The Levite

Prayer Journal: January 20, 2026
13. Apr. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Leviticus 21:10-12

▣ Introduction_ The Way to Receive Answers
Thank You. Everyone prays in order to receive answers. However, they do not actually know well how they should do it. Today, you must take that with you. There is a way to definitely receive answers to prayer.

Now, currently in Europe and America, many churches are closing their doors. Even in our Korea, about 50% are non-self-reliant churches. From what I see, it is about 70%, but according to statistics, it comes out that way. About 50% are non-self-reliant churches. Yet, denominations keep increasing and even seminaries increase. However, churches decrease. So, such serious problems have come, but why is that? It is because they do not know how to receive answers.

Now, there will be those here today who are believing for the first time as well. It is about how I must live my life of faith to receive answers. Also, our Remnants must survive alone when they go overseas or far away. It is about how they must do this. Also, there are elites who are successful in their own way. If these elites do not know the way, they suffer greatly. A friend I know studied well and became a judge, but he suffered from that day on. Yes, he suffered so much that he said there was nowhere to even get counseling. Now, for those who are sick, it is difficult, is it not? What must be done?

1. After Christ triumphed on the cross, all believers are the tribe of Levi, the priesthood of all believers (1 Peter 2:9)
Today, you must remember one word. It is the Levites. Originally, Levi was one of the sons of Jacob. Originally, land was not given only to the tribe of Levi. So, it was given to the eleven, but not to Levi. Why? It was to serve only the church. It was to only pray. It was like this. Then, what would they live on? While the eleven tribes held that land, they would give one-tenth each. That is the original beginning of tithing. That is given to the tribe of Levi. In a sense, the eleven tribes are not giving it, but they are holding the land of Levi. Because of that, they must farm and give it. To this tribe of Levi, it was said do not extinguish the 24 lamps. Do not come out of the sanctuary today. It is written that way in verse 12.

Now, but what does this have to do with you? When Jesus was hung on the cross and executed, what kind of event occurred? In the temple, there is the Holy of Holies and the sanctuary, and a curtain was blocking it, right? That veil was torn. In 1 Peter 2:9, what did Peter say? He said that all people are a royal priesthood. Therefore, since the victory of the cross of Christ, all people have become the tribe of Levi. Theologically, it is called the doctrine of the priesthood of all believers. Now, however, that was distinguished theologically, and it is about what on earth this tribe of Levi did. You must grasp that today.

2. The tribe of Levi that lit the 24 lamps and saw three things
The tribe of Levi was lighting the 24 lamps. Here, they lit the 24 lamps and saw those three things.

1) The flow of prayer 24 – Happy enjoyment
The flow of prayer 24 that can be enjoyed most happily. You must be careful. The flow.
2) The flow of the Word 24 – Strength, life
The flow of the Word 24 that becomes our greatest strength and life.
3) The flow of evidence 24 – Evidence given on the wilderness road
While going on the wilderness road, much of God’s evidence comes out. The flow of evidence 24. You must see this.
So, God is doing three things even now, is He not? He is answering prayer. He is fulfilling the Word. He is fulfilling the work of salvation. If so, you must confirm where our church and I are right now. If you do not confirm that, the fulfillment of the covenant has nothing to do with you. The Word is the living Word, and the gospel is the living gospel, but there is a flow—the things being fulfilled. If I do not align with that at all, answers do not come. You must not miss this. Everyone is the tribe of Levi. Everyone is a priest. Is that not right? Since the victory of Jesus on the cross, everyone is so.

3. Five things given to block disasters while going on the wilderness road
Now, why did He give these blessings? God gave five things to block disasters while going on the wilderness road. What are they?

1) Genesis – The cause and answer to all problems
What is the cause and answer to all problems? That is Genesis. It was given while going on the wilderness road.
2) Exodus – Exit darkness
Coming out of Egypt is not the problem; you must exit darkness. That is Exodus.
3) Leviticus – The flow of the Word, prayer, and evidence
There is a flow of the Word, prayer, and evidence. That is the book of Leviticus.
4) Numbers – When the 12 tribes confirmed the 12 regions, He made them enter Canaan.
When the 12 tribes confirmed the 12 regions, God made them enter Canaan. That is Numbers. From the moment all elders decide on one region, God’s work begins.
5) Deuteronomy – Before entering the land of Canaan, make this history an imprint, root, and nature.
Before entering the land of Canaan, make this tremendous history an imprint, root, and nature. That is Deuteronomy.
He gave these five tremendous things. In the wilderness.

4. Even now, the Word, prayer, and evidence are being fulfilled, and you must grasp where I am.
If so, what you must grasp today is that even now, prayer, the Word, and evidence are being fulfilled. You must grasp where I am. It is okay even if you have no power. It is about where I am.

A person named Theophilus never did evangelism, yet he received the great blessing of evangelism. Where was he? He was the person who received the Acts of the Apostles because it was recorded and given to him. So, you must always confirm it that way. Where am I right now—it becomes an accurate covenant only when you confirm this.

As I mentioned in the morning, when I was young, I realized that prayer did not work for me. I did not pray. Because prayer didn’t work. That was my current address. That is also an answer. Prayer not working is also an answer. I am there right now. But a miracle happened. I thought about and confirmed that, and God made me pray.

Also, in the past when I was a student, I always thought I was poor and did not pay attention to offering. I did not give offerings. One day, I realized. Ah, if there were only people like me, the world churches would close their doors. I am a very bad guy. It was realized. From then on, works began to happen. Confirm it. You must confirm where you are. You just need to confirm it. God is bound to work.

As I mentioned in the morning, because I lived as a minister for a long time, if you are a minister for a long time, if you are not careful, worship does not work. You should sit and worship like the elders, but it is difficult for this minister to worship. Ah, I realized that I was not able to worship. I said that to the pastor I was serving. Pastor, worship is not working for me. Then he told me to worship. To put it simply, I confirmed where I was. You must definitely grasp this today.

▣ Main

1. The start of the 3 flows – A Levite family (Exodus 2)
First. A Levite family started. Where is it? It is Exodus 2. A Levite man married a Levite woman, and the son they bore was Moses.

1) Moses’ mother who accurately saw the 3 flows of where they were now – The state where the children were dying
Now, Moses’ mother saw the 3 flows. This is important. The 3 flows—the Word, prayer, and evidence—are being fulfilled, but where are we now? Our children have come to a state where they are dying. Now, she saw this accurately.

2) Jochebed who planted the sure covenant, prayer, and the gospel and sent her son to the palace
Then what does she do? She sends her son to the palace. That is the only place to live. She sent him after planting the sure covenant, prayer, and the gospel.

3) Miracles happened in the palace, in Egypt, and in the wilderness.
Miracles happened in the palace, did they not? Right? Miracles happened in Egypt. She only did that. Miracles happened in the wilderness. You must grasp the covenant like this.
No, a kid who is bad at studying should start from where he is bad; if he starts by raising it a few levels, will it work? That is trying not to study. My skill is only this much. You must start from there. Right? There is no need to follow others.
When Moses’ mother looked, what kind of situation had come? A situation where they were dying had come. That is the start. So, the son—everyone, you know the incident. This is how he came to enter the palace. Moses entered the palace, graduated from the palace university, and learned many things. Later, through this Moses, 10 miracles happen in Egypt. In the wilderness, there is no one who received as many answers as Moses. The three feasts, the ark of the covenant, it all came out.

2. The 24 of the 3 flows – Levite office (Verse 12 anointing)
Second. That is the start, and what is the second? It is today’s scripture. Now, the 24 of the 3 flows has come out. The Levite office came out. In verse 12 today, what does it say? It said that the anointing oil was poured. Oil was poured. God has poured oil upon you.

1) 24 while holding the names of the 12 tribes – The priest’s clothing
What was he told to do? On this (breastplate) of the Levite tribe priest, there are the names of the 12 tribes. It means they did 24 while holding the names of the 12 tribes.

2) Watchman 24 – Do not come out of the sanctuary.
Also, the characteristic is: do not come out of that sanctuary. In that sanctuary, if you look closely, everything is there, but one thing is missing. There is the table of showbread and everything else, but one thing is missing. What is missing? There is no chair. The priest has no chair. What is it? Watchman 24. He gave something tremendous.

3) The three courtyards 24 – When night comes, the lights must be lit outside as well.
And the lights must be lit outside too. When it becomes night. The three courtyards 24. He gave the covenant exactly like this. Now, you must not miss it.

3. The 25 and eternity of the 3 flows – The power of the tribe of Levi (Numbers 17:8 Aaron’s budded staff)
It should not get complicated, so third. The power of the tribe of Levi begins to emerge, and this is where the 25 and eternity of the 3 flows come out.
What is it? It is Numbers 17:8. They brought the staffs of all the tribes and stuck them in the ground. God said to stick them in. A bud sprouted on Aaron’s staff. Aaron is of the tribe of Levi. Right? He is a priest.

1) Never miss the power of the Word during public worship
When you worship, God makes buds sprout even on dead wood through the Word. This is not Aaron. It is not Aaron’s staff.
※ God gives life to you who are worshiping through the Word, just as life sprouts on a dry stick.
It means God makes it so that life emerges on a dry stick for you who are worshiping. Everyone, you must never miss the power of the Word during public worship. Try it from now on.

(1) On Sunday, listen to the Word and imprint it through prayer.
On Sunday, listen to the Word and imprint it. Through prayer. Miracles happen. Try it. I am telling you to imprint it. You cannot memorize it all. Imprint it. Imprint God’s grace and power. Especially, our Remnants just need to do that. Remnants cannot read the Bible a lot. Are Remnants reading the Bible day and night? They cannot do that. Imprint what was worshiped.

(2) If you do personal prayer, it takes root.
Next, if you do personal prayer, it takes root.

(3) When the Word and life movement become full, it becomes a nature and the power to do world evangelization arises.
And what is it? Now, when the Word and life movement become full, it becomes your nature. Through this, the power to do world evangelization arises. You must never miss it.

2) God is in the midst of Word fulfillment, prayer answer, and the work of salvation; it is about where I am. If you grasp that flow accurately, answers are seen every week.
God is fulfilling the Word even now. God is answering prayer even now. Even now, He is fulfilling the work of salvation. It is about where I am. Only then is the covenant grasped; other people’s things are of no use. It is about where I am. There is no such thing as having to do well. You just need to confirm where you are. He did not say, “Adam, why did you do that?” He said, “Where are you?” Right? He said, “Where are you?” He said the same thing to Cain; it was not, “Hey, is it okay for you to do that?” but He asked where he was. In fact, that Adam was deceived by listening to his wife’s words. Is that not so? But to Adam. Not Eve, but to Adam He asked, “Where are you?”
Even now, Word fulfillment, prayer, and evidence continue to take place, and only when you accurately grasp that flow do works begin to happen. You will be startled. Then, answers are seen every week. Then, because the Word is being fulfilled, works begin from this time. Most are wrong. It is in such an easy place, yet they are missing this now. So, you must grasp the living Word, but because you miss it, it becomes unrelated to you. Because God is answering your prayers even now, where I am is important. And now, if the church—our church—confirms what part of God’s Word fulfillment it is in, and if I confirm my own, it is enough.

3) What happened when the covenant was accurately grasped
Then, because the Word is fulfilled, what kind of things happen? Unthinkable things happen.

(1) Jochebed – It turned into the work of saving Israel.
Jochebed only grasped the covenant accurately, but God turned it into the work of saving Israel.

(2) Moses – After confirming where he was, amazing things happened with just one staff.
Moses had not seen this at first. Because he could not grasp this, even though he became 80, answers did not come. Even though it was almost time to grow old and die, they did not come—the answers. God confirmed this exactly. A fire was lit on Mt. Horeb. How surprised he must have been. At that time, “Moses. The place where you are standing is holy ground, so take off your sandals from your feet. Go to Pharaoh and speak. Tell him that you will send my people to offer a blood sacrifice.” So, Moses was so appalled that he only then came to his senses. At first, he said, “I cannot go.” It meant, “I caused an accident there and ran away, so I cannot go.” It meant, “How old am I now, I cannot go.” They are not wrong words. “I am Jehovah. Say that Jehovah sent you. I am the I AM.” It means He is the Creator God. “I will lift my mighty hand and be with you.” Now he confirmed it. Moses now confirmed where he was. Amazing things happened with just one staff. You must grasp this covenant.

(3) Joshua – Since he saw the 3 flows, God confirmed the covenant of being with him and the land of Canaan and then God worked.
But he was with Moses in the same way, and as we will see in the second service today, twelve spies were sent. Ten people said they could not go. At that time, Joshua and Caleb confessed their faith. They confessed the covenant. So, these are the words God said to Joshua when Moses died. He said, “Just as I was with Moses, I will be with you.” Why? Because he saw it. “I have already given you the land of Canaan.” It is not “I will give it.” “I have given it. Be courageous. Do not be afraid.” He kept saying it. “Do not be dismayed.” Because such things will happen. On the way, the Jordan parted, Jericho collapsed, and an uproar occurred. Because God worked.

▣ Conclusion
You must take this with you today.

1. You are watchmen who light the 24 lamps and keep the three flows.
You are watchmen who light the 24 lamps and keep the three flows. Then, without fail, answers come.

2. If you are doing 24, 25 comes and you will leave behind an eternal masterpiece.
Many people ask like this. Today as well, I have meetings with our young adults and university students, and their questions are all the same. It is like, “How should I pray?” So, I wonder if these kids don’t listen to the sermons, or if I am bad at preaching. It’s one of the two. I clearly said it, and I said it a lot. It is simple. 24. You just need to be doing it. Then 25 comes. Then an eternal masterpiece remains. It is certain.

3. You will build the three courtyards, pass through the wilderness, and become witnesses who save the 5,000 tribes and 237 nations.
You will build the three courtyards, pass through the wilderness, and become witnesses who save the 5,000 tribes and 237 nations. While praying all day today, it must be imprinted. God’s power must be imprinted. Then healing occurs and everything occurs. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes the greatest day of your life.

Prayer. God, we give You thanks. We thank You for the calling as Levites. Let us become witnesses who light the 24 lamps. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Mission of All Disciples

Prayer Journal: January 19, 2026
12. Apr. 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8

When you go out into the world, there are many things that prevent you from knowing God’s true blessing and true power. Therefore, you only need to not be deceived by that. Also, even when you go to church, many things constantly happen to prevent you from receiving the true Gospel movement, the true church, and the answers you are meant to receive.

Without being deceived, today is about the very important mission of every disciple. During the industrial missions time, we covered the mission of our church leaders and businesspeople, and we also prepared the mission for the Remnants; this is the mission for every disciple. Jesus gave it.

▣ Introduction_ [24] – Seeing [Enjoyment]
Now, what you must not miss here in the introduction is that to achieve true revival and answers, 24 is not about “doing” the most important thing. It is seeing. It is seeing first before doing. Only then can you enjoy it. If you haven’t seen it, how can it be visible? That is why I tell you to pray. I will give about 10 pieces of evidence.

1. Genesis 13:18
Abraham finally saw the 24. He saw what he needed to do for 24. He began to build an altar. You know very well what happened. The point is not just the 24 as a duration of time; it is that he saw it.

2. Exodus 2:1-10
When a great crisis came, Moses’ mother saw the 24. From then on, she must have continued it. 24.

3. Exodus 3:18-20
From this point on, although he was old, Moses saw the 24.
Pastors, do not worry; just establish 12 people who have seen the 24. It will be finished. Is the region difficult? Those are all excuses. Church leaders, establish disciples who can influence 70 regions. That is why 70 Elders and 70 agents were established. You must not miss this. I will speak about it during next Sunday’s sermon as well, so look at it and do not miss it.

4. 12 Tribes – 12 Regions
When the 12 tribes entered the land of Canaan, they saw the 24 after the 12 regions were confirmed. Got it?

5. 1,000 Bartizans – 3 Courtyard Temple
After David met Samuel, he saw the 24. It is the 1,000 bartizans and the 3 courtyard temple. He saw the standard. This is important. That is why I am telling you to conduct this training at RU. You have to see. Because people leave behind that tremendous blessing and cannot see it, they cannot go. Even if they go, it is useless. And the church does not work out.

6. 1 Kings 18:1-15, 19:1-21, 2 Kings 6:8-24
Look. Obadiah saw what he should do for 24. He risked his life to protect the prophets so they would not die. At this time, in 1 Kings 19:1-21, Elijah said, “I can’t do this anymore. Please take me away.” That is funny. He hadn’t even started. God showed him what he truly needed to do for 24. “There are 7,000 disciples besides you. Establish Elisha. I will change the king.” He told him what he should do for 24. Elijah, who understood this, created the Dothan movement and began the 24.

7. Daniel 1:8-9
Daniel saw what he should do for 24. Honestly, with this, it is finished.

8. Haggai 2:1-9
It is Haggai chapter 2. “Go and rebuild the temple. This is the word of the Lord. I will shake the heavens and the earth, the nations and the sea. This is the word of the Lord.” It appeared 6 times. He knew what he had to do.

9. Acts 1:1-8 (7.7.7)
Jesus told them on Mt Olive what to do for 24. Isn’t that this (7.7.7)? The 7 bartizans, journeys, and guideposts. You just need to do 24.

10. Acts 13, 16, 19
Lastly, Paul saw what he should do for 24. Right? He did 24 for chapters 13, 16, and 19.

▣ Main_ [25] – Waiting for the Time Schedule
We enter the body. You already have it. 25. You have it. People say they don’t have it. You have it, and you are waiting for the time schedule with conviction. Right? This is it.
Therefore, your work must receive answers so you can evangelize. Right? You must succeed in your studies to do missions; if you don’t do that, you can’t do it. You already have it. You are waiting for the 25. For what?

1. A Regional Church That Only Does Evangelism
Knowing this, create a regional church that only does evangelism. Knowing this, then every workplace of the church leaders and yourselves will become a regional church that does evangelism. Pastors are establishing people who know 24, understand, and possess 25 for regional churches that only do evangelism. People who have seen the 24.
A crowd of priests began to repent. The door to Samaria opened. Look. Paul was broken. Finally, at the house of Simon the tanner, the door to Cornelius opened. The door to Antioch opened. This is 25.

2. 12 Disciples, 70 Workers
Finally, what is it? The 12 disciples. Take note, pastors. Pastors don’t even have to go. Establish the 12 disciples in 12 places who understand and have seen the 24. Try it. For church leaders, it is even greater. Enjoy answers to the extent that you influence 70 workers. That is what you should see. You must see and possess it. The Bible speaks of this ministry.
What comes out at this time is Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. This is 25. 24, 25, disciples of eternity, re-production. It’s over. I am talking about 25 right now.

3. One Nation – One Region
Finally, look. You saw one nation. You saw one region. Do not just do it, but see one region and one nation. Having already seen the 24, you are waiting for the 25. Works are bound to happen. Hold onto the covenant firmly; because this is important, you must pray.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion?

[Eternity][What is Guaranteed][Challenge]
The conclusion is challenging toward eternity. This is guaranteed. Already. It is guaranteed. Therefore, we challenge. What is guaranteed? Three things are guaranteed.

1. Romans 16:25
While you are just still, He says He will give what was hidden since before eternity. Furthermore, He says He will give it after having hidden it so as not to give it to others. He hid it to not give it to people who do 24 with only physical things, and now He is giving it.

2. Romans 16:26
Moreover, He will give it to your work in every field you go to.

3. Romans 16:27
More importantly, He says He will give what will exist for eternity. This is the conclusion.
What is the introduction of our lives? It is seeing. What is the body? It is waiting for what has already been given. It is challenging what is guaranteed. You must hold onto the covenant.

Now I will conclude with the scattered disciples.

[Daily Schedule]
It is your daily schedule.

1. Morning – 7 Bartizans
In the morning, there is something you must confirm during prayer. You confirm in the morning. You confirm in the morning. Although you pray for all of 7.7.7, in the morning time, you confirm so that the 7 bartizans are within you.

2. Daytime – 7 Journeys
During the day, you confirm the 7 journeys. Although all of 7.7.7 are there, it is so during the day—since it is a journey, you confirm it.
Who do I think is the most useless person in the church? Someone who doesn’t know the preciousness of a person; that is a useless person. Right? You don’t know what will happen through a Remnant in the future. Right? You don’t know what will happen through a person raised by a missionary. That person moved the world. You don’t know what kind of work God will fulfill through that person who lacks power or is wrong. In the church, there are also people who are lacking. No one knows what kind of God’s blessing a lacking person will enjoy. Right? Realizing that is what it means to have understood the Gospel. God uses Timothy and He also uses Onesimus.

3. Night – 7 Guideposts
Therefore, the night is the time to confirm the 7 guideposts. Thus, this conference, meeting, and the core were held in Europe, and God has given very important things. If you hold onto this and do exactly as told, it is bound to happen. For missionaries and pastors, it is the 12 regions; for church leaders, it is the 70 workers’ field. Because of that, your work must enter into the 70 regions, 70 disciples, and 70 nations. That is how world evangelization is done. God blessed Isaac 100-fold, a 100-year blessing. Because that is how world evangelization is achieved. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. From today, let the invisible bartizans, journeys, and guideposts begin. Let eternal disciples arise who see the 24 and wait for the 25. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Like the Prayer of Elisha

2 Kings 6:8-23.  Now the king of Aram was at war with Israel. After conferring with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in such and such a place.”

9 The man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Beware of passing that place, because the Arameans are going down there.” 10 So the king of Israel checked on the place indicated by the man of God. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.

11 This enraged the king of Aram. He summoned his officers and demanded of them, “Tell me! Which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”

12 “None of us, my lord the king,” said one of his officers, “but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”

13 “Go, find out where he is,” the king ordered, “so I can send men and capture him.” The report came back: “He is in Dothan.” 14 Then he sent horses and chariots and a strong force there. They went by night and surrounded the city.

15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh no, my lord! What shall we do?” the servant asked.

16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”

17 And Elisha prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

18 As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Strike this army with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.

19 Elisha told them, “This is not the road and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will lead you to the man you are looking for.” And he led them to Samaria.

20 After they entered the city, Elisha said, “Lord, open the eyes of these men so they can see.” Then the Lord opened their eyes and they looked, and there they were, inside Samaria.

21 When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “Shall I kill them, my father? Shall I kill them?”

22 “Do not kill them,” he answered. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them so that they may eat and drink and then go back to their master.” 23 So he prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. So the bands from Aram stopped raiding Israel’s territory.

God works through those who believe in Him and trust in His power. Throughout Scripture, He fulfills His Word by sending His angel armies to protect, guide, strengthen, and advance His purposes for His chosen people. What appears invisible to human eyes is often the very arena where God is most actively at work.

From the beginning, God has revealed His power through angelic ministry. He sent angels to Abraham to promise a son through whom Christ would come (Genesis 18:1–15). He sent angels to Lot to rescue him and his family from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19:1–29). He sent the commander of the Lord’s army to Joshua to encourage him before the battle of Jericho (Joshua 5:13–15).

When Elijah was exhausted, discouraged, and on the run for his life, God sent an angel to provide food and water to strengthen him for the journey ahead (1 Kings 19:1–9). And in Today’s Word, when a vast Aramean army surrounded the city where Elisha was staying, God answered Elisha’s prayer and revealed His angel armies—horses and chariots of fire filling the hills around them (2 Kings 6:17).

In a moment of national crisis, when King Hezekiah cried out to the Lord, God sent an angel who struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night (2 Kings 19:35). When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the blazing furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar testified:

“Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods” (Daniel 3:25).

God had sent His angel to protect them. Likewise, God sent an angel to Daniel to shut the mouths of the lions: “My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight” (Daniel 6:22).

To prepare the way for the coming of His Son, God sent the angel Gabriel to Zechariah to announce the birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:11–20). After Jesus overcame the devil’s temptation, angels came and attended Him (Matthew 4:11).

The ministry of angels intensified as the gospel spread through the Early Church. Angels announced Christ’s return (Acts 1:11), opened prison doors (Acts 5:19), guided missionaries (Acts 8:26; 10:3), delivered believers (Acts 12:7), executed God’s judgment (Acts 12:23), and strengthened servants of God in moments of danger (Acts 27:23).

Only when we grasp the spiritual reality of our Triune God can we speak with the confidence of Elisha: “Don’t be afraid. Those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (2 Kings 6:16). And only then can we pray as Elisha did: “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see” (2 Kgs 6:17).

Who was this man who could see what others could not? How could he pray with such authority and confidence?

Elisha heard God’s call through Elijah during one of the darkest periods in Israel’s history—a time dominated by idolatry and spiritual compromise. Elijah was being hunted by a ruthless queen determined to kill him. To follow Elijah was to embrace danger and potential death. Yet Elisha did not hesitate:

“He took his yoke of oxen and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant” (1 Kings 19:21).

Elisha eliminated every safety net. He destroyed anything that could draw him back. He went all in for the kingdom of God. That day, Elisha received a heavenly mandate. He embraced God’s urgent call to confront idols and restore the covenant and true worship. He discovered his life’s mission and pursued it with unwavering devotion.

While others were distracted by worldly interests, Elisha followed Elijah faithfully to the very end. When Elijah was taken up to heaven, Elisha boldly asked for a “double portion” of his spirit (2 Kings 2:9). Filled with the power of the Holy Spirit, Elisha became a mighty spiritual leader in Israel.

Most importantly, Elisha devoted his life to raising up the next generation of leaders. The city of Dothan—where the angel armies appeared—was not random. God’s attention was fixed on that place because His servant was faithfully carrying out His mission. And God surrounded it with horses and chariots of fire.

May God open our eyes so that we, too, may see, declare, and pray like Elisha. May He fill us with a double portion of the Spirit so that we may carry out the task the Lord Jesus has given us—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace. Let us go all in, considering our lives worth nothing to us, so that we may finish the race and complete the work God has entrusted to us (Acts 20:24).

Too often, our vision for worldly things is stronger than our vision for spiritual realities. As a result, we “wander from the true faith and pierce ourselves with many sorrows” (1 Timothy 6:10). When we prioritize temporal gains over eternal truths, we inevitably lose sight of the divine guidepost intended to lead us toward lasting peace.

Remember that your enemy, the devil, seeks to blur your spiritual vision. Resist him, and he will flee from you (James 4:7). Ask God to sharpen your spiritual sight so that you can see beyond present circumstances into His eternal purposes. That is exactly what Elisha did.

You possess Christ—the source of true strength. Do not be anxious about anything. You are precious and honored in the sight of your Father. Begin today to pray the prayer of Elisha. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness in all you do (Matthew 6:33).

When you do, you will be like Elisha—winning without fighting (2 Kings 6:18–23).

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

The 3 Economies Given To People Who Will Do World Missions

2026.01.18 Sunday 2nd Service
Remnant Summit Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Genesis 26:1-24

Thank you. We must think deeply about what we will leave behind for the next generation. We must also ask ourselves at least once: “Am I truly a person who will do world missions?” If not, your life will not align with the Bible. If you have no intention of saving people, the words of the Bible are meaningless; they are just repetitive sounds. However, for a person destined for world missions, the Word is alive and moving. There are “Three Economies” given to such a person.

We read a long passage today. Abraham Lincoln once said during a war, “Do not pray that God is on our side; pray that we are on God’s side. God is already with us.” He has already prepared everything.

[ 3 Concentrations – 3 Settings – 3 Answers ] [ 300% ]
Why do we emphasize the “3 Concentrations”? It is because they lead to the “3 Settings” and the “3 Answers.” Through this process, the 300% prepared by God becomes ready. This is why we are told to pray.

▣ Introduction: 5 Things to Do First

To achieve this, there are five essential things you must do first. You absolutely cannot skip these.

1. Destiny – Liberation
You must receive liberation that changes your destiny.
1) Eden Incident: You must clearly escape from the problem of Genesis 3.
2) Noah’s Flood: Escape from the Nephilim age.
3) Babel Tower: Escape from the falling age of Babel. God told Abraham, “Go to the land I will show you.” This must be delivered to Isaac. God promised that through Abraham’s offspring, all nations would be blessed. You must do this first.

2. Age 100 – People of the Covenant
Abraham had Isaac at age 100. You must tell the Remnants: “You are a person of the covenant.” Whether you are in difficulty or not doesn’t matter; you are a liberated person of the covenant. When you believe this, God credits it as righteousness and answers everything. (Think of the failures of Lot and Ishmael—those happened when the covenant was lost).

3. Mount Moriah [Absolute Imprint of the Gospel]
Everything starts here. If the Gospel is not absolutely imprinted, you won’t understand anything, whether answers come or not. Abraham took Isaac to that mountain to imprint the Gospel. You remember things best when you face death. Isaac saw the ram provided instead of his own death. From that moment, darkness breaks, and spiritual/physical diseases are healed. This is the key.

4. The Well [Economy]
All the wells Abraham dug were passed to Isaac. Wells represent economic blessings. In those days, a well was a person’s entire fortune.

5. The Reason [The Nations]
God wants to save the nations through you. More accurately, Remnants must realize: “It is not that I am saving the nations, but God is directly saving the nations through me.”

▣ Main: The Recovery of the 3 Economies

1. The Economy of Light

Remnants must recover this. It is easier to live by the Economy of Light than to struggle just to live on a small salary.

1) Genesis 13:14-18: After Lot left, God told Abraham to lift his eyes and look in every direction. “Everything you see, I will give to you and your offspring forever.”
2) Genesis 14:14-20: Abraham defeated kings and gave a tithe to Melchizedek. Whether your offering is small or large, it becomes the Economy of Light. Don’t try to direct where your tithe goes; trust the church, as they know where it is needed most.
3) Genesis 15:1: God said, “I am your shield and your very great reward.” Some people complain about calling God our “Bartizan” or “Reward,” but these are poetic expressions of the greatest blessing.

2. The Remnant (RT) Economy

1) Farming – 100 Years (v. 12): Isaac farmed and received a hundredfold blessing in one year. This is needed for world missions.
2) Recovery of Wells (v. 18): He recovered the wells the enemies had stopped up.
3) Source of the Spring (v. 19): Even when enemies interfered, God gave him the “source of the spring.” Even if people block you, if you have the source (the root), it doesn’t matter.

3. The Missions Economy

1) Other Wells (v. 18): He dug other wells to carry out world missions.
2) Rehoboth (v. 22): Despite attacks, he moved to a larger place and found another well. God makes room for you.
3) Beersheba (v. 23-25): While others were dying of thirst, he found another well at Beersheba. This is the economy God opens specifically for missions.

▣ Conclusion: The Church God Pleasures Most

Our church doesn’t need to be the “biggest” in the world, but it should be the church that God is most pleased with. We must bet our lives on raising the “Highest Remnants.”

1. The 3 Courtyards: A church where the three courtyards (Gentiles, Prayer, Children) are open 24 hours.
2. Fri-Sat-Sun: A church where the doors are open 24 hours for the Fri-Sat-Sun era.
3. Meditation: A courtyard where talented people can enter into the 24-hour age of meditation and prayer.
4. North Korea: A courtyard to save North Korea. We must be unified through the Gospel, not just ideology.
5. Red-Diamond Team: Just as Harvard has a “Black Diamond” team, we must create a “Red Diamond” team with Remnants.

We must educate our Remnants on the “Secret Financial System.” The Jews dominate the economy because they educate their children from a young age. We are in a frightening era where AI will do all the work. If we don’t have the promised economy of God, we will fall into the culture of darkness.

Don’t make things complicated. Look to the Lord (3 Concentrations). Experience the power of the Throne. Making the 300% is easy once you have this. This is the era of the Remnant.

Prayer. God, thank You for opening the doors to the world. Grant special grace to the President of Vanuatu and his staff. May the workers from important nations realize the Gospel today. Use our Remnants for world evangelization and let them stand as witnesses of the 300%. In Jesus Christ’s name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Genesis 3:1-7

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. 5 “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. 7 Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

The Triune God is My Bartizan

2026.01.18 District Message 3rd Week
Scripture Reading:  Genesis 1:27

There are many people everywhere facing difficulties right now. Because of this, some people cannot endure and even commit suicide. As I mentioned before, some people are saved after coming to the hospital for a suicide attempt, but they remain in a very difficult state. The shocking fact is that 75% of them were adolescents. What was so hard for these young people that such a situation is occurring? If you think, “I am struggling, but it’s okay,” your brain thinks that way. On a hot day, if you say, “I’m going to die of heat,” your brain thinks, “I guess I’ll die of heat.” However, people who commit suicide or commit murder do so because they think, “I don’t want to live,” or “I want to die,” and it happens because of that thought.

「Bartizan of Darkness – Bartizan of the Triune God」 [Brain] [Soul] [Revelation 8:3-5]
One day, without even realizing it, a bartizan of darkness is established. This is why prayer is so important. When you pray, a bartizan is created. The reason we are sitting here today is to set up God’s bartizan. And it’s not just any god, but the bartizan of the Triune God. This is extremely important. What you repeatedly pray and say becomes imprinted in your brain. If “I should die” becomes imprinted, you truly end up dying. A normal person is scared when looking down from a high place and acts with caution; however, if this bartizan of darkness is imprinted in the brain, they feel like they want to jump. Even when we sing and pray today, it is surely imprinted here (the soul). As I always say, you must always remember: according to Revelation 8:3-5, your prayers and words are exactly imprinted on the throne. Only through this blessing can we do these three things.

▣ Introduction

1. Change the Bartizan
Change the bartizan that is within me. As you pray today, ask God to change the bartizan.
2. The New Bartizan
And then, set up a new bartizan.
3. The Absolute Bartizan
Then, set up the absolute bartizan. From this point on, answers begin to come.

When you start setting up a new bartizan and the absolute bartizan is established, answers begin to flow from that moment.

▣ Main _ The Absolute Bartizan

So, what kind of absolute bartizan should we set up? “Absolute” means it does not disappear. It refers to what God gives. When you set up this bartizan, answers surely begin. What is that absolute bartizan?

1. Genesis 1:27
It is recovering the image of God. When God first created humans, He created them in His image. Before that, it was said there was darkness, emptiness, and confusion. At that time, He created with the Word of power.

1) Darkness, Emptiness, Confusion: Without God, humans remain in darkness, emptiness, and confusion.
2) The Word: To eliminate this, He created through the Word.
3) Genesis 1:28: Then He gave new strength. “Subdue and rule.” We must surely recover this. We are recovering the image of God.

2. Matthew 28:16-20
Jesus spoke this directly. Christ, who completed this, resurrected and spoke of this bartizan. What was it? The same words came out: “Baptize them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”

1) All Authority: “I have all authority in heaven and on earth.”
2) With You: “I will always be with you.”
3) The Triune God: Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is the Triune God. Baptize in that name which works invisibly even now.

> Answers come first through invisible things. Likewise, failure and disease also come invisibly first. Spiritual answers come first in an invisible way.

3. Acts 1:1-8
Finally, these are the last words given. Finally, it is the absolute bartizan. There are three things:

1) Christ: The Christ who becomes every way. Though it’s the solution to three things, He is the Christ who is the solution to everything. He is imprinted when you believe.
2) Things of the Kingdom of God: How did Christ explain this? “Only the things of the Kingdom of God.”
3) Only the Holy Spirit: Because people of the world do not know this, you must not be ignorant of it. For people of the world, there is nothing more than eating well until they die. Therefore, they don’t need these words and can’t understand them. If you don’t know this, there is no one to tell them.

Today might look like just a regular service, but a bartizan is being created. Without this, you cannot save the world. If someone says, “If you graduate as valedictorian from Harvard, you will have the power to save the world,” then we should do that, but it doesn’t work that way. At most, it just gets you a job. Working hard only leads to a promotion. It doesn’t even make much money. What about world evangelization? It won’t happen. You’ll just barely make a living. But as we will hear in the 2nd service, God gave Isaac three types of economy. You cannot do it on your own, but when the Holy Spirit comes, power is generated.

Today is the time to set up the bartizan. It is very important to confess with your words. On Sundays, it is good to pray out loud. Saying “In the name of Jesus Christ, may the forces of darkness depart” internally is good, but speaking it out loud is also good. That imprints it and builds the bartizan. You need to keep praying in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ who has all authority. One day, you will find the answers have arrived. You will be surprised. Your life will be changed. Miracles will happen, and you will begin to save people.

▣ Conclusion

1. Romans 16
When the bartizan of the Triune God is established, you will receive the same answers as the people in Romans chapter 16. God is the same today as He was then.
2. Hidden Things
At that time, He gave you the things that were hidden.
3. 3 Concentrations
What is the best way to gain strength right now? 3 Concentrations. What is the best way to be healed? 3 Concentrations. Focus on recovering all strength. It doesn’t have to be just in the morning—concentrate on confirming God’s blessings. Concentrate on finding the answer. Finding the answer means a concentration that creates the 300%. Our Remnants and young adults must remember: the morning is for gaining and recovering strength, the daytime is for confirming that strength, and the night is for finding the answer and making a “masterpiece” with that strength. 300%. Then you will triumph.

Especially for our young adults who are running hard right now, do not worry; go down to the very bottom and start there. Then nothing is impossible. Why go to the bottom? Because you have nothing. Also, other backgrounds won’t work. You go to the bottom, and from there, you head toward the top. We find the thing with the highest value. Always remember: go to the very bottom and find the most valuable thing.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be a day of gaining great strength through concentration and a day of healing.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let the bartizan be established as we pray all day today. Let the bartizan of darkness collapse. Let the bartizan of the Triune God be established. Let it be a day of healing, a day where answers accumulate, and a day where the Word is fulfilled. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

There Is Only One Way For Answers and World Missions

2026.01.18 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 22:1-18

▣ Introduction

If we do not know three important things, there are no answers. Because these are always-present problems, we must not be ignorant of them. European and American churches are closing their doors because they do not know this. I say it again. It is a certain fact. That is why over ten thousand American churches have closed in the past few years. They say those remaining will also close by 2030. Meanwhile, disasters and mental illnesses in America are skyrocketing. It is because they do not know these three things. I believe a church that does not know these three is an unnecessary church. That is why European churches closed early on. We must be a bit careful, as Korean churches are also rapidly shrinking.

Today, the President of Vanuatu and several security personnel are in attendance. We must make these three reasons known to Vanuatu and the island nations. If you do not make them known, there are no answers for you either. Even if you are disciples like us or listening to my message, if you don’t know this, answers will not come. They definitely will not come.

A princess from an important nation is also attending the service today. This must be delivered to that nation as well. You must know it before you can deliver it.

What on earth is it?

1) Genesis 3:1-6

It is continuing even now. Satan, who is completely invisible, enters the person closest to the target. Knowing that Eve and the serpent got along well, he entered the serpent. Then he said, “You are important. Your thoughts are what matter.” It sounds right. “You can become like God. You just need to practice self-discipline. You just need to seek the Way. You just need to become like Buddha.” It is all the same talk. “Don’t believe in God. Then you will become a great figure.” They were deceived. This is how they were captured by darkness. From then on, immense disasters and curses began to come. But it is continuing even now. Isn’t the New Age organization that has completely seized America telling people not to believe in God and to become God themselves right now? No one living in America is saying anything. One scholar in America asked, “Are they not doing it?” He was surprised, asking what kind of organization Darakbang is to say such things. This isn’t something to just pass over; it is happening right now. Because of this, it has even dug into Korean schools through the meditation movement. It didn’t end there.

2) Genesis 6:4-5

Now it has entered inside people. The Nephilim age. People just become possessed by spirits. Strangely, they don’t want to be shamans, but they become them. So they perform idol worship. The state of being entered by Satan is called Nephilim. In Noah’s time, a total disaster came. How is it now? You know the Freemasons, right? They do spirit-contact movements every day. So, first, they use that power to create work that is far superior to yours. Disasters continue to fall. It didn’t end there.

3) Genesis 11:1-8

Now it hasn’t just entered inside people. It enters into ideologies. It enters into policies and ideologies. “Let’s join forces. Let’s build a city. Now, instead of Jehovah, let’s make a name for ourselves.” That is the Tower of Babel. Everyone under the Tower of Babel dies. It is a land of curse. God told Abraham to get out of there. We must help people come out. Simply put, they must come out from the authority of Satan and darkness. Most have not come out. That’s why there are no answers. It’s the same whether they go to church or not. There are none. It isn’t even pitiful.

But how do we come out? This is important. How do we come out? The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. That is when you come out. And what else? If you enter the ark, you live. And, deliver this fact quickly. “Go to the land I will show you.” That’s it. If you don’t know these three, the religious life won’t work even if you die trying. He didn’t say just go. Go quickly to deliver it. Go quickly and tell the people who are dying right now. If someone is about to collapse and die, how can you stay still while knowing it?

However, you cannot just go. You must let your son know this. You shouldn’t just let him know. You must absolutely imprint it. Then it’s over. You know the Gospel. However, it is not absolutely imprinted. Then our knowing the Gospel is the same as Satan knowing it. Satan knows very well that Jesus is the Christ. That’s why he keeps people from believing.

A friend I know had a mother who committed suicide when he was young. He saw this. This friend developed mental illness. When he sings, he only sings songs about mom. He can never escape. He needs to come out of that past, but there is no way. Then, this friend heard the name of Christ—which doesn’t move you at all—and was shocked. The problem is those who have attended church for a long time. There is no shock. He was shocked. The things that tormented him so much left him. Ah… is God playing a prank? No.

To test Abraham. He had to imprint the ram into this son. So He gave an extreme test. “Hey, go sacrifice your son.” What did he do? While going with the servants, he told them to stay down here. Why? Because if he took them, they would stop him, so he said stay here. While going, the son asks. “Father, the wood and fire are here, but why is there no lamb?” An important moment arrived. The moment to kill Isaac arrived. Isaac faced the moment of death. “A ram instead of you.” He would never forget that, right? It is making an absolute imprint.

There is someone I love very much who was a good student since childhood. He graduated from Seoul National University comfortably. He easily passed the bar exam. He became a judge early on. He was even a presiding judge. He became one of the top lawyers in Korea. He worked under the president. Then he passed away soon after. Because it was so hard. What a waste. Even so, he just lived as a servant to the world and then left. You cannot do world evangelization if you don’t know these three things.

These three must be absolutely imprinted. Then that’s it. From then on, even diseases are healed. If this is absolutely imprinted, from then on, strength slowly arises. Let’s see how that happens during the 2nd service today. It actually happens. From then on, spiritual problems start to disappear. Why? Because Christ has been absolutely imprinted. From then on, strength arises instead of spiritual problems. It’s true.

It’s hard to talk about. He was a famous tycoon who even served as the chairman of the Federation of Korean Industries. That family received the Gospel through Darakbang. They took me once to the neighborhood where tycoons live. They treated me to a meal. The older brother and the family had all gone crazy. While eating with me and the people who came with us, he suddenly ran away. They said the brother had gone crazy and was so anxious that he wouldn’t eat food given by others.

Do you know the average age of the kings who died in our country? It is under 45. They died after suffering to death.

Why must we be absolutely imprinted with Christ? There is a hidden reason. what is the hidden reason?

We must break the essence of darkness. Satan used 12 strategies and created everything. There is no power to overcome that except this. Satan does not fear your skills. He can collapse all your assets. He does not fear. He only fears Christ; that’s it. Only that word is scary. He is the King who broke the power of Satan. It’s scary.

He dug into the church. He collapsed the church with 5 strategies. Church leaders told Peter about the “atmosphere.” The church is not about atmosphere. It is the Word. If the atmosphere goes unbiblically, should we just follow it? When it’s not the Gospel. Even Peter spoke to Paul about “public opinion.” Before whether it was right or wrong, he spoke about public opinion. The church is not public opinion. It is the Gospel. That’s why it closed. Even now, they boast of the world. They love money even more. That’s why Satan is the king of this world, the ruler of this world. They love worldly things more than worldly people. Satan, the god of this world. It’s written. Rather, Satan is building a house inside you. You probably can’t even understand. When they heard those words, the Jews got angry. It was always repeated. Every time an age of church closings came. If it were only that, it would be okay.

We must block the culture of darkness, but the culture of darkness becomes the entire culture and the economy. That’s why politics gravitates there. Politicians have no power. They go where people gravitate. Right? They go where the votes are. What power do they have? The votes have power. You can’t trust them. They go where the votes are. Even in the past when there was no voting, they followed public opinion. But this is all the culture of darkness. Everyone follows. If it were only that, it would be okay.

Now this disease of darkness is coming. 40% are depression patients now. Over half will face the coming age of mental illness. The age of suicide. Why do people commit suicide? They don’t want to live; isn’t that it? And even kids. They say 75% are young adults and adolescents. People don’t even blink. There is no sensation. Even if you just preach the Gospel it would work, but there is no sensation. Do you commit suicide when you feel good? You do it when life is hard. But kids are saying they can’t live before they’ve even lived. I’m saying this is what the darkness does.

▣ Main

I will go into the body briefly.

1. Absolute Imprint (Genesis 22:1-13)

It is the absolute reason. The ram. A ram instead of the son. A ram instead of you. It is the method of “Only.” What is that?

In Genesis 3:15, it is the covenant that the offspring of the woman will crush the authority of the serpent, Satan.

If you just enter the ark, you live. There is no reason. You have many reasons, but God has no reason.

Ur of the Chaldeans where the Tower of Babel collapsed—leave it. Leave the source of the curse. That doesn’t mean just move houses. You must shatter that source of curse.

2. Absolute Answer (Genesis 22:14)

What is the second thing? Jehovah Jireh. It came out today. It is the Uniqueness blessing.

God prepared this blessing before the creation of the world. He gave this blessing to Isaac, Abraham, and you as grace. Saying it was given as grace means there is no merit to receive it.

John Calvin read the Bible and interpreted it in five sentences. What did he say? After these three events, all humans are perished. They cannot be saved. That’s right. What did he say second? There are no conditions to be saved. None. He saw it well. If you try to seek the Way alone, you go crazier. None. The more you practice self-discipline, the more you spin out. It doesn’t work. Monks, you must not be deceived. The more you do it, the harder it gets. He said there are no conditions for salvation. Third, he said this: Therefore, He sent Christ. He promised Christ. Salvation is only within Him. Fourth, he said this: No one can block this grace. Right. Fifth, what did he say? No one can perish those who are truly saved. Jehovah Jireh.

3. Absolute Missions (Genesis 22:15-18)

Today, third, do you know what the reason for the ram is? He said something amazing. “Through you, all nations will be blessed.” What does that mean? You must save those fallen into disaster. Go and tell them. You can’t do this if it isn’t absolutely imprinted. A person who almost died and lived knows what death is.

So, I want to request the evangelists teaching our Sunday school and middle/high school departments: it’s hard to experience it like Isaac did. But there are fields that are truly dying, right? You should look at the data once. You have to see it once. Have you ever gone to a mental hospital to evangelize? No, try staying with mental patients or those possessed by demons for about a week. The kids have never seen it. They haven’t even heard how powerful the name of Christ is. You must show them. You know the 5,000 tribes arising now? It’s gruesome. You have to show them that. There is data, so you must show them.

Isaac saw this. Ah, I almost died and lived. Why is it so? Why does He tell us to save all people? Because they are inside the organization of darkness. It doesn’t end there. Have you not experienced COVID? Darkness, a spiritual pandemic is circulating. He is telling you to go in the name of the King, Priest, and Prophet who overcame Satan. Works will happen.

▣ Conclusion

Before finishing the message, ask yourself a question internally. Don’t listen to people’s words; is God’s Word being fulfilled in me? You must ask. Stop worrying about other people’s business and ask if the Word is being fulfilled in me. Is the evangelism movement arising? Even if you succeed in everything, if it isn’t that, you are wrong. What we are thankful for now is that the doors to the President, the princess, and the 5,000 tribes are continuously opening. Looking at these people, they are the prepared ones. They came all the way here to hear the Gospel. Because it can’t be done in their country.

It doesn’t end there. Every time there was a crisis in the age, this blessing was delivered. To Moses, “On the day you apply the blood of the lamb, you will be liberated.” To Isaiah, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel.” “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” It is the name that makes darkness tremble. If there are people trembling with it, you must go together. It can’t be helped. Right? Because the name of Christ was testified, the Jews harbored evil. It is the same now. There are many who harbor evil just because you preach the Gospel. The Jews were so angry. They said don’t speak the name of Christ. Why is that? Who made them do it? They cursed Peter for preaching Christ. “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

What should you deliver to your children? You must imprint the absolute bartizan that never fails. Abraham did that today. It is not too late even now. Before our future generations go out, we must set up the absolute bartizan that never perishes. Because they do everything else but this. Jesus said this. It is the same as hanging a stone on children and dropping them in the water. Right? The Remnants sitting here are truly fortunate. There are many smart kids out there. They go out and suffer to death for a lifetime. Set up the absolute bartizan of the throne called Christ. Then, if it is absolutely imprinted, everything is resolved from then on. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing becomes yours. I will pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May the truth of God’s Christ come upon us. May life come upon us. Those who are dying in the midst of great difficulty are waiting. May our church open this door. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Preparations of the Remnant Economy

Prayer Journal: January 17, 2026
13.~17. Jan. 2025 World Youth Retreat, Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

▣ Introduction

You will become the protagonists of the three courtyards, and because there is evidence, you will become the protagonists of the three-day weekend age . You will become the protagonists of the holy meditation age, which is prayer. Therefore, you are laying the foundation right now toward eternity . You must contain a lot within yourselves now. What you do now remains for eternity . When you reach age 25, the brain stops. Therefore, language study must be completed before age 25. In reality, because the brain does not grow past age 25, it begins to break down from that point. Right now, you are laying a complete foundation. The Bible selection for this time is 2 Timothy 2:1-7; you are spiritual soldiers. The one who competes, the farmer—what is the characteristic of these three? They are people of 24. A soldier does not come and go as he pleases. An athlete practices 24; they do not do it on and off. A farmer is also 24. Now, in the midst of this, Lecture 1 was about Preparing for the Recovery of the Economy of Light. Yesterday, since you are people who will do world missions, it was called Preparing for the Missions Economy.

The final lecture is “Remnant Economy Preparation.” First, as we draw the picture from the first hour, you must be conscious of three things.

> RT’s Final Picture
> 3 Concentrations / 3 Settings / 3 Answers
> Remnant Economy 300%

1. You must draw the Remnant’s final picture. This final picture is grabbing hold of what must be done for almost a lifetime. Bill Gates grabbed it when he was a university student. Actually, he grabbed it even earlier. He grabbed it when he was about your age and completed it in his second year of university. He attended university until his second year and then dropped out to complete it, and he moved the world. A man named Jim Rogers, who visited Korea, said this: “I will retire at age 46.” His goal was to succeed before then. It actually happened. He decided that from age 46, he would serve the whole world; he came to Korea and took a North Korean defector girl as his secretary. It is because he intends to invest in North Korea. Therefore, if this picture is completed for you right now, the success rate is almost 100%. As you know, Fanny Crosby, who became blind, made her decision at your age. “I will prepare praises that save the whole world.” It truly happened. Currently, the most sung hymns in the hymnal are Crosby’s hymns. Someone like Anne Sullivan was hospitalized in a mental hospital. She was healed. Thus, she drew her life’s final picture. “I will devote my life to helping the mentally ill.” The figure she met there was Helen Keller. In this way, you are preparing your final picture right now.

2. Then this will emerge. If this emerges, likewise, you continue doing the same. You concentrate in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Then the setting takes place. You are already going while possessing the answers.

3. Therefore, you prepare the Remnant economy at 300%. 300% regarding myself, 300% regarding missions, and 300% regarding the Remnant economy—if you do this, you will surely triumph. Thus, if possible, keep seeing many things now; that is how you find your talent. Even so, if you do not pray, it is difficult to find. Because talent is sent from above, it is found even if you pray just a little. Therefore, start as soon as you go home after finishing the retreat today. This picture must be certain. I did not do this because I was sick. I did not do this because there was a special problem. I did this while dreaming a massive dream, the dream of world evangelization. Then it surely comes like this. When it comes like this, you just need to move. Some people move when they aren’t even 50% prepared. That fails. Some people move when they aren’t even 30% prepared. Some people hear others’ words and move when they aren’t even 10% prepared. Even if they succeed, problems come. This is the time for you to move. You must be 300% prepared before graduating school and going out. I will speak on this in a moment.

To do that, there are a few things to grab hold of quickly in the introduction.

1. Reading – The Word

Read books that give you strength. Reading many books is a loss. Read books that give strength. And find the answer through the Word. You must find the answer through the Word. Because it remains—because it remains in your brain—you must find the answer through the Word. It would be good to look at it every day.

2. Great Figures – Christ

You must study great figures. That is how your vessel grows. And you must definitely find the answer through the word “Christ.”

3. Feasts – The Three Feasts

Every nation has its own feasts. That is a tremendous culture. You must study this. You must study this regardless of which country you go to. You must catch the culture quickly. Meanwhile, we must always find the answer in the three feasts. Salvation is the Passover. Power is Pentecost. The background, the throne, is the Feast of Ingathering. You must always enjoy this.

4. Prayer – The Throne

Along with that, you must learn prayer. Prayer is nothing else; Jesus told us to pray for this. The Kingdom of God—this is the background you pray for and enjoy. The throne—this must become a bartizan for me. Will you have strength or not? You cannot help but have it. This becomes my journey; this becomes my guidepost ; this is how you go. So, while praying, I found the 7/7/7. In my case, for reference, once I start praying, I pray until I reach you, breathing slowly. That is how your brain comes alive. I breathe long breaths, and it is scientifically proven that the brain truly comes alive. Take note and you must do this. The brain comes alive dozens of times more than others. Tremendous wisdom also emerges. You must do this.

5. Talent – Only

Now, after this, the talent becomes visible to you. This is called “Only.” Find “Only” among talents that only you can do.

6. Specialization – Uniqueness

From this point, specialization emerges from you. This is called “Uniqueness.”

7. Globalization – Re-creation

Finally, you achieve globalization. It must be so; if you cannot achieve globalization, you cannot do anything. This is called “Re-creation.”
You must do it exactly like this. When the church opens the three-day weekend age , you must do this together in earnest. Right now, the more you hear, the more beneficial it is. That is how it helps you discover something. To put it simply, Bill Gates saw a monitor when he was young. A computer monitor—these were not common in the past. He saw it. It was firmly imprinted in him. Thus, he created content that moves the world. If this person had not seen the monitor, what would have happened? For you, even if you look, it’s just things at home, friends, school—you stay at that level. Since the internet exists now, go in and look a lot. There is no need for that now. In the past, I used to go to bookstores once in a while; I couldn’t buy all the books, right? I would scan them. By going frequently whenever I had time, I realized many things. “This is how things are going now.” About 10 years ago, when I looked at general interest books in the bookstore, almost all of them were New Age messages. If they don’t know, even pastors read those and preach. Eventually, they end up giving New Age messages. Thus, musicals, movies—they are almost all New Age messages. Didn’t I tell you before? While going to America, I went on the computer and looked into Michael Jackson. He is a complete New Age member. He doesn’t just sing songs. He does the dancing and singing very well, right? After doing that, something comes out. Later, it’s not a song. It’s a message. That is all New Age message. It’s great. It comes out in that way. As you see this, you must find the answer.

▣Main – Now, it might be a bit difficult, but you must know this.

1. The Remnant’s Reason

It is the Remnant’s reason.

1) Age – Great Powers

God called Remnants in every age. To where? He called Remnants to be sent to the great powers. Without exception, every time. If so, you should take the hint, right? You must take the hint as to why it must be 300%. You can look at it simply like this. In every age, He established Remnants and sent them. For you, there is hope in everything right now. No matter how much I pray, if the pastor in charge of youth suddenly came to me and said, “I want to become a soccer player,” I would discourage him. At that age, they wouldn’t even let him be a soccer player, but would it even work? However, if you say, “I will become a soccer player,” I can pray for you. Your advantage is that much of your time schedule remains. Even if there is no answer now, it is okay. Therefore, there is no need to be shaken at all. In some ways you should take note, but you can think that the house you are living in now is not your house. It is a target to be saved; you must think well. That is why all Remnants were sent here.

2) 7/7/7 – Synagogue (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)

While explaining the 7 bartizans /journeys/ guideposts , something always comes up. It is the synagogue. It targeted the Remnants. Every time. Thus, if they do not know this, even pastors will not know how precious your ministry is. The ministry you have done goes here. You just taught the children like this, but from among these Remnants, this emerges. These synagogue members became nomads and were scattered throughout the world, right? That became world evangelization. That is why Paul went there and found the answer. This is very important. Organize this and enter into prayer unconditionally from now on. What is more important is that even now, if you listen to the message while breathing and praying, it becomes tremendous. And when you do it in the morning, do it slowly and deeply. At night, since you usually don’t have to move, do it quietly and deeply. In the case of the daytime, you are currently sitting, but you must sit centered around your lower abdomen. Otherwise, you will just slouch. You might not know because you are young now, but slouching gives a tremendous blow. Then you look at your phone, right? You just look at the computer like that, right? You study like that, right? If you sit upright, it becomes completely different. Then your health is completely recovered, your body comes alive, your brain comes alive—everything comes alive. Take note; that is why people with great strength are said to have good “stomach power.” Strength is great; where did that energy start? It is here (lower abdomen). That is why it is called Dan-jeon breathing. You must do it this way.

3) Remnant Economy 300%

Along with that, prepare the Remnant economy 300%. Then it is over. What is 300%?
(1) Specialization – Your specialization 100%, if possible, finance, then bio-engineering, brain science, and then mainly toward media. Everything is done through media. You won’t have to go anywhere. Thus, judges who keep doing strange things—they won’t be needed in the future. Because AI will do it. So I hope the age where judges disappear comes quickly, because they keep acting strangely. An age where you don’t have to go, you won’t even go to the bank. That kind of age is coming. You won’t even go to the hospital for the most part. If you enter, contact comes, everything comes. You know what you need to prepare, right? One thing that has never disappeared from the past until now is finance. Study finance separately. If possible, Jews at your age are all doing stock investments. Originally, the Jews lost their country and were scattered for 2,000 years, right? What did they do? They did the finance business. Take note; mostly now it goes toward science, specifically brain science, life, or bio. For example, coins—what is the most famous coin? Bitcoin. About one-fourth of this coin remains now. Everything else was sold, and in the meantime, it went up tens of thousands of times. The people holding it gained tens of trillions in assets. One-fourth remains; what will happen when it’s all sold? It goes up more. It is that kind of age. With coins you can’t see, the money goes up and everyone does that. You don’t earn money and bring it; if you just send it, it all goes.

(2) Field Capability – Therefore, you grow 100% of your specialization through prayer, and then it is field capability. This field capability is almost all media, then global—it goes like that. If you cannot see “global” like that, it won’t work. It’s okay for your parents, but not for you. That is why I say pray.

(3) Future Capability – The rest is future capability. These three are the 300%. How should we look at the future? It seems like it starts from the 3 organizations. It is healing. Mainly this (brain) healing—because it goes in this direction, Remnants must think about the messages they heard while praying.

2. The Time Schedule of the 0.1%

This is the second phrase. There are things only 0.1% of people knew. Especially in the Bible, the 0.1% who moved the world knew this.

1) Matthew 16:16, 20, Acts 1:3-8

In Matthew 16:16, when he confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus blessed him greatly. And in verse 20, He told them not to tell anyone. It’s something that should be told, but He said don’t. Then in Acts 1:3, He explained this for 40 days. And then He said go to the ends of the earth. Now, here He said don’t go, and here He said go. You must catch this quickly. Over here, only disciples were gathered. Before this, disciples and the crowd were together. In the future, the crowd will not survive in the church. You must reach a firm conclusion around now. You must be called a disciple; the crowd cannot survive. The crowds of this age will unconditionally die. You must become a disciple with the answer. The three terms that came from here are (1) Calvary, (2) Mt Olive , and (3) Mark’s Upper Room, right? If you haven’t experienced these, should you go? It already came out in the praise you just sang, right? It’s all finished. Already. Then, He gave a massive message after His resurrection. “I have all authority in heaven and on earth, and I will be with you.” He requested one thing. “Go and make disciples.” Not the crowd. “Make disciples.” From now on, don’t just try to do evangelism. Then it’s hard. You must think that there might be a prepared disciple next to you. Then those people will see your face and find you. You will meeting them. It is so even with friends. Then they are bound to bring out their own things. Speak then. Disciples. And He also spoke like this: After resurrecting, “In my name, cast out demons and lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” What is that? Healing. Then after resurrecting, in John 21:15-18, He said to feed the lambs. What is that? Remnants. After His resurrection. And on Mt Olive , if you miss this message, you cannot receive answers. He said there’s no need to pray for this or that. He explained about the Kingdom of God for 40 days. He explained this for 40 days. The throne’s bartizan /journey/ guidepost —you only need to pray for this. Then He will add all things to you. So, what is the most important thing here? Grabbing a certain mission. This is it.
After grabbing the final picture, he continued concentration. Then it becomes like this. You will unconditionally succeed. If you don’t have this, you will unconditionally fail. Life is hard. If you just want to barely eat and live, you don’t need to do anything. Just stay still. Because our country will develop in the future, the state will give you food. You can just stay still. But we are not like that, right? we must save the world. On Mt Olive , he grabbed a certain mission. He grabbed the mission of the age. This is it. Then in Mark’s Upper Room, what is it? He experienced it. The three feasts—when the day of Pentecost had already come, all nations appeared there. “They will prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions”—the future came out, right? The future comes as an answer. There is no reason to hesitate. If you feel hesitant, don’t do it. It’s coming. And this will come exactly before you. You cannot help but live well. Living is not the problem. Those things are not a problem. For adults, living is the problem, right? Why is that? Because they didn’t have this—300% regarding me and 300% regarding missions was not done, and even this was not done. That is why your parents suffered so much. Because they didn’t hear the message. And even if they succeed a little, how much do they suffer? It’s hard to take the bar exam. He took the bar exam and became a judge. How much salary does he get now? Not even 8 million won. You can’t do world missions with that. How do you do world missions? It’s hard enough to eat… raising children is also hard…

2) Acts 11:1-18, 11:19-30

This is the second thing the 0.1% did. This part. They were from Mark’s Upper Room, but when Peter came to Cornelius’s house to preach the Gospel, they made an issue of it. Perhaps because of that, God moved the lampstand to the Antioch church. He moved the lampstand of world evangelization. What this means is that when you go to church, you mostly hear useless talk. Understand? Make it a prayer topic, but do not put it in your head. Your parents’ words—make them a prayer topic, but do not put them in your head. Why? They do not know about your things. Even teachers teach past knowledge; they do not know about your things. Then you should make that a prayer topic, but do not put it in your head. A tremendous time schedule comes out from here.
(1) Acts 13:1-12, to Asia; a tremendous thing happens here. As soon as he goes, he breaks the forces of darkness.
(2) Acts 14:14-20, this is Lystra. He went to Lystra, and there Paul was stoned and almost died but lived. There he meets a prepared family. Who is it? Timothy’s family.
(3) Acts 16:6-40, the door of evangelism was blocked so he went to Macedonia; there he meets Lydia. More importantly, he solves the Nephilim problem that cannot be solved by the age. You must understand well. Because this is the path you are going.
(4) Acts 17:1-9, he goes to Thessalonica. There is a synagogue there. He explained the necessity of Christ; where is this? It is a country that has a highway leading to Rome. Uniquely, everyone else became a colony of Rome, but this country did not. Paul concentrated there.
(5) Acts 18:1-4, here he meets the Priscilla couple. Paul and the Priscilla couple met, and a tremendous work starts here. Now, I am talking about the blessings you must receive.

3) Romans 16:25-27

Also, there are people whose eyes were opened to the 0.1%. It is Romans 16:25-27. He says He will give what was hidden. Right? He says He will give you what was hidden. This is the Remnant economy; to whom was it given?
(1) 237/5000 Tribes – To the person going to Rome. What is in Rome? The 237 and 5000 tribes are there. That is why He sent the Remnant to Egypt. That is why He sent them to Babylon. That is why to Rome—you should take the hint.
(2) Paul (Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24) – So God used Paul. Who is the person who understood this? It is Paul. “I must also see Rome”—meaning I must see the 237 and 5000 tribes. God quoted this. “Take courage, you must testify in Rome.” God sent the messenger of the Lord and said, “Paul, do not be afraid, you must stand before Caesar.” Caesar is the name of the Roman Emperor. Got it?
(3) Romans chapter 16 – Here, God used the people of Romans chapter 16 who understood these words. Your parents are currently playing this role. Now you are going here. God will give you that kind of skill. Got it?

3. Diaspora

The last phrase—you must know the word Diaspora. The words you must know: Remnant, the person within the 0.1% time schedule, Diaspora…

1) The Scattered Ones
2) Pilgrims
3) Remnant

This word means the scattered ones. In some Bibles, it says pilgrims. These words combined are called Remnant. You must know this. This is the path you must go. If you go this way, answers unconditionally come. 300%—don’t worry at all. It’s visible even before you go. You should practice a bit now. If it’s troublesome, don’t do it. if it’s ambiguous, don’t do it. That is called waiting. It’s not just waiting, but waiting while enjoying. When it becomes exactly like this, you move. If this has already come, it’s easy. Since you will receive this kind of answer, don’t listen to useless chatter and grab the covenant firmly.

Conclusion: The Remaining One (Gospel), The One Who Remains (300%), The One Who Will Remain (Culture), The One Who Will Leave Behind (Future Generations)

The person who knows this answer is called the remaining one. You heard Lectures 1, 2, and 3 (New Year) this time, right? That person is called the one who knows the Gospel. If you don’t know Lectures 1, 2, and 3, you are one who doesn’t know the Gospel. Even the devil knows that Jesus is the Christ. Because he knows, he prevents people from hearing. You become the remaining one. The phrase “the one who remains” means the one with this 300% power. This is the one who remains; if you don’t have this strength, you cannot survive. You must possess what God has given. These people change the culture. The one who will remain—they change the culture. Because they have strength, you also save the future generations. The one who will leave behind—you must keep this in mind. This is now the blessing you will receive.
You must always think about this retreat. In summary, you must always be in prayer. Then, works will happen in your studies, in the future field, and in the future. From today, you don’t need to worry even as much as a fingernail. You will become witnesses. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the works of the Holy Spirit be upon the Remnants who will save the world, from now and through eternity . Amen.

Like the Prayer of Elijah

James 5:13-18. Is anyone among you in trouble? Let them pray. Is anyone happy? Let them sing songs of praise. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

17 Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

Our world today closely resembles the time of Elijah. We live in an age of spiritual ignorance and confusion, where many things have fallen apart. People are driven by idols—religions, economies, cultures, and ideologies—while remaining unaware of the deeper reality at work behind them. Scripture reminds us that behind the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world stand spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).

Whenever the gospel is proclaimed, persecution follows. Living a godly life in this crooked and twisted generation is never easy. In every sphere of life—family, work, culture, and even the church—we are facing an unprecedented spiritual battle. That is why we must receive strength that overcomes the world, and that strength comes through prayer from the throne of the Triune God.

If you are a child of God, you possess the right to come before your Father in prayer. He has promised to fill you with power from above so that you may stand firm in spiritual conflict and not be overwhelmed by the schemes of the evil one. For this reason, God encourages us in Today’s Word to pray like Elijah.

Who was Elijah? He was a prophet fiercely opposed and relentlessly persecuted by King Ahab and Queen Jezebel. Yet he stood unshaken as a man of God. On Mount Carmel, Elijah confronted and defeated the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 prophets of Asherah, all supported by Jezebel (1 Kings 18:16–40). His prayer exposed falsehood, restored truth, and revealed the living God before an entire nation.

Elijah’s prayer even affected nature itself. When he prayed that it would not rain, the heavens were shut for three and a half years. When he prayed again, the rain returned, and the land produced its crops (James 5:17–18). In moments of deep discouragement and danger, God sent His angel to strengthen Elijah and led him to Mount Horeb, where He revealed His sovereign plan for the future (1 Kings 19:1–21).

The God who answered Elijah still answers prayer today. Do not be discouraged when answers seem delayed. Do not be shaken by the turmoil of the world. Ask for strength from above—strength that transcends circumstances and restores clarity, courage, and peace.

Elijah was a human being just like us, subject to weakness and fear. Yet his prayer changed the course of history. Through Christ, God has declared you righteous, and therefore your prayers are also powerful and effective. Never underestimate what God can do through a praying believer.

Consider Joseph. When he stood before Pharaoh, it was not his intellect that stood out, but the presence of the Spirit of God within him. Pharaoh himself testified, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:38–39). The world recognized that Joseph’s wisdom came from God. In the same way, when the Holy Spirit empowers you, your life will testify that Jesus is the Christ.

David turned seasons of loneliness and hardship into prayer. In the darkest moments of his life, he confessed, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing” (Psalm 23:1). God used those hidden years to prepare David as a leader who shepherded His people with integrity of heart and skillful hands (Psalm 78:70–72). When God’s time came, the Spirit of the Lord rushed upon him with power (1 Samuel 16:13).

Elisha, an ordinary farmer, received a double portion of Elijah’s spirit and became an instrument through whom God preserved two nations, Israel and Aram (2 Kings 2:9; 6:8–23). God used him not only to perform miracles but also to raise the next generation of leaders. Prayer prepared him for a life that influenced history.

The same God strengthens us today by His grace in Christ Jesus. With that strength, we are called to entrust the gospel to faithful people who will teach others also (2 Timothy 2:1–2). This multiplication of faith and prayer is God’s strategy for transforming the world.

Before ascending to heaven, our Lord Jesus promised this power: “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses … to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). This power is not optional—it is essential. It is the only power that can truly change lives, communities, and nations.

As we pray, we learn to welcome trials with joy, knowing that the testing of our faith produces perseverance, maturity, and completeness (James 1:2–4). Prayer shapes us into the people God desires us to be.

Therefore, let us not merely listen to the Word but put it into practice. Listening without acting is merely lying to yourself (James 1:22–27). Let us also guard our speech, for the tongue has the power to direct our lives toward blessing or destruction (James 3:2–6).

Finally, let us turn away from the ways of this world—quarreling, jealousy, pride, and selfish ambition. Friendship with the world leads to enmity with God. Instead, let us submit ourselves to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from us (James 4:1–12).

Our lives are fragile and brief, like a mist that appears for a moment and then vanishes. Therefore, let us live in surrender, saying, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that” (James 4:13–17).

Are you in trouble? Do not worry—pray. Are you joyful? Sing songs of praise. Are you sick? Let the church pray over you in faith, trusting the healing and restoring work of the Holy Spirit (James 5:13–16).

Take time today to be alone with God. As you pray and enjoy the gospel, the Word will come alive, and the Spirit will reveal divine mysteries. When you pray in faith, you will see spiritual answers unfold in your life. When you pray with awareness of the kingdom of God, the forces of darkness will collapse in your mission field.

Begin the prayer of Elijah today. God will strengthen you, give you wisdom, and reveal what is to come. He will empower you to stand firm in this generation and beyond.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see this age of idolatry and confusion. Fill me with Your strength so that I may stand firm against the schemes of the devil and live as Your witness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
