Evening Altar: September 1, 2026

So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.”

Praise
Blessed Assurance

Confession of Faith
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 there He will come to judge the living 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.

Evangelism

Introduction

You must teach from the very beginning what kind of evangelism is right for new family members. Jesus also spoke about this from the very beginning. So the first thing we must convey is what Jesus said (Acts 1:8). There are three things we must tell them first.

Power
Work (300%)
Evangelism, mission 300%
Spiritual summit
Function summit
Culture summit

①Power (spiritual summit) – You must gain the strength that God gives. He said, receive power, and so on. This becomes the spiritual summit. You must tell them this is absolutely essential. So even you yourselves – those who are truly doing world evangelization now do not do fixed-time prayer. Fixed-time prayer is what beginners do. So you must always be conscious of two things. You must be conscious of prayer in order to become a spiritual summit – to the point of becoming comfortable. Then, since you must keep your body and much else alive as time goes on, you must be conscious of your breathing. Because you are breathing without being conscious of it, it does not help your health. Because you are not conscious of prayer, you become caught up in idle fantasy, or your own thoughts, or delusions. Or you become caught up in worry. These two things can supply you with tremendous strength, so you must tell this to the new family members.

②Work at 300% (function summit) – Praying so that your work becomes 300% – this is called the function summit. You must teach this to new family members from the very start. Because God has prepared this blessing, this must be done. To put it a bit more strongly, without the function summit, without work at 300%, you can never accomplish world evangelization.

③Evangelism, mission at 300% (culture summit) – So you must prepare for evangelism and mission at 300%. This is called the culture summit.

Introduction – The start of evangelism
Having explained this, and continuing to pray while holding onto this from now on, what is the start of evangelism for a new family member?

1)Matthew 10:35-36
In Matthew 10:35-36, the family becomes the first problem. A husband and wife are living well together, going out and enjoying life, and then one day the wife believes in Jesus – now on Sunday she goes to church, and it doesn’t fit anymore. The husband curses the pastor – “that woman is crazy about the pastor now; before, if I said let’s go out somewhere, she’d come, but now she goes to church alone” – and even says, “I’ll go to church with you once, so you come out with me too” – it comes out like this. They were living perfectly normally, and then the daughter-in-law believes in Jesus, and from that point the mother-in-law begins to spiritually rage. Of course, there are also the opposite cases where the husband believes and the wife becomes the one who says crazy things.

2)The darkness of the family lineage
It doesn’t end there. The darkness of the family lineage also comes to attack. They were living perfectly fine and enjoying life together, and then this person believing in Jesus drives them crazy – that’s what happens when someone truly believes, right?

3)The darkness of the region
So then the darkness of the region also comes to attack.

4)The darkness of the workplace
And though you might hesitate to call it darkness, it too is darkness. The darkness of the workplace also attacks.

5)Work
Even within the church, as a person lives out their faith and becomes zealous, problems come to their work as well.

Evidence (witness) – These 5 things come upon new family members like this. You must be sure to teach this. The family says things, the family lineage says things, the region and neighborhood talk, the workplace too – and yet these people are watching while persecuting. The more severely they persecute, the more they are watching. If there’s no persecution at all, and the husband says “oh good, well done, go to church,” drives her there by car, and goes home himself – this actually takes longer. So people who persecute harshly are actually easier, you know? They keep watching while doing so. There was a couple who had been Jehovah’s Witnesses who registered when we started our work in Yeongdo, Busan. They came to believe well after that. I went to visit that home. The husband did bonsai and kept the house very well. This was his confession. The man’s confession was that he decided to believe in Jesus because of his wife. He said he never expected that such a fierce personality could change like that. Then his wife, who was listening, said, “who’s fierce?” – apparently she had completely changed. It must be the real Christ – everyone is watching. Right? They’re all watching you, you know? One day, when they see the evidence, those people all end up being evangelized. You must be sure to tell new family members this: don’t be deceived, the more this happens, the calmer and more composed you must remain.

Main – So then, how exactly should new family members begin evangelism? New family members can do special evangelism, or they can follow you and observe your evangelism, and there are many good options. But what you should give the new family members is: ①What did Jesus say? ②What secrets did Jesus speak of? And ③what has been the evidence of Christians up until now?

This must be understood simply and easily. This part before (the Introduction) must be told to them without fail. Also, it’s not that you did something wrong and got cursed at because of your own bad behavior, right? You’re being persecuted, but they’re all watching, you know? Within your workplace, if you firmly hold onto the covenant, it may look like people dislike you, but that’s not so. People come looking for you when they have a spiritual problem. They’re all watching, you know? So don’t be discouraged at all – just think that someday you will grasp the evidence and become a witness. In order to do that, you must let them know what Jesus said.

It’s necessary to look up the Bible and read it quietly. If possible, when you go to disciple new family members, you know the large-print Bibles? Bring one of those. Why? So you can open it together and read together – it’s awkward to look at a small one – so open a large one and read together, and since there may be elderly people, reading and feeling it together is extremely important. In some cases, work happens just from the reading alone. Suddenly, back when we first started in Yeongdo, Russian people began flocking in. Could I just sit still? Russian people kept coming in droves. I don’t know Russian. How was I supposed to share the gospel? First, I bought a Russian Bible. I have the verses I use for evangelism, right? I just showed those and had them read. The work happened exactly as it was. Then one day I met a person who could speak Russian at a park on the street. I called him over and asked him to interpret for me, and he agreed. Three months passed, and the person who had been interpreting came to see me. He said he had a request. I wondered what kind of request this could be, and asked, what is it? He quietly said to me, would it be alright if I received Jesus? Of course! And he kept interpreting his own salvation prayer. This is how the work happens. Then eventually a Russian-speaking professor came to our church. So the Russian mission society – he was some kind of branch director – came and began working in earnest.

1.The words of Jesus

1)Matthew 4:19
“Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men” – it’s necessary to read what Jesus said.

2)Matthew 11:28
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened” – he said come. It’s not “fix yourselves and then come” – it’s “come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, just as you are, and I will give you rest” – this is what Jesus said. New family members must clearly hold this in their hearts.

3)Mark 3:13-15
The Lord called those he wanted. It may look like you came looking for the church, but God called you. It may look like you came to church because of an illness, but God called you to heal and save the sick – you must give them the accurate word about this. And he called them in order to be with them – he is with you invisibly, and making that known is evangelism. And he also gave them authority to cast out demons, right? You must tell this to new family members. Why did he give authority to cast out demons? They had been living deep within a culture of spirits. If they didn’t perform ancestral rites, they would grow anxious – they lived within that kind of culture, you know? Is this resolved by doing a shamanic ritual? If we don’t hold a groundbreaking ceremony, might the company fail? Anxious, they’d go to a fortune-teller for divination, and the family had to perform ancestral rites, and if they didn’t, they thought disaster would come – that’s what they believed, you know? This must be completely changed. “The spirit of a dead parent comes” – that’s a lie. In 1 Corinthians 10:20, sacrifices are made to demons – it is not the parent who comes. A demon is deceiving them. You must be sure to tell new family members this. That’s how they’ve been living, you know – anxious, unable to break free quickly, wandering around like that.

4)Matthew 28:16-20
It’s not just this much. You may find it hard to understand, but he called you in order to accomplish world evangelization, right? Abraham suffered because he didn’t understand, but you don’t need to suffer – just believe. As you save many people through evangelism, the work of healing happens.

5)Mark 16:15-20
“In my name they will drive out demons… they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

6)Acts 1:8
And Jesus said something else. Receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit, the 300% blessing, and you will be witnesses to the ends of the earth.

7)Authority
The man named Paul did not merely evangelize – he used authority. You must be sure to tell them this. He was given authority to drive out all darkness. He was given authority to bind and cast out every curse, disaster, and unbelief in the name of Jesus Christ.

Position/authority – So you must tell them this: there is prayer offered based on one’s position, and there is prayer offered with authority. “God, please heal this crippled man, I pray in Jesus’s name” – this is prayer offered based on position. “What I have I give you – in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, rise up and walk” – this is prayer with authority. You must enable new family members to do this.

2.The secrets of Jesus

From this point, amazing secrets are accomplished. Now the secrets come out one after another.

1)Matthew 13:1-58, Matthew 16:13-20, Matthew 17:1-9
“Your faith is like a small mustard seed, but because it has life, it becomes a forest” – you must be sure to teach this to new family members. “Your faith is invisible, but it spreads like yeast.” “As you live out your faith now, there is this difficulty and that difficulty, but in that field there is treasure laid out that you can eat from for eternity” – you must tell them this. That is Matthew 13. And you must tell them this too – this is a very important part. Matthew 16, the confession received at Caesarea Philippi. You must correctly know who Christ is. He is not like Elijah. He is not like Jeremiah. You must teach this from the very start. He is not like John the Baptist. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” – “you are Peter, and on this rock” – this is the blessing and secret you will receive. “The gates of Hades will not overcome you,” “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven” – you must let them know this with certainty. The very first message I gave when I began the evangelism movement was: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God!” And he took them up the mountain of transfiguration and transformed. Elijah disappeared, Moses disappeared, and only Christ remained – grasp this covenant.

2)The 12 apostles
In the Bible, he established 12 apostles and created 12 world parishes, and one of those is your blessing – this is what Jesus left behind. It is a secret. Jesus spoke of a tremendous secret, and left behind 12 apostles and 70 disciples.

3)The 70 disciples
Your blessing is to receive the blessing of the 70 disciples – you must make sure to paint this picture for them from the very start. This is evangelism.

3.The evidence of Christ

Then three pieces of evidence come. We taught prayer in lesson 1, right?

1)WIOS
If you properly enjoy this prayer, in any circumstance God is with you – as Immanuel, he saves everything. As oneness, this system is created. This is the true evidence.

2)OURS
You come to see “only.” Then you go forward with uniqueness. You go forward to re-creation. That system is created. This, now, is the true evidence, right?

3)Always with
He will always be with you – Always with. Our PKs and MKs asked me to name it, and I gave it this name. Always with. This is the evangelism that new family members must find and enjoy.

♠Conclusion: Future generations

Lastly, what must absolutely be done is – what is the evangelism of evangelisms? It’s not necessarily your own children. It is future generations – this message must be conveyed to future generations.

You must absolutely not fail to do this.

1)Satan – the imprint
Right now, for future generations, all authority has been broken, all of this has been set up by Satan. You must imprint the power that can overcome this. This has been imprinted, and that must be changed.

2)Nephilim – the root
Satan is not just doing something ordinary – he is using the Nephilim strategy. This root must be pulled out. You must be sure to remember this.

3)The ruler – the constitution
So this Satan acts as the ruler of this world. Because of this, the people of the world are led along and follow after it. That’s why disasters come. The foundation must be completely changed.

For future generations, your children must be alright wherever they go. They must be alright wherever they are. They must be alright at any time. They must be raised as central figures in accomplishing world evangelization. You must imprint this from the very start. Your prayers are needed. So teach this specifically. If possible, on Sundays, or better yet, every day, pray a blessing over your children. Teach them from the very start. If needed, gather the children at home and hold Home Church. Call their friends and hold Home Church. Then that becomes RUTC. You must teach new family members what they can do. Now, pray a blessing over your children. My mother, after returning from dawn prayer, would pray a blessing over me. How did she do it? She held my feet, held my feet. Sometimes I would hear her – even though I wasn’t going to church, having fallen into corruption, how much must it have taken for her to lay hands in prayer? Afraid that touching my head would wake me, she held my feet instead – the prayer was the same. She prayed that I would become a servant of the Lord who accomplishes world evangelization. At first I thought, “I’m not even going to church, how could I possibly…?” Every single day, though becoming a servant of the Lord – becoming a pastor was the last thing I wanted – none of it fit me at all. But God kept blocking paths and opening others. The answer came exactly as she had blessed. Teach this to the parents of new family members: having been saved, you have recovered the position and authority to pray in the name of Christ – truly. You have the authority to pray a blessing over your children, you have the authority to pray a blessing over others – you must firmly plant this in them. He gave you the authority to break Satan and evil spirits. And what is the ultimate end of this? He gave you the name that makes all things subject – it is certain. Let’s pray.

Prayer
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the eternal love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit, be always with the evangelistic disciples who will save the world, from now until eternity. Amen.

The Word of God — Re-Creation

Introduction

After prayer, the thing we encounter most is the word. But it is also the thing we least enjoy. Why is that? Hebrews 4:12 says that the word of God is living and active. In other words, it is the living word that must work. These new family members cannot understand the statement that the living word is working. So we need to know why that is.

1)Word (fulfillment) – my feelings (level)
This is a part where even pastors can make many mistakes. This word is definitely being fulfilled. It is being fulfilled, and I must be within it, but most people say things like “I received grace” – they even write things like that. They also say things like “I like that message.” If you’re not careful, it’s easy to speak from your own feelings or your own level. You need to be in the place where the fulfillment of God’s word is happening, but people inevitably view things through their own lens. So people cannot see the word working alive. You must be very careful about this part and convey it well.

This happened when I was attending graduate school. Occasionally at our first service in Busan, there is a senior pastor who gives the benediction. He often comes to worship with us and gives the benediction – when he comes to us, he has us do the benediction, that sort of thing. There’s a reason for that. When I was attending graduate school, he was a professor. He was a professor – a professor of homiletics. So he would have us take turns preaching for 10 minutes. Of course others did it too, but I got my turn as well. At that time, I preached from Philippians 4:13. “I can do all things through him who strengthens me” – that sermon. It was truly an empowering sermon, and then a “you can do it” kind of sermon. The students were moved and applauded like that. I thought I had done well too. That professor was Pastor Cho, and he pointed something out to me. He pointed it out coolly and clearly. He said this verse doesn’t mean that. He said, how can it mean “I can do all things” – that’s correct, but that’s not what this verse means. And then he explained the interpretation. He said Paul was in prison now because of the gospel. But he says he can do it. “I am in prison, but I can do it, because I am in him who gives me strength” – that’s what it means. Listening quietly, I realized, oh no. Without realizing it, I had preached a Full Gospel-style sermon. I never forgot that. From that point on, what habit developed in me? Right – I had been preaching from my own theological background and my own feelings. What God’s actual word, that verse, was trying to give us was not that. So I took him as my mentor after that and met with him often. If you’re not careful, this is what happens. So generally speaking, it’s better for you not to evaluate what pastors preach. Why? Because it is the word of God. There are times when a pastor misquotes a Bible verse. That’s not done in order to misquote it – it’s a mistake. But the word is alive. Also, statistics may be stated incorrectly. So what if the statistic is wrong? We don’t believe in the statistic itself, right? A statistic simply means that such data also exists. But this is what God’s word says – that’s the thing.

2)Prayer (answer) – my circumstances
Something very important: prayer is being answered right now too, right? Prayer is being answered, but what’s the important point? I keep looking at the word through my own circumstances. I view everything through my own circumstances. If that’s the case, then 99% of the Bible doesn’t fit. While going through the wilderness, in the midst of a matter of life and death, God told them to build the tabernacle. Bring everything you have – doesn’t that not fit? Viewed through my circumstances, it doesn’t fit. So they made a mistake in the wilderness. Looking at their circumstances, they felt they would die. So they said, wouldn’t it be better to have stayed in Egypt than to die here – that’s how it came out. It sounds ordinary, but we are all living our life of faith this way. The word cannot work alive. Pastors must be most careful about this when preaching. You must not talk about yourself, you know? You can share your own testimony or some illustration, but that’s not how it works with the fundamental, important flow of God’s word, right?

3)Evangelism (salvation) – my position
The work of salvation is happening right now too, right? I must be within that, but we always look at things from my position, my position – if we look at it that way, not a single part of God’s word fits. Right now, if things go wrong, I might starve to death, and yet God said, “through your seed all nations will be blessed” – he was talking about world evangelization. Not a single part of God’s word fit Abraham’s situation. Abraham inevitably had to go a different path, right? That’s the reason. From my position it doesn’t make sense – I don’t even have a child, so how can all nations be blessed through my seed, and I don’t even know where I’m going, yet he says leave Chaldea – and he doesn’t even say go somewhere specific, but “go as I direct you.” Abraham confirmed that this was completely mismatched with his own position. Then one day, he changed this completely, and it began to be visible to him. It looks like nothing, but if you’re not careful, this is how ministry gets done, and this is how elders end up serving the church. So new family members are doing this 100% of the time. It’s not that these people don’t listen to the word. And they’re doing something with prayer in their own way too.

4)The field (life) – comparison
We definitely have a field. We have a field, right? Because this is life. The reason we can’t receive an answer here is that we keep comparing. That’s humanism. Because we compare, even our own eyes grow dim. In that field there is definitely a flow, and there is something you must see. Right now I am talking about 5 flows.

5)Nation (disaster) – tradition and culture (doctrine)
As we try to accomplish world evangelization, we must pray for a nation, and I too am living in one nation, right? Almost every nation has its traditional culture. That’s not to say traditional culture is unnecessary or wrong. But that tremendous world mission, God’s word, can end up being viewed only through the lens of traditional culture. What we must be most careful of is trying to force it into doctrine. This is an easy mistake to make. Doctrine exists in order to help us understand God’s word well. And doctrine is what makes it possible to properly grasp the gospel and evangelize. That doctrine is theology, right? What seminaries must be careful of is that they have their own theology. They try to force all the living word into that framework. When something doesn’t fit that, it’s labeled heresy. It looks like nothing, but that’s why the church has no work happening. As a result, churches around the world are closing their doors. There’s no way around it. It’s not this side (fulfillment/answer/salvation/life/disaster) – it’s this side (my feelings/circumstances/position/comparison/traditional culture). New family members come to church and listen to these people’s words. Listening to these people’s words, even hearing up to this point (the 5 flows), they cannot see this (fulfillment/answer/salvation/life/disaster). They cannot see the fulfillment happening, cannot see the answers coming, cannot see the work of salvation, and even while in the field, cannot see their own life. Then in that nation, all these disasters occur, right? They cannot see this. This is extremely important.

The opposite side – So instead, I must view things in reverse of what I would naturally think.

①The 7 Remnant – that is the 7 Remnant. If I look at it as, “I’m being dragged off to Egypt now, how could my brothers do this to me, how am I going to survive?” – then the road ahead is pitch black. They looked at the opposite side. “Ah, this is the path to world evangelization that was even shown to me in a dream” – they saw it well. All 7 Remnant were like that. As an easy example, he became a top-ranking government official in the nation called Babylon. That’s a great blessing received. But Daniel and his three friends did not think that way. They saw this. “Here, showing the evidence of light in the midst of darkness is what we must do” – and yet, because they simply held onto that one thing, there was no calculation involved. We calculate everything, right? No calculation. He was given room to calculate – “if you just bow down once now, you’ll live” – there was no need to even answer that!

②Hebrews 11:38, so in Hebrews 11 where the ancestors of faith are always recorded, these people saw that they were completely on the opposite side. The world was not worthy of them. They were people the world could not handle.

③Paul’s team – especially, though it includes the early church, more than the early church, it’s Paul’s team. These people saw it correctly. It’s not that Paul was imprisoned – he discovered that he was in the most blessed position. So what did the man William Barclay record? He described it as Paul enjoying the greatest privilege.

Now, for our new family members, in a way this is too difficult. In a way, this content is on too high a level, right? For people who just want money or food, this content is hard to understand. But I don’t think that way. Because the Holy Spirit works, no matter how difficult the words are, they are understood through the Holy Spirit, right? So sometimes among new family members, there are people who understand the word better than those who have believed for a long time. If your preaching is truly done badly, that’s one thing, but otherwise, don’t be fooled even if a church member says the sermon is too difficult. You must deliver what is in the word. That’s how the work happens.

Main – The pilgrim’s path
Now, you must tell them this. Tell the new family members: from now on, you are walking the pilgrim’s path, right? From now on you are walking the pilgrim’s path. Before, you went your own way without God, but now you are walking the pilgrim’s path. There are three backgrounds to walking the pilgrim’s path.

1.The absolute bartizan – “7 bartizans”

The absolute bartizan – not just a bartizan, but the absolute bartizan – that is what remains for you now. The Triune God works invisibly. What is visible is fake. What is visible is an idol. Christ explained that blessing over 40 days, explaining the power of the throne, right? So he builds a tremendous bartizan – Christ appeared and proved that he was the Christ, and showed the evidence that all was accomplished. He granted the 5 most basic powers. He said he would give power. He gave power to overcome the one who holds the authority of the air. And he gave the power to see the future. And he spoke of the world and the ends of the earth. There, that word includes the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age. This is what causes the new family members to keep praying continually. Doing this brings three great answers along with it.

1)Transcending time and space
Transcending time and space. Prayer transcends time and space, and the word has the creative power to transcend time and space.

2)Unprecedented and unrepeatable
From this point, you must let them know the blessing given only to them. That is called unprecedented and unrepeatable.

3)237 – 5,000
From this point, your work will align with this – 237 nations, 5,000 peoples. Right now, even among the various peoples, people from 5,000 peoples are hearing our message and saying they are so shocked and glad about it. That’s because it is God’s word. It’s not a Home Church message – it’s God’s word – so the Remnant’s studies must be aligned with this. So while submitting resumes is good, they will come to recruit you.

2.The absolute journey – “7 journeys”

Then, with this, you go on a journey – not just any journey, but the absolute journey – and going on it, you can confirm 7 paths. Among these, find at least one – find more if you can, find them. The Triune God is not just working, he is also accomplishing three answers. You must be on that path, right? This power of the throne didn’t just end there – he gave you 10 secrets. You never need to be shaken at all. He gave 10 springboards, and gave 5 assurances of the throne that solve every problem that arises in us humans, right? He spoke of 9 flows of the throne that can change anything. To the person you meet, you give the answer you have, and for that person, it becomes a lifelong answer. That’s why today, sitting in this seat, is the camp of the throne. I am now speaking of the 7 journeys. Enjoying this blessing brings three things.

1)Acceptance
When you enjoy this tremendous blessing, nothing becomes a problem – acceptance, there’s nothing you cannot accept.

3)Transcendence
Why? Transcendence – you don’t get caught up in it. Transcendence, this is an extremely important word.

3)The answer
And why? Because there is an answer. With this, you go on the journey now, you know? There is the answer called Christ. You already carry this answer called the bartizan/journey/guidepost as you go. Rather than doing this all at once, you need to take time with the new family members, one by one, searching the scriptures. It’s not necessary to do it all at once. It’s necessary to go step by step. When you search, read, confirm, and convey the word, tremendous things happen. It is the living word, and at that time, the work of re-creation happens. It’s nearly certain.

3.The guidepost – “7 guideposts”

So you leave a work behind, and that is the absolute guidepost. These 7 guideposts here never change for eternity. The work is still happening even now. The blood covenant of Mt Calvary is still working even now. The fullness of the Holy Spirit and the mission on Mt Olive are still happening even now. The evidence of the Upper Room at Mark’s house is still happening even now. God still uses the Antioch church, gathered from the scattered, even now. So the 1st camp arose, and it was perfectly led by the Holy Spirit. So it is absolute. So the work of overturning and reviving the Nephilim occurred. That’s the 2nd camp. Then finally, Rome. That’s the 3rd camp, the 3rd guidepost. See how that came out? Once this happens, you must tell them what comes even while they simply stay still. These kinds of answers will come in the future.

1)Reproduction
Actually, there’s no need to even manufacture it – if you hold onto this covenant, reproduction keeps happening continually.

2)Monument
Before this happens, and after it happens, you don’t know when. But a monumental blessing happens to you. Even if pastors go slowly, they must do it this way. This is how reproduction keeps happening continually. To put it precisely, that person no longer needs my help. That’s how it must be. Reproduction keeps happening continually. That is the remaining blessing. Once you’ve saved 5,000 peoples, reproduction just keeps happening. The reason it doesn’t happen is that it wasn’t a guidepost. You must help the new family members know these things and prepare their vessel.

3)Footprints
What comes after this? Leaving footprints behind. Many people see these footprints and come back alive because of them.

Now, this is the work of the living word. The pilgrim’s path – this is something that happens to you. This is unnecessary for someone who hasn’t received salvation, right? This content is unnecessary for someone who hasn’t received salvation. No – such a person is going to live like hell and go to hell, so it doesn’t fit them. Also, for someone who isn’t going to pursue world evangelization, this has little meaning. If someone just wants to eat well and live well, then they don’t need to come to church, right? “I’ll eat well, dress well, live in a good house” – then they don’t need to come to church. We now carry this secret, greater than that, and with it we evangelize the world.

Conclusion

Then tell the new family member: start this way even on your own, enjoy this blessing once.

1)Acts 1:3 – 40 days
Now that prayer has been taught, do this with that prayer. You can follow it through in order.

2)Acts 1:14
You must come down and take hold of this once. “Devoting themselves only to prayer” – limited concentration, chosen concentration, oneness concentration that will save everything going forward – this is how the work happens. You must be sure to teach this.

3)Acts 2:1-18
The three festivals – “when the day of Pentecost had fully come” – that day was Pentecost, but emphasizing only Pentecost is also a contradiction. Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles – these three are deeply connected backgrounds together. The Thanksgiving holiday you’ll observe next week is the Feast of Tabernacles, and that is enjoying the backdrop of the throne. This is what happened.

4)Acts 2:42 (Sunday) – answer, imprint, confirmation
Worship must come alive. You must properly prepare for worship – you must teach this to the children too and to new believers too. What is prayer during worship, what is praise, what is the sermon – you must teach these.

5)Acts 2:46-47 (the six days)
To truly restore economic blessing, you must teach what an offering is. So then this word is fulfilled at home, in the field. You must teach Sunday worship well. Never look at anything else on Sunday – don’t even listen to what people say – on Sunday, receive the answer through the word and begin a day-long prayer of imprinting that day. What can be enjoyed during the six days – the subject/theme must be confirmed. This is how you enjoy the six days. After enjoying the six days, you come straight to the service and are struck with impact. Wow – those who can’t make it in person confirm the message. So having attended the core event to open the three-day weekend age that concludes within one week, this becomes the answer again. And then on Sunday, you go to worship again. You must be sure to tell them this. If worship has no power at all, that’s no good. If you go to some churches, the elders are completely caught up in just work. That’s rather pitiable. No answer comes. That’s where the problem lies. The word is not fulfilled. The ability to accomplish world evangelization doesn’t develop. That’s the problem. No matter how excellently someone lives, if world evangelization doesn’t happen, there’s no answer at all in that. The evidence: even to Jews who lived such excellent lives, since they didn’t know this, there was nothing that could be done – “you must go as a slave,” it couldn’t be helped. “You are now too old, no good; send your children into captivity” – they had to go. Such terrifying results come out. Yet even then they didn’t realize it, and they were all scattered as wanderers.

6)Every day, every hour, every task
Enjoy this every day, every hour, every task. Gain strength every day – you must teach this.

7)24, 25, eternity
This is simply doing it as 24, doing it while waiting as 25, doing it while creating an eternal work – this, now, is the conclusion.

Actually, you could roughly get by just praying once a day, but if you do it this way, you truly see the answer. So even now, among people who remain hidden, there are many who receive this answer exactly as it is. That is not the pastor’s sermon – it is the word working alive. The word is living and active – you must remember this. You must convey it with conviction. You are not conveying your own thing. And what mistake do some people make? Mostly the pastors’ wives make this mistake. “You can’t even live according to the word yourself, so why do you preach it so well?” That’s a mistake. We are proclaimers. That doesn’t mean you should live however you want – that’s not the point being made, right? “I can’t live according to the word” – is this an excuse? No. “Can these bones live? Prophesy the word” – that means, don’t speak your own words. Proclaim the word – you cannot give life yourself, so proclaim the breath of life. These tremendous answers came out. Up to this point is the work of the word that you yourselves must first enjoy in order to convey it to the new family members. Let’s rest about 10 minutes, and then, how should new family members understand evangelism?

Let’s take about a 10-minute break.

Prayer

Introduction

The word our new family members, and our members, hear the most is “prayer.” But the thing that is actually hardest to do well is prayer. If that’s the case, how would the new family members be? They are probably living far from prayer because they have to live their daily lives. Most of the members don’t have many people who pray more than they speak, right? You have to change that. Praying more is far more advantageous than speaking more, but that part is not being done well. Jesus taught about prayer from beginning to end. Even at the very last moment, he spoke that way.

Introduction – Important Basic Principles
Now, given that, we, and the new family members as well, first need to understand the important basics about prayer.

1)Concentration (dispersion, attachment, addiction)
First, the important basic thing about prayer is where, on what, and how you concentrate. Because this is prayer, it determines everything. But if you don’t understand this word well, three results come. It becomes scattered. Simply put, from the moment they are born, Remnant are scattered so that they cannot pray. People don’t understand it, but this happens because they are born carrying a terrible original sin. But helping children be able to pray is the greatest service you can give, because of this condition. That’s why you need to know this part – then family members and new believers too will realize, ah, this part is very important – it doesn’t end just there. They become attached to something. Attachment means grabbing onto something wrong, right? Or it refers to holding onto something excessively. That’s what we call attachment, right? Then these two results inevitably lead to addiction to something later. Addicted to games, or some people are addicted to gambling – it inevitably lands on one thing.

2)Brain, soul, throne
So what is the second important basic principle of prayer? It becomes imprinted in our brain, you know? In a certain sense it’s truly frightening. If you don’t teach prayer correctly, you have to think it’s actually very dangerous in a certain sense. You should think about this comfortably now – there are people who attend worship while in prayer even now, and there are people who just attend. There’s a huge difference. When someone gives a representative prayer, for example when the elders pray, right? At that time, the difference between you participating together in prayer and just listening to the prayer is enormous. For you to worship in the midst of prayer becomes the best medicine. It connects this way. It connects to the brain, the soul, and the throne.

3)The Holy Trinity, the breath of the soul, the breath of the flesh
Next, prayer is not just these things – the last important thing is communication with the Triune God. It is the breath of the soul. It’s not just that it reaches up to God – my soul communicates with God and comes alive. People only know these two, so they can’t feel something. Prayer is also the breath that revives the flesh. If you don’t teach this third point, actual diseases in the body will not be healed. This is the important basic principle of prayer. So if you just think carefully about this alone, you’ll know what to train people in. So it’s been confirmed that in America, they lock up drug addicts, and once a week they make them do physical exercise, and once a week they make them go fishing without fail. So in order to fish, you have to concentrate. Though that seems like nothing at all, the brain gradually begins to heal. It’s an extremely important word. So on the market you can find many books like “The Power of Concentration.” The more moments of prayer-concentration you have, the more this comes alive. So actually, the important teachers and rabbis did this. If you don’t understand this, you cannot live in community. That’s why in Israel, people move depending on where a good rabbi is. Now, you need to explain this principle to new family members first. You too must understand the principle first.

Spiritual work, the throne, the bondage of darkness – what’s even more important is that while you are praying like this, the spiritual work of the Triune God is definitely happening right now. It’s more important precisely because it’s invisible. That’s why people who are caught in the work of evil spirits are all hard to deal with, because it’s invisible. At this time, the work of the throne definitely occurs. Right now, while you are holding onto God’s word, while you are praying, the work of the throne, the kingdom of God, that work is being accomplished. So you must realize that nothing is more important than prayer. Right now, at this very moment, even without going anywhere, darkness is being broken.

Peace/happiness/strength – So what conclusion should come out of this? Praying must become very comfortable. If breathing isn’t comfortable, you have lung disease, right? There was a person with lung cancer who came to have a consultation with me, from Daegu. He couldn’t breathe. He wanted to talk so badly that he bought a ticket and timed it to meet the train I was coming down on. He couldn’t speak properly. I thought, so this is what lung cancer looks like – to the point where I thought, this person is going to have a hard time living, that’s how unable to breathe he was. In the end, prayer must be the most comfortable and the happiest thing. I taught that – you must gain peace through prayer, be happy through prayer, and gain strength through prayer – I’m explaining the whole thing according to the principle. If this has become true for you as well, then you understand prayer. If it becomes like this, then you know prayer. Also, a more important part – a crisis could come tomorrow, right? I might see that work is going to become difficult, this could happen. But today, right now, you must be happy. Then the future changes. Right? This is what prayer is. Through prayer I gain strength and become happy. So try experiencing it just once. Whether it works or not, just try it once.

You know, the biggest wounds are not received from outside. They are received at home. Also, in a certain sense, if you investigate people who are wounded, unexpectedly the most common source is parents. Unexpectedly, it’s because of family that people get hurt.

①Genesis 37:1-11, so what did Joseph do at this time? He began to pray. This young Joseph, having nothing else he could do, began to pray, and a worldwide message came upon him. You need to look at the new family members and tell them this. Try it once – concentrate and pray to God!

②Exodus 2:1-10, this is the prayer that Jochebed, who found a way to live in the midst of crisis, offered while holding onto Moses. Even if you were in this position, you would do the same. You have to send off your children and the many disciples who were with you, and this is the prayer offered before sending them off. So you all must be within this blessing. So the new family members must hear your stories and come to fully and comfortably understand prayer. But if you are enjoying this blessing, you will immediately know a person who does not pray. You can feel it, right? You think, this person doesn’t really know prayer and doesn’t do it – sometimes you notice that even after decades of faith life, a person has never truly learned to pray at all. What is most important to us? Work is important too. But if this isn’t working, how can church members live? Of course, you have to make money too. That’s now a universally accepted symbol, so it’s necessary. But without the power of this blessing, a person cannot live on that alone.

③1 Samuel 3:1-19, if your children become like this, they will definitely succeed, right? While praying as a child, he heard God’s voice and confirmed the word. When new family members hear things like this, they should think, ah, I too really need to have a time like that.

④Psalm 78:70-72, isn’t this a familiar part even about David in Psalm 78? Here we see that while he was a shepherd – a shepherd anyone could be – when the animals came, anyone could throw a stone to fend them off. That wasn’t unique to David. But David had a timetable here through which his future became fixed. Actually, this is essential for our Remnant. If this happens while young, this is essential, yet 99.9% are missing it. That’s why you all who are here today are so important. You may have other important things too, but none of that matters. You must find this (Introduction) first, quickly. If you fail to find this (Introduction), you have to live every day like an unbeliever. At that level – and if you just stay still like that, not only the new family members but our future generations will have to go out and run errands for the world. There’s no need to even ask. Without a doubt, they will be running errands. Without a doubt, they will be running errands for the world and Satan. Where is there such an unjust thing? Our future generations should receive answers and lead the world, instead of going out every day to run errands for the world.

⑤Daniel 1:8-9, a crisis can come too. It doesn’t matter. Daniel resolved in his heart. This is prayer. You must teach this. When a big, important moment on the timetable came, he didn’t try to just solve it. He resolved in his heart.

⑥Acts 1:14, the last thing you must tell them is that Jesus’s final mission was given on Mt Olive. There, all the important matters came out. There I found the bartizan/journey/guidepost. As I kept praying about that, it was revealed all the way to 777. Right now, answers are continuously coming within that. Holding onto this covenant, and devoting himself only to prayer – that was a complete decision. What happened after this? That’s when the work happened in the Upper Room at Mark’s house.

I believe that the blessing you all need most here is this (Introduction). I believe this (Introduction) is the part you must plant and convey to the new family members. And I believe this is content that must without fail be conveyed to our future generations. You know, there are many people who attended church and then quit, right? There are also many people who did Home Church and then quit. From the beginning until now, there’s nothing else to it – it’s this (Introduction) not being achieved. Your church too – people can’t stay in one place long, they come and go, right? In the end, everything else is just an excuse. It’s all excuses and lies. The characteristic of these people is that this (Introduction) is not achieved. There are many excuses. The pastor is like this, the elder is like that – all of that is just excuses. Because this (Introduction) isn’t achieved, a husband and wife cannot communicate the same way, right? But if one of the couple has this (Introduction) achieved, there’s no problem at all. But if neither has it, then both fail to have this (Introduction). So then all that’s left is conflict. For people whose conflict becomes too severe, when old wounds collide with their own wounds, they get divorced. So you all are new family ministers, but this is needed not just for new family members – it’s needed for everyone.

Main – So then, what should be done?
This is important. You need to know the factors that prevent this from happening and remove them. This part is necessary, but there is a cause behind why it isn’t happening. You need to remove that cause. First: ①Changing the imprint. If this is achieved, the answer has already come out, so it’s easily understood. Changing the imprint, and therefore ②changing the root. This must be done without fail. ③Changing the constitution.

1.Changing the imprint

What is changing the imprint?

1)Satan’s 12 strategies
Satan has given 12 strategies, you know? People are caught in this. This is what’s imprinted. Does this happen even to saved people? Yes. For example, people who have long served as shamans understand the gospel better. They completely grasp the covenant of Jesus Christ. What do you need to help with? That person has many things imprinted. It’s agonizing. It’s imprinted, you know?

2)The 5 kinds of darkness in the church
And people who attend church also have darkness that has infiltrated the church, right? 5 kinds – they get easily imprinted, so you need to change them.

3)Nation, family lineage, household, individual
Then there are spiritual problems in any nation. This needs to be changed. You meet many multi-ethnic people, right? The good points of that nation should be preserved, but there is a spiritual problem in that nation. That is imprinted. It doesn’t end there – the spiritual problem of the family lineage is passed down as is, right? In a certain sense, even if this can’t be changed, it’s enough if it’s understood. This has carried through the household and come to the individual.

Wound/springboard – So completely turn it into a springboard and change it. It’s absolutely one or the other. Is it a wound, or a springboard? Choose – is it a wound, or a springboard? This wound keeps growing, so it eventually becomes strange. What is the final goal of a wound? Mental illness. The characteristic of people who have lost their mind is not that people are bad – it’s not that. They carry enormous wounds all by themselves. Eventually, everything looks like a wound to them. Then they’ve fallen into that illness. Everything looks like a wound. But everything is a springboard. What was the covenant I grasped as a child, the word of God I held onto? “I am not that.” That’s what I grasped. I saw our parents suffer a lot, you know? “No.” I saw many people live powerlessly because they couldn’t live a good life of faith at church, right? You must not be deceived. “I am not that” – how could it be right that I can’t evangelize, that I can’t save people, that I can’t even save myself? That would be wrong. You must absolutely do this.

2.Changing the root

From this point, the root begins to change.

1)Public ministry
When changing the root, you must explain Jesus’s public ministry. In a word, what is it? It overturned what the Jews had rooted for a long time. Those who realize this bring about world evangelization, but most don’t realize it. They fail to realize it to the point of crucifying Jesus. It’s a terrifying thing. Look at everything Jesus taught, just once. All of it is changing the root. So you can tell the new family members everything, but it’s enough to tell them what is relevant to them. You must do this without fail. Everyone has it, you know? Simply put, how much did the Jews carry not just the strengths of the Sabbath, but the disease surrounding the Sabbath? Jesus touched that disease, right? He told the sick man to pick up his mat and go home on the Sabbath. The Jews criticized him for that, right? So what did Jesus teach during his three years of public ministry? He completely changed the root.

2)John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13
And you must tell them this without fail. This is what Jesus said right before his final departure. Do not let your hearts be troubled – this is what he said at the very last moment. Believe in God so do not be troubled, and believe in me so do not be troubled, there is the backdrop of the throne so do not be troubled – and then he stated the conclusion. If I go, this Helper, the Holy Spirit, will come upon you and remain forever – the important word there is “in my name.” In verse 26, it says this: I will ask the Father, and when the Helper, the Holy Spirit, comes upon you, he will make you understand all things; when the Spirit of truth comes upon you, he will guide you into all truth – and then the important word is that he will make you know things to come. In fact, this settles it. You must change the root. Many messages are needed, but you must tell them what Jesus himself directly said.

3)The final teaching – 777 (300%)
What is the more important root? It was the final teaching. Here the root is completely changed. That’s this – explaining the bartizan/journey/guidepost. So when you are filled with the Holy Spirit, you will receive power – being filled with the Holy Spirit can be explained this way. It means receiving a 300% answer. The Holy Spirit will completely guide you, right? The Holy Spirit will make you completely victorious in the field, the Holy Spirit will take complete responsibility for your future – this is important.

3.Changing the constitution

Now, what’s next? Changing the constitution. You need to change the constitution. You must tell them this without fail here.

1)Every day – 3 concentrations, 3 settings, 3 answers
Every single day, you must gain strength. (1)3 concentrations – you must gain strength every day. Then (2)3 settings will happen. (3)3 answers will come. You must tell them this as essential. Even 5 minutes, even 1 minute, is fine. Concentrate 3 times a day. Just with this alone, works begin to happen for new believers.

2)Every hour (meaning)
And what else? You must teach the blessing of every hour. What is “every hour”? I concentrate every day, but what is “every hour”? You must teach this to new family members, and teach it to future generations. Right now you are sitting here. What is this? Evangelizing 237 nations and saving 5,000 peoples – evangelistic disciples have gathered right now for this purpose. You need to confirm that. Every hour – it’s extremely important. It’s even better if you confirm it with Bible verses. Even without doing that, every hour – simply put, it’s finding the meaning that God has given. Every hour, enjoying what God has given. So what I always say – not necessarily always, but – I exercise almost once every hour. Why? Because that was originally given by God. Find it, I say.

3)Every task (work at 300%)
I mentioned this earlier, right? Every task – this 300% spiritual power actually goes into your work. Every task – here you need to teach three habits. Habit. Editing/designing/design – these must become habits. Editing/designing/design – this is extremely important. With these habits, 300% comes out. Now, as you all enjoy this, and teach it to the new family members, and pass it down to future generations – the most important thing is this (Introduction). Among you, there will be someone who ultimately doesn’t achieve this. Check yourself. If this (Introduction) doesn’t work for someone, they ultimately won’t succeed. Among you, there will be people who succeed even though everyone says it can’t be done, right? Everyone says it can’t be done, but it happens. What is that exactly? That’s the person for whom this (Introduction) works. Now then, for new family members, what’s more important than money, more important than health, is this (Introduction).

Conclusion: When?

So we must draw a conclusion. Now, this has come out as to how it should be done, and we must draw the conclusion. When, is the question. The conclusion is “when.” This (the Main section) was about “how”; this (the Conclusion) is about “when.” When should we pray? Many people ask this question. So as you know, since the answer has already come out, the most important part about prayer comes out. You must be able to pray anywhere, right? That’s prayer. When should it be done? It should be being done right now. This is the conclusion that must come out. This may seem like nothing, but some things turn into a 100-year answer, and some things turn into a 1,000-year answer, right? So you must make sure they arrive at the exact answer. This, now, is the conclusion.

1)Acts 1:1,3,8
Only Christ, only the Kingdom of God, only the Holy Spirit – tell them this.

2)Mt Calvary, Mt Olive, the Upper Room at Mark’s house
This covenant happened on Mt Calvary. This covenant was fulfilled on Mt Olive. This covenant was accomplished in the Upper Room at Mark’s house. Isn’t that right? This is the standard.

3)Heaven’s calling, calling, mission
When should it be done? It’s now. Holding onto this covenant, it changed into heaven’s calling, calling, and mission.

4)Naturally, inevitably, absolutely
Many people ask. What should be done? Naturally/inevitably/absolutely – do it naturally/inevitably/absolutely, or pray, and the answer comes.

5)Single-mindedness, wholeheartedness, persistence
Many people ask. Single-mindedness/wholeheartedness/persistence – it’s simply this. This is all one thing. One thing. When? Now!

6)24, 25, eternity
Many people think fixed-time prayer is important in a certain sense, but it isn’t that important. Fixed-time prayer is what beginners do. True masters live 24/25/eternity.

7)Only, uniqueness, re-creation
How is it done? Only/uniqueness/re-creation – that’s the direction it goes.

8)Imprint, root, constitution
So then what happens? In the end, the Main point comes out. Imprint, from this, root, from this, constitution – who can stop this? No one can stop it.

When training new family members, especially, you must gather them, give them this message, and train them. This is not repetition. It is not imitating someone. That is truly ignorant talk from someone who doesn’t understand life. This is confirming God’s word and even holding forums together – it is not imitation. You can take the pastor’s message exactly as it is and read it to them just as it is. Is that imitation? Those who truly have no life only speak lifeless words. That’s not it. What is it, then? You can give water to a living tree. A living tree can be rained on every day in the mountains. That’s not difficult for it. It comes alive. If you water a dead tree every day, it rots quickly. Isn’t that so? How wonderful is this sun, with so many good things? For a living tree, it becomes energy, you know? For a dead tree, the sun completely dries it out. You all must take this exactly as it is and pass it on, and that person passes it on again – it is absolutely not imitation. This blessing must begin with you now and be passed down to future generations forever. Let’s pray.

Prayer
We thank you, God. We must save many new family members, future generations, and church members. Please let us gain true strength today. Please let us enjoy the 24-hour power.
We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.

A True Insurance Policy for Life in the Kingdom of Heaven

Sunday 1st Service Worship
Title/Scripture: A True Insurance Policy for Life in the Kingdom of Heaven (Mark 9:2-8)
Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-soo
Date/Location: July 17, 2022, Immanuel Church (Busan)

Mark 9:2-8

After six days Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses, who were talking with Jesus.

Peter said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” (He did not know what to say, they were so frightened.)

Then a cloud appeared and covered them, and a voice came from the cloud: “This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!”

Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.

Summary

▣ Introduction

1. Background of the text – Six days after Peter’s confession of faith (verse 2), Jesus took only Peter, James, and John up the mount of transfiguration, and Jesus’ clothes shone with radiance and became extremely white. Elijah and Moses, representative figures of Israel, were together with him. Then Peter said he would build three shelters, one for Elijah, one for Moses, and one for the Lord. At that moment a cloud overshadowed them and a voice came from heaven. “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.” And when they looked, Elijah had disappeared and Moses had disappeared, and only Christ remained.

2. A turning point to be held onto for a lifetime – my mount of transfiguration

1) Poverty – God is the Creator. This is about changing the idea that because we are poor we cannot do the Lord’s work.

2) Sickness – He is the almighty God. We must change the idea that being caught in many sicknesses means we can do nothing.

3) Incompetence – If it is a powerless church that cannot carry out the evangelism movement, it is a church that is not needed. This must be changed.

3. Building a shelter for Christ – the most important insurance policy for the kingdom of heaven in my life

▣ Main_ Build a tabernacle solely for Christ. – Make a resolution for your life.

1. Discover God’s absolute plan by looking at myself in absolute impossibility.

▷ For Peter to build three tabernacles was absolutely impossible. He saw God’s absolute plan on the mount of transfiguration.

1) Joseph (Remnant), who discovered God’s absolute plan from the very beginning

2) The figures of Hebrews chapter 11 who discovered God’s absolute plan

3) The three things Peter discovered

(1) Matthew 16:16 “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

(2) Mark 9:5 “I will build a tabernacle for you, for Elijah, and for Moses.”

(3) 1 Peter 2:9 “You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s chosen people, called to proclaim this light.”

▷ Make a resolution for your life. Discover God’s absolute plan. It must become a turning point that changes my life. I am absolutely incapable, but I will absolutely discover the plan God gives. When this happens, then in every area it appears this way. Should not your occupation, your studies, and your work be used for world evangelization?

2. Acknowledge absolute incompetence and believe in God’s absolute answer.

1) Calvary, Mt Olive, the Mark’s upper room, and world evangelization remain.

2) It cannot be done by the law of Moses or the power of Elijah. It is possible only by the power of the light of Christ. Believe in the absolute answer.

3) I will turn the three hells (poverty, sickness, incompetence) into the kingdom of heaven (God’s absolute plan). It cannot be done by my own strength. It is possible through the absolute answer God gives.

3. Though there is much persecution and hardship, I will follow God’s absolute journey.

1) 237 – Let us build a temple where the 237 nations can come and be transformed.

2) Healing – a church that builds a system where the sick can come and be healed

▷ Doctors in our church must step forward and prepare for world healing.

3) Summit – Build a church system that can save the next generation.

▣ Conclusion_ Pass through the mount of transfiguration.

1. Take hold of the covenant to build a tabernacle for Christ.

2. All believers must pass through the mount of transfiguration.

1) It is discovering God’s absolute plan in the midst of my incompetence.

2) It is believing God’s absolute answer in the midst of my reality.

3) It is following God’s absolute journey along the dark road that lies ahead.

▷ Samaria was transformed, and many church leaders rose up in Antioch and the work of dispatching missionaries to the world for the first time began. This is the resolution to be made first.

3. Make a resolution for your life – give your life to God.

▷ It is that the next generation comes here, knows Christ, is healed, prepares for the summit, prepares to save the world, and sets up a platform, a watch bartizan, and an antenna, while we go around the field. Make the resolution that lays your whole life down to prepare a turning point for your life. God will surely give the grace to build the healing and the summit that will save the 237 nations.

Transcript

Over the past week I watched all the videos of you praying. I also watched all the testimonies and confessions of our elders. To be honest, it might sound strange to call it the greatest, but I was blessed to that degree. It’s probably about the same for pastors. No matter how lacking in ability I am, when I see the members and church leaders remaining within the covenant and receiving grace, it gives me strength. No matter how capable a pastor may be, when I see that the members are not within the covenant but standing before people, I truly lose strength. So I was so blessed that I sent it to other churches too. Mostly to churches that are fighting, I sent it. “Look. Hey, our church’s elders are like this. Take a look.” That’s the kind of thing it was. That’s how I sent it out.

▣ Introduction

1. Background of the text

Today’s text is an extremely important text. You need to ride the flow of the Word this way. It says “after six days” in verse 2. What is that? It’s right after Peter confessed his faith and Jesus blessed him. Six days after that. Jesus took only three of the disciples—Peter, James, and John—and went up the mount of transfiguration. Here today it says “a high mountain.” When they went there, Jesus’ face suddenly shone with radiance. It shone to the point of being blinding, unbearably so. Looking at his clothes, they saw him wearing white clothes, radiant, whiter than anyone’s laundry could ever compare to. Peter, seeing this, was greatly startled, and what startled him even more was that two figures representing Israel, Moses and Elijah, were there together with him. So Peter said he would build three shelters, for Elijah, for Moses, and for the Lord. At that moment, events like a cloud suddenly occurred, and a voice came from heaven. “This is my beloved Son, listen only to him.” And when they looked, Elijah had disappeared and Moses had disappeared, and only Christ remained. It’s not just content. What is it?

2. A turning point to be held onto for a lifetime – my mount of transfiguration

He gave us a turning point to hold onto for a lifetime. This is today’s answer for you and for me. It’s exactly the turning point given to carry for a whole lifetime. In a sense, you could call it a beginning. I came to see the blessing of this mount of transfiguration 40 years ago.

1) Poverty – God is the Creator. This is about changing the idea that because we are poor we cannot do the Lord’s work.

I saw that our church and the people around us were too poor. Of course, poverty is not a sin. But that is not the same as saying that because of it I ruin everything and cannot do the Lord’s work.

2) Sickness – He is the almighty God. We must change the idea that being caught in many sicknesses means we can do nothing.

When I was young, the second thing I saw was many people suffering in sickness. Of course, anyone can get sick. But it is not right for an entire family line to remain that way for a lifetime because of it.

3) Incompetence – If it is a powerless church that cannot carry out the evangelism movement, it is a church that is not needed. This must be changed.

And lastly, what I saw was incompetence. Unable to evangelize. I saw those three things. I took hold of that as a covenant, and changing it was my mount of transfiguration. The answer came exactly as I hoped. Because God is the Creator God, he would change the idea that being poor means we cannot do the Lord’s work. Because God is the almighty God, the idea that we are caught in incurable diseases and many illnesses and can do nothing must be changed, that’s it. If it is a powerless church that cannot carry out the evangelism movement, isn’t it a church that is not needed? That must be changed, that’s it. That was my mount of transfiguration. The answer came exactly as I hoped. As you know, our entire cell group evangelism movement has never once stopped because of finances. God has never once, not a single time, kept me from evangelizing because of sickness. At that time, listening to your prayers and testimonies, I was so happy. ‘Wow, is there any greater blessing than having elders like this? Truly, God has restored to me the blessing of this evangelism.’ I took hold of this covenant.

3. Building a shelter for Christ – the most important insurance policy for the kingdom of heaven in my life

We are now finally about to begin, next week. As we begin the pledge offering for the building of the temple, God gave me this word today. Peter said, “I will build three shelters.” This is a tremendous statement. In the end, it means, “You don’t need Elijah or Moses, build a shelter for Christ.” Because everything is contained within that. I came to realize this. When we take out medical insurance, don’t we receive benefits? We receive benefits when we go to the hospital for treatment. It’s a truly good system. Also, when we take out car insurance, don’t we get help when an accident happens? It’s a truly good system. I thought, ‘Building a shelter for Christ is the most important insurance policy for the kingdom of heaven in my life.’

Today we must take hold of this covenant and go forward, and we must be free from incompetence, poverty, and every sickness, but what should we take hold of? Today Peter and the disciples took hold of what conglomerate owners could not see, what kings could not obtain. How can we take hold of this answer? They said, “I will build a tabernacle for you, for Moses, and for Elijah.”

▣ Main_ Build a tabernacle solely for Christ. – Make a resolution for your life.

So God took hold of this covenant: “You don’t need three people, build a tabernacle only for Christ.” Today you must take hold of three things without fail.

1. Discover God’s absolute plan by looking at myself in absolute impossibility.

This is the first. Me, who is in absolute impossibility. Right? You must see this first. Me, who is in absolute impossibility. Someone like Peter, and like me. He discovered God’s absolute plan. The first thing is discovery.

If today you discover God’s absolute plan, in the midst of my incompetence, you must confess honestly. We can do nothing. Peter had no ability to build three shelters, three tabernacles. He knows his own absolutely impossible existence. On this mount of transfiguration he saw something tremendous. He discovered God’s absolute plan. “I will build shelters.” That’s what came out. Now, this is important. What must you discover first in your life? It is discovering God’s absolute plan. Where from? From within my own absolute impossibility.

1) Joseph (Remnant), who discovered God’s absolute plan from the very beginning

Let me give an example. This is the flow of Scripture. Joseph was placed in a situation where he couldn’t even maintain his own life, let alone world evangelization. Right? Joseph was being sold as a slave, and there was no one who could stop it. He didn’t even know where he was being taken. Do you know what slavery was like back then? It’s different now. He was dragged along like an animal. He couldn’t even wash his face. Because they were dragged along like animals, treated so harshly, you couldn’t even tell someone’s age. They couldn’t even wash properly, being dragged along like that. So when pricing a slave, don’t they check the teeth? They calculated by looking at that. If there were no teeth at all, then the price would be cheap. If the teeth were strong and plentiful, then it would be expensive. They calculated that way. Who could stop this? From the very start Joseph discovered God’s absolute plan. This is Remnant.

2) The figures of Hebrews chapter 11 who discovered God’s absolute plan

All the figures of Hebrews chapter 11 were like this.

3) The three things Peter discovered

You are weak, but what Peter discovered here is a tremendous world. What is it?

(1) Matthew 16:16

Among what Peter discovered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” That’s what Peter discovered.

(2) Mark 9:5

In today’s text, “I will build three tabernacles for you, for Elijah, and for Moses.”

(3) 1 Peter 2:9

Do you know what he later confessed in 1 Peter 2:9? What he discovered. “You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s chosen people, called to proclaim this light.” Take hold of this today.

Starting next week, don’t just make a resolution, but make a resolution for your life. Discover God’s absolute plan. It must be changed. You must have such a schedule. It must not simply be, “Well, worldly people, many churches build a temple this way and get tested by it.” You must not do that. It must not be that you go through trials just from building a temple. It must become the turning point that changes my life. That is the first. Right? To do that means, “I am absolutely incapable, but I will absolutely discover the plan God gives.” This must become your first prayer. Right? Then, in every area it appears this way, doesn’t it? Shouldn’t your work also be for world evangelization? Right? Shouldn’t your occupation, your studies, your work be used for world evangelization? What is it, if not that, just to receive a paycheck? Anyone can do that. Someone doing day labor day after day also earns a living that way. This word of God, when you think of it now, may sound like an ordinary statement, but at that time it was a tremendous thing for Peter. Peter, who had nothing, said, “For you, I will now build three shelters for Elijah and Moses.” That’s what came out.

2. Acknowledge absolute incompetence and believe in God’s absolute answer.

This is the second. We must acknowledge absolute incompetence. But we believe God’s absolute answer. What was the first? Discovery. What is the second? Belief.

1) Calvary, Mt Olive, the Mark’s upper room, and world evangelization remain.

The reason God called his disciples to the mount of transfiguration is because something tremendous remained. You must remember this. Don’t be discouraged. What called you was leaving behind something tremendous. It remains. Calvary, Mt Olive, the Mark’s upper room, world evangelization—it all remains, in full. Here on the mount of transfiguration he called them, and on this incredibly high mountain he showed them the radiant face and appearance of Jesus.

2) It cannot be done by the law of Moses or the power of Elijah. It is possible only by the power of the light of Christ. Believe in the absolute answer.

It cannot be done by the law of Moses or by Elijah’s power. He discovered that it is possible only through the power of the shining light of Christ. So believe in the absolute answer. In that scene. Christ alone—this way, Elijah and Moses are all included. In your life, it must always be this way, but let this become the turning point. Truly do it once.

3) I will turn the three hells (poverty, sickness, incompetence) into the kingdom of heaven (God’s absolute plan). It cannot be done by my own strength. It is possible through the absolute answer God gives.

I have seen so much from childhood that I can’t even finish telling those testimonies. I can’t testify about them. I really haven’t testified. I couldn’t. It was too miserable, and our country’s circumstances were like that, and our home was like that too, it wasn’t even something you could put into words—the church, complete hell. When I was young there were three places of hell. Below our house, because of the Korean War, we were so poor that we ate American canned food handouts and stacked the cans. Flies buzzed there, and the smell of food. It was hell, absolute hell. When I came home, my father was always sick. It was hell, absolute hell. That’s what I saw as a child. I went to church—they always fought. This was truly hell. I made a decision. ‘God, I will turn these three places of hell into heaven.’ Why? Because it is God’s plan. Because this is God’s absolute plan. Right? So it cannot be done by my own strength. It is possible through the absolute answer God gives. That’s the second thing.

All of you, resolve yourselves. Look around you. This must be done. Starting now. It’s not simply “let’s build the temple.” That’s not even close. The next generation will all perish otherwise. It must be done. Though it is absolute incompetence, Peter believed the absolute answer at that time.

3. Though there is much persecution and hardship, I will follow God’s absolute journey.

This is the last, the third. What resolution is being made? Though it is true that persecution arises and there is much hardship, it is a resolution to follow God’s absolute journey. And so, starting from Calvary, Mt Olive, the Mark’s upper room, tremendous works began to happen.

1) 237 – Let us build a temple where the 237 nations can come and be transformed.

Let us build such a temple. All of you, let us build a temple where the 237 nations can come and be transformed. Dancing, playing, all that is important, but in some sense it’s not needed. Build a temple that transforms people. Be thorough about this from now on.

2) Healing – a church that builds a system where the sick can come and be healed

A church that has built a system where the sick can come and be healed. We will make this certain. Preparations are going well in Seoul. Our doctor-elders must step forward more. In Seoul, doctors are stepping up and preparing thoroughly. There is much work ahead of you in this era. Our church has many good doctors. You all must prepare for world healing. That’s how it should be. Build the church that way. Because it’s urgent.

3) Summit – Build a church system that can save the next generation.

What is even more important? What do you think? The next generation is all dying, right now. “Oh, why is my child like this?” This is not the level of being discouraged. This is God’s message. The whole world is dying. Build a church system that can save them.

▣ Conclusion_ Pass through the mount of transfiguration.

1. Take hold of the covenant to build a tabernacle for Christ.

You may stake your life on it. I will build a tabernacle for Christ. I will build a tabernacle for Christ, who needs neither Moses nor Elijah. Take hold of this covenant.

2. All believers must pass through the mount of transfiguration.

All believers must pass through the mount of transfiguration. Right? This is the finish. This is the beginning. Those of you today whose prayers have not been answered don’t need to struggle so hard. Pass through the mount of transfiguration. Those of you who will truly do business going forward, you must not skip this while preparing everything else. Pass through the mount of transfiguration.

Simply put, what is it? Why must we pass through the mount of transfiguration? Discover the absolute plan. Take hold of the absolute answer. That’s it. Follow God’s absolute journey. This is the mount of transfiguration. Peter’s confession was a condensed expression of this. Jesus actually showed it to them. Look, in the radiant light and the cloud, God’s voice, and Moses and Elijah both disappear—hasn’t the answer already come out? It’s not even at that level. Samaria is transformed. At last, in Antioch, many church leaders rise up and for the first time in the world send out missionaries. This kind of thing began to happen. Make this resolution first.

1) It is discovering God’s absolute plan in the midst of my incompetence.

It is discovering God’s absolute plan in the midst of my incompetence.

2) It is believing God’s absolute answer in the midst of my reality.

It is discovering God’s absolute answer in the midst of my reality. It is believing it. Right? Don’t worry.

3) It is following God’s absolute journey along the dark road that lies ahead.

It is following God’s absolute journey along the dark road that lies ahead. That’s what this is saying.

3. Make a resolution for your life – give your life to God.

It does not end with making a resolution next Sunday. You must make a resolution for your life. Over and over.

I have been praying and preparing myself this way all along. “God, how much longer can I live from now on?” That’s the prayer I began. “My beloved elders, until when will we be able to be together?” Without fail, in the era of 2030 to 2080, we will not be here. Now, you must make a resolution laying down your life.

Because people keep talking about a hundred-year lifespan these days, I can’t know for certain whether I myself will make it to a hundred. So as I kept praying that way, one more conviction came to me. ‘Shouldn’t I devote 30 years?’ It’s not that I’ll stand at the pulpit for 30 more years, which might feel tedious to you. ‘Shouldn’t I prepare for those 30 years? Then how should I prepare?’

‘How much do you go around and spend, how much do we enjoy? Cut that down, and resolve for 30 years.’ That was the answer that came.

You know how it is. There are wealthy neighborhoods. I’ve been to wealthy neighborhoods and I’ve been to poor neighborhoods too. Those who live in poverty, like me, don’t realize something—people in poor neighborhoods spend far more on snacks. Fruit vendors have told me this. If produce isn’t selling quickly, they take it to a poor neighborhood. In wealthy neighborhoods, nothing sells at all.

You all, believers, seminary students, evangelists, say you have no money, right? But you spend far more in allowance. Once, long ago, I said to Pastor Jo Eun-taek, “You need to cut down your stomach. Cut down your stomach and give offerings. Can you see your shoes?” I asked him. I couldn’t see his shoes. (gesturing at a protruding belly) Like this. We eat that much, and then we say we can’t give offerings. That we have nothing. That’s a lie. Give your life to God, that’s what this is about. How the temple begins and how it ends—that is up to God, and I am the one who makes the resolution for my life before God. Even so, our elders’ faith is remarkable. What I said was, “Since we can’t burden the congregation, let’s build modestly according to what offerings come in.” That’s the kind of thinking I had. But the elders of Immanuel Busan are remarkable. They said we need a hundred billion won. That’s what the elders said. I never said it, never instructed it. They say we need a hundred billion won.

Wow, if it comes to this, your faith is three times greater than mine, wow, this is really something… Thinking quietly about it, to evangelize the world, that makes sense. Put simply, that means a thousand units of a hundred million won each need to come together. Isn’t that right? That decision—Yewon went first, Yewon started the hundred-billion-won movement.

At that moment this message came to me clearly. That’s right. Let’s set up a thousand platforms within our church. On top of that, let’s mount a watch bartizan. A thousand of them. And at the very top of each, set up an antenna. Whether working together or alone, however many platforms are built, it doesn’t matter. We are laying our whole lives on the altar before God.

And here, let the 237 healing summit disciples come, and I will now go with the church leaders and Remnant to the evangelism field, the mission field. Our building committee chairman elder said something that struck my heart deeply. He truly said he wanted to finish building the temple and then go out to evangelize together with our evangelists. That’s right. I truly want to settle this and, in the remaining years of my life, preach the gospel and evangelize. This truly struck my heart.

What shall we do—it is that the next generation comes here, knows Christ, is healed, prepares for the summit, prepares to save the world, and sets up a platform, a watch bartizan, and an antenna here, while we go around the field again. So lay down your whole life and make the resolution now, this turning point, for your life. God will surely give the grace to build the healing and summit that will save the 237 nations.

I bless you today in the name of the Lord Jesus, that from now on you will take hold of the true covenant of passing through the mount of transfiguration. Let us pray.

Prayer

We truly thank you, God. Let this become the mount of transfiguration where we see your absolute plan. Because we have no ability, let this become the mount of transfiguration where we see your absolute answer. Because we truly have no strength, let this become the beginning of the mount of transfiguration where we go on your absolute journey. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The First Temple the Lord Gave

2026.08.30 Sunday 2nd Service
Sanctuary Construction Dedicatory Service
The First Temple the Lord Gave (Exodus 23:14-17)

Summary

If one remains within the 7·7·7 covenant, the works of God that must happen will happen. This is when the word begins to be fulfilled. It looks as though the building of the temple was delayed, but it was not. It was through the fulfillment of the word that the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age were discovered.

Exodus 23:14-17 “The Temple First Given”

The greatest blessing from the exodus out of Egypt was the three feasts. We must build a temple that has these three feasts. We are building the temple in order to proclaim this blessing to the whole world.

■ Introduction — What He Gave (the three feasts) — We must enjoy what God has given.

We came out set free through the blood covenant. We passed through the wilderness journey by the power of Pentecost. World evangelization happens against the backdrop of the Feast of Ingathering.

1. Bartizan within me — 7·7·7
Through 7·7·7, keep on praying to first build a bartizan within me (Passover).

2. The path ahead of me — the throne’s journey
He opens the path ahead of me. This is called the throne’s journey (Pentecost).

3. The future on the path — the throne’s guidepost
As you walk the path, the future comes into view. This is the throne’s guidepost (the Feast of Ingathering).

■ Main

1. The power of the throne (worship — temple)
Build a temple where you can worship and enjoy the power of the throne.
1) The miracle of Passover (Egypt) — Egypt was overcome. All the darkness of Egypt was brought down.
2) Pentecost (the wilderness) — the wilderness was conquered.
3) The Feast of Ingathering (Canaan) — the land of Canaan itself was conquered.
▷ This covenant reaches into Egypt, the wilderness, and even the land of Canaan. We thought we were merely suffering in the wilderness, but it was melting the hearts of the seven nations. The hardships that come to you will remain as evidence. There is nothing to worry about, because God’s covenant is always fulfilled.

2. The footsteps left by the people of the throne — leave behind the footsteps that the people of the throne will walk.
1) Jochebed — she took hold of one covenant precisely, and it changed the world.
2) Jethro received the same blessing.
3) Rahab
4) Joshua — he saw the works of God that had happened to Moses. “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I have already given you the land of Canaan.”
5) Caleb — at the crucial moment, he did the errand asked of him.
▷ We must have confidence and be bold. It is knowing this blessing, worshiping, and praying. The building of the temple for world evangelization is already complete. What happens along the way is history.

3. The temple for the next generation, for the world — build the temple for the next generation that will deliver the gospel to the next generation and the world.
1) Numbers 14:1-10 — to save the next generation, the whole land of Canaan was scouted first. This was grasping the situation on the ground. Joshua and Caleb, who saw with different eyes, reported that they could go while holding onto the word.
2) Deuteronomy 6:4-9 — engrave everything up to now onto the next generation.
3) Joshua 3:1-15 — He parted the Jordan and explained it to the next generation.
▷ God’s word is not a mood, it is a goal. Engrave the real thing onto the next generation. God will give us a temple that will fulfill the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age.

■ Conclusion — Beginning

1. Prayer through life (Summit) — the morning is recovery. In the daytime, study with that strength and see the world with those eyes. At night, 300% of God’s work comes out.

2. Through worship, five paths are confirmed (spiritual Summit) — the fulfillment of the word called “only” appears, and the answered prayer called “WITH” appears. Your work is made into 300%. Your background is the throne (Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally). When must this be done? At 24. Then 25 comes, and a work called eternity remains.

3. Special concentration (spiritual emperor) — how it was that God gave world evangelization to me comes out.

Transcript

Thank you. I was once invited to North Korea and went. They showed us all sorts of things. They also showed us the great rallies they hold in Pyongyang. They showed us Kim Il-sung’s birthplace. Among the things they showed us, there was one thing in particular — the first missionary who came to their country was the missionary Thomas. They killed him and seized the ship he had come on. That is exactly what they showed us, still preserved in North Korea. But when they explained it, they said he was a spy — that he was a spy disguised as a missionary. So they said they killed him. He had done nothing, and yet he was killed. And yet our Korea, which used to be a very poor country, is now among the advanced nations. It is the country that has sent out the most missionaries. Going forward, great things will happen through our next-generation Remnant. The politician who killed Thomas probably did not even know who Thomas was. Because he did not know the gospel, he had no idea how important a person Thomas was. Therefore we must know that important meaning and blessing.

The deaconesses in our church who have been praying from the very beginning, and our elders too — you have no idea how important it is when you go to Seoul and see the elders praying like this. It looks as though they are just sitting quietly worshiping, but they are inside the 777 covenant. That is tremendous. Other people do not know it. That means the works of God that must happen will happen. That is why, starting from our powerless and unlearned church in Busan, the door to five thousand people groups is now opening wide. That is what is called 300%. So we must understand the meaning well. At times like these we look as though we are just there as usual, but actually the word has begun to be fulfilled. When that word is fulfilled, even we do not fully realize it, and it looks like an amazing thing to ordinary people. No one imagined that world evangelization would happen out of Korea. That is what the fulfillment of a covenant looks like.

So, looking at how the fulfillment of the word has come about — you know our present Immanuel Seoul Church, don’t you? That place is an amazing location. It is a place where all three courtyards — the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age — can be realized. Once it is developed, a place like that mountain will become a place entirely devoted to prayer. Originally, that place used to be the Immanuel retreat center. We even used to hold our seminary there for a while, renting it. Since we had nowhere to go, we rented it and held gatherings there. So I once met with the director, who was a woman, and spoke with her once. We asked her to sell it to us. But she did not sell it to us — she sold it to someone else. But it kept changing hands, changing hands, until it eventually became this temple. It had been well built. Because they could not manage the debt, it changed hands, and that is how we came to buy it. When you see how the fulfillment of God’s word comes about, it really is astonishing.

Now that we have come to Yeongdo and bought this land — if you look closely, this is truly the best location for prayer and for spending the three-day weekend age going forward. You may have simply seen it, but if you follow this road out, it leads to a seaside path that is wonderful for prayer. And in fact, there is no church in Busan that occupies as much land as this. It may look as though God delayed the building of the temple, but that is not so. While we waited, we discovered a great many things. We have found through the fulfillment of the word the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age that we absolutely must not miss. This content is not something I made up — it is in the Bible.

Many people ask, “What is the Remnant movement?” — but it is the most important word in the Bible. It means the remnant who carries the gospel. Anyone who does not know this word does not know the Bible. Any theologian who does not know this has not studied enough theology. It is the most important word in the Bible. Because Israel did not preach the gospel, they were struck with plagues seven times. That is why they had no choice but to be scattered. The gospel is testified through the remnant who carries it. Not knowing that word truly means not knowing the Bible. Because we raise up the next generation with that in mind, that is why we say it this way — but originally, the term “remnant” refers to you, the elders, the adults.

This morning I saw something very important come out of the exodus. If you ask what the greatest blessing of the exodus was, this is it.

“The Temple First Given” (Exodus 23:14-17)

This is the passage that came up this morning. We must not miss this. What appears here? The three feasts appear. This is precisely the content of the first temple God gave. We are building a temple in order to proclaim this blessing to the whole world. As time passes, going forward, it will surely become something explained historically, the way it has for us already. You have labored, put in effort, given offerings, and enjoyed all this — but once history has passed, you will come to say, “Ah, this is how God did it!” That is why we absolutely must build a temple that holds this. We must build a temple that proclaims this blessing to the whole world. This also came up in the first service today — this is surely the story of today’s scripture, which contains the three feasts.

■ Introduction — What He Gave (the three feasts)

So first, what God has given — you must enjoy this. That is the three feasts. It is a very important word. We came out set free through the blood covenant. By that power — the power of Pentecost — we passed through the wilderness path. What remains, isn’t it the throne, as the backdrop of the Feast of Ingathering? It is world evangelization. Without a doubt. So many outstanding intellectuals came as missionaries to our country and preached the gospel, but they did not realize why they did it or how important it was. Already now, Korean k-pop and Korean culture are creating a global craze, aren’t they? And many Koreans travel widely too. You must realize that before that, missionaries went first and planted a great deal. In our country, missionaries came before the politicians and the businesspeople came. Now, when ordinary people see this, they think, “I suppose that’s how it is,” but spiritually speaking, it is an enormously significant thing.

1. Bartizan within me — 7·7·7
So we first build a bartizan within me. This is your prayer. You keep on praying to first build the bartizan within me.

2. The path ahead of me — the throne’s journey
Then God opens up the path ahead of me. Seeing this, we call it the throne’s bartizan. All we need to do is enjoy this.

3. The future on the path — the throne’s guidepost
Then, as you walk the path, the future on that path comes into view. So all you need is to remain within this. Then the bartizan of the throne that God gives, the journey of the throne, comes into view. Then, as you walk that path, the future becomes visible — that is the throne’s guidepost. To put it precisely, it is exactly the same. This (number 1) is Passover, this (number 2) is going by the power of Pentecost, and this (number 3) is the Feast of Ingathering, which is our backdrop. This whole content has now come out.

■ Main

1. The power of the throne (worship — temple)
Now let’s unpack this carefully. We must restore the foundation of the temple — but how have you enjoyed the power of the throne? Prepare a temple where you can enjoy the power of the throne, where you can worship.

2. The footsteps of the people of the throne
And leave behind the footsteps that the people of the throne — the blessing you will receive — will walk. That is the temple.

3. The temple for the next generation, for the world
And we are not merely at this level. We must testify this gospel to the next generation and the world. Build the temple for the next generation that will deliver this. That is why we gather our strength, pray, and do all of this.

1. The power of the throne (worship — temple)
1) The miracle of Passover (Egypt)
Look at what happened at this time. You should at least know about it. No one imagined it. The miracle of Passover — no one imagined it at all. No one knows it. As they went along the wilderness path, what was the miracle of Passover? It was that they overcame Egypt. Who would have thought it possible? Who could have imagined overcoming Egypt? But it was not that they overcame Egypt — it was that all the darkness of Egypt was brought down.

2) Pentecost (the wilderness)
The covenant of Pentecost continued, but what happened? The wilderness was conquered.

3) The Feast of Ingathering (Canaan)
With the blessing of the Feast of Ingathering, they went in and conquered the land of Canaan itself. Simply looking at it, this covenant reaches into Egypt, the wilderness, and the land of Canaan. What matters even more is the moment of entering the land of Canaan. Seven nations were already living there. But when these people went and looked, all their hearts had already melted. We thought Israel was the one suffering hardship, but in the wilderness, the hearts of those seven nations and of the world had already been melted. You should remember this — you must remember it in advance. If hardship comes to you, remember that it will remain as evidence. Because God’s word is always fulfilled, there is absolutely no need to worry.

2. The footsteps of the people of the throne
There are several key figures who left their footsteps there.
1) Jochebed
Jochebed. She grasped one covenant precisely, and it changed the world. Members of the National Assembly probably would not understand this well. Our deaconesses who pray quietly hold the same blessing that Jochebed had. Isn’t that so?

2) Jethro
The elders who now come forward and sit in prayer — you hold the same blessing that Jethro received. Isn’t that so? You must understand the meaning. It is not just knowing it — you must have confidence and be bold.

3) Rahab
Though she seemed to have no power at all, this prostitute Rahab — if you study the blessing she received, you will be amazed. It is a hidden secret so astonishing it can hardly even be called a blessing. Knowing this, we worship. Knowing this, we pray.

4) Joshua
The one who understood this came forth — Joshua. He knew, because he had seen the works of God that had happened to Moses, that “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” You must realize this directly: “I have already given you the land of Canaan,” He said. We have already completed the building of the temple for world evangelization. Along the way, many people will become visible — that is history. So you will come to see the evidence of world evangelization taking place.

5) Caleb
I consider Joshua important, but a person as important as Joshua is Caleb. Simply put, this Caleb never became a leader or anything like that — he only ran errands, but he did everything at the critical moment.

3. The temple for the next generation, for the world
What, then, is the work we are ultimately doing? The temple for the next generation. Several things are mentioned about this.
1) Numbers 14:1-10
Numbers chapter 14, verses 1 through 10. What did they do first in order to save the next generation? They scouted out the entire land of Canaan. That had to be done, right? They grasped the whole situation on the ground. Remarkably, twelve went and came back, and ten of them said it could not be done. Now, what would we do? If twelve went and came back and ten said it could not be done, wouldn’t we go along with the mood? God’s word is not a matter of mood. It is a goal more important than that. You must go. Right? You must cross the Red Sea. It is not a matter of whether to cross or not — you must cross. And yet, ten said it could not be done. At that time, the two men of faith — as you know, Joshua and Caleb — said, “We can go.” They saw with different eyes. They said it was a prepared land. They said it was our land flowing with milk and honey. Human words are frightening like this. If we had listened to the words of the ten, what would have happened? What would we have done in that wilderness? What these unbelieving people said sounded right — “When we went and saw it, it was tremendous. We can’t go.” But when you look at it with spiritual eyes, it is a hopeless thing to say. Then were they supposed to stay in the wilderness? The ones who firmly held to the word and said they could go were Joshua and Caleb. And in the end, the leader makes the decision — Moses listens to what Joshua and Caleb say and decides. He said, let’s go.

2) Deuteronomy 6:4-9
So they almost all went. What came out at this time was Deuteronomy chapter 6, verses 4-9. We must hold this in our hearts. Engrave onto the next generation everything that has happened up to now. Do not simply let go of the amazing thing that had just happened — engrave it “on your foreheads, on your hands, on the walls.” That means “engrave it.” It means engraving the real thing onto our Remnant before something fake gets in.

I am most worried about AI. Now people write theses with AI, and they even hold trials with AI — this is going to be a serious problem going forward. What is the characteristic of AI? Its characteristic is that all past data has been input, and it uses that to explain the future. But the question is whether what has existed up to now is even real. This is the problem. As I see it, 90% is fake. This is not an ordinary problem at all. There may come a time when AI is unnecessary in some respects. That is why it is dangerous. That is what will happen. It will bring a great mistake.

Make sure to have God’s word be seen even while walking on the road. Make sure it is seen even while lying down. Even bind it to your wrist. What is that? It means engrave this blessing absolutely.

3) Joshua 3:1-15
And after that, as they went, a continuous series of miracles begins to happen. Right? Miracles happen one after another. Among them, the one that must be kept most in mind is Joshua chapter 3. What is it? The Jordan was parted. Why is this important? After parting the Jordan, He said, “Explain this to the next generation. Explain to the next generation everything that happened from coming out of Egypt to arriving here now. Make sure they see it clearly.” That is the point.

Whether we believe it or not, God will surely give us a temple that will fulfill the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age. There are people here in Dongsam-dong who have lived here a long time. When we started, no one, not even us, expected our church would achieve world evangelization. If you look around this area, there are hardly any churches, hardly any believers. So how can world evangelization happen? To be honest, there is nowhere else like this that gathers together like you all, praying fervently, evangelizing like this. I’m sorry to say it, but you must know how great a blessing we have received.

■ Conclusion — Beginning

Start now. How? From now on, it is three prayers.

1. Life
Begin praying through your life. If you try to make time deliberately, it won’t last. I exercise a great deal — I do it through life. Already this morning, within my prayer time, I exercised indoors for about 40 minutes. That’s how it has to be done. Going somewhere specifically to exercise? Impossible for me. So all of you Remnant, in the morning it is unconditional recovery. Health, intellect, and spirit must all be recovered. With that, in the daytime you study with that strength, and you see the world with those eyes. That is what is called daytime prayer. Then what happens at night? God’s work cannot help but come out. 300% comes out. Begin that prayer.

2. Worship
When this happens, through worship, five paths are confirmed. Right? The fulfillment of the word called “only” comes into view. You must look for it at every worship service. The answered prayer called “WITH” comes into view. From that point on, without you even realizing it, your work and your studies are made into 300%. Your background is the throne. But in order not to forget this, I keep using the words Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally. When must this be done? At 24. Then it happens. Then 25 comes. A work called eternity remains in your work, your studies. That is worship. As this continues, one thing surely comes clear: how in the world did God give world evangelization to me? It comes out.

3. Special
Once that comes out, from that point special concentration begins. Now, in daily life you receive answers, but from worship it surely comes to reach this point (special concentration). Our elders should not do anything else until this (special concentration) comes out. Until this comes out, you must not even die. The Remnant must set this (special concentration) as their goal. What do we call seeing this? Summit. Second is spiritual Summit. Third — what is it? Spiritual emperor. This is how it unfolds. Without fail. It cannot be stopped.

Other people may misunderstand when they see this, but right now you are sitting within an enormously important covenant of God. That covenant is being fulfilled, and combined with our prayer, it becomes the temple that truly makes the three courtyards, that draws people. And it turns out that, of all things, the Immanuel Changwon church that was built also happens to be exactly the temple where these three things are being realized. It’s astonishing. The Ulsan branch we are entering this time turns out exactly the same way, even in its location. That’s why I said the same thing about Haeundae — going forward, if the land value rises, sell it. Sell it and go out to the outskirts and build a church that can open the three-time-periods — we absolutely must do that. At Immanuel Seoul, they are now building a parking lot. I told the elders — if you cannot park 5,000 cars, you cannot become a mega church. If 5,000 members gather to worship, you need parking for 5,000 cars. No matter how good the food is, a restaurant without parking cannot make money. Why? Because people simply cannot come. They might come once or twice, but they won’t keep coming. Isn’t this a kind of systems war we are in now? Spiritually, it is exactly the same.

I bless you, that you may enjoy this blessing starting today, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer

We thank You, God. May God receive the glory. May the work of God be accomplished. May Your throne, Your kingdom, and that work be fulfilled. We give thanks that we are within it. We give all glory to God. We pray this in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Transcript

■ Introduction

1. On the day the blood of the lamb was applied, they were set free from Egypt. The precise covenant that you hold and plant will be fulfilled.
A great thing happened through the covenant that one person held.
1) The gospel was cut off and Israel fell into crisis — Jochebed held a precise covenant and planted it in Moses — fulfilled 80 years later (Passover)
The people of Israel, whose gospel had been cut off, faced a great crisis. They had fallen into despair with no way out. At that time, a woman named Jochebed did not see this as a crisis. She held onto a precise covenant. She planted this covenant in Moses.

None of us knows how the covenants we hold and plant today will turn out. Eighty years later, it was fulfilled through Moses. “Take my people out. Go and tell him you will offer a blood sacrifice.” That command came down. Of course Pharaoh would not listen to that word, right? The world has no reason to believe and obey the word of God. But the people of Israel had to go out and achieve world evangelization.

From this point, God began to raise His mighty hand and strike. He turned all the water of Egypt, including the Nile, into blood. Could they survive? Pharaoh understood for a moment and then hardened his heart again. He sent a plague of frogs into every bedroom in the land. He brought a plague so severe that no one could survive. He even sent a plague of flies so bad that flies would go into people’s mouths as they spoke. Pharaoh did not even blink. Then finally He brought hail and began killing livestock. And He began destroying their possessions. People are all weak toward material things — that was when Pharaoh finally grew tense. He called Moses and said, “Quick, go out and worship, then come back.” Once the plague stopped, his heart turned again. Then finally He began sending disease. Boils broke out. Each time, he would raise his hand and then turn back again. In the end, He sent a plague of darkness over the whole land and then killed the firstborn. Killing the firstborn did not solve it. That was when God gave an important promise. In every household the firstborn was killed, but the houses with the blood of the lamb applied were passed over. That is why it is called Passover — because it “passed over.” And so a great event unfolded in which the people of Israel were set free from that vast, overwhelming Egypt.

2) New family — overcome a reality like Egypt.
The very first thing our new family members need to understand today is this. Overcome your reality that is like Egypt. It’s important.

3) The highest calling of a church leader — set the bound people of Israel free.
There is something even more important. What is the highest calling for many church leaders? Set free the people of Israel who are now bound. This is exactly the content of the ministry and mission of our pastors.

4) Multi-ethnic — set our people free from darkness.
Today our multi-ethnic members are worshiping. This is a covenant you must hold onto. Set our people free from darkness. You must firmly hold onto this.

2. Coming out of Egypt is not the problem. We must be set free from Satan (salvation).
What matters more is that coming out of Egypt is not the real issue. They came out of Egypt and yet were ruined again. What matters more? It is not Egypt. We must be set free from Satan. That is called salvation. Invisibly, we are held captive by Satan. We must be set free from that.

3. To truly receive an answer, we must come out of my own thinking, other people’s thinking, and Egypt’s thinking.
There is something even more important remaining. Isn’t it true that to actually receive an answer we must be set free from Satan? The most important thing still remains. We must come out of my own thinking, other people’s thinking, and Egypt’s thinking. This is a very important answer.

※ Through the blood of Christ, all plagues and darkness are driven out, and from there we come out set free.
The households marked with the blood of the lamb on the doorposts did not die but passed over. Through the blood of Christ, all plagues withdraw. You must experience this clearly starting today. Through the blood of Christ, all the powers of darkness are driven out. We are set free from there and come out. Take hold of this as a covenant and receive your answer. Every believer today must take hold of this covenant and receive an answer. There are many people worshiping remotely, from other countries, through video. For those people, what matters most is holding the covenant. A covenant that no one else holds onto was held by Jochebed — one woman. And it did not stop there — a tremendous thing happened. It surely came to fulfillment and reached Moses. At first Moses said he could not do it. It had to be done. From the day Moses held the covenant and picked up his staff, history began.

■ Main — Passover
So we are speaking about Passover today.

1. The day that completely changes destiny
This is the first point. What kind of day is this? It is the day that changes the fundamental problem of human destiny. Has your destiny changed? It must change. This is the day that completely changes destiny.

※ I am a freed child of God, an evangelist. Confess it and believe it. Ask why you must struggle with weakness and poverty. A tremendous blessing lies within that.
From the day I came to know the gospel, I confessed this. I was very poor. I needed to study. That was when I realized: “I am a freed child of God. I am an evangelist. I am not poor. I simply have no needs.” With that, I went out onto the evangelism field. This completely changed my destiny. You must confess it. We have already come out of that destiny. Remnant must always confess: “I am a child of God, a Remnant.” With that, where was I called to? This place, Dongsam-dong. Even now, having such good elders and outstanding people is a blessing — but back then, there was none of that. There was not even a small church building, and yet He called me here. The same confession applies — I prayed: “I am a child of God, an evangelist and disciple.” Right? “The most important thing here is not a church building. What Yeongdo needs is God’s word, the gospel.” I sent letters to people all across Yeongdo. I asked them more than ten questions. Newspapers existed at the time, so people read the whole newspaper — I put my letter inside the newspaper. God raised up a thousand disciples at once. Looking back now, all the elders sitting here are people who came holding the gospel and holding the covenant. While you were simply praying quietly, holding the covenant, the door to the world is now opening. It is astounding, even now. You may not fully grasp it, but that is not the point — those people are going forward, holding fully onto the covenant.

The day destiny changes. Confess it. You must believe it. God is the omnipotent God — why must I be weak? No. I found the answer there. Do not just sit still — you must find the answer. God is the Creator — why must I suffer poverty? A tremendous blessing lies within that question. Once, long ago, when flying back to Seoul and descending toward Busan, as the plane came in to land, I looked out the window and prayed, “God, there are so many buildings, packed so closely together — why do we have no church?” God gave me the answer: “Find a great piece of land in Yeongdo fit for world evangelization.” It was all fulfilled exactly as He said. Right? The day destiny changes — that is my blessing. You must believe the covenant. And if it is real, it will surely be fulfilled.

1) The fulfillment of Genesis 3:15
“He shall bruise the serpent’s head” — this was fulfilled.

2) The fulfillment of the gospel of the blood covenant that Moses’ mother explained to Moses
That blood covenant. Moses’ mother deeply explained the gospel of this covenant to Moses when he was young — this was fulfilled.

3) The fulfillment of Exodus 3:18 — Satan, the power of hell, and darkness were completely bound.
“Not long ago the Lord appeared in the burning bush and said, go and offer a blood sacrifice. Take my people out.” This day was the day this was fulfilled. It is the moment Satan, the power of hell, and darkness were completely bound. Please believe this. There are always sad people who ask, what does authority even mean — people who live like this in their faith life. That person’s door does not open.

2. The day that changes power
Second. What kind of day is this? It is the day that changes my power. Right? My own power is not enough.

1) The day the power of Passover descending from the throne comes — ten miracles
It is the day the power of Passover, descending from the throne, comes. Ten miracles happened.

2) The day the work of Pentecost happens, which fulfills the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost — change your power into God’s own.
Soon, what will happen? The work of the day of Pentecost, which fulfills the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne, happens. This is the beginning. Change your power — into God’s power.

3) The day of the Feast of Ingathering, which changes your background — the throne, the kingdom of God, the work of God’s kingdom
Change your background — this is the Feast of Ingathering. Right? The throne of God, the kingdom of God, the work of God’s kingdom — that’s for certain. If you wait, the door of world evangelization opens. Church leaders, elders, and many others — you must leave this behind as your life’s legacy. Right? Nothing else matters. Other things are just about getting through day to day. That doesn’t matter. Our new family members must discover this blessing. The Remnant carries this strength with them wherever they go. This is a very important day.

3. The day that changes the future
Third. What is it? It is the day that begins to change the future. It is not simply about power.

1) The miracle of the wilderness — working through supernatural power
Miracles began happening in the wilderness. As they traveled through the wilderness, when there was no food, God sent down food to eat. At night He guided them with a pillar of fire, and in the desert heat, when things were unbearable, with a pillar of cloud. In the desert, when they needed water, God caused water to burst forth. Through supernatural power. God worked with the power of the supernatural.

2) “Cross the Red Sea” — “so that they may know that I am the Lord”
That’s not all. Because this is the beginning of a tremendous change to the future, what happened? God deliberately told Moses, “Take the people of Israel to the seashore.” Leaving other roads aside, “Cross the Red Sea.” Then God said this: “So that they may know that I am the Lord.” Even now this is much discussed because it is an event where the Red Sea of Egypt was actually parted historically. The Bible records that God parted it.

3) “Cross the Jordan” — “build a monument.”
The same thing is repeated. “All your people shall cross the Jordan.” He even explained the reason: “When you cross the Jordan, take twelve stones from the Jordan riverbed according to the twelve tribes. Take them and build a monument. The reason is so that when your descendants ask, you can tell them.” So it was truly an enormous thing. Things that actually happened work identically upon us today.

4) “Tear down Jericho.”
“Tear down Jericho.” Without tearing it down, you cannot enter.

■ Conclusion — Pray the secret of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Ingathering
From the day God made me realize prayer, I had nothing left to fear. The secret of Passover, the secret of Pentecost, and the secret of the Feast of Ingathering are mine. All I have to do is pray that.

1. Prayer enjoyed through life
1) Morning (Summit Time) — recover everything. Set out with confidence.
Today I spoke to the elders about this. All Remnant, all of you — do not scramble in the morning. Recover everything in the morning. It is not difficult. Recover your power. Set out with confidence in the morning. This is important. Remnant, hold Summit Time in the morning.

2) Daytime — things change. The path becomes visible.
Then your studies change and your daytime changes. The path becomes visible. That is daytime.

3) Nighttime — a work of your life, 300%, comes out. Only then can you evangelize.
Then your life is bound to become a masterpiece. It will surely come out at 300%. Only then can you evangelize. That is what is called nighttime. This must be recovered. In my younger days, when I still didn’t know prayer, everything felt hard, and I didn’t know what to do. The blessing of prayer is not something you burden yourself with — morning, noon, night — it is something you enjoy. Before making time for prayer, first enjoy it through your life.

2. Recovery of worship — five paths begin to become visible
From this point, worship is recovered. Through worship, five paths begin to become visible. Never give up — you must keep going.

※ Multi-ethnic believers — hold onto the word in prayer and listen for the voice of God.
As you continue, “Ah, this is why God called me” — this realization comes. From that point, hold onto it and give yourself completely in focused prayer. Absolutely.

※ Multi-ethnic believers — hold onto the word in prayer and listen for the voice of God.
We have many multi-ethnic believers here today. You must get to know people and get along well with them. But you must not listen to what people say. When you come to our church, hold onto the word in prayer and listen for the voice of God. This must always be so — especially for our multi-ethnic members.

※ Remnant — do not listen to ideologies, save people with the word of God.
Our Remnant are growing greatly right now. The greatest challenge for our country is that there are many ideologies out there. Do not listen to them. You must save people with the word of God. You must receive that answer without fail.

※ Assistant pastors — study theology, but be careful. Hold the covenant.
Many of our assistant pastors, too, are important. Study theology, but be careful. A man named Karl Barth said, “There is also the word of man within the word of God” — liberal theology. When translating the sacrifice-blood verses, they simply cut out the word “blood.” That’s what theologians are doing now. It’s absurd. Now, that kind of theology is everywhere. Astonishingly, those people are not even branded as heretics. It’s outrageous. So our assistant pastors, know what a great blessing you have received and hold onto the covenant. My destiny and identity have changed. You must be sure of it. Then, invisibly, darkness collapses. Satan knows. I must have my power changed by relying on the authority God gave me. Just wait. And what happens? The future is turned around. Today, take hold of this and go. The blood sacrifice. It happened on the day the blood of the lamb was applied.

※ God has prepared everything on the path that the people of Israel walk.
“But we’re busy just trying to survive — why talk about this?” Some of you may be asking that question. “Don’t we need to eat and live?” Wait. Those who complain like that have died. You must not belong to that group. It’s the same thing. Do you know what they said while walking through the wilderness? “Don’t we need something to eat and live on? At least in Egypt they gave us meat, gave us good food, didn’t they?” People who were slaves say things like that. If you look in the Bible, the list of things they craved is spelled out in detail. What stands out most? Leeks. In Busan dialect, jeonggu-ji (chives). “Let’s go back.” It might sound like they have a point. But because of that, they all died. That is absolutely not so. God had prepared everything on the path the people of Israel would walk. They conquered the wilderness. Even more amazing, all the wealth of the seven nations came into Israel’s hands. God had prepared it all. They entered the land flowing with milk and honey, just as promised.

※ Change three things through prayer — destiny (identity), power (authority), future
Today, change three things through prayer. Change your destiny, your identity. If it’s real, Satan trembles. Change your power. It is authority. Right? Change your future. This is exactly the many miracles of world evangelization that God is preparing to give.

Prayer

Let the important answer for my life that You give today begin, Lord. Let the identity that changes an unshakable destiny be recovered; let the authority that changes power through the blood sacrifice be recovered; let the power of world evangelization that changes the future be recovered. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Death of Abraham

2026.08.30 District Message Week 35
The Death of Abraham (Genesis 25:1-11)

Summary

Everyone faces this once — the death of Abraham. In truth, we hardly know where our life came from or where it is going. We hardly know when we were born or when we will die. And we do not decide for ourselves which country we are born into or which country we die in. But there are a few things that are certain.

■ Introduction
1. Original sin — salvation — because we are born carrying original sin, we must be saved.
2. Power of the throne — those who are saved must recover the power of the throne. The way to recover the power of the throne lies within the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost.
3. A monument comes into being.

■ Main
1. Sojourner (eternal life) — Abraham’s death points to the fact that human life is that of a sojourner. The word “sojourner” is not an ending. A sojourner must go to his hometown, his own home. Our life is neither an ending nor reincarnation. Our soul exists on unchanged, staying briefly within the body before departing one day. It exists forever. This is why he gives us to obtain eternal life.
1) Destruction — an unbeliever must be saved because that state of destruction is eternal.
2) Life is eternal. It looks as though we live long on this earth, but we live only for a brief while. The mayfly’s whole life, having gone through everything, amounts to 24 hours.
2. During life — what we do during this time becomes our blessing. Eternal life goes to an eternal place, but what matters is the brief time spent in the body before going.
1) Salvation — you are only saved while your soul is within your body.
2) Evangelism — you can only evangelize while your soul is within your body.
3) Reward — everything you do while alive becomes your reward.
3. What is left behind
1) Personal salvation and blessing.
2) It is passed on to your descendants. Even without directly teaching your children, spiritual things are passed on.
3) Evangelism — the blessing we have received is the evangelism that saves others.
4) Missions — missions that save other nations.

■ Conclusion
1. Absolute sovereignty — when are we born and when do we go? We do not know. It is God’s absolute sovereignty.

“The Death of Abraham”

Everyone faces this once — the death of Abraham. In truth, we hardly know where our life came from or where it is going. We hardly know when we were born or when we will die. And whether I was born in this country or that country, that is not something I decided for myself. Most of us here are Korean, but it isn’t that you chose to be Korean and were born that way. You simply woke up and found yourself Korean.

■ Introduction
But there are a few things that are certain for us.

1. Original sin — salvation
Because we are born carrying original sin, we must be saved.

2. Power of the throne
Those who are saved must recover the power of the throne. The way to recover the power of the throne is not asking for something specific. It lies within the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost.

3. Monument
This surely comes about. A monument does appear.

■ Main
1. Sojourner (eternal life)
First. Abraham’s death teaches that human life is that of a sojourner. The word “sojourner” is not an ending. Right? A sojourner must go to his hometown. Right? His hometown, his own home. Our life is not an ending. Many people think it is an ending. Unbelievers think it’s the end. That is a mistaken idea. Some religions speak of reincarnation. That is a misunderstanding too. Satan teaches falsely like this, and that’s why people get confused. It is neither an ending nor reincarnation. Buddhism-like ideas about this are truly a frightening thing — the notion that you were reincarnated as something, or that you had a previous life — that is nonsense. Your soul continues to exist and goes on. It does not stay in the body forever, but departs one day. It exists eternally. That is why He gives us eternal life. You must remember this.

In Genesis chapter 41, verse 9, Jacob confessed that his life had been a sojourner’s journey. You can use this in the study. Isaiah 40:6-8 says it this way: grass withers, flowers fade. It says, “But the word of the Lord stands forever.” Grass withering and flowers fading refers to human life. Our lives will surely wither and fade too. But the word stands forever. In Genesis chapter 4, verses 16 and 18, we see that when Cain and his descendants departed from the word of God, they fell into torment from that point on. The people of the covenant no longer simply walk the path of a sojourner but walk it together with God. That is what all this is saying. So what we must remember above all is this.

1) Destruction
Why must an unbeliever be saved? Because that state of destruction is eternal.

2) Life
Life — that is eternal too.

So if it were like unbelievers say — if it simply ended when you die — that would be fine, but it does not end. That is why you and I, though we appear to live long on this earth, only live briefly and then go. Take the mayflies of summer, for instance. To them, that is their whole lifespan — 24 hours. To us it seems like just a day. But for them, that is a whole lifetime of every kind of hardship. Ask them — they’ve been through everything within those 24 hours.

2. During life
What matters is what? Abraham’s life was being told, but what you do while you are alive becomes your blessing. Now, eternal life goes to an eternal place, but before that, what happens during the brief time in the body is important. Refer to the scripture verses.

1) Salvation
You are only saved while your soul is within your body. This is very important. It means that only while your parents are alive can they be saved — meaning, only while the soul is within the body can salvation happen. Once it leaves, it is over. As for people who say they saw something after they died — all of that is nonsense. Do not listen to that kind of talk — look to the word of God instead.

2) Evangelism
You can only evangelize while your soul is within your body. Once it leaves, you cannot go anymore.

3) Reward
Everything you do while you are alive becomes your reward.

3. What is left behind
So you have a guidepost to leave behind. What is that guidepost?

1) Personal
Personal salvation and blessing. So there is nothing else we need to do.

2) Descendants
This blessing is passed on to your descendants. Even without you directly teaching your children, spiritual things are passed down.

3) Evangelism
And the blessing you received is what saves other people — evangelism.

4) Missions
Missions that save other nations.

When it comes to evangelism, we always think of it only as going out to preach the gospel, but think of it the other way around. Every single day, disaster is coming upon the whole family. They cannot even speak of it. If you go there and preach the gospel that saves a soul just once, that is evangelism. Put in words, if you go into those foreign countries, there are problems there that words cannot even describe. I was shocked. Killing a person is an everyday matter there. So many countries are full of this. Shining light into that is what missions is. If our lives can be that, there is no greater blessing than that. In the end, Abraham realized this and left it behind.

■ Conclusion
1. Absolute sovereignty
This is the conclusion. When you are born and when you go — you do not know. See this as God’s absolute sovereignty. You must believe it.

2. Absolute plan
And God without fail holds a plan for world evangelization. Absolute plan.

3. Absolute bartizan — journey — guidepost
Here, God gives you an absolute bartizan, journey, and guidepost. Go searching for and following this.

On the Lord’s Day, you must pray on the Lord’s Day so that you can see what word you truly need. On the Lord’s Day you must confirm what prayer you must offer and what answer you will receive. There is no distinction of high or low among our various work. You must pray how to make your work 300% and save others — that is what you pray on the Lord’s Day. What matters even more is knowing what happens all day long when you worship and pray today. The Heavenly Power that breaks the one who holds authority in the air arises today. Then, because your vessel fills up, next comes the throne — Thronely. Today, as you pray, what comes out? Eternally. Forever. It is being formed. Take hold of this and go on to 24, 25, and eternity.

The Lord’s Day is the greatest day. Today, do not listen to people’s talk — pray earnestly. Do not speak ill of others on the Lord’s Day. Hold onto God’s word and pray earnestly. So that the five paths clearly come into view. As this accumulates, the door of world evangelization will open for you. I bless that today may become a day of covenant, all day long, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer

We thank You, God. May today be a day, all day long, in which the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost are fulfilled. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (33)

[RT-DAY September School Evangelization]

Lecture 1 – A Person Who Connects Through Prayer (Colossians 1:3)
Lecture 2 – The One Who Possesses the Mystery of Christ (Colossians 2:1-23)
Lecture 3 – The Things That Must Be Discarded for Those Who Are With God (Colossians 3:5)
Lecture 4 – The Communication of the Evangelism Disciple (Colossians 4:7-8)


Summary

Remnant, when you wake up in the morning, do a little meditation. Comfortably pray about everything — what will happen today, your circumstances, your thoughts, everything. You must begin the prayer that most comfortably gives you strength, the prayer that revives your spirit. The reason to breathe deeply and slowly is to keep your brain alive. Also, older members must prevent dementia. Immunity declines, which leads to illness. So continue healing through prayer each morning.

When I set out, I pray the 7·7·7 prayer in earnest. Whenever I meet you, I turn it all into prayer.

At night I mostly organize my messages. You should use that time to create your own work.

Sunday Worship

Church leaders must find and draw out all their power and strength on the Lord’s Day. Remnant must prepare a prayer notebook. On the Lord’s Day, it is best if you can pray all day while preparing yourselves.

Word (OUR)

As you listen to God’s word, you must ask, “What word is being given to me?” You must grasp the “only.” Fulfillment comes later. Then uniqueness and re-creation will surely come. Discover this on the Lord’s Day. Pastors, the best thing you can do for God’s will is to tell your church and your people what your “only” is.

Prayer (WIOS)

On the Lord’s Day, you must look for or discover what oneness God is accomplishing as He is with you and with us.

Work (AWH)

You must find 300% in your studies. Hold onto your talent and do editing, design, planning comfortably, little by little, every day (Always). Even when hardship comes, enjoying that God is with you is “With.” Through worship, you must discover what you can do to help yourself and the people around you (Healing).

Background (HTE)

Even more important is knowing what happens during worship and prayer. The more you know this, the more you will reach 24. I pray by breathing deeply whenever I have a spare moment.

Heavenly Power arises, which overcomes the one who holds authority in the air. Thronely Power arises, by which God’s power conquers the world. Eternally Power arises, which is eternal. This is the background. Without knowing this, world evangelization is impossible. Knowing and enjoying this makes world evangelization easy.

Remnant and young adults do not need to worry about the future. Confirm on the Lord’s Day how God worked. Worldly success is basic. That alone cannot achieve world evangelization. That is why we say, take hold of the covenant.

Timetable (24, 25, 00)

There’s no need to ask when to do it. It’s 24. Once you take on a task, it’s 24. Then 25 comes. A work called eternity remains.

▷ This is what you are to enjoy on the three-day weekend, especially on the Lord’s Day. When the three-day weekend age opens, you must hold forums about this with the Remnant. In the past, I gave the Remnant and young adults assignments to think about. Then I had them present what they thought. And then I checked what God’s word says about it. On Friday, gather comfortably in the evening and talk about what forum to hold that month, or say who you will invite for the Remnant that month.

[1] One Whose Prayers Are Answered

The more you enjoy this, the more you come to know prayer. What comes out of one whose prayers are answered?

1. In Christ — grace — peace
You come to enjoy what is in Christ. Grace and peace. A very important phrase. Grace is the cause, peace is the result. Very important.

2. Faith, hope, love
Three things arise in those whose prayers are answered. They follow along. Faith always brings about works. Right? Those with hope can endure. Those who love can labor and dedicate themselves. This is from the first day to the last.

3. Fruit
Fruit comes out. Look for it. You must do it.

[2] One Who Holds the Mystery of Christ

You do not go to evangelize — you go to deliver the mystery of Christ. Without seeing the mystery of Christ, missions cannot happen. You must wait on the field until you see the mystery you are to deliver of Christ.

1. What is hidden
All wisdom, knowledge, and treasure are hidden in Christ. Take hold of the covenant on the Lord’s Day and discover it in your prayer.

2. Engraving, rooting, building into character
Let this become engraved, rooted, and built into your character on the Lord’s Day.

3. Mystery
It is delivering to all Remnant and others the blessed mystery of God. Find it and share it.

[3] One Who Is Together

1. Thought → obsession
If you live according to your own thoughts, you fall into obsession. This is the root of idol worship. We are people who turn our thoughts into prayer.

2. Outside of Christ
Why does everyone fail? Because they are outside Christ. Being outside Christ is a target of Satan’s attack, darkness itself.

3. In the Lord
All people, in the Lord

[4] Discipleship in Evangelism

In the end, you remain a disciple of evangelism. You must be successful enough to become a disciple of evangelism. You must take hold of the covenant from the very beginning.

1. Be awake.
God said to you, “Be watchful in prayer with thanksgiving.” “Be watchful that you may proclaim the mystery of Christ.” “He will give you the right words.” Be watchful.

2. True comfort
The field needs true comfort (Colossians 4). You receive God’s comfort and pass it on. Everything else is a spiritual loss. Meeting people and talking with them can help, but it does not lead to spiritual growth.

Remnant should receive God’s comfort and save even their parents, and go, through that strength, to comfort even kings in other nations.

3. Onesimus
Onesimus was a servant of Philemon who committed theft and was sent to prison. There he met Paul and received the gospel, becoming his disciple. Paul wrote to Philemon, the elder in that region, asking him to forgive and receive Onesimus. Onesimus was later sent to become an overseer at the church of Colossae. Philemon, the elder, welcomed his former servant Onesimus as a leader. Truly, one who has received the gospel is different. Our Remnant must grow into a large vessel.

Remnant Day

Thank you. Remnant, once a year, you go into a season of deep prayer and confirm things. But when you all sing and I see the lyrics, there are moments I can’t believe I wrote them — “Did I really write that?” I hardly remember. “Ah, these lyrics are good.” That’s the kind of thought I get. It must be God’s doing.

■ Introduction

Remnant, from now on, when you wake up in the morning, meditate a little. Don’t just meditate — comfortably pray about everything that will happen today, your circumstances, everything, your thoughts, like this. You must start the prayer that gives you strength most comfortably. You must start the prayer that revives your spirit. The reason for long, deep breathing is to keep your brain alive. Also now, our church leaders, our older members, must also prevent dementia. You must do this. Once growth is complete, everyone’s body undergoes changes. The biggest change is that immunity declines, and you become prone to illness. So continue healing through prayer each morning.

Then you set out for the day. Once I set out, I begin the 7·7·7 prayer in earnest. Then, regardless of time, whenever I meet you, since there are important matters, I turn them all into prayer. Since I have so many messages to prepare, at night I mostly organize the message. During that time, you all should make your own work.

Sunday Worship

Especially, what Remnant must remember is the three-day weekend — but you cannot fully manage the whole three days. So, the Lord’s Day service. Our church leaders should, if possible, draw out everything — all power and strength — on the Lord’s Day. Among them, Remnant must prepare a prayer notebook. In truth, the Lord’s Day is the only time you have. Even on the Lord’s Day, if you’re not careful, you have to be here and there, so it’s hard to have time for yourself. So, if possible, it is best to enjoy all-day prayer on the Lord’s Day while preparing.

Word (OUR)

As you hear God’s word, you must reach a firm conclusion: “Ah, what is the word given to me?” You must grasp the “only.” Fulfillment comes later. Once you grasp this alone — “Ah, God’s ‘only’ for me!” — once you grasp only this, uniqueness and re-creation will surely come out. This is what you must find on the Lord’s Day. Other days work too, but the Lord’s Day is best. Pastors, when delivering a message, this is not something to just copy. You must give this (Word (OUR)) that appears in your church and field. Telling your church and yourself what your “only” is that you must do — that is the greatest expression of God’s will.

Prayer (WIOS)

Whether you pray a lot or a little doesn’t matter. What matters on the Lord’s Day is finding what oneness God is accomplishing with me and with us through this prayer. Even if you can’t find it, you must at least look for it.

Work (AWH)

You must find 300% in your studies. Hold onto your talent and do editing, design, planning comfortably, little by little, every day. Always. And your studies should not fall behind but stay together. Even when you’re going through hardship, that is God being with you. Enjoying that is “With.” And then Remnant must find this through worship — what can I do to help myself and those around me? That’s Healing. Making this is what creates the 300%.

Background (HTE)

Next, what’s even more important — what happens during worship? You must know this. What happens during prayer? The more I know this, the more I’ve simply come to be at 24. Without fail, whenever I have a spare moment, I pray. Even for the sake of my health, whenever I have a moment, I just pray by breathing long and deep. It’s so good. What happens during worship, during prayer?

It’s Heavenly. Heavenly Power that overcomes the one who holds authority in the air arises. Thronely Power that conquers the world through God’s power arises. Eternally Power, eternal, is created. This is the background. Without knowing this, world evangelization is absolutely impossible. Knowing and enjoying this makes world evangelization easy. Don’t believe lies.

Remnant and young adults don’t need to worry about the future. Confirm it on the Lord’s Day. Confirm how God has worked. Our elders and church leaders — whatever else may be true, you must receive and enjoy this blessing before you go. What must you do to succeed in the world? You must succeed — that’s basic. But that alone cannot achieve world evangelization. So we say, take hold of the covenant. If you study hard, you can get into a good university. If you graduate from a good university, you can do good work. But there also comes a day you can’t do that anymore. That alone cannot achieve world evangelization — you must clearly realize this. That alone cannot achieve world evangelization. So this blessing was given.

Timetable (24, 25, 00)

This is your timetable. When must you do it? No need to ask — it’s 24. Assistant pastors, when you take on work — 24. Then what comes out? Why are thieves so good at stealing? Because they do it at 24. Even bad people do 24. Why is a con artist so good at scamming? Because they scam at 24. Why do we say not to do drugs? Because drugs become 24. What’s the caution about gaming? If you’re not careful, gaming becomes 24. 24.

Then 25 comes. A work called eternity remains.

This is what you must enjoy over the three-day weekend, especially on the Lord’s Day. When the three-day weekend age opens, our elders, adults, and pastors must hold forums with the Remnant. Our Remnant’s one weakness is this — you have less experience than us. Since your future is still ahead, you have less experience. That’s why your prayer is necessary. What great advantage do you have over us? The future still lies ahead of you. That’s why we hold forums.

■ Main

[1] One Whose Prayers Are Answered

Looking at the word this way, it looks entirely different. So next month is Colossians — what comes first? Once you know this, you come to know prayer. The more you enjoy this, the more you come to know prayer.

[2] One Who Holds the Mystery of Christ

What comes next? It’s not just going. You don’t go to evangelize. You go to deliver the mystery of Christ. This is what you come to hold. Why does missions fail? If you cannot see the mystery of Christ, missions cannot happen. You must wait on the field until you see the mystery of Christ you are to deliver.

[3] One Who Is Together

One who is together with Christ and with others.

[4] Discipleship in Evangelism

In the end, you become a disciple of evangelism. Make sure of this even now. “I need to make a living” — is that the answer? That is basic. You must not say that. You must succeed enough to become a disciple of evangelism. You must take hold of the covenant from the very start. We tend to listen to worldly words, our parents’ advice — and often it sounds right, but it’s not the message God gives. You must be cautious of that. As much as possible, don’t give our Remnant your own personal opinions. Even doing just a little brings answered prayer.

In the past, this is what I used to do — I would give Remnant and young adults homework. I told them to think about it. Then I had them present what they thought. That alone wasn’t enough. Then, what does God’s word actually say? Very often we discover we had it completely wrong. If you pray like that, would it be enough? That’s why the three-day weekend is important. You must do everything during the three-day weekend. It’s just called “the three-day weekend,” but on Friday you can gather comfortably in the evening — no need to wait until late at night. Just gather comfortably whenever, no fixed time needed, whenever people gather in the evening. But since you need to plan together, you can set a time. Then what should be decided? “Ah, this month we will do this.” “This month we will hold a forum on the five paths,” or something like that. “This month we will invite someone for the Remnant.” Remnant have much to learn. Remember the ones we recently selected for Bartizan? They are important people. They are people you will need in your future. Your current job is going to disappear entirely. That’s why you must prepare for the future now, and that’s why you must pray now, and that’s why they were established.

But actual prayer must be done by yourself — you must find this blessing at Sunday worship. Write it down.

[1] One Whose Prayers Are Answered

What comes out of one whose prayers are answered?

1. In Christ — grace — peace
You come to enjoy what is in Christ. Grace and peace, a very important phrase. Grace is the cause, peace is the result. Very important.

2. Faith, hope, love
Those whose prayers are answered gain three things. They follow along. Faith always leads to works. Right? Those with hope can endure. Right? Those who have hope. Those who love can labor and dedicate themselves. This is from the first day to the last.

3. Fruit
Fruit comes out. Look for it. You must do it.

[2] One Who Holds the Mystery of Christ

1. What is hidden
There is something hidden in Christ. So on the Lord’s Day, take hold of this, take hold of the covenant, and pray, is what I’m saying. What is it? It says all wisdom, knowledge, and treasure are hidden. You must find it — on the Lord’s Day. All wisdom, knowledge, treasure. That’s right. Find it.

2. Engraving, rooting, building into character
Gather on the Lord’s Day and let this become engraved, rooted, built into your character. What? Look at Colossians chapter 2. I’m only telling you what you must absolutely do right now. You yourselves must do the rest.

3. Mystery
What must you do and deliver? The mystery. All Remnant have a mystery. Finding it is important. Others too have a blessed mystery from God. Find it and deliver it.

[3] One Who Is Together

Third Sunday. There is the root of idol worship.

1. Thought → obsession
If you live according to your own thoughts, it leads to obsession. This is the root of idol worship. You must remember this. Humans are thinking creatures, but that is a natural characteristic for those who haven’t been saved. We are people who turn thought into prayer. You must remember this.

2. Outside of Christ
Why does everyone fail? Being outside Christ. Being outside Christ is a target for Satan’s attack. Being outside Christ is complete darkness. Remnant must remember this.

3. In the Lord
All people, in the Lord. How must you be? In the Lord. That’s what you study on the third Sunday.

[4] Discipleship in Evangelism

What is the fourth Sunday?

1. Be awake
God told you to be watchful in prayer with thanksgiving. It’s not “staying up all night not sleeping, exhausted” but “be watchful with thanksgiving.” That’s in verse 1.

He said to make known the mystery of Christ. That’s verse 3. So be watchful. He will give you the right words to say. Be watchful. You must remember this.

2. True comfort
What is needed on the field? True comfort. Colossians chapter 4. Remnant must remember this. Parents

… expect to receive comfort. Everyone is taught that way. Schools teach it that way. Television lectures teach it that way. Why? Because that’s all they have.

We are not that way. We receive God’s comfort and deliver it through that. Everything else is spiritual loss. Meeting with friends and talking a lot — that helps. Meeting someone and talking all night about your old stories, your wounds — that helps too. But spiritual growth does not happen. Do you understand? I find it regrettable. Most of it is basically lies. Jesus called that a thief, called it a robber.

Remnant must receive God’s comfort and save even their parents. Isn’t that right? Remnant must receive God’s comfort and, with that strength, go comfort even kings in other nations, that’s what I mean.

3. Onesimus
Here comes Onesimus. Who is Onesimus? He was a thief who stole things, and he met Paul in prison. There he received the gospel. Whose house did he steal from? He stole from the house of a man named Philemon. He was Philemon’s servant. So, having stolen, he was thrown into prison. But this Onesimus became a disciple. At that time Paul wrote a letter to Philemon. That is the book of Philemon. What did he write? Paul wrote a letter to Philemon, the elder in that region. “Forgive Onesimus. He has become completely my disciple. Receive Onesimus.” This is important. We wouldn’t forgive someone even if they died for what they did wrong. But Onesimus was later sent as overseer to the church of Colossae. Watching this, I thought, “Ah, one who holds the gospel truly is different.” Philemon the elder welcomes Onesimus as a leader. He had been his own servant. Doesn’t that teach you something? Our Remnant must grow into a large vessel. Let’s pray.

Prayer

We thank You, God. Give our Remnant new grace. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
