The Danger of Sexual Immorality

Ephesians 5:3. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.

The prevalence of sexual immorality in today’s culture is undeniable. Every form of media we consume promotes sexually immoral behaviors, not only indulging in them but actively encouraging others to do the same (Romans 1:32). The porn industry, for example, is now larger than Hollywood and continues to be one of the fastest-growing sectors in the world, grossing billions annually.

With the introduction of technologies like virtual reality and the rapid integration of artificial intelligence (AI), this reach is expected to grow even further. AI is now being used to create hyper-realistic, deepfake content and personalized experiences that are designed to be more addictive and deceptive than ever before, further blurring the lines between reality and fabrication.

As a powerful instrument of the devil, these industries are leading the world toward destruction, relentlessly attacking families and specifically targeting the younger generation. By exploiting the addictive nature of digital algorithms and the anonymity of the internet, they are establishing strongholds in the minds of the vulnerable before they even have the chance to develop spiritual discernment.

In the beginning, God uniquely created male and female in His own image (Genesis 1:27). He joined them together in a unique way, stating that a man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, becoming one flesh (Genesis 2:24). God intended for a spiritual, emotional, and physical union between husband and wife—a union Jesus declared unbreakable, saying, “Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate” (Matthew 19:6).

Tragically, after the Fall, people created in the image of a holy God have instead been driven by an earthly nature characterized by sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires (Colossians 3:5). Minds have become corrupt, and the “lustful desires of the flesh” dominate human thought (2 Peter 2:18). We have become “lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God” (2 Timothy 3:4).

In the divine design, sex is inextricably linked to the first mandate given to humanity in the blessing of the covenant (Genesis 1:28). God blessed the first man and woman to be fruitful and increase in number, to fill the earth and subdue it. This was not merely a biological instruction but a holy calling of world evangelization.

By placing this command immediately after the declaration that male and female are created in His image (Genesis 1:27), God established sex as the holy mechanism by which His image is multiplied across the earth. In this context, the sexual union is the foundational act of filling the earth with representatives of God’s glory. It was designed to be a sacred act that mirrors the creative nature of the Father, ensuring that the covenantal relationship between God and man would be passed down through every generation.

Yet, when this gift is severed from the covenant, its sacred purpose is distorted into a path of destruction. Scripture is blunt about the consequences of this path. It commands that marriage should be honored by all and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the sexually immoral (Hebrews 13:4). We are told to “flee from sexual immorality” because while other sins are committed outside the body, sexual sin is committed against one’s own body (1 Corinthians 6:18). It is a path of self-destruction; as Proverbs warns, a man who commits adultery “has no sense” and “destroys himself” (Proverbs 6:32).

However, this destructive influence does not remain outside the people of God. Even God’s people are often tempted to copy these customs. In Revelation 2:20, the Lord rebukes the church for tolerating a “Jezebel” spirit that misleads His servants into sexual immorality. Consequently, many children grow up without knowing God’s unique plan for the family, as the world instills crooked and perverted views on the gift of sex.

Why is the sexual sin so deadly? Because it originates from the one who holds the power of death—the devil (Hebrews 2:14). By promoting this culture, he aims to destroy the two institutions God established: the family and the church. However, as children of God, our Father’s will is our sanctification. We are called to control our bodies in a holy and honorable way, not in passionate lust like those who do not know God (1 Thessalonians 4:3-6).

If you are struggling with sexual sin, remember that God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save it (John 3:17). To the woman caught in adultery, Jesus declared, “Neither do I condemn you; go, and from now on sin no more” (John 8:11). Your Father does not condemn you because of what Christ accomplished on the cross. He has compassion on those who fear Him (Psalm 103:13). Jesus, our True Priest, empathizes with our weaknesses because He was tempted in every way, yet remained without sin (Hebrews 4:15).

There is no sin God cannot forgive. Stop condemning yourself and cling to the cross where Jesus declared, “It is finished” (John 19:30). Rely on the power of the One who destroyed the power of Satan. The resurrection power of Christ can heal and restore your mind, breaking any generational curse of sexual sin. Do not try to fight this in your own strength, for you will lose; victory comes only as your inner self is strengthened by the Holy Spirit. Fill your mind with the Word of God, which is the most effective weapon against the devil’s schemes (Psalm 119:11).

Always remember your identity as God’s chosen. Use your spiritual authority over your old habits, believing that “the God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20). God is now sending us into the world not to judge those practicing sexual immorality, but to save them through the gospel. Let us have compassion, remembering that we are only what we are by the grace of God (1 Corinthians 15:10). Our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12).

Prayer. Father, by the power of the gospel, set me free from the power of sexual sins. Use my life to proclaim the liberty that comes from knowing Your Son, Jesus, to all who are struggling under the power of the devil. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Scripture Reading
Daniel 10:10-14

A hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees. 11 He said, “Daniel, you who are highly esteemed, consider carefully the words I am about to speak to you, and stand up, for I have now been sent to you.” And when he said this to me, I stood up trembling.

12 Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. 13 But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. 14 Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.”

There Is No Failure for God

Prayer Journal: March 11, 2026
01. Jun. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Ruth 1:15-18

Introduction_ Satan’s Deception
Today is an important day for you to receive a great answer through the Word.

1. The reality of the Nephilim having the greatest influence

1) Nations and people under the influence of the Nephilim
The 3 Organizations give the most influence to America. Shinto shrine worship has a big influence on Japan. What would be the biggest influence in Korea? There is something so influential it is almost moving the Korean people. A certain woman faced a very great difficulty. How do they do in Korea? They visit a fortune-teller. Because [the shaman] guesses this and that correctly, she is startled. Then, [the shaman] tells her to do an exorcism (gut). So she did the exorcism. Then, another difficulty comes. After doing it a few times, [the shaman] tells her to receive the spirits [become a shaman]. After agonizing and agonizing, because she has no choice and no way, she received them. Then, because of that, she met such in-laws. So, she herself got married, but her children also got married. However, spiritual problems come to that family one after another. Actually, someone loses their mind, someone gets epilepsy, one person commits suicide, two people leave home—actually. This is a big influence in Korea. Only the pastors are unaware; the laypeople all know.
Then what about the elites? Are the elites okay? No. A famous tycoon in Gyeongnam, Busan, did exorcisms and business as the fortune-teller told him. It looked like the business was all flourishing. In the end, he completely failed.
2) John 8:44 The father of lies, Satan’s purpose – Killing
It is recorded like this in the Bible. Jesus said: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning.” He is trying to kill. “Because there is no truth in him, he speaks with lies; he is a liar and the father of lies.” Jesus said it directly in John 8:44. At that time, whom was He speaking to? To the Jews who were leading a good religious life: “Your father, the devil.” Therefore, the Jews did not realize and nailed Jesus to the cross. That too was for fulfilling God’s plan, but anyway, those people fell into a curse. You must remember. The purpose is killing. He said, “the father of lies.” “But they guess everything correctly?” That’s right. All of that is commanded by Satan, who tells lies from above. “No, the grandmother spirit comes?” That’s right. That is a lie. “No, I will be reincarnated and become something in the future?” That’s right. That is a lie. What is the purpose? It is killing. Therefore, in the end, it is killing your posterity. You must not be deceived.
I mean, these days, our country is influenced to the extent that broadcasting stations go to get their fortunes told and call shamans. Right? I truly want to tell them, but public broadcasters call shamans to tell fortunes. Because they are possessed by demons, they guess correctly. But that is a lie. It is correct, but the purpose is killing. He was a murderer from the beginning.
3) 1 Corinthians 10:20 Idolatry is done to demons
If idolatry were helpful, God would tell us to do idolatry. Right? If serving demons were okay, He would tell us to serve demons. “Sacrifices are offered to demons.” 1 Corinthians 10:20. It is not the parents who come, but demons. They deceive again. “The dead parents are coming.” It is a lie. It is a demon masquerading as the parents. Truly foolish. Foolish. “But still, the deceased ancestor, the mother, is coming.” They come. It is a masquerading demon.
So these days, famous fortune-tellers appear on broadcasts and YouTube. Right? “Will Yoon Suk-yeol be impeached or not?” I don’t believe such fortune-teller things, but I saw what came out about Yoon Suk-yeol. 7 out of 10 people said he won’t be impeached. I absolutely do not believe a fortune-teller’s words, but because they said he won’t be impeached, I felt slightly happy. [But then] he was impeached. However, whether it happened or not is not the problem. Those things are all the play of demons.

2. Satan’s 12 Deceptions
Satan deceives with 12 methods.

1) The start of the problem – Continuing even now.
(1) You become like God (Genesis 3).
“You must receive the spirits.” This is the first deception. Now, it is the first word Satan spoke to Eve. “You become like God.” Right? “You become a Buddha.” “You become God.” “You receive the spirits.” This is Satan’s first strategy. Therefore, because my body is also sick and not good, [people] conflict over whether it will be okay if they receive them, but because it makes money for those people, they keep telling them to do it.
(2) Nephilim – Strength arises first, but eventually you perish (Genesis 6).
What is the second strategy? First, strength arises. That is called the Nephilim of Genesis 6. Do you understand? You must absolutely not be deceived. The answer is in the Bible. Therefore, you do not only ruin yourself, but you ruin all the way to the posterity. You ruin even the nation. You turn Japan and America into neighborhoods of mental patients. You turn Korea into a strange country. It is truly regrettable. Pastors, pastors throughout the nation and world, please look at the Bible and preach. Because the pastors are not doing it.
(3) Tower of Babel – You can succeed. Eventually it collapses (Genesis 11).
What is the third strategy? You can succeed. “If you do this and that, you earn money.” “If you do this and that, you become a politician.” That is called the Tower of Babel. That Tower of Babel collapsed. These three are the start of the problem. Right? It is continuing even now. Even now.

2) Struggling because of frustration
(1) Visiting shamans (Acts 13).
So because of frustration, they visit shamans. That is Acts 13.
(2) Visiting demon-possessed fortune-tellers (Acts 16).
Because it is still not resolved, they visit demon-possessed fortune-tellers. That is Acts 16. Right?
(3) Making and serving shrines (Acts 19).
Still, it doesn’t work. Ha… They make a shrine and bow and serve. That is Acts 19.

3) 6 States of the Unbeliever
Still, it doesn’t work.
(1) Master – Satan
Something—now I have a separate master.
(2) Idolatry
Therefore, they tell fortunes and do exorcisms. If my master were God, it would be simple, but it is something else. I am not my own master.
(3) Mental Problems
Now spiritual problems come. From now on, they come slowly. Depression comes, panic comes, mental illness comes—they keep coming.
(4) Physical Problems
Next, what is it? Disease comes to the body. You are sick. What else can happen?
(5) Posterity Problems
While it’s like that, it would be fine if you just died, but this problem goes to the children? That is why God tells us not to do it. He tells us absolutely not to do it. They do more of what God says not to do. Stubbornly, they pass all these problems to the children.
(6) Eternal Background – Hell (Matthew 25:41)
Looking back, it wasn’t even that. There is another separate eternal background. Going to hell is not the important thing. Before going, they were in hell and then they go to hell. That is the background. As for why hell exists, looking at Matthew 25, it is the place to finally lock up Satan. He must be locked up.

3. Background of the Text – Naomi and Ruth who made a resolution before the problem of darkness that does not end
Now, you all must look well and reach the answer today.

1) Moab – A nation that attacks Israel and serves the idol Chemosh
Because a famine broke out, a man named Elimelech took his wife and went to the land of Moab. That land of Moab is a land of idols. The land of Moab is a nation that once attacked Israel when they were returning to their hometown and serves a big, scary idol called Chemosh. It is a nation that once fought and won against Israel, so they set up a big monument [saying] they won. He went there.
2) Naomi and two daughters-in-law who became widows in the land of Moab
He went, he went with his wife, and the wife’s name is Naomi. They went and gave birth to sons, they gave birth to two. Mahlon and Chilion—they gave birth to two like this. The two got married, and as for the daughters-in-law’s names: one is Orpah and one is Ruth. It is a background you know.
However, this problem of darkness does not end. Elimelech died. Up to that point it’s okay, but both sons, Mahlon and Chilion, ended up dying. I mean, dying is not the problem; a person goes once, but the word is not that word, is it. I mean, a person should die at the right time, but both ended up dying. Now three became widows and three remained. Think about it. Anyone can become a widow, but right now the situation is not that.
3) Resolution of Naomi and Ruth
At this time, Naomi makes a decision. “I must now return to my hometown. Since you are young, go to each of your gods and your nations and get married and live.” When she said this, the daughter-in-law named Orpah said she would do so. The one who said she would not do so is Ruth. “But I will go to the place where mother goes. Mother’s nation is my nation.” These are important confessions. “The God mother believes in is my God. I will go to mother’s nation”—it is an extremely important resolution.

▣ Main Body_ Resolution – Mother’s God is my God

You must make a resolution. The most important phrase is: “The God mother believes in is my God.” This is it.

1. The God of the Covenant who changes all my past – The turning point (what to leave) that changes the past, present, and future
First. It is the resolution regarding the God of the covenant. It is the turning point that changes the past, present, and future. It is important. It must be changed. It is changing the past, present, and future.

1) You must completely leave the past.
To do so, what must be done? You must leave the past. [Ruth said] she would follow mother. “I dislike this nation and I will follow mother. Mother’s nation is my nation.” There is something we must learn here. Right?
2) Even if demons keep visiting, there is nothing to fear. Make the resolution of a child of God.
The past—you must completely leave it. “No, demons keep visiting me.” There is nothing to fear. “No, after returning, they keep harassing me.” It has no relation. Therefore, this resolution is extremely important.
It’s not that someone evangelized to our house, where they worshipped idols for generations. My mother made the resolution. It’s not that someone evangelized. “Ah, a church was established here.” That is Il-sin Church established by [missionaries from] Australia. “Therefore, I must go to church. This way we have lived until now is not it. I want to believe in God. I want to become a child of God.” She made this resolution. That one thing overturned and changed everything. I hope you make a resolution.
You people who were in that darkness, you were in such difficulty. You must completely come out. You must change to the point where other people see and say, “Wow, that person changed.” It’s not the word to buy and wear expensive clothes or good clothes. Please change your clothes too. Don’t go around wearing them strangely like this. Change them. To the extent that a dog looks and wonders if it’s a different person and barks. Change it. Because [the dog] used to see always crumpled, strange faces, but now it has blossomed brightly, the dog barks thinking it’s a different person—that’s what it is.
3) The God of the covenant who changes all my past, that God is my God.
The God of the covenant. The God of the covenant who changes all my past. That God is my God. It’s finished.

2. The God of creation who will make me new – The turning point (what to enjoy) that changes through God’s power
Second, what is it? The God of creation. Why? Because He will make me new. It is not my power, but the turning point that changes through God’s power.

1) Three Feasts
The God who already actually gave us the Three Feasts.
2) The content of the covenant inside the Ark of the Covenant
The Ark of the Covenant is not what is important. The content of the covenant inside that—inside the Ark of the Covenant.
3) Centered on the Tabernacle
And the Israel that has lived centered on the Tabernacle until now. “I will believe in that, in that God.”
※ Believe that you have received what you asked for in faith – Firmly grasp God’s Word right now
Therefore, this is what must be enjoyed now. You must leave the past, but the most important thing is you must not look elsewhere but enjoy now.
Believe that you have received what you asked for in faith. Right? I didn’t know what these words meant. To Joseph, who truly grasped the covenant, God worked, didn’t He? Moses grasped the covenant when he was old and works occurred. Right now. Firmly grasping God’s Word during today’s worship is the only way to win. From where, who? No need. Please firmly grasp God’s Word.
This Ruth did not only leave the past. She firmly grasped God’s Word.

3. The eternal God – The turning point (fruit) that delivers world evangelization to the posterity
Third. The eternal God. The turning point that delivers world evangelization to the posterity. Now, do you know how amazing a thing happened?

1) Rahab the prostitute who grasped the covenant and entered Canaan, and Boaz, the son of Salmon
Before that, Rahab the prostitute grasped the covenant, she only grasped the covenant. She grasped that and entered the land of Israel and married a man named Salmon, Rahab did. They gave birth to a son, and that son’s name is Boaz.
2) Ruth, who grasped the covenant, and Boaz’s son Obed – His grandson Jesse – Jesse’s son David
What kind of person is Boaz? He is a person powerful enough to move a large fortune there. He is a person powerful enough to restore those lands of the deceased Elimelech and Naomi. This Ruth followed mother, followed Naomi and entered, and she met Boaz. The entire book of Ruth is the story of the meeting of Boaz and Ruth. Therefore, these two ended up getting married. Naomi tells her to do it.
They had this marriage, and the person who grasped the covenant got married and gave birth to a son, and the son’s name is Obed.
This Obed—won’t he have the next posterity. That posterity’s name is Jesse.
Then, whom did Jesse beget? He begot David. This is an immense covenant regarding the future. David was the king of kings. Right?
3) Jesus, the descendant of David
“Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.” Take a look at that flow.
※ Escape from the deception where you have no choice but to perish. Grasp the covenant right now and build the Bartizan of Jehovah. Then the future is bound to emerge.
Today, you all must grasp this answer. It is escaping from the deception where you have no choice but to perish. It is grasping the covenant right now during every worship. Grasping that and praying all day long. You cannot memorize. It won’t even be memorized. You pray all day long. Build a spiritual Bartizan. Right? Build a Bartizan of Jehovah. That is prayer. On Sunday.
Then the future is destined to emerge. This kind of unimaginable thing happened. To put it simply, this woman became the grandmother of David. Amazing fruit began to emerge in Israel. It is history that actually happened.
※ You must deliver only the Gospel and liberate [people] from the shaman culture. As long as there are people and churches to deliver the true Gospel, our country cannot collapse.
Even if not shamans, our country is almost a shaman faith. The culture is a shaman culture. You must come out. You must liberate [people]. And deliver the light, deliver God’s Word. Only the Gospel. Therefore, we must save our posterity.
Also looking [at the news], will it be Lee Jae-myung or Kim Moon-soo—the fortune-tellers are in an uproar; looking at it now, it has no relation. Our country, in fact, is not saved by the President. God saves it. Because our country must do world evangelization and go together with multi-ethnic people, God guards and protects it—that is the word. Sodom and Gomorrah did not perish because of sin. It said they perish because there were not 10 righteous people. As long as there are people and churches to deliver the true Gospel, it cannot collapse.

▣ Conclusion

I will conclude. Then, the conclusion is important for receiving answers.

1. Do not be deceived – Today’s success and failure
Do not be deceived. What do I mean? “Ah, I think I am perishing now.” No. “Ah, I think I have succeeded now.” No. It is being deceived. “We fought and won.” No. “We fought and lost.” No.
Look at history. Did Egypt win? No. I mean, did King Saul succeed by becoming king? No. Surely. Please look well.

1) God, who changed the going to the land of Moab into missions
They went to the land of Moab. God changed that into missions. Right?
2) God, who brought Ruth as a missionary and restored the covenant and even let a figure like David emerge
They were dying and accidents happened. Anyway, a person goes once. God brought Ruth, a Gentile woman, as a missionary. Through that woman, the covenant was restored and a figure like David also emerged. You must grasp it.
3) God, who called the useless “me” and uses me as an evangelist
To you who were useless, to the useless “me,” God sometimes calls and uses us as evangelists—that is the word. There are too many such things.

2. The real answer – The evangelism movement that stops disasters and darkness
Then what is the real answer? The evangelism movement that stops disasters and darkness is the real answer. Right?

1) That which can be done even without God cannot stop disasters and darkness.
You earned a lot of money. It can be an answer. You went to a good school. It can be an answer. However, that can be done even without God. Something more important: that cannot stop disasters. Right? It cannot stop darkness. It’s an uproar now. It’s enough if evidence has come this much.
In Europe, mental patients are swarming, doing drugs, doing them on the street, doing them in the room—they are doing it now. How much more must they perish to realize the Gospel? Even though we say it won’t do without only the Gospel, the church doesn’t do it. It does something else.
Now, ask a person living in America. People who come out and sleep on the street have increased immensely now. One thing that changed is that before, a person sleeping on the street was a bit obvious—they looked like a beggar. These days it’s not like that. They don’t look like a beggar but they come out and sleep.
In Japan too, now mental patients have changed slightly. It’s a bit different from before. They are all tidy and looking at Time magazine. There are more of them.
2) The blessing many people speak of is not the true blessing.
We must reach a conclusion. Many people deceive us. “No, living long is a blessing.” Is it? A person who received the blessing should live long. Right? One who hasn’t even received the blessing shouldn’t live long. “Oh my, health is a blessing.” It is. But also a person who received the blessing should be healthy; if one who hasn’t even received the blessing is healthy, that becomes a problem. Many people say so.

3. Past (finish it), Today (grasp the certain covenant), Future (for the posterity)
Today we firmly grasp the certain covenant and finish the past like this Ruth. Today, we grasp the certain covenant. Future—what is it? For the posterity. Grasping the covenant. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes an important day. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. May today become an important day. May it be a day for obtaining new strength. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Idolatry Leads to Destruction

Genesis 3:1-5. Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

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

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

Since the dawn of history, Satan has utilized two primary instruments to corrupt the world: idolatry and sexual immorality. Historical records confirm that nations defined by extreme idolatry—such as Egypt, Babylon, and Rome—were ultimately dismantled by disasters and calamities.

Even today, the enemy continues to steal, kill, and destroy lives through these deadly weapons (Jn 10:10). We have become so desensitized by modern culture that these destructive behaviors often go unnoticed, yet Scripture remains clear about the danger idolatry poses to individuals, nations, and the world at large. It warns of a specific condition in the last days: people will become lovers of themselves, lovers of money, and lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, maintaining a form of godliness while denying its power (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

An idol is anything that you place between yourself and God. When God created humanity as spiritual beings, He blessed us (Genesis 1:27-28) and established a covenant to sustain our relationship with Him (Genesis 2:17). Satan set out to shatter this bond. To deceive Adam and Eve, he used a serpent to plant seeds of doubt and unbelief, asking, “Did God really say…?” The devil then twisted God’s nature; realizing Eve’s understanding of the covenant was imprecise, he refuted God’s word and told the greatest lie in history: “You will be like God.”

The modern New Age Movement continues to preach this same message of self-deification, proving it is not new at all. The devil’s aim was to take over the entire human race by baiting them with false promises of self-reliance, effectively making himself the “father” of those born into the fall (John 8:44) and keeping them under his power (Acts 10:38).

Scripture identifies this ancient serpent as Satan, who leads the whole world astray (Revelation 12:9). He was once a chosen Cherub who spread his wings over God’s throne, walking among sparkling jewels on the holy mountain (Ezekiel 28:14). However, as Isaiah 14:12-14 describes, Lucifer fell from the sky because of his pride. He told himself he would ascend to the heavens, raise his throne above the stars, and make himself like the Most High. This rebellion failed. Following a war against Michael and his angels, Satan was cast down to the deep pit of Sheol (Isaiah 14:15, Revelation 12:9). Filled with rage because his time is short, he now seeks to inflict maximum suffering and death through idolatry.

Many do not realize that idolatry invites evil spirits to work behind the scenes (2 Corinthians 10:20), affecting generations to come (Exodus 20:4-5). Satan even uses the church to promote his agenda through legalism, rigid religion, and church politics. He entices believers with the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16), distracting them from the power of the gospel.

To find truth, we must escape religious environments that value pious achievements over spiritual rebirth. For Nicodemus, his own religious status was the greatest obstacle to understanding the kingdom of God (John 3:1-12). We must distinguish between God’s Word and legalism. The law was given not as a means to reach God, but as a mirror to reveal our own impossibility, stripping away our self-reliance so that we might finally turn to the grace of the gospel (Galatians 3:24). Thus, legalism—the act of trying to earn God’s favor through religious performance—is an idol detestable to Him (Isaiah 1:13-14).

Placing compassionate attitudes or religious zeal before the gospel creates a deadly spiritual environment. We must rid our lives of physical idols (Exodus 20:4-5) and deceptive philosophies that depend on human tradition rather than on Christ (Colossians 2:8). Church authority and pious practices must never stand above the authority of Scripture or the power of the gospel (2 Timothy 3:5)

The end of persistent idolatry is eternal destruction, characterized by a lack of rest and the wine of God’s fury (Revelation 14:9-11). To save us from this, God sacrificed His Son, Jesus, to set us free. The blood of Christ purifies our consciences so we may worship the living God (Hebrews 9:14).

God is drawing us to Himself with an unfailing, everlasting love (Jeremiah 31:3); therefore, we should not let the temporary things of this world come between our Father and us. To defeat idols, we must hope only in the Lord (Isaiah 40:31) and resolve, like Paul, to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified (1 Corinthians 2:2).

When Christ is your True King, the power of idols collapses. Consider everything else a loss compared to the surpassing worth of knowing Christ (Philippians 3:8-9). Only through the gospel can we overcome idolatry and save the world.

Prayer. Father, I worship You and You alone. Open my eyes to see the idols in my life and fill me with Your power to demolish them. Use my life to break down the altars of idols in my mission field and save people from idolatry. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

▣ Introduction

Thank you. Near our 237 Center, there is a large road called Airport Boulevard. It is quite wide and lined with buildings. A few years ago, there was an owner who owned an entire long stretch of these buildings. While he was sitting in his office, someone came in and beat him to death with a hammer. When the killer was caught, it turned out to be a city council member from the Gangseo-gu District Office. Did you see the news? I am telling you this because, while that man was wealthy and successful, the motive was about money—borrowing, not repaying, and demands for payment. You must know why you are gathered here. That person didn’t just kill and murder out of nowhere.

The Bartizan of Darkness (Matthew 12:26-30, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5): When we harbor unbelief and constantly try to harm others, the Bartizan of Darkness is established. People just don’t know it. This is how Satan builds a house. Darkness sets up a bartizan—a fortress.
The Bartizan of the Throne (Acts 1:3): During the time you are praying like this right now, the Bartizan of the Throne is created. Right now. It looked like Moses was suffering in Midian, but he prayed for 40 years. That is when this was created. Also, David was running away and facing hardships, but he wasn’t just running; he was praying, and this was being made. Meanwhile, King Saul, who was chasing David to kill him, was building a Bartizan of Darkness. People are unaware of this.

This is why people don’t realize why they are sitting here. It is being created right now. As you sit here holding onto the covenant for world evangelization, the Bartizan of the Throne is continuously being made. If a successful person reaches the point of murder, a massive bartizan has been formed. Looking down from a building with dozens of floors makes you dizzy, yet some people jump. They don’t just jump; a massive Bartizan of Darkness has been created. Keep this in mind. This is why we pray, understand the Gospel correctly, and worship.

There is something Remnants must surely do from now on:

1. The Start – Summit Time
Every day at the start, you must surely have this time: Summit Time. Specifically, those over 50 years old must do this. Once you pass 50, your brain, lungs, and everything else begin to break down. Without a doubt, they start to fail. You must have this time. And for our Remnants, if you have this especially when young, you can evangelize the world.

2. The Goal – 300%
Where should your goal be? For Remnants, it is 300%. Then you will succeed regardless of your studies or academic background. Joseph did cleaning but he did it this way. He succeeded. Actually, a man named Sheev in America started as a janitor but became the chairman of a steel company. You must remember this.

3. The Way – 5 Flows
You should always find the way well. This consists of the 5 Flows. The Word is being fulfilled, so where am I right now? Confirming this is the “Flow.” It is the “Way.” Since it is a way, there is no need to follow others. It is about where I have arrived. Also, if prayer isn’t working, that “not working” state is also a way, so you must find it. And while the work of evangelization and salvation is being achieved, you must confirm roughly where you are. Next, regardless of whether you live abroad or in Korea, there is a “field.” You must see that spiritual flow. Furthermore, we are praying for a nation for world evangelization; you must see the flow of that nation too. Especially, Remnants must see this. Then you must prepare at least one language from now on. English is basic, and you should study a language that allows you to help the 5,000 tribes or multi-ethnic people you call in. If you are under 25, if you just memorize, it all goes in.

4. Status – 7·7·7 Watchman
Remnants, you must know and enjoy your certain status. You are a Watchman here (7·7·7) who enjoys the Throne, the Journey, and the Guidepost. You can enjoy all of this through prayer.

5. Authority – 3 Courts, Friday-Saturday-Sunday, Meditation
More importantly, you have the authority to overcome darkness. This is called the Three Courts, the Friday-Saturday-Sunday Age to overcome darkness, and the Age of Meditation. Even thinking about this once helps a Remnant. That is the characteristic. It’s not like that for adults. Often, something thought about in childhood results in an answer later. Conversely, something that accidentally went wrong in childhood often causes difficulty later.

1. Start – Summit Time (Platform): When our Remnant has this time, it becomes a Platform that saves many people. You must have a platform for people to come.
2. Goal – 300% (Watchtower): Next, if you prepare 300%, it is for real. School and region do not matter. The person who prepares this wins. You become a Watchtower that shines the light.
3. Way – 5 Flows (Antenna): If you know this flow, it becomes an Antenna that communicates with the Throne.

Now, while you are doing this prayer, not just any answer, but a very important answer comes to you:

3. Way – 5 Flows (Antenna) – Transcending Time and Space: If you know this way, the answer of Transcending Time and Space comes.
4. Status – 7·7·7 Watchman (Unprecedented): As you remain as a watchman, finally, the Unprecedented Answer that only you can receive comes. Competition is unnecessary.
5. Authority – 3 Courts, Fri-Sat-Sun, Meditation (Memorial): Finally, a Memorial blessing begins to occur.

This is a very important blessing that adults must enjoy and deliver to Remnants. I will explain more specifically next time.

▣ Main Body

– June –
How should you study, do business, and evangelize? Something important emerges. Regarding the answers we will receive in June: How should I study, do business, and evangelize? If you do it like you are now, or like you did in the past, you will eat and live according to your own skills. Isn’t that right? If you work hard, effects come out. If I do my best, many results appear. However, world evangelization cannot be done. That is the important thing.

[1] Guidance of the Holy Spirit: The thing to grasp in the first week. [Paul] went to Asia and received the complete Guidance of the Holy Spirit.
[2] Turning Point of the Holy Spirit: The thing to know in the second week is seeing a complete Turning Point of the Holy Spirit in one’s life.
[3] Fruit of the Holy Spirit: In the third week, because we must do world evangelization, it is the Fruit of the Holy Spirit.
[4] Conviction: The fourth week is Conviction.
[5] Mission: The fifth week is a very important Mission.

Let me tell you again: suppose you graduated as valedictorian from Harvard. Suppose you got a job at a top company and receive a salary of hundreds of millions. That is success. However, you cannot do world evangelization with that. You can eat a bit comfortably. You should be able to do world evangelization to your heart’s content and save the entire world, but you can’t. Yet, surprisingly, several of the pastors and elders here are doing world evangelization to their heart’s content.

[1] Guidance of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:1-12) [Start]
Especially since the future world is a difficult world, you must receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

[2] Turning Point of the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6-10) [Hardship]
While you are going, the way might be blocked or difficulties might come. That is a complete Turning Point. You must not give up until you find this turning point. Why? Because it surely exists. Suppose I’m trying to go home but lost my key. What should I do? Now we use codes, but in the past, you had to have a key. What do you do? You must find it. Why? Because it surely exists. You shouldn’t give up until you find the key. You aren’t waiting for some random thing; since my key surely exists, it dropped somewhere here. Therefore, you must find it. Our Remnants must do all starts this way. When hardship comes—simply put, when the door is blocked—you must not give up or act rashly. You find the turning point. At this time, what? To Macedonia. They went like that, and it completely overturned the world.

[3] Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-21) [Nation]
In the third week, it is Acts 19:1-21. Tremendous things happen here. They go to Tyrannus, and from here, a special term emerges: The Kingdom of God.

[4] Conviction (Acts 27:24) [Crisis]
What is conviction? Paul was going to be tried, and a hurricane arose. The crisis was not just a crisis; a crisis of death came. At that time, “Paul, do not be afraid.” If you are truly a person who will preach the Gospel, no one can stop you. Right? If you are truly a person blessed to do world evangelization, you cannot perish. You cannot die. The reason was stated: “Do not be afraid. Do you not have what you have done so far?” He didn’t say that. “Hey, don’t be afraid. You have the Gospel, don’t you?” He didn’t say that either. He stated the goal: “You must stand before Caesar.” That’s right. If work remains to preach the Gospel, you cannot perish. You must remember this.

[5] Mission (Romans 16:1-27) [Hidden Contract]
Here, it is Romans 16:1-27. What is it? There is a Hidden Contract that is different from others. Up to here is the content our Remnants must forum in advance. Specifics can be done by looking at the regional message, but you must do important forum now.

[1] Guidance of the Holy Spirit (Acts 13:1-12) [Start]
There are a few important forums here.

1. Person, Place, Task: The standard is seeing these clearly. That is what I do. If I don’t see these clearly, I don’t go. While I see them always while praying, even in the past when I couldn’t do that, I only went when it was clear. In your business, clear guidance of the Holy Spirit—the person, place, and task—will emerge. That person is the couple Priscilla and Aquila. Right? They were always on the path Paul went.
2. Culture of Darkness: Next, the second thing done was breaking darkness first. The culture of darkness changed. I hope you see well and forum.
3. Governor – Disciple: The governor completely became a disciple. It happens like this. If our Remnants or you evangelists always enjoy this (Introduction), you will see it.

[2] Turning Point of the Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6-10) [Hardship]
Finally, when a problem, difficulty, or crisis comes, the answer is immediately visible.

1. Door x: The door was closed. But more importantly, it says God blocked it. It says God, the Holy Spirit, blocked the door to Asia.
2. Macedonia: Why? He opened a bigger door: to Macedonia.
3. Lydia: They went there and met the first person, Lydia. Such an amazing work. They met Lydia, and this person became a church officer who saved the Philippi region.

[3] Fruit of the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-21) [Nation]
While doing this and praying, we just need to wait for this part.

1. Acts 13:12: The Governor.
2. Acts 16:15: Lydia.
3. Acts 19:21: Rome—you just need to wait. This is the fruit. This is the conclusion. True world evangelization remains. You will also go to Rome.

[4] Conviction (Acts 27:24) [Crisis]

1. Prisoner: Paul is now going to Rome as a prisoner. Paul appealed; he would be tried before the Emperor. What was the content? “There is absolutely no problem with the Gospel I preach.” He will be tried in Rome regarding that. At first, a judge named Festus said, “There’s no particular crime, go home.” You shouldn’t do that. Why? He should have said he was not guilty, but he just said, “I can find no particular crime.” But Paul utilized this exactly. Since the Jews were a colony of Rome, [he said] “I will be tried before the Roman Emperor.” So he is going by ship now. Then who conducts the trial? The Roman Emperor does.
2. Hurricane (Death): But a hurricane was met. A crisis of absolute death came. It is the same principle. While we are going to do important work, such a thing can happen. But most non-believers, people without faith, are afraid. It is an opportunity given by God. In this hurricane, because of Paul, everyone survives.
3. Caesar: You know the text. Well then, would the Emperor have heard this rumor or not? He hears it. This is how he came to stand before Caesar.

This is the history of Acts. Remnants must always remember this, and for you evangelists, this time schedule is exactly the same right now.

[5] Mission (Romans 16:1-27) [Hidden Contract]
Then it will emerge:

1. Protector: “I am a protector of the evangelist.” They will emerge one by one.
2. Co-worker: “I am a co-worker of the evangelist.”
3. Host: “I am a host.” It comes out like this.
4. Laborer: If you don’t even have that, it doesn’t matter. “I am one who labors for the evangelist.” Even without big money, you are a laborer.
5. Together: “I am one who is together with the evangelist and became a fellow prisoner.” These kinds of hidden contracts emerge.
6. One who is approved (Life): Also, being one who is approved is important. Our elders and many ministers—this part is very important. It can mean receiving recognition from people, but it’s not strictly that. When you give someone a task, there are people [who are approved]. And there are people who are [not]. Right? When saints look at our elders, they should go (nod nod). (If they say no, would that work?) If elders look at pastors and think (no), it’s troublesome. Even so, elders should go (nod nod). If it’s (shake shake/no), it’s actually over. “I am willing to even give my life for the servant of the Lord.” This is one who is approved. Willing to give one’s life. Why? Because these servants preach the Gospel.
7. Relative: I mean, even “relative” appears. What is a relative? A relative is unconditionally on my side. Right? No matter how much a son does wrong, the mother is okay. Enemies find faults even when there aren’t many.

You must surely grasp this covenant (Introduction) today. I will talk about it specifically during the Tuesday Meeting, and it is content I will tell the church officers and those being ordained at Immanuel Seoul Church. I spoke about this to our ministers today, and it’s because Remnants need to understand it simply.

▣ Conclusion

Then answers surely come, but how? I will conclude with the “Scattered Disciples of World Evangelization.” They must always be connected like this. If you have this blessing, you will see three things:

1. Bartizan (God’s Power): You see the Bartizan. Simply put, you see God’s power. This blessing—seeing God’s power—appears to our Remnants and all church officers.
2. Journey (Way): Second, the Journey is seen. What does that mean? The Way is seen. It comes like this. Therefore, you don’t need to worry at all.
3. Guidepost (Legacy): You leave a Guidepost. This leaves a legacy that saves posterity for a long time. Our evangelists and scattered disciples must not miss this.

1. Bartizan (God’s Power): The Throne, God’s Kingdom, the affairs of God’s Kingdom are seen like this.
2. Journey (Way): Evangelism, Missions, and Disciples are seen. Now the time to receive this blessing has come. Evangelism is seen, missions are seen, and the way—the disciple—is seen.
3. Guidepost (Legacy): Finally, you leave a masterpiece, leave a footprint, and leave a memorial. Legacy. The footsteps of you church officers and Remnants will stand as a memorial that remains forever.

Right now, this work (the Bartizan of the Throne) is happening. You must never miss it. This work is being achieved right now. Behind you, the Bartizan of the Throne is being made. Moses didn’t know that and said, “I can’t do it. I’m too old. I have no background.” Correct. What didn’t he know? He didn’t know that this (the Bartizan of the Throne) was being made. It looked like he suffered all that time, but for Elijah, this (the Bartizan of the Throne) was already made. Without knowing, he said, “I can’t do it. I can’t do any more. Please take me away.” That was Elijah’s prayer. He was mistaken. Regardless of the mistake, it is made. I bless all church officers and all Remnants in the name of Jesus Christ to enjoy this blessing. I bless the disciples throughout the nation and the world who are offering this video worship together in the name of the Lord Jesus for the same to come upon them. Let’s give a round of applause of glory to our God. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks. We thank You for establishing us as watchmen who build the Bartizan of the Throne. Let us be those who rescue those within the Bartizan of Darkness. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Compelled to Obey

Exodus 14:13-14. Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”

Obedience to God’s Word is not a religious obligation or a blind, mechanical duty. It is not something we can manufacture through willpower. Rather, true obedience is a response to a revelation; it is only possible when you confirm the presence of God in your life. What you see spiritually will always determine what you do physically.

When faced with a crisis, the difference between a victor and a victim lies in their vision. Consider the Israelites at the edge of the Red Sea (Exodus 14:10-12). As Pharaoh’s army approached, they looked up and saw only the crushing weight of their past and the immediate threat of death. Terrified, they cried out in unbelief, even claiming it would have been better to remain slaves in Egypt than to die in the desert. This was the direct consequence of losing spiritual sight—they saw the problem, but they had forgotten the One who promised.

In contrast, Moses’ response to the exact same crisis was remarkably different (Exodus 14:13-14). Moses saw the Egyptians too, but he saw something much larger: the mighty hand of God already at work. While the people were filled with discouragement and despair, Moses was already declaring victory. He was compelled to follow the Word of God, who had promised a land beyond the sea—the very land where the Christ would eventually come.

What we see determines how we choose. This is illustrated in the lives of Lot and Abraham (Genesis 13:10-13). Lot looked around and saw that the Jordan plain was well-watered and attractive, like the “land of Egypt.” Driven by worldly standards, he chose the immediate comfort of Sodom, a city of great wickedness. To Lot, God’s promise was not as important as his present sight.

Abraham, however, stayed the course in the less attractive land of Canaan. Scripture explains that he was looking for something the eyes of the world could not detect: “the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God” (Hebrews 11:10). Jesus later confirmed that Abraham’s obedience was fueled by a vision of the Gospel: “Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56).

May God open our eyes to see His covenant beyond our present reality. May He illuminate the “light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ” upon our journey (2 Corinthians 4:4). When our spiritual discernment is restored, we begin to think and choose whatever is true, noble, right, pure, and lovely (Philippians 4:8).

We must also recognize that obedience is always preceded by prayer and worship. In the early church at Antioch, the leaders were not moving based on human strategy. While they were worshiping and fasting, the Holy Spirit spoke: “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them” (Acts 13:1-3). Sending off their primary leaders was a difficult decision for a young church, but they were convinced of the Holy Spirit’s direction. They were compelled to obey because they were focused on the fulfillment of Christ’s promise to take the Gospel to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

In all circumstances, we must seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer (Ephesians 6:18). He is all-present, all-knowing, and all-powerful, and He reveals the path of obedience that brings ultimate glory to the Father (Matthew 5:16). The supreme example of this is our Lord Jesus, whose obedience—even unto death on a cross—brought the highest glory to God and resulted in His exaltation over all things (Philippians 2:5-11).

When we live in obedience, every mundane act becomes an eternal investment. “So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God” (1 Corinthians 10:31). Revealing His glory is the very reason for our existence.

Prayer. Father, grant me the same mindset as Christ Jesus. Open my eyes to look beyond the visible world and toward the places where Your covenant is being fulfilled. Help me listen to the Holy Spirit’s voice in every step of my life, so that my choices may reflect Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

When Is the Power of God Revealed?

Matthew 28:18-20. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

As we truly come to know who we are and who Jesus Christ is, and as we grow in that understanding, we begin to experience God’s power and blessings. This begins when human beings come to know where we came from, why we are here, and where we are going.

Therefore, we must first remember seven facts that give the answer to all of life. First, originally, human beings were created in the image of God. We were created to live in fellowship with God and to conquer the world by the power that God gives.

Second, however, human beings were deceived by the invisible devil and committed sin, leaving God. As a result, the image of God became darkened, and the human spirit came into a state of death.

Third, from that moment on, anxiety, curses, fear, defeat, suffering, and death continually entered human life. From the time humanity left God, these dark spiritual problems began.

Fourth, people struggle through life in many ways on this earth, living like strangers and travelers. Then one day, they face death and go to their spiritual homeland. God’s children go to God’s kingdom, but those who have left God go to hell together with the devil.

Fifth, therefore, God came to this earth to restore His image in us.

Sixth, Jesus Christ is true God and true man. Because God came in a human body, the spirit of Jesus is truly God, and His body came as a sinless true man. Therefore, He could deliver us from the hand of Satan, and He could die in our place for our sins.

Seventh and finally, when we receive the resurrected Jesus Christ, who is eternal life, into our hearts as our Savior, our life, and our true Lord, then all the problems of our lives are solved. Be certain of these seven facts contained in the gospel and enjoy new blessings as children of God.

Once we enjoy the gospel, the blessing of Immanuel, and the blessings of being children of God, we can live in that blessing. However, there are three obstacles that hinder us from enjoying these blessings. Therefore, you must begin three battles.

The greatest obstacle to enjoying the gospel and the blessings of being God’s children is actually ourselves. Our own thoughts, the standards we have formed while living, and our own timetable become the problem. Because we think, judge, decide, and act according to our own thoughts, standards, and plans, we fail to enjoy the tremendous blessings in the gospel. Instead, we continue to live in worry, discouragement, and failure.

So how can we win the battle with ourselves? Simply put, we must change the master of our lives. If until now we ourselves have been the master of our lives, then from now on we must accept Christ as our Lord, entrust all our lives to Him, rely on Him, and walk together with Him.

Then we will overcome our limitations and our level, and experience victory. Entrust your environment to the Lord and discover His plan. Rather than seeking our own will, seek God’s perfect will. Rather than trusting our own plans, believe that God’s plan is more perfect.

Our stubbornness and our own thoughts bring no real benefit. May our lives become lives that completely entrust ourselves to the Lord. When we truly trust God, God will also take full responsibility for our lives and work in them.

In the last days, we must fight Satan, who continues trying to deceive us. Even though we are in Christ, Satan still tries to deceive, tempt, and attack us. With our own strength, we cannot overcome Satan’s temptations and attacks. But Jesus Christ, who is in us, has already defeated the authority of Satan. You will be victorious in every spiritual battle against Satan.

In John 1:12, it says that God gives us not only the status of being His children but the authority to become children of God.

In Matthew 28:18, Christ, who possesses all authority in heaven and on earth, promised to be with us always.

In Mark 1:27, we see even demons submitting before Jesus Christ.

In 1 John 3:8, it says, “The Son of God appeared to destroy the works of the devil.”

And in John 16:24, Jesus promised that when we pray in His name, God will answer our prayers.

Therefore, we will overcome all of Satan’s deception, temptation, and attacks, receive answers to prayer, and live victorious lives.

Third, it is the battle with the world. The battle with the world does not mean a physical fight. The world we live in includes our family life, workplace life, social life, and every part of our daily living. The most important answer to living victoriously in this world is living a life led by the Holy Spirit.

If until now we have lived according to our own thoughts, plans, and methods, then from now on we must hold onto the Word given in worship and seek God’s will through prayer and meditation on that Word. When we pray to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, God will perfectly guide our lives.

In John 14:16, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit, the Counselor, will protect us, give us grace, teach us, and be with us forever.

In John 14:26, it says the Holy Spirit will remind us of everything and guide our lives.

In Matthew 12:28, Jesus said: “If I drive out demons by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God has come upon you.” As we receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit, God’s kingdom will come upon our families, our workplaces, and every part of our lives.

May God’s kingdom come upon our families, may our workplaces become places of God’s kingdom, and may God’s kingdom come upon the hearts of our children. As we pray and enjoy the blessings of God’s kingdom, we will be victorious in the world.

Finally, when does God’s power begin in our lives?

From the moment we become children of God and our original sin problem is solved, God’s blessing and power have already come to us. When we begin to resolve the noise of unbelief within us, God’s power will begin to manifest in our lives.

If we repent of the unbelief that made us rely on ourselves and instead trust and depend only on God, then God’s power will begin to appear in our lives. Even the suffering, persecution, illness, and frustration that come to us now contain God’s good plan.

When we discover God’s purpose in our lives and the greater meaning of where we are placed, and begin to pray for that purpose, then God’s power will come upon every place we are and everything we do.

May you be victorious through Jesus Christ, and as you win the three battles,
I bless you in the name of the Lord to live as powerful and victorious Christians.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for working powerfully through the Holy Spirit. Heal my spirit, soul, mind, heart, and body by the power of your word. Fill me with Your Spirit so I may stand as Christ’s witness throughout the day. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Preparation to Save the Region and World

Prayer Journal: March 9, 2026
31. May 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:4

▣ Introduction

Remnants must surely remember: You must make “preparations to save your region and the world.” The most important thing is that you must not be deceived by lies. Joseph’s brothers lived so, so difficultly for their entire lives. Why was that? It is because they were holding onto the wrong things. Our Remnants must surely remember this.

1) Prayer 300%
What exactly does this mean? Because Joseph possessed this, it was extremely easy. Everything is decided right here. Evangelism is something so easy, but isn’t it difficult [for you]? That is because it is the wrong thing. If Remnants are not careful, they listen to those wrong things and grow old. That must not happen. For Joseph, it was too easy. What on earth is this?

(1) Bartizan (Platform): Right now, the Bartizan of Jehovah has stood within me. This is called a Platform. Since there is a Bartizan, Remnants must unconditionally make a Bartizan of Prayer.
(2) Journey (Watchtower): Then, you can go on the Journey carrying this. It is completely prepared, right? When going on the Journey, you shine the light; therefore, it is called a Watchtower.
(3) Guidepost (Antenna): You can make Guideposts here and there that emit light. This is called an Antenna. Therefore, Remnants must receive this answer first and prepare.

2) Studies
Then, your studies will align with these three things:

(1) 237: They align with the 237 nations. That is how you succeed.
(2) 5,000 Tribes: They align with the 5,000 tribes.
(3) TCK: Even while you are just doing [your work], they align with TCKs. Only in this way can you do world evangelization. Do not worry about your studies right now, but prepare 300%. It is a very easy thing, but you are suffering because you keep hearing wrong words.

3) Remnant
So, what is a Remnant?

(1) Transcending Time and Space: If you know this fact, you come to know the answer of transcending time and space. Prayer is transcending time and space.
(2) Unprecedented: You are praying now, but what will happen later? God gives an unprecedented answer. This is the answer given to Remnants. He gives unprecedented answers and answers that transcend time and space.
(3) Throne / Kingdom / Work: Why do these things happen? Regarding the blessing of the Throne, while you are sitting here and praying right now, the Kingdom of God descends. Right? You must believe this. Jesus explained for 40 days that the affairs of God’s Kingdom would be fulfilled. It is surely so.

What is an answer? The fact that “this kind of thing” appeared now—that is not the answer. That is a result. An answer occurs here [inside]. Someone, a certain person, committed suicide—that is a result. It is a result; the spiritual problem had already arrived. Right? That is an answer [in a sense], but a wrong answer. This [spiritual state] comes to the Remnant first. That is why Jesus explained it continually. Because they didn’t believe, He explained for 40 days. Even so, they didn’t believe. Who is the person who understood these words? It is Paul. When you understand, works occur. I say it again. What is an answer? It is this. Whether I am healed or sick—that is a result. Whether I earned money or not—that is a result; the answer starts here [spiritually] first. Therefore, when they asked Jesus to teach them prayer, He said to pray for the Kingdom to descend. Even at the very end, He explained about the affairs of God’s Kingdom for 40 days. Remnants do not need to worry about anything. If you grasp this covenant and build [the Bartizan], you are destined to victory. There are no competitors. To say there is a competitor means you have already grasped worldly things. There was no competitor for Joseph. Right? No competitor for Moses. Look at it! No competitor for David. Then, what does it mean to say there is a competitor? It means doing things with similar skills regarding worldly things; that is competition. When my skill and this friend’s skill are the same, we must compete. Right? Carry this blessing and do world evangelization.

▣ Main Body

Let us take a look.

1. Acts 17:1-9
Paul went here.

1) Synagogue: To the synagogue. But what is important here is Thessalonica.
2) Thessalonica (Rome): There is a road in Thessalonica that connects to Rome. Thessalonica is a region with a road connecting to Rome.
3) Christ: He went to the synagogue here and explained this one thing properly. By explaining only Christ properly, you can give the answer. This past week, that person who appeared in our interview on the broadcast—their hair is long now—that person is a [former] Buddhist monk. Not just any monk, but a chief monk. He suffered immense spiritual problems and difficulties. This person came to know that, as time went on, this [monkhood] wouldn’t work. No matter how much he tried, it wouldn’t work. All of that is a lie. “I am practicing the way [asceticism] by myself”—all of that is a lie. It is being deceived. This person was resolved by meeting Christ. Therefore, he threw away everything he was doing as a chief monk and came to church. Didn’t he say so? Because Christ is the answer, many people are trapped in darkness without knowing. Remnants must arise and save them.

2. Acts 18:1-4
Where is this?

1) Corinth: It is Corinth. Corinth, a neighborhood with the greatest idols; a port city completely covered by the culture of darkness…
2) Synagogue: Again, he visits the synagogue.
3) Friday-Saturday-Sunday (Prayer): It said “every Sabbath” here. This is the Friday-Saturday-Sunday Age. If a Remnant only realizes what worship is and what prayer is, they can do everything.

3. Acts 19:8-21
Where is this?

1) Tyrannus: It is Tyrannus. The central city of Ephesus, where the great statue of Artemis stands.
2) Synagogue: Therefore, he visited the synagogue.
3) Kingdom: There, he explained about the Kingdom of God.

▣ Conclusion

What is more important is the conclusion. There is a background that Paul was desperately teaching.

1) AD 70 – 1948
Not many years were left. In AD 70, Israel was completely destroyed. God completely collapsed Israel, which was blocking the Gospel and teaching the Law. Israel, which blocked this Gospel of grace and taught only systems, culture, and customs—God collapsed them at this time. Until 1948 [the restoration of Israel], it was gruesome. Remnants, do not be deceived. At that time, whom did He send into that [destruction]? Remnants. They were all dragged into there. How great is the power of the Gospel? Even though only 1 or 2 people realized, works occurred. Right now, because you have no feeling and cannot see it: “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”

2) AD 79
This is something that happened not long after. It is the year that Pompeii, the center of Roman culture, exploded. It wasn’t just [by chance].

3) AD 313
Something even more ironic: it is the day Rome declared Christianity as the state religion.

All of this was prepared for. This time right now, when Remnants are receiving the Gospel, is the time God is preparing for the future. Do not be deceived. If we are not careful, we have no choice but to use worldly things, physical things, and things learned from adults as our standards. Those are not incorrect words, are they? But with those things, you cannot do world evangelization. The words spoken by the Jews were not incorrect. It’s just that it wasn’t the Gospel; the words weren’t “wrong.” But you cannot do world evangelization, and you cannot solve spiritual problems. That is why they die. In death, the things you liked so much and cherished become useless. Then, you leave spiritual problems behind and go. You must stop this. Do not be deceived; it is enough if Remnants are not deceived. You keep being deceived by looking at reality. You are deceived by looking at yourself. Deceived by looking at parents, deceived by going to church—you miss everything. If a Remnant just grasps this covenant, works will surely occur. I will pray.

Prayer. May today become an important day, may today become a day of healing, may today become a day where spiritual doors open, may the Kingdom of God descend in every place, may this be a time where the affairs of God’s Kingdom are fulfilled, may today be a day where all darkness blocking the Gospel is bound, and may today be a day for the Remnant where doors of world evangelization quickly open. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

How Do You Discover God's Will?

Romans 12:1-2. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. 2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Without knowing God’s will, it is impossible to truly obey Him. Obedience is not merely doing religious activities or following our own good intentions; it is aligning our lives with what God desires. The question, then, is this: How do we discover God’s will—“His good, pleasing and perfect will”?

First, we must understand that God’s will is never separated from His character. In every situation, God calls us to choose good over evil. This is the most basic expression of His will. Scripture clearly teaches:

“When tempted, no one should say, ‘God is tempting me.’ For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death” (James 1:13–15).

Temptation does not come from God. It arises when our own desires pull us away from what is right. Sin always begins small—in a thought, a feeling, or a desire—but if it is allowed to grow, it ultimately leads to destruction. Therefore, choosing what is good and resisting what is evil is a daily way of walking in God’s will.

God’s will is also revealed in how we respond to others. Winning arguments, defeating opponents, or proving ourselves right is not what pleases God. The world values victory over others, but God values reconciliation.

When someone has wronged you, forgiveness is the response God desires. Jesus taught that we must forgive not merely a few times, but again and again (Matthew 18:22). Likewise, the apostle Paul instructs believers: “Do not repay anyone evil for evil” (Romans 12:17).

When we search for faults in others or dwell on their failures, we are unknowingly participating in the work of the accuser. Scripture calls Satan “the accuser of our brothers and sisters” (Revelation 12:10). Instead of accusing, God calls us to intercede. Pray for the person who has hurt you so that he or she may turn from error and be restored. Such a response pleases the Father and reflects the heart of Christ.

God’s will is also revealed through peace. Jesus said, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God” (Matthew 5:9). Bringing peace into a place of conflict is not weakness—it is a powerful spiritual act. When believers bring the peace of God into situations of hostility and division, they become instruments of God’s kingdom. In such moments, the promise of Scripture is fulfilled: “The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet” (Romans 16:20).

Beyond these practical choices, God’s will becomes clearer as we immerse ourselves in His Word. The Word of God does more than provide information; it transforms our thinking. As our minds are renewed by Scripture, our perspective changes. We begin to see situations as God sees them.

This is why the apostle Paul wrote, “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will” (Romans 12:2). When our minds are renewed by the Word, we gain the spiritual discernment necessary to recognize what pleases God.

Prayer is another essential way through which God reveals His will. Prayer is not merely presenting requests; it is communion with God. It is the channel through which the Holy Spirit guides, corrects, and directs us. For this reason, believers are encouraged to pray continually and to seek the Spirit’s guidance in every circumstance.

The life of the apostle Paul illustrates this beautifully. Throughout his missionary journeys, Paul continually sought to follow the direction of the Holy Spirit rather than his own plans.

“Paul and his companions traveled throughout the region of Phrygia and Galatia, having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the word in the province of Asia. When they came to the border of Mysia, they tried to enter Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them to” (Acts 16:6–7).

Paul had plans, but he remained sensitive to the Spirit’s leading. When the Spirit closed one door, Paul did not force his way through it. Instead, he continued seeking God’s guidance.

Later, while staying in Troas, Paul received a vision of a man from Macedonia calling for help. Through this, he and his companions concluded that God was directing them to preach the gospel there (Acts 16:10). At the time, no one could have imagined that this step would bring the gospel into Europe and eventually shape the course of Western history.

When Paul arrived in Philippi, the leading city of Macedonia, the first thing he did was search for a place of prayer. This was not accidental. Before beginning ministry, he wanted to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance.

Even when Paul encountered a slave girl who was possessed by an evil spirit, he did not react immediately. Scripture tells us that he waited for many days (Acts 16:16–18). Paul was not acting impulsively; he was discerning the timing and leading of the Spirit.

Paul understood something crucial: he was not the captain of the mission. The true leader was the Holy Spirit. Paul believed that if the gospel was to reach the ends of the earth, it would only happen through God’s guidance and power. That is why prayer remained central in his life.

Ultimately, the will of God is not only personal—it is global and redemptive. God’s ultimate purpose is for the gospel to reach the ends of the earth. Jesus declared, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses…to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). The worldwide proclamation of the gospel is God’s absolute plan.

Jesus also foretold: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). Therefore, the purpose of the believer’s life is ultimately connected to this mission. Our calling is to participate in the fulfillment of Christ’s Great Commission—to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:16–20).

Yet we do not carry out this mission alone. Jesus concluded His commission with a promise that brings deep comfort and confidence: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

Because of this promise, we do not need to be anxious or afraid. The One who calls us also walks with us. He guides us through His Word, leads us through His Spirit, and strengthens us through prayer.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to discover Your will through Your Word and through prayer. Renew my mind so that I may understand and follow Your good, pleasing, and perfect will. Lead me by Your Holy Spirit so that my life may serve Your purpose and advance the gospel to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

How Should You Begin from Here?

John 17:11-12. I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one. 12 While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled.

Those of us who have received salvation have obtained complete spiritual liberation and freedom. Then how should we live while we are still on this earth?

First, until the end of the world, we must clearly know, foresee, and remember that Satan still exists. Among all the books on earth, the only book that reveals the true identity and schemes of Satan is the Bible. That is why Satan hates it when people understand the Bible correctly.

In the Bible, when the Genesis 3 incident occurred—when man lost the blessings God originally gave them—God gave a promise in Genesis 3:15. God prophesied that the offspring of the woman would come and crush the head of the serpent, which symbolizes Satan.

According to that prophecy, Jesus Christ, who came to this earth as the offspring of the woman and was conceived by the Holy Spirit, died on the cross and rose again. Through His death and resurrection, He completely broke the authority of Satan. Therefore, Satan’s head has already been crushed. Now he is only wandering around, struggling desperately until the end. The Bible also states that on the day when Jesus returns again as the Judge, Satan will be bound forever.

However, there is something we must not overlook. While we live on this earth, Satan continues to deceive believers through evil spirits, deceiving spirits, false prophets, heresies, and demons. Therefore, it is very important for us to gain spiritual victory through worship, the Word, and prayer.

Satan does not only try to make us fall; he also tries to attack our families. Therefore, we must pray for the evangelization of our families. Every member of our family must believe in Jesus as their Savior and become children of God, so that God’s kingdom may come upon our family. This is something you must pray for.

Satan especially looks for unbelievers without the Gospel and believers without assurance. 1 Peter 5:8 says that he prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. For those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior, Satan’s head has already been crushed. However, for those who do not yet believe in Jesus, Satan still remains a threatening force that leads their lives toward destruction.

Matthew 12 says that if Satan’s attack is allowed once, later he can return with seven times greater power. Sometimes he attacks people with various unknown diseases. Sometimes he causes confusion through mental and emotional problems, bringing suffering through psychological illness.

However, the Bible says that those who believe in Jesus Christ as their Savior and have assurance of their status as children of God can overcome. James 4:7 says: “Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Satan looks for a place to rest, like an empty house without water. “Without water” means without the living water of God’s grace. Even if someone has received salvation, if they do not experience God’s grace and love through worship, the Word, and prayer, they become spiritually vulnerable to Satan’s attacks.

Matthew 12:45 says that the devil likes an empty house. This refers to a spiritually empty house. If Jesus Christ is not truly enthroned in our hearts, if our hearts are not filled with God’s grace and love, then our hearts become spiritually empty. Even if we try to clean and organize our lives outwardly, Satan will attack that empty heart again, and the person’s spiritual state can become even worse.

That is why Satan hates the Gospel so much. He hates prayer, he hates studying the Bible correctly, and he especially hates proper worship. He fears most when believers worship on Sunday and share the Gospel.

There are five important truths we must always remember. First, it is most important to know Jesus Christ deeply and correctly. Jesus is the One who solved the three fundamental problems that humans could never solve—the spiritual problems caused by Satan, sin, and separation from God.

He is the True King who delivered me from Satan’s authority, the True Priest who freed me from all sin and disasters, and the True Prophet who gives me eternal life and leads me back to God. These three works together are called Christ. Therefore, Jesus is the Christ. The more we know and believe in this Christ, the more Satan will flee.

Second, according to the Bible, the Triune God—God the Creator, Jesus Christ, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, the Counselor—is my God and is with me. We must pray so that the Spirit of the Triune God truly fills us. Then the Triune God will be with us through the power of the throne.

Third, if we confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord of our hearts, the Lord of our families, the Lord of our workplaces, and the Lord of all areas of our lives, then Christ will establish the Kingdom of God in our lives, our families, and our workplaces.

Fourth, if we acknowledge the name and authority of Jesus Christ and testify and witness about Him to others in our daily lives, God will work so that darkness is broken and the light shines.

Fifth, when Jesus Christ becomes our Lord, regardless of our level, ability, environment, or background, Christ will work through us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Therefore, it is important that we always remember and practice these five truths.

The people of the world can be divided into three types according to their spiritual condition. We should think carefully about where we are and where we should be.

First, in the first spiritual state, the seat where the Lord should be is occupied by ourselves. We become the lord of our own lives, and Jesus is still outside our lives. This is the state of an unbeliever. When this happens, because we are living as the lord of our lives, Satan can freely attack our lives. Our lives and even our families can become playgrounds for Satan, and we continue to experience problems, confusion, and suffering.

Second, when we receive Jesus into our hearts, we become children of God. Jesus is now inside our hearts. However, if you look carefully, even though Jesus is in our hearts, we are still sitting on the throne of our lives. We still live according to our thoughts, our plans, our methods, and our strength. We still live centered on ourselves. In this situation, Jesus is inside us, but He waits. Satan still deceives and attacks believers who live centered on themselves.

Third, the correct state is when we completely accept Jesus Christ as the Lord of our lives and begin to hold onto His Word and pray. When this happens, Satan cannot overcome us. Even if Satan tempts or attacks us, the Christ who lives in us is our Lord, so Satan has no choice but to kneel. Problems become opportunities to find God’s answers. Conflicts become opportunities for renewal.
Crises become opportunities to experience God’s new works. Therefore, we must give the throne of our lives to Christ and entrust our lives to Him.

From today, I encourage you to begin scheduled prayer. When you wake up in the morning and open your eyes, begin with a prayer that looks toward God. If you start your day thinking, “I’m tired, frustrated, and exhausted,” that thought becomes your state, and that state eventually becomes your life. Instead, when you open your eyes, begin by looking toward the Triune God. Pray to be filled with the power and authority of the throne, and start your day with the strength that God gives.

During the day, you go to work, meet people, and do many things. But even one minute after lunch is enough. Pray that God will work in the place where you are, in the work you are doing, and in the people you are meeting. Through this brief midday prayer, God’s kingdom can be established in your field.

Before going to sleep at night, look back on your day with thanksgiving. Pray that God will fill you with His power again. Check your schedule for the next day and expect God’s work. Then you will sleep with true peace, comfort, and strength from God. That becomes your scheduled prayer for the night.

Even three prayers of one minute each day are good: Morning prayer to begin the day with God’s strength; Midday prayer to bless the field where you are; Night prayer to end the day with thanksgiving and expectation. Through this scheduled prayer, begin a new life.

During the day, connect everything to prayer—the people you meet, the places you go, and even the problems, events, and crises you experience. When everything is connected to prayer, everything becomes prayer. Through scheduled prayer, you receive strength, and when you turn all your thoughts into prayer during the day, you will begin to experience 24-hour prayer.

Then you will experience God who is with you 24 hours, and you will live victoriously through the strength, wisdom, and power that God gives. May you receive Jesus Christ as the true Lord of your life and enjoy God’s presence through scheduled prayer and continuous prayer, and you will experience God who is with you 24 hours a day.
