Distortion and Change

Prayer Journal: November 18, 2025
09. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 1:10-22

A long time ago, I went to the marketplace to evangelize. I went often because one of our deaconesses was there. She sold things like socks and towels. Right next to her, there was another shop that I passed by often, and I noticed that this person didn’t really “do” retail sales. He had employees and everything, but he wasn’t running the shop the same way. One day I realized why. Early in the morning, at a set appointment time, the goods needed in Seoul would come down, and all the neighborhood middle wholesalers who needed to buy clothes for their areas would gather there. They would buy everything and take it away. So this man would make several million won in the morning, close the store, and—this was long ago—go play golf. Our deaconess, on the other hand, how much did she earn on a single pair of socks? She made 100 won. There was no way to keep up with that. Once, I went to Japan for a conference and stayed there for several days. There was a store in front of where I was staying. I watched it for three days, and not a single customer went inside. The lights were on and someone was inside, but not one customer went in. I was so curious that I asked the missionary, “Nobody ever goes in or out of that store. Can they really do business like that?” The missionary told me that this was a store that had been in business for several generations. The customers order everything before the goods even arrive, and then the store just sends everything out immediately. The only staff there are people who do the delivery errands. Why am I telling you this? The gospel is 300%. Why is that? The gospel is 300% because it solves the past, the present, and the future all together. Mt Calvary, Mt Olive, and Mark’s upper room are 300%. The 7·7·7 are 300%. Right? And once this is established, your heavenly mandate, calling, and mission all come out. That is 300%. How should we do it? It must be done in what is rightful, inevitable, and absolute. With what content? Only, uniqueness, and re-creation. When do we do it? 24, 25, and eternity. That is what 300% means. Put simply, it is a very simple message. That is why, especially for our remnants, if you prepare even a little—if you have specialization, field-centeredness, and a bit of a system for the future—you become 300%. Our 3 concentrations, 3 settings, and 3 answers are that 300%. If I just prepare a little, it becomes that way. It is not difficult at all, so whatever you do should be done like that. You can start easily and finish easily. Simply ask, “What is the one thing I really must do?” and find that. Then ask, “What is absolutely needed in the field?” and find that. Then ask, “What is something I must surely do for the future?” and find that. If you continue to pray, your health will come, margin will come, and strength will come.

If this does not take place, you end up degenerating. Once something degenerates, it can no longer be used. But if you understand this, then change begins to happen. So even when it comes to temple construction, if you look at the cases of truly successful nations, the whole people carried it out over a long period of time—over a long, long time. There are even temples that took 400 years to build. That is an incredible scale. It means that the person who planned that temple really used their head well. They arranged it so that the congregation could give comfortably throughout their entire lifetime, and above that, they controlled the finances. That is why the entire people just threw themselves into it together. In some ways, that is even more important. So the phrase “300%” contains almost everything within it.

Received blessing
You need to know what blessings you have already received. When you know the blessings you have received, you also come to know the blessings you are going to receive. The blessings you have received are tremendous.

Genesis 3:15, 6:14, 12:1–3
Genesis 3:15—this is what I talked about in the first service. Genesis 6:14—building the ark. Genesis 12:1–3—these have all already been given. “Go to the land I will show you.” In other words, follow the covenant. “I will make you a source of blessing.” “Through you,” it says. “Through your offspring.” And then, fifth, what does He say? “No one will be able to stand against you.” Why? Because through you, all peoples must receive blessing. Because the gospel must be testified.

Introduction – Degeneration
Because they did not know this, they ended up degenerating. Who, especially, degenerated?

1. Egypt
Egypt as a nation degenerated. It was because of Joseph that the nation was saved. Because of Joseph, the forefathers and the future generations were all saved. They should have been thankful, but instead they degenerated. “Ah, Israel keeps growing. They keep increasing, so we have to get rid of them.” So in the end, they forced them into labor and did all kinds of things, and when that didn’t work, they said, “Kill all the baby boys when they are born.” That’s what they did. Next week we will see that the person who appeared in that time was Moses. Because they did not know the blessing, they could not help but degenerate like this. And then look again.

2. Israel
The Israelites themselves degenerated. While they were in Egypt, they should have truly enjoyed the great gospel and seen many changes, but one day they looked up and they had become slaves.

3. Satan
In the end, what is it? They ended up in the hands of Satan.

The land of Israel is a small strip of land. On one side is the Mediterranean Sea, and the Jordan River runs down the other side. That is the land of Israel, and it is divided. The northern kingdom is Israel, the southern kingdom is Judah. The capital of Judah is Jerusalem; the capital of Israel is Samaria. Who is above them? Assyria. There is also the Aramean kingdom. On this side to the right is Arabia. On the left side is Philistia. Further down is Egypt. This whole region is a battlefield. So if you want to attack here (Israel), you pass through there (Judah), and if you want to attack there (Judah), you pass through here (Israel). In this way, Israel is constantly under attack. When Israel receives answers, all of these places become doors. When Israel does not receive grace and has no strength, all of them become enemies. God placed Israel there and gave them the gospel. If Israel gains strength, the whole region becomes a road. It is the same right now. When you and our remnants receive answers and grace, everything becomes a road; but if I do not receive it, then everything becomes an enemy that torments me.

Main – Blessings to receive
So what does God want to do through Israel? He wants to give them blessings to receive. This is what must now bring change. It is a 300% change.

1. Exodus
First, as we read a bit today, God’s goal in this suffering is the Exodus.

2. Blessing of the wilderness
Second is the blessing to be received in the wilderness. This is simple.

3. Conquest of Canaan and the tabernacle
Third is the conquest of Canaan and the tabernacle. This is very important.

1. Exodus

1) Passover (salvation)
For this, what God prepared was the Passover—the day they escaped by putting the blood of the lamb on their doors. That is salvation.

2) Pentecost (power)
Then, along the way in the wilderness, the power of God was revealed. This is Pentecost. It is the Holy Spirit.

3) Feast of Ingathering (background)
When they came out of Egypt and walked the wilderness road, there was a great background—the Feast of Ingathering. This is the background of the throne. They walked with this strength.

2. Blessing of the wilderness – Ark of the Covenant
Along the wilderness road, there was something God absolutely gave them: follow the ark of the covenant. What does it mean to follow the ark of the covenant?

1) Stone tablets
Inside it were two stone tablets that never change. We call them the Ten Commandments. Those tablets were inside the ark of the covenant. The fact that they were engraved on stone means they will never disappear.

2) Protection (manna)
There was also a jar holding the manna by which God protected the Israelites. As they went along, God miraculously sent manna so that they would not starve to death, and the jar that held that manna was inside the ark.

3) Guidance
And there was one more thing inside. Aaron’s staff, which sprouted when it was stuck into the ground, was there. This means that God would guide the people of Israel through worship and through the Word. Aaron was not great in himself; Aaron was the priest who led the worship, so God caused his staff to sprout as a sign. As evidence, He showed it this way. So wherever the ark of the covenant moved, works arose. In our terms, this means that along the wilderness road God would lead them to complete victory by His Word and by His covenant. There are many other things, but the three feasts and the ark of the covenant are very important.

3. Conquest of Canaan – Tabernacle-centered
And then what is important is this: move everything centered on the tabernacle.

1) Tent of meeting
Everything they did was centered on gathering at this place, which is called the “tent of meeting.”

2) Tents
Each person’s own tent was pitched so that the entrance faced the temple, faced the tabernacle.

3) Holy articles
Especially, inside there were holy articles, all of which symbolized Christ—the lampstand, the bread, the water for washing hands, and all of it. The oil and everything else.

4) Ephod
And importantly, the priest was there 24 hours a day. So the servants of the Lord are 24. These priests wore an ephod. On that ephod were written the names of the twelve tribes that would save all the people. You understand what that means, right? All the servants of the Lord are to pray night and day, 24 hours, for the people of God.

5) Three courtyards
Even more important, that small tabernacle had three courtyards. This is important. So they moved everything in a tabernacle-centered way.

(True temple)
This is the reason we must build the true temple. Why must we build the true temple? Don’t worry—just pray. It must be a temple that properly keeps Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Ingathering. In the Most Holy Place is the ark of the covenant. In the Holy Place are all these holy articles, and the priest kept the lamp burning and prayed 24 hours a day. More importantly, at that time God revealed the three courtyards. That is everything. You begin receiving answers with this as your focus. So in one sense, this suffering is not just suffering; it is suffering that tells you about an amazing future.

Conclusion
So, holding onto this covenant, you begin to pray from now on. What does it really mean that we have received salvation?

1. Liberation
First, it means that you have been liberated from the twelve curses that could never be resolved. That is salvation.

2. Enjoyment
Second, salvation is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne. Right? Never forget this. Then all the blessings in the main content are contained within this.

3. Lordship
Third, and this is very important, our master has been changed. Your master is God. Right? So a person who truly receives answers to prayer has no need to worry. If you truly did not receive, then of course you should worry. Right? But if it is sure that answers are coming, there is no time to be anxious. If there are no answers, then of course you must seek and struggle. But if God is truly your master and is continually giving you answers, then your own insistence is unnecessary. Why? Because your level is not the same as God’s level; God’s level is far higher. The result is completely different. So, for today’s conclusion, this morning I finished next week’s small-group study, and now I am going to do this week’s.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You that in today’s temple construction dedication service we could confirm Your Word. Let the 300% answers arise that allow us to see both the grace we have already received and the blessings we are going to receive. Let us hold onto today, as a covenant, the answers that we will receive throughout our lifetime. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

 

Believe That You Have Received It

Mark 11:20-24.  In the morning, as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots. 21 Peter remembered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!”

22 “Have faith in God,” Jesus answered. 23 “Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. 24 Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

In Today’s Word, Jesus teaches us what prayer truly is. Prayer is not human effort reaching upward; it is the promise of God reaching into our lives. It is the covenant privilege made possible by the finished work of Christ. Because of this, prayer is the greatest blessing next to salvation itself, and nothing is impossible for the one who prays in faith.

Your prayer is powerful and effective simply because you are in Christ. God, who hears your prayer, transcends time and space. His power has no limit. His wisdom cannot be measured. One second of God’s intervention is greater than one hundred years of human effort.

Nothing you do for others has more impact than prayer. Prayer is the most powerful way to carry God’s blessings into another person’s life. And because God sees the heart, prayer must begin by surrendering our motives and seeking His good, pleasing, and perfect will.

Jesus said that faith-filled prayer can move a mountain. You may feel weak, unqualified, or powerless, but when you pray in faith, the power of God manifests as the answer to your prayer. How is this possible? Because when we pray, the Holy Spirit comes upon us:

“If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13)

When you receive the Word and pray according to it, the Holy Spirit moves to fulfill God’s plan in your life. This was the promise Jesus gave before He ascended: “Do not leave Jerusalem… you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 1:4–5)

The disciples believed this promise and devoted themselves to prayer (Acts 1:14). God fulfilled it: “All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit” (Acts 2:1–4). Nothing can stop the Spirit’s work when God’s people pray.

When the persecuted church prayed, the Holy Spirit filled them with boldness (Acts 4:29–31). When Philip prayed and proclaim Christ, the Spirit brought revival to Samaria and “there was great joy in that city” (Acts 8:4–8). When Peter prayed, the Spirit came upon Cornelius’ household, opening the gospel to Rome (Acts 10:45).

In the same way, when you pray, the Spirit will work regardless of your ability or circumstance because “you have an anointing from the Holy One” (1 John 2:20). This is your greatest privilege. God’s power does not depend on your strength; His answers do not hinge on your qualifications. What matters is the Spirit who lives in you and works through you.

So find your rhythm of enjoying God throughout the day. In the morning—let the Triune God restore your soul and body (Psalm 5:3). At midday—connect everything to prayer (Psalm 23:1–6). In the evening—commune with Him and find all the answers in the Word (Psalm 17:3).

But what did Jesus mean by, “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it?”

The power of prayer rooted in the covenant is immeasurably great because it carries the very power of creation of God’s Word. From the moment you hold onto the covenant and pray, answers immediately begin, even if the visible fulfillment seems to come much later.

Moses, David, and even Paul experienced answers that unfolded over decades or even centuries, yet those answers were already in motion from the very beginning. The covenant of the gospel contains what was hidden before eternity and promises something that will remain forever. The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne are fulfilled not suddenly at the end, but continuously from the moment you embrace the covenant.

Many people receive answers without even realizing it, noticing only much later. Their descendants often see the results and acknowledge God’s precise work. This unrecognized fulfillment is pure grace. But now, with understanding, holding onto the covenant becomes not only grace but mission.

From the moment you take hold of a lifelong covenant, God’s works begin, and they continue without ceasing. What matters most is recognizing that covenant answers start immediately—not someday—and that living with awareness turns grace into a mission-filled life.

This is how you enjoy 24-hour prayer, and when you do, you will begin to see God’s precise timing for every part of your life. Prayer opens the door to experiencing eternal blessings here on earth. Walk before the Lord today—moment by moment, breath by breath.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for the name of Jesus Christ—the name above every name. By the power of His name, I know I will overcome the world and lead many back to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The True Source (the 21 Essentials) and the Answer of 25

2023.10.08 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1, 3, 8

There are 21 answers that we need the most.
Prayer → the true source – spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light, disciples

When you receive this answer of the true source, the very first thing you gain is spiritual strength. This part is not something visible to the eye, but it is the most important. It is also hard to explain to others. Yet the most important strength is spiritual strength. It is hard to explain this strength. It is hard for me to explain it even for myself, so it is difficult to explain it to someone else. But if you have this spiritual strength, you can do many things. From that time on, God begins to give you much wisdom and knowledge from above. In the case of Joseph, he knew what no one in the world knew and he gave them the answer. If you truly pray, this kind of strength arises. From then on, you also gain physical strength that becomes a great strength both spiritually and physically. So if you only know this one thing called prayer, you receive these: spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light. From then on, the economy of light begins to arise in you. The economy of light is different from ordinary economy; it is something God has prepared to give only to those who believe. From that time on, the disciples whom God has prepared in various places begin to arise. How can this happen?

▣ Introduction

Today we must understand a little of the method.

1. Mt Calvary (John 19:30)
Before we understand the method, there are three very important things. On Mt Calvary, Christ said on the cross, “It is finished.” He said that everything was finished. What did He finish? He finished many things, but we mainly speak of three.
Hell X, disasters X, Satan X
We could neither go to nor enjoy the kingdom of God, but He completely broke the authority of hell. On this earth, disasters keep arising; He ended them. Satan, unseen, kept driving people into destruction; He ended this. The One who finished these three we call “the Christ.”
Prophet, priest, king
He came as the true King who defeated Satan. He came as the true Priest who put an end to disasters. He came as the true Prophet who opened the way to meet God and announced the way of salvation.
Christ (anointing oil)
These three terms combined are called “the Christ.” The word “Christ” means “the Anointed One.” Oil was poured only on the king, the priest, and the prophet. So He fulfilled all three. Because all of this is contained in Him, it is “finished.”

2. Mt Olive
Then the second great mystery He gave was Mt Olive. Many things were spoken there, but He especially spoke of this:
Throne, kingdom – work
He spoke of the throne and the work of the kingdom of God. This becomes an amazing standard. When we ask, “What prayer topics should I hold? What kind of things are answers?” the things of the throne, the kingdom, and its work are what take place as answers.

3. Mark’s upper room
Holding this covenant, they gathered in Mark’s upper room. What was given there?
Strength
Many things were given, but He gave the strength of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. These three are extremely important.

▣ Main

Then how can I actually receive this answer?

1. Daily concentration
What must I concentrate on every day in order to receive this answer?
[ 1·3·8 ]
So, every day you concentrate on Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit. When you do this, the answer of the true source—spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light, disciples—arises. Even on the Lord’s Day, if you truly gain strength in deep prayer, these works take place.

2. Daily confirmation
Next, there is something you must confirm every day. What do you confirm daily through prayer?
[ Heavenly mandate · calling · mission ]
When they came down from Mt Olive and gathered, they constantly confirmed their heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. Do not go somewhere trying to “do something”; instead, discover this heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. Wherever you go, you must surely find what God is truly commanding you to do. Whether you find it or not, that prayer itself becomes the greatest prayer.

3. Daily enjoyment
As you do this, something you enjoy daily in prayer begins to come. What is it?
[ Rightfulness · inevitability · absoluteness ]
Rightfulness, inevitability, absoluteness. Even when something happens, do not be discouraged; what was bound to come has come. Rightfulness, inevitability, absoluteness. And if you live this way, no one will criticize you. It is what you naturally must do. Then you ask, “What is the one thing I absolutely must do? What is God’s absolute plan?” Even with just this, many answers will arise.

Before I came to this church—not my home church, but before coming here—I served in five churches in between as a staff pastor. The very first thing I did wherever I went was this: in almost every church, the membership roll was not properly organized. So whenever I arrived, I would naturally start by organizing the membership roll—because I was new. While doing that, there were always people who had been there before me. I would ask them, and there were pastors who had been there longer, so I would ask them, “Is this information correct?” If you ask about ten entries, quite a few of them are, “Ah, that needs to be corrected.” There are many. Just by doing that, I began to see who I needed to visit. “Ah, I need to call this person.” That starts to become clear. From then on, the doors of evangelism began to open. From that time, I began to see what was needed and also saw God’s absolute plan.

4. Daily witnessing
Then you become a witness who sees important things every day. What is it?
[ One heart · whole heart · continuation ]
You begin to hold onto one method only; there is nothing else. One heart, whole heart, continuation. Why? Because you have discovered something absolute. No other method is needed. One heart, whole heart, continuation. If you do this, answers are bound to come wherever you are.

5. Daily discovery
Then you begin to discover three things every day. What are they?
[ Only · uniqueness · re-creation ]
“Only” becomes visible. This is how answers come. Uniqueness and re-creation become visible. If you continue in this prayer alone, these follow.

6. Daily answers
Then what follows? Real answers come.
[ 24 · 25 · eternity (00) ]
You begin to see answers every day, and they become 24, 25, and eternity. The greatest answer to prayer is that you are able to pray 24 hours. Then in you, healing and everything else will take place. From then on, something very important begins to come out.

7. Daily thanksgiving
Your destiny begins to be changed.
[ Imprint · root · nature ]
Imprint. The reason some things are not working for me is because the wrong things have been imprinted. This begins to change. The reason my body is not well is because something unhealthy has entered into my body. Especially when what is imprinted in your brain begins to change, many works arise. What has been imprinted takes root, and what has taken root becomes your nature.
These are exactly the 21.

▣ Conclusion

What is even more important is the conclusion that comes from this.
[ 3, 6, 11 ]
Those who have not received salvation are under the temptation of Satan and remain in Genesis 3, 6, and 11. If you keep living like this (the main content), what happens?
[ 1, 3, 8 ]
This is why we continually hold to Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit (the introduction). When the three-day weekend age opens, we will probably have to start from this main content first. Then in your studies, work, and occupation, works will surely arise. And your health is surely set to be restored.
(5 strengths)
All of these together are called the five strengths. These arise.

So even today, on the Lord’s Day, if you simply pray properly and hold to the Word properly during worship, you will see answers during the six days of the week. You must surely, while worshiping today, find the answers you can enjoy over the next six days. When you gain spiritual strength, things that people in the world do not know—tremendous power—begins to arise. That is why so many people find living in the world so difficult. They have no strength. It is too hard to earn money, too hard to work, too hard even to live. But when you gain this strength, all of that begins to change.

I bless you in the name of Jesus that through the prayer of even one of you today, many evidences will be relayed to others and that you will enjoy this blessing all day long. On the Lord’s Day, you must hold to the Word and, in your empty times, truly enter into much prayer. May the five strengths be restored. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let today be the day when the five strengths are restored. Let us gain spiritual strength and enjoy today the strength that saves the world, which the world does not know. Let there be works of healing today, even for the diseases we do not know about, in the midst of worshiping all day. Let there be spiritual works today that transcend time and space during this worship. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Joseph’s Confession of Faith

Prayer Journal: November 17, 2025
09. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 50:15-21

▣ Introduction

Thank you. Today, looking at Joseph’s confession of faith, we must receive grace.

1. In times of despair, when you have lost yourself – discover the accurate blessing God is giving you. In reality, Joseph became a slave in the midst of despair. There are times when a person falls into despair and says, “I do not even know who I am anymore.” Joseph was suddenly sold as a slave, so he had no hope and did not even know who he was.

1) If you just grit your teeth and endure, it becomes a sickness. At such a time, if you just force yourself to endure, it becomes a sickness.

2) If you leave it alone, you lose everything. When despair comes to us and we just say, “I don’t know,” and leave it as it is, we eventually lose everything.

3) If you struggle and thrash around, it becomes an even greater loss. On the other hand, if you struggle and thrash around, it becomes an even greater loss. There are times when we fall into exactly this kind of situation. In such a time, Joseph discovered the accurate blessing that God was giving.

4) Because it is hard to find the accurate blessing God is giving, people hold onto a wrong faith, have a wrong assurance, and seek wrong experiences. But this blessing is difficult to find. Most people end up holding onto a wrong kind of faith. When answers do not come, they think, “I guess God does not answer my prayers.” Many people also cling to a wrong assurance. And because you can have “experiences” anywhere, they try to live by those wrong experiences. This is important.

2. How to discover God’s blessing in times of despair – hold onto the accurate covenant given to your ancestors. When despair comes to us, how can we discover God’s blessing? That is the key. You must absolutely do this. When great despair comes to me, how do I discover God’s blessing there? This is very important. There is a covenant that God gave to the ancestors. We must find the Word, and there is a covenant He gave to the forefathers. There were four great incidents. What were they? He made them know the covenant through these incidents.

1) When they were seized by Satan in the Garden of Eden (Genesis 3) – the offspring of the woman, Christ who will crush the serpent’s head, must become mine (Genesis 3:15). In the Garden of Eden, they were completely seized by Satan. At that time, God gave the covenant: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” You must hold onto this covenant. Christ will crush the authority of Satan. This must become your own.

2) The incident of the flood of Noah (Genesis 6) – “If you enter the ark, you will live. Build an ark for yourself, for your descendants, and for life” (Genesis 6:14). Then a second incident arose: the flood of Noah. At that time, God said, “If you enter the ark, you will live.” “Build an ark. Build an ark for yourself. Build an ark for your descendants. Build an ark to preserve life.” A very important answer was given.

3) The Tower of Babel incident (Genesis 11) – “Leave Ur of the Chaldeans and go to the land I will show you. You will be the source of blessing, and all nations will be blessed” (Genesis 12:1-3). Next, the Tower of Babel incident occurred. It collapsed completely. At that time, God said, “Leave Ur of the Chaldeans. Go to the land I will show you. I will make it so that no one can stand against you. I will make you a source of blessing. Through your offspring, all nations will be blessed.” He gave this promise.

4) Mount Moriah (Genesis 22) – the ram instead of Isaac, blessing for all peoples on earth, the gate of their enemies (Genesis 22:13-18). And what was the final incident? On Mount Moriah, God led Abraham to offer Isaac. But if he offered Isaac, Isaac would die. So to make sure they would never forget, God prepared a ram. With that, He gave a promise: “Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed. Through your offspring you will possess the gate of their enemies.” This was given.

This field came to Joseph. Joseph held tightly to this covenant. You cannot hold onto a wrong covenant. He firmly held onto the accurate covenant. Just as the Word was given to you today, if you simply hold onto that, anyone can hold onto it correctly. Why? You must believe this: God has given you the authority to overcome the power of darkness. He has given you the blessing of building the ark that blocks disasters. He has promised that you will not remain under the collapsed Tower of Babel, but that you will leave Ur of the Chaldeans and go to the land of the covenant to do world evangelization. And the key that changes that destiny is the ram. So He said that through the one who realizes this He will surely accomplish world evangelization. What do you think? Joseph came to Egypt as a slave. This is exactly that.

3. When you find the accurate answer, your thoughts change. Once you find the accurate answer, your way of thinking changes first. From today, you must receive the blessing of having your thoughts changed.

1) The death of his mother – a foothold. Even the death of his mother became a foothold.

2) The threats of his brothers – preparation of a vessel. The threats of his brothers became the complete preparation of a vessel for Joseph.

3) Prison – the road to success. He was even thrown into prison because of Potiphar’s wife. That was actually the road to success.

4) The betrayal of the cupbearer – God’s timetable. In the prison, the cupbearer betrayed him. That was God’s timetable. In this way, his thoughts were completely changed.

※ If you remain in excuses, scars, complaints, and lamentation, you will never receive answers. When I look at remnants, most of them make excuses: “My family is like this, my parents are like that…” That is what they say. I tell them, “If you do not change that way of thinking, you will never, ever receive answers.” Right? You cannot receive them that way. Your thinking must change. If Joseph had been trapped in the scar of saying, “I have no mother—how am I supposed to live?” and spent his time weeping in that scar, he would not have been able to do anything. If he had lamented, “Why would my brothers do this to me?” nothing could happen. If he had cried out, “I did nothing wrong—why am I being sent to prison?” there would be no way forward.

4. The confession of faith of one who holds the accurate covenant. When you, who now hold the accurate covenant, make a confession of faith:

1) Answers for 100 years, 1000 years, and eternity – a witness. That confession will bring answers for 100 years, 1000 years, and even for eternity. You must believe this. This is what we call a “witness.”

2) It brings about tremendous works – world evangelization. The confession you make will bring about tremendous works. That is what we call world evangelization. You must not lose hold of this. If today you hold onto the accurate covenant and change your thinking, amazing things will take place.

3) It changes destinies and brings about a work that shines light in the darkness. You must remember this again. The confession of faith made by a person who holds the accurate covenant is not just any confession. It brings answers for 100 years, 1000 years, and eternity, it changes destinies, and it brings about works that shine light into the darkness. Joseph showed this as evidence.

▣ Main – Joseph’s confession of faith

1. The confession of faith made in the family – it saves the family line. First is the confession of faith made in the family. What was Joseph’s confession of faith in his family?

1) The sun, moon, and stars bowed down to me – world evangelization. He confessed that the sun, moon, and stars bowed down to him. His brothers came to hate him intensely. They thought he had gone crazy. He was speaking about world evangelization. His brothers were so angry that they cursed and rebuked him.

2) “It was not you who sold me, but God who sent me ahead of you” – the covenant is surely fulfilled. Then one day, as you know, his brothers tried to kill Joseph but instead sold him. How was this fulfilled? No one knew. Jacob wondered, “Did Joseph really die? What happened to him?” Parents have a sense when a child dies. Joseph had just vanished. Then one day, an amazing event took place. Joseph became the prime minister of Egypt, the man who moved the world. His brothers were shocked. They trembled in fear. At that time he said, “It was not you who sold me, but God who sent me ahead of you.” This news was delivered to his father. What do you think Jacob thought when he heard this? God’s covenant is surely fulfilled. Right?

3) Israel – Jacob who blessed Pharaoh. In this way, the entire family of Israel, seventy people in all, came down to Egypt. They were given the safest land, the land of Goshen. The aged Jacob came leaning on his staff, leading the seventy members of his family into Egypt. His son was prime minister. When he arrived, leaning on his staff, and the family of this powerful prime minister came, Egypt must have been in an uproar. Even the king himself honored this family. When Pharaoh welcomed Jacob’s family and met him, the Bible records one thing: this Jacob is Israel. Right? As soon as he met Pharaoh, Jacob lifted his hands and blessed him.

※ The confession of faith made while holding the accurate covenant is surely fulfilled. It was the gospel that made Joseph victorious. The confession of faith that you make while holding the accurate covenant is surely fulfilled. This was not Joseph making himself victorious; it was the gospel that made Joseph victorious.

2. The confession of faith made in the field – the blessing of the throne appears and the field is saved. Second, the confession of faith made in the field brings out the blessing of the throne. What happened in the field? The confession in the field is not just with the mouth. It is seen.

1) Potiphar saw that the Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in everything. “The Lord was with Joseph and gave him success in everything he did.” “Potiphar saw that the Lord was with Joseph and that the Lord gave him success in everything he did.” The blessing even reached the fields. As long as Joseph managed things, God blessed even the fields. These tremendous evidences began to appear. Today, if you hold onto the accurate covenant, every prayer you offer will surely be fulfilled. Turn despair into God’s blessing. You must not merely endure. Since God’s plan is surely within your despair, turn it into God’s blessing.

2) The warden entrusted all the work of the prison to Joseph. This Joseph, who had been falsely accused, was thrown into prison. But again, works arose there. The warden in that prison entrusted all the work of the prison to Joseph. Such things were taking place.

3) The incident of the officials being put into prison – it became the event that changed Joseph’s destiny and the world. In the midst of this, as you know, the king’s officials, the cupbearer and baker, were put into prison. This became the amazing turning point that changed Joseph’s destiny and the world.

※ You are the remnant, the pilgrim, and the conqueror – the confession made while holding the accurate covenant reveals tremendous power. When you hold the accurate covenant and pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the power of darkness is broken (Luke 10:19, Mark 3:15). You are the remnant, the pilgrim, and the conqueror. The confession you make—your confession while holding the accurate covenant—reveals tremendous power. You must believe this. So Jesus promised, “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions.” As soon as He called them, He said, “I have given you authority to drive out demons.” This worship today is where you hold this covenant and pray. Even during worship, works arise. When you hold onto this covenant accurately and pray in the name of Jesus Christ, the power of darkness is broken.

3. The confession of faith of the fulfilled covenant – it becomes world evangelization, the work of the kingdom of God. Third, the confession of faith made with the fulfilled covenant becomes world evangelization. This is not just any confession of faith. The confession made in the family saved the family line. The confession made in the field saves the field. The confession of faith made with the fulfilled covenant ultimately carries out world evangelization. It accomplishes the work of the kingdom of God.

1) “God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires” (Genesis 41:16) – “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God?” (Genesis 41:38). It is connected to world evangelization. So when Joseph met Pharaoh, the first conversation is recorded. Pharaoh asked, “Can you interpret dreams?” Joseph replied, “I cannot do it.” This is a very precious statement. “But God will give Pharaoh the answer he desires.” Then Joseph explained the dream, the interpretation, and even the policy. At that time, the king said, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God, in whom there is such wisdom and power?” “Let us make this man prime minister. Let all the people and the nation move according to his word.” So Joseph personally sold the grain. As prime minister, he had to greet all the important figures and leaders who came from each country. He sold them the grain. This became an amazing event connected to world evangelization. The accurate covenant you hold and the confession you make reveal amazing power. You must believe this. This is why you worship again today. The prayer you offer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ is set to break the darkness.

2) “It was not you who sold me, but God who sent me ahead of you to save lives” (Genesis 45:5). While Joseph was doing this, people from all over the world came to buy grain—and his brothers came as well. Joseph wore splendid garments as prime minister, so his brothers did not recognize him. Who would imagine that the brother they had sold as a slave had become prime minister? They did not even think of it; they simply came to buy grain. Joseph saw them and recognized that they were his brothers. What do you think he did? The Bible records that before revealing himself to them, Joseph went into an inner room and wept loudly. Then he came out and spoke to his brothers, telling them that he was Joseph. His brothers were shocked. They trembled and begged for their lives. At that time, Joseph said, “It was not you who sold me, but God who sent me ahead of you to save lives. Do not be afraid.”

3) “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good; I will take responsibility for your children” (Genesis 50:20-21). The passage we read today goes even further. At last, Israel—Jacob—passed away. He gave instructions for his bones to be carried up later and left a will, and when Jacob died, Joseph wept loudly over his father for many days. His brothers became afraid. They thought, “Joseph’s weeping as prime minister is not just ordinary grieving. Now we are finished. He spared us only for our father’s sake; now that our father is gone, we are dead.” For they had done great evil. At that time, Joseph spoke the words recorded in today’s passage: “You intended to harm me,” he said, acknowledging their evil, “but God intended it for good. Do not be afraid.” And he added, “I will take responsibility for all of your children.” This is Joseph’s confession up to this point. God’s amazing evidences began to appear.

▣ Conclusion – What you must carry with you today

1. One in whom the Spirit of the Lord dwells – cultivate 300% strength (fullness of the Holy Spirit). Especially for our young adults, there will be many times when the world outside feels dark. And when our remnants go out and begin to live in the world, there will be times when they feel completely at a loss. You must build up strength. Become “one in whom the Spirit of the Lord dwells”—in simple terms, cultivate 300% strength. That is the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

2. Every path is the journey – go without fear. Build up that strength and go. Go without fearing anything. Every path you walk is part of the journey.

3. In my difficulties and crises – discover the accurate covenant. Answers will come for 100 years, 1000 years, and eternity. So you must remember this today. What are my difficulties? You must never lose hold of that question. What crisis am I in right now? Do not try to avoid it or force your way through it; you must discover the accurate covenant there. You must have this experience. Only then can you go as a witness to save others. The covenant you hold in this way will receive answers forever. It is truly mysterious. I have testified dozens of times. The covenant I held onto in childhood has continued to this day.

1) Disease – healing people with spiritual problems all over the world.

2) Poverty – restoring the economy of light to the level of world evangelization.

3) Inability – world evangelization. In childhood, the things that hit me the hardest were these: “Why are people suffering so much from sickness? Why is there so much poverty? And now that I go to church, why is it that the church cannot evangelize and has no power?” In that, I saw God’s Word. I did nothing else—I simply held onto the Word. If God is the Creator, how can it be right for me to remain in poverty? If God is almighty, how can it be that sickness renders a person completely powerless? From the beginning to the end, God speaks of world evangelization; how can it be right that the church is unable to evangelize? I realized that I had been holding onto the wrong covenant. I did only one thing: “Ah, I have held onto the wrong covenant. I must hold onto God’s accurate covenant.” World evangelization is God’s will. Right? Restoring the economy of light to the level of world evangelization is God’s will. Healing people with spiritual problems all over the world is God’s will. I only held onto the covenant, and answers kept coming. Joseph held onto the covenant of world evangelization, which his brothers failed to hold, and works arose. In the remainder of your life, you must have this experience. The covenant you hold sometimes comes as an answer for 100 years, sometimes as an answer for 1000 years, and sometimes as an eternal answer. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today, as you worship all day, this will be a day of blessing in which you discover what is truly important. Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank You, God. Let Joseph’s confession of faith become my confession today. Let me see Your absolute plan in the midst of despair. Let me hold onto Your accurate covenant and work with Your power. Let today become that timetable. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The First Thing to Teach Posterity

2025.11.16 Sunday 2nd Service
237 Missions Dept. Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1-9

The power of the covenant – (Romans 16:25-27)
Thank you. The question is: how great is the power of the covenant? Because the covenant is God’s Word, it carries the power of creation. From the moment you hold onto this covenant, answers begin. And He is saying that He will now reveal what was hidden before eternity. Because this is the covenant of the gospel, He is saying He will give what will remain forever and ever.

[ Moses – age 80, 40 years ]
There is something you must think about here today. Moses held onto the covenant, but the works arose when he was 80 years old. And it took 40 years to travel the wilderness. That is how it was.

[ David – 15 to 20 years ]
Also, David held onto the covenant, and it was fulfilled after about 15 to 20 years.

[ Paul – 250 (313) ]
Paul even spoke about world evangelization, and it was fulfilled after 250 years. It was fulfilled when Paul was no longer there.

So how should we understand this? We held onto the covenant, and then do answers come only after such a long time? That is a misunderstanding. From the moment you hold onto the covenant, continuous answers come, and they continue all the way to 250 years. This was in AD 313. It is not that Moses received no answer and only finally received one at 80. Answers continued to be fulfilled, and at the age of 80, the D-day came.

[ Bartizan, journey, guidepost ]
In the end, when we look back, we see that the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne were all fulfilled. So this began from the moment you held onto the covenant. But most people receive this without knowing. Most people think there are no answers and then suddenly receive them.

[ Covenant – lifelong ]
Today, among us, there are those who know this covenant and hold onto it. When they held onto a lifelong covenant, works began from that moment. Many people receive without even knowing. As you are holding onto the covenant, most people have no idea what is taking place. Many people only realize it much later, after time has passed, and say, “Ah?” Some even realize it when their future generations see it and say, “Oh? Our mother and father prayed, and how is it that the answer has come this precisely?”

[ Grace ]
Even so, whether they realize it or not, the exact covenant is fulfilled at that time. The fact that we received it without knowing—that is grace.

[ Mission ]
But you now begin with understanding. This becomes a mission. We received salvation by grace. In one sense, without fully knowing. But now that we know, it is no longer just that. From this point on, it becomes a mission. So from the moment you hold onto this covenant, it begins to be fulfilled.
Among these, what is most important?
「What to teach the next generation first」 (Acts 17:1-9)
In 237 missions, what does God love most? The future generation. In one sense, the older people are footholds. The works will take place in the future generation. Because God hid them and then sent them, it is completely set for the Word to be fulfilled. If so, you must carry this for the future generation in your heart. What must you teach them most? What is the very first thing to teach the next generation? You must absolutely confirm this. This is the covenant we will hold today. Acts 17:1-9. What must we teach?

▣ Introduction
The covenant you hold onto in childhood lasts for life and continues. Especially the children among the 5,000 tribes have virtually no cultural benefits. So in one sense, the gospel can go in to them directly.
I asked myself, “What is evangelism in childhood?” For me, evangelism was so difficult. Pastors on the pulpit kept telling us to evangelize, but I did not know what to do. So they printed tracts and said, “Take a bundle as you go and give them out.” They told us to hand the tracts to people so they could read them at home. Even that was hard for me. Roaming around delivering tracts, without even knowing the gospel—this was so difficult. I was immature and did not understand evangelism. So I would put three tracts into some homes—just to finish faster. That is how hard evangelism was for me. “Why is evangelism so difficult that it does not work in this church? Is it really this hard?”
And why are our good, precious adults so tormented by poverty? You might say it was the times, but why are they so tormented by sickness? These three questions became my covenant in childhood, and they have continued to this day. It is amazing. The covenant that remnants hold in childhood determines their entire lives.

  1. Developed countries – 40%
    The situation is quite serious now. Not all, but among the future generation in developed countries, in some schools about 40% of students are on medication. These are their own statistics. That is how it is in America. There are even schools where up to 40% of the students are told, “Let the teachers administer medication and make them study.” This is no small problem.
  2. Developing countries – a state of abandonment
    In developing countries, children are in a completely abandoned state. Not just neglected, but completely abandoned. It is beyond imagination. Among African countries, Kenya is a relatively developed nation. Nairobi in Kenya is a famous city. When I went there, thousands of children were roaming around. That is the capital city. So I asked, “Do these children not go to school?” They said no. I asked the children, “Why are you not in school?” and they would not even answer. So I asked again, and though not all, they said, “There are schools.” But in the current situation, even though there are school buildings, there are no teachers to teach. So thousands of children wander the streets. I thought, “This is not a normal situation.” The international community says they are doing something, but I wonder what, because people are literally starving to death. Many are sick from drinking contaminated water. For those of us in a developed country like Korea, it is hard to understand. When you open your refrigerator, it is filled with clean water—how can you understand? But those children drink dirty, stagnant water.
  3. Children who are in Korea
    More importantly, we must think about the children who are here in Korea. The teams working with multiethnic ministry and 237 work must think fast and correctly about this. These children here in Korea have parents, of course. The multiethnic families who have come here are often unable to clearly talk about how difficult their situation is. Whatever their hardships may be, we do not know. So those who are doing 237 ministry must be most aware of these things.
    They might not say it out loud, but the issues that come up most often are visas—perhaps the biggest issue. You must be somewhat specialized to handle this. Next is employment. Then, following that, come issues with the children’s education. These are the kinds of problems that arise. And if the visas do not work out, the family cannot stay together and must go back. They are all struggling with the same concerns. Recently, I listened to an interview President Lee Jae-myung had with some scientists. In that interview, a foreigner stood up and asked a question. He said he was studying here for his PhD, but his current visa did not allow his children to stay with him. So he was in a situation where he would have to go back. I do not know the exact visa conditions, but he said this in front of the president.
    We must care for such people like family within the church. It is not that they are thinking, “We must get help from everyone,” but they have real difficulties, and we must not be ignorant of them. We must pray together and walk with them.
    I mentioned this once before: some people came to Korea to get married. Among them were those who had been deceived. Some had already been married before and had children in their home countries. Then they married again and came to Korea. After living with their Korean husbands and seeing how good they were, they eventually shared their situation. Their husbands said, “All right,” and brought the children over. But those children could not legally enroll in school. And there are tens of thousands of such children. I was shocked. “So this is how it is.” If I had known, I would have started a school right away. Those children’s school would not even need elaborate facilities. Just gather them and teach them.
    This is how we must raise the future generation. God has hidden treasures there. So at least in our church, what must we teach the next generation?

▣ Main

  1. Acts 17:3 [ Christ ]
    First, in verse 3 of chapter 17, he gives an explanation about Christ. He explained about Christ, and we must clearly make Christ known to the children. We must clearly explain the term “Christ.” This term is the way, the truth, and the life that leads to the Triune God. This word “Christ” is extremely important.

1)Perfection
So we must teach the perfection of Christ.

(1) John 8:56
To solve our eternal past, what is first? The Christ who existed before eternity. In John 8:56, what does He say? “Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” This is an astounding statement. The Jews lost their minds when they heard it. “How old are you?” they asked. They did not know that Christ had been prophesied before eternity and that knowing this name alone would bring salvation. It is an astounding name.
Someone once wrote to me, saying, “Pastor, when you said in your message that Christ solved my past, I was so thankful.” That is right.

(2) John 1:14
In John 1:14, He became flesh, taking on a human body, and came to save people.

(3) Acts 3:6
Even now, as in Acts 3:6, when we command in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, works arise. What is this? The resurrected Christ. Even now, we can use that authority in His name.

(4) Revelation 20:1-15
It does not end there. He has also solved the problems of the future. Christ will come again as the Lord of the Second Coming. In Revelation 20:1-15 we find the record of Christ who will come again as the Lord of the Second Coming.

(5) Revelation 21:1-17
In Revelation 21:1-17, we see the eternal Christ who will stand as the Judge forever. In other words, if that person is a child whom God has chosen, then the moment this one word enters them, works arise completely.
The ones in whom the least works occur are often those who have attended church a long time—because they do not know. They have been in church too long and are spiritually tormented. But someone who has been spiritually tormented for a long time receives Christ and is finished. That person stakes their life. Some are constantly tormented by suicidal thoughts and hear voices. When they believe and receive Jesus Christ, works arise. That is why shamans often sincerely believe—because they have experiences. After great suffering, they receive Christ and answers come. Of course, Christ is also the complete answer for you.

2)Fullness of the Holy Spirit
So He guides you completely from beginning to end. He also guides your future. He promised this. Right? “He will teach you all things and will tell you what is yet to come.” This is what we call the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, He gives this kind of strength.

3)7·7·7 300%
Not only that—what else? He gives you the bartizan, journey, and guidepost so that you can succeed 300%. The remnants among the multiethnic peoples whom God has prepared will have all darkness crumble before this one word, Christ. We have heard the word “Christ” so often that we say, “What, Christ?” But in darkness, it is the perfect light.

  1. Acts 17:2 [ The perfection of worship and prayer ]
    Second, what must we teach? Verse 2 of chapter 17. What does it say there? In verse 2 it says, “On three Sabbath days…” What is this “new Sabbath”? We must make these remnants know perfectly what worship and prayer are. “But will children understand?” That is your thought. If the Holy Spirit works, they will understand. Right? People also say, “Will new believers understand?” That is truly an ignorant statement. When the Holy Spirit works, people understand even when they hear it for the first time. “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3. Jesus Himself said, “If you ask in my name, the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will be with you forever. He will let you know the future and remind you of everything I have said to you.” That is how it is. We must teach what worship and prayer are.

1)The Lord of prayer (the Triune God)
So then, the Lord of prayer is not us. Right? When you pray, the Lord of prayer—the Triune God—works invisibly.

2)The background of prayer – throne, kingdom, and its work
We must teach what the background of prayer is. What is the background of prayer? Today, we have worshiped with the three feasts. That is the background: the throne, the kingdom, and the work of the kingdom. Just wait and see. You worship on Sunday, hold onto the Word, and pray—and in your field, the throne, the kingdom, and the work of the kingdom are surely fulfilled. This is the background of prayer.

3)The method of prayer
So then, what is the method of prayer? Why must I pray?

(1) Imprint (brain)
Our prayer not only connects to the throne, but it becomes imprinted in us. It becomes imprinted in our brains. That is why it is very important to pray out loud.

(2) Root (soul)
Our prayer becomes rooted in our souls.

(3) Nature (throne)
Our prayer makes our very nature one that communicates with the throne. This is prayer. So worship is no ordinary thing. Prayer is important. If our precious remnants can listen properly to the message of Christ and pray, it is essentially finished.

  1. Acts 17:1 [ The perfection of answers ]
    So they went into the synagogue. Why did they go into the synagogue? Not only prayer, but the perfection of answers.

1)Talents 300%
God will cause the talents of our remnants to reach 300%.

2)Work 300%
For the remnants who have come from those dark countries, God will make their work 300%. Otherwise, world evangelization cannot be done.

3)Evangelism and missions 300%
We must teach them this. If I were teaching them, I would teach like this: “From now on, do not pray to be the ones helped, but pray to be the ones who help. From now on, though we must pray, ‘Lord, send workers,’ do not merely pray that way—pray, ‘Lord, allow us to send workers.’”
RLS has become such a wonderful school now. It is a place where gifted children gather. At first, runaway kids were the ones there. Runaway kids had come and were staying in the church. No matter how foolish we are, we still had to do something. We had to make a school. At that time, I preached in the first service here, then went up to Seoul for the second service and came back. I counseled them on the airplane while flying with them. I told them, “First of all, you are an extraordinary child. You have done three things I could not do. I wanted to run away from home but could not. I wanted to quit school but could not; I just kept attending. I did not want to go to church but went because I had to. You have done all three. You are an amazing person. From now on, start from here. Take this character you have and start from here.”
So should we name the school “The House of Runaway Kids”? Of course not. From the beginning I said, “You are future leaders.” And now they are truly doing that role. The RLS students are now playing a role in leading the world. Truly. “You must enjoy the 300% blessing of evangelism and missions that God gives you, and through that, carry out world evangelization.” Even if they do not fully do this, we must teach correctly. Among the many things God has given us, even if we cannot do everything, we must still speak about God’s things.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion?

  1. The first opportunity
    For these children, and for the 237 children you will meet in the future, as I said before, they have never heard this once. You must always remember that. Why must we clearly tell them this? Because they have never heard it. It is the first time. This might sound a bit proud, but if you do not tell them, there is no one else. Right?
  2. The last opportunity
    It is the last opportunity for those children.
  3. The eternal opportunity
    So how must we form them? We must imprint them so that they will never forget, for eternity. We do not know when we will see them again. It is an eternal opportunity.
    So, as you did well last time also, when those children come, we must absolutely plant into them the sure gospel, testimonies backed by prayer, and the sense of their mission. If needed, we must also start something new.
    When we first moved into a 35-pyeong basement, there was one thing we did that has never stopped. The entire church took turns fasting one day at a time. It says Paul fasted and prayed when he first went out to the mission field. So he completely received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because you prayed like that, you are now playing the leading role in world evangelization.
    So from now on, for the sake of temple construction—since we must have the three courtyards—how about we set up a relay of daily fasting prayer for the building? For those who do not know how to pray, just being hungry is prayer. Saying, “Oh, I’m hungry,” is prayer. In this way, we connect faith and the covenant. During the North Korea missions conference, I said, “Pray in relay every day.” Fasting one day is actually good for your body as well. So there is nothing bad about it. How about starting a relay of prayer, where the entire congregation continues to pray without ceasing until the temple construction is fully done? In that, multiethnic peoples, remnants, and TCK children will naturally be included.
    What would have happened if Philip had said something else to the Ethiopian eunuch? It would have been a disaster. He explained Christ. Christ is the name before which all forces of darkness tremble. It is the name that broke the power of Satan. He is the true priest who took all the curses we were supposed to receive. We could never meet God, so He made known to us the true way—the true prophet, not just any prophet. And He is not just any king. He is the true King. Not merely someone who wears priestly garments and performs rituals, but the true priest.
    I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week the eyes of your life may be opened to see the blessing of the covenant being fulfilled. Let us pray.

Prayer. Let the covenant begin and be fulfilled throughout this week. For the people of the Lord who pray all day long inside the covenant, grant them the covenant You gave to the tabernacle, the temple, and the Mark’s upper room church. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thanksgiving Is a Festival to Be Enjoyed Every Day

2025.11.16 Sunday 1st Service
Thanksgiving Sunday
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

1. Find the last mission God wants to give you.
Thank you. When we meet people and talk, there are times we begin to think about something. Most people, if you look at them, have already set everything according to their own thoughts. When you see such a person, you feel, “Ah, this person will no longer have any answers!” And when you see someone who is working very hard in a strange way to succeed, you become worried again. Those two look different, but they are the same. Giving up according to one’s own thoughts or moving according to one’s own thoughts—those two are the same. The covenant you must absolutely hold today is this: even today God gives you new grace, but there is a last mission He surely wants to give you. You must find that. The reason God has kept you alive is that He has prepared a special blessing for you.

1)If you think that does not exist, you will enter the greatest suffering.
If you think that does not exist, you go into the greatest suffering. Why? Moses thought it was over, even though he had not even started. So he suffered to the point of death. Even though he had not even begun, Elijah also said, “It is finished.” There are many people like that.

2)By giving up according to your own thoughts, you stay quietly inside a frame or struggle in the wrong way.
Some people just remain quietly inside a small frame. Others keep struggling in the wrong direction. Both are loss.

2. The Festival of Ingathering (Thanksgiving) – Started at the Exodus, completed by Jesus in Mark’s upper room.
So today we also call Thanksgiving “the Festival of Ingathering.” It is called Thanksgiving because the harvest is gathered, and it is called the Festival of Ingathering because the harvest is stored. This feast began at the time of the Exodus. And in Mark’s upper room, Jesus completed this feast. It is connected in such an important way.

3. Hardship – The best timetable.
The hardship in Egypt and then the hardship of the early church were the best timetables. You must not miss this either. Are you going through hardship? It is probably the best timetable. For us, it feels very painful. But within God’s plan, it is the best timetable. There has never been a time when it was not so. Because we are human, when suffering comes, it is hard. Right? How difficult must it have been for Moses, who ran away as a murderer and lived in hiding for forty years? That was his forty years in Midian. But it was the best time. We easily miss such important things.

▣ Introduction_ What God wants to give first in hardship
Among these, in the hardships of Egypt and the early church, there is something God wanted to give first. The blessing of Thanksgiving that you must absolutely see is in the main message, but there is a blessing you must first receive.

  1. The gospel – “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.” Forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God.
    “Moses, go to offer the blood sacrifice.” That is what God said. And at the very end, it says Jesus spoke about the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days. In these hardships, what does He want us to realize? He wants us to realize what the gospel is.

1)The gospel is that the Triune God makes you His children and takes responsibility for you.
The gospel is the important beginning in which the Triune God completely makes you His children and takes responsibility for you.

2)Exodus 3:18 – On the day of the blood sacrifice, the power of Satan was broken.
On the day they offered the blood sacrifice, the power of Satan was broken. This is the gospel.

※ “It is finished” (John 19:30) – It is over. There is no need to do anything else.
The moment I understood the gospel, I understood Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” It is all over. There is no need to do anything else.

3)Isaiah 7:14 – Immanuel
The gospel is: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” You must firmly hold this fact today. Especially new believers are confused about many things. Do not be deceived. On the day they put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, they came out of Egypt. That is the gospel.

4)Matthew 16:16 – Christ: the unshakable rock, the church, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and the powers of darkness will not overcome you.
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” “You are Peter; you will never be shaken. On this rock I will build my church. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The powers of darkness will not overcome you.” He said it clearly. That is the gospel. Right?

  1. When they lost hold of the gospel, they lost hold of everything.
    So when Israel lost the gospel, they lost everything. In the hardship in Egypt and under the persecution of Rome, God first made them realize what the gospel is.
  1. Prayer – Forty years in the wilderness, forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God.
    Second, there is something He made them know first. Forty years in the wilderness. Forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God. What is it? You must know what prayer is. Because people do not know what prayer is, they do not know what to do.

1)Prayer is enjoying the bartizan of the throne – seeing answers that transcend time and space and that are unprecedented and unrepeatable.
Prayer is enjoying the bartizan of the throne. Therefore, you come to see answers that transcend time and space and are unprecedented and unrepeatable.

2)is walking the journey of the throne – acceptance, transcendence, and victory.
Prayer is walking the journey of the throne. You become able to accept, transcend, and overcome anything.

3)Prayer is setting up the guidepost of the throne – the footsteps that remain all the way to the 5,000 tribes.
Prayer is setting up the guidepost of the throne. Your footsteps will remain. You may have given a small devotion, but your footsteps remain. To what extent? They will remain all the way to the 5,000 tribes. That is prayer.

  1. Answer – The tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the three feasts given during the forty years in the wilderness.
    More importantly, people do not know what the answer is. Not knowing what the answer is means that the forty years in the wilderness were prayer. Then what is the answer? During the forty years in the wilderness, God gave them many extremely important things. What are the representative ones among them? The tabernacle. Right? The ark of the covenant. The three feasts. These are tremendous. Then they realized: this is the answer. But since people do not correctly understand the word “answer,” sometimes they cannot wait, and at other times they lose hold of it.
    I mentioned it last week. A certain person chose only children and women and killed them. Why did he do that? How did he kill them? That is not important. The question is, why did he do such a thing? In his childhood, a bartizan of hatred and murder was formed.

1)The bartizan of the throne is established first (Revelation 8:3-5) – the beginning of answers.
If the bartizan of God’s throne is established first inside us, that becomes the beginning of answers. So on Sunday, some people hold the covenant and pray earnestly like Rockefeller. Before any visible answer, the bartizan of God has already been established within them. This is the first answer. Therefore there is no need to be discouraged. In Revelation 8, it says all your prayers are held before God in the golden censer.

2)Journey of the throne – the way you must go becomes visible.
From that point on, the way you must go becomes visible. This is called the journey of the throne.

3)Guidepost of the throne – visible answers (your work is reproduced and re-created, your studies are prepared 300%).
From that time, visible answers begin to come. Your work begins to be reproduced and re-created. Your studies begin to be prepared at 300%. That is the true answer. You leave behind guideposts. These are called the seven guideposts. This is the answer. Since people do not know what the answer is, what are you praying and singing about? You are building the bartizan.
So now you know what the gospel is, what prayer is, and what prayer answers are. God held them in the wilderness for forty years to teach them this. Only then would the future generation be able to overcome. After training them for three years, Jesus spoke intensively for forty days. He explained the bartizan and guideposts to which they must go.

▣ Main. Thanksgiving – The three feasts come together.
Now, among these, we are celebrating Thanksgiving today. If you understand Thanksgiving in a shallow way, it has no connection to answers. If you simply celebrate Thanksgiving Day like in America, it has no meaning.
This Thanksgiving contains the three feasts together. Right? On the day they put the blood of the lamb on their houses, they came out. That is the Passover. In the wilderness, they harvested grain. That is Pentecost. It is the same as the Feast of Weeks. But they later gathered all these grains and stored them in the storehouses. That is Thanksgiving, the Festival of Ingathering. This has great meaning. These three are together.
Passover (liberation on the day the lamb’s blood was applied) – Being saved by the blood of Christ.
We have been saved by the blood of Christ.
Pentecost (gathering grain in the wilderness) – Living in the wilderness with the power of Pentecost.
We live our wilderness journey with the power of Pentecost.
Festival of Ingathering (gathering grain and storing it in the storehouses) – Your background is the throne.
More importantly, your background today is the throne. This is the Festival of Ingathering. This is Thanksgiving. You must discover three things in a simple way.

  1. The three feasts that overturn destiny – the moment you realize them, you are set free.
    First, what are these three things? The moment you realize these feasts, you are set free. The moment you hold onto these three feasts, your destiny is overturned.

1) Ten blessings – All the curses of Egypt were destroyed. This power was conveyed to Israel, to Egypt, to the entire world, and to the thirty-one kings of the seven tribes in the land of Canaan.
Ten plagues came upon Egypt. For Israel, they were ten miracles. But for God, that was not all. They were ten blessings. Right? He completely broke all the curses in the land of Egypt. He showed them this. This power was passed on to Israel. It was passed on to all of Egypt. Later, it was passed on to the whole world. In the end, it was passed on to the seven tribes and thirty-one kings in the land of Canaan. It is amazing.

2) All are a process – What God has given you separately remains. Just holding onto that becomes a bartizan. Come out of darkness.
Do you have problems before you? They are not the problem. Have you received some answers? That is not it either. It is the process. There is something very important that remains separately for you. Your destiny has been overturned.
Let me speak to the remnants. From childhood, I made a declaration. My parents suffered, could not evangelize, lived in poverty and sickness. I said, “That is not mine.” Right? It is not mine. Why should it be mine? I must evangelize. In every church I visited, everything collapsed because of people-centeredness and people’s words. They could not receive real answers. From that time I realized, “That is not mine. Mine is something else—what God has given.” I only held onto that, and it became a bartizan. I did nothing special, but just by holding onto it, answers kept coming.
The beginning of the three feasts and Thanksgiving is overturning destiny. Coming out of Egypt is not the issue. You must come out of darkness. Effort comes after that. You have already come out of destiny. Believe this. Those who did not believe this died in the wilderness. Those who believed entered. This is the three feasts and Thanksgiving.

3) Even now, the background of the throne is working. Believe it (Mark 16:19-20, Acts 7:55-56, Revelation 8:3-5).
Even at this moment, on Thanksgiving, the background of the throne, the Festival of Ingathering, is working upon you. You must believe this. While you are worshiping here today, the power of the throne comes upon your business fields. Do you believe this? If you do not believe this, you are not believing any of the important truths in the Bible. At the end of the Gospel of Mark, chapter 16, it says that as the disciples went out and preached everywhere, Christ, who was seated at the throne, worked with them. Right? When Stephen was being stoned, it says Christ was standing at the right hand of the throne. When the apostle John was praying in death-like circumstances on the island of Patmos, the heavens were opened and God on the throne was hearing all his prayers. You must believe this. As you pray throughout this day, you must hold this covenant and pray. As you pray in the church, the power of the throne is at work in your children’s lives.

  1. The three feasts that change the future of the next generation.
    Second, these three feasts—especially Thanksgiving—were kept together with the children. That is amazing. They actually built shelters and celebrated together. What does this mean? It means changing the future generation. These three feasts changed the future of the next generation.

1) Exodus 23:14-19 – You must surely keep the three feasts.
So in Exodus 23:14-19, it says, “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.” You must surely keep these three feasts.

2) Deuteronomy 6:4-9 – Before entering Canaan, imprint everything that has happened until now into your children.
In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, it says to imprint into the children everything that has happened up to now—before entering the land of Canaan. Right? Imprint it. This one thing is enough. To all remnants, before they go into the world, imprint this power. That is the feast. It is to make them realize this. While keeping the feast with their children, they said, “This is the Passover. This is now Pentecost. This is the Festival of Ingathering.” They taught them.

※ What goes into a little child goes on forever.
What you are doing now may look small, but you are raising remnants, preparing the three courtyards and nurturing multiethnic peoples. These things will become eternal. Especially what goes into a little child goes on forever. How precious is this?

3) Among the future generations, there are children God has prepared.
Open your eyes a little more. Even if it is hard, set more direction toward children and multiethnic ministry—I will speak more about this in the second service today. You will be amazed. Even if the number is not large, God has prepared children. I have seen so many amazing cases of “God has prepared them.”
I have shared this testimony before; older members may know it. Long ago, there was TBC broadcasting. At that time, there was a man named Park Dae-hong who did the weather forecast. When the government changed and the networks were unified, that station disappeared, but he had done the weather report there for a long time. He lived in the apartment complex near Busan Jungang Church in Jungang-dong. He was quite old and had two children. The older was a daughter in about sixth grade, and he had a younger child, a kindergarten-age boy. That boy was extremely smart—God had prepared him. Since this announcer had children late, he cherished them. On Saturdays, I gathered sixth graders and trained them in evangelism. While his older sister was in training, that little boy would hide and listen. I was so impressed that I told him to come in. “Come in and join us.” His name was Jung-hak. “Hey, Park Jung-hak, come in.” He sat there and listened. Then he went home and did exactly what I had said in the message. While they were eating, the little boy said to his father, “Dad, you have to pray.” The father was shocked. The boy said exactly what I had said: “Pigs do not pray. People must pray.” The father was so moved by the child’s actions. So he said, “Then show me how you pray.” And the boy prayed. In the end, that father was evangelized, and I got to see him become an ordained deacon in that church before I left. What did I realize? “Ah, among the future generations, God has children already prepared.” I could never produce that by my own ability. That is why we must prepare these three feasts together with the next generation.

  1. Enjoy the completed three feasts every day.
    Lastly, the third thing you must hold onto: because Christ has completed these three feasts, you must enjoy them every day.

1) The completed three feasts – Calvary (completion), Mt Olive (mission), Mark’s upper room (fulfillment).
He completed everything on Calvary. On Mt Olive, He gave the complete mission. After hearing this covenant, it was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room. That is why it says, “When the day of Pentecost came…”

2) Life challenge – Absolute impossibility (acknowledge), absolute plan (discover), absolute possibility (change the world).
I ask you to challenge your life once. Take the thing that absolutely does not work and truly acknowledge it, and then challenge. You must acknowledge it: “We are absolutely impossible.” But within that, there is God’s absolute plan. Finding only that is enough. Jochebed knew they could not defeat Pharaoh. But she also knew that God’s plan was for this child to live, return to his nation, and proclaim the gospel. At that moment, her eyes were opened. “We must send our child into the palace. The only place he can survive is there.” Then an amazing work took place. No one could have imagined that this would change the world. You must hold this covenant today.

3) Your background – The throne.
The three feasts—especially your background, the throne, the Festival of Ingathering.

▣ Conclusion. The remaining blessing – seven points.
At this point, something even more important remains. Something more important remains in Scripture. The Bible presents seven important terms.

  1. The remnant – Those who remain will become those who leave behind.
    The remnant. Those who remain will become those who leave behind.
  2. Pilgrims – They will not be wanderers but those who shine the light.
    Pilgrims. They will not be mere wanderers but those who shine the light. This will come.
  3. Conquerors – Conquering darkness.
    Conquerors. You will not conquer people, but you will conquer darkness.
  4. Those who are scattered – Those who are sent.
    Those who are scattered. They are not merely scattered—they will become those who are sent.
  5. Watchmen
    God will set you as watchmen. This is what remains.
  6. Spies – Those who will block the disasters of 24, 25, and eternity.
    God will call you as spies who will save people from disasters in 24, 25, and eternity.
  7. Those who prepare the highway and lift up the banner.
    God will set you as those who prepare the highway and lift up the banner. These seven points are the remaining blessing and the most important words in the Bible.
    Today, pray all day for the power of the three feasts. To what extent? Pray until all the spiritual problems in you are reversed into strength. As you pray throughout this day, pray that the power of the throne will truly come upon every place connected to you. As you earnestly pray today, pray for the work of healing to arise in the sick. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be an important day. Let us pray.

Prayer. All around the world, those who have held the covenant are listening to the Word. May the covenant of the three feasts come upon them. Throughout the nation and the world, people are confirming God’s Word through the broadcast. Let this be the day when the power of the throne comes upon them. During today’s worship, let poverty, sickness, and helplessness collapse. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Exodus 300%

2025.11.16 District Message 46th Week
Scripture Reading: Genesis 41:38

Israel suffered many great hardships in Egypt.

▣ Introduction_ Egypt
Joseph was sold as a slave.

  1. Absolute impossibility – [ Not failure, not success ]
    He could not do anything. He fell into absolute impossibility. We also face such times. A person may fall into great difficulty where someone is trying to kill them. Joseph was falsely accused and sent to prison. No one can overcome that. We may also experience such things. Absolutely impossible situations can come before us. Some people have children, and their young child is diagnosed with an incurable disease. What can they do? After Joseph became the prime minister, they thought everything would be restored, but afterward the king gave an even greater hardship: “Now kill all the Hebrew boys.” It is difficult. Such situations arise. Here is something you must absolutely know. In our lives, extremely unjust things, painful things, and situations that feel like death come to us. You must remember this: absolute impossibility is not failure. And even though it looks like you are suffering here, Pharaoh or Egypt is not success. You must catch this first. If great difficulty comes to you, in one sense it is not failure. If Joseph had said, “I am completely ruined,” when he was sold as a slave, it would have been a disaster. When he was falsely accused and thrown into prison, he could have said, “I am completely finished.” That is how it looks. But we must always remember: it is neither failure nor success. Right? Then Pharaoh killing many children with his power—was that success? Joseph and the Israelites suffered many hardships—was that failure?
  2. Absolute plan
    There is something you must see at such a time: God’s absolute plan. It is not difficult to understand. Leaving Egypt and going to Canaan was God’s absolute plan. When would it happen? You cannot know. But one thing is certain: it is the absolute plan. Even if you cannot go there now, you must still do what you must do now. Right?
  3. Absolute possibility
    This is what they saw—absolute possibility. Joseph saw it. He waited for the timetable when he would stand before the king and explain. Moses’ mother Jochebed made a plan to send Moses into the palace.
  4. Absolute plan – [ Salvation ]
    You are never failure or success. You must find what God’s absolute plan is. God’s absolute plan is salvation, so you must set your direction toward salvation. Sometimes you may think, “Should I take revenge on this wicked person? Should I fight?” At such times, choose the direction of saving. Even if you have done nothing, when you discover this one thing, all works begin to happen.
  5. Absolute possibility – [ Moses ]
    Among them is Moses, in today’s passage. What did he see?
    「Exodus – 300%」
    It was the Exodus. It was God’s plan. He saw the 300% of the Exodus. We must remember something here: how do you see the absolute plan? What was the reason he went as a slave? If you know this, you understand why this happened. Why did they become slaves and captives in a powerful nation?

World evangelization (spiritual epidemic)
It was because they were not doing world evangelization—so God pushed them toward world evangelization. Being in Egypt or in Canaan was not the issue. Without world evangelization, the spiritual epidemic cannot be stopped. You must remember this. Coming out of Egypt is not the issue—you must see this (the spiritual epidemic). The hardship you face is painful, but that is not the important thing. God’s absolute plan and absolute possibility are important. If you see this (the absolute plan—salvation) even through hardship, you will surely see absolute possibility.

Many remnants say, “My home and environment are not good,” but that is not a bad thing. It can be a foothold. Others say, “I have no background,” but having a background can become a bigger problem. That is why it is neither success nor failure. When people face difficulty, they say, “This is success,” or “This is failure,” but for you, that is not the case. You must see God’s absolute plan. “Is this incurable child’s disease the parents’ sin or the child’s sin?” This is what people ask. People think like this. “What did I do wrong?” But why would your child get an incurable disease because you did something wrong? Jesus gave the answer: “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” That is the answer.

So the Philistines kept attacking. Later again. The Philistines were not the problem. Even when they were taken captive, in Haggai 2 it says captivity was not the problem. Rather, “Hurry and return and rebuild the temple where God’s power will be restored.” So when Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth,” they asked, “Will You at this time restore the kingdom?” He said, “That is not the issue.” “The real answer is that you must be set free from this darkness.”

▣ Main. Liberation from Darkness
[ Fundamental strength ]
The answer you must receive this week is not about the events happening to you; it is to be liberated from darkness and to develop the fundamental strength of Exodus—the strength of liberation from darkness. If your body is sick, you must quickly go to the doctor and follow their instructions. But that is not the main thing you must do. Leave that to the doctor. What you truly need is fundamental strength. Many people lose everything because they cannot endure the hardships that happen to them.

  1. Liberation from darkness
    First, being liberated from Egypt is not the main issue. As mentioned earlier, you must be liberated from darkness. Right? As they journeyed through the wilderness, those who did not understand this died even though they had come out. Jesus explained this: if you are not liberated from darkness, Satan still has a stronghold in you. If you are not liberated, other houses—other forces—remain inside you.
  2. 237–5000
    The second thing you must hold onto. Why? Because what you are going through right now is not the issue. God is going to give you strength to save the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes by liberating you from darkness. Nothing else can do it. It must be by the covenant: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” Nothing else can bring liberation. On the day of the blood sacrifice, liberation comes. When they went into Babylonian captivity, the same message was given: nothing else works except Immanuel. “The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and they will call him Immanuel.” For the next generation, remnants must have this standard (237–5000). Older adults may simply pray for this, but for remnants, this must be the standard. You must develop your skills to 300%—enough to match the United States and Japan. Right?
  3. Giving life
    Then what do you do? You save many people. God gives you suffering to develop strength to save many. The man with an incurable disease sitting at the Beautiful Gate was raised in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. In Acts 13, 16, and 19, it says the Nephilim disease can be healed only by the gospel. Therefore, the issue is not liberation from Satan and darkness, but making Satan kneel. It is the eyes to see crisis and suffering. It is the answer God wants to give you.
    To those who work in the field, I ask: if you are not prepared 300%, do not start. People hear others’ opinions and begin something with not even 30% preparation. That always fails. With prayer, what is 300%? If you do something based on others’ words, you are not even 50% prepared. You must be 100% personally prepared. Until then, even hard labor and errands are fine—because you are preparing. But you must not just start. Field: 100%. You must do it that way. System and future: 100%. Prepare exactly like this.
    I have said several times before: we Koreans just open a store immediately. But McDonald’s, run by the Freemasons, surveys the field for months. They check even trivial things, like pressing a counter to track how many cars pass, how many cars stop, the age demographics—everything. Then when they start, they succeed. But we often start and fail.
    Remnants must never be deceived. You must come out of darkness and save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes—save many people. That is your mission.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion? The seven remnants lived this way.
What was bound
They completely broke all that was bound.
Bound people
They set free all people bound in darkness. Paul did this.
This is the answer you must receive this week. Which is the most important? The great problem that has come before you is neither failure nor success. You must know this. Usually people say, “Such a great problem has come to me. I cannot do anything anymore.” They think this way. Jochebed, Moses’ mother, saw correctly. They could not defeat the king, but that situation was neither failure nor Pharaoh’s success. She saw God’s absolute plan. Then she saw the opposite—absolute possibility. And God revealed it to Moses. “I will be with you with a mighty hand,” He said. He spoke words only Moses could understand: “Say you have gone to offer the blood sacrifice.” Others do not understand this. Only you understand this. You are those who save people from darkness by the covenant of the blood. That is why you say, “We have gone to offer the blood sacrifice.”
They came to receive the Passover. Today, as you pray throughout the day, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that God’s special bartizan may be established. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Give new strength today to all elders and church leaders. Open the eyes of the remnants to prepare 300%. Let the sick, the troubled, and those in hardship see with spiritual eyes that it is not failure. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Answers in the Age of Destruction

2025.11.15 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (46)
– Model 40 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Matthew 24:1-14

And what conclusion must we always reach? It is world evangelization, and it is the scattered ones. The most important thing in Scripture is the scattered disciples. You must make that your conclusion.

 

  1. Prophecy (Mt. 24:14)
    Jesus did many things for the scattered disciples, but He also prophesied. He gave many prophecies. Among them, the prophecy that the scattered ones must hold onto is Matthew 24:14. That is what they went to fulfill.
  2. AD 70
    And why did Jesus speak this way? What happened in AD 70? Israel disappeared, and the future generations were destroyed. Do you know why you are sitting there today? A disaster that no one knows is coming upon the future generations, and it must be blocked.
  3. AD 313
    Finally, in AD 313, this gospel went out to the entire world through Rome.

This week you must hold onto the important covenant, but once again I will give you the conclusion.
You ask, “What is prayer?” If you do not know prayer, you cannot receive answers to prayer. Right? Prayer is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne where the Triune God is with you. What is the answer? The answer is that this bartizan, this journey, and this guidepost come upon you. Continue praying for the bartizan of Asia evangelization to be established. Then the way becomes visible—that is the journey. Seeing this is called the journey. And the answer becomes visible—that is the guidepost. You must always enjoy this.

In this Asia conference, you must firmly hold onto this. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Allow us to receive 24 strength. Let the Lord make us not rest day or night. Renew us 24 hours. Give us great strength so we may carry out world evangelization. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Answers Within Persecution

2025.11.15 Core
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (46)
Scripture Reading: Acts 11:19

Especially evangelists must absolutely remember this. Every single time evangelism was done, without exception, persecution and affliction came upon the evangelist. You must not be unaware of this.

Right now in this great persecution, there is an answer. At any time, you must first understand two things.

▣ Introduction
You must understand two things.
[ Problem ]
The question is, what is the problem?
[ Answer ]
Then what is the answer? You must not fail to remember this.
Whenever the evangelism movement took place, this happened. They even accused Jesus of being a heretical leader. Every time the evangelism movement occurred, persecution continued. You must first understand this.

[ Problem ]

[ 1. Satan 12 ]
The twelve strategies of Satan. Of course he will persecute.

[ 2. Church ]
And you already know the message, right? There are several problems in the church that has been deceived by Satan. Many human things have entered the church. Many worldly things have come into the church. This blocks the gospel.
What must elders be most careful about? It is not that the church and the world are entirely different. But the most important thing is that if worldly things are brought into the church, it becomes the biggest problem. People do not know and just take it lightly.
Why did God use Paul’s team and not Peter’s team? Because they kept bringing in worldly things. What are worldly things? “How can you go to Cornelius’s house and eat?” This was the Gentile prejudice they learned from the Jews. They kept bringing that in—things unrelated to spiritual, life-saving works. “Still, shouldn’t we keep Jewish laws?” “Still, shouldn’t we be circumcised?”—these absurd statements.
People enter the church and do this. They talk about the atmosphere of the church, public opinion, and such things. Elders must remove these things. Even one elder who truly prays can stop this. People unknowingly keep trying to bring worldly atmosphere and worldly things into the church. But for a missionary who truly understands theology, this is extreme suffering.

[ 3. Ecclesiastical Authority ]
And as you know, “ecclesiastical” refers to church authority. This church authority also keeps blocking the gospel.

[ Answer ]
But there is something you must keep in mind. What has God prepared for you?

[ Separately ]
What is the answer? “Separately.” Do you know what this means? There is something different that is not mixed. Always. God desires this. And with this, He intends to do world evangelization.
When new believers hear this, it may be very difficult. New believers can think like this: “Do not listen to people’s words. Listen to God’s Word.” That is enough. “Do not go on Sunday and talk about people. Do a Word forum.” It is different. When you meet people, do not speak nonsense—give testimony. The whole world is falling into disaster. Therefore you must speak light. You must remember this.
Because people do not know this, “separate” means “set apart.” It means consecrated. And it means something different that is not mixed.
Those who are listening to the message today in Korea and throughout the world—and the people of the Lord in Asia—are called for this reason. You are not called for this (problem), but for this (answer – separately).

▣ Main.
Then what happens in such times?

  1. False Charge
    The early church suffered completely unreasonable legal accusations and false charges. When they were falsely accused, what happened?

1) Mt. 28:1-20
At that time, God did an amazing work. When false accusations and many problems came, what did God do? Christ resurrected and proclaimed the message of world evangelization. You must believe this.

2) Mk. 16:15-20
Through you, God heals the sick, casts out demons, and saves the people of the world. This is what God is accomplishing. Even while you are falsely accused and suffering. Therefore you must know the answer accurately.

3) Acts 1:1-8
Then they made it into law. Not only those in Mark’s upper room, but anyone who followed Jesus was to be arrested. What did God do then? On Mt Olive, He gave the mission of world evangelization in its complete form. You must know what the true answer is.

4) Acts 1:14
They were arresting believers and imprisoning them. But at that time, completely unrelated to that, they devoted themselves only to prayer. You must know what work God was doing. This is the real answer.

5) Acts 2:1-47
And finally, the greatest answer of Mark’s upper room—which you must receive—came. Why do we go to worship on Sunday? To see this answer.
Our elders and church leaders are important people, are you not? Starting next Sunday, when you worship, seek the works of Acts 2. You must receive the flow of the Word, the future, and before that, the strength and power—every Sunday.

  1. Imprisonment
    The disciples had done nothing wrong, but they were imprisoned simply for proclaiming the gospel. When they were imprisoned, what happened?

1) Acts 11:19-30
God caused this work to happen. Those who were scattered gathered and began world evangelization. Do not be deceived by false answers—see the true answer.

2) Acts 12:1-25
Peter was imprisoned again. He was locked up. The believers and church leaders gathered and earnestly prayed. Should you not experience the power of prayer? That night, God sent His angel and worked. He struck down Herod.
You do not know prayer, so you do not receive answers to prayer. You must know prayer, and you must know what the true answer is in order to receive answers. While they were falsely accused, this answer (Main point 1) came. And while they were imprisoned, this answer (Main point 2) came.

3) Acts 13:1-4
Finally, what happened? The promise of Scripture was fulfilled for the first time: the sending of missionaries. It was fulfilled for the first time. Before this, it was done only by force.

  1. Law court
    When they faced legal hardship in the courtroom, what happened?

1) Acts 19:21
“You must also see Rome.”

2) Acts 23:11
While suffering in the courtroom: “Take courage. You must testify in Rome also.”

3) Acts 27:24
While going to stand trial, they nearly died. At that time: “Paul, do not fear. You must stand before Caesar.”

Today you must know what the true answer is.

▣ Conclusion
And what conclusion must we always reach? It is world evangelization—and the ones scattered. The most important in Scripture are the scattered disciples. That must be your conclusion.

The Answers Within Suffering

2025.11.15 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (46)
– Model 40 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Genesis 45:1-5

 

Remnants must absolutely remember this. Where do most real answers actually come from? Right now, these real answers mostly come through suffering. Does God purposely give suffering just to give answers? That is not the case, but remnants must know that inside suffering there are many real answers. Then how do you receive this pain as an answer?

▣ Introduction. Foothold
You must completely turn this into a foothold. What happens to you often comes from your family line and home. So starting today, the same applies to adults, but remnants must completely change their thinking. That is where real answers begin. There are many things in our family lines, but you must overcome them. Make them a foothold. We respect and love our parents, but we must not remain there. We must go beyond. I have lived a life of faith for decades. Church members are precious. But if I remain inside their words and their level of faith, I cannot go forward. I must go beyond. Remnants must remember this. How do answers come? They come for a lifetime. When I was young, I saw adults suffering a lot—poverty, helplessness, not being able to evangelize, sickness. I saw many things like that. And I said, “I will absolutely change this.” And that answer has continued until now. The hardships remnants face will turn into lifelong answers. Make them a complete foothold. You must not forget the past. You cannot forget it. But if you do not forget it, you get tied to it again. That is why you must turn it into a foothold. The Bible says, “Do not remember the former things.” How could you not remember? The answer comes right after: “I will do a new thing.” That is what He said.

▣ Main.
So, the remnants’ well-known example is Joseph.

  1. Gen. 37:1-11
    What is the hardest of all hardships? (Home) The hardest suffering is the suffering you face at home. If you face hardship outside, you can come home, but when you come home and it is painful—what can you do? This is the hardest place. Here Joseph did not be deceived but made it a foothold and began to pray. Dream God gave him a great dream. CVDIP It may not look written exactly like that in Scripture, but in reality this is what God gave. He gave CVDIP precisely.
  2. Gen. 39:1-6
    As you know, you must not lose hold of this. He suddenly went as a slave. He became a slave, but remnants must remember this: 300% Whatever field you go to, you must make it 300%. He did the greatest cleaning. During Joseph’s time as a slave, works arose in various places. With Immanuel Oneness Simply put, he did With, Immanuel, and Oneness all together. This is 300%. Even if you have worries now, do not worry. That is why this is an important answer.
  3. Gen. 40:1-23
    Now, here is something you must not miss. Genesis 40:1-23. He was falsely accused. We have times like this. He ended up in prison. What should you do in times like this? Plan It is not that he searched for a plan God prepared ahead of time, but he looked for the absolute plan. He believed clearly that it existed. Way And this became the way. Through Joseph you can find many practical answers for your life of faith. This became the way to stand before the king.
  4. Gen. 41:1-38
    Finally he stood before the king. You must always remember this. Witness Remnants have two things. God lets them know what adults do not know. When you go to the field, God lets you know what the people there do not know. He makes you stand as a witness. It always works this way. Inside the hardships you face, there is God’s absolute plan. When the doors open for you, it is for one reason: stand as a witness. God A witness of what? A witness that God is with you. You must absolutely hold onto this.
  5. Gen. 45:1-5
    Finally he became the prime minister. At this time, what must he truly do? OUR Only, uniqueness, re-creation. The chance had come. Evangelization And he evangelized in three areas: his family, Egypt, and the world. Do not fear suffering. Do you understand? Remnants must not fear suffering—rather, enjoy it. How do you enjoy suffering? Look at David. He wrote psalms in the midst of hardship and enjoyed God. The covenant you hold during suffering in your childhood will unconditionally turn into lifelong answers. If you do not change it, it will appear as lifelong suffering. That is why people who have scars find it even harder when they hear others’ advice. Therefore, you must completely remove it before the Word. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. At this time, work upon the remnants. Work upon the TCKs. No matter how deep the hardship the remnants are in, let them see new things. If there are remnants in despair, let them see that God is revealing a greater plan. If there are remnants wandering and in unbelief, let them see spiritually greater things. Allow our elite remnants scattered throughout the world to hold onto Joseph’s covenant for world evangelization. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
