Hymn
Perfect You Are My God
Rose Park

Perfect You are my God
Righteous and Holy
In all of Your ways
Revealing Your glory
In all that You do
All men will worship You

I will worship You
I will praise Your name
For You are the only Lord and King
I will worship You
I will praise Your name
My desire is to honor You Lord


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

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


Hymn
Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Samuel Stennett 

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior’s brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o’erflow,
His lips with grace o’erflow.

No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav’nly train,
Who fill the heav’nly train.

He saw me plunged in deep distress,
And flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.

To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave,
And saves me from the grave.

Hymn
Take the Name of Jesus with You
Lydia Baxter

Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you;
Take it then where’er you go.

Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav’n.
Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav’n.

Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev’ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer.   Refrain

Oh! the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When his loving arms receive us,
And his songs our tongues employ.  Refrain

At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at his feet,
King of kings in Heav’n we’ll crown him,
When our journey is complete.  Refrain


Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 3:1-19
Carmetta Williams

The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.

One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called Samuel.

Samuel answered, “Here I am.” And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.”

Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.

A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

10 The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

11 And the Lord said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle. 12 At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. 13 For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them. 14 Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”

15 Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision, 16 but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”

Samuel answered, “Here I am.”

17 “What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.” 18 So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the Lord; let him do what is good in his eyes.”

19 The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.


Message
Loneliness is the Time Schedule To Change Yourself
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

▣ Introduction: The blessing of the saved
The God who protects you and the covenant do not change. When difficulties become so severe that you cannot see the Word and cannot even pray, what should you do?

1. The Holy Spirit knows our weaknesses and intercedes for us with groaning. He makes all things work together for good (Romans 8:26, 28).
1) Parents’ hardships – discovering prayer topics
2) Church difficulties – discovering life direction
3) Difficulties in the world – discovering your mission
2. If you are able to pray, 300% will come forth.
3. If you wait, you will see what belongs to God.

※ Witness (one who knows the gospel) – one who has seen, one who knows, one who possesses.
1. Heavenly mandate – make prayer 300%, work 300%, evangelism and missions 300%.
2. Calling – I and my household are the mission home, RUTC, and the regional church.
3. Mission – there is a hidden secret that no one knows that saves the age.

▣ Main: The answers you will receive
1. My suffering – a time to see the problems of this age and God’s plan
1) Israel’s suffering during the era of the fourteen judges – Hannah realized that a Nazarite with faith and strength was needed to stop this.
2) Hannah sent her God-given son, Samuel, to the temple according to her vow
3) “Eli lay down in his place, and the boy Samuel lay down near the ark of the covenant”

2. My loneliness – a time to hear God’s voice regarding real-life problems
1) The problem of the church and our home now – there is no one lying beside the ark of the covenant.
2) Consequence – The Word was completely cut off, their eyes grew dim, and visions could not be seen
3) Loneliness – It is the time to lie beside the ark of the covenant and hear God’s voice. When the Word of God that will be fulfilled comes, no one can stop it
4) Samuel who became a spiritual summit – “Not one of his words fell to the ground.”

3. Incidents – God opened the eyes to see the future, and it changes into 300% where you realize the hidden secret no one knows
1) The invasion of the Philistines – Eli’s two sons died in battle, and Eli also died. The ark of the covenant, which Samuel had been guarding, was taken.
2) Samuel, who had lain beside the ark and whose words did not fall to the ground, must have prayed.
3) Wherever the ark of the covenant went, disasters began to fall. So they sent the ark back.

▣ Conclusion: The answers Samuel received
1. The suffering experienced by the seven Remnants and people of faith
1) Joseph – he realized that the dream he had was the covenantal dream the Lord desired for that age.
2) Moses – he realized that his suffering was the suffering of Israel.
3) David – he knew that the humiliation caused by Goliath was related to the future of the nation and the people and to the glory of the Lord, so he went out in the name of the Lord.
4) Spafford – though he lost his family, he discovered God’s grace within it and changed the world.
5) Pastor Joo Ki-chul – he realized it was connected to the church and truth, and to the destruction of Japan and Korea, so he held onto the covenant.

2. The loneliness you experience – an important timetable of God
1) A time to find the self that God created
2) A time to focus and immerse yourself before God
3) A time of being filled
4) A time to realize evangelism and missions – if you do not know evangelism, you cannot escape poverty of spirit and body; if you do not know missions, you cannot block disasters.

3. The time of prayer and worship in your daily life is an incredible time – just holding onto the covenant brings change
1) Hannah realized that what she thought was her problem and suffering was not actually hers
2) Samuel’s loneliness – a time to hear God’s voice
3) Incidents opened the eyes to see the future. “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war. Those who saw Samuel believed in God.”

Hymn
I Know Not Why God’s Wondrous Grace
D. W. Whittle

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me is daily shown,
Nor why, with mercy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for his own.

But “I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto him against that day.”

I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in his word
Wrought peace within my heart.  Refrain

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him.  Refrain

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with him,
Or meet him in the air.  Refrain


Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

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


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

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

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

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


Benediction

The Holy Temple That Will Heal Egypt’s Idols

Prayer Journal: March 21, 2026
15. Jun. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 3:18–20


Remnants live based on what they learn as children. Even for adults, the grace we occasionally receive is what sustains us. If that is the case, we must realize the definite reason. We must deeply understand the reason why we are talking about temple construction. Right now, Israel has come to the point of death as slaves. At that time, God gave the solution. He told them to go and give the blood sacrifice. That is the solution to break down the darkness. Others did not know, but Moses understood. He said that Pharaoh would not listen easily. However, God said, “I will strike him with a mighty hand.” He was told to go with conviction.

It is the temple to heal Egypt. We read Exodus 3:18-20. However, most of the people of Israel did not realize the reason why they went out to build the Tabernacle. They just did it because they were told to. Actually, David fully prepared for the Temple, but even the people after him did not realize the reason. Many difficulties came. The temple was torn down and rebuilt; the one built then was the Herod Temple. In truth, even those people did not realize the reason. Jesus was angry. If you do not realize the reason, you cannot gain anything. In fact, because the world churches do not realize why they must build and evangelize, they just do it.

▣ Introduction: Darkness
The entire world is fallen into darkness. Whether you believe it or not, it is a fact.

Advanced Nations
It was the same then and it is the same now. It is the field of advanced nations. Satan knows this all too well.
1. Nephilim Culture: He planted complete Nephilim culture in the fields of advanced nations. That is why they build massive temples of darkness. Surprisingly, the people laboring there were the people of Israel. It makes no sense. If they are not careful, Remnants will end up running errands in the field of darkness.
2. Nephilim Enterprises: Consequently, Nephilim enterprises are bound to emerge. If church officers and elders are not careful, they will suffer in the field because they are connected this way. Therefore, nothing but 300% will work. We must always prepare for 300%. Again, 300% means that God has prepared something perfect for me. He has also prepared it in the field. It is certain that He has prepared everything even for the future. If so, Remnants must study while looking at that. Church officers must go out holding onto that to save them.
3. Nephilim Posterity: Because of this, it’s not just Nephilim enterprises; they have made all the posterity into Nephilim. From what I see, surprisingly, the musicals and music in the US, Europe, and especially the UK are all Nephilim culture. Even in movies, whenever something about the Nephilim appears strongly, they give it an award. Surprisingly, someone recently received a Nobel Prize. All of that content is about the Nephilim. I’m sorry to say, but that individual will suffer greatly. Someone must evangelize to that person. They will suffer intensely. They don’t know it. Even if they did, what could they do? They cannot escape.

Developing Nations – Idols
Have you ever been to a developing nation? It’s a country in a stage of development, neither a fully advanced nation nor a third-world nation. Taiwan is one such country. You will see it if you go there. There are idols in every house, every alley, and every resort. They are right in front of the house doors. It is a complete idol village. They don’t know how terrifying this is. So, I deliberately had someone ask. Gather the Taiwanese children and ask. Ask a child walking on the street: “Raise your hand if you can’t tell your parents, but you can’t sleep at night and feel oppressed and tormented.” Eight out of ten raised their hands. The adults do not know.

Underdeveloped Nations
You must study a lot about underdeveloped nations. Since we must save the 5,000 tribes, you must continue to study underdeveloped nations as there are many materials lately. As you might roughly expect, the poverty is beyond words. They build houses on top of large rivers. But that river water is complete mud. They wash rags, socks, and clothes there. On one side, someone shakes that water and drinks it, thinking the dirt will disappear if they shake it. Crime? It is beyond words. Because the top is so corrupt, crime is unspeakable. Therefore, our goal to evangelize Oceania through Vanuatu is a great blessing from God. The leaders coming here all have great faith. What does this mean? If it doesn’t go through a missionary, about 90% of the money given to foreign countries can be considered a scam. These people in Vanuatu are not deceivers. They are clean people. It is beyond imagination. If you go further down, child abuse is beyond words, and murder happens commonly. In the Philippines alone, horrific murders are occurring. It’s better not to go outside if possible. It is such a terrifying society. Why did God pick Egypt first? Why do we pray for America? It is because all these problems originate in advanced nations. Therefore, healing those fallen into this darkness is our mission.

▣ Main Body: [People of 24 Prayer, 25 Answer, and 00 Monument]
From now on, the part you must pray about a little is that you must have a final, important experience. The last thing you must do is become a person of 24 prayer. How do you pray 24? It means being a person who is inside prayer. You must experience this once. You are a person of 25 answer, a person who leaves a monument called Eternity. You must have this experience as the final one in your life. I have had this experience many times while evangelizing. When I go, everything is prepared—sometimes to a surprising degree.

[Idol Temples]
All these people have idol temples, but what’s more surprising is that even in underdeveloped countries, the idols are built large. It is completely their culture. Therefore, what is the blessing we must do first?

Exodus 3:18
Build the temple of Exodus 3:18.
[Israel – First]
Light must shine upon Israel first.
1. Exodus 2:1-10 (Light of the Palace): Because of this, God sent Moses as light into the palace. Because the Egyptian palace is the most important place, He sent him to shine the light there.
2. Exodus 3:1-10: God’s plan is fulfilled without fail. At this time, Israel became complete slaves. While Moses was in the palace, all the descendants of Israel became slaves.
3. Exodus 3:18, Age 80 (Light): In today’s scripture, in the year Moses turned 80, God completely designates him as the light. He is told to build the Tabernacle and Temple where this covenant is delivered.

[Disaster, Satan, Hell]
You know about this blood sacrifice. It is the power that completely substitutes for these three: disaster, Satan, and the background of hell. Truly, there are many people who do not talk about the Gospel or Satan, but reality is like this. When they run out of things to criticize, they call it “Satanic theology.” There is no such thing as Satanic theology. Satan is Satan. It is reality. Currently, the US and Europe are completely asleep due to this Nephilim culture. I am someone who says, “Don’t go to America unless you have a special mission.” Why go? “Don’t go to Europe unless you have a special covenant.” You go there for no reason and suffer to death. You end up getting all sorts of spiritual problems. It’s crawling with mentally ill people. Nothing but the Gospel will work. That is why it is the covenant God gave Moses for the first time in 80 years: “Go and give the blood sacrifice.” This is no ordinary statement.

Exodus 5:1-12:46
Second, it starts from Exodus 5. What is it? Build the Exodus Temple.
[Egypt – Light]
Shine the light in Egypt.
1. 10 Plagues: As you know, He sent 10 plagues. These 10 plagues completely broke down the culture of Egypt. From a spiritual perspective, He shone the light. He broke down the idols of Egypt and shone the light.
2. Pharaoh: Pharaoh did not realize until the very end. He was only surprised when things turned into blood. The important thing is that the Nile River was their god. Those people consider frogs, lice, and flies as gods—gods of fertility. When He made those things fill the whole village, the people were fed up. Yet Pharaoh did not even blink. Finally, He began to strike the livestock. Simply put, He struck the animals. Livestock was their property. Only then did Pharaoh call Moses. He asked, “What should I do?” He said, “I will let you go, so please remove this plague.” Even then, he didn’t come to his senses. He said, “Don’t go too far.” Pharaoh doesn’t change. Later, boils broke out. From then on, he called again. He asked to resolve this. He thought Moses could resolve it. He called to have it resolved. Once it was resolved, he changed again. Later, hail began to fall. Next, He sent locusts. When the hail fell, all the fruit of Egypt died. When He sent the locusts, they ate all the grain. What did He do later? He sent the plague of darkness. Still, he didn’t change. What was the last plague? He sent the plague that kills the firstborn. Only then did Pharaoh say, “Go quickly.” What he said after that is important: “Do not come back again.” He was sick of them. He told them never to return and to take all their property. He surrendered. No one wouldn’t surrender when their own child is killed. He surrendered. Even after that, Pharaoh followed them. He followed them to the Red Sea. He waited until they were trapped at the Red Sea, and since they had nowhere to go, he led his army out to kill them. At that time, God spoke to Moses first: “The Egyptian army will come to strike you.” He told him in advance. He said, “I will bury the Egyptian army in the Red Sea.” Moses was certain. “Stand still and see the salvation the Lord will bring you.” Thus, almost all the Egyptian soldiers died. However, the devil did not die. He followed again. He followed them all through the wilderness.
3. Blood – Passover: On the Passover when they applied the blood, Pharaoh completely surrendered. Satan only surrenders to this. They were liberated on the day they gave the blood sacrifice. However, it’s not that there was no suffering in the wilderness. There is a reason for that. I came back from idol worship, but things keep touching me. There is no need to be afraid. You must know that it is completely finished through faith. Some people find it so hard that even while attending church, they visit fortunetellers or perform secret exorcisms and get caught. It is finished. But why does difficulty come? There is an important reason.

The Light that Overcomes the Wilderness
God’s light that overcomes the wilderness. This all connects to the Tabernacle and the Temple. You thought they suffered in the wilderness, but they didn’t.
1. Tabernacle of the Three Feasts: The Tabernacle where they saw the evidence of the three feasts.
2. Tabernacle of the Ark of the Covenant: There is a separate blessing for the wilderness road. The Tabernacle with the Ark of the Covenant where they can properly enjoy the Sabbath. He explained this clearly. That is not all.
3. Tabernacle in the Wilderness: The Tabernacle of the covenant in the wilderness that performs the miracles of the wilderness as they go.

[The 5 Books]
From here, the records of the five books emerged. The beginning and the answer to all problems is Genesis. Escaping from darkness is Exodus. Realizing exactly what worship is is Leviticus. Receiving the definite distribution of the land of Israel and the land of Canaan is Numbers. And imprinting, rooting, and making into a nature the immense works that have happened until now for the posterity—that is Deuteronomy. It was worth being in the wilderness for 40 years. That is why. You must know there is a reason for blessing even in your suffering. Let us build the Tabernacle that shines the light to eliminate the darkness in Egypt and the wilderness. You must know the reason. Light must shine upon Israel because they are in darkness. Light must shine upon Egypt because they are in darkness; there is no happiness. Light must shine upon that wilderness. With this light of the wilderness, it is later delivered to the land of Canaan. In this way, we must know the reason and start praying. Evidence will come to you. Then, like David, you just give what God has given you. That is the answer. Since God worked in my industry and worked in our posterity, I naturally just gave it to God. It’s the same thing. I just spoke of God being with me. This kind of conclusion emerges. This week, the 1st service message is important, and you must also hold onto the 2nd service to enjoy the prayer answers you will receive this week. Next week is next week’s blessing. This week, you must do this prayer. Exactly what did Samuel start making? He made the temple within himself first. He established the bartizan within himself first. You must pray for this all week long. Then what is it? Why are we trying to build the temple? You must continue to pray for that reason for a week. Next week will be a different word, but you must not miss the one-week portion. Then, if you continue to pray for a week, the answer will come out again when you go to the conference. Looking at the Core message until Saturday, it becomes a complete answer. I will conclude with three things.

▣ Conclusion

Last Field Message (John 2:12-25)
There is a last field message Jesus gave. What is it? The last message Jesus gave in the field is actually John 2:12-25. What is it? The Three Courts. It means to build a temple that has the three courts.
[Three Courts]
He even got angry. Jesus never got angry during His life, but He even got angry then.

Last Pulpit
What was Jesus’ last pulpit? Where was the last pulpit? On the Mount of Olives. What did He talk about? He explained the things of the Kingdom of God for 40 days.
[Friday-Saturday-Sunday]
He told them to open the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era.

Last Disciple
What is the covenant of the last disciple Jesus left? The last disciple. What kind of person must they be? They must be someone who understands these words.
[Acts 19:8]
It is Acts 19:8. It is Paul. He boldly explained about the Kingdom of God. What does that mean? It is the Era of Meditation. What is meditation? It is the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.

[Meditation]
You are the main figures of these three. The temple with the three courts. The disciple who knows the three courts. The disciple who knows the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. The church with the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. Your industry that enjoys the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era. The era of meditation that finds the completely hidden things. These are the answers you will enjoy. Truly, this Church Officers Missions Conference is a very important conference. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to receive the blessing of being imprinted this week. I will pray.

Prayer. Let us be imprinted with the covenant God gave this week, and let us become the root and nature that completely overcomes darkness. Let healing occur. Let all darkness be bound this week. Let the many curses and disasters that come this week be bound. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Keep Your Eyes Always on the Lord!

Psalm 16:8. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.


God’s heart is always open toward you, inviting you into His presence at any moment of the day or night. Establishing meetings with Him throughout the day has everything to do with the abundant life He promised. When you approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, you position yourself to receive mercy and find the grace you need in your time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

At the throne of the Triune God, you will find a strength that far exceeds your own. While even the young and healthy eventually grow weary and stumble, those who place their hope in the Lord will find their strength constantly renewed (Isaiah 40:31). God will fill you with a comprehensive strength that covers every area of your life—spiritual, intellectual, physical, financial, and the blessing of meetings with the disciples He has hidden for world evangelization. With this power, you will move beyond your own limitations to become a witness for Christ to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

When God is your primary focus, you will not be intimidated by people or envious of their success. You will refuse to compromise with the world’s standards because your satisfaction is found elsewhere. By meeting with Him daily, He will make your faith like a rock (Matthew 16:18) so that you will not be shaken by the storms of life (Psalm 16:8). You will become more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37), grounded in a reality that the world can neither give nor take away.

Jesus Himself demonstrated this necessity despite an incredibly hectic schedule. Between teaching and healing, He barely had time to eat. But His priority remained fixed on his Father. Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, He would withdraw to solitary places to pray (Mark 1:35, Luke 5:16). If the Son of God found it essential to withdraw and pray, sometimes even through the night (Luke 6:12), how much more do we need that daily connection to sustain our own spirits?

Regularly meeting with God also serves as a spiritual shield against the power of sin. By seeking Him with your whole heart and hiding His Word within you, you find that the desires of your old nature lose their grip (Psalm 119:10-11). Furthermore, this daily communion allows you to cast your anxieties on Him and stay alert against the devil, who prowls like a roaring lion looking for an opening (1 Peter 5:7-8). You won’t be easily deceived by the “angel of light” because you are equipped with the full armor of God, ready to stand against the invisible spiritual forces of this dark world (Ephesians 6:11-12).

Through this process, your life becomes an instrument of the gospel. By the power of the gospel, you will open eyes that are blind, set captives free from spiritual prisons, and release those sitting in the darkness of deep-seated dungeons (Isaiah 42:7). The blessing of saving lives will naturally follow a life that is hidden in God. Don’t let the busyness of life rob you of this top priority. Like King David, keep your eyes always on the Lord. You will discover that everything you truly need for your mission is found in that quiet meeting with your Father.


Prayer. Father, I need Your grace and mercy every day and every hour. I commit to keeping my eyes always on You. With You at my right hand, I know I will not be shaken. Fill me with Your Spirit, so I may be Your witness today. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Since That Day (From That Day On)

Prayer Journal: March 20, 2026

Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19


▣ Introduction: Incurable Diseases, Depression, and Difficult Environments
Thank you. Is there anyone here who has been diagnosed with an incurable disease? You must be deeply troubled. Or perhaps you are suffering from depression? Or maybe you find yourself in an extremely difficult environment? I hope that today, all of you will leave with the answer.

In her time, Hannah was a person who suffered from the “incurable disease” of infertility. Because Peninnah tormented her so much, she was in a state of depression that verged on mental illness. Furthermore, the nation was suffering through a period of great difficulty. You must take hold of the important answer today.

1. Making Wrong Prayers or Mistaking Non-answers for Answers
When we face such difficulties, we often end up praying the wrong prayers. We frequently mistake things that are not true answers for “answers.”

1) Abraham, who thought physical needs (food, clothing, shelter) were the answer:
Initially, Abraham kept mistaking non-answers for the real thing. God had already promised him an immense answer: “Go to the land I will show you. Through you, all nations will be blessed. No one will be able to stand against you. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who make things difficult for you.” Despite this, Abraham kept thinking that physical survival was the answer. Thus, he brought difficulties upon himself.
2) The people in the wilderness, who thought simply not starving was the answer:
When we have spiritual problems, we tend to create our own hardships. It was the same during the Exodus. People thought that just making it through the wilderness without starving was the answer. There are many people like that today. God has prepared amazing things—the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant, and the Three Feasts—yet they don’t see those as the answer; they only see making a living as the answer.
3) Thinking that merely defeating the Philistines was the answer:
In today’s scripture, the Philistines are constantly harassing Israel. The people thought that defeating them was the answer. It is not. The true answer is to cultivate the strength to overcome them, the strength to prevent them from attacking, and ultimately, the evangelization of the Philistines.

2. The Way to Receive Answers
The figures who received the true answer during such a time were Hannah and Samuel. How can we receive these answers? This is important. Hannah found this, passed it to Samuel, and Samuel found it as well.

You might ask, “I have an incurable disease; what can I do?” There is a way. There is plenty of evidence. How can an incurable disease be healed? There is only one method. Many suffer from depression or “shamanistic sickness” (sinbyeong). If they don’t do it, they suffer; if they try to do it, problems arise in their families. People are in agony due to mental illness and difficult fields, companies, and nations.

What happened to Samuel? While praying, he heard the voice of God. It wasn’t just that the Temple or the Ark of the Covenant were important; the Temple of God and the Bartizan of God first came upon Samuel himself. “From that day forward, not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” Before we go into the main points, you must find the answer:

1) First, establish the Bartizan of Jehovah within me.
Are you suffering from depression? Spiritual difficulties? Do not worry. If you try to force them away, they won’t go. First, build the Bartizan of Jehovah within you.
2) Make yourself into the Temple of Jehovah.
To be more specific, make yourself the Temple of Jehovah.
3) Let the Word of God come upon you. Wait for the Holy Spirit to work.
To be even more accurate, let God’s Word come upon you and wait for the Holy Spirit. Never give up. Do not do anything else. Works will occur. I have seen cancer patients, abandoned by hospitals, become healed. How? The Bartizan of Jehovah was established. Just as our bodies get sick from shocks, our bodies can be healed when we are filled with the Holy Spirit.

Remnants and church officers, your lives are precious. First, establish the Bartizan of Jehovah. Let the Temple of Jehovah come upon you. Everything else is false; Jesus called them “thieves and robbers.” Let the Bartizan of Jehovah descend.

▣ Main Body

1. Samuel, upon whom the Bartizan, the Temple, and the Word came – Heavenly Mandate (Cheonmyeong)
Samuel experienced the Tabernacle, the Temple, and the Bartizan. This is the key.

1) Samuel lying down beside the Ark of the Covenant:
In chapter 3, verse 3, it says Eli was lying down in his own place. The Word had been cut off. Eli was in his own place, but Samuel was lying down beside the Ark of the Covenant. The aged Eli was in his own place, but the young Samuel was by the Ark. This is the answer. There is no other way. When you have an incurable disease, can a doctor help? Can your family? There is no way. When spiritual and mental suffering comes, who can help?
2) Samuel hearing the voice of God:
It was then that the young Samuel heard God’s voice. Because he had never experienced it, he asked, “What is this sound?” It happened three times. Only then did Eli tell him, “God is speaking to you, so listen carefully. Say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.'”
3) From that day on, Samuel’s words did not fall to the ground:
Simply put, he received the Heavenly Mandate. Do not be discouraged. Do not do anything else. Do not listen to other voices. When you are in confusion or sickness, no one can help you. But the Bartizan and Temple of Jehovah entered him. The Word came upon him.

> ※ 1 Corinthians 3:16
> “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

This is certain. We need to look at this from the opposite perspective as well. To a shaman, one might say, “Do you not know that the evil spirit dwells in you instead of the Holy Spirit?” You must change it. You must change the spirit of Satan that destroys. Nothing is more important than this. Why must you endure? Because you must change the spirit. This is what came upon Samuel. You must start this prayer today.

2. The prayer of Samuel, who possessed the Bartizan and the Temple, does not fall to the ground (1 Sam 3:19).
The prayer of the Bartizan and Temple began. This means as the prayer started, the answers came.

1) The prayer of the one with the Bartizan and Temple turns into a spiritual war.
What happened when Samuel’s words did not fall to the ground?
(1) Samuel’s prayer when the Philistines attacked and took the Ark:
The Philistines attacked. In the process, Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died. Not only that, the Ark of the Covenant was taken. When Eli heard the report, he was so shocked he fell backward, broke his neck, and died. The Ark was gone. What did Samuel do? It is recorded that “not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” His prayer did not stop.
(2) Disasters appearing wherever the Ark arrived:
The Philistines fearlessly took the Ark to the region of Ashdod and placed it in the temple of Dagon. The next morning, the idol of Dagon was found fallen on its face. Its head and hands were broken off. Disasters began to hit the entire region. Taking the Ark was a foolish act. During that time, Samuel was praying. The prayer of one who possesses the Bartizan and Temple is different. The terrified Philistines moved the Ark to Gath, the home of giants like Goliath. Even greater disasters hit—people died overnight, and others were struck with plagues. Finally, they moved it to Ekron, but the people there protested, “Why bring this terrifying Ark here to kill us?” It became a sea of death.
(3) The return of the Ark:
The Philistines decided to return the Ark along with a guilt offering. Thus, the Ark returned.
2) The prayer of a person who has become the Temple and the Bartizan:
One hidden prayer of yours can crumble the darkness. It’s not just that God’s power comes upon you; this prayer begins to influence other places. Establish the Bartizan. Depression patients, do not be discouraged; establish the Temple of Jehovah. Let the Word of Jehovah be planted. When this comes upon you, it becomes not only a Heavenly Mandate but a Calling (Somyeong). A person who has become the Temple can never lose their prayer.
(1) I will build my church on this rock (Matt 16:18): You are the rock. “On this rock, I will personally build my church.”
(2) The gates of Hades will not overcome you (Matt 16:18): Darkness cannot win because the Bartizan has changed.
(3) I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matt 16:19).
I once told a person with a mental illness: “You will never get better.” They were discouraged. Then I said, “If you know the reason why you won’t get better, you can be cured.” The reason? “You are choosing to go into spiritual pain yourself.” They made excuses—blaming their husband, wife, or the Philistines. No, it is because there is no Bartizan inside you.
3) Calling (Somyeong):
Samuel received this from his mother and held onto it. Naturally, his words did not fall to the ground. God’s Word came to him, and he triumphed over great incidents through prayer. He won without fighting. Ordinary people or animals wouldn’t understand this. This is the Calling.

3. The Mizpah Movement
Finally, the Mission (Samyeong) of the one with the Bartizan emerges. This is the Mizpah Movement.

1) Throw away all idols and come before the altar:
“All Israel, discard your idols and come to the altar.”
2) God, who broke the Philistines in advance:
God had already broken the Philistines before they even knew what was happening.
3) Spiritual strength to win without fighting:
“Throughout the days of Samuel, there was no war.” The Philistines could not attack. This is the immense power of winning without fighting. Darkness cannot approach you.

> ※ Cultivate this strength.
> You must cultivate this spiritual strength. Remnants must cultivate it while they are young so it lasts forever. Our church officers must also develop this strength, especially our multi-ethnic members and those serving them. Your labor is never in vain.

※ What happened when parents prayed with spiritual strength:
When Jacob heard Joseph’s dream of world evangelization, the brothers mocked him, but Jacob “kept the matter in mind.” When Joseph was reported dead, how did Jacob feel? But one day, he heard Joseph was alive and was the Governor of Egypt. When Jacob finally met Pharaoh, he immediately raised his hands and blessed the King. This is the power of prayer. Your prayer does not end. The prayer of one woman, Jochebed, produced Moses—the greatest answer in church history. One woman, Hannah, produced Samuel.

▣ Conclusion

1. Matthew 4:19: Jesus, who completed everything, said, “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
2. Matthew 11:28: “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
3. Mark 3:13-15: He called those He wanted to be with Him, to send them out to preach, and to give them authority to drive out demons.
4. Matthew 28:18, 20: “I will be with you always, to the very end of the age… with all authority in heaven and on earth.”
5. Mark 16:19-20: The Lord, who sat on the Throne, worked with the disciples.
6. Acts 1:3: He promised to be with us through the Throne and the Kingdom of God.

> ※ Cultivate fundamental strength.
> Do not delay. Pray all day this Sunday: “Lord, grant me the Bartizan that can save my family, the world, and the field. Let the certain covenant and Temple come upon me.” Healing will occur. The standard is not just “fixing” a disease but making it disappear. You must cultivate fundamental strength.

I heard a testimony from a drug addict. They said that once the Word and the Holy Spirit came upon them, they didn’t even think about drugs anymore. They wondered why they had ever done them. They didn’t need them anymore. If you have depression or a terminal illness, do not worry. Change the Bartizan. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the greatest day of your life.

Prayer. Lord, give us new grace and new strength this week. Let new grace and answers be given to us. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Meeting God: The Church of Christ

Acts 2:42-47. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. 43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.


God paved the way for us to meet Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. He lives in us through the Holy Spirit and works among us through His body, the Church. Tragically, many believers attend church without recognizing the incredible spiritual blessings God has prepared there.

On the surface, the Church of Christ might appear to have nothing; however, in reality, it possesses everything. It may seem powerless in the eyes of the world, but the hand of the Almighty God rests upon it, making it the most significant force on earth. The Early Church understood this; they experienced the blessing of the church—the ekklesia, or the “called out”—to the fullest through four pillars: the Word, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer.

The most important reason God called us as His Church is to worship Him. This was His design from the beginning: He formed a people for Himself to proclaim His praise (Isaiah 43:21). Worship is not merely a ritual or a weekly gathering—it is the wholehearted response of our lives to God’s sovereignty. It is both our highest calling and purpose: to align our hearts with His covenant of world evangelization.

Therefore, Christ’s Church must restore the priority of worship, helping every member devote themselves to the apostles’ teaching. When the Word of life flows from the pulpit, the dry bones of our spiritual conditions come alive, and the weary find supernatural strength as described in Ezekiel 37. As people witness the Word being fulfilled in their daily lives, the message of the Lord spreads widely and grows in power (Acts 19:20).

During worship, a beautiful fellowship unfolds between the Triune God and His children. As we confirm God’s infinite and unconditional love, we restore our identity and our authority as His children. This realization changes how we see those sitting next to us. In the Spirit, we find the strength to maintain a unity that moves beyond a casual relationship to having everything in common and enjoying the favor of all people.

Whether at the church altar or around our own dining tables, experiencing the power of Christ’s death and resurrection—the breaking of bread—is of the utmost importance. This is where we remember the victory of Christ. As the True Prophet, He is the only one who can reconcile a lost world to God. As the True King, He gives us total victory over the enemy’s advances. As the True Priest, He heals the brokenness of the land and our family lines. As we live out this reality, God Himself will add to our number daily those He has appointed for eternal life (Acts 2:47).

Prayer changes everything. Throughout the Book of Acts, God moved whenever His Church prayed—whether it was in the upper room, at the temple gates, or in a prison cell. Prayer is the spiritual engine of the Church. A life-saving work of God will take place when we join together in intercession. Thus, let us lift our communities, schools, and nations to our Father, covering our pastors and gospel laborers in prayer. To reach the lost, let us be willing to become all things to all people so that we might save some in any way possible, as Paul did (1 Corinthians 9:22).

By the power of the Holy Spirit, the Church is called to be both a spiritual hospital and a fortress. We are here to help those suffering from deep-seated spiritual problems and generational curses that have haunted their families for years. It is time for Christ’s Church to rise as a bartizan against the disasters threatening our nation and the world. We are an army of light commissioned to block the darkness and spread the gospel to all nations.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for calling me to Your Church. Open my eyes to see the weight of glory in the assembly of believers. May Your Church arise and shine the light of the gospel to every nation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Bartizan, Journey and Guidepost for the 7 Answers

Prayer Journal: March 19, 2026
14. Jun. 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Ac 19:1-21


As you finish the Church Officers Conference, where must you go? You must go here: to the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost for the 7 Answers.

▣ Introduction: [Now]
There is something you must always remember. You must confirm it at any time. What kind of answers are occurring now?

[1 Samuel 7:1-15]: Right now, God is giving you the blessing of the Mizpah Movement. Israel gathered at Mizpah and confirmed the covenant.
[2 Kings 6:8-24]: And in 2 Kings 6:8-24, the Dothan Movement is taking place. You must find this covenant at all times. Tomorrow’s Sunday worship is the day the works that occurred in Mark’s Upper Room begin.

The Throne
At this time, what is being fulfilled? The Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost of the Throne are being fulfilled.

The Kingdom
At this time, when you hold onto the covenant, God’s Kingdom is being established.

The Work
Then, the work of God’s Kingdom explained by Jesus is being fulfilled. You can confirm this later.

▣ Main Body
From now on, all church officers have something to enjoy every day.

1. Daily – The Manual
That is the Church Officer’s Manual. You must enjoy this daily.

2. Work – The Background
When there is important work, what must you enjoy? There are hidden backgrounds of the church officer. That is the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost.

3. Future Preparation
This is the future preparation church officers must make.

1. Daily – The Manual

1) Summit Concentration Time (Strength) – Platform: From now on, do this every single day. It is Summit Concentration Time. Do it mainly in the morning. When you do this, an immense standard—strength—is created. Then this becomes a Platform. Honestly, this one thing is enough.
2) Summit Goal (300%) – Watchtower: Confirm this daily. What is the Summit’s goal? It is 300%. This becomes a Watchtower that saves others because you can shine the light.
3) Summit Answer (5 Flows) – Antenna: You must enjoy this daily. What is the Summit’s answer? You must confirm the 5 Flows. Confirm this daily within prayer. Pastors must preach using this. You shouldn’t just preach whatever is given; there are 5 flows in that church. You preach with that. These 5 flows become the Antenna. Right? You communicate with God and communicate perfectly with people.
4) Summit Status (Watchman) – Transcending Time and Space: Enjoy your Summit status. What is it? You are a Watchman. Enjoy the 7 Bartizans, Journeys, and Guideposts daily. From then on, you will understand what it means to transcend time and space. An answer regarding transcending time and space will emerge.
5) Summit Authority (Monument) – Unprecedented: Enjoy the Summit authority daily. What is it? You are establishing a very important Monument. This is called Unprecedented (Never before, never again). If you pray daily, something will emerge. When? You don’t need to worry about that. What? No need to worry. You have a “worry-nature,” but there’s no need. You might think, “Won’t this be a disaster?” but that’s just your thought. It seems like everyone is dying, but they don’t. Unprecedented [answers] are for you.
6) Summit Evangelism (Answer) – Region: What is Summit evangelism? There is something you give while preaching the Gospel. You can’t just preach it; you give the Answer. That is evangelism. If you give the answer, you will surely save a Region.
7) Summit Missions (3 Camps) – Nation: Finally, you must know what Summit missions are. It is the Three Camps: the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the work of the Holy Spirit, and the fruit of the Holy Spirit. You will surely save a Nation.

If you pray this daily, your spirit and body will all come to life. This is the standard. I do this daily—actually, I do it almost all day long.

2. Work – The Background [Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost]
Whenever there is work, while always remaining in this prayer, what must you do?

1) Acts 13:1-4: When there is work, you must receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Do not move until the person, place, and work become certain. If it hasn’t come, don’t move or force it. Then, because you are receiving continuous answers, you gain composure. If you have nothing to eat right now, you have to go out because you’re hungry. That state is problematic. But if you have plenty to eat? You have composure. Think that way and surely do it.
2) Acts 13:5-11: Surely, the work of the Holy Spirit. The standard? Nephilim being broken and bound.
3) Acts 13:12: A System is created. The future is created. Always do it this way.

Whenever there is work, do this (Main Body 2). The first part (Main Body 1) is what you enjoy daily. You must gain strength by enjoying it daily. Remnants, if you enjoy this (Main Body 1) in the morning, something amazing will emerge within your studies.

3. Future Preparation
Prepare for the future.

1) Things Missed – Three Courts: It is the Three Courts. They were missed. Because the world churches missed them, the Jews missed them. That is why the Jews perished. Because the world churches missed this, they are closing their doors. To be exact, they naturally should close. A church without the Three Courts is not a church.
2) Things Abandoned – Friday-Saturday-Sunday: The posterity is abandoned. The Friday-Saturday-Sunday era.
3) Disaster – Meditation: Disaster is befalling the world, but many people don’t know how to pray. You must open the Era of Meditation.

From now on, church officers, open your eyes and start.

(1) The Sick: Meet the sick. If possible, go with someone who is at a similar level as that person. Calling them or going anywhere is fine.
(2) New Believers: You don’t need to do it every week. Keep them in your heart, pray, and receive guidance. Meet new believers. New believers visited by ministers are different. They think it’s natural for ministers to come. When they meet a church officer, they realize, “Ah, I am a member of this church.”
(3) Multi-ethnic (RT): Meet multi-ethnic people. You don’t have to meet every week, but try it. Because church officers don’t do these things, you aren’t doing anything important. Multi-ethnic. Olga prayed today, didn’t she? Is there any church officer who met Olga for a meal? Raise your hand. Naturally, there are none. And yet you talk about world evangelization? It makes no sense. Meet them. Included in this multi-ethnic group are the Remnants. Meet them. Think every week: “Who shall I meet today?” Then you will gain interest in the whole church. You’ll connect with the person in charge of new believers—everything.
(4) Making Families: Practice “making families.” You don’t have to do many. Even one person in your lifetime is enough. God doesn’t work just because you do a lot. Even if one person does something important, God works. How can you do world evangelization or evangelize the 237 nations without doing this? There are many abandoned children. How will you do world evangelization? Even if it’s just me, I must do one. That is the church officer in the Bible.
(5) 24 Team (Rom 16): Then it will become like this. You will receive the answers of Romans 16, and a 24, 25, Eternity Team will be formed. 25 and Eternity follow. These are the people of Romans 16. Always in 24-hour prayer with Paul. It must be created this way. In a sense, rather than “making” it, it should be “created.” If you are truly doing these 5 things, it will be created.

Actually, because we are doing nothing that God desires, we cannot confirm whether the Word is being fulfilled or not. I am always thankful for Elder Choi (the judge) in Seoul because he always meets Remnants. Always. How thankful a thing is that. Many civil servants and judges came from there. What does he do? He just meets them and encourages them. Since he became a judge by passing the bar exam, he uses that career as an elder to talk to the children. Some Remnants were completely discouraged but gained strength because of the elder and started anew.

※ The Scattered
And finally, there must be a place where your eyes go: the Scattered. This is actually everything. Who is a missionary? Aren’t they the scattered? Who are the Remnants who went out? Aren’t they the scattered? Who are those facing difficulties? They are the scattered. Those spread across the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes are the scattered. God blesses them, and you must see three Bible verses.

Isaiah 6:13: Everything is destroyed. No, even what remains will be destroyed. “Who will go?” “I will go.” He said no. Send and raise the Remnants (Holy Seed).
Acts 11:19: Those who were severely persecuted. Find them. The scattered. Those facing difficulty. There is surely a plan there. A meeting began in the midst of great difficulty. That eventually became the Antioch Church. Later, missionaries are dispatched from there. A figure named Paul is raised there. Figures with the answers of Romans 16 begin to arise.
Romans 16:1-27: This is the goal. You are protectors, co-workers, and hosts. Those who labor even without possessions, true relatives. Not actual relatives, but like relatives. Those who are dearly loved from such a close distance. To these figures, the things hidden from before the ages, the things that will exist for eternity—now. He promised.

This Church Officers Conference—regions are important, but for me, it was the conference where I received the most grace. Truly, whenever God does a Remnant or Church Officers Conference, He gives something. This time, go carrying these 5 things (the sick, new believers, multi-ethnic (RT), making families, 24 team (Rom 16)). Then it will work. You must recover this part (Main Body 3) for the sake of the future. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We believe You will give new strength to all church officers. Through these people, let everyone come to life. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Meeting God: The Presence of the Holy Spirit

John 16:7. But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.


Through Christ, God changed our eternal destiny forever. But why did He send us the Advocate, the Holy Spirit?

Scripture warns us that Satan’s aggression towards us and the world will continue until the end, urging us to be alert and of sober mind because our enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). This is why Jesus said that if it is by the Spirit of God that He drives out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon us (Matthew 12:28).

Without the presence of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to overcome the kingdom of darkness. Without being filled with the Holy Spirit, it is impossible to change what has been imprinted in us, what has taken root in us, and what has become our nature. Only when empowered by the Holy Spirit will we be able to overcome our weaknesses, the world, and Satan.

If one does not experience the Triune God through Christ, that person is bound to follow a wrong destiny. It will be impossible to overcome problems and trials in life. They are bound to live without clear directions and purpose, seeking answers from the world. This is the consequence of being blinded by the god of this age. Because of their spiritual blindness, people see everything except for the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ, who is the image of God (2 Corinthians 4:4).

Without being able to see what is unseen in the heavenly realms, it would be impossible to overcome the invisible forces of darkness behind all kinds of life’s issues, such as conflicts, worries, and unrest. It grieves our Father when His children live a life that has nothing to do with the blessing of the Holy Spirit. It pains Him to see His children living like orphans or beggars.

Knowing that we won’t survive in this world without His presence, Jesus promised to send us the Holy Spirit. The Spirit of God comes to us in the name of Jesus, the most powerful name of all. The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father sends in Jesus’ name, teaches us all things and reminds us of everything Jesus has said (John 14:26). The Holy Spirit leads us by the Word of God and tells us what we have been given as children of God.

What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us (1 Corinthians 2:12). The Holy Spirit also comes to us with the power of God, which turns our weaknesses into the power to save the world.  We will receive power from the throne of the Triune God when the Holy Spirit comes on us, and we will be Christ’s witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

This happened to those who gathered in Mark’s upper room. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly, a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them (Acts 2:1-4).

When the Holy Spirit moved into their lives, like wind and fire, and enabled them, nothing could stop what God was about to do through these ordinary people. As Jesus promised, this will happen to us as well. We are the people God has chosen to change the world through the power of the gospel. This is our destiny to which our Father is taking us.

Having experienced the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, Peter knew by whose power the crippled beggar got up and walked. When Peter saw this, he asked the fellow Israelites why they were surprised or staring as if by his own power or godliness he had made the man walk. For Peter, this event was more than a crippled man walking; it was all about Christ. He declared that it was by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom they crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that the man stood before them healed (Acts 4:10).

When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, we will become like Peter and John, who declared that they could not help speaking about what they had seen and heard (Acts 4:20). No specialized training is necessary. No educational or financial background is required. It is a matter of whether we have seen and heard. Only that makes one a witness.

Ultimately, this gospel has to reach all nations before the end comes (Matthew 24:14). That is why Jesus promised to be with us until the end. Jesus said that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him. Therefore, we are to go and find God’s hidden disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything He commanded. He promised to be with us always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28:18-20).

In the process, you and Christ will have a feast every day (Revelation 3:20). You will enjoy the abundance of His kingdom. The power of hell will not be able to defeat you any longer (Matthew 16:18). He will prepare a table before your enemy, the devil (Psalm 23:5).

Because possessing the Holy Spirit means possessing everything, we can stand firm even when we appear to have nothing—just as Paul did in his letter to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 6:4-10). He described serving God in great endurance, through troubles, hardships, and distresses. He spoke of being known yet regarded as unknown, dying yet living on, sorrowful yet always rejoicing, poor yet making many rich, and having nothing yet possessing everything.

You may feel weak, but in Christ, you are strong. Paul wrote that he would boast all the more gladly about his weaknesses so that Christ’s power might rest on him (2 Corinthians 12:9-10). He took delight in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and difficulties for Christ’s sake. For when he was weak, then he was strong.

Likewise, let us live in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us rely on the power of the Holy Spirit and follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit in our mission field.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for sending me Your Spirit. He lives in me, guides my life, and empowers me. Fill me with Your Spirit, so I may stand as Christ’s witness to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Hymn
Here I Am to Worship
Tim Hughes


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

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


Scripture Reading
Genesis 4:1-9

Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, saying, “I have gotten a man with the help of the Lord.” And again, she bore his brother Abel. Now Abel was a keeper of sheep, and Cain a worker of the ground. In the course of time Cain brought to the Lord an offering of the fruit of the ground, and Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat portions. And the Lord had regard for Abel and his offering, but for Cain and his offering he had no regard. So Cain was very angry, and his face fell. The Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry, and why has your face fallen? If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, and you must rule over it.”

Cain spoke to Abel his brother. And when they were in the field, Cain rose up against his brother Abel and killed him. Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is Abel your brother?” He said, “I do not know; am I my brother’s keeper?”


Message
The Worship God Desires
Pastor Ryu Kwangsu

What takes place when we worship? The Triune God is working through His Spirit, invisible to the eye. The forces of Satan and darkness crumble. The power of the Throne comes upon us, and the heavenly armies of angels are mobilized. Because Satan knows this, he tries to steal our worship.

1. Those who fail in worship fail in everything.
1) Matthew 4:1-11: Satan’s goal is to change the object of your worship.
2) Genesis 3:1-6: If your relationship with God crumbles, everything else crumbles.
3) Genesis 4:1-7: Success or failure in worship determines the course of your life.

2. The original man enjoyed true blessings.
1) Genesis 1:27: Original mankind was created in the image of God.
2) Genesis 1:28: They received the blessing to rule over all creation.
3) Genesis 2:7: God gave mankind the breath of life.

3. The devil stole mankind’s blessings.
1) Genesis 3:1-6: He deceived mankind into thinking they could be like God; thus, mankind left God.
2) Genesis 3:16-20: Consequently, mankind lives within curses and suffering.
3) John 8:44: We became children of the devil.
4) Ephesians 2:1: We were dead in our transgressions and sins.
5) Ephesians 2:2: We followed the ways of this world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air.
6) Ephesians 2:3: We were by nature children of wrath.

4. God Himself opened the way to meet Him.
1) Genesis 3:15: He promised the Offspring of the woman.
2) Genesis 4:1-9: We meet God through the blood sacrifice.
3) The Incident of the Passover: We were set free from disasters through the blood of the lamb.
4) The Incident of the Cross (Romans 5:8): As Christ died for our sins, He opened the way to meet God.

5. The reason Cain failed in worship (Hebrews 11:4)
We cannot worship truly without the mystery of Christ (the blood sacrifice).

6. The way to continuously enjoy God
1) Genesis 3:15: He promised that the Offspring of the woman would crush the head of the serpent.
2) 1 John 3:8: As promised, Christ came and destroyed the works of the devil.
3) Romans 10:9-10: It is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and with your mouth that you confess and are saved.
4) Ephesians 2:8-9: It is by grace you have been saved through faith—this is a gift from God.
5) John 1:12: When you receive Him, you become a child of God.
6) John 2:1-11: Power is revealed when Christ becomes your Master.
7) Revelation 3:20: Enjoy Christ, who stands at the door and lives in you.

▣ Conclusion – The Posterity
Through worship, we must relay the completeness of worship, the completeness of Christ, and the completeness of answers to our next generation (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8).


Forum and Prayer

The Future Church Officers Must Prepare

Prayer Journal: March 18, 2026
14. Jun. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Mt 27:25


Introduction
What is the future that our church officers must prepare? There are many things, but the future you are preparing for is the Remnant. Therefore, there are a few things you must absolutely understand.
1) Disaster: Why did the posterity of Israel go as slaves, captives, and wanderers?
(1) Adults: It was the fault of the adults.
(2) Nation: There were problems within the nation as well.
(3) Religion: Religious leaders were also a problem. Because of these, disaster befell them.
2) Scars – Misunderstanding: Unexpectedly, our posterity carries many scars. they are scarred at home, even at school, and even after coming to church. You must converse with them about these things. Because they are in a state of mostly having many misunderstandings—honestly, they shouldn’t be scarred by parents at home, right? If they understood their parents, they wouldn’t be scarred, but they receive them because they don’t understand. Just because they are parents doesn’t mean they can do everything perfectly for us, does it? However, the most frequent scars occur at home. If you church officers do not help them during the Friday-Saturday-Sunday Era at church, there is actually nowhere else for them to receive help. This becomes a problem later when they get older.
3) Desolation – Prayer: On top of that, the reason we must do this is that the spiritual state of Remnants has become desolate—not necessarily to the point of mental illness, but it’s a huge problem. What does that mean? They almost cannot pray. If a Remnant can pray, everything is resolved, but in reality, they cannot pray. Once in a while—one in a thousand or ten thousand—there are children among the young Remnants who pray. The characteristic of these children is that they receive more answers than adults, don’t they? Though young, these children have better thoughts than adults. However, most Remnants are unable to do this. You must do this. Therefore, do not miss Saturdays; since the Core [Message] gathers everyone, any place is fine—have a conversation with a Remnant, have a meal, or drink coffee. We are not doing the things we truly ought to do well.

▣ Main Body

1. Matthew 27:25
These are terrifying words. “If we have done wrong, let this blood be on us and on our children.” While this contains the meaning of how much they believed they were right, it also presupposes that the problem goes to the posterity. Right? It is a statement that presupposes that blessings go to the posterity and disasters go to the posterity. It goes. Therefore, for 2,000 years—it’s terrifying, isn’t it?—accurately speaking, from 70 AD to 1948, the Jews wandered without a nation. It is a terrifying thing.

2. Luke 23:28
In Luke 23:28, these are the words Jesus spoke as He was going up Golgotha carrying the cross. Look at the situation. Christ, who performed such immense power, is going up to be executed while carrying a cross. Try to visualize that scene. As a simple example, if Pastor Sang-bae Lee were going up carrying a cross to be executed, the congregants would be watching. How would it be? So, most people fled. Almost all the people who were healed of diseases fled. Why? Because they only saw that. If they knew that the suffering Christ was undergoing was prophesied, they wouldn’t need to be shaken at all, but almost everyone is shaken. So, a few female believers didn’t flee and followed Him, weeping. Why did they weep? We cannot know. My feeling is—how should I put it—wasn’t it a human expression? “How can this be?” they cried. Even that isn’t the “right” kind of weeping, is it? It became such a situation. At that time, Jesus turned, looked at the women, and said: “Do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children.” It’s a very terrifying talk. What must we teach the posterity? It is too important. Once a serious spiritual problem comes to your posterity, there is no one to help. It will come one day. There is no one to help. You must imprint it upon the Remnants now. You must teach them that the difficulties they will face in the future are not [true] difficulties. Right? The answers that come from the field in the future are not actually answers. What is the answer? Only the fulfillment of God’s Word is the answer. Therefore, do not be shaken; you might suffer hardships…

3. John 21:15-18
Therefore, Jesus resurrected and without saying anything else, said, “Feed my lambs.” Without rebuking anything, He only asked one thing: “Do you love me?” In the end, Peter answered: “You know that I love you.” That’s right—He said the same thing: “Feed my lambs.” See how important it was.

4. Acts 17:1-9, 18:1-4, 19:8-20
Therefore, Paul, who knew this, entered the synagogues. This was Paul’s goal. Healing was just a beginning; the real goal was the synagogue. He went there and taught important things. He taught what Christ, worship, and prayer answers are. We also need Remnants to have a lot of knowledge, but we must teach them what Christ—the most important of knowledge—and true worship and prayer are. If they worship like the Jews kept the Sabbath, works will occur. The problem was that the Jews changed the Sabbath into too much legalism, but the heart of it is not like that. It means to do nothing and only look to the Lord. That’s not a bad thing.

5. Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24
It is Rome. Posterity from all over the world is gathered here. The reason we keep setting the goal as RU in America is that the posterity of the whole world is gathered in America. It’s not an exact number, but it is said there are up to about 5,000 universities. So the whole world gathers there, doesn’t it? Especially in Boston alone, 500 universities are concentrated. Harvard University is also there, right? Talented individuals like this gather. What must we teach that posterity? You must teach them what Christ—the most important word in your life—is, what worship—the most important thing in your life—is, and what prayer—by which you can change the field—is. Paul taught them that.

▣ Conclusion: New Establishment
What is the conclusion? Our Remnants who have gone out—if they have already gone out, they must quickly have a new establishment.
Therefore, Friday-Saturday-Sunday is the most important chance. These Remnants are smart; have a serious forum with the children. While testimonies are important, you must have a Word forum more than that. Because what they hear during their time as a Remnant lasts forever, what a great time schedule it is. During such times, they receive scars. Because you don’t do it for them, they don’t know how to pray. They receive scars. Also, there are many strange things in the things adults do. Some children face difficulties as soon as they go out, they get scammed—do you know what people who defected from North Korea eventually say? It’s probably what people who were scarred said. They said South Korea and North Korea are the same. They said it like that! Because there are so many scammers, they get scammed and think, “South Korea and North Korea are the same.” Our Remnants are going out into this kind of environment, so it’s a bit urgent. You must help them so they are not deceived. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let our Three Courts, the Friday-Saturday-Sunday era, and the era of meditation become the greatest blessing to our church officers. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Meeting God: The Permanent Change of Destiny

John 5:24. Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.


By the grace of God, the mystery of the gospel that had been hidden for long ages past has now been revealed to us (Romans 16:25-27). The power of this gospel is absolute, its worth is infinite, and its capacity to restore the human soul is truly unfathomable.

Tragically, many believers have never truly tasted how good this gospel really is. Because their thoughts are dominated by physical needs and worldly anxieties, they miss the spiritual blessings in the heavenly realms that God has already granted them in Christ (Ephesians 1:3). As a result, people often choose their own ways that eventually lead to despair and destruction (Proverbs 14:12), making life decisions based on the standards of the world rather than the eternal covenant.

All the Israelites at the Passover received the gospel—salvation through the blood of the Lamb. However, the way each person held onto that covenant and the degree to which they experienced its blessings were vastly different among the crowd in the wilderness. While most of the Israelites took God’s covenant lightly and were consumed by their present circumstances, individuals like Moses, Joshua, and Caleb approached challenges in entirely different ways. Moses, for instance, authored the first five books of the Old Testament and uncovered the mystery of the Ark of the Covenant, the Tabernacle, and the three Festivals. Each of these sacred elements was a shadow pointing directly toward the coming Christ.

Tragically, those who could not stop complaining, grumbling, and blaming were all buried in the wilderness. Because they lost sight of the covenant, they were unable to enter the Promised Land, with the sole exceptions being Joshua and Caleb.

As you experience the gospel more deeply each day, your knowledge of God will move from the head to the heart. There is no greater blessing in this life than truly knowing God. Even when you are alone, you can be still and enjoy rest in Him. You do not have to use many words when approaching Him, for His presence alone will change everything about your life. In all circumstances, you will find true spiritual satisfaction and contentment as you rely on the one who has already won the battle.

Life’s issues and long-standing spiritual problems cannot be overcome. This is the evidence given to those who know God intimately, not just those who know about Him.

We see this reality clearly in the lives of the remnants. Slavery could not destroy Joseph because the Lord was with him, allowing him to prosper even in the house of an Egyptian master (Genesis 39:1-4). Similarly, prison could not keep the Apostle Paul from always rejoicing and giving thanks to God. He learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether he faced hunger or plenty, because of the strength Christ provided (Philippians 4:10-13). Nothing was an insurmountable problem for these individuals because they had discovered something absolute and eternal. They possessed a faith and a focus that the world could neither understand nor withstand (Hebrews 11:38).

These were ordinary human beings, just as we are, but they knew and experienced the only path to the throne of God. The only way for us to meet God and enjoy every spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms is through Lord Jesus (John 14:6).

Meeting God has changed our destiny forever. Peter was once destined for a life of despair, but his encounter with Jesus changed his entire future. Paul was once destined for a life of religious bondage, but his encounter on the road to Damascus rewrote his soul. None of our human efforts—religion, philosophy, or upright living—can change a destiny that is bound to the background of hell. Only God could bring this change by sending His Son to destroy the power of the one who held our destiny in his grip. When we realize the permanent change God has brought to our destiny, we understand what Peter declared in the face of his accusers: Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).

Once this truth takes root, we stop seeing our problems as problems. This change is permanent because it was made by law. Through Christ, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2). This legal reversal has nothing to do with what we have done or how we feel about ourselves. God’s law brought a fundamental change to those of us who used to follow the ways of this world and the ruler of the kingdom of the air (Ephesians 2:2). To seal this change, God sent His Spirit in the name of Jesus to be with us forever (John 14:26). The Spirit of God now lives within us and will never leave us. We have a divine anointing from the Holy One, and we know the truth (1 John 2:20).

Therefore, do not let anything or anybody deceive you regarding your status. As for you, the anointing you received from Him remains in you. As His anointing teaches you about all things and is real and not counterfeit, you must remain in Him (1 John 2:27).

Just attending church will not change a person’s fundamental destiny. Without the gospel, generational curses in a family line will persist, and long-standing spiritual problems will continue to plague the mind and the heart regardless of religious activity. Only when one trusts and believes in the Son of God, who appeared specifically to destroy the devil’s work, will their destiny change forever (1 John 3:8).

This permanent change of destiny comes with the gift of a brand-new identity. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known (1 John 3:2). You are not a nobody; you are precious and honored in the sight of God, and He has given nations in exchange for your life (Isaiah 43:4).

This permanent change of destiny brings joy that cannot be suppressed. When Philip proclaimed the Christ in Samaria, spirits were cast out, and many were healed (Acts 8:5-8). There was great joy in that city as their destiny was rewritten. This was more than just physical healing; it was the joy of meeting God through Christ. A city that was once destined for destruction saw a new destiny that God had prepared. For us, meeting God truly means the end of all fundamental problems. Let us not be fooled by the temporary things happening in our lives, but remember that we have crossed from death to life.

We belong to heaven and live in the kingdom of God here on earth with the task of saving lives. Until our Father calls us home, let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on the one who finished the work (Hebrews 12:1). We are no longer victims of fate, but witnesses of the King.


Prayer. Father, You changed my destiny when Jesus died on the cross and rose again from the dead. I thank You that I am no longer under the law of sin. Use my life to change the destiny of others who are still living under the power of the devil. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
