The Foundation of Obedience

John 14:21. Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I, too, will love them and show myself to them.


Love is the deepest motivation for obedience. True obedience does not grow out of fear, pressure, or mere duty. It flows from love. And the foundation of that love is our faith in the One who first loved us and gave His life for us. When we truly believe in the love of Jesus Christ—the One who died and rose again for us—obedience becomes the natural response of our hearts.

Our obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ leads to the greatest blessing a person can experience. Jesus Himself promised, “The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.” When we walk in loving obedience, the presence of the Triune God becomes a living reality in our lives.

When you are loved by the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, you lack nothing. No circumstance can intimidate you. No possession or success of others will cause envy within you. No pressure from the world will force you to compromise your faith. The assurance of God’s love gives you unshakable confidence and deep peace.

The irresistible love of God covers every weakness we carry—our scars, our guilt, and our shame. Because of His love, we do not have to live under condemnation or discouragement. Even in difficult circumstances, we do not lose heart. Instead, we rise with courage and hope. We live not as victims of our situation but as victors through Christ. When God is for us, nothing can ultimately stand against us.

God also fulfills His promise to empower those who follow Him. He fills us with the power of His Spirit and sends us to the ends of the earth so that we may bear witness to Christ and save lives through the power of the gospel. The Holy Spirit equips us to become His witnesses wherever we are (Acts 1:8).

Yet without faith, obedience is impossible. Obedience becomes possible only when we firmly believe that God is our good and loving Father—One who always prepares what is best for His children. When we trust His heart, we can follow His voice even when we do not fully understand His plans.

Consider Abraham. When God commanded him to sacrifice his son Isaac, Abraham did not question God or argue with Him. Instead, he obeyed (Genesis 22:1-15). The book of Hebrews explains Abraham’s faith by saying that he reasoned God could even raise the dead (Hebrews 11:19). Abraham trusted God so completely that he believed God’s promise would stand even if the impossible had to happen.

On that mountain, Abraham and his son encountered a profound revelation of God’s heart. God provided a ram as a substitute sacrifice. In that moment, Abraham witnessed a glimpse of the ultimate sacrifice God had prepared for the salvation of the world—His one and only Son, Jesus Christ (Genesis 22:13).

Because of Abraham’s obedience, God gave this promise: “Through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me” (Genesis 22:18). Abraham’s faith and obedience became part of God’s redemptive plan for all nations.

Like Abraham, we too are invited to experience the blessing that comes from obedience. The more we understand the greatness of our Father’s love—how wide, how long, how high, and how deep it is—the more naturally obedience will follow (Ephesians 3:18). When we grasp the depth of His love, we will want to follow Him with our whole hearts.

God has also called each of us with a future in mind. Scripture reminds us that God’s plans are plans for hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11). Our present circumstances, no matter how difficult or uncertain, are nothing compared to the glory that will one day be revealed to us (Romans 8:18). Knowing this gives us the strength to endure, to hope, and to obey.

When God first called Abraham, He told him to leave his country, his people, and his father’s household and go to a land that God would show him. This could not have been an easy decision. Abraham had to step away from everything familiar and secure. Yet he left just as God commanded, believing in the future God had promised:

I will make you into a great nation,and I will bless you;I will make your name great,and you will be a blessing.I will bless those who bless you,and whoever curses you I will curse;and all peoples on earthwill be blessed through you.” (Gen 12:2-3)

Scripture explains Abraham’s response to God’s command in this way: “By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going” (Hebrews 11:8). Abraham did not wait until every detail was clear. He did not demand a map, a timeline, or an explanation. He simply trusted the One who called him. His obedience was not based on certainty about the destination but on confidence in the character of God.

Very often, we struggle in this area. We want to know everything before we take a step of obedience. We want clarity, security, and guarantees. We carefully evaluate whether obedience will lead to something comfortable, successful, or desirable according to our own standards. If the outcome seems uncertain or difficult, we hesitate. In doing so, we forget a crucial truth: the One who calls us is faithful. God never fails to keep His promises. As Scripture reminds us, “The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:24).

Because of this, we must learn to set aside our own limited standards for what we consider a blessing. What looks like loss today may actually be the doorway to God’s greater purpose tomorrow. What seems small or difficult now may become the very place where God’s greatest work in our lives begins. Our present reality does not define our future. God does.

Do not be deceived by what you see around you or by the limitations you feel today. God has already prepared a future for you. His plans are always greater than what we can see or imagine in the present moment. And through your life, He intends to accomplish something far beyond your personal success—He desires to make you a blessing to many people, even to all nations.

Therefore, when God speaks, do not delay. Do not overanalyze. Do not allow fear or uncertainty to hold you back. Trust His heart, believe His promises, and take the step of faith before you.

When God speaks, simply obey.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for preparing something far greater than I can think or imagine. You are a Good Father who prepared a future for me. Send me to a place where Christ is not known. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Eyes to See Today

Prayer Journal: March 5, 2026
24. May 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Gen 37:1-11


Today is especially a service for our Youth Missions Bureau. For the Remnants of our Youth Missions Bureau, the most important thing is the eyes to see today. Because this is the easiest thing to miss. Also, because it is a time when your answers are not yet complete, a lot of the future remains. However, it is easiest to be deceived right here. Therefore, first, when trying to see today, you must first confirm what is happening right now. This is extremely important.

[ Now ]
The question is what is happening right now. Only then will you see today, right?

[ Accurate Covenant ]
The most important thing is today, and also tomorrow, when you grasp the accurate covenant. This is the most important. You must not grasp the covenant incorrectly. You must not go down a wrong path. So, grasping the accurate covenant is the most important. Then, what happens when you grasp the accurate covenant? At that time, a few things happen.

[ Trinity – 7·7·7 ]
Surely, the Triune God who is with you is fulfilling this (7·7·7).

[ Throne, Kingdom, Affairs ]
If we summarize among these, the blessing of this Throne is completely descending. Right now at this time. And God’s Kingdom is surely being achieved. And then, the affairs of that Kingdom of God are being achieved right now.

[ Darkness ┃ Messenger, Angel, Heavenly Host ]
Two special things come from here. The moment you grasp the accurate covenant, the moment you pray, you do not have to worry at all. Darkness is collapsing. Because most people have more unbelief, they do not know what is happening.
At this time, the Lord’s messenger, angel, heavenly host—these things are not God. They are errand-runners [servants].
These two things occur in contrast. While darkness is broken, these works begin to happen. Right now during the time of worship.

▣ Introduction_ Accurate Covenant

Then, for our Remnants, it is an important life, isn’t it? Then the question is what the accurate covenant is for us. There is something to know first.

1. Three Things – Answer
The today of a Remnant is changing three things. This is the accurate covenant.

1) Past (Platform)
Changing three things, but [it means] do not be caught by the past. However, most youth, youth who do not know the Gospel, are caught here. Our Remnants must surely realize. The past is making it into a complete platform.
Now, you must find these three answers first.
The past is entirely a platform for enjoying answers. If not, it becomes a stumbling block. Even adults, there are many people caught by the past. Also, some people—being captured by the past is fine—are caught by scars. There are many. If you do not understand now, it won’t do. That continually comes as a spiritual problem. Later, it completely drags you into darkness, so you must not be deceived by that.
The past is a complete platform. Right now even adults, because adults have aged, they must make a complete resolution. Remnants must know that and make preparations.
2) Reality (Process)
From here, reality emerges. This reality becomes entirely a process that blesses us. You must never miss this. So, the answer must come out exactly like this. In a word.
3) Future (Survivor, Remaining One, One Who Will Stay, One Who Will Leave)
And for you, the accurate answer regarding the future must come out, right? Therefore, the most important answer regarding the future is Remnant.
You are Remnants, the Survivor [the one who remained]. In the future you develop strength, the Remaining One [the one who stays]. You conquer culture, the One Who Will Stay [the one who will stay]. In the future you raise disciples, the One Who Will Leave [the one who will leave behind].
Because this is your future, the moment you grasp this covenant, these (Trinity, Throne, No Darkness, Heavenly Hosts/Angels) works happen. It is absolute. Pastors must grasp this covenant and prepare sermons; our church officers must grasp this covenant and firmly grasp that blessing of the church officers that is truly in the Bible.

2. Summit Preparation
Today, right now, what time is it? For a Remnant, as for what time it is right now, it is the time of preparing for the Summit. God will work upon you.

1) Spiritual Summit, Skill Summit, Culture Summit
We become the Spiritual Summit first. So David did not say, “You angels who fulfill God’s word,” but he spoke this way: “You angels who are mighty in strength and fulfill God’s word.” He said, “Bless Jehovah.”
As time passes, your studies revive. You become a Skill Summit.
Later, you completely become a Culture Summit. You are preparing this.
2) 300%
So, what do Remnants prepare now? They prepare 300%. They prepare this. Therefore, if only this preparation is done, because you do world evangelization, you prepare 300% in advance through prayer. You must never miss it.
3) Must
I mean, how do you prepare 300%? It is not difficult. Right now, because it is today. What is the thing that is must [necessarily] needed for me right now? You just need to see this. What is the thing that is absolutely needed for me right now?
Also, you meet the field. What is the thing that is must needed here? It’s okay if you can’t do it.
What is the thing that is must needed in the future? Then 300% comes out. It’s not difficult, is it?
Now, think using the 7 Remnants. What was the thing most needed for David right now? For himself. Therefore, while being a shepherd, he entered into deep prayer. Anyone could do it, but other people did not do it. And what is it? When meeting Goliath, what is the thing that is truly needed? It’s not difficult, is it? You are preparing this.

3. Goal (1 Samuel 3:1-19)
There is always a goal. It is a story told always, but Remnants do not need anything.

1) WIOS
Because you have the system of With, Immanuel, Oneness. You must always remember. This is called a Platform.
2) OURS
There is the system of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation. This is a Watchtower.
3) Throne
Remnants are enjoying this blessing of the Throne and are waiting for the Kingdom of God and the affairs of the Kingdom of God. This is the goal. It cannot not work.
I have no more need. Everything has already come. Isn’t it so? There is no need to be greedy. Everything has come, so what.
Therefore, you Remnants do not need to be caught by anxiety and such. Continuously, until now, worldly things, fakes have been continually heard and are imprinted in you. So, people worrying or doing like that—what is it? Almost all of it comes from unbelief. Do not worry. You just need to realize things done wrong and fix them. You just need to grasp God’s covenant. Right?
“Ah, what did I do in the past…” That is the past. “What is our family like…” It has no relation. That is a platform. Sometimes there are times when you are sick. “The time schedule has come to experience God’s power!” You just need to see it like that. You must grasp the covenant accurately. “I am okay even if it is difficult. However, when evidence comes, I will be a witness.” People who grasped the covenant accurately came out [saying] like this: “We are okay even if we die.” “Jehovah will rescue us, and even if He does not rescue us, it is okay.” Remnants must grasp this kind of covenant firmly. All 7 Remnants were like that, weren’t they? Even when going to prison, Joseph did not speak. This is grasping the covenant accurately.
Remnants must not grasp other things. Answers must come out for everything in your lineage and surroundings. At this time, spiritual healing regarding spiritual problems begins to occur. If you leave this alone, later it becomes a scar and for some people, a disease comes. A disease coming to the body is okay, but a spiritual disease, a mental disease comes. Because of this, nothing works. For some people, that scar remains and the home is broken and everything is broken. There are many.
Why would a student shoot several people at school and die himself? Why did he die? While being unable to get rid of long-standing scars, a mental problem came. Therefore, because this mental problem comes, some people jump from that high place. It looks like nothing, but your past, Remnants, is entirely a platform. What? Preparing for the Summit. We are preparing for the Summit. It is okay no matter what school in what region you graduated from. Why? You are preparing 300%. You must always not worry. You must prepare 300%.
I am talking about how I prepared. It is not difficult. I was put in charge of youth, and they told me to be a youth evangelist; what a blessed thing it is? So, “What is the thing I must do?” then it is easy. “It is to save those children. How? Shouldn’t I know those children?” Therefore, I made notes about those children and carried them around. I did all the recording regarding our students. What is next? I have to go to the schools. There is no way to meet. Right now you can just use a cell phone or call the house, but at that time there weren’t many phones at home. You have to visit. Meeting those children and talking; then, “Ah, I must do this for these students,” becomes visible. That is 300%. It’s not difficult at all. It’s not a difficult thing.
When studying, finish 300%. The answer for “What will I do?” will come out. It comes out before you graduate from university. When it comes out, “Ah, what is the thing I must prepare now? What is the thing to prepare in the field?” You only need to know that. Then the future is visible, isn’t it?
Remnants, do not worry by being deceived by lies. Do not be deceived. God has prepared 100% for you. He prepared 100% on the path you go. Right? When you say it is not so, you have to end everything with unbelief. Then you shouldn’t believe. He prepared 100% of your future.
Then this (Introduction 3) answer comes out.

▣ Main Body_ Evidence

Now, it is the evidence of people who grasped the accurate covenant.

1. Genesis 37:1-11
It is Joseph. A too-difficult situation came, but he grasped the accurate covenant. Death is approaching and crisis is approaching and it is too difficult, but he grasped the accurate covenant. While praying. It worked, right?

2. Exodus 3:1-20
I mean, until the age became 80, having become a complete adult and the time to die having come, he could not grasp the accurate covenant. He grasped it having become 80 years old. From this time, [God] works. It is a comparison.
If our adults here just grasp the accurate covenant, works begin. There is nothing to agonize over, is there? What is the accurate covenant? Our pastors throughout the nation and the world just need to deliver God’s accurate covenant when preaching tomorrow. Do you have to interpret well? No need. Who interprets, with our heads! You just need to see the flow. That is the accurate covenant. The Word is being fulfilled. You see that flow.

3. 1 Samuel 3:1-19
It came to Samuel when he was very young. It happens like this. I mean, it came during infant/toddler [time]. The accurate covenant. It said, “Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” That’s right. Do not be deceived by lies.
It’s not that parents are telling lies, but they are saying things because they don’t know, that’s what it is. Would school teachers tell you lies? No. They are saying things because they don’t know. “Hey, living in the world is hard.” It’s correct, but it’s a lie. If you live without God, it’s not just to the extent of being hard. That is a disaster, a disaster.
Remnants, it’s okay no matter what you do by praying. Make 300%. Do not even worry about “What will I do in the future?” Make 300% of what is before your eyes. Studies? There is no such thing as doing well or not doing well. Make 300% while riding that flow. You unconditionally victory.
If you graduate from a good university like Harvard or Seoul National University, it is a bit advantageous. However, if those people couldn’t make this? They have to come under us and do errands. I’m saying they go under the person who made this and do errands. It can’t be helped.
Do you not believe my words? People like Bill Gates in America who belong to the 3 Organizations made it, didn’t they? These days, I’m saying people possessed by demons do it. Because people who believe in Jesus do not believe in the work of the Holy Spirit, now people possessed by demons come out and make all the masterpieces [works].
10 years ago, a Remnant said these words to me: “I should deliver that which is in God’s word, but if I make this into a masterpiece, it won’t be popular.” I thought, “That would be so.” But it’s not so. Right now, non-believers are completely making demon masterpieces. I’m saying non-believers make them.
It’s a strange thing, isn’t it? Spiritual problems come and they are making things that do strange acts right now.
Therefore, look at the 7 Remnants. While looking at that, you must grasp the evidence of the flow firmly.

4. 1 Samuel 17:1-47 Crisis – Opportunity
It is what David grasped from when he was young. Therefore, the greatest crisis became the greatest opportunity. Therefore, do not fear crisis. Grasp these evidences firmly now.

5. Nobody, Nothing (2 Kings 6:8-24)
What is 2 Kings 6:8-24? It is the Dothan movement. Remnants must always remember. Start from Nobody. Nothing. This is the eye that sees the important covenant. You must grasp the covenant accurately. It’s nothing, but you just need to grasp it.
Didn’t I always mention? Starting a pioneering [church] in Busan, my environment simply wouldn’t do. Ability wouldn’t do.

▣ Conclusion

Of all things, I came to Seoul at that time and did a tour. At that time, a country bumpkin from Busan came up and toured Seoul and looked at large churches like this. I came to the conclusion that it simply wouldn’t work [for me]. So I chose this. Nobody. “No need to receive help. It’s not even a help. There is nothing to give me help. There is no one to give me help.” You must realize accurately, the covenant. At that time, [I said] “I will do as it is in the Bible. I will do exactly what Christ taught.” Are not all the people who saw me witnesses? Works began to occur. Works began to occur toward world evangelization. It is still the beginning. Do not be deceived.
What was with Elisha—it was simply impossible, but [works] happened.

6. Absolute Impossibility, Absolute Plan, Absolute Possibility
Look, right now. They have been taken as captives to Babylon. It is absolutely impossible. However, there is God’s absolute plan. At that time, the absolute possibility is seen, isn’t it? The reason I am writing now is that I am talking about the way a Remnant lives. You must always grasp it and live. Then this (absolute possibility) is seen.

(When young)
What is this front part (Main 1-3)? It is what was known since a very young age. The more it is so (young), the more it is an advantage. This (Main 4-6) becomes a bit of a different story.

7. Acts 1:1-14, 19:8
Look at the last covenant. Acts 1:1-14 was delivered to the synagogue—that is what this means. Everything has come out here now. Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost have all come out. The power of the Throne has all come out. This was delivered to the synagogue. It is the end.

Therefore, you Remnants are always in today, within the future it is today. What kind of thing are you facing at your home? In a lifetime, it is today. Then, in eternity, it is today. Now, you are filming one life movie right now. You are the protagonist there. Then, within that, it is today.
Joseph came to go as a slave. Within fulfilling the covenant, it is today. You just need to see it like that. Then you overcome without receiving a shock. If not, going as a slave, you are shocked and cannot live. You don’t go to Egypt by car. You walk. At that time. The master rides a horse and the slaves are tied in ropes and dragged. There is no such thing as sleeping in some comfortable place while going. And you die while going, right? They leave you. He was dragged all the way there. It is today achieving world evangelization.
I will not speak long words. You must keep it in mind.
We will look at the scattered disciples. We must surely conclude as the scattered disciples.

The Way of the Lord

Proverbs 16:1-9.

To humans belong the plans of the heart,
    but from the Lord comes the proper answer of the tongue.

All a person’s ways seem pure to them,
    but motives are weighed by the Lord.

Commit to the Lord whatever you do,
    and he will establish your plans.

The Lord works out everything to its proper end—
    even the wicked for a day of disaster.

The Lord detests all the proud of heart.
    Be sure of this: They will not go unpunished.

Through love and faithfulness sin is atoned for;
    through the fear of the Lord evil is avoided.

When the Lord takes pleasure in anyone’s way,
    he causes their enemies to make peace with them.

Better a little with righteousness
    than much gain with injustice.

In their hearts humans plan their course,
    but the Lord establishes their steps.


God knows what is best for you. He created you, understands you completely, and loves you even more than you love yourself. Because of this, you do not need to live in fear. God already knows the plans He has for you—“plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” (Jeremiah 29:11).

When you trust this truth, worry begins to lose its power over your heart. The Lord who formed your life also guides it with wisdom and love. His perspective is far greater than yours, for as the heavens are higher than the earth, so His ways are higher than your ways and His thoughts higher than your thoughts (Isaiah 55:9). Therefore, you do not need to depend on the changing wisdom of the world, but rather on the perfect wisdom of God.

For this reason, understanding the way of the Lord and obeying His Word is the surest path to a life without regret. Most believers genuinely desire to obey God’s Word, yet something often holds them back. One reason is that we all carry preconceptions shaped by our experiences, personal standards, and limited understanding. When God’s Word challenges our expectations or contradicts our plans, we may hesitate to follow it.

Over time, these preconceptions can form habits, and those habits eventually shape our nature. Since everything we think, say, and do flows from our nature, disobedience can slowly become a pattern in our lives. When that happens, we are easily drawn into following “the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient” (Ephesians 2:2).

Another influence on how we follow God’s Word can be the teachings we receive. Different churches and traditions sometimes emphasize certain doctrines while neglecting others. For example, some deny the reality of Satan altogether, even though Scripture clearly speaks of spiritual warfare from beginning to end. Others attribute nearly every difficulty to the devil, though the Bible does not always do so. If we pick and choose what to believe or obey based on our own standards or partial teachings, we risk missing the fullness of the Lord’s way and the blessing found in His Word.

Jesus taught several important attitudes that prepare our hearts to understand and follow God’s will. First, He taught the importance of reconciliation. He said that if we remember someone has something against us while offering our gift at the altar, we should first go and be reconciled to them (Matthew 5:23–24). Division is one of Satan’s most effective strategies against families, churches, and even nations. When relationships break down, small conflicts can grow into serious problems. True unity, however, is possible through Christ. When we seek to understand one another and extend grace despite our differences, healing begins and solutions emerge.

Second, Jesus taught us to keep our priorities centered on God. He said, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33). Many prayers are driven by personal desires or temporary needs, yet Jesus calls us to pursue something greater—the kingdom of God. When we place the gospel, salvation, and God’s purposes first, our lives align with His plan. In doing so, the influence of darkness weakens wherever we go.

Finally, Jesus warned us about the danger of judging others. In Matthew 7:1–5, He reminds us that the same measure we use to judge others will be used against us. Before pointing out another person’s small fault, we must examine the larger issues in our own hearts. Self-examination leads to humility, and humility opens the door to grace. Our words carry great power, so instead of condemning others, we should speak words of understanding, forgiveness, and blessing. Even when someone hurts us, we are called not to return insult for insult but to pray for them, remembering that we ourselves were chosen to receive God’s blessing (1 Peter 3:8–12).

Above all, we must remember that nothing is hidden from God. He knows our plans (Proverbs 16:1), examines our motives (Proverbs 16:2), and sees the attitudes of our hearts (Proverbs 16:5–6). Yet this truth should not frighten us—it should comfort us. God has a purpose for everything (Proverbs 16:4), and even when we cannot see the full picture, He is guiding our steps (Proverbs 16:9).

The best way to discover His will is to remain deeply rooted in His Word. Jesus promised, “If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). When our lives are grounded in God’s unchanging truth, His Word becomes exactly what Scripture describes—a lamp for our feet and a light for our path (Psalm 119:105), guiding us step by step through every season of life.


Prayer. Father, thank You for guiding every step of my life. On this covenant journey, help me trust in Your Word above my own understanding. May Your Word always be a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Hymn
Jesus, Your Name
Morris Chapman and Claire Cloninger


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

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


Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 12:1-4

I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to be gained, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven. Whether it was in the body or out of the body I do not know—God knows. And I know that this man—whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, but God knows— was caught up to paradise and heard inexpressible things, things that no one is permitted to tell.

Forum and Prayer

The New Believers and Church

Prayer Journal: March 4, 2026
06. May 2025  237 New Believers & Field Ministers’ Training, Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 11:25-26


▣ Introduction: Jesus’ Anger, Rebuke, and Ridicule
It is likely the same for you, but for a new believer, the most important thing now is the church. If they do not understand this (the church), it becomes difficult. First, you all—the pastors—must know first: there were times Jesus got angry. Also, there were times He rebuked. There were times Jesus was a bit, what should I say, He didn’t ridicule, but He spoke in that kind of way. If so, isn’t it something important? You must know the important things and let the new believer know.

1) The Three Courts (Anger) – System: Jesus saw that the three courts had disappeared from Herod’s Temple and got very angry. So, these three courts are actually systems rather than time schedules. Jesus got angry here because of one of these. Among these, as for which one I should understand, one must find that system. You must tell them that even if they cannot find it right now, they must find it. Since Jesus let us know while being angry, do you not listen at all and ridicule when an important elder or parent gets angry out of heartbreak? You shouldn’t do that, right?
2) Rebuke – The Sabbath (Fri-Sat-Sun / Evidence / Time Schedule): That Jesus also did something as if rebuking greatly. What is it? It is the Sabbath. The Jewish Sabbath has strengths, but those people understood the Sabbath incorrectly. These people thought of doing nothing on the Sabbath. Therefore, when trying to understand this word, one must understand the Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. For us, it is not just about the Sabbath. You must tell them to find what parts they should concentrate on in this Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. They are grasping some evidences, but this refers to the time schedule. They are similar, the same words.
3) The Age of Meditation – Healing (Method / Concentration): Jesus went to the field and, as if rebuking or ridiculing the existing system, told the patient of 38 years to pick up his mat and go home. No one can do that. Telling a sick person to get up and go home, “Let it be done according to your faith”—these are amazing works. These people were shocked. They couldn’t reject it, it was correct, and enjoying this properly is called the Age of Meditation. It is healing. This healing is, simply put, a method, a method of witnessing. Evangelism is healing all those who are sick in spirit and body. That method is meditation. Therefore, you must make them have interest in the word “meditation.” This is the method of prayer. It is the method of concentrating toward God. In fact, if they understood only this, the new believer has understood everything. And because answers come.

What is Unknown in Religion: And there is something you must surely teach. During His 3-year public ministry, Jesus spoke a lot about what not to do. He forcibly brushed aside the Sabbath, spoke here and there, told the sick to just get up and go home; in the midst of doing various things, He did things the Jews never even thought of. While doing things existing religious people could not do, Jesus said this is not a blessing. He clearly said this is not prayer. In Matthew 7, He said that [kind of] walk of faith is not it. He spoke of various things that were “not it.”

① John 14:16: And the words He spoke, the last words are this, aren’t they? When I go, the Father will send the Counselor Holy Spirit to you to be with you forever.
② John 14:26: In my name He will send the Counselor Holy Spirit to you—the words are a bit different. He will send [Him] in my name, He will make you realize all things.
③ John 16:13: In John 16:13, He clearly said the Spirit of truth will lead you, the Counselor Holy Spirit will lead you into truth; and He will make you know all things and make you know future events.
④ Acts 1:8: Along with that, He called them again at the last and said if you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power.

Main Body

Then, what is the reason many existing churches do not work right now? Mainly, evangelism does not work. Why does it not work? Because we are prone to follow easily; this is a bit of a difficult story, but it must be explained in easy words to new believers. First. ① Escape from religion; the Gospel is not a religion. If you do not say this, this person stays submerged here. Disaster resolution does not happen. Second. If you want to receive true answers, ② escape from the voices of people. The third thing must be told. It is not just legalism. ③ Escape from physical legalism. One must escape from these three.

1. Escape from Religion! (Acts 1:1-14)

Therefore, you must let them know three important Bible verses.
To the new believer, verses you must surely know: Acts 1:1-14 are the words spoken at Mount Olivet. Before this, all the crowds fled. Only the people who understood these words remained. You must receive this blessing. Therefore, you must surely talk about three things.

1) Reason – Child (Relationship, not calculation): The reason for coming to church—this must be changed. “I came to church because my body was sick, and God healed me.” It’s correct, but not it. God has already chosen you and called you, He merely called you through that illness; it is not because of that. Then what will you do if you are sick again? Humans are bound to be sick someday, so that cannot be the reason. The reason is God didn’t save you because of your faith—by what? He saved you by grace; you are saved by believing that fact. If you do not make this clear, it won’t do. We received salvation by God’s grace, but I believe that fact. Therefore, “by faith”—in the Korean [Bible] it says “because of grace” [은혜를 인하여]; this is the motive. It’s the reason. “Through faith”—”through” is the means. Before this, they keep talking nonsense. Later they become church officers and talk nonsense again. “I did something and received a blessing.” No. Therefore, you must tell them. A child of God is not about calculation; it is a relationship with God. Grace—believing this fact. If you do not awaken them to this first, that person’s walk of faith does not work. If something happens, they talk differently again. They themselves alone suffer loss.
2) Not Crowd (X) – Disciple: Therefore, God did not call you as a crowd. Above, He called you as a child, and He called you as a disciple. That is escaping from religion.
3) Witness: And you must surely tell them. He called you as a missionary, as a witness. Jesus said it. (1) Power of the throne, (2) Presence of God’s Kingdom, (3) Work of God’s Kingdom—He called you as a witness to these. Jesus said it. You must make it certain.

2. Escape from the Voices of People! (Acts 11:19-30)

Second. It is Acts 11:19-30. Important, right? It said the scattered ones. The ones scattered by Stephen’s tribulation; many people fled. They gathered at this time. This is the Antioch Church.

1) Acts 11:1-18: Something to refer to here is Acts 11:1-18. It is the sound made by people who received all the grace at Mark’s Upper Room and Mount Olivet. This is now the voice of people. You must not listen to the voice of people. “I mean, why did you go to Cornelius’ house?”—nonsense sounds. Thinking about it now, it’s a sound that makes no sense, but at that time they thought that word was correct. “Why eat at a Gentile’s house?”—hearing it now, it’s a completely crazy sound, but at that time it was not a crazy sound. Many people were shaken like this.
2) Tradition, System: When listening to the voice of people, what is most powerful? Tradition—haven’t we always done it this way? System—it must be that way. What is like that? Does it come before God’s Word? That is why it doesn’t work. The world church—they don’t say it—but they hide things with these and speak “correct” words. That is why it doesn’t work.
3) Acts 11:19, 11:25-26, 11:28-30: They had to flee, but the scattered ones gathered. They staked their lives. Everyone is coming to capture them, but Paul came, held Barnabas’ hand, and a great crowd of disciples gathered. You must receive this blessing. You shouldn’t be here (in the crowd). You must surely tell this to the new believer. Because people who have believed for a long time are inside this and disturb the church. There was a famine over the whole world, but He blessed only the Antioch Church. What would be the reason? Because they have to do world evangelization; it’s a given. You must receive this blessing!

3. Escape from Physical Legalism! (Galatians 2:11-20)

You must tell them the last thing. Because legalism, a physical walk of faith, is not the goal, you must surely teach Galatians 2:11-20.

1) Legalism (Disaster): If you do not come out of the legalism of a religious person, disaster descends. Even so, they do not know.
2) System (Posterity): If you do not come out of the system of a religious person, problems come to the posterity. Why do such a thing?
3) Galatians 2:20: Therefore, the message Paul threw after receiving grace is Galatians 2:20. (1) I died on the cross. Why? (2) Christ lives within me. This is the important word.
This is what you must surely tell the new believer. To what extent should you receive God’s answer? To the point where your assertion is not needed—that is the standard. To what extent should you enjoy God’s power? To the point where my thoughts are absolutely not needed. Do you not understand? This is what it means to say He is “with you.” I have said it several times before. Pastor Kim Chang-hyeok called me and asked, “Elder, what would you like for dinner?” He prepares as I say. Why? Because he must be with me, and the master of “being together” is me, not him. There has never been a time like this: “Pastor, I’m craving fish cakes today, would you like to go?” Never. While Pastor Lee Sang-bae and Pastor Kim Chi-hun followed me around, they never once said, “Today I’m craving something.” “Elder, what will you eat?” Why? Because God is my Master, why does my poor thought become the lord?

If you do not teach this to the new believer, it will be a big problem. That word is evidence that they are not receiving answers. I mean, the answer is visible, right? If you follow the flow, it’s visible, right? It’s visible, so you cannot have your own thoughts, can you? Only gratitude comes out of me: “It is God’s grace, thank you.” Only confirmation like this happens; as for what to do, thinking “it must be this way” in the head, whether it is God’s will or not “I must do this”—that is a sound that makes no sense. That is the secret that prevents receiving answers. Since the new believer doesn’t know well, you must teach them clearly. Do not do things that cause conflict; do only the certain things. Then if you pray, the answer comes to you. “I will be with you until the end of the world.” The Lord sitting on the throne was with them. “What I have I give to you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Amazing, right? “In the name of Jesus Christ, I command you, come out of her, you foul demon.” Paul did that. The demon left. You must make it so the new believer has conviction. Therefore, today’s three lectures are truly essential for the new believer. Therefore, you must do it.

▣ Conclusion: Collapse the Bartizan of Disaster

Therefore, the conclusion becomes like this. Completely collapse the bartizan of disaster.

1) Matthew 12:26-30, 12:43-45: Jesus said it. Already inside us, Satan is making a bartizan and building a house. Using demons to build a house…
2) 2 Corinthians 10:4-5: To the point where one is so stubborn, a strong fortress, a stronghold of Satan, is made inside me. No matter how strongly it was built, in English it says Strongholds. No matter how strongly it exists, that is a fortress.
3) John 16:11-14, 2 Corinthians 4:4-5: Not just that, but inside us humans. This Satan completely acts as the ruler. He acts as the king, and one has no choice but to be dragged along. He plays the role of a god. He is a god. They go and give immense money while serving, doing things like this. They came from that kind of culture.

Now, as a wrap-up, you must tell the new believers a few things.
If a demon-possessed person tells a fortune, that demon-possessed person can get it right. However, ultimately Satan deceives. You must surely tell them. If you enjoy this blessing, there is no need to try to find out the future. it comes out. This is the standard. If by any chance you are wondering, “Should my future be this way or that way?” wait at those times. You are a child of God. The Holy Spirit is with you. Didn’t He say to wait? Then, because if this connects to just one thing, the flow is seen, so from then on it is continuously seen, right? Do you understand well? The new believer sees and the Word is seen being continuously fulfilled—it must be this way. When are they surprised? They came to worship on Sunday, and while listening to the pastor’s sermon, the path is completely the same as mine; “Did the pastor hang a CCTV in our house now?”—it becomes like that. It really happens. “How does he know my situation so well?” The pastor didn’t do that. He just prepared the sermon, but it’s like that. This is the work of the Holy Spirit; the work of the Holy Spirit Jesus spoke of, John 14:16, is the work of the Holy Spirit that comes upon all saints. You must tell them that. And whether demons actually come if you perform ancestral rites for your parents. You must tell them a few things. They come. A disguised false demon comes; if your parents truly became ghosts and came, the Bible would have told you to perform ancestral rites. It told you not to. In 1 Corinthians 10:20, it said ancestral rites are serving demons. I mean, the theory of reincarnation—turning around and what I become in a past life—is that correct? It is a demon’s prank. Do not be deceived. You do not have to do such things. They all do it because they cannot see. Therefore, it is visible. Because you here are evangelists, the future is visible. It comes as an answer. Then it’s fine.

Then the important thing is that now me, you, and the saints are exactly connected like this, right? Right? Why am I like that? Because we are the ones who do world evangelization together with you; because you must save the church while doing world evangelization; because the saints must save the field before saving the church—it is made to fit perfectly. Therefore, if you start receiving this answer, the flow is seen. While the flow is seen, the point is seen. The word “point” is used in many places, but the place it is used most is in fishing. I talked about fishing with Ray, but since he said he went fishing once, he proudly showed me the fish he caught. That is “miscellaneous fish” [잡어]. There are places where fish travel. But there are places where they travel, but the flow is different every day. It’s different according to the current and different according to the direction. If there is a rock here, if the water flows, the fish come up this way. Then you should cast here, right? If the water flows this way, the fish’s head turns this way, I’m telling you. Then you should cast here, right? Looking at that, it is called a point. But the current is too fast, the fish hide—at those times you must put it into a hole. That is the point. But the water doesn’t move much, then the fish don’t move—then you must cast far. You must pull it as if it is moving. You pull it, and there is some rock and there is food, and the fish stays there and bites. “Point”—in case you might not understand, I am talking about it now. There is a point. Once you catch that just once, the feeling is completely different. When you put it in conscientiously and it bites like Ray’s, you go “Oh!” You put it in having calculated exactly. But this came and bit. It’s a different story. To put it simply, we saw God’s time exactly. While praying, if you grasp the covenant there, it is different. You must let the new believers see this “taste.” Then they go to the world riding the Gospel flow that is within the message you deliver.

Therefore, one more word must be said to the new believer. Do not try to do it quickly, and do not try to give up; the same words come out. Wait while enjoying; when the time schedule comes, challenge; yes. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the working of the power of the Holy Spirit be upon all evangelists who will save the world, from now until eternity, always. Amen.

What Happens When You Obey?

Joshua 1:8-9. Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.


When Moses stood before the burning bush at Mount Horeb, his hesitation came from a very simple, honest feeling of being inadquate: “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” (Exodus 3:11). Moses saw his limitations clearly—he was eighty years old, a fugitive, a man of “slow speech,” and a simple shepherd with nothing but a wooden staff. He begged God to send someone else, convinced of his inadequacies.

Yet, Moses’ story proves that God does not call the equipped; He equips the called. When Moses finally surrendered to the Word, God transformed his ordinary shepherd’s staff into the “Staff of God”—an instrument of power that parted the Red Sea and displayed the authority of the Passover Lamb over the gods of Egypt. Through obedience, Moses moved from self-doubt to become the vessel through which God shattered the power of darkness.

When the leadership passed to Joshua, God defined the singular secret to victory: “Keep this Book of the Law always on your lips; meditate on it day and night… then you will be prosperous and successful” (Joshua 1:8). Success in the Promised Land was not about military strategy, but about spiritual alignment. Joshua learned that hearing, speaking, and connecting the Word to every situation was the only way to overcome impossible odds. Because Joshua obeyed, the Jordan River split, the walls of Jericho crumbled, and a land of giants was conquered.

This principle remains unchanged throughout history. Samuel reminded King Saul that “to obey is better than sacrifice” (1 Samuel 15:22), because religious rituals are hollow if the heart is in rebellion. God is not looking for the “fat of rams”—He is looking for a heart that heeds His voice.

We see this absolute obedience again at the wedding banquet in Cana. When the wine ran out, Mary gave the servants a timeless directive: “Do whatever he tells you” (John 2:5). These servants occupied the lowest place of their society, yet because they followed Christ’s instructions without question, they became the first witnesses to His creative glory. While the master of the banquet was puzzled by the source of the wine, the servants—the ones who obeyed—knew the secret of the miracle.

Obedience is also the lens through which we view our resources. At the feeding of the five thousand, Philip looked at the crowd through the lens of a rational budget, concluding it was impossible (John 6:7). Andrew brought a boy’s lunch—five loaves and two fish—but even he doubted its impact. We often mirror Philip and Andrew; we say we believe, but in a crisis, we rely on our own calculations. We listen to the voice of the world and drown in worry rather than rising in prayer.

However, if you believe and obey, you will see the glory of God (John 11:40). When you surrender your life to Christ, He takes your “five loaves and two fish”—your small talents, your time, your ordinary life—and multiplies them to feed a spiritually hungry generation.

To experience this, you must dethrone yourself. When you remain on the throne of your life, you are steering a ship into a storm without a compass. But when you enthrone Jesus as your True King, you cast off the weight of anxiety and the burden of sin. He turns your emptiness into fullness and your weakness into a conduit for His strength. As you go, hold fast to the promise given to Joshua: “Do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9).


Prayer. Father, I ask for a heart of obedience to Your Word. May Your truth never depart from my mouth, my heart, or my mind. Help me to trust Your instructions more than my own logic. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The New Believers and Occupation

Prayer Journal: March 3, 2026
06. May 2025  237 New Believers & Field Ministers’ Training, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8, 2:1-47


▣ Introduction
Today, Lecture 2 is “New Believers and Occupation.” Occupation includes studies, job, and industry.
After Jesus made this promise (Acts 1:8), it began to be fulfilled at Mark’s Upper Room (Acts 2:1-47). A person whom new believers can look to as a model is the visitor from Rome (Acts 2:10) who was present there. Most people view this as the Priscilla couple (Acts 18:1-4). This person meets Paul. Also, they meet the Remnant Apollos (Acts 18:24-28). And they save Corinth (1 Corinthians 16:19). While that church was fighting, the Priscilla couple did the Gospel movement. Thus, they even participated in Rome evangelization (Romans 16:3-4).
They can be seen as a perfect model. There are many cases like this where new believers receive grace and believe well. Rather, there are many cases where people have led a religious life for a long time but cannot understand the Word well. The reason is not that believing for a long time is a problem, but they actually lack the secret of prayer mentioned in Lecture 1. Therefore, they cannot enjoy the changing of their own fate. And they cannot experience that power of God being with them. Consequently, the future becomes more difficult. Lecture 1 is about changing fate, experiencing power, and confirming the future.

Evidence
Now, then, what kind of Word should we give to new believers? What is most necessary for a new believer is grasping evidence.

1) Those who failed (New Covenant)
I mentioned earlier that there are also three types of new believers; looking at occupation, quite many who failed come. There are cases where they try this and that, and when it doesn’t work, they realize the Gospel. Mostly, if you listen to testimonies, there are many situations where they built temples when they had much money and gave everything to the temples, and when it was gone, they came to church. Now, we must give an accurate message to these people.

(1) Genesis 12:1-3: God told Abraham to leave the region with the most idols. Leaving is not the issue; He said to go to the land I will show you. Receive God’s guidance completely—this is the message that must be given to new believers.
(2) Genesis 37:1-11: This is the covenant Joseph grasped while placed in extreme difficulty. Joseph was not a failure, but he was in the midst of great difficulty. And God gave many important answers in these extreme situations.
(3) Exodus 2:1-10: This is the covenant Jochebed grasped. In a state of complete death, she came to grasp an important covenant. Only when new believers are made to know these messages does proper prayer begin.
(4) 1 Samuel 1:9-11: In fact, before the greatest answer, even Hannah could not enjoy the answer before discovering this, but then she discovered it.
(5) 1 Kings 19:1-21: Even a person like Elijah said he was now ruined. For God, it was the beginning. Therefore, we must clearly let our new believers know that it is the start of your life.
(6) Daniel 1:8-9: When they were taken completely as captives—in a way, isn’t it a great failure? Because the nation was ruined. Knowing that, he made a resolution. If people like Daniel at that time thought, “We have succeeded, even so, it’s a relief,” and lived just to eat and survive in that way, it would have no meaning. He made a resolution.
(7) Acts 1:14, Acts 2:1-47: Therefore, the people placed in the most extreme situations were the people of Acts 1:14. God prepared the greatest thing. The start of that answer was Mark’s Upper Room. There are many people who come because they failed like this. You must not pass over this half-heartedly. You must grasp God’s sure new covenant. It won’t do if you cannot overcome this.

2) Successful people (Greater Covenant)
And looking in the Bible, and generally looking at new believers, successful people also come. You must surely let these people know the fact that there is a greater covenant.

(1) Psalm 78:70-72: For example, a person like David already was successful while being a shepherd as seen in Psalm 78:70-72, and he was grasping a greater covenant regarding the future.
(2) 1 Kings 18:1-15: There was difficulty, but still, in 1 Kings 18, church officers like Obadiah truly grasped a greater covenant. Therefore, if we become children of God, it means failure is not important and success is not important either.
(3) 1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-11, 2 Kings 6:8-24: Therefore, as for most successful people, in 1 Kings 19:19-21, Elisha is a successful person as a farmer. He threw all this away and saw something greater. It is appearing in 2 Kings 2:9-11. Then, he comes to unfold the Dothan movement, which is the true success and great covenant. It is unmistakably so. People thought it was a complete disaster, but it is not so. Therefore, even you who have led a religious life for a long time, and even you who are evangelists, if you fail, you become bound by that. Also, if you succeed, it is easy to understand it as if everything is done with that. And when choosing, you keep trying to do your own thing instead of God’s thing. Therefore, we don’t need to do that. We must know the fact that there is God’s greater covenant.

It’s not our denomination, but in a certain denomination, they fought so much to stubbornly establish their own son; they say it is serious even now. Even if the whole congregation says, “We must absolutely establish the pastor’s son,” you have to think about it. If there is opposition but they keep fighting to establish him, it’s very troublesome. If I were an elder, it might be different, but I am also a pastor. As a pastor, I mean, is there a need for that in the church? So one pastor asked me. “Pastor, all the session members keep telling me to establish my son; will it be okay?” if all the session members speak that way, there is nothing as biblical as that. Why? Because as a pastor’s son, he knows well. To establish him when all the session members oppose—there is nothing as unbiblical as that. That is understood. Why? Because they only saw the reality. If you look at reality, isn’t it so? If we establish our son, it’s a bit better; a bit of a realistic calculation is visible. Then how would a new believer judge? The judgment of the saints is predictable. They just judge according to their mood. If the mood is good, it’s good; if it’s not, it’s not—it must absolutely not be that way. The new covenant must be told to the new believer. There is a greater covenant. There is a new covenant more than the problem that came to you now, and there is a greater covenant more than the fact that you are in a bit of difficulty now—isn’t it certain?

3) The sick (Missionary)
Sick people come. Here, beyond the new covenant and the greater covenant, you must grasp, “God has established you as a missionary.” It is establishing the sick person as a witness who can do ministry.

(1) Acts 13:12: Now, what kind of thought would this governor, who saw darkness in that field of darkness, have had? At that time, as a governor, he was a person who could do as he pleased in that region, but this person received complete grace in the Gospel.
(2) Acts 16:16-18: This woman possessed by a demon, who was always used and suffered—what kind of work would have happened when she was healed?
(3) Acts 19:8-20: In Tyrannus, many sick people were healed of diseases that doctors could not cure, and this person was turned into a missionary. These parts must be told to new believers. Just because they are new believers doesn’t mean they don’t know; God’s grace exists much more greatly.

▣ Main Body
Therefore, I spoke of important prayer in Lecture 1. Simply put, it is changing the bartizan. Establish God’s bartizan—it’s a given.

1. 24 Hours – “Spiritual Summit / 777 / Bartizan”
Now, then, 24 is beginning; riding this flow—this is called becoming a spiritual summit. You are the spiritual summit who saves your lineage, and you are the spiritual summit who saves many people whom you knew in the field during that time. From now on, as for how to do this occupation: the skill summit and culture summit that follow the spiritual summit are bound to follow. Therefore, what blessing do you enjoy? You are the spiritual summit who enjoys this blessing (777). 24 means riding that rhythm; 24 means seeing that flow; being within that flow; seeing this blessing, this tremendous flow—that is the spiritual summit. This is called a bartizan. God’s bartizan has stood. The bartizan of the Throne has stood.

1) 3 Concentrations: Therefore, if you see this blessing from now on, start the 3 concentrations anew. When you open your eyes, it is God’s grace; when you sleep, it is God’s grace; all our lives are God’s grace!
2) 3 Settings: When it becomes that way, this is made within your occupation. It comes unmistakably. From then on, even if you clean, you succeed. A person of prayer named Shive succeeded by cleaning. A person named Wanamaker became the greatest entrepreneur by becoming a spiritual summit within this prayer.
3) 3 Answers: Then, this kind of occupation that changes everything comes out. That is the 3 answers.

2. 25 Hours – “Field Summit / 777 / Journey”
You must let them know clearly what God has prepared like this. You can even forget other things; if you just remember this: 24 does not mean praying without eating or sleeping; it means riding this important flow. It is seeing this. Then naturally, 25 comes. If this 25 comes, you surely become a field summit. You save the field. The reason is that you go on the journey with this. Because this journey is not done by my strength, I used the word 25.

1) Power of the Throne: This is called the power of the Throne.
2) Answer of the Kingdom: Wait. This is called the answer of the Kingdom of God descending.
3) Work – Fulfillment: This is called the answer where the works of the Kingdom of God are fulfilled. You have no choice but to become a field summit. You and we, while doing evangelism for 30–40 years, received many disputes and attacks, but we have never fought once. We are achieving a greater world evangelization. It is foolish. The Gospel is not blocked. Your ministry is not blocked. This Gospel is evidenced in any case. If a problem comes, it is evidenced more greatly.

3. Eternity – “World Summit / 777 / Guidepost”
What? You come to leave what is called eternity. You must speak here. This is called becoming the world summit promised by God. “I will be with you always with all authority in heaven and on earth,” “Go to all nations”—you must speak this clearly to new believers. It shouldn’t be too complicated. This is called establishing this guidepost of blessing—the bartizan/journey/guidepost that Jesus directly taught at the last. It is becoming the world summit. And from this time, there is an answer that comes—it’s certain.

1) Romans 16:25: Because you obtained the answer called eternity, this answer comes from this time. Even if you didn’t pray, you will see the answers God keeps bringing to you. Finally, God keeps bringing to you the Word that will be fulfilled. He keeps bringing to you the business that will be fulfilled. Therefore, since wars keep erupting, the tent occupation of the Priscilla couple works even better.
2) Romans 16:26: In every place you go, the things hidden, the eternal things, the things others cannot see are prepared in the places you go.
3) Romans 16:27: You come to enjoy the true answer of the Throne that will be for ever and ever, which is a more eternal blessing. This is the occupation a new believer will achieve.

▣ Conclusion: 300%
If it becomes this way, previously you competed. You won’t have to. The 300% answer comes. Every new believer must be this way. Every Remnant must be this way. Preparing this way is much easier. If you don’t prepare this way, it is impossible. Don’t I always say it? How easy it is. You must grasp the talent mission first; I thought, “I must do the evangelism movement properly.” I grasped that as a mission. Everyone would do it, but “I will only do the evangelism movement”—because I grasped that, unless I am a fool, there is what I did for 24 [hours], what is it? I only studied regarding evangelism. Because of this, what is visible? The Word is visible. “So that’s why,” therefore I prepared things regarding evangelism. So then every day—it wouldn’t be 365 days—but I entered the field almost every day. While receiving persecution inside and out, every day—what my wife said is right. “Other evangelists are not like that, why are only you like that?” Right! I should have finished quickly and gone home, but I went to the field again and came home late at night. The thing I am most thankful to President Chun Doo-hwan for is that he abolished the curfew. So I roamed around as I pleased. What this is, is that the field is clearly visible. This is 25. What is there that cannot be done? “What must be done in the future,” that is eternity. It means 100% regarding the future.

But what I was a bit flustered by: wherever I go after preparing, works occur. Just by going—I wondered what this was. If I enter one place, I cannot come out. Because people who accept keep arising—300%—you must surely let them know. Therefore, your 300% answer is prepared. Only when you receive this can you serve the church; only then can you help pastors; in a place where you don’t receive answers, you cannot serve the church—isn’t it so? You have to have it to serve; I’m saying this is much easier. From then on, habit—everything became this way. “I must do healing ministry”—from the moment I set my heart, I continued to study regarding healing. 24. But non-believers, though they are fake, are doing better. I saw that. 25. I saw the field. That is the journey. As expected, the answer is with God. Eternity—God says He will give this. It’s promised. Therefore, I can give the answer regarding healing. It’s much easier, isn’t it? You must surely take this blessing and deliver it to the church too, and you must do special things from now on. Just as I mentioned earlier, 40 days, Acts 2:42, Acts 2:46-47—just remember these. In my case, because I didn’t know how to do it well, I did 40 days continually. Every time I did it, something became visible. Therefore, I see that God answers accurately. To do it this way, there is something prepared. You must let them know the three things prepared.

1) Absolute Bartizan: While going and enjoying the bartizan, the absolute bartizan is visible. So as for what the absolute bartizan is, others say it is hard, but I could see what can be done. Especially when they say evangelism is that difficult, for me, the easiest thing when I go is evangelism. My personality is already not an evangelizing personality, you know? But this is visible. Along with that, He prepares disciples who do not change in every place you go.

2) Absolute Journey (Prepared): In every place you go, there is a prepared person. Is there anything else to our journey? This is the absolute journey.

3) Absolute Guidepost (Disciple): Finally, you establish a guidepost, and the absolute guidepost comes out. Of course, the prepared person is also a disciple, but a disciple who makes a true system appears.
Among those, the greatest is you all. Guidepost. Why? Because world evangelization will occur through you—you might not know it, but because it will occur through your posterity—it occurs through the Remnants you raised. The Remnants just don’t know it for a bit, but it occurs. In age after age, this kind of movement arose. This is not done by us; in age after age, God established the one who remained who completely realized the Gospel and did world evangelization—that is the word Remnant. In its accurate meaning, the word Remnant means the one who remained, and it means the one who was discarded. Both of those are used. We use the word remnant even when we eat food and a bit is left over. It is this remaining in the midst of death until the end. That word is Remnant. Therefore, in the Bible, it is an extremely important word. The one who remained—it’s the same word, but at times a traveler, at times of a bit of crisis the scattered ones, when a bit of a special thing happens the prepared ones, when it is more serious the hidden ones—that is all the word Remnant. Therefore, we don’t do some strange Bible interpretation saying it’s only for our special gathering. Every person who has the Gospel is the one who remained there. Therefore, what is the conclusion? You are the survivor [the one who survived] in your lineage—then what must you do in the future? You must develop power and become the one who remains [the one who stays]; then persecution will also come, but you become the one who will remain [the one who will stay] who changes the cultural sphere; what is more important is becoming the one who will leave [the one who will leave behind] who raises the posterity—this is Lecture 2.

Then, very importantly, why do churches fail? You must let them know. “I led a religious life for a long time, but why don’t I receive answers? Why is that? Tremendous churches in Europe began to close doors; why is that? I mean, doing world evangelization is a given, but why can we not do world evangelization and churches close doors?” You must give the answer. That is Lecture 3. Therefore, because it is important for new believers, you must first digest it and deliver it. I say it again. Utilize the Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. The word Friday-Saturday-Sunday age refers to time, and the word 3 Courts refers to the system. In fact, they are the same thing. Because you must make them actually possess it—that is the age of meditation. In fact, they are the same words. We will rest for about 10 minutes, but even during the 10 minutes, you must obtain many answers while praying. I hope it becomes a time to restore health and obtain many answers.
I will do it in 10 minutes.

How Can You Meet God?

Yes, it’s nice to meet you. This is the third session of our time editing our lives with the recording. Gospel Letter Lesson 3: How can one meet God? How can one meet God? If you look at John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Amen. A few years ago, through the introduction of a church deaconess, I met a woman in her early 60s. This person thought she was living healthily, but she went to the hospital because her body didn’t feel well and was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. She heard news like a bolt from the blue that she could only live for about three months. This person met with me through the deaconess, and when I met her one morning, even though it was early, I could feel her heart and face seized by the fear of death. I told her that a problem greater than lung cancer had come upon her. What would a problem greater than lung cancer be? She is dying of lung cancer, so what could be bigger? God is clearly alive, but you are a person who has left God for a lifetime. God clearly created you as a spiritual being possessing God’s image, but your spirit is dead and away from God. Ephesians 2:1 says, “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, He brought you to life.” You are away from God, right? Your spirit is dead, right? The original sin starting from the first humans, Adam and Eve, hasn’t been resolved, so disasters find us humans because of it. And because the invisible Satan is seizing us who are fallen into original sin, John 8:44 says, “You belong to your father, the devil.” And for a person who has left God, the person’s life itself is hell, and after living like hell and dying, they actually go to hell; they are within the background of hell. Leaving God, the spirit being dead, being fallen into original sin, and being trapped within the background of hell by the devil—isn’t this, in fact, a problem greater than lung cancer? Therefore, today, what is more important and more urgent than curing lung cancer is meeting the living God. For our dead spirit to obtain new life and to receive liberation from original sin, Satan, and the background of hell that have come down since the time of Adam—that is a more urgent matter for you. Therefore, whether this disease is cured or not because you believe in Jesus today, I cannot know, but Jesus Christ, who resolved your fundamental problem—regardless of the disease, Jesus Christ, who died on the cross and was resurrected today to take charge of all our sins in our place, and who collapsed the authority of Satan, the authority of hell, and all original sin and disasters—Jesus Christ, who sought us out with the Spirit of life—I hope you accept Him as Savior and become a child of God. So she accepted Jesus as Savior with tears, and upon opening her eyes after the acceptance prayer, she confessed with great joy that it was the happiest day of her life, and after that, regardless of the disease, she continued to worship, listen to the Word, and pray, living so happily. Today’s Gospel Letter Lesson 3 title is “How Can One Meet God?” As it says in point one, God is the Creator God and He governs our lives, and that God is Spirit. Because God is Spirit, He is invisible to our physical eyes, and therefore a person cannot see, meet, or touch Him. However, because He is Spirit, He is not limited by space. Visible idols are limited, and God does not enter into idols made by visible people. Because God is Spirit, He is the omnipresent God who is not absent from any place, the omniscient God who knows everything, and the omnipotent God who can do everything. Therefore, God exists and works with the name Jehovah; it means “the one who exists of Himself.” The eternal God. The absolute Sovereign God, who created the world and us humans and governs the life, death, blessing, and curse of all us humans and governs the history of mankind, is alive even now and is governing the world even now. Therefore, because we humans were created as spiritual beings possessing the image of God, meeting this God is salvation; therefore, for humans, there is nothing more important or urgent than salvation. Now, however, as it says in point two, because we humans have physical bodies, we cannot see God with our eyes and cannot actually meet God physically. Because our human spirit is limited within the physical body, leaving the physical body is death, and while our spirit is within the physical body, it is an opportunity for salvation. Therefore, as mankind left God, they are in a state where the spirit is dead; because they are seized by the invisible Satan, mankind can absolutely never seek out God or meet God on their own, as we confirmed in the Word last time as well. So, as it says in point three, in order to save you and me, God came to this earth wearing the body of a man. God opened the way. God, who is Spirit, came to this earth wearing the body of a man in order to save us humans. That person is exactly Jesus Christ; therefore, Jesus Christ came to this earth as a true man without sin, but His spirit is God. Therefore, because Jesus possesses the nature of God, He can abolish the authority of Satan, and because He possesses the nature of man, He could suffer death by shedding His blood on the cross in our place for our sins. He who is God abolished the authority of Satan, and He who is true man atoned for all our sins; therefore, if you accept the resurrected Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life, you and I meet God and become children of God. When you accept this Jesus Christ into your heart, as the Spirit of life comes upon our spirit, our dead spirit comes to life, we become children of God, and we receive eternal salvation. The moment you accept this Jesus, the authority of Satan leaves forever, and we receive eternal liberation from original sin and actual sins, and we obtain eternal life. Therefore, if you truly believe in Jesus in your heart and confess with your mouth to accept Him as my Savior and my Owner, you and I will enjoy the blessing of becoming children of God. As it says in point four, if so, what is the evidence that God is with me? 1 Corinthians 12:3 says that no one can confess Jesus as Lord except by the Holy Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit has come within us, we become able to confess Jesus as my Owner. From that time, the Holy Spirit guides our lives and sanctifies us toward the holy path. Now, when we receive the Word of God correctly, through the realization of the Holy Spirit, we correctly realize the Word of God, and when we follow that Word, we receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and if we repent for the sins we committed, God grants us great grace, forgives those sins, and guides our lives. Now, if we grasp the Word of God and set a time and a topic and begin to pray earnestly until the end, just twice a day, in the morning and at night, if we pray to be filled with the Spirit of the Lord who is within me, God pours out the promised fullness of the Holy Spirit to us, and Satan, who lost us, tries to deceive and attack us until the end, but if we receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit, we overcome our own limitations, we overcome the complicated world, and we overcome all attacks of Satan. When that happens, from then on, the evidences that God is with me appear in my life. Therefore, when other people see that God is with me or if I testify to the Lord who is with me, the door of evangelism is opened. The people around me come to know more about the Lord who is with me, and I hope that this blessing of evangelism, where those people also believe in Jesus as the Christ like me, appears to you and me as well. John 14:6: “I am the way and the truth and the life.” Jesus is exactly the way to meet God, the true truth that resolves all problems of us humans, and the eternal life that brings our dead spirits to life; while remembering that fact once more, I hope you truly begin prayer for the fullness of the Holy Spirit within Christ. When you open your eyes in the morning, if [you pray], “God, grant me the fullness of the Holy Spirit. With the Spirit of Christ, with the Spirit of God, with the Holy Spirit, make me full. Today as well, please be together in all my life and let me enjoy the blessing of God being with me.” While starting prayer comfortably in the morning, I hope you begin the day; and during the day, regarding the people I meet, the work I do, and all the places I go, I hope you experience God being with you in all of life within that prayer of enjoying the blessing of being with God, and before going to sleep, once more, so that the Spirit of God makes me full, it is even better if you can listen to the Word once. Before going to sleep, if you can listen to the Word of God, grasp that Word, and end the day while doing prayer that obtains great spiritual strength toward God, you and I will continue to experience evidences in our lives that God is with us. Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, and the life—by accepting that Christ as Savior, become a child of God, and while receiving and enjoying the fullness of the Holy Spirit, I bless you in the name of the Lord that you all become witnesses of the blessing who daily experience God being together with me.

Why Can’t People Meet God?

Acts 4:12. Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.


Yes, it is nice to meet you. It is the second session of the time to edit our lives with the Gospel. Gospel Letter Lesson 2: Why does mankind have no happiness? Why is mankind devoid of happiness? We will share the message under this title. In the last session, through our first meeting, we confirmed the Word of God regarding “Why mankind has no happiness.” We confirmed the important fact that mankind has no happiness because they lost the original blessings given by God and are living having left God. Before sharing the message, I would like to first tell a little story about how I edited my life with the Gospel. My parents are very good people. They are people who live diligently, people who live doing their best, and they are my ordinary yet very good parents who hate causing harm to others. However, in my childhood memories, they fought so much. They were truly good people, but they fought so, so much. During my middle and high school years, and elementary years, they fought truly every day, to the extent that I remember it as there being not a single day they didn’t fight. They fought with words, and when it was severe, they hit and fought each other, and things in the house would be broken, and tools that were lacking when cooking in the kitchen would appear during the fights. Eventually, while my father was in a state of being too drunk, he fought with my mother and hit my mother’s head with a glass alcohol bottle, and I saw my mother’s forehead being torn before my eyes, and while wiping that flowing blood, I saw them fighting with even more strength, and I was so deeply scarred, and [I thought], “Why do my parents fight like this? Why on earth did they get married?” I hated my parents so much and I resented my parents so, so much. Therefore, I grew up having many scars and darkness in my heart. Beyond resentment toward my parents and beyond hatred toward my parents, in this situation that could not be resolved, in order to fill it with something else, I became obsessed with sports, obsessed with music, and obsessed with games, and without knowing it myself, I came to have a time of wandering. However, unable to find the fundamental answer for my life, my heart gradually became darker, my thoughts became darker, and I gradually spoke less; looking back now, it seems I grew up in a state similar to depression. At that time, the reason I thought my parents fought and our home was unhappy was that when they fought every day, they talked a lot about money. Money. Company. [I thought], “People fight like this because they have no money. Money is the problem and money is the answer.” I thought that way; and second, because my parents were people born around the time of the Korean War, I heard that they could not attend school properly and could not study much. Therefore, [I thought], “A person must have knowledge and must learn, but when a person cannot learn and has no knowledge, they live while fighting like this. Knowledge is the problem and knowledge is the answer.” I thought that way. Also, third, I heard that many of the elders in Korea did so in the past: they got married through a promise between families. So they said they saw each other’s faces for the first time on the first day of their wedding ceremony. Therefore, when they fought, they very often said things like, “I came to this house to marry you having only seen your face, and now I suffer this hardship.” Therefore, [I thought], “If you marry a person you do not love, it is unhappy like this.” However, as I grew up a bit and became an adult, and as I came to know the Gospel, and as I came to look at the world correctly, I saw that even those chaebols who have so much money collapse, commit suicide, and many problems come; and seeing those professors who are said to have learned so much knowledge get depression, get mental problems, and collapse through strange incidents, and their homes collapse and their posterity collapse, I saw that money is not the answer and knowledge is also not the answer; there was an incident that shocked us so much where at one time the best talent in our country married the best baseball player, but they eventually divorced after hitting and fighting each other, and that talent also committed suicide, and that baseball player also committed suicide. Therefore, loving is also not the fundamental reason or the fundamental answer. Along with that, as I came to know the Gospel, I came to know why I had no choice but to be that way, why my parents had no choice but to be that way, and why our family had no choice but to live while fighting and giving and receiving many scars. God did not make mankind this way originally. God originally created our humans as spiritual beings possessing the image of God, and therefore they should live while being with God, receiving God’s grace and love, and loving, praising, and worshipping God, and they should live to conquer and govern the world with the wisdom and power God gives, but they lost all the original blessings of mankind. Looking at the reason for the loss, because the first humans of our mankind, Adam and Eve, were deceived by Satan, committed sin, and left God, they lost all these original blessings of mankind. My parents and I, who were born after the Genesis chapter 3 incident, were also born within that Genesis chapter 3 in a state of having left God, in a state where the spirit is dead, and in a state of being seized by Satan, and while struggling with physical efforts, physical struggles, and physical methods, because of spiritual problems that are not resolved no matter how much they effort, they eventually ended up fighting each other, giving scars, and receiving scars, and they had no choice but to live their lives that way. Leaving God is the fundamental problem of our home, and Genesis chapter 3 is exactly the fundamental problem of our home. I was fallen into Genesis chapter 3. My parents were fallen into Genesis chapter 3. Our whole family was fallen into Genesis chapter 3. Furthermore, even while my parents fought like that, I often saw them crying during the time they were alone. My mother would go up to the attic and always lament her lot in life, and she would come down after crying for 30 minutes or an hour. My father also, when he came home after drinking, would sit us children down and continue to speak about how he was lonely, there was no fun in living, and his personality did not match with my mother at all, and once, while holding my hand and with his head bowed, my father’s tears dripped onto the back of my hand several times. Ah, my mother was truly having a hard time; my father was truly having a hard time; my father cried when he was alone, my mother also cried when she was alone, and because us children were also being scarred and shedding tears when we were alone, I came to know the very amazing fact that there is no perpetrator and there are only victims. It was a spiritual problem that my parents also could not help. There was a spiritual problem that they could not do as they pleased. Therefore, I came to know the fact that our house had become like a plaything for Satan, like a playground. Uh, then, like today’s title, if problems came because we left God, can we not just meet God again? Why can mankind not meet God? That is the title of Lesson 2 today. Uh, like it is in number 1, mankind has left God, and if you look at Ephesians 2:1, it says, “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins.” It is not that you were dying in transgressions and sins, but it says He brought to life you who were dead. As we left God, our spirit ended up in a state of death. Just as a dead person can do nothing, a person whose spirit is dead can do nothing for spiritual salvation. They cannot make any spiritual effort. Originally the Spirit of God was together within us humans, but after the Genesis chapter 3 incident, while being deceived by Satan and committing sin, the Spirit of God left, and Satan seized our dead spirit. As Satan seized us, John 8:44: “You belong to your father, the devil.” Therefore, they cannot meet God on their own, and they cannot realize the Word of God on their own, and they have fallen into a state where they cannot resolve spiritual problems on their own. Now, however, as it is in number 2, because mankind was a spiritual being, there is an instinct to seek God. There is an instinct to seek a god, and an instinct to pray if a dangerous moment comes, and there is a spiritual instinct. Therefore, they try living kindly, and try living truthfully, and try living diligently, and then at the very last, they seek religion. Therefore, regardless of time or place, there is no country without religion. Even professors, doctors, and lawyers who have learned so much, even politicians, because of problems they cannot resolve on their own, visit a shaman, and bow before a tree, and bow before a rock, and look at the sky and bow, and visit a leader of a strange religious group to have a strange experience and bring and offer all their wealth there—the fact that such incomprehensible things occur is a phenomenon that comes out of the struggle of those who have left God. Therefore, number 3: the most urgent and most necessary thing for mankind is salvation. Salvation. The salvation of coming out of that entire Genesis chapter 3 and meeting God. Receiving liberation from all the authority of Satan, and receiving forgiveness from all sins, and coming out of all the background of Hell to obtain eternal life and become a child of God to live together with God—this blessing of salvation is the most urgent and most necessary blessing for mankind. Therefore, because a dead spirit can absolutely never receive salvation on its own, because mankind can absolutely never receive salvation through human effort, God sent the Christ, and it cannot be resolved through the effort of my own self whose spirit is dead, and it cannot be resolved through the help of other people, and God has never sent a hero to this earth who can overcome Satan. Acts 4:12: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” No other name by which we must be saved. I believe there is no other name but only Jesus Christ who can rescue us from the authority of Satan, rescue us from sin, and rescue us from the background of Hell. If you look at Ephesians 2:8 and 9, it says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith.” Even the faith you have is a gift from God. Thinking that way, when I think about the fact that 30 years ago from now I became a child of God and obtained eternal new life and came to enjoy the blessing of being with God, I don’t know how thankful I am. Now my parents and my siblings also all believe in Jesus as the Christ and have accepted Him as Savior to become children of God and are living as a family for world evangelization. Why can mankind not meet God? Because they are away from God, and the spirit is dead, and Satan is seizing our dead spirit, mankind can absolutely never meet God through human effort. Therefore, I believe that through the faith that believes in Jesus Christ, the Christ sent through the grace of God, you and I receive salvation and become children of God. Uh, if there is anyone who has not yet accepted Jesus as Savior, like we did the acceptance prayer at the last of last week, I hope you become you and I who live the most happy life by accepting Jesus as my Savior and becoming a child of God to enjoy the blessing of being with God. Yes, thank you. The third session of time to edit life with the Gospel—I will see you next time. Ah, thank you.

Why Are People Unhappy?

Romans 3:23. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.


Yes, it is nice to meet you. It is time to edit our lives with the Gospel. Gospel Letter Lesson 1: Why does mankind have no happiness? Why is mankind devoid of happiness? If you look at the Word of God in Romans 3:23, it says, “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Uh, there is probably no one in the world who does not want to be happy. Everyone wants to be happy. However, in reality, they are not happy, and in fact, most people live while struggling amidst many various types of suffering. Some people [face] family problems, some people health problems, some people economic problems, and some people live while facing great difficulties and hardships because of mental problems within themselves or their families. Because there is no true happiness, even though they work and have achieved many things, because there is no true happiness, they fall into alcohol, they fall into gambling, they fall into dancing or dissolute pleasures, and some people endure it until various problems come, such as depression, and if it gets worse later, manic-depression, panic disorder, and even reach a state of being like a spiritual epidemic. These kinds of regrettable things are happening all too much in this world right now. Uh, our country has the number one suicide rate among OECD countries; you know well that it is the number one country. Uh, the number one cause of death for those in their 10s, 20s, and 30s is not disease and not accidents, but is said to be suicide. Uh, looking lately, cases of depression, manic-depression, and panic disorder are becoming so, so numerous. Most of these are revealed during the adolescent years, and because they are not treated well, they become college students, they become young adults, and as they get married, the problems are even delivered to the home and later even to the children—we are living in a world that is all too regrettable. Exactly why does mankind have no happiness? Why is mankind devoid of happiness? Regarding that, the Word of God, the Bible, is speaking accurately. If you open Genesis chapter 1, if you look at Genesis 1:27 and 28, God has never created an unhappy human being. God has never created a human being who is depressed, anxious, and fallen into suffering. The Word says God originally created humans as beings who are so, so happy, possessing the image of God. Just as a fish is happy when living in the water, and a tree is happy when its roots are in the ground, a human created in the image of God was created to live happily while meeting God and being with God. God created humans to be happy only when they receive God’s grace and love, and conversely, live while loving, praising, and worshipping God. Therefore, He created humans to conquer and govern the world with the wisdom and power that God gives. Now, however, regrettably, if you look at Genesis chapter 3, the first humans of mankind, Adam and Eve, were deceived by the invisible Satan. Deceived by Satan who entered into the serpent, they committed the sin of disbelieving God, and falling into spiritual pride that they themselves could become like God, they received Satan’s temptation, committed sin, and ended up leaving God. They ended up leaving God. Just as problems come from the moment a fish leaves the water, and problems come from the moment a tree’s roots are pulled out of the ground, and problems come from the moment a young child leaves their parents, problems have come from the moment humans left God. From the moment they were deceived by Satan, committed sin, and left God—if you look at Ephesians 2:1, it says, “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins.” From the moment of leaving God, this spirit of us humans fell into a state of death. Now, as the spirit became a dead state, gradually, in our hearts, thoughts, and minds as well, many scars, difficulties, and sufferings come to occur, and because there is no peace in the heart, there is no sense of worth or satisfaction in life, so they drink alcohol again, and if they cannot sleep all night long, the balance of life is also broken, and as a result, because the stress in the heart eventually gives an influence even to the physical body, physically as well, they come to suffer through insomnia and difficulties of various diseases. In a word, leaving God, spiritual problems, mental problems, and physical problems come step by step, and they simply cannot be resolved. The Bible says regarding this: it is not a physical problem, but this problem—it is not such a physical problem that comes because our efforts are insufficient or our diligence is insufficient, but it says it is a spiritual problem that comes from leaving God. We humans are spiritual beings created in the image of God. The fundamental cause of every problem occurring to us humans is a spiritual problem. A spiritual problem. That is, exactly the problem of being deceived by Satan, committing sin, and leaving God is the spiritual problem, and because our spirits are dead and the invisible Satan and the background of Hell are seizing our dead spirits, even though people live that kindly, diligently, and doing their best, the spiritual problem is not resolved and the mental problem is not resolved. One day, you cannot overcome the disasters that seek out you and your family. In order to find a solution, sometimes they try believing in superstitions, and try visiting a shaman’s house, and try believing in religion and idols, but what is needed is the Gospel of returning to God. The Gospel of life that brings our dead spirits to life is needed. Through religion and idols, you can absolutely never resolve the fundamental problem, the spiritual problem of mankind. All these problems started from the time of the first humans of mankind, Adam and Eve, and have continued until now. If you look at Genesis chapter 3, from the moment they were deceived by Satan, committed sin, and left God, the scene of hiding to avoid God appears. I do not know if you have ever hidden to avoid someone. From that time, anxious and fearful hearts begin to arise. If you search Genesis chapter 1, no matter how much you search, if you look at the content of God’s creation, He has never created fear and anxiety. If you turn off the light, darkness seeks you out. Just as darkness is the phenomenon that appears in a place where there is no light, the phenomena that appear in a heart where there is no God, a heart where there is no grace of God, are fear, anxiety, and worry. Therefore, humans left God and spiritual problems came, and much darkness sought them out in their hearts as well, and they came to suffer much pain in their lives. So eventually, this problem that started from Genesis chapter 3 has come through our country, through our lineage, through our parents, and even to me. Therefore, because the fundamental problem is a spiritual problem, it can absolutely never be resolved through human effort and methods. Behind that, there is an entity of darkness that continuously brings this darkness and unhappiness. Regarding that entity, the Bible uses the words Satan, devil, and demon; if you look at Genesis 3:15, God said he is our enemy. The Satan, devil, and demon who deceive our human race into leaving God and being eternally destroyed in sin, Satan, and Hell—he is exactly the enemy of our lives, the enemy of our mankind, who has seized you and me and our families for tens of years. A fallen angel from heaven was kicked down to this earth, and because he cannot overcome God, he comes to attack Adam and Eve, and although Adam and Eve died, even now Satan seizes those who have left God, deceives them, and drives them into the midst of suffering and destruction, into the midst of Hell. Therefore, if you do not know God, eventually, while struggling with spiritual problems, mental problems, and physical problems, without true rest in the heart and without true peace, they continue to face difficulties and hardships, and eventually go to Hell, and it does not end with the person dying and going to Hell, but the spiritual problems and those scars that the person possessed are exactly spiritually passed down to the children. Therefore, I, while meeting many people, have seen lineages where people continue to die early, dying young; some lineages have families where divorce continues; some lineages have mental problems that continue without being cut off. Also, strangely, lineages where suicide continues to be frequent—these spiritual problems that started from Genesis chapter 3 are delivered to me through the lineage and through the parents, and if you do not have the spiritual strength to reject this and overcome it, you eventually end up suffering. You end up suffering. Therefore, because we can absolutely never resolve this problem through our efforts, through our methods, and through the peace of the world, God sent Jesus Christ to this earth. If you look at Romans 5:8, it says, “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Amen. God’s Son Jesus Christ came to this earth and, by shedding His blood and dying on the cross for all the sins of you and me, He took charge of every sin of ours in our place, and as evidence that He is the Son of God, He was resurrected in 3 days; He overcame the authority of Satan, the authority of death, and the authority of Hell and was resurrected to become eternal life. “I am the way and the truth and the life.” “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” The way to meet God is Jesus Christ, and the truth that is the solution to all fundamental problems and all problems of us humans is exactly Jesus Christ, and the eternal life that brings our dead spirits to life is exactly Jesus Christ. Therefore, the resurrected Jesus is now knocking on the door of our hearts with the Spirit of life. If you look at Revelation 3:20, it says, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” If we open the door of our heart and accept Jesus as my Savior, my life, and my true Owner, at this time Jesus enters our heart, and entering into our hearts with the Spirit of life, John 1:12: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” Amen. If you accept Jesus, you become a child of God. You come to obtain eternal life. From all Satan, original sin, curses, disasters, fate, and Hell, you come to receive eternal liberation in the name of Jesus Christ. Become a child of God by accepting Jesus as Savior, and for those who have already accepted, while confessing Jesus Christ as my true Owner, now, I bless you in the name of the Lord that you be victorious with the great conviction that Jesus is within me and I am a child of God. Let’s pray once. Uh, you may do it in your heart or out loud; it would be good if you pray together following my prayer. “God who is alive, I thank You. Not being able to meet God, not knowing God, and leaving God, I became the owner of my life, unable to resolve spiritual problems, and without knowing the existence of Satan, I have lived while struggling. For me who left God, for me who fell into original sin, and for me who fell into the invisible disasters, curses, and background of Hell, I believe in Jesus Christ who came to this earth. I believe that by shedding Your blood and dying on the cross for me, You took charge of all my sins in my place, were resurrected, overcame the authority of Satan and the authority of Hell, and became eternal life. I thank You for seeking out my heart at this time with the Spirit of life. I open the door of my heart. Into my heart, come as the true life, come as the true Savior, and coming as my true Owner, make me an eternal child of God as You promised, and give eternal new life to my dead spirit. Now as a child of God, being with God and walking with God, let me live while enjoying the true peace, true thanksgiving, and true joy that God gives. Today, right now, and forever, I love and praise the Lord who is together within me. In the name of Jesus Christ, who is eternally together within my heart, I pray. Amen.” Now, you have become a child of God. Ah, according to the promise of the Bible, if you believed in Jesus as the Christ and welcomed Him into your heart, according to the promise of the Bible, Jesus will be together within you eternally. I so, so much congratulate you on becoming a child of God, and I hope it becomes a day of a new start for the blessing of being with God.
