This week’s cell lesson is “True Success.” What is true success?

Faith Life, Work, Evangelism – What Comes from God
There are many things we could say, but it can be seen as our walk of faith and the work and the work we are doing, including our studies and our occupations. My evangelism must be something that comes from God. For something to come from God means that the spiritual principles, my life, and my work must be the same.

True Success () – The 25 Answers
From the Bible, we have found twenty strategies for this. It is not something we just made up; these twenty strategies are what God gave. We receive the 25 answers through this.

▣ Introduction

1. The Key to Evangelism – God’s Presence
So we must think briefly in the introduction. What is the key to evangelism? The key to evangelism is that God is present. God has come upon me, and it is the moment when this presence comes upon the other person.
(The indwelling, guidance, and filling of the Holy Spirit)
At that time, three things take place. The Holy Spirit of the Triune God indwells us, and from that moment He guides us, and from that moment He gives us fullness.

2. Uniqueness
When this takes place and we enjoy this secret, with “only” comes the answer of uniqueness to me. The Early Church received this answer of uniqueness.

3. Satan’s 12 Strategies
Only this answer can destroy the twelve strategies Satan has given.

Where is there a more important true success than this? So people say, “If you make a lot of money, you have succeeded,” and that can be true, but in reality it is not. Of course, if I gain great honor at my workplace, that can be seen as success. If I gain special health, that too can be considered a blessing and a success. But you must remember this clearly. The Bible does not say it like that. The Bible speaks like this: A person who has received God’s blessing must be healthy. If someone who has not received God’s blessing is healthy, it is better for them to be sick. Many people think that having a lot of wealth is a blessing and a success, but the Bible does not say that. God’s will is that the person who has received God’s blessing should have a lot of money. Isn’t that right? The one who has received God’s blessing lives long—that is the blessing. But if someone who has not received blessing lives long, that is difficult. That is why, when they imprison and execute murderers, it is because such a person kills many people and the longer they live, the more painful it becomes for them. So they are executed instead.

So today we must easily settle the conclusion. What is true blessing? It is this (introduction). This is true success. It means that God is present. So you receive a unique answer that the people of the world cannot know. You do not waver at all. You do not need to use expressions like, “How should I succeed?” The answer of uniqueness has already come.

2. Uniqueness (Only – Re-Creation)
This (uniqueness) comes from “only.” And it is the way toward re-creation. Who can block this? This (uniqueness) is the first blessing that all our church leaders must receive. This (uniqueness) is what our remnants must discover as they study. The evangelism that the pastors of our Darakbang are doing cannot be taken away by anyone. Uniqueness. Whatever it may be, if you proclaim the gospel, that is evangelism, and there are many methods of evangelism. However, it must be this (answer of uniqueness (only – re-creation)). Jesus gave this to us and left. That is when the forces of darkness are broken.

▣ Main Message – Witnesses
How did this blessing arise? We just need to go as they did.

1. 1·3·8 – Acts 1:14
They held onto the Mt Olive covenant of Christ, God’s kingdom, and only the Holy Spirit, and they did this (Acts 1:14). They were devoted, they held to “only.” Holding onto this (1·3·8) and doing “only” is described as, “They all joined together constantly in prayer.” This is something you should do at least once, is it not? If you have never done this even once, then in some sense you are a truly bad person. A person who goes to church and has never done this once is a bad person. To be honest, you should be doing this every day. The Early Church did this every day. What does that mean?

1) Mt Calvary – Christ’s “Only”
On Mt Calvary, the “only” of Christ had already been revealed. It is “only.” He won the victory on the cross, just as He promised.

2) Mt Olive – Christ’s Uniqueness
On Mt Olive, He showed the uniqueness of Christ. “Only” and “uniqueness” are the same word.

3) The Mark’s Upper Room – Re-Creation
Finally, in the Mark’s upper room, they experienced this. Experiencing this in the Mark’s upper room was, in fact, re-creation. That is everything. If you only believe this power, there is nothing to fear. In our first service, it says, “Do not fear tribulation.” That means there is tribulation, but you have nothing to fear. “Do not fear suffering.” That means there is suffering, but there is nothing to fear. Why? Because nothing can overcome this power (Main Message 1).

2. Acts 2:1 – The Answer of [Uniqueness]
From this point, the answer came: “When the day of Pentecost came.” The answer of true uniqueness came, in the Mark’s upper room.

1) Meetings – The Five Foundations
Because they received this unique answer, the five unique meetings came. These are the five foundations. The Darakbang meetings—no one can block them. Mission homes. When they meet, it becomes team ministry—no one can block it. It arises in the workplace—specialized ministry. And it arises hidden in the regions—regional churches.
Whether these (five foundations) are established or not depends on this (uniqueness). Knowing the uniqueness of Christ and having it are different. When you have it, things begin to happen. In my case, I did evangelism for thirty or forty years, and I tried to help people the most and value people the most. But I do not listen to what they say. The reason is that I do not hear it. Because I have this (uniqueness). Because I possess this, when I see things through it, much of what people say is unnecessary. So do not be shaken and truly receive answers.

2) Camps – The Five Trainings
Then surely the camps of uniqueness will arise. These are the trainings. “Training” is not a word we made up; it means “He called them to be with Him.” Jesus did not merely teach skills. It says, “He called them that they might be with Him.”

3) Systems – The Five Fields
From that point, the systems of uniqueness arise. What are these? The theological institute, the evangelism school, and such systems begin to appear. What appears first? The evangelism school. Because we must evangelize. Then we need to teach a bit more, right? So we have theological training institutes and such. And to teach bigger and higher things, we have missionary training centers. In this way, five systems arise completely in the five fields.

4) The Future – Remnants
And what else? It is the unique future. That is why the five futures came. Among them, the greatest word was “remnant.”

These are the twenty strategies. The one who has received this blessing is the successful person. So when we run a company, we struggle and advertise and do all these things. We must do that. But this (uniqueness) is something for which we do not need to do that. Is it possible? Can there be such a possibility? The three organizations have taken it all. That means it is possible. It is not that it is impossible because I cannot do it. The three organizations are doing it. They do not advertise anything, yet they take everything away. Now, through the remnants, we must take it back. How?

3. Result – The Guideposts
These are the guideposts that let us know the result. When they received answers in the Mark’s upper room, amazing guideposts came from 1·3·8.

1) Acts 13:1–4
This is a guidepost. It is evangelism and missions completely led by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:6–10
It is the guidepost that completely finds the turning point of life.
Acts 19:1–7 – Tyrannus – Rome
It is the guidepost that leads from Tyrannus to Rome. Is that not clear enough? And what happened?

2) Healing (Acts 13, 16, 19)
Tremendous things happened. Healing. No one can block it. When you go and proclaim the gospel, the sick will be healed. If they hear the Christ you proclaim and the Word, they will be healed. On the way along this guidepost, healing is something that cannot be left out.

3) The Synagogue – Rome
On the way along this guidepost, something came out that you must never miss—the synagogue. Right? From that synagogue, you go to Rome and raise workers for world evangelization.
It looks complicated, but it is not complicated at all. People who never look at God’s Word say, “Why are there so many terms?” But it is not a lot. If you hold onto the answer of Christ’s uniqueness, these things follow.

[Salvation]
This (the indwelling, guidance, and filling of the Holy Spirit) truly means that you are saved. A person who is truly saved needs nothing else. Examine yourself just once. On the way here, I spoke with Pastor Kim Chang-Hyeok about this. Ideological conflicts never end. If it is the true gospel, they disappear. If it is the true gospel, I do not need my own thoughts. Right? If God is with me, why do I need my thoughts? I have no power to move heaven and earth—why am I necessary? If it is the true gospel, you realize your sin and can escape it. Right? If it is the true gospel, you do not condemn the one who sinned. Right? You help them realize and return. Which is the true gospel? If it is the true gospel, it is finished. Salvation. And surely this (uniqueness) answer comes to your church and to you personally. Why is this complicated? These are not words I made up. This true gospel and uniqueness—Jesus explained them and left. “Only.” That is uniqueness. That is when the forces of darkness collapse.

Witnesses
“You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” We are witnesses.

▣ Conclusion
Let me conclude.

1. Evangelism
There is no greater blessing than your studies, your work, and your occupation being used for evangelism and missions. Is that not so?

2. Christ
There is nothing greater than if your studies, your work, and your occupation reveal Christ.

3. Remnants, Hebrews 11, the Early Church
In other words, the seven remnants, the people of Hebrews chapter 11, and the Early Church were all like this. Through Joseph, God was testified. There is no greater success for you than this. Through you, Christ is revealed. There is no greater success than this. So the things that no one had been able to do until then took place in the Early Church. That is why we say we must restore that covenant. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. In this week, let us find what we absolutely must find. Bless us so that we do not become people who hold onto what is wrong and suffer our whole lives. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7

---

If we mention one strength of the Jewish people, it is that they strictly keep the Sabbath starting from Friday night. They do not allow anything else at all. That means, of course, that they concentrate. And because of that, the Jews in fact have taken over the world. Putting aside the bad things and speaking only of the good, that is what it means.

The Three-Day Weekend Age
So you must open the three-day weekend age. On Friday, you need to have a schedule for prayer and for taking care of your health. As you grow older, you must hold onto proper prayer and take care of your health. And on Saturday, things need to proceed centered on our remnants. The remnants should give presentations, see things, hear things; you must help them do this. Today’s lecture is for doing this (the three-day weekend age). On Sunday, you must go completely centered on worship. If you begin spending your weekends like this, tremendous works will arise. And on Saturdays like this, we sometimes go out to have fun. You can come have fun at church. And your family gatherings—those can also be held at church on Saturday. In that way, I am saying that you should equip the church with a system. “Let’s have our family gathering at church.” You must reach that level. So Saturday must become a day for such gatherings and conversations.

The reason for doing this is that we must have true ability. We must equip true ability, and that is why this must be done. Especially when speaking of remnants, it is the seven talents. This must communicate with the throne. That is the twenty-five answers. By just looking at the words, you can understand.

▣ Introduction – [Genius]
So the Jews succeeded in seven particularly important things.

1. RT – [Talent] + [Expertise] + [Field-ness]
   So now, what you must understand a little is that for the remnants, the most important thing is discovering their talent. When they fail to discover this properly, they grow older and suffer. Some even graduate from university but do not know what they should do; if it becomes like this, it becomes difficult. As you know, what is called genius is something that comes down from heaven. Isn’t that so? But because they do not know prayer, they cannot properly discover this (talent). As you know, it is difficult to reach a certain level, so they say Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University are SKY. Last year, at those three universities, 2,000 students dropped out. It is hard to get in, and people think just getting in is a blessing, but they dropped out—that is not just a few hundred, but 2,000. That means, “There is no meaning in studying here.” They failed to see this (talent) properly. So you must absolutely open the three-day weekend age, teach remnants prayer, and help them find their talent. When you teach this talent, what follows from it is expertise. And then you help them understand the field properly. That is why Jews have synagogues. So it is a situation in which the Jews cannot help but conquer the world. Even among the three organizations, the core members who move things are Jews.
2. Church Leaders (Work) – Only, Uniqueness, Re-Creation
   Now, the church leaders in the three-day weekend age—what is most in front of you is your work. Or your workplace, the place close to you. You must pray and make it into this (only, uniqueness, re-creation). This is possible only through prayer. Doing something others cannot do does not happen by itself. You must absolutely do this.
3. New Family – Past (Platform), Today (Camp), Future (New Masterpiece)
   At this time, it becomes a chance. This is when you bring new family. New family members must be given three things. You cannot leave their past alone. You must make their past become a platform inside the gospel. This is what new family members need most. You have lived the life of faith for a long time, but new family members have just come for the first time, so they have many things with them. They have many scars, too. So their “today” is the camp of enjoying the blessing of the throne. Because without this light, it cannot work. And you must allow these new family members to make a completely new masterpiece of their life. That is the future. You must do this during the three-day weekend age.

▣ Main Message

1. Talent
   Now, let us take a look at the parts where talents were discovered.

1)Reading – The Word
The Jews take responsibility to read three books: the Shema, the Torah, and the Talmud. Every Jew must read these books. They may not read the Bible, but they must read those. Many things come from there. For us, even if we do not go that far, there are books that are necessary for remnants to read. But realistically, there is no time. So if three people gather and divide up one book each and do a forum, they will have gone through three books. That develops the remnants’ presentation skills and helps in various ways. And from here, the Word must be found. That is when it becomes imprinted. “Ah, the world is like this, but the Word says this.” The answer must come.

2)Figures – Christ (RT)
The Jews speak about at least one great person every day. They must study figures. But as we do this, we must find the words “Christ” and “remnant.” Strictly speaking, you are the remnants. The remaining ones. So remnants are not only children. The remaining ones who have the gospel—remnants.

3)The Three Feasts – 1·3·8
And the Jews kept the three feasts very well. They kept them so well that during the feasts, the family always did them together. For example, when making the Feast of Booths, the family builds the booth together. But in doing this, their weakness was that they lost the meaning. We also lose important things when we work a lot. So we must help them find the meaning. That is 1·3·8—Christ, God’s kingdom, only the Holy Spirit. These are the three feasts. Because Christ completed them, you must give this answer clearly. Remnants only need to understand once for it to last a lifetime.

4)Worship – Prayer
Why did the Jews stake their lives on keeping the Sabbath like that? Worship and prayer. Our remnants, and also you yourselves, must know what worship is and what prayer is.

5) Only – Talent
From this point, three things come out. From here, the “only” that you possess appears. You must have this (only) to help others. The outward form may differ, but the content is the same. This is discovering your talent. You must discover “only” to have a talent; just having what everyone else has is not a talent.

6) Uniqueness – Expertise
From here, uniqueness comes. This is expertise.

7) Re-Creation – Field-ness
Then you survive anywhere you go. Re-creation. This is called field-ness.

In one sense, this (only – talent) is called the coming-of-age ceremony. This (uniqueness – commissioning) is called the mission ceremony. And because they have seen the field, this (re-creation – field-ness) is called the sending-out ceremony. You must do these three things. You yourselves must do this. It is not that you do not need it but remnants do. Because remnants absolutely need it, you also must receive this blessing. Even if you sell bean sprouts in the market, you must have this answer. Isn’t that so? But most people do not do this. Even if you sell bean sprouts, you must do it with “only.” Then customers know. “Ah, that place is different.” They know. Even if you run a restaurant, customers know. The one who eats the food says, “Ah, this place is different.” If that becomes established, it works.

2. Spiritual Summit
   Now, when this happens, the Jews became summits without the gospel, and they suffered like that. You must make this (spiritual summit) first. Before succeeding as a summit, you must first succeed spiritually. So what is in the front part of the curriculum is an edited form of my messages. The characteristic of my messages is that the answers continue to develop. For example, before entering Yeongdo, when I was doing evangelism, I found the five states of the unbeliever. So the books left it exactly as recorded. But after entering Yeongdo and doing evangelism in earnest, I discovered the six states.

1)The Seven Bartizans
So now we can teach it like this: the bartizan Jesus gave—the seven bartizans.

2)The Seven Journeys
With this, you go on the journey.

3)The Three Guideposts
And the guideposts in Acts chapter 13, chapter 16, and chapter 19 are always there. They are exactly God’s Word. You must know this to become a summit.

So what is written on the board today is what you must absolutely teach your children. Schools cannot teach this, so the church must. It is not that schools lack ability or are bad; they simply cannot teach this. If the church does not teach this, our remnants can never learn it. That is how important this is.

3. Discovery
   And now, you begin discovering what is important.

1)Me
You discover something completely different from before. What is it? You discover the “me” that God created. Before, you simply tried to find yourself. That is the same as unbelievers. When you simply try to find yourself, nothing is more wrong. Why do people commit suicide? Because they have found themselves. They found themselves and realized there is no hope. So they commit suicide. But when you find the “me” God created, the opposite happens. That is why the word “remnant” is an interesting word. In English, it has two meanings: the remaining one, and the discarded one. It is used both ways. Isn’t that interesting? You may look like someone who is thrown away, but you are the remaining one. So the discovery becomes completely different.

2)My Things

3)My Field
And before, you said, “This is mine,” but now you see “my things” that God has given and “my field” that God has given.

This (entire message) is the curriculum you must do this week, but you must hold it for your entire life. If you pray even a little and use your head even a little, you can apply this endlessly. And because remnants receive answers, they carry evidence and can do things even more greatly.

▣ Conclusion

So what conclusion comes out?

1. Multiethnic (Room)
   What you must especially not lose hold of is multiethnic ministry. Doing multiethnic ministry in a vague way, no matter how much you do, is useless. When you build the sanctuary later, there must be a place where a multiethnic person can leave their bag, and leave their shoes. That must be “their house.” It is completely different from carrying your luggage around and sleeping in a hotel versus sleeping at home. And right now, this (multiethnic) part is not happening. For example, if you go to the United States, churches say they are doing world evangelization, but when you look at Korean churches in America, there are no Americans. No multiethnic people at all. If they were doing things normally, then 90 percent of the elders would be multiethnic. Isn’t that correct? Numerically it is so. If it were not America but Korea, that would be fine—but it is America. Why is that? Multiethnic people have no place where they can come and enjoy. In English, that is “room.” Room means a room, but it also means “space” or “margin.” It means the space where I stay. And that (room) does not exist. You must remember this. This is not simply about having a building. When foreigners go to a gathering, there are American husbands married to Korean women. They follow their wives to church. But the way they sit and act looks so awkward. Because they are just following their wives. How long will they endure that? But if among the elders or session members, there is an American, then they join quickly. And among the pastors as well, there must be such people.

Open your eyes a little in Ulsan, and if you build a system to save Ulsan, it will come alive.

TCK
Among the multiethnic, especially TCK. You must pay attention here. This is also the answer. As you know, TCK means a child in a third-culture environment. For example, what does that mean? Joseph and all seven remnants were like that. They were Hebrews, but where were they living? In Egypt. That is what it means. So in some ways, it does not match Egypt and is difficult. That is the key. You must remember this.

2. Healing (Enjoyment)
   Next, people must come comfortably and receive healing. You must be able to receive this strength. Open the three-day weekend age, and the healing part is something anyone can really do. If healing were one word, then for multiethnic ministry, the word “room” is very important. For healing, you must allow the person to come and enjoy on their own. Does someone get healed instantly because someone comes to them? Of course not. When someone with cancer comes, I give them an answer. Someone had cancer and did certain things, but then treatment must follow. It was too difficult, so they did not want to do it. But the family wanted them to do it because they were worried. So the family came to me and asked. “Let’s do as the pastor says,” they said. So I gave them one month. “Pray like this, breathe like this. Then go to the hospital and get checked. If it has improved, then maybe you don’t need to do the treatment. But if it has not improved, then you must accept what the doctors say.” And that person understood. So they began praying. They began healing themselves. Tremendous effects followed. That is what it means. When the sick come, they must gain strength, receive the Word, and gain the strength of prayer. That is the key.
3. RT (Summit)
   And now, as I said before—it is repetitive but true—the remnants must be able to find themselves, but the most important thing is that remnants must be made into summits. People all over the nation and world are listening to this message. This (entire message) part is extremely important. Prepare in Ulsan. Then, when God sees it, it will become the greatest church. Isn’t that so? It must be the greatest in God’s sight. If it is great in human sight, it can collapse at any time. Isn’t that true? The invisible Creator God, the God who rules all things and life—when He sees Immanuel Ulsan Church as the greatest church, that is what matters.

Today was important, so the time went a bit long. Hold onto this covenant and continue deep prayer. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. We thank You for establishing this church to save the region. Now, may we save this region with God’s method that surpasses human methods and human abilities. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7

---

Philippians 4:6–7
In Philippians chapter 4, verses 6 and 7, it does not simply say, “Do not worry,” but, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Even though there are things to worry about, He says, “Do not be anxious about anything.” “But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” It does not say to just pray; it says that even though you have worries, present them with thanksgiving. Then what kind of answer comes? “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

This is true happiness. “The peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds.” The part we must pay a bit of attention to here is that we tend to use “receiving answers” as our standard. Of course, because God’s main work is to give answers, it is not wrong that we feel that way. But if you think about the situation at that time and look at the Philippian church, this is not a light statement. This is a letter Paul sent to the Philippian church from prison. It was an incredible timetable. Being in prison was not the problem; for Paul, this was the greatest timetable of world evangelization. That is what is important. “Do not be anxious about anything.” And then, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” The 25 answers begin to take place, don’t they?

▣ Introduction – The happiness of prayer that enjoys the gospel
Here, the most important part for you is prayer that enjoys the gospel. It is not just prayer in general. You must be happy with prayer that enjoys the gospel. What makes a person happy actually determines that person. People of other religions all pray. So not that kind of prayer, but prayer that enjoys the gospel. There are even strange people who pray in order to enjoy their own peculiar personality. That is not necessarily evil, but we must pray to enjoy the gospel. When this takes place, something truly amazing begins to happen. What do we mean? After Jesus resolved every problem on Mt Calvary, He gathered the disciples on Mt Olive and gave them an important word. He gave them an amazing mission by which they could carry out world evangelization.

[7 bartizans]
From there, I discovered the 7 bartizans. They are always inside my prayer. In them, the content of the Triune God is all contained. Because there, for 40 days, He explained about the things concerning the kingdom of God, the blessing of the throne is all there. Right? There, the past, present, and future are all included. It is tremendous. There, what true power is, is revealed. There is also not just anything, but the mystery that breaks the authority of darkness. Inside that, an amazing future is contained, isn’t it?

[7 journeys]
And within that, because it is a bartizan, the journeys come out. How important this part is. You must be so happy to enjoy these 7 bartizans and 7 journeys. If this does not exist, there is no need to even ask: your walk of faith will be difficult, pastoral ministry will be difficult, everything will be difficult.

[13, 16, 19]
There was someone who properly understood these words, and that person was Paul. You must never lose hold of this. In Acts 13, he set out as the first missionary. Right? In chapter 13, verses 1–4, we see the timetable when he perfectly received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is important. Of course, we can hold tracts in our hands and evangelize on the street. That in itself is not the standard. We can evangelize as we walk along the road. That is not the standard. It is something we can do. But Paul’s team perfectly received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is the first guidepost. In chapter 16, they went to Macedonia. They thought the doors were closed, but it was “to Macedonia.” In chapter 19, it was “to Rome.” Clear guideposts appeared.

So you must always remember these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts. Because they are the words Jesus Himself gave. In the first service as well, we will look at today’s passage on the premise of these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts. If you do not take the gospel as the premise or do not take Christ as the premise, then it is no different from other religions. These 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts must become the blessing of your personal prayer enjoyment. In a sense, this should become your family motto. In another sense, it should become the mission statement of your company. The people of the early church who conquered the world did so.

[40 days]
I have explained these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts as I enjoy them in prayer, but in reality, these are the very things Jesus Himself spoke for 40 days. While the earlier Scriptures are also important, these are the messages Jesus gave last, after everything had been fulfilled. This is the prayer by which you must be happy; if you gain strength through this prayer, everything else follows.

▣ Main
Then, when you enjoy this kind of prayer, about five things will appear today. What will appear?

1. Thanksgiving
From that point on, thanksgiving begins to come. It has no choice but to come—because you know. You cannot truly give thanks when you do not know. That is why Paul said, “Present your requests with thanksgiving.” You have worries, but present them with thanksgiving—this is on another level. When Daniel knelt and prayed three times a day, he did not just pray; the Bible says he prayed giving thanks.

1) Scars
At this time, your scars are healed. Almost everyone carries scars, don’t they? When genuine thanksgiving comes out, those scars are healed.

2) Healing
Then many healings take place. Thanksgiving is when the greatest healing happens—when you give thanks from your heart. One characteristic of those who begin to have mental problems is that they do not have thanksgiving. They have no thanksgiving. And they constantly fall into disbelief about everything. It becomes like that. “Everyone else is wrong; only I am right.” That is when it becomes a serious problem. “Everyone else is wrong. Everything is wrong.” It becomes this way. When true healing takes place, all that aside, thanksgiving comes.

3) Darkness broken
At that time, not only does health come, but the forces of darkness are completely broken. Satan completely knelt down in front of Job.

2. The Word
And when you truly enjoy this prayer of the introduction, from that point on something begins to come alive. It was always alive, but it had nothing to do with you; now, the second point, the Word, begins to become connected to you. The Word comes alive.

1) The world
Before, all our imprinting was by the things of this world. So God’s Word and I did not match at all. Not one part matched. We did not even know what the Word meant. It did not become believable. In the past, before I understood the gospel and before I knew prayer, the book of Acts was the hardest book for me to read. What is all this talk about houses and roads? But once I understood evangelism movement and the Word, it became a complete answer. So I simply evangelized according to what appears in the book of Acts. Then, the evangelists who understood those words could not help but rise all over the world. I did not do it; God could not help but raise them.

2) Pulpit
This Word is something you must definitely receive from the pulpit. All believers have a pulpit, don’t they? For the believers, listening to the pastor’s sermon is not just listening to the pastor; it is listening to the Word of God. For the pastors who prepare sermons, they themselves must not merely think, “I prepared a sermon,” but they must listen for the Word of God.

3) Flow
Then, because this Word is living and active, the flow definitely becomes visible.

3. Concentration
When this happens, it does not simply end there. A concentration toward God arises. This is prayer. Because you know and enjoy the blessings of the introduction, thanksgiving comes; the Word comes alive and works; and then concentration toward God begins to arise. The power of this is tremendous. You must remember this.

1) Division, obsession, addiction
If you do not understand the word “concentration” correctly, its opposite is division. Your thoughts, heart, and mind are divided. Or a wrong kind of concentration becomes obsession. The word “concentration” is very important. If not, it becomes division, or obsession, or addiction. In fact, among our future generations, there will be many patients with these three problems—division, obsession, and addiction. Concentration is a very important word.

2) Summit
Because concentration toward God revives our soul and revives our brain, it inevitably leads us into the blessing of the spiritual summit. You must remember this. Our future generations must become spiritual summits before they become summits in the world. If they do not know spiritual summit and do not know what prayer is, then from the moment they pass the bar exam, they begin to wander. It becomes difficult. They must first become spiritual summits. From the moment they become doctors, they begin to suffer countless hardships. They must first become spiritual summits. From the moment they become public servants, it becomes difficult from that point on. Where do they concentrate? This prayer holds a tremendous mystery.

3) Platform, watchman bartizan, antenna
At this time, God’s important work of art begins to appear. Simply put, you become a platform. Right? You must become a spiritual platform so that people can come. The church must do evangelism diligently, but the greatest evangelism is this: if you become a platform, people will come. Right? Likewise, if your business, your shop, becomes a platform, even without much advertising, people come. In Japan, I saw a restaurant that had been operating for 500 years. It was astonishing. The owner was wearing a name tag: “16th Owner, So-and-So.” It was amazing. It was just a restaurant, but people had no choice but to come. I am most worried about this: I don’t know if it’s still like this, but in Songdo, when you drive by, they wave at you so vigorously that you almost bump into them with your car, trying to get you to come in. Do we really have to do that? Korea is almost all like that, because they are so diligent. If you become a platform, a watchman bartizan that can save many people is set up there. If you have the power of concentration toward God, you become a spiritual antenna.

4. Healing

1) Myself
2) The church
3) The world

From this point on, the healing of your heart and of yourself takes place, and then healing in the church and in the world takes place. So everything is included. Within the true happiness of prayer that enjoys the gospel, tremendous content is contained.

5. Future
Even if you simply remain still, the future becomes visible within this prayer. This blessing will surely be upon you.

1) Communication
Before, the Word of God did not match with me at all, but now the Word of God begins to communicate with me. I begin to be led by the Word. Before, I lived entirely centered on myself. Before, I only knew myself and my things.

2) Myself, my things, my field
But one day, it changes to “me, whom God created.” It changes like this. Then it changes to “the things God has given me,” and “the field to which God has sent me.” It changes like this.

3) Position of the summit
So while you are just staying where you are, you will find yourself seated in the position of the summit. When Joseph stood in the position of the summit, even the king had to follow. This is the important future.

Do not think that I am just talking about something. Right? You must actually become people who receive these answers before God. Isn’t that true? You must check how you are praying right now. You must check whether prayer is truly a source of happiness and strength for you. If you simply ask, God is bound to give you answers. You must do this. Most of the time, even when we just listen to people talk, we can tell. We can sense, “Ah, this person prays a lot,” right? When we talk with someone, we can sense, “Ah, this person absolutely does not pray.” Of course, not everything is done by feeling, but people decide many things based on feeling. Aren’t you like that too? Even if a person is very great, if you sense, “Ah, this person absolutely does not pray,” you cannot really believe what that person says. If you sense, “Ah, this person truly prays,” then it is different. Those who truly do not know prayer continually receive a different kind of guidance. How heartbreaking that is. You must absolutely restore the blessing Christ has given you.

No obsession over position
If you truly restore and enjoy this, you do not even need to worry about your position.

No issue of pride
And if you truly enjoy this blessing, even if someone looks down on you, it has nothing to do with your pride. The very fact that you feel, “I must defend my pride,” shows that you are weak right now. Right? If you say to a homeless person, “You bum,” he gets very offended. Why? Because he knows he is a beggar. Right? He gets angry: “Yes, I’m a beggar—are you going to feed me, then?” and snaps back. But if you say, “You beggar,” to a chaebol (wealthy magnate), he will just laugh. Because he is not a beggar. Already, the fact that you are so sensitive about your pride shows that you have lost hold of something. You become bound here, in your pride. Someone like Joseph was the same either way. He was the same when he was the prime minister and the same when he went as a slave. What was the same? His enjoyment of God’s blessing was the same. This is very important.

As you worship today, this must truly be a day of receiving grace. Start again. If you say, “I am having such a hard time right now,” that is a simple sign. It means, “Start again accurately.” What will He give first? This strength of the introduction. This is not my word; it is what Christ Himself explained for 40 days. Would Christ, who resolved every problem on the cross, have spoken nonsense and then left? Even when people speak, if they speak earnestly, we listen carefully. Right? Even if a person is somewhat lacking, if they keep speaking earnestly, we end up listening. The King of kings, Christ, explained this intensively for 40 days. For us to ignore this so much is wrong. Right? Answers themselves are not the problem. With this blessing, you must carry your work, your personal life, and world evangelization.

▣ Conclusion – Revelation 8:3–5
In Revelation 8:3–5, all your prayers are said to rise up before God. They do not just rise up; the Bible says they are all contained in a bowl. John saw this in a vision and realized, “Ah, so that is how it is.” And he was shown how the angels of the Lord carry out all of God’s errands. Even today, if there is a greatest answer for you, it is that you are praying. Right? If you are to enjoy the greatest plan of this Lord’s Day, it is that you restore proper prayer before God. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be such a day of God.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, let us restore the covenant that Christ has given us. Let us begin with that covenant. Let us build a firm bartizan of God. Let us go on our journey by the power of God. Let the guideposts of God be fulfilled in our lives. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
