Devotional Worship for Establishing the 237 Missions Bartizan Team
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

Thank you. Jesus was walking on the road and became hungry. He went to a fig tree, and although its leaves were abundant, it had no fruit. So Jesus cursed the fig tree. But what is written in the Bible is that it was not yet the season for figs to bear fruit. But as they passed by again, they saw that the tree had withered. Seeing that it had withered, only then Peter said, “Oh?” and was surprised. “Ah, this tree really withered.” Like this. We usually live our walk of faith like that. God’s Word is being fulfilled, but only later we go, “Oh?” like this. That day Peter should have asked. “Why did You curse the fig tree?” He should have asked. “It wasn’t the fig season—why did You do that?” If he had asked, a message that changes the age would have come out. But they missed everything and later said, “Oh? The tree really withered?” Like that. Whenever disasters come, God always carried out world evangelization. It’s just that we live as if it has nothing to do with us, and afterward we say, “Oh? So this is what happened?” like this.

237 Mission Bartizan Team (Acts 13:1) – 5-person unit –

So today, the 237 Mission Bartizan Team is formed—Acts chapter 13 verse 1 is where the mission team is first sent. Here, a 5-person unit appears. You saw well.

These people are the secret task force who helped Paul. Not long ago, I saw some news that five thugs were harassing a mother and a young lady in a shopping district, and these five men were beaten half to death by that woman. It turns out that this woman was an officer who had been trained in a special forces unit. But how is it that the same person, the same woman, receives such training? This is how they began. “I am special forces. I must have the skills to protect the president or important people. When someone is in danger, I must go rescue them, so we must have special ability.” They thought like that. When you think like that, it becomes so. We are the secret task force for world evangelization. You must first firmly hold this in your heart. But when you look at the Bible and also look at history, there are people who never really asked for blessings, yet God brought everything to them. It’s important. There are people who ask for blessings but don’t receive them, yet there are those who never asked, and God brought them only the very best. Those people are the ones mentioned here (the secret task force of Romans 16:25-27).

▣ Introduction

1. Numbers 14:1-10, Joshua 14:6-15
   Look at the age of Egypt. Numbers chapter 14 verses 1 through 10. The spies—these were special forces. They returned after spying out the land of Canaan. They were special forces. Ten people said they could not go. At that time Joshua and Caleb said they could go. Their mountain was a great fortress, but at the very end they stumbled there again. It was the Anak mountain region. The people were shaken again there. The person who appeared at that time was Caleb. God gave all answers and the center of the timetable in the age of Egypt to these people. So we must do our best, but we also need to work with some composure. The more urgent things become, the more we must do so. Also, we may need to strive and make efforts to obtain things, but we must also see how God works greatly. We must do what is necessary at the right time, but we also must know how to wait. Because they could not do this, they all died in the wilderness. And the ten spies gave a negative report. But Israel entered the land of Canaan. They entered leaving behind tremendous works.
2. 1 Samuel 17:1-47 (David)
   They faced the age of the Philistines. They were constantly being struck. At this time, there was a person God had hidden away. There was one person completely hidden, and that person was David. This David was the special secret task force. He completely broke the Philistines. Of course he defeated Goliath, but he completely broke the Philistine army. It was tremendous. He established one thousand bartizans. For us, even building one bartizan is difficult, but he built one thousand. And he prepared the sanctuary for world evangelization. He was the secret task force. He did not reveal himself—he was the hidden task force. This task force is called in English the “Dead Band.” It means a team that risks death. And holding this blessing, he moved—then look what happened.
3. 1 Kings 18:1-5, 2 Kings 6:8-24
   They next faced the age of Aram. And at this time another person appeared to be used—he was a complete secret task force: Obadiah. Though the king ordered the prophets to be killed, he disobeyed the king’s command and hid them—one hundred of them. Amazing. When I see that I cannot understand. “Wow, how could he do that?” To disobey the terrifying King Ahab and Jezebel’s orders and hide the prophets? But God protected them and later the Dothan movement arose. This is the secret task force that receives true answers. So what eventually happened? They became a secret task force that defeated the Aramean army without fighting. Look at the flow of the age. If you don’t know the gospel, don’t know evangelism, don’t know missions, there is no reason—you perish. Even if you don’t like hearing it, it’s the truth. Even if it doesn’t come into your ears, it’s the truth. It’s three things. If you don’t know the gospel, don’t know evangelism, don’t know missions, then this will happen again.
4. Daniel 1:8-9, 3:8-24, Esther 4:1-16
   After sending them to Egypt and it did not work, God sent them to Babylon. It looked like Babylon captured them, but God sent them. Because the 237–5,000 tribes were there. They needed to shine the light to the 237–5,000 tribes. At this time, the secret task force who understood this came out—Daniel. His three friends. Esther. They arose like this. Through them God accomplished His work completely. You must catch this blessing. You who are giving this dedication worship today.
5. Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:1-8
   And because things still did not work, God made them a colony under Rome. You must look well at the flow of Scripture. Israel was always being taken captive and beaten—that was their history. Why was it so? At this time, for the first time, the ones who understood the reason formed a secret task force and went out. This is Acts chapter 13 verses 1 through 4. A 5-person unit. They completely conquered Macedonia. They conquered the school of Tyrannus and Rome. They were just there quietly, but God used them as the center of history. This is important. It’s not that they used some special means or methods, but God gave answers and made them the main figures of history—this is the true answer.

▣ Main Message _ The Eternal Timetable
Then this evangelism secret task force has three very important keys. God’s timetable is the eternal timetable. The clock God has goes from eternity past to eternity future. Right? That is the clock that sees everything at once. Of course, God may not wear a clock, but if we were to say He did. The Creator God doesn’t need a clock. But it is the timetable from eternity past to eternity future. From here, the 5-person unit must remember this, and our church must have many such cases arise.

1. Absolute Bartizan [ People ]
   Do not think this is something you always hear—listen while praying. I do not go to camp often. Even in the past. When I went, I returned with something definite. And I do not go with my own methods. I go receiving perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit. So if you want to save the church, save your posterity, save everything, then don’t just do it—establish the absolute bartizan. When do you establish the absolute bartizan? The absolute bartizan includes buildings, but it is people. There are people God prepared and has planned from eternity past to eternity future.

1)The remaining ones – the ones who will remain
The remaining ones. If you find these people, the absolute bartizan is complete. These people will stand as the ones who remain.

2)The sojourners – healing
The second word. They look like wanderers, but they are not. Because of these incidents they became wanderers. But no—they are sojourners. If even one sojourner stands, the absolute bartizan stands. These people do not get offended. These people are not deceived by the “resentment demon.” These people are not deceived by the “show-off demon.” They are the absolute bartizan. These people go and heal. This is the bartizan. You must remember this. In Busan, I established an absolute bartizan, but leaving that behind, I should go somewhere else to save others, but they kept trying to keep me from going. They wanted to sing hymns with me. “Sing hymns among yourselves. I have to go elsewhere.” If people really don’t understand, then although I don’t lie, I have to evade. Right? “Oh, I have something special to do.” And slip away. So in the beginning, the 30 places where I did the Darakbang—I removed all of them. Why? Because they were no longer needed—I had to go elsewhere. They became people of prayer who firmly uphold our church, so if I kept going with them it would not work. I had to move quickly. It’s the same in business. Those who do business properly save many places. This is the sojourner. This is called 300%.

3)The conqueror – darkness
What does this sojourner do? They do not fight people. They fight darkness. The conqueror. They are formed like this. They definitely exist. If you find this, it is complete. If you do not find this, you should not go. Sometimes Paul stayed for three months, sometimes for years, sometimes for months—this was to find this.

4)The scattered ones – the sent ones
From this point their eyes open. Because of this work, the scattered ones become visible. These scattered ones are the ones sent. They are changed like this. When we trained at the industrial complex, at the first word, consolation was not necessary. “You must save your family line and your hometown and your region. If not, your family line will forever remain in darkness. So you are not here to make money—you must live your walk of faith properly here.” What consolation is needed? True disciples do not need such things. If you keep trying to soothe them with words, that is because they are fake—true ones do not need that. They are those sent by God. You must find this. This is the beginning of the absolute bartizan. Especially our associate pastors must remember this. If you form a few absolute bartizans, it is over. Then the elders are watching you with their eyes wide open thinking you may leave. Trying to keep you from leaving. Now it is the opposite. They watch with their eyes wide open hoping you would go out. A servant of the Lord does not need to be respected, but must not become an object of ridicule or contempt. Do it. Form absolute bartizans. Try it. You do not need skill. If you have too much skill, what will you build? You should not build—you must find what is already built. What does this mean? “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart.” That is the absolute bartizan. “We were going to the place of prayer,” so they met Lydia. As they were going to pray, they met the demon-possessed girl. Paul boldly explained about the kingdom of God for three months, and the door of Rome opened. You must look carefully. Because God prepared it, it is not difficult.

5)The watchman – 24, 25, eternity
Now this person becomes the watchman. Now they help you. This watchman is 24, 25, eternity. A disciple is not someone who always receives help from you. One day they begin to help you. Right? At first they asked for help to send mission offerings, but now they send mission offerings themselves. That is a disciple. Look at the Antioch Church. At first they received help, but later the Antioch Church collected offerings and helped the Jerusalem Church during the famine.

6)The spies – disaster
Same word, but the spies. What are the spies? They are the special forces who quickly go to block disasters. They must block disasters.

7)The one who raises the banner – the highway
Finally, what is revealed? The one who raises the banner. This word is very important. It is the person who raises the banner. So they prepare the highway. The highway is the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age. With this it ends. You must study like this. You must do business like this. This is not mixing business with the gospel for your advantage. Because you are the one who holds onto God’s absolute bartizan through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you must do all things like this. What if you cannot find this? Then wait. The best method is to wait. So someone like me who is lazy is better than someone who runs around restlessly. You misunderstand thinking I am very diligent, but I am not. I am lazy. I dislike troublesome things. I do not do much. I do not even have time to do things that are necessary—how can I do unnecessary things? But I do not let go of this: the absolute bartizan.

2. Absolute Journey [ Healing ]
   At this time, you go on the absolute journey. In the absolute journey, the road becomes visible. What kind of road? Healing. This road becomes visible. So when you go, you just need to say one thing.

1)Nephilim
What sickness is it? They have Nephilim sickness. Do you know this? Right now, spiritually tormented people are suffering from Nephilim sickness, which is a spiritual-mental illness. Because the church does not know this, the church can never heal them. Why? Because they do not know. So these people go elsewhere. They go to receive “spirits,” you know? But they are not helped there either—how could they be? It becomes worse when they go. So they go to strange groups. They go to places that do strange things. They go there. Nephilim. In Korea there are 300,000 shamans. Isn’t this Nephilim sickness? They do not do it because they want to. Many entertainers—don’t they look capable? It is Nephilim sickness. Many real musicians have Nephilim sickness. Why did that person take drugs? Why did they commit suicide? You say that because you do not know. They have no choice. One day they cannot overcome and commit suicide. Nephilim sickness. To heal this, God gives absolute answers.

2)Incurable diseases (the root)
Especially diseases doctors can cure—then go to the doctor. But incurable diseases—the root of the incurable disease is healed. This was done.

3)Posterity
And what else did they do? They entered the synagogues and healed the posterity. The three healings. They entered the synagogues. They did not know what the gospel was—so they taught. They did not know what prayer was. They did not know what worship was—so they taught. They did not know what prayer answers were—so they taught. They entered three synagogues. Then it appears.

3. Absolute Guidepost [ Memorial ]
   When should you return? When the absolute guidepost is made, you may return. You can leave it alone. This is called setting up the memorial stone of evangelism. So today I am watching carefully as the North Korean teams gather. I watch closely and wait. “Are they real or not?” If they seem real, I must hold onto them. Right? The real ones, I call them. They help even if I did not ask for help—because they are real. There are many fakes. So I wait to distinguish them well. So although we want people who are very good, if someone is too good to you, that is also not good. Because they cling due to that. Even unbelievers who are genuine are different. The famous teacher who taught Heo Jun did not teach Heo Jun for three years. Right? He did not teach him. Why? Because he saw him as a true disciple. So Heo Jun waited. Although for three years he did not teach anything and only told him to fetch water, Heo Jun endured. That is a true disciple. After three years the teacher began to teach him. And he gave everything—not to his own son, but to Heo Jun. Why? Because his son was a fake. His son was not the absolute bartizan. But he gave it to Heo Jun. Heo Jun later realized. For three years he only fetched water, but then he realized that real medicine depends on water. This is how the absolute guidepost is formed.

1)Fulfillment of the Word
From here, what comes out? The Word begins to be fulfilled.

2)The age
Works that save the age occur. This is the guidepost.

3)Eternity 300%
You cannot just leave it alone. When can you return? When you obtain the answer of eternity and when 300% is prepared—you then come out. You must do it exactly like this. Earlier this morning I spoke a lot about 300% during the regional study guide. You must understand what 300% means. Even unbelievers are doing this. Look carefully. Although they make food that is unhealthy, still look at Baek Jong-won. That person did 300%. First—whatever happens, they make the food tasty. It tastes good. If you put a lot of things in, it tastes good. Second—field sense. He organized nationwide branches. Third—what? The system. He created a company that can manage all this. He is a good businessman. Even with a restaurant you can succeed. That person made a lot of money. He sold one restaurant and paid his employees’ salaries with it. When will you earn money like that? Right? You must do it like the Darakbang in the Bible. Prepare the 300%. Then the absolute guidepost is established. Your life is about making this. Your evangelism is about finding this. Your missions is about seeing this. If you did not see this? No. I am sorry to say this but you will barely eat, grow old, and die. That should not happen. You tremble because you cannot eat, do nothing, and although you will know only when you get to heaven—you say, “Heaven? I’ll find out whether it exists or not when I get there.”

▣ Conclusion
This is the conclusion. There is a blessing God gives to the true disciple.

1. WIOS
   I’m sorry it is in English, but what blessing comes to the true disciple? With, Immanuel—while waiting quietly everything works together for answers. Oneness. They possess this system. This is the true disciple. When I see the music field now, I think that someone like Park Ju-young will do well in the future. Although it’s good to have cleverness, you must get the root right. It is correct that you meet many people and make many contacts, but you must make it so that they have no choice but to come. That is better. That friend, as I see it, has considerable possibility. I see that friend as one of the absolute bartizans.
2. OURS
   So those who make the absolute bartizan—this is not the end. They have the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation.
3. Reproduction, re-creation, re-challenge
   Then while leaving them alone, reproduction continues. “Teach others also.” While leaving them alone, re-creation continues. Without using any special humanism, re-challenge continues. For example, if you raise sheep, the sheep must know how to give birth. Right? If the sheep cannot give birth, even if you have a thousand, eventually they will all die. But if you have two sheep that can give birth, they will continue to increase. Spiritually, the movement of life continues. In the path our remnants take, in the path our young adults take, this reproduction discipleship movement continues. Words cannot describe it. So unbelievers look and say, “The Lord is with you.” When unbelievers look at our remnants and our young adults, they should say, “Wow, truly God is blessing you in everything.” That must be ours. Not only for those giving this dedication worship today, but all people have the qualification to receive this blessing. You, the 237 Mission Bartizan Team, must do this in earnest. Properly. So do not try to just heal the disease—let the root come alive. Do not try to solve the problem—gain the root power. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today we give this important dedication worship. Let us establish the absolute bartizan of the Lord. So let the path the Lord prepared be seen. Allow us to raise and teach those who can reproduce them. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

2025.11.23 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-18

▣ Introduction
1. Restore prayer – Reviving the soul, body, and brain
Jesus taught prayer together with the gospel before He left. Because your soul is collapsing, your body is collapsing, and our brain is collapsing, He taught the prayer that revives that. You must absolutely restore this.

1) Bartizan (the beginning of answers to prayer) – Thoughts and prayers are imprinted in the soul and the throne and become a bartizan inside me.
When this prayer takes place, a bartizan is formed inside me. That is the beginning of answers to prayer. The reason I keep telling you not to fall into unbelief is that unbelief becomes my bartizan. So what becomes imprinted in the brain never disappears. There is someone I know who was arrested for doing drugs and stayed in prison for a long time. After he came out, the drugs were out of his body, but because they were imprinted in his brain, he could not overcome it. Right now your thoughts and prayers are imprinted in your soul. They are also imprinted in the throne. This becomes a bartizan.

2) Journey – From that time, the path becomes visible.
When it becomes a bartizan, from that time the path becomes visible. That is what we call the journey.

3) Guidepost – The answers Jesus promised come. Evangelism and missions become visible.
Then even such difficult evangelism becomes visible. From that time, the answers Jesus promised begin to come. World missions becomes visible. That is what we call the guidepost.

2. This answer came upon Mark’s upper room – Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.
This answer came upon Mark’s upper room. Why is that? Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.

1) To overcome the world, a different power is needed – Jesus’ forty days of request
Nothing else is needed. Your children must go into a difficult world. That is why they need this strength. No matter how much you study and strive, to overcome the world a different power is needed. Jesus earnestly asked for this for forty days. That covenant has been fulfilled in today’s passage.

2) The early church facing its greatest crisis – Condemned as heresy, evangelism forbidden, cut off from society, imprisonment, execution
Now, what is it that you must know at this time? The early church is now facing its greatest crisis. The state condemned the early church as a heresy. At that time, it was an era of a totalitarian dictatorship state, so once the state made a law, no one could stop it. And they banned evangelism. Even that might be tolerable, but then they cut them off from society altogether. What would you do if you were in that situation? If you share the gospel, if you evangelize, they imprison you by law. And if you keep doing it, they execute you. What would happen then? It is a crisis.

3) A world where what is wrong is rampant – Do not be deceived.
It is a world where what is wrong runs rampant.

(1) Rome – Conquering the world, making nations into colonies, buying and selling people as slaves
Rome conquered the world, made nations into colonies, and bought and sold people as slaves. That is wrong. That is the world where such things run rampant. First of all. That is why people are deceived. We can easily all be deceived. While that is what is rampant.

(2) The theories of the Jews – The idea that you receive salvation by keeping the law, their messiah concept, their chosen-people concept
The theories of the Jews are wrong, but they dominate. “You do not receive salvation by faith; you receive salvation only if you keep all the laws.” That is the theory of the Jews. It may sound good, but it is impossible. “The Lord is not the God of other nations; He is the God of our nation.” That is wrong. “Christ is not the Messiah who will save the world; He is the Messiah who will deliver our nation. Therefore, we are the chosen people, and you are Gentiles.” That is wrong. But that is what is prevailing. People now begin to hold on to what is wrong.

(3) Giving up and running away
And it does not end there. They give up and run away. Jesus healed people with incurable diseases, but when Jesus was executed on the cross, should not at least one person have appeared? They all ran away. He performed miracles and even saved those who were about to starve to death. Yet everyone ran away. About one hundred twenty people remained, right? He had saved tens of thousands, but they all ran away.

3. He gave an unimaginable promise on Mt Olive, and that word has been fulfilled (Acts 1:8).
But God gave them an unimaginable promise. That is what you must hold on to today. Especially, He promised what kind of blessing the church leaders and remnants must receive. The promise Jesus gave on Mt Olive has been fulfilled. Three things. The word that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth” has been fulfilled.

▣ Main Message_ The fulfillment of Acts 1:8
When you face a great crisis, what must you do? You will face it. You must work in this crisis-filled world, so what must you do? You ought to lead the world, but instead you are being dragged along by it. What must you do? It is three things. Jesus Himself promised them. “If you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power. You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He clearly said so. That has been fulfilled.

1. When the Holy Spirit comes on you (the filling of the Holy Spirit) – Spiritual summit (spiritual king)
“When you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit.” He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes on you,” but to be exact, He was saying, “Just as John baptized with water, immersing people in water, you also will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.” What is the very first blessing you must receive to live in this world? It is the spiritual summit. God has called you as spiritual kings. Summit means king. The Bible says He has called you as spiritual kings. You must believe this.

1) A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) – Because we must proclaim the light (churches closing, spiritual problems, mental illness)
Peter said, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.” Why? Because you must proclaim this light. You must believe this. Otherwise, you will never be able to lead the world. The door of evangelism and world missions will never open before you. The churches of the world are closing their doors right now. It is urgent. At least our church must do the evangelism movement. Spiritual problems and mental illnesses have doubled. It is a big problem. Almost forty-four percent of school children are now taking medication for mental illness. The problem is that the church has absolutely no interest in this. What are they interested in? What do they care about? That is the important question. How will you overcome this crisis? Do not be shaken; become the spiritual summit. Receive the filling of the Holy Spirit.

2) A work that no person can stop – A wind-like and fire-like work (Acts 2:1–4)
Then today, a wind-like and fire-like work took place. What does that mean? It means that a wind-like and fire-like work took place that no person could stop. When a typhoon warning is issued, you must be careful. You cannot defeat a typhoon. Right?

3) The power by which God changes us – “They have had too much new wine” (Acts 2:13)
Others saw this and misunderstood. “They must be drunk on new wine.” I cannot do it, and you cannot do it, but God has revealed the power that changes us. That is the spiritual king. You must believe this word. This is what Jesus said. He completely changed me. God changed me, who was so powerless and poor, into an evangelist. You do not need to wait for some experience. You must believe. The seven remnants received exactly this blessing. They stood before kings and testified. They were spiritual kings above the kings. How great is God’s blessing? He has called you as spiritual kings, so go as the spiritual summit.

2. Go to the ends of the earth – Function summit (king of the field) – Preparing myself, the field, and the future (300%)
The second is what? You must believe. “Go to the ends of the earth.” What does that mean? He has called you as kings in the field. That is what we call the function summit. This is how you win. That is why we speak of 300%, preparing yourself, your field, and your future.

1) People from fifteen nations who would evangelize the world – He called them as summits and made their work into summits (Acts 2:9–11).
In today’s passage we read that there were people from about fifteen nations. These are the people who would evangelize the world. God has called them as summits. From this time on, God has made your work, your work field, and your studies into summits. Carry out world evangelization.

※ When you believe, a bartizan is formed.
Because almost no one believes. When you believe, a bartizan is formed. God has called you as spiritual kings. God has called you as kings who save the field. That is the summit. You must believe this.

As I said before, in the past the most difficult thing for me was evangelism. It was difficult because of my personality and my nature. I was someone who could not and did not know how to evangelize at all. The churches had no power. They did not know what they were living for, and our churches were so poor and powerless. One day I realized, “God is the Creator. Then why must we be so poor that we cannot do anything? God is the Almighty. And we have received the right to call that God ‘Father.’ Then why can we not evangelize?” From that time on, I prepared. I became prepared 300%.

※ The filling of the Holy Spirit is 300%
What is the filling of the Holy Spirit? It is preparing 300%. Whatever crisis you face, you must absolutely hold on to this covenant.

2) The power to see the future – Children (prophecy), young people (visions), old people (dreams) (Acts 2:17–18)
And what else does He say? “Your sons and daughters will prophesy.” When you hold this covenant today, “your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” What is that? He grants the power to see the future. This is the function summit. God has first called you as spiritual summits. You must not lose this. Even a young Remnant, although young in age, can be a king spiritually. They must serve their parents, but even in the family they can become kings of prayer. They all received that answer. Then the function summit has no choice but to follow.

3) The word God gave to Joel is now being fulfilled (Acts 2:14–21)
At this time, Peter said this: “We are not drunk on new wine. What you see is what God spoke to the prophet Joel being fulfilled now.” That is right. If you have just these two things, there is nothing to fear.

3. You will be My witnesses – Culture summit (king who overcomes darkness and saves the world)
Finally, what did He say? “You will be My witnesses.” What does that mean? You will be kings who change the world, simply put, kings who overcome darkness. That is the culture summit. He has called you in that way. Today, you must not lose hold of this. It is true that this word seems too great and impossible to bear, but He has called you as kings. Does that feel real to you? God has called you as spiritual kings who can overcome and save the world. That is the spiritual summit.

※ Joseph, who went as the spiritual summit and held the covenant of “world evangelization,” and Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the spirit – When even one person receives the answer, no matter how deep the darkness, they will win.
The seven remnants realized this quickly. Even though Joseph’s brothers were very smart, what they knew had nothing to do with this. That is why they complained, “Why are you treating Joseph so well? We feel offended.” That is the state of ninety-nine percent of church members. Right? “Why are you showing favoritism?” That is how they always lived. The brothers lived that way. Joseph went as the spiritual summit and held on to the covenant of world evangelization. He went out after already having obtained the answer.

Pastors must remember this. Ninety-nine percent are interested in Gilgal, interested in Jericho, and interested in Bethel. Elisha was not like that. “Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” Simply put, “Let me first become the spiritual summit.” Then life is revived. Even if there is thick darkness, if just one of you receives the answer, you will win. You must believe this now.

1) Three thousand disciples (Acts 2:41)
So “You will be My witnesses” means “You will become the culture summit.” What happened? Three thousand disciples arose, even though they tried to stop them.

2) The Word came alive and worked, the preciousness of the church members, the importance of the servants of the Lord and of prayer (Acts 2:42)
And what else? The Word came alive and began to work. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship.” What does that mean? They realized how important the church members are. “To fellowship.” Only those who have truly received salvation can do this. Then they will never speak carelessly about church members. Right? Because they are the people God has called, how can I speak carelessly about them? They laugh at people with spiritual problems. Why do they laugh at them when that person is God’s person? We carelessly condemn others. Those who have received salvation cannot do that. “To fellowship,” it says. “This person is so precious.” Right? A pastor who has truly received salvation regards every church leader, church member, and Remnant as extremely precious. Right? They are people who have received salvation. “They broke bread.” That means they had the Lord’s Supper. “They broke bread.” Those who have truly received salvation know that the important thing is not the pastor himself, but the pastors and the servants of the Lord who preach the Word. That is what it means. “Prayer is important.” “They devoted themselves to prayer.” Today, the kind of prayer that works as a living power must arise among you.

Take these three with you. Truly receive the blessing of being like spiritual kings, become the spiritual summit, and save people. They will live. Become the king of the field, the function summit that saves the field. You must save those who are trapped in darkness. Then become the culture summit. This is what Jesus said.

3) The economy of light – Offerings (Acts 2:43–45)
From that time on, they began to give offerings, and although we did not read the rest of chapter 2, this is the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must remember this. Only those who know how to give offerings with importance can receive the blessing of economy. It is always so.

When I was an assistant pastor, I went around, ate out, and even went on outings. Since I was an assistant pastor with no money, I thought, “Well, I’m an assistant pastor and I don’t have money, so I don’t really need to give many offerings.” One day I realized, “No. My praising God, my prayer to God, and my offerings to God are extremely important.” From the day I realized that, what began to happen? Everywhere our teams went, the blessing of economy began to come. Just from realizing that one thing. In Mark’s upper room in Acts chapter 2 verses 43–45, it says that they gave offerings. Some people even gave all their possessions. That became the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must bear this in mind. It is extremely precious.

4) The power to save the world – Every day in the temple and in their homes (Acts 2:46–47)
Finally, what happens? They gain the power to save the world. “Every day in the temple and every day in their homes.” Today you must firmly hold on to this answer.

▣ Conclusion_ Ambassador of Christ
He said that you will be witnesses. Witnesses of what? Ambassadors of Christ. You testify of that.

1. Because they did not know the value of the gospel, the Jews, Macedonia, and Rome looked down on them, but the testimony arose all the way to Rome (the platform for world evangelization).
The testimony arose all the way to Rome. Everyone looked down on those in Mark’s upper room. The Jews looked down on them. The people of Macedonia looked down on them. Rome looked down on them. They could not help it, because their eyes could not see anything else. Not knowing the value of the gospel, they indiscriminately oppressed them. They killed and oppressed Christians to the point of misery. Ten emperors did that for two hundred fifty years. Why did God allow that? By that, He made all the platforms for world evangelization. No one can stop it. God has called you as spiritual summits so that you can shine the light in a place of darkness. He has called you as kings in the spiritual, functional, and cultural realms.

2. Not knowing that He has called us as a royal priesthood to proclaim the light in the darkness is the greatest sin.
If a king keeps doing shameful things, there is no worse king than that. He has called you as kings. God has called you as kings who save kings. A royal priesthood. Not knowing this is the greatest sin. You must repent of that. Right? If a child constantly doubts the parents and says, “Is that really my father? Maybe that is not my mother,” that child must be sent to a mental hospital. Right? That is a terrible illness. God clearly spoke to you. Because you must proclaim this light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. Right? He has called you as a royal priesthood, a chosen people, a holy nation. Why? Because you must proclaim the light in the darkness. You have never seen true darkness.

Right now, Remnants must be cautious when they go abroad. The recent incidents of that kind are nothing special there. People are being arrested and there is chaos everywhere. It is happening in so many places. How deep is the darkness? The police in those countries do not do anything. They do not. If your children get caught in the wrong place just once, do you know what some people do? They capture kids and lock them up. For what? If someone captured and locked up your child, what would happen? Why do they lock them up? To sell their organs. It is shocking. The church has been made worthless. Europe, America, everywhere. It is darkness. To shine the light there, because He needs only the light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. If you lose hold of this, you have lost everything. You must find it again.

3. Suffering – God’s special timetable (Joseph’s life as a slave, Moses’ years in Midian, Elijah’s fleeing)
What appears to be great suffering was actually God’s special timetable. The time Joseph suffered in Egypt was God’s special time. The forty years Moses waited in Midian with no visible answer was the most important time. The time Elijah fled, exhausted and in hiding, was the most important time.

※ Completion of worship – Hold on to the Word and imprint it through prayer, confirm what you will put into practice, confirm to whom you will relay this Word.
So today, whenever you hold on to the Word, you must imprint the answer you must receive. Then today, as you deeply pray, you must confirm what actual things you must do in order to enjoy this answer. And you must confirm who needs this Word and the answer you received today. When it goes that far, you have completed today’s worship. Just coming to the sanctuary, sitting, killing time, and dozing off before going home — that is something else. In worship, God’s Word must come to you. And you must pray. Imprint. Then even if you forget everything else, it is fine — imprint. You must at least pray briefly. “What actual, realistic answer will I seek out? Then what must I put into practice?” You must confirm that today. “To whom will I relay this Word?”

When I received this grace, one day I really called my friend. He did not believe. Then I remembered. “He and I were so close. We got along with everything, but he does not believe in Jesus.” That was a shocking realization. I had that thought, and then I was startled. I went to Daegu for a conference. It turned out that a very close friend of mine was living in Daegu. Because he did not believe, we had parted ways. An elder came and asked, “Pastor, do you know so-and-so?” I said, “Of course. He was my closest friend.” The elder said, “He is now living there after serving as the labor union leader at a factory in Ulsan. But he is ill right now. When I mentioned you, he said he knew you very well.” So after the Daegu conference ended, on Saturday, I went to visit him. Strangely, the day before that I had been thinking, “To whom shall I relay this gospel?” Our young adults listened to this message and called one of their relatives. When the relative answered the phone, he asked, “Why did you call?” He said that his relative then began to weep over the phone and pour out his story. We are missing some very important lines, important paths.

※ He has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body, soul, thoughts, heart, and brain.
God has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body. Prayer can heal your soul. It is certain. Prayer can heal the most fundamental part — your thoughts, your heart, and your brain. Today, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will absolutely enjoy this blessing. I will pray.

Prayer. God, let us receive a new grace today. Let us enjoy the living work of the Word being fulfilled. Let us receive the true strength that You give so that we can save the world. Our Remnants must study diligently. But grant them the strength to overcome the world. All our church leaders are doing important work. Grant them the strength to save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
