Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8
♠Introduction
▶Today, our Lecture 1 is something you need to prepare for as a lifelong task. You all have the qualifications to do it, you just lack a bit of confidence. And it needs to be the center, it cannot become some kind of program or a side thing. You must clearly change the bartizan of those members. Precious people from many ethnicities have come, and they already carry something else with them. Among the 5,000 people groups, those who are struggling will not say it to you directly, but they have a completely different kind of thirst from yours. First of all, life is hard here, and if you go back to their countries, it is even harder. They carry so many things they cannot speak of. As I have always said, those who escaped from North Korea and crossed into China and then into Korea have no shortage of hidden hardships. We must quickly change their bartizan. That is healing, that is fixing the root, and it is something you absolutely can do.
▶What are the “concerns of new members”? There may be many, but other concerns will pass with time. About 90% of them will pass even if you leave them alone. But this one is different. This work does not pass just by leaving it alone.
①Academic studies- Just looking at what is visible to our eyes, the number one concern of the Remnant is academic studies. What to major in, how to advance in school — they cannot help but have these vague worries.
②Employment- And also, they cannot help but worry about how to find employment. They should be able to not worry about it, but the reality is they cannot help it. The truth is, if they get the important answer, they do not need to worry. So because they just do not understand, I tell the Remnant: it is okay to clean, you first need to succeed at cleaning before you can become a household manager; even if you fall completely to the bottom, it is okay, if you succeed there you will even meet a king — it is that kind of thing, so they cannot help but worry a great deal.
③Shamanism- When we actually evangelize, among new believers, those who have come out of shamanism are truly struggling. They used to have income back in the old days. These people are now completely called ones, yet they must be considered the most marginalized in the church — that is the situation. And it is not easy for them to expose themselves and deal with their difficulties. So among those who have come from that background, those who can evangelize need to be properly prepared and sent out.
④Arts, sports, and physical education people- Also, these are very talented people, yet in my view the most heartbreaking thing — the reason I single them out — is because they are people who can be used for evangelism. Apart from a few exceptional individuals, arts, sports, and physical education people almost all struggle financially. Every so often 0.1% of them make money, people talk about how much wealth they have, but apart from that almost all of them struggle. Yet these people are truly talented individuals. And they are people who have invested their time and much of themselves into their field.
⑤Entertainers- And beyond these people, there are also countless entertainers. Almost all of them struggle as well.
⑥Daily life (world evangelization?)- Now, we need to give these people accurate answers. In reality, they may be able to manage daily life somehow. They can get by one way or another, but actual world evangelization is impossible for them. In church we always talk about world evangelization, but in reality it is difficult.
⑦Work people (work)- And among them, what about the work of our work people? The work of these work people needs to receive proper answers before world evangelization can happen, and this area is actually difficult as well.
※Decision- Among new members, another thing especially worth noting is that many people have come to church after making a decision because things had just stopped working out for them. There are also those who came having received the gospel and being led here, but most of those who made their own decision — when you look at them — made that decision in the midst of hardship and came.
▶Introduction- The answer (the path) We must not miss the chance to give these people answers. First of all, we need to give them accurate answers. These people are in that situation, and almost no Christians can give them answers. You need to give answers and show them the path. When someone comes from abroad or a called one comes, you need to show them the path so that person can go in the right direction. What kind of path must you show them?
- Fact ▶First of all, Christians today have actually missed many of the facts.
(1) Slave (prime minister)- What facts have they missed? Well, a person who was taken as a slave became a prime minister — it is a fact, but the problem is it does not connect with me. Someone was taken as a slave and yet became a prime minister — it is an extraordinary fact, yet we cannot grasp this fact.
(2) Adopted son (world leader)- I have thought about this a great deal. Someone who went as an adopted son became a leader who moved the entire world. This is a fact, yet I cannot grasp this fact right now.
(3) Orphan (Mizpah)- Even further, was it not Samuel who was in a state nearly like an orphan? This person carried out the Mizpah movement.
(4) Shepherd (king)- A figure like David was a shepherd who became a king. These kinds of dramatic, movie-worthy things actually happened.
(5) Farmer (Dothan)- As you know, a person who was a farmer became the central figure of the Dothan movement.
(6) Prisoner (leader of kings)- Even one who was taken as a prisoner became a leader of kings. These are undeniable facts, yet there is such a large gap between them and us.
(7) Wanderer (world evangelization)- And finally, when you look at it, the Remnant were scattered as wanderers, and this is what carried out world evangelization. This is a tremendously important historical fact. Now, I will speak about this in the Main today. Why were these facts missed? You must be sure to tell new members, and you must be sure to find them yourselves. In my view, this is more important than evangelism itself.
- Background ▶Because of this, they have nearly lost sight of their background entirely. So how have they been living up until now? The truth is this.
(1) What was learned from the world- What was learned from the world — as it is — does that match or not match? When you look at most of the elders, they are not the kind of person who just goes by what they learned from the world, are they? Even though God has given them an extraordinary background, they are operating with what they learned from the world.
(2) What was seen in the culture of darkness- Inevitably, what was seen inside this culture of darkness — that is what they are doing now.
(3) Fate (survival)- Because of this, they cannot find a clear path, and they end up just surviving within fate — that is the situation.
- 300%- Food, clothing, and shelter ▶Because of that, most people have missed this. They have missed the word 300%. They have actually missed it. The facts of answered prayer, the background we have, the blessing of 300% — with this, world evangelization is possible. They have actually missed all of this. So where do they remain stuck? They remain stuck at food, clothing, and shelter. We also need to get out of this quickly. If members remain stuck at food, clothing, and shelter — I need to eat, I need to sleep — these things are urgent, so how can world evangelization be possible? That said, this is not something we can just skip over. We absolutely must receive answers, so in a sense this is a mission. So as you pray, you need to open up the three-day weekend age so that all work people can actually hold onto this and receive answered prayer. In a sense, although we are called new members (training), it is even more necessary for existing members. For new members it means a direct opportunity has come — it is also necessary for us.
(1) Hegemony- So because the problem of food, clothing, and shelter becomes the answer, in powerful nations they are using this to pursue hegemony. It is that way now and it was that way in the past — there is nothing else to do. Today in the news, President Trump came out saying he would impose tariffs on Korea. And immediately those who export in our Korea face difficulties. People are already saying things are hard, and an even harder situation is coming. Because the Middle East and Russia keep going to war, even traveling is difficult. Powerful nations are using this to pursue hegemony.
(2) Vassal state- Inevitably, developing nations become vassal states to this. Because there is no alternative, at this point — as you know — this church, Israel, does not know what it should do.
(3) Errand running- Those who are considered somewhat educated, those who are considered successful, end up in the position of running errands for these hegemonic nations.
▶Nevertheless, the three organizations have produced this (300%). They have produced 300%. What makes those people even more dangerous is that they produced it through the power of the Nephilim. That is what makes it even more dangerous. When a person has a problem and goes to a shaman, they do a gut ritual for about three hours — the effect comes right away, does it not? It would come. That is the power of the Nephilim. If you are not careful, an even bigger problem comes. Foolishly, people know this and still fall for it. I heard that some people have taken on enormous debt, a problem has come, and it turns out they are even going to gut rituals. These people are not even struggling to eat and live. They are just so desperate and mentally broken. Something strange starts coming over them, and so they end up going to a gut ritual. So what is the conflict for many church leaders? Would a church leader not want to give offerings when the church is struggling? Our trained church leaders are all gathered here in our denomination, and if these people receive economic blessing, they will immediately give it to the church.
▶Main- What facts must we find? We absolutely must find them.
- Calling → Talent (heavenly mandate, vocation, mission — 40 days) ▶There is definitely something God has given. We look at that and call it a calling (天職, heavenly vocation). Ordinary people use this word too, but as for us, the time has come for us to find this. The heavenly mandate God has given. What is God’s command for why I am living on this earth right now? Why were you called now? That is vocation. What are you called to do? That is mission. Finding this is now the key. This is something they need to experience at least once, and finding this is the key. So why did Jesus explain the 40 days? If you pray with concentration for 40 days, something will come out, right? Restore this time — the three-day weekend age. And from here, as you know, what came out was…
1) 7 bartizans ▶The 7 bartizans came out. If you continue this prayer, you will definitely see them. I believe new members should experience this first of all. And I believe you must definitely have this as well. And the thing that is so simple is what Jesus said: Only!
2) 7 journeys ▶When you pray, you go on the journey of saving this age…
3) 7 guideposts ▶You are able to set up guideposts. That is the word He gave us.
▶Every day- Strength, reality, answers (time) / Only (flow, concentration, answers) So you just need to teach them what you do. I am currently doing interviews with young adults, and I am making sure to tell young adults what I do. Whether they do it or not, you need to tell them. The purpose I am searching for is to raise up an important bartizan, but there is almost no one who looks like they will become a bartizan. So I feel directly — ah, it really cannot be done without the three-day weekend age, I need to teach better, this is all that is coming out. And so I feel that a tremendous amount of blessing is going almost completely unenjoyed. Then what about new members? In a sense it is a miraculous schedule. In a sense, new members understand better. I tell them what I do every day. The time to receive strength — that is the morning time. The time to confirm — that is the afternoon time. The time to receive answers — that is the evening time. Even just doing this covers the full 24. You must teach this. Receive the strength God gives, look at reality through those eyes, and God will surely give you answers — and these answers accumulate and become 300%.
▶And so Jesus said: Only — look at the flow that has been testified up to now. Nothing has ever changed the world except the gospel and the power of the throne. No theologian has ever changed it. Only those who held the gospel changed it. No politician has ever changed it. Only evangelists who held the gospel changed it. Historically, not missing that flow — that is what “only” means. So do not do the wrong thing, do not do something different — that is what “only” means. Focus intensively on what Christ has given — limited concentration. Should you not experience this at least once? To become a soccer player you need to gather together, practice, and build your skills — you cannot go to a world competition without any preparation at all. I feel a little bad saying this, but watching Korea play soccer against China, the gap was so large it looked like Korea was just using it as a practice session with the young players. Looking at our players, you can already see they have practiced enormously. So the way they handle the ball is different. That does not come without practice. So limited concentration, chosen concentration — then what about everything else? It all gets saved. Oneness concentration — but then we face so many difficulties as we go. Acceptance — if you fully accept, you become the same as them. Transcendence — then you have nothing to do with those people anymore. That is giving them answers. That is what we call “only.”
▶These three concentrations, “only” — you need to do this at least once. Set a time and do it. That is why Jesus concentrated for 40 days. From now on, let us do this concentration at the all-night prayer meeting, or let us do it at early morning prayer — that is how it should be. Back when I was an associate pastor, if there was an evangelism team I would say let us come out at early morning prayer and do it — those people were mainly the deaconesses, since they come to early morning prayer. Young adults do not have time so they do it on Saturdays. That is the three-day weekend age — you concentrate just a little and a work of God happens. Acceptance and transcendence are not just things you do — they are giving answers. In the end it is all answers. And along with that I have something I do at every given hour. What do you need to do at every hour? You need to do the work of restoring your roots. Please make sure to do this. You must teach it to new believers. There are blessings you enjoy every day, but there are also things to do at every hour. Today it was extremely hot, so I exercised twice in front of a fan. Why? Because I was separated from you all for two hours. I always do it. I do the breathing for recovery, health recovery. I focus in prayer on this, and then I exercise. So I am bringing everything of mine back to life. Do not make it hard at all — just do it comfortably. My constitution is not suited to going to some gym and working out — that does not work for me. And scheduling a set time and doing something — that does not work for me either. Scheduling a time and praying — that does not work for me. I just do it unconditionally. Comfortably, 24 hours. You need to teach new members that. New members, with just a little prayer, a work of God happens. That is where what God gives comes out. Is that not what we call talent? So instead of doing this even once (300%), they just go about it haphazardly. They listen to what a friend says and do that, listen to what a relative says and do that, hear what an acquaintance says and do that — how foolish is that? Do not miss these facts in that important life — do not let new members miss them either.
- Standard ▶This is the second fact. What is the standard? You receive this and pray, but what is the standard? This is more important than work itself.
1) WIO ▶Be sure to find WIO. It will definitely come out.
2) OUR ▶Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation will come out, so find them.
3) Absolute plan ▶From this point, God’s absolute plan — or the absolute bartizan — comes into being. It will definitely appear.
(1) Edit- With this, you keep editing continuously until the Word is fulfilled.
(2) Design- You keep designing until the prayer that Christ promised is fulfilled.
(3) Blueprint- You keep blueprinting until the actual door opens.
▶You just keep doing this. I do it for hours, I do it at night — it is so good. All of these things become the secret to recovering health. As I said before, the days when I accidentally wear clothes without pockets are very uncomfortable. Because I need to keep taking notes — prayer keeps coming out. Things to write down — but if I fail to write something down, I cannot remember it later. This is how much God works in us — and this is the standard. He is clearly with you, working as Emmanuel, causing all things to work together to accomplish God’s plan, being with you in Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation — then will not an absolute plan come out? This is the standard. But most people, when you look at what they do, they just do whatever they think. You are not that kind of person. It is the absolute plan. Simply put, the absolute bartizan has been established. From this point on, answers begin to come easily. You need to tell them this.
- Goal ▶What on earth is the goal? What is the goal of work?
1) Prayer 300% (WIOS) ▶It is the same thing — what does prayer 300% mean? It came up earlier, right? The WIO system has been built. Finally, it will definitely be built. The WIO system gets built right there. Then answers keep coming. People who do not evangelize ask: “Why are there so many terms in the upper room?” If you do not have children, you do not need names. Why would someone who has not even had children be naming children? Going to someone else’s house and asking “why are there so many names in this house?” — that makes no sense. If you do not go to the field, you do not need field vocabulary. This is the goal.
2) Work 300% (OURS) ▶300% will definitely come out in the work you do. What is that? Not just Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation — the system of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation gets built. Simply put, the bartizan of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation has been erected. Then answers keep coming.
3) Evangelism and mission 300% (Acts 13/16/19) ▶Finally, evangelism and mission 300% comes out. Your work is used for this. Where is all of this contained? It is all contained right here. Acts 13, 16, 19 — evangelism and mission 300% is contained in here. The guidance of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Holy Spirit — it is all in here. Healing of the Nephilim — it all comes out right here.
▶So for new members to know this and pray — you do not need to use words like “answers are coming” or “answers are not coming.” You just go as it is. Undeniable works of God will happen. And the more you have personally enjoyed this, the better you will be able to speak about it. Because you are a witness. And even if you have not enjoyed it, you are someone who proclaims God’s Word — you are not speaking your own things. Many people speak as if they are saying the right things and tell you to share what you have personally experienced — that is understandable, but no. When you have proclaimed God’s Word, works happen together. Peter did not do it already knowing everything. He just listened to God’s Word and proclaimed it together, and works happened together. You are ministering because of new members, and you yourselves come alive. The church comes alive. This is a tremendously important part.
♠Conclusion: “The March of World Evangelization” ▶So you need to conclude it this way. What conclusion comes out? You have joined the march of this world evangelization — the very act of joining is the blessing. But when you look at those who truly receive answers, there are more new members among them. You need to talk about three people.
- Rahab the harlot ▶Rahab the harlot. A complete outsider, a complete new member — and there is no one who received as many answers as Rahab. You need to tell them about her.
- Ruth the Moabite woman ▶A foreign woman — Ruth the Moabite woman received extraordinary answers.
- Gentile- Priscilla ▶The Gentile Priscilla received the greatest answers of all.
▶So even though they are new members, God has given them the blessing of joining this march of world evangelization. Do not be deceived by anything else — now hold onto this, pray with concentration, and receive your answer. It will come. Because of you, works happen in other people’s lives as well. You must have confidence in this. Among those who produce this, even making just one person will cause works to happen.
▶Then what is the true conclusion that comes out? God prepares people who will do this — such people — and attaches them to you. You cannot attach Rahab the harlot to someone like Korah. Right? Korah — the person who was always making strange noise in the wilderness. Who did He attach Rahab the harlot to? He attached her to the spies and caused her to meet Joshua and Caleb right then and there. As you know, who did He attach Ruth the Moabite woman to? He attached her to Naomi. Who did He attach Priscilla to? He attached her right to Paul. So you need to be clearly certain of what might seem like a misconception but is not. Wherever you go, God will move the history of this earth. Why? Things like this will happen — that is okay. Earthquakes, wars will happen — that is okay. These are the words Jesus spoke. There will be turmoil — that is okay. After the gospel has been testified to all nations, then the end will come — that is why He said it. Wherever you move, God moves history forward. It may not look like it, but when it has passed you will know. “Ah, that is what it was!” You must tell new members that you are in this march. There is no greater covenant than this.
We will have our important final message in about 10 minutes.
