– Bartizan of the 3-day Weekend Age 62 –
「The First Bartizan of the 3-Day Weekend Age and the Result」
(Ge 37:1-11)


Ahead of an important conference, our industrialists and church officers must prepare through prayer. How do you establish 1,000 bartizans? However, Joseph established them even by himself.

▣ Introduction_ Joseph
Joseph established things exceeding 1,000 bartizans by himself. Joseph possessed an important covenant.

1. Prayer 300% [Friday-Saturday-Sunday Important Meeting]
Already in childhood, 300% regarding prayer was prepared. If so, what should church officer industrialists do around this time? It is okay to do it every week, but one must have an important meeting using Friday-Saturday-Sunday, right? And because this worked for Joseph—

2. Answer in Advance
He went carrying the answer in advance. In the eyes of others, it looked like great suffering, but for Joseph, it was the answer in advance. Therefore, all church officer industrialists and all leaders should not try to do things grandly during this opportunity, but first while having Friday-Saturday-Sunday meetings, there must be forums and testimonies regarding important prayer.

Life, Rhythm, Strength, Happiness – 3 Concentrations
Even now, answers are important, but prayer must completely occupy the lives of our church officer industrialists. This prayer must completely become my rhythm. This must become a very important time where you all recover strength every day. This time must be very happy. To do that, what must you talk about when you gather on Friday-Saturday-Sunday? It is enough even if you only talk about the 3 Concentrations properly. So you all [say], “I do the 3 Concentrations in this way.” Right now it looks simple, but this changes a great fate. The things you are thinking right now connect directly to life and become your fate. People do not think about that at all. No matter what anyone says, God answers, but because the subject of the answer is you, your thoughts are important. Therefore, what is this? It is not the past. It is not the future. It is today. It is now. I always like enjoying the answer today, right now. There are times when there are too many difficulties, right? Even then, right now I must obtain strength. You are offering worship, aren’t you? During worship time, you must obtain strength. For what reason do you think about the future that hasn’t even come? While doing it, this (answer in advance) comes out. Originally, Joseph was doing this. While talking about this, the brothers tried to kill him, didn’t they? The fact that Joseph possessed this in advance. Then what kind of thing must we possess and give?

Healing 300%
When we look around us, we forum and prepare for Healing 300% like Joseph. So prepare such things, talk to people you meet, report to missionaries, and do it this way. Missionaries feel it. But without this answer, one cannot do missions in the mission field. If this answer is there, it is easy. Look at us now. Every place where we are connecting multi-ethnic people while praying now, the same history occurs. Those people must be able to do Prayer 300%, and must be able to do this (Healing) 300%. What is more important?

3. Governor – After – Missions 300%
The Remnant Joseph became governor. He did not try to become governor. He became governor. For us, so to speak, what is it? Every work has an “after,” but after the Missions Conference, how do we do? We must prepare for this. This also, for Joseph, in the “after” is completely Missions 300%. The whole family came alive, right? Egypt came alive, right? The whole world comes to buy rice, right? I’m telling you, it’s what God brought about. That is Missions 300%. I’m telling you, you are already within this blessing! You are within this blessing right now. What a thankful thing it is. Therefore, only when that faith of believing right now is connected does history occur. People do not know science well and do not know spiritual science well. When you receive stress, the immunity of the whole body drops. If you keep receiving stress, the cancer cells in the whole body exert strength. It is science. When you obtain the strength of prayer, everything comes alive. So what is the prayer among prayers? It is “now.” That is the prayer among prayers. How important is this worship—you pray while enjoying that. What kind of answer comes? It is none of my business.

It is the end. It is the grace Joseph received, but this was received completely by grace.

「The First Bartizan of Friday-Saturday-Sunday and the Results」
Well then, this Joseph—ultimately the answer and bartizan he gives us is what you must seize—surely save the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. It must surely be saved. I see it that Joseph made the first bartizan at this time. Take a look at this result.

▣ Main Body

1. Genesis 37:11 [Prayer Camp]
It is Genesis 37:11. I call this a Prayer Camp. A Prayer Camp on Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

2. Genesis 39:1-6 [Field Camp]
Genesis 39:1-6, it looks like he went as a slave, but that is a Field Camp. Right? He receives the answer exactly as it is.

3. Genesis 40:1-23 [Incident Camp]
He was falsely accused and went to prison again? It is a very important Incident Camp. Your entire life is a camp.

4. Genesis 41:38 [Answer Camp]
Consequently, he met the king again? Literally, this is an Answer Camp that is the opposite. Joseph’s entire life was a camp. Is it only Joseph? Our entire lives are camps. The fortunate thing is that Joseph thought that way. If you also think that way, you receive the same answer.

5. Genesis 45:1-5 [After Camp]
Finally, he became governor. From this time, the “After Camp” I mentioned earlier takes place in earnest. Our church officer industrialists must absolutely receive the answer to become witnesses in the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era.

Yesterday is important, but that is a stepping stone (bal-pan). The future is important. God has prepared that. The most key to the blessing of yesterday and today is today. Today is extremely important. So Joseph received prayer answers there when the family was in difficulty; when he went to Potiphar’s house, it became a field of blessing to learn complete management and economics; when he went to prison, it became a field to do complete political study. It becomes like this.

▣ Conclusion_ Evidence of 3 Todays
Well then, we need the evidence of the 3 Todays. To what extent is God fulfilling the Word today? Today’s prayer— what kind of prayer must I enjoy? Today’s evangelism—what kind of thing must I enjoy? It is this. Within this, the past and future are all included. Therefore, while worshipping today and tomorrow, you must obtain the strength where your root is recovered. Therefore, you prayed all day today and tomorrow, and the strength God gives must cause such a history of saving you. I bless in the name of Jesus Christ that it becomes a new start of obtaining new strength for all church officer industrialists.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit who works now, be upon all of God’s people, upon church officers, and especially upon industrialists who enjoy the future to be fulfilled right now, from now until forevermore. Amen.

Hymn
Down at the Cross 
E. A. Hoffman 

Down at the cross where my Savior died,
Down where for cleansing from sin I cried,
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!

Glory to his name,
Glory to his name;
There to my heart was the blood applied;
Glory to his name!

I am so wondrously saved from sin,
Jesus so sweetly abides within;
There at the cross where he took me in;
Glory to his name! Refrain

Oh, precious fountain that saves from sin,
I am so glad I have entered in;
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean;
Glory to his name! Refrain

Come to this fountain so rich and sweet,
Cast thy poor soul at the Savior’s feet;
Plunge in today, and be made complete;
Glory to his name! Refrain


Scripture Reading
Genesis 7:1-24

The Lord then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation. Take with you seven pairs of every kind of clean animal, a male and its mate, and one pair of every kind of unclean animal, a male and its mate, and also seven pairs of every kind of bird, male and female, to keep their various kinds alive throughout the earth. Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living creature I have made.”

And Noah did all that the Lord commanded him.

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.


Hymn
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Reginald Heber

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea.
Cherubim and seraphim, falling down before thee,
Who was and is and evermore shall be.

Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.

Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty!
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.


Responsive Reading
Hebrews 11

Leader: Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
People: This is what the ancients were commended for.

Leader: By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command,
People: so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Leader: By faith Abel brought God a better offering than Cain did. By faith he was commended as righteous,
People: when God spoke well of his offerings. And by faith Abel still speaks, even though he is dead.

Leader: By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”
People: For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

Leader: And without faith it is impossible to please God,
People: because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.

Scripture Reading
Mark 16:15-20
Binh Vo

He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


Message
The Authority Given by the Resurrected Christ
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

1. The resurrected Christ gave authority, but people do not know well what authority is and are using it incorrectly.

2. Standard for receiving answers today – If I change myself into a worshiper, my eyes are opened. That is using authority correctly.
1) Joseph’s brothers
2) King Saul
3) Potiphar and his wife
4) John Bunyan

3. Asking about God’s plan is the way of using authority correctly, and waiting until God makes it known is prayer.

▣ Introduction: Things to know first
1. The authority of that name – Jesus Christ solved everything.
1) The authority that fulfills Genesis 3:15 – “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.”
2) Exodus 3:18 “Go to offer a blood sacrifice.”
3) Isaiah 7:14 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call his name Immanuel.”
4) We use this as ambassadors of Christ.

2. Authority given from above is different from qualifications or abilities.
1) Regardless of my ability, it is the authority given to the saved ones and evangelism disciples.
2) Authority appears when it is used.

3. It is the name that Satan fears, the name that darkness fears, and the name that makes disasters fall.

▣ Main: The authority promised by Christ
1. Drive out demons in My name.
1) Why? The world is seized by shamanism, superstition, idols, and meditation.
2) Authority given from the time of calling – “To be with them and also to send them out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.”
3) Not just driving them out, but bind them completely.
4) In Jesus’ name, heal those who are seized by demons and those who have fallen into darkness.

2. In My name, you will place your hands on the sick, and they will be healed. Why does the disease get better when praying in the name of Christ?
1) Because the spiritual fundamental is solved.
2) Because the root cause is healed.
3) Fundamental strength must be restored.

3. The authority of Immanuel (God with us) through the power of the Throne
1) “Pick up snakes” – “I will protect you. I will give you the authority to pick up the authority of darkness.”
2) “Even if you drink any poison, you will not die” – “I will protect you from the Throne.”
3) You must be able to use authority correctly, like David who:
(1) Prepared 1,000 bartizans and the temple to save the world and then left.
(2) Did not kill Saul because he was a servant established by God’s anointing.
(3) Did not kill Absalom, who started a rebellion.
(4) Did not kill Shimei, who cursed him.

▣ Conclusion
1. Bartizan – Enjoy the status of the Throne every day.
2. Journey – Enjoy the authority of the Throne every day.
3. Guidepost – Leave behind the legacy of the Throne.

▷ Confirm this every day and enjoy it every day. From here, the strength to conquer the world will appear. Ask every day: “Do I have the path and evidence of the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost?” I must be within God’s work of salvation, prayer answers, and Word fulfillment.

Hymn
People of the Covenant
Lee Jang-Hee

Even though I am very weak
God is perfect, God is complete
And though time and again I may fall
He will raise me up again

We’re the people of His Covenant
He is forever with us
Our God works in our lives through His Spirit
In every step we take

No one can ever block the Word of Life
No one can cast aside the Word of God
The gospel of our Lord will be fulfilled
In the name of Jesus Christ

The gospel will be proclaimed
We’re the people of His Covenant
Proclaimed to the very ends of the earth
In every step we take


Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.


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

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

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

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

Evangelism and the Power of the Holy Spirit

Acts 1:8. 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.


The Holy Spirit lives in those who believe that Jesus is the Christ (John 14:16; John 14:26). This is not a temporary presence but an eternal indwelling—God Himself dwelling within His people. But to whom does the Holy Spirit work most powerfully?

Jesus answers that question in Today’s Word. The Holy Spirit works most powerfully in the lives of Christ’s witnesses, filling them with power from above and enabling them to testify to the gospel. Evangelism and the work of the Holy Spirit are inseparable. Where the gospel is proclaimed, the Holy Spirit is at work; and where the Holy Spirit is at work, the gospel is proclaimed.

What, then, is the filling of the Holy Spirit? To be filled with the Holy Spirit means that nothing else ultimately governs or controls our spirit, soul, heart, and mind. By nature, we are filled with what has been deeply imprinted in us—our past experiences, wounds, habits, and ways of thinking. These things take root and shape our nature. But when the Holy Spirit works in us, He gradually replaces these with the things of God—His truth, His perspective, and His desires.

First, the Holy Spirit fills us with the Word and the gospel. He reminds us of the Word, teaches us the Word, and leads us according to the Word. He heals our hearts and minds through the power of the Word and brings to life what once felt distant or merely intellectual.

Life as a child of God is therefore easy, light, and powerful (Matthew 11:28–30)—not because circumstances are always easy, but because the Holy Spirit carries the true burden. This life has the highest value in the sight of God because it is sustained and directed by Him.

How, then, does the Holy Spirit work in the lives of Christ’s witnesses? When we follow the Great Commission Jesus has given us, we experience the greatest blessing of all—His constant presence:

Then Jesus came to them and said, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age’” (Matthew 28:18–20).

As we take the gospel into the field, the Lord Himself works with us:

“After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it” (Mk 16:19-20).

When our life itself becomes evangelism, the Holy Spirit gives us, day after day, undeniable evidence of His power so that we may boldly speak what we have seen and heard (Acts 1:8). Evangelism is no longer a task we carry out occasionally, but the natural expression of a life filled with the Spirit and centered on Christ.

Evangelism is not something we merely do; it is the fulfillment of the Word (Acts 2:13–36). It unfolds according to God’s timing and sovereignty—it is His appointed time for salvation:

When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord; and all who were appointed for eternal life believed” (Acts 13:48).

This is why prayer is so essential in evangelism. Through prayer, we engage in the true spiritual battle. We pray for the kingdom of darkness to be broken in the lives of those who do not yet believe. We pray to become sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit in every encounter. We pray that the Holy Spirit will enable us to speak the gospel with clarity, wisdom, and boldness, even when we face opposition to the Way.

You are a child of God. Restore each day the joy and the worth of your salvation. Do not let it become routine or religious. Continually discover Christ in the Word, and make knowing and experiencing the joy of the Lord and the power of Christ the highest priority in your life.

Learn to see the world through a spiritual lens. Behind visible problems lies a deeper spiritual need—the absolute need for the gospel. Therefore, ask for wisdom from above so that you may live carefully and intentionally, not as unwise but as wise. Make the most of every opportunity to do good and to share the gospel, because these are evil times (Ephesians 5:15–16).

The only way to overcome our weaknesses, the pressures of the world, and the attacks of Satan is to be filled with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 5:18). This is not automatic—we must seek it and ask for it by faith, continually depending on Him.

In all circumstances, hold to and experience the confession that “Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16). Let Him guide and govern your life. Make Christ the Lord of your life, just as Paul confessed:

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me” (Galatians 2:20).

Always remain aware of the presence of the Holy Spirit within you. Yield to Him daily, seeking His will rather than your own. Do not rely on your own standards or judgments when you see people, because the Holy Spirit—who transcends time and space—can work in unexpected people, in unexpected places, at unexpected times.

You are an evangelist for this age, prepared by God long before time. He will take full responsibility for your life. Therefore, do not be anxious about anything. Stand in faith, knowing that nothing can ultimately harm you under His sovereign care.

God will establish His church upon the foundation of your confession of faith in Christ Jesus, and the kingdom of Satan will not be able to overcome it (Matthew 16:18). God will also release the authority and power of His throne to accomplish His will—bringing salvation to lives (Matthew 16:19).


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the power of Your Holy Spirit at work within me. Open my eyes to see the fields ready for harvest and give me boldness to proclaim the gospel. Lead me by Your Spirit each day so that my life may become a testimony of Christ. Send me to the ends of the earth to bear witness for Him. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

24 Missions Disciple 24

Prayer Journal: April 18, 2026
April 23-24, 2025 The 28th World Missions Convention Camp Training, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:3


♠ Introduction

Thank you. Since God has prepared everything for this theme, you must be able to see this (World Turning Point). He has prepared all of this. The key you must find is this: Turning Point. Even when we walk on a road, when the road divides, we must know the road we have to go, don’t we? Among these turning points, a very large one was this: the Antioch Church (Acts 11:19). For the past 30 years, we have spoken of “Only Gospel.” A more important word within the phrase “Only Gospel” is the Raw (Wonsaek) Gospel. If there are other colors, it absolutely will not do. [Without] the raw Gospel, it will crumble someday. Raw Gospel—and so now, after 30 years have passed, for us it is “Only Missions,” and the answer there is Raw Revival. What missionaries must remember is that the believers are “enduring.” Looking at them individually, they are receiving almost no answers. It shouldn’t be like that, right? Korea is a bit better, but in the powerful nations throughout the world, churches have closed their doors. Practically, the country that is performing missions is Korea, but even in Korea, half are non-self-supporting. Even the individual church officers are receiving almost no answers. We must change this, you see. If they do not receive answers, they have no strength. When do they fall into trials (si-heom)? They don’t fall into trials because a problem arises. If they have no strength, they fall into trials. When are they shaken? They aren’t shaken because it is difficult. If I have no strength, I am shaken. And the church must come alive, but if it doesn’t, they fall into trials. Therefore, these three [lectures of] training are extremely important. Why is that?

Theme: The Prepared World Turning Point (Acts 11:19)
Lecture 1: 24 Missions Disciple
3 Flows—Point (Me), 777, Reproduction

The 28th World Missions Conference Training Lecture 1: “24 Missions Disciple” → 3 Flows (Point is Me) + 777 + Reproduction
Today’s Lecture 1 theme is the 24 Missions Disciple. What does the phrase “24 Missions Disciple” mean? Missionaries must absolutely remember this.

① 3 Flows (Point is Me): God is performing three works from long ages past until eternity. He is fulfilling the Word. Right? He is answering prayer. Also, He is achieving the work of salvation. Simply put, He is unceasingly performing the evangelism movement. These three are everything. I am within this flow. This is a disciple. Because answers keep coming to a person within this flow, no matter how much you do wrong, you are not shaken. A person who cannot ride this flow will be shaken no matter how well you treat them. More importantly, there is a point to the 3 flows. When you discover “Me” within this, history begins. I testify honestly. While prayer, the Word, and evangelism are being achieved, from the day I confirmed where I was, answers came. But there is no need to embellish it even a little bit. In the past, when I was a young adult, I knew that I was unable to pray. Now, the Word is a complete navigation for me, but at that time, the phrase “living Word” had nothing to do with me. And in the past, evangelism was too difficult. Also, because of my personality, I am very shy, so evangelism is even more difficult. I realized that. “Ah, I am excluded within these three”—I knew this. That was 40 years ago. It’s a big problem, right? I am a person excluded from Word fulfillment, prayer answers, and the evangelism movement. That was my point. An amazing thing—from that time, answers began to come. I received an immense amount of blessings regarding prayer. Everywhere I went for evangelism, the work of life took place. The Word is a complete sketch map for me. Acts, this especially is a complete guidepost. One must be within this. Right? This is called a 24 disciple. How can I unceasingly do only prayer for 24 hours? Isn’t it so? You can’t recite the Word for 24 hours, can you? Therefore, I am exactly within the flow where this is being fulfilled.

② 777: And more importantly, having thrown away all the unnecessary people, what is the Word given to the “real” ones? In the past, the people who received healing all ran away. The people who were fed bread at the five loaves and two fish all ran away. The people who were moved by seeing Jesus’ miracles all left. It is the Word given when only the real ones gathered. That is the Mount Olivet Mission. He explained regarding the Kingdom of God for 40 days—this is the big turning point. One must see this. He made known the 7 Bartizans, 7 Journeys, and Guideposts. Right? One comes to see this. This is the 24 disciple. Not just anyone sees this. Only the disciples attached to you missionaries who will truly preach the Gospel see it.

③ Reproduction: Then, though left alone, reproduction unceasingly occurs. This is the 24 disciple. I will speak about it during the Missions Conference, but you went to a mission field once and came back after praying for the missionary once—what kind of mission is that? It is not missions. One must do 24 regarding one nation. Right? Because 24 is this (24), no one can stop it. If you understand this Word today, revival will surely begin. Many people are creating limits saying just “it won’t work.” You must transcend. The blessing that is in you is immense, I tell you. Only then do you save the world. He surely worked so that you save the world, I’m telling you. “Go to all nations”—it is an impossible story. But if you look at the before and after, it is understood. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me,” and “I will be with you always, to the very end of the age”—He spoke that story, I’m telling you.

▣ Introduction—People who saw 24
If so, because you must quickly draw a picture in your mind, these are the people who saw 24.

1) Genesis 13:14-18: In the past, no matter how much, how much [he tried] to live according to the Word, answers did not come. It would be fine if only answers didn’t come, but pain came; it would be okay even with pain, but a crisis of death approached. One day, he saw it. It is Abraham. After Lot had left Abram—from that time, [God said] “Look as far as you can see to the north and south, the east and west,” “Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land,” “I will give it to you and your offspring forever.” He began to build an altar. From that time, history began to occur. 24—he saw this.
2) Genesis 37:1-11: I am speaking of the evidence now. The people who saw 24 caused history. It is Joseph. He already clearly showed what world evangelization is. Now, the dimension is different from the brothers. For Joseph, everything now changes into answers in every place. He already saw this (24). Therefore, because God hid such disciples in the mission regions, now your time schedule is to find them out. In fact, if you find just one, it’s over. They save that entire region. Disciples who can help the missionary must arise. A “disciple” who says they cannot live without the missionary’s help is not a disciple. Right? “How will I help that missionary to perform world evangelization?” Such a disciple must arise. It’s enough to receive this answer. It is an immense answer. Even now, you are receiving the most important answer of the God who works. It is an immense background. It is the background of the Throne. He intends to achieve re-creation and reproduction with this. You must show this. Amazing things will happen.
3) Exodus 2:1-10: One day, she saw it. Jochebed. She saw 24. She saw what she had to stake her 24-hour life on. “I must send Moses to the palace,” “I must plant the Gospel and send him”—having done that, she did 24. What kind of work happened? I mean, this is an easy work, but what kind of work happened? This Moses grew up and overturned Egypt.
4) Exodus 3:18-20: Finally, although he received it from the mother, he did not realize. In the year he turned 80, [God said] “Go to offer a blood sacrifice,” “Speak to King Pharaoh,” “Speak to the people of Israel,” “Speak to the elders,” “Say my people are going out to offer a blood sacrifice,” “I will be with you with a mighty hand,” “that will be the sign,” “I am Jehovah.” From this time, history occurred. No matter how much he struggled for 80 years, the answer did not come. But from this time, [God] began to work. Finally, he saw 24.
5) 12 Regions: Take a good look at the Bible once. Regarding Joshua and Caleb, from when did history occur? 12 Tribes, 12 Spies, 12 Regions—after seeing this, history occurred. After seeing this, the Jordan also divided, and Jericho also crumbled. It’s important, isn’t it? Only after you truly see the field and region does God work. Elders, you must deliver this well. When you start 24 regarding one nation, history begins.
6) 1 Samuel 7:1-15: Look at the Bible well. For Samuel who saw 24, God raised the Mizpah movement. It happens the same way. Look at the Bible well. “From that day on the Spirit of Jehovah came powerfully upon him (David)”—this is what’s important. After what day? After the day he met Samuel; after meeting Samuel and talking about the Ark and the Temple…
7) Song of Songs 4:1-5, 1 Chronicles 29:10-14: After David discovered 24, he established 1,000 bartizans. He established 1,000 bartizans, and prayer places arose in 1,000 locations. It’s an amazing answer, isn’t it? He saw this. That is why in 1 Chronicles 29:10-14, he completely prepared for the temple.
8) 2 Kings 2:9-11, 6:8-24: Elisha speaks these words. Not Gilgal, not Bethel, not Jericho—”Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” “Give me the answer that I must do for 24 hours.” Consequently, the Dothan movement occurred, didn’t I tell you?
9) Daniel 1:8-9: I am providing the evidence now. He became a captive. However, he succeeded. He was called as a high-ranking official in the palace. That is not the issue. He realized what he had to do for 24 hours. He resolved (tteut-eul jeong-haetda). What kind of work happened? Do we not know? It transcends imagination.
10) Acts 1:14: Finally, the people who held the 24 covenant came down from Mount Olivet and started. “They all joined together constantly (oroji) in prayer”—it was finished. I am not saying the evangelism you have done and the Camps you have done until now were wrong. Unless you establish this disciple, there is no fruit. No revival. If you establish just one, reproduction unceasingly occurs.

Missions 24—Now, despite this, why did Israel suffer disasters 7 times? What was it they could not see? They could not see this (Missions 24).

▣ Main Body: Bartizan/Journey/Guidepost of the Throne (Flow + Point = Miracle)
Now, today, you must take a simple answer with you. What kind of ministry should be done in the mission region? What kind of work should I do right now to revive the church? Actual revival is not happening, is it? Even if you start from there, it isn’t working, is it? “I am currently in difficulty”—you must start from there. You must not miss it this year. Therefore, this year the training is now different. In Korea RU, I said do not accept at all people for whom this answer has not come out. When do they graduate? They graduate when this answer comes out. They haven’t seen God’s work, so does it make sense to graduate? If you truly understand this, every place you go comes alive. Right? Every place your disciple goes comes alive. It absolutely cannot be done by other things. By what does it work? You must find the answer exactly today. Jesus explained the Bartizan of the Throne for 40 days. Right? That one thing is enough. Jesus explained the Journey of the Throne for 40 days. The prayers you have done until now—”give me this, give me that”—that is not prayer. Jesus told you not to do that, didn’t He? “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Jesus explained the work of the Kingdom of God, the Guidepost of the Throne, for 40 days. Now, here there are these three flows. Within this flow, there is a point related to me. If it’s like this, the miracles found in the Bible occur exactly even for the most lacking person.

Now, you saw this flow point. Because I am unceasingly praying for this, this becomes visible. While I am unceasingly praying, the 5,000 tribes are visible. The Three Courtyards are visible. The Friday-Saturday-Sunday era is visible. And what is it? The era of meditation that heals the whole world is visible. It will be visible in the future too, won’t it? It is the highest blessing that missionaries must make known. It cannot be done by other things. Jesus said “Only.” So, “it is being revived greatly now”—that is not the standard. Living history must occur. “There are many congregants”—that is not the standard. There are many places that grow by doing things incorrectly. Greater difficulties come to those later. Once a “wind” blows, they all fly away. These people (disciples) are not shaken. Now, this is the key for missionaries to save the world. Jesus spoke. The world churches are not doing what Jesus taught, but are doing what the Jews taught. Also, if they only did that, it might be okay, but they are doing what the 3 Organizations taught.

Then you must see three things here today. Even if you only did a little, it is okay.
① Found the people who will do 24 having received this answer.
② Found the field people who will do 24. History occurred even though only a few people did it. Not just that level.
③ Made the 24 System. Paul performed these three. You just need to catch them. If you pray, it is bound to come out now. Now is the time schedule.

1. People who will do 24
I will give a few examples from the Bible.
1) Acts 15:36-41: Do you know Acts 15:36-41? It is the field where Barnabas and Paul argue. So they argued so much they were at the point of dividing. You know that content, don’t you? It is something that happened in the mission region. You must be able to see this. Why was it so? Simply put, it was something that happened because of Mark. Paul says we must not take Mark with us now, right? What is the standard? Barnabas says let’s take him anyway. For what purpose did Paul oppose? You must catch on to this. Why did Paul say no? That Paul who has so much love says Mark won’t do—then why did Barnabas do that? “He is my nephew, since he is my nephew please look past it”—that’s the meaning. It wasn’t that. It was a very big spiritual eye that Paul saw. What is this? Mark cannot do 24 in the current important field; ultimately, he did not take him. Later, he used him. This is your choice, the key of missions.
2) Acts 16:11: It is Acts 16:11. Here, the word “We” appears. What is it? People who will do 24 to save the field, people who see the big flow of God, people who saw the Bartizan/Journey/Guidepost explained for 40 days, people who saw re-creation and reproduction occurring not by my strength but by God’s work—We!
3) Acts 17:1: Look again. It is Acts 17:1. What does it say? “They,” it says. It is the same thing. “They”—simply put, people with this answer went. It isn’t numbers. Even if your church congregation is 2 people, if they receive this answer, history occurs. Even if your church congregation is 10,000 people, if they don’t know this, it is of no use.
4) Acts 18:1-4: He met the Priscilla couple. What is it? He met people who will do 24. These people entered the synagogue every Sabbath.
5) Acts 19:9: Look at one more. It is Acts 19:9. What does it say? For three months he boldly explained the Kingdom of God, but there were people who opposed and people who realized. An important phrase appears here. “He took the disciples with him (separately established)”—this is now the key. What is it? People who will do 24!

2. Field people who will do 24
Then ultimately, our time is limited, isn’t it? Because we must enter and find the field people who will do 24, how did he do it?
1) Three Sabbaths: In Acts 17:1-2, it was exactly fixed as three Sabbaths. Here Jason appeared, and Greeks and prominent women appeared.
2) Every Sabbath: In Acts 18:4, “every Sabbath”—he used a long-term strategy.
3) Three Months: In Acts 19:8, for three months…
4) Two Years: After separately establishing the disciples, for two years—this is something extremely important.
God’s secret: if missions disciples who do 24 arise, an immense work happens here. In a way, that transcends imagination. Everyone, after this Missions Conference ends, those of you in Korea, try starting this. Truly amazing answers come. “Let’s go out for a Camp from the General Assembly”—I do not go to such places. “Let’s do a Camp from the Presbytery once”—do you know why the General Assembly of world churches cannot perform evangelism? It’s not that the General Assembly is bad, but it must be done by taking turns once a year. They absolutely cannot do 24. That is why God established the “Local” Peter and the “Para” Paul. Therefore, disciple training goes for a lifetime.

3. 24 System
Look. See how it came out: the 24 System was created.
1) Proconsul, Lydia, Jason: After Paul performed the Gospel movement, the proconsul became a disciple. After performing the Gospel movement there, a figure like Lydia arose. This proconsul is chapter 13. In chapter 17, a figure like Jason—the 24 System was exactly made, wasn’t it? Things like Greeks and prominent women arose.
2) Specialized Disciples: What is more important than this? Within that, specialized disciples exactly emerged. This becomes more of a 24. God has prepared everything for you missionaries. Here, if you only open your eyes now, history occurs. So if you handle your ministry incorrectly, you can end up laboring in vain. When I first exactly went to Young-do, before I went, several people were doing pioneering work. Every Sunday they went out to parks and stations to evangelize. Since evangelism is a good work, I followed and looked together, and helped, but that is not the evangelism I saw in the Bible. It must be 24. You must remember well. Your congregants must first obtain strength. Otherwise, they lose strength while evangelizing. Your believers, the field disciples—receive this answer first in the mission field—this is the 24 disciple.
3) Continuous System: Finally, a continuous system where world evangelization occurs comes out. You must never miss these three. This does not need skill; it is created if you only open your spiritual eyes and pray. Then the church, I mean, sometimes 3,000 disciples and 5,000 disciples just arise. It is the work God does.

♠ Conclusion: Charging (3 Concentrations)
What is the more important conclusion? This meeting today is the Missionaries’ Training (Hab-suk). If you look at the writing in Korea—where general people sleep, it says “Min-bak” (homestay/lodging). If you go out somewhere, it is written “Min-bak.” But if you go to Japan, they have it as “Min-suk.” Japan is a bit different from us; Japan is “Min-suk,” but which one is correct? Is Min-bak correct, or is Min-suk correct? If we distinguish accurately, “Bak” in Min-bak means only sleeping. Right? If it is “Suk” in Min-suk, it means doing everything like sleeping and eating. But the word used in Japan—that is correct. Our Korea is similar but a bit different. Also if you go [there], in our Korea they have put “No Entry” (Chur-ip-geum-ji). What does the word “Chur-ip-geum-ji” mean? It means do not enter, and do not leave—isn’t that the meaning? No “Chul” (leaving), No “Ip” (entering). What does Japan write? “Ip-ip” (Standing-Entering) “Geum-ji”—do not enter—that is more correct. We perform the conference at night and go to the lodging. In a way, it cannot be called training (hab-suk).
When you do training with believers, what is the key? The key of training will come out in Lecture 2, but what is the key of training in Lecture 1? The believers have lost their strength. You must “charge” (recharge) them. Because the believers have already received the Gospel, you must charge them with this power. Therefore, when doing training with congregants, you must train them having a bit of the 3 Concentrations. So that an immense, actual changing strength can occur: ① things to change, quickly ② things that must be found, ③ things that must be enjoyed—creating these is training. Returning to your churches, how well you perform this training training-wise is the key. It is very important. As for where I found the word “hab-suk” (training together)—it is written that Jesus called those whom He wanted at the very first. The reason for calling was “to be with him”—that is training together. Also at the last time: “I will be with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Then pastors, because you are missionaries, you must now quickly obtain the answer and catch on easily. No matter how much they hear, believers don’t know well. You all must set the direction. You can see the Camps done until now as having produced much fruit through the work of the Holy Spirit. However, actual revival does not work. Also, continuity does not work. So to speak, regarding how evangelism was performed until now: a doctor goes around carrying a bag without even a hospital. One must first establish a hospital. Right? Until now, it’s like a person cooking food and going around selling it on a handcart. Do not do that, but make a 24 Restaurant where people can come—to give an example, it’s like that. Long ago when we were young, if a car passed by, if you raised your hand anywhere, even the bus would stop. Now the bus stops are exactly fixed. Which one is much safer? Therefore, looking at what we are doing until now, we have missed every single too-precious blessing. Therefore, 24 Missions Disciple—Lecture 1 during the Missions Conference is so. Create a 24 Disciple Team—without doing that, you can give no help at all to missions.
Therefore, these three lectures of training will now cause history that has no choice but to perform world evangelization. So for me—I don’t know about other things, but I pray holding this covenant exactly, and everywhere I went the life movement occurred. Even when I sent a person for an errand, history occurred for that person too. Why? They see this exactly and history occurs. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this becomes a time of filling our missionaries with truly sufficient things, great things. Let’s send a round of applause of glory to our Triune God who will use you. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit be upon all missionaries who will find the 24 secret, and upon the missionaries who will raise a new revival, from now until forevermore. Amen.

The Ambassadors of Christ

2 Corinthians 5:17-21.  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.


The greatest blessing of all is the new life we have received in Christ—the gospel (2 Corinthians 5:17). Through this new life, we are no longer who we once were. We have been made new, and with that new identity comes a profound question: What message should we now carry to the world?

When we were completely cut off from God, helpless and unable to restore ourselves, He took the initiative. Through Christ, God built a bridge to bring us back to Himself. While we were still His enemies, He made peace with us through the death of His Son. Through Christ, God reconciled us and made us His friends (Romans 5:10).

God did not count our sins against us. Instead, He paid the full price by presenting Christ as a sacrifice of atonement (Romans 3:25). Jesus, who knew no sin, became sin for us so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. This is the message of reconciliation—the very message we are entrusted to carry to the world.

Now, God is making His appeal through us. We are His ambassadors, speaking on behalf of Christ, proclaiming to the world that Jesus is the Christ and that through Him, reconciliation with God is possible.

This privilege is not given to a select few. It is given to all who have received life in Christ. Therefore, do not let the world define your identity. You are an ambassador of Christ. You carry a life-saving message from God Himself.

But what happens when we forget who we are and neglect the mission entrusted to us? Scripture gives us a sobering warning: “Son of man, I have made you a watchman… When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them… I will hold you accountable… But if you do warn them… you will have saved yourself.” (Ezekiel 3:17–19)

This is not meant to instill fear, but to awaken responsibility. God is reminding us of the eternal significance of our mission. The message we carry is not optional—it is essential, and it has eternal consequences.

When we truly see people through the lens of the gospel, we recognize their spiritual condition. Those who do not know God are living under the power of darkness, separated from Him, and heading toward destruction. When we understand this reality, no one needs to compel us to speak. We are moved with compassion to warn, to pray, and to share the gospel.

Think of your unbelieving family members, friends, and coworkers. Do not view them merely from a human perspective, but from a spiritual one. Hold them in prayer, and wait for God’s perfect timing, while remaining ready to share the gospel when the opportunity arises.

For those who have received the gospel by grace, evangelism is not a burden—it is a natural response: “Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16)

The world is desperately searching for solutions to its problems, yet the ultimate answer has already been revealed to us in the gospel. We are witnesses of this truth.

When the final day comes, the only thing of eternal value that will remain in our lives is what we have done for the sake of the gospel: “Whoever is ashamed of me and my words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them…” (Luke 9:26)

Evangelism unlocks everything in life because the gospel is everything. And the gospel is everything because Christ is everything—and the One who sent Him is everything.

Therefore, let everything you have and everything you do converge toward this purpose. Life is too short to pursue anything less than what God desires most.

At the same time, do not be overly concerned about results. Evangelism is not about human effort or achievement. It is about God and His work of salvation.

Consider Abraham. After his victory, when offered rewards by the king of Sodom, he refused them, declaring that all his blessings came from God Most High (Genesis 14:22–23). He sought no human recognition or reward. This is the heart of an ambassador.

In contrast, Gehazi sought personal gain through deceit after Naaman was healed, and as a result, he suffered severe consequences (2 Kings 5:1–27). This serves as a warning: the work of God must never be used for personal profit or glory.

All glory belongs to God alone. When we have done all that we were commanded, we should humbly say: “We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.” (Luke 17:10)

Even during His ministry, Jesus did not seek human approval. Though many followed Him because of His miracles, He did not entrust Himself to them, for He knew their hearts (John 2:23–25). When people tried to make Him king, He withdrew to pray (John 6:15). He was secure in His identity and mission.

Likewise, we must not compare ourselves with others or seek recognition. Ananias and Sapphira fell into this trap, desiring praise, and ended in tragedy (Acts 5:1–10).

Instead, we must heed Paul’s instruction: “Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment…” (Romans 12:3)

Let us prepare ourselves as vessels for evangelism. Let us set apart Christ as Lord in our hearts. And let us always be ready to give an answer to anyone who asks for the reason for the hope within us—with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15).


Prayer. Father, thank You for calling me as an ambassador of Your kingdom. Help me to remember who I am and the mission You have entrusted to me. Use my life to faithfully carry the message of reconciliation to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Know the Reason for Evangelism

Mark 16:15-20. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


The most significant event in your life was the moment you became a child of God. Nothing else compares. Therefore, the greatest gift you can ever give to another person is the gospel you have received. This is the true blessing of evangelism—it is the work of saving lives, restoring what was lost, and bringing people into eternal life with God.

This is why the final command of the Lord Jesus was centered on evangelism (Acts 1:8; Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:18–20). Its importance is seen in the confession of Paul, who regarded his own life as having no value apart from completing the task of testifying to the gospel of God’s grace (Acts 20:24). For him, evangelism was his life’s purpose.

Evangelism, then, is not something we do out of religious obligation. It is the direction of our life. When Jesus said, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” (Matthew 4:19), He was not giving a command to perform a task but an invitation into a relationship. The emphasis is not on “fishing” but on “following.” As we follow Him, He Himself makes us into those who save lives.

This means evangelism does not come from our effort, knowledge, or ability. It flows naturally from our union with Christ. As Jesus declared, “I am the vine; you are the branches… apart from me you can do nothing” (John 15:5). A branch does not struggle to bear fruit; it simply remains connected to the vine. When it does, life flows into it, and fruit appears naturally.

In the same way, when we abide in Christ, His life flows through us. It would be unnatural for a branch connected to a healthy vine to bear no fruit. Likewise, when we truly possess the gospel and remain in Him, evangelism becomes the most natural expression of our life. What once seemed burdensome becomes light and joyful (Matthew 11:28–30).

At the same time, we must understand the spiritual significance of evangelism. It is not merely helping people or sharing ideas—it is the most powerful weapon against the work of Satan. The entire human race fell under destruction because of the devil’s deception, but Jesus Christ came to destroy the devil’s work (1 John 3:8). As it is written, God anointed Jesus with the Holy Spirit and power, and He went around healing all who were under the power of the devil (Acts 10:38).

Even now, the forces of darkness are actively at work in the world (Ephesians 2:2), blinding people and holding them captive. Evangelism is the only way to break these strongholds. Through the proclamation of Christ, light enters darkness, truth overcomes deception, and life replaces death.

Evangelism has always been at the very heart of God. When Stephen, the first martyr of the early church, stood before the Sanhedrin and testified about Christ, he was filled with the Holy Spirit and saw the glory of God, with Jesus standing at His right hand (Acts 7:54–56). This is a remarkable scene—Scripture usually describes Jesus as seated at the right hand of God, yet here He is standing!

Why was He standing? It reveals the heart of the Lord. He was cheering, honoring, and receiving His faithful witness. Heaven itself responded to one man proclaiming the gospel. This shows how precious evangelism is in God’s sight. Nothing brings Him greater joy than seeing His children testify that Jesus is the Christ.

God has chosen evangelism as His method to save the world. As Paul writes, “God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe” (1 Corinthians 1:21). What may seem simple or even insignificant to the world is, in fact, the very wisdom and power of God.

For this reason, the promise of the Holy Spirit was given not for personal success or worldly gain, but for the sake of being witnesses. “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses… to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). The filling of the Holy Spirit is directly connected to the work of evangelism.

As we follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we begin to see God’s prepared meetings—divine encounters arranged for the saving of lives. Often, these take place in unexpected ways and places. Philip’s meeting with the Ethiopian official did not happen in a crowded city but on a desert road (Acts 8:26–27). Yet through that one encounter, the gospel was carried to an entire region. This is the masterpiece of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus Himself lived entirely for this mission. He declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6), and continually went from place to place preaching the good news of the kingdom (Mark 1:38). Evangelism reveals the only way of salvation: “There is no other name under heaven… by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Throughout history, many leaders and founders of religions have appeared, but none could overcome death. Only Jesus Christ rose again, proving that He alone is the true Savior and Lord. Therefore, evangelism is not presenting one option among many—it is proclaiming the only answer for all humanity.

Evangelism is also the pathway through which we experience the presence of Christ most deeply. Jesus promised, “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). This promise was fulfilled as the early church went out—the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word through signs (Mark 16:19–20). The same Lord is with us today.

The gospel alone has the power to transform the world. Paul, once a man of great learning and philosophy, came to realize that human wisdom could not save anyone. He warned against deceptive philosophies that are not centered on Christ (Colossians 2:8) and boldly declared, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for salvation” (Romans 1:16).

After encountering Christ, Paul’s ambition completely changed. He no longer sought influence or recognition but made it his goal to preach the gospel where Christ was not yet known (Romans 15:20). He discovered the one true way to change the world.

This mission has been entrusted to us, the children of God. The mystery of the gospel, hidden for ages, has now been revealed to us (Romans 16:25–26). Even angels long to understand this salvation (1 Peter 1:12), yet God has given us the privilege of proclaiming it.

Along with this calling comes a promise of both eternal and present blessings. Jesus said that no one who sacrifices for the gospel will fail to receive a hundredfold, along with eternal life (Mark 10:29–30). God delights to reward those who share His heart for the world.

There is also an eternal reward awaiting us. Paul writes, “What is our hope, our joy, or the crown…? Is it not you?” (1 Thessalonians 2:19). Those who come to know Christ through us will become our joy and crown in the presence of the Lord.

In the end, the gospel and evangelism are everything. They are the center of God’s plan and the purpose of our lives. Therefore, Jesus calls us even now: “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33).


Prayer. Father, I thank You for calling me as Your evangelist. Open my eyes to see the world as You see it, and fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. Lead me to the people You have prepared, and use my life as a witness of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Fulfilling in Advance: Practice

Philippians 3:7-14. But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.

12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.


Now that God has opened our eyes to see ahead of time, we can also receive the strength from above ahead of time and enjoy every circumstance we face ahead of time. On this covenant journey, as citizens of the kingdom of God, we do not merely react to the kingdom of darkness—we overcome and conquer it in advance.

What, then, should we do in the remaining days of our lives? It is simple: we “press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of us” (Philippians 3:12). Our lives are not aimless; they are a pursuit of a divine purpose already secured in Christ.

We go all-in on the future that God will surely fulfill. We go all-out for the Great Commission our Lord Jesus has entrusted to us (Matthew 28:16–20). This should not be a partial commitment but a wholehearted offering of our lives to what God has prepared.

For God has already prepared good works in advance—works that no one else can do (Ephesians 2:10). These are not random tasks but uniquely appointed callings. What we must do is take hold of them.

And what is it that no one else can do? It is the work of spiritual healing. The world has been fundamentally sick since the beginning:

Cursed is the ground because of you;
through painful toil you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.
It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.
By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 3:17–19)

Scripture reveals that mankind was created as a spiritual being, with the mind and body intricately connected to the spirit. When the spirit is broken, the mind and body cannot stand firm. This is why true healing must begin at the spiritual root.

The Bible also declares that all people are born spiritually dead because of sin—cut off from the source of life (Ephesians 2:1). This is the fundamental problem of humanity.

As a result, people live under the influence of the “ruler of the kingdom of the air,” the devil (Ephesians 2:2). Fear, anxiety, and insecurity have become ingrained in human life, giving rise to countless mental and physical afflictions (Ephesians 2:3).

Despite remarkable advancements in science and medicine over the past decades, the world is not becoming healthier—it is becoming more broken. Countless people suffer from incurable diseases, including deep spiritual, mental, and physical conditions that no human effort can fully resolve.

Throughout history, even the most powerful nations failed to bring true healing. Instead of restoring the world, they pursued dominance—waging wars and producing systems that often deepened human suffering.

Even Israel, the nation chosen to carry the gospel of healing, became trapped in nationalism and missed God’s heart for world evangelization. Therefore, God raised up the holy seed (Isaiah 6:13), the remnants (Zephaniah 2:7), and the scattered (1 Peter 1:1) to fulfill His purpose.

To accomplish this, God allowed circumstances such as slavery (Exodus 3:1–8), captivity (Zephaniah 2:7), and occupation (Acts 1:6–7). Yet in every age, He raised individuals—Joseph, Moses, Samuel, David, Daniel and his three friends, Esther, the Early Church, and Paul—to bring healing to the nations, even influencing powerful empires like Egypt, Philistia, Babylon, Persia, and Rome.

In later history, God raised figures such as John Calvin, Martin Luther, John Wesley, and D. L. Moody. Through them, the gospel advanced in ways that neither political power nor institutional religion could achieve. They accomplished what no one else could because God displayed His power through them. In every case, it was God who brought healing and restoration to the world through those who held onto His covenant.

Today, God has called you as a remnant of this age. He has placed you in this specific time—a time when the world desperately needs healing: healing from being “under the power of the devil” (Acts 10:38), healing for broken hearts and weary minds (Matthew 11:28), and healing from all kinds of physical diseases (Acts 8:4–8).

Scripture clearly reveals what will come in the last days (Matthew 24:1–14; Matthew 25:45–46; 2 Timothy 3:1–5). There will be unprecedented chaos, confusion, and despair. Even amid rapid technological advancement—through the digital revolution and the rise of artificial intelligence—the core problems of humanity will only intensify.

As we move deeper into this era, new forms of suffering will emerge faster than science can understand or treat. Spiritual and mental illnesses will increase dramatically across the world. Therefore, we must “be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

But how do we stand? We find true rest in Christ alone. We discover ongoing healing through the Word. We continually receive strength from above through prayer.

God is sending you into places where you will witness what He has already accomplished through Christ. You will go to fields where Christ is not yet known, and there you will bring God’s healing and restoration. The work you do will become a masterpiece of God—something no one else can replicate.

Through the unique work of God in your life, the people in your mission field will be blessed. Wherever God sends you, His promise will produce great joy and lasting fruit.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for calling me as a remnant of this age. Open my eyes to see what You have already fulfilled through Christ. Send me to places where Christ is not known, and use me to bring Your healing and restoration. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Conquering in Advance: Image

Daniel 3:16-18. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”


 

Scripture describes this age as a “wicked and adulterous generation” (Matthew 12:39), a “warped and crooked generation” (Philippians 2:15), and a time of “terrible days in the last days” (2 Timothy 3:1). Why is this so?

It is because the world is filled with the strongholds of the enemy, the devil. He continually plants in the minds of people proud thoughts and arguments that rise against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:4–5). He is actively at work in those who live in disobedience (Ephesians 2:2), shaping their thinking, values, and decisions.

The devil operates through rulers, authorities, and the powers of this dark world, influencing even the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12). In this way, he deceives the whole world, working through religion, government, economy, and culture (Revelation 12:9).

Today, many religious movements promote various ways to access spiritual power through human effort and experience. The New Age Movement is one such example. At its core is the same ancient deception: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5), rejecting the truth that we are created beings who must depend entirely on God.

Modern culture also reflects this deception. Through media and entertainment, it glorifies figures that resemble Nimrod (Genesis 10:8–12) and the Nephilim (Genesis 6:1–8)—exalting human strength, independence, and self-deification while denying salvation through Christ alone. These messages subtly shape people’s understanding of success (Genesis 11:1–9).

Because these influences are embedded in nearly every aspect of culture, people—especially the younger generation—find it difficult to escape them. As a result, many are becoming increasingly broken spiritually, mentally, and even physically.

In search of relief, people turn to alternative spiritual practices such as yoga, meditation, and other experiential methods. Yet apart from Christ, these only deepen the problem, leaving people in a worse condition than before (Matthew 12:43–45). They do not realize that Satan often disguises himself as an angel of light through what appears good and appealing (2 Corinthians 11:14).

This influence extends further. Many nations celebrate religious artifacts and sites as cultural heritage, unaware that they are, in reality, connected to idolatry (1 Corinthians 10:20). Idols are no longer rejected—they are admired, preserved, and even revered.

Even churches are not exempt. Many places once established for worship and prayer have become tourist destinations. Without establishing a true gospel culture that transforms minds and hearts, believers can easily conform to the patterns of this world (Romans 12:2). This is the reality faced by the children of light today.

Yet in the midst of this darkness, there is unchanging hope: God is for us. If God is for us, who can stand against us? (Romans 8:31). In every circumstance, we are more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8:37).

Therefore, we must conquer our mission fields in advance by restoring the image of God within us (Genesis 1:27–28). This is the direction of our lives.

When we truly see the condition of the world and its future, we will naturally return to the Word and devote ourselves to prayer. Then we will witness the establishment of God’s kingdom as the Word is fulfilled.

Daniel understood why Judah fell—it was because the gospel had been completely lost. Because of this realization, he and his three friends resolved not to compromise with Babylon’s idolatry (Daniel 1:8).

They did not see themselves as victims or captives. Instead, they believed that God had sent them to Babylon to save that land and even the world from idolatry. Daniel understood that his position in the government was not accidental—it was part of God’s plan to restore the gospel.

Daniel saw something absolute: God’s plan for world salvation. Because of this, he prayed three times a day without fail, even when it meant risking his life (Daniel 6:10). He placed God’s will above his own life.

Even when a decree was issued to stop prayer, Daniel did not compromise. He continued as he always had, acknowledging God’s sovereignty in all circumstances. His prayer was not filled with fear or anxiety, but with thanksgiving and joy in the Lord. Through this, Daniel conquered the forces of darkness in advance. Prayer was not merely something he did in crisis—it was his life.

The same was true for his three friends. Standing before King Nebuchadnezzar, they were unshaken in the face of death. Why? They saw the spiritual reality behind the situation—the work of Satan through idolatry. They understood the condition of the world under sin and darkness.

They trusted completely in God’s covenant: that the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). They believed in the power of God, who had already demonstrated His authority through the Passover in Egypt (Exodus 12).

They knew that they belonged to God and that His power transcended all circumstances—even the fiery furnace. So they declared: “The God we serve is able to deliver us… but even if He does not…” (Daniel 3:17–18). They acknowledged God’s absolute sovereignty. Whether delivered or not, they would not bow to idols.

God responded to their faith. In the furnace, God Himself was with them, and through this event, His power was revealed to the entire empire (Daniel 3:25, 28–30).

Likewise, God raised Daniel and his friends to positions of influence, granting them wisdom and understanding beyond all others (Daniel 1:17–20). Through them, God revealed His plans and demonstrated His authority over kings and nations.

Even in the lions’ den, God delivered Daniel, shutting the mouths of the lions (Daniel 6:22), and His name was proclaimed throughout the kingdom (Daniel 6:26).

Esther also understood this principle. When faced with destruction, she chose to act in faith: “If I perish, I perish” (Esther 4:16). Through her, God saved His people. Before the battle even began, victory had already been secured through the covenant.

This is the same promise given to us. God has chosen you as a remnant of this age (Isaiah 6:13). He is with you—Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). His Word stands forever (Isaiah 40:8).

Therefore, do not be shaken. Hold firmly to His Word. God declares:
“I am doing a new thing… I am making a way in the wilderness” (Isaiah 43:18–21).

As you shine the light of Christ, God will draw people to you. He will establish His kingdom through your life (Isaiah 60:1–22). So stand as a watchman. Pray continually. Lift up a banner for the nations (Isaiah 62:6–12). God will restore your field, bringing true joy and peace to those who are lost (Isaiah 66:10–14).

How, then, do we conquer in advance? Hold onto God’s covenant in the midst of crisis. Open your eyes to see His kingdom at work where you are. Restore the power of prayer in your life. Like Daniel and his friends, resolve not to compromise. Stand against the idols that dominate your field.

Stop focusing only on your circumstances. See the people who are spiritually blind, captive, and in darkness (Isaiah 42:7). God will use you to bring healing and restoration.


Prayer. Father, may Your kingdom come and Your will be done in every circumstance of our lives. Open our eyes to see Your work and give us strength to stand as Your witnesses in this age. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
