Christ 24, 25, Eternity

Prayer Journal: November 13, 2025
27. Aug. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 13:8

From Caesarea Philippi to Rome, we are confirming the covenantal flow. Among these, today I will imprint a few things that we must surely engrave in ourselves and in our disciples. The most important word, the word we must most deeply imprint, is “Christ.” Most people think they know the word “Christ” because they attend church. When Joseph confessed the covenant, what did his brothers say? They called him arrogant and said his character was bad. When David said he would fight Goliath, his brothers said the same thing: “You’ve been arrogant from the beginning.” Then consider Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—when the king’s command came, they refused it. They faced a death sentence. Were those three men arrogant? The biggest reason the Pharisees persecuted the early church was that they preached the gospel; but when they held to “only Christ,” the Pharisees said they were wrong. Were they wrong? You all “know” Christ. The devil knows even better; precisely because he knows, his goal is to confuse you so that you won’t truly know. It makes no sense for Christians to not truly know Christ. This must become 24/25/eternity. Then every problem will truly be resolved. There is no way answers won’t come. But this (24/25/eternity) is what is not happening. Paul had a reason he could be used. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever”—you cannot help but be used. So, when you read Romans 16 where Paul wrote, he introduces person after person; and for every single one he adds—almost tiresomely—“in Christ.” He never just lists a name without that nuance. He could have simply said, “Esther in Christ,” and then moved on to just the next person’s name, but he keeps repeating “so-and-so in Christ.” This is different. If we do not form our congregation like this, we will surely fail. How simple and good this is—and yet how often we miss it.

▣ Introduction

1. Christians who lost Christ
So you must check this: there are actually many Christians who have lost hold of Christ. Let me give a few examples.

(1) The Jews (Acts 4:1–12) – Especially the Jews. They had no choice but to be struck by disaster—from the slavery in Moses’ time all the way to 1948—because among them were those who possessed the gospel, and God had to drive them to that point. To what extent did it go? When the name “Christ” was mentioned, they grew furious—without even knowing why. Acts 4 records the evidence: they put Peter on trial—supposedly because a man lame from birth was healed. Does that make sense? He wasn’t tried because of the healing; they were forbidding the mention of Christ. Even in court they said, “Never speak of Christ again.” Who told them to say that? Not the king. The high priest? I believe Satan did. It’s terrifying. Then Peter said, “There is no other name under heaven given to man by which we must be saved.” He spoke too boldly. So the officials remarked, “Aren’t these uneducated fishermen? Something has changed.” They missed the point. We think we know Christ—of course our minds must first know—but in reality many do not truly know.

(2) Peter’s associates (Acts 11:1–18) – Look at the brothers around Peter. They said absurd things. Many church people say absurd things. Don’t go to church and talk absurdities. What happened? Salvation arose in Cornelius’s house; the Holy Spirit came; Peter ate a meal there. They quarreled with him over that, because Jewish law said not to associate with Gentiles. If it were me I might have said, “Are you crazy? Didn’t Jesus command us to the ends of the earth?” Peter instead explained, “In a vision the Lord told me to go; they believed and were saved—how could I refuse? They served me a meal, so I ate.” Beneath this is the same mindset as Jonah’s: “I won’t preach in Nineveh—if I do, they’ll repent, and I don’t want to see that.” The same idea. Why eat there? And then, in Acts 11:19, those scattered because of Stephen—this became the Antioch church. Personally, I see the lampstand being moved. Without Christ, the lampstand is moved. Know this. No matter how great the theology or learning, church members need the gospel. Without the gospel’s moving and wonder, church members die. Remember this. We are in an important timetable; don’t miss it.

(3) The medieval church (John 2:1–11) – The medieval church was still “church,” having grown out of the early church. But was Christ there? No. In John 2:1–11 Jesus attended the wedding at Cana; when the wine ran out and trouble came, Mary—Jesus’ mother and a sound believer who knew He was conceived by the Holy Spirit—asked Him. Knowing that if she asked, He would act. On that basis the medieval church insisted we must pray in Mary’s name, since Jesus performed His first miracle at her request. Does that make sense? It went further: in the medieval church, Mary functionally became “lord”—in art and culture Christ is small below and Mary is exalted. Thus, on the same continent, South America fell under a curse while North America saw revival; because the gospel was proclaimed in the North, and Mary was proclaimed in much of the South. In Russia too, Mary is centered. I would ask any well-trained priest: why? Where is Christ? They made culture and music centered on Mary. That was the medieval church.

(4) The 237 nations (museums) – I’ve visited many of the great powers among the 237 nations. I used to go first to the museums—like the Pushkin in Russia, the Louvre in France—same story: everything centered on Mary. Nobody coordinated that; yet Russia and France look the same. Satan has no “made in USA” or “made in Japan”; the pattern is the same. As evangelists you must have eyes to see and imprint the congregation properly. Don’t be theologically wrong, but also know: people don’t live the Christian life because they studied much theology. Whatever your gifts emphasize, nothing may be above Christ.

(5) The 5,000 tribes (Nephilim) – Globally among the 5,000 tribes we haven’t visited, but we can sense it: it is rife with Nephilim culture. So we must carefully watch the missionaries evangelizing the 5,000 tribes and support them in prayer. The headquarters must help in a better way. Missions isn’t “support when we feel good, drop when we don’t,” nor swaying with church mood. Missions is far more. I saw this in Korea: while we lived in huts, a large mission house in the village sustained the whole town—boiling corn into gruel for us, ladling milk into bowls because we had none. Now I realize: we have made missions too light and strange. We say “the Japanese church is weak,” but not necessarily; in Japan, upon ordination, the pastor assumes total responsibility, and they don’t ordain lightly. In some respects their standard is higher. Numbers may be small, but that’s not the measure. Korean baseball players go to Japan to learn and earn; Japanese players do not come here to learn. Think carefully.

2. The Answer
Therefore the answer must be Christ.
(1) Need nothing else (John 19:30) – Those who truly have the answer of Christ do not “need” everything else, because they know they already have all. “It is finished.” Many ruin themselves because they are restless for what they “need.” Evangelists and pastors must not do that. We must prepare 300% and move 300%. Later in Lecture 2 I will explain that phrase. It is written: “It is finished.” For example, I told our elders: “Build as offerings come in; nothing special—if about 70 billion won comes, do that much.” Our elders said, “No, it must exceed 100 billion,” but that’s not the point. If Christ is not the answer, we die. History gives proof—though not always immediately visible. Did the medieval church that had its greatest outward ‘boom’ actually preach the gospel? On the contrary, they opposed Christ.

(2) Nothing else should be seen (Matthew 17:1–9) – Elijah needed? Moses needed? If so, you have not been saved. Only Christ must remain. Because they could not grasp this, the global church is sinking into darkness. Do memories of your hardest days bother you? Lingering problems? What should you do? I discovered this: our nation and my home were simply under darkness; Korea itself was under darkness. Africa needs light. The great powers are under darkness. The answer is Christ. Thus we must have true thanksgiving and a real evangelism movement must arise in the church.

(3) No religious insistence (Matthew 16:13–20) – Stop insisting on religious things in church—that kills. At Caesarea Philippi Jesus asked not for a poll, but because after three years of training He needed to see what His disciples had grasped. When He asked, “Who do people say I am?” the disciples answered—and that answer revealed their own faith: “John the Baptist… Elijah… Jeremiah… one of the prophets.” That was their confession! Then Jesus asked, “But who do you say that I am?” Most could not answer. Peter’s confession is astounding: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus replied, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah; this was revealed by my Father in heaven. You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church; the gates of Hades shall not overcome it. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” This does not change; it continues even now. This is not about “doing something”—it is that nothing else should be seen.

3. Romans 16
So, as noted, in Romans 16 Paul introduces everyone as “in Christ.”
(1) 3 concentrations – With what Christ gave, we carry out the three concentrations. If we do, something is formed; because this is not happening, answers lag.

(2) 3 settings – If we truly do the three concentrations with what Christ gave, three settings are established. This is true in Lecture 2 as well—God has given you something special to save the congregation; you must do it.
(3) 3 answers – And we go with three answers.

King/prophet/priest – the way, the truth, and the life; Philippians 3:21
Then, what answer must we draw early? “Christ” means “the Anointed One”: the true King, the true Prophet, the true Priest. Jesus Himself said He is the way to the Triune God—the word “Christ” means the way, the truth, and the life. “No one comes to the Father except through me.” We can say clearly to religionists: “There is no other.” You cannot solve your problem by cultivating your way—dangerous self-deception. When evil spirits enter, people think they have attained—but they have not. Even a monk of great discipline may gain phenomena—that is not the answer. In the book published at the death of the renowned Seongcheol, the first line of the foreword was, “Why did I choose Buddhism?” The next: “Because I could not find the way.” The third: “If I find the way, I will leave Buddhism.” He even mentioned Satan: “Shakyamuni was a disciple of Satan.” It’s in the book—check it. So Paul not only held the answer in Christ but held the proof: “At the name of Jesus every knee bows”—all things obey His name.

From this introduction, you must truly seize the answer, and the saints must find it. We must now enter a sober time to receive true answers—your members must live. Many events are God shaking to separate. If trials come to your church, do not worry—God is distinguishing.

▣ Main – John 14:14 (prayer)
By what shall we do this? Jesus left one crucial word: We are not saved now by slaughtering lambs and offering blood—that was a symbol pointing to the covenant. Now He says, “Pray in my name.” God-given name. John 14 records it clearly. “Pray in my name; do not slaughter lambs or oxen; pray in my name. Do not perform shamanistic rites to defeat Satan—you cannot. Pray in my name.” A tremendous message. I was shocked and said, “Ah—then everything truly ends in Christ.” Then it must truly end. Pastors who served with me can attest: I did not micromanage, nor say “Use this person.” God takes 100% responsibility and carries it forward. What are we? Those who shine light to people dying in darkness. Why don’t we? Because we have so much—ironically that prevents us. The Jews boasted: “We defeated Egypt and Philistia; we are God’s children”—but stripped out the substance.

Look also at the medieval church—tremendous power, but they thought it was the gospel when it was not. After Rome made Christianity the state religion, the world was in upheaval. Kings now “had” to believe; whether they truly did or not, they had to attend worship. Where would the king attend? Wherever he went, chaos followed: thus the pope stood at the center, clashing with kings. Where is Christ in that? With such power, if a king attended a church, business magnates flocked there. Cathedrals went up easily—“Let’s build here”—and massive shrines were raised, thought to be “answers.” They removed Christ. If Christ is removed, the church inevitably falls into darkness. Then world evangelization is impossible. So “pray in my name” is explosive—an answer, yet to the Jew it sounded insane. But the proof stands: as the name of Jesus Christ was proclaimed worldwide, the medieval church eventually knelt. God openly blessed the nations that preached Jesus Christ—above all, the United States. America became proud, forgetting God’s blessing, but God poured so much that Europe combined cannot match it. Officially the US still sends the most missionaries. Some even observed that as missionary-sending increased, so did GNP.

1. By status
First, enjoy Christ by your status.

1) John 1:11–12
He came as the light; let this light come into you. “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”

2) Matthew 5:13–16
Jesus did not say, “Become the light”; He said, “You are the light of the world.” Because you believe, you are light. Do not lose this. You are those who shine the light.

3) 1 Peter 2:9
More: you were called to proclaim that light. The whole world lies in darkness—often in proportion to its “prosperity.” Evidence? The richest, strongest nation has the most mental illness. The earth can change at any time. By status.

2. By authority
More important: by authority—the authority of God’s child. Pastors have authority to bless and heal. Deuteronomy 21:5 shows three given to the Levitical priests: the authority to bless, to judge, and to officiate worship. You have authority. What authority?

1) Acts 3:1–12
“In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Peter added the more important word: “Silver and gold I do not have”—not meaning he couldn’t give coins, but “That is not what you need. Even if you get coins, you remain lame. I will give what you truly need—in the name of Jesus Christ, walk.” This is prayer that uses authority. Jesus taught and concluded with prayer.

2) Acts 4:12
“There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” The name of Christ.

3) Acts 8:4–8
They proclaimed Christ intensively, and the people gave undivided attention—works arose. In your fields and from your pulpits, if you deliver with one heart and your people hear with one heart, destinies are overturned. If you worship properly on Sunday, even bodily illnesses can be healed—I have reasons for this. God may have purposes in affliction (Paul was ill), but living namelessly under constant sickness is not ideal. Be strong—it is more God’s will that you be strong to preach. He gives much grace in weakness, but that is for root-healing, not the norm. Nothing else will do.

4) Acts 16:16–18
“In the name of Jesus Christ I command you: come out!” Immediately it left. Of course. He gave us such a crucial thing.

5) Philippians 3:21
“By the power that enables him to bring everything under his control.” Not only demons; all darkness, disease, disasters, and even your anxious future—under the name of Jesus Christ.

3. By life
Not only this—enjoy Christ by status and authority, and by life. In a sense, this is even more important. How?

1) 24 (enjoyment)
24—enjoyment. Nothing is greater. There are two lifelines in prayer; here we enjoy the power of life. To our Remnants we must explain: prayer-happiness 24 surely revives me; prayer-power 25 revives the field; prayer-completion eternity surely saves the world. With this, create 300% “works” that save the age.

2) 25 (waiting) – the whole covenant
When you build works holding the covenant, this becomes an eternal secret. Wait for 25… See the whole Bible—the whole covenant. Joseph did not “just wait.” He waited enjoying the covenant and receiving blessing in it. He did not file an application to meet the prime minister; the king summoned him. It surely comes. Church members miss this. Without enjoyment, waiting is impossible; with enjoyment, waiting is natural. If you have hope, you can endure; without hope, endurance is impossible. When hope is sure, even waiting becomes happy. (If someone promised you ten trillion won for one year in prison, you’d go gladly.) The entire Bible is like this. This is what Jesus meant by the kingdom of God—enjoy Christ as 25; wait. Since this fills Scripture, I won’t elaborate more. Abraham waited 25 years; Joseph about 10+; David around 20 between Goliath and kingship—and they waited receiving answers.

3) Eternity (future)
Eternity—this speaks of the future, sustained into eternity. Many key verses:
(1) John 14:16, 26; 16:13 – “He will be with you forever”; “He will teach you all things”; “He will tell you what is to come.”
(2) Joel 2:28 – “I will pour out my Spirit on all people… your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” Future.
(3) Acts 2:17–18 – Fulfilled and unfolding.
Even now these answers continue. Be in prayer, not just in thought. Animals live by instinct; humans by thought; but evangelists live in prayer. Thought can be dangerous. Enjoying Christ in this way does not merely save me; we must go beyond “I must live.” In Lecture 3 you will see: if you do just one thing properly, there is no need to worry about the church. Elders live in the world and their concerns are not “wrong,” but they are not the criterion. Our criterion is not “making a living,” nor “How to manage the church?” People will come. You must hold and communicate this so that all saints conclude, “We just follow the Word.” How? Not by reading the 66 books a hundred times and memorizing, but by holding the Word God is fulfilling now for me and for our church.

▣ Conclusion: The age / the church / me
How is Christ working now? This is crucial. How is the message of salvation being fulfilled in this age, in our church, and in me? You must check. When a car breaks, it must be serviced; nowadays even without a breakdown you get regular inspections. At least check this: how is the gospel being fulfilled in this age? What is the flow in our church? It’s not about “right or wrong”—there surely is a flow; find it. Where am I in it? Find that too. Where am I now? I used to be at a level where I couldn’t even give offerings; then I set my heart, and works arose. Where am I in evangelism now? Many say, “I don’t go to the field”—that’s an honest reflection. When churches grow, pastors should stop running everywhere and instead raise disciples who go—this is the “field.” We look to the 5,000 tribes; that is our evangelism field. Going in person is the conclusion and confirmation. Remember this.
So let me conclude again: people do not know who Christ is.

1. The Christ from eternity past
He is the Christ from eternity past. Without this, you will speak as the Jews did and remain bound to your past. In John 8:56 Jesus said, “Abraham rejoiced to see my day.” They could not understand—that the Triune God existed before us. “How old are you, then?” They missed it.

2. The incarnate Christ
This God, the Christ, came in the flesh to save humans—if He were to save dogs, He would have come as a dog; to save people, He came as a man.

3. The risen Christ
As proof He is the Christ, He died and rose as the Scriptures promised. Meaning: He is working now. When we pray in His name, darkness trembles; disasters depart. Why cling to other things and keep suffering? Only Christ—this is real. Study history. If you don’t grasp this, you cannot come out of darkness. The Jews kept pushing the law and drove the whole nation deeper into darkness—this is verified.

4. The returning Lord Christ
He will come again as the Lord of the Second Advent; every king will bow.

5. The Judge Christ
He is also the Judge. When you hold this word, great things happen. With this covenant, Satan is bound; he cannot touch you; sin, curses, and disasters depart. This must be overcome—and then the kingdom of God comes. This is it.

Today, all day in prayer, may you truly enjoy the blessing of healing, summit, and the opening of 237–5,000 tribes. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks and glory to God. We give glory to the God who gave us Christ. Thank You for the grace to know the mystery of Christ. By this name, let all darkness be overthrown. By this name, let the church be revived. Grant the power to save churches around the world. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Communication of the Past, Present, and Future and the Answer of 25

2023.10.01 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:1-4, Romans 16:1-27

Acts 18:1–4 (lifelong)
This is the field of the meeting between the couple Priscilla and Aquila and Paul. We tend to think only according to what we see. But God leads you with the answer for your entire life already prepared.

Romans 16:1–27 (eternal)
In Romans 16:1–27, we may simply “do ministry,” but God views you and your ministry as connected to what is eternal.

Therefore, our past, present, and future are very important. This communication and the 25 answers have been given to you.

▣ Introduction: [God’s preconception]
We all have preconceptions. Because we have them, we judge and choose with them.
[先入見] Preconception means something that has “entered beforehand.” That becomes a problem.
[Before in View of God] If writing for non-Koreans: “before” means something already out in front; it has now entered us and becomes our view—our “me.” In a sense this is everything. Even when you hear today’s sermon or pray, you view it by the standard of what has already entered you. Sometimes this (preconception) becomes the problem—you cannot see beyond it.
So we must have God’s preconception. This is crucial. God desires to bless you. Look with that eye. God is blessing you to enjoy the future of world evangelization. When we look at a person, we quickly say, “He’s wrong,” and stop there. Then your prayer is in vain. God wants to change and bless that person. With that eye many things become visible; with that eye you see correctly. God is blessing your paths with important plans. With that eye you must look. To those of you advanced in years, God is blessing you to enjoy what is His in your remaining life. This (introduction) is the whole answer.
At a glance, many Christians seem no different from unbelievers—we judge lightly, “That person is like this, that person is like that.” God is not like that. God wants to change you, bless you, and use you to save others. This is God’s preconception. With that, view the past, present, and future.

This is extremely important. Among the elderly there are youthful people; among the young there are the aged. The criterion is not the face; it is that this (preconception) becomes hardened within. When teaching Remnants, do not teach by your level. Remnants must live when you are not there; teach them by viewing the age. Even if many problems have come to you, God has a tremendous plan within them. If you lose this (introduction), your prayer is in vain. What you do is meaningless. We need God’s view—not my preconception, but the saving preconception of God that seeks to save. Even some wise unbelievers say, “A person changes more than twelve times.” God is blessing you with a very important plan. Always look with that eye.

▣ Main
1. The past (a platform)
What is our past—and the past of many? In one word, the past is not a scar but a platform.

2. Today
What is our today? In reality there are many problems, difficulties, conflicts, and crises. In a way, our today can be viewed as the future.

3. The future – the throne
Our future can easily feel anxious. But our future is to enjoy the blessing of the throne of God.

2. Today (past, future, eternity)
In fact, our today contains the past, the future, and the eternal. Upon what platform shall we build it?

1. The past (a platform)
(1) Genesis 3, 6, 11 (the hidden background)
We can easily fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11 regarding the past.

(2) Scars
We also end up carrying scars. Genesis 3, 6, and 11 are a hidden background, so people do not realize it. Suppose you have a family. Is it helpful if your husband revolves around you—or your wife around you? Anyone with a bit of sense recognizes that when you center on the other person, it benefits you. Is it better to act by my thoughts, or by God’s thoughts? The results are immense. Left unchecked, I think only centered on myself—falling into the terrifying Genesis 3, 6, and 11. Remember this well.

This applies to ministers too. Is it better to think centered on myself—or on the congregation? Even by calculation alone, centering on the congregation benefits me. At work, many ask, “What benefit do I get?”—that is a loss. Such a person is unnecessary to the company. Ask, “How can I benefit the company?”—then I live. I always say this: either have great faith, or a good mind, or good choices—at least one. If you lack faith, lack sense, and have a foul temper—this “trinity” harms others. Either have true faith or realize rightly. If centered on “me,” only scars remain—no thanksgiving. And Satan targets that.

(3) Family line
God wants all these things in your family line to become a platform for blessing. This is God’s preconception. It becomes very important.

2. Today (past, future, eternity)
(1) Problem – answer
As often said: problems are not matters for worry; they are God’s plan to lead us to the answer.

(2) Conflict – renewal
Recurring conflicts are God’s blessing to lift you a level—today is for renewal.

(3) Crisis – opportunity
Crisis is God’s amazing blessing to grant opportunity. Someone once said, “Crisis is opportunity.” The principle is right: God desires to bless us in this way (main 2).

Always, in work and in viewing people, throw away my preconception. Everyone has them—about “so-and-so,” about this elder or that person. Then when a problem comes, you interpret it only by your own lens—causing immense trouble.

Helen Keller’s main problem was not herself but her parents. The greatest obstacle to her healing was her parents’ preconception: “She cannot.” But Teacher Anne Sullivan said otherwise: “She can—because I did, by God’s power.”

Such preconceptions make tremendous differences and create different paths. Though our future seems anxious, it is not. God has prepared this (the throne) blessing for you. Believe firmly.

3. The future – [the throne]

(1) The kingdom of God
The kingdom of God has come upon you. This is your future. Going to the kingdom later is another story; for now, the kingdom has come.

(2) The work of the kingdom of God
After it comes upon me, it comes upon my work. “The LORD was with Joseph”—that is the kingdom. “Whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper”—that is the work of the kingdom.

(3) Throne-ization
Thus we enjoy the blessing of throne-ization. To enjoy the gospel, I must be gospel-ized; to save the world, I must be world-ized; to convey the throne’s blessing, I must be throne-ized.

I often travel abroad. I don’t even think of it as “going overseas.” I used to feel jet lag; now I don’t—since even in Korea I sleep little. Seniors say, “I can’t sleep.” Do not worry. Doctors speak from scientific and medical statistics—we ought to reference them—but every person differs. As we age, we tend to sleep with our mouth open; long sleep can be harmful. Shorter, segmented sleep with daytime dozing often helps more. One Japanese physician split cancer patients into two groups: one slept eight hours (the medical recommendation), the other only three. The three-hour group recovered faster. I’m not arguing medical doctrine—rather: do not be anxious.

Many elements around you feed anxiety—blood pressure rises with age; that can be normal. The “normal” standards were set largely by pharmaceutical companies; do not be ruled by fear.

God has reserved for you the blessing of the throne. Be assured. In this way, in your remaining years you will give greater glory to God, gain greater strength, and carry out world evangelization.

▣ Conclusion: Simultaneity
View the past, present, and future simultaneously—against God’s timetable from eternity past to eternity. Think as though filming the movie of a life. A film without thrill, problem, or crisis is dull. Your life is such a film.

Glory
Surely God will reveal His glory through you.
This week’s small-group lesson is very important. If this (introduction) is not established, worship, prayer, and the Word become vain. Now, with God’s preconception, view everything. See children with that eye—it changes. See adults with that eye—it changes everything.

In my village there was a man who behaved strangely; all pointed fingers. But a teacher with the gospel met him and smiled, saying, “I’m praying for you.” The young man was moved and asked, “What are you praying for me?” The teacher shared the gospel and added, “You can.” That one short word began his change.

People do change. Speak a word of blessing once a day to your children. Our language too easily curses—then how can they not fall?
May today be a day of great grace for you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Our Immanuel Seoul Church must be full—even on holidays. I will pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, let us discover ourselves within Your plan. Today, by the power unknown to people, heal me. Use us as witnesses who rescue those in many hardships. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading
Isaiah 62:6-12

6 I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
    they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
    give yourselves no rest,
7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
    and makes her the praise of the earth.

8 The Lord has sworn by his right hand
    and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain
    as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
    for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat it
    and praise the Lord,
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
    in the courts of my sanctuary.”

10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
    Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!
    Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.

11 The Lord has made proclamation
    to the ends of the earth:
“Say to Daughter Zion,
    ‘See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
    and his recompense accompanies him.’”
12 They will be called the Holy People,
    the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
    the City No Longer Deserted.

Message
The 300% of the Watchman Remnant
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

God has set you and the Remnants as watchmen. How must we prepare for this calling?

▣ Introduction – The Gospel and Prayer (300%)
If you know the gospel and prayer, you can begin forming this 300% system right now. Those who do not know it speak only from their own standards. The world today is in confusion—people live longer, but also grow weaker and more anxious. Yet, when you know the gospel and prayer, the older you become, the more successful you can be.

Moses began anew at 80 years old on Mt Horeb. Elijah began again past 80. Paul said, “I have not yet obtained it, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.” Many scholars say he was over 75 when he said this. Even those who began in poverty found success through the covenant.

1. Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost – Find the bartizan God has given through prayer. Follow the journey and set up guideposts.

2. Professionalism, Field, Future – Within this system, professionalism arises—not to compete, but to save. You will gain strength in the field and prepare for the future. Since Remnants go out as watchmen, they must find the 300% power of the gospel and prayer.

3. 24, 25, Eternity – Live with 24-hour prayer, enjoy 25-hour answers, and hold to eternal things.

4. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation – These follow naturally: Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. From long ago, there have been many who tried to block the evangelism movement, but you will see the evidence of world evangelization reaching the 5,000 tribes.

You already possess this power—believe it. Don’t be deceived by human words. Older believers, receive new strength. Those without academic credentials, know that those who possess this power have seen God’s works regardless of education. Remnants—do not be deceived. Remember this firmly.

▣ Main – What Cannot Be Changed
With this power, you can change everything. By our own strength, we cannot even change ourselves.

1. The 7 Disasters and the Remnants Who Stood
Look at the Remnants who appeared in the age of the seven disasters.

1) Genesis 41:38 – Pharaoh said, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God?” Joseph’s power brought world evangelization. Not believing in God’s power is the greatest sin. May unbelievers say of our Remnants: “You are filled with the Spirit of the LORD,” or “The God who is with you will surely deliver you.”

2) Exodus 2:1–10 – Moses already knew this power as a child, so even at 80 he could begin anew.

3) 1 Samuel 7:1–15 – As long as Samuel lived, there was no war—because he knew this power.

4) 1 Samuel 16:13 – The first thing that happened to David: the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him. “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,” says the LORD. You don’t create this fact—simply believe it. “The righteous will live by faith.”

5) 2 Kings 2:9–11 – Elisha asked, “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” Without this, he could not overcome Aram. Without this prayer today, we cannot overcome the darkness. Begin today with this faith and power.

6) Isaiah 62:6–12 – God says, “I have set watchmen on your walls who will give Me no rest.” Build the highway, lift up a banner for the nations, and let the LORD’s power come upon you 24 hours a day.

7) Acts 1:3, 8 – Jesus explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for 40 days and said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.”

2. Knowing the Gospel (7·7·7) but Not Prayer
The greatest danger is knowing the gospel but not prayer.

1) Acts 11:1–18 – Such people come to church and speak nonsense. They may be saved but have no power of prayer, knowing only the flesh.

2) Galatians 2:10–20 – Peter said, “Even believers must keep Jewish law.” God cannot use such people.

3) 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 – “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world… we demolish strongholds.” Those strongholds are human thoughts. Without prayer, they never change.

4) 2 Corinthians 4:4–5 – They love the world and are blinded by the “god of this age.”

5) John 16:11–14 – They know nothing of God’s will and end up serving the ruler of this world.

Remnants, remember this—without prayer, you may live your whole life this way.

3. Paul’s Team
God used Paul’s team—those who knew the gospel and prayer.

1) Acts 13:1–4; 16:6–10; 19:1–8 – Bartizan
They built the bartizan of the LORD through the power of the Holy Spirit.

2) Healing – Journey
Wherever they went, darkness broke and healing arose—that was their journey.

3) Synagogue – Guidepost
Why did they go to synagogues and lecture halls? To set guideposts.

The answers God gave to them, you can also receive. When you believe, your bartizan is established. When the bartizan rises, darkness collapses, and visible answers begin to come—guideposts are set.

▣ Conclusion

1. Watchman’s Timetable – 24
The watchman’s timetable is 24 hours.

2. Watchman’s Answer – 25
The watchman’s answer is 25 hours—the works of God beyond time.

3. Watchman’s Work – Eternity (00)
The watchman’s masterpiece is eternal. It continues even now.

When you say “I believe” and “Amen” during worship, that already becomes your bartizan—though people do not realize it. Unbelief, worry, and doubt only block it. Faith itself is the start of the answer. “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” The bartizan is already built. Then you walk the journey, and visible answers appear—the guideposts.

To all multiethnic people sitting here: say, “I will surely go and evangelize my nation. Even while I am here, I will prepare for that. The method is God’s power—the work of the Holy Spirit alone. I will find such disciples.” That itself becomes your bartizan. Then you will walk that path.

Those who are sick—do not be afraid. If possible, at a quiet time, pray aloud. Command healing in the name of Christ. That becomes your bartizan.

Forum & Prayer

According to Your Word

Psalm 119:107. I have suffered much; preserve my life, Lord, according to your word.

David cried out to God for revival, not according to his emotions but according to the Word. He understood that prayer without the Word is like a ship without a rudder—adrift, uncertain, and easily carried away by the waves of circumstance. The Word reveals the heart of God and provides direction for prayer, anchoring our petitions in the promises of God.

When we pray according to His Word, the throne of the Triune God moves. Jesus said, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you” (John 15:7). Prayer aligned with the Word unleashes the power of the throne, not because of our eloquence, but because it reflects God’s will.

God is not impressed by programs, strategies, or outward strength. He is looking for hearts that submit to His Word and listen to His Spirit. He searches for those who know the mystery of prayer—those who long to walk with Him, not just work for Him. Without His direction revealed in the Word, our efforts will be useless. That is why prayer and the Word must become the two pillars of our lives.

Jesus modeled this perfectly. His life was a rhythm of prayer and obedience. “Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house, and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed” (Mark 1:35). Even amid His busy ministry, He often withdrew to lonely places to pray (Luke 5:16), and there were nights when He prayed until dawn (Luke 6:12).

To pray is not merely to speak—it is to be with God, enjoying and and communicating with Him. You don’t have to ask for anything. Your Father already knows what you need before you ask (Matthew 6:8). Prayer is the joy of being in His presence, the time of listening to His voice through the Word.

Prayer is surrendering your will to His, the moment you choose His kingdom and righteousness above your own desires (Matthew 6:33). As you make prayer your life, like breathing, you will begin to sense the living presence of the Holy Spirit guiding, renewing, and strengthening you in ways you could never have imagined. And others will see His presence reflected through your life.

So today, withdraw to your solitary place. Turn off the noise. Be still before God. Let His Word speak and His Spirit breathe new life into your soul.

Prayer. Father, draw me close to You today. Teach me to enjoy Your presence more than anything else. Let my heart be anchored in Your Word, and let prayer become my delight and strength. Renew me, Lord, according to Your Word. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Form the Young Adults Evangelism Team

Prayer Journal: November 12, 2025
08. Feb. 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 19:8-10

What is the best meeting for us? And what is the best time?
Please take a moment to think about this with some margin.

I served as an associate pastor in several churches. There is one thing I always did. As I observed people, I could see who might be ready for evangelism. With those people I quietly carried out evangelism—separately from every other task. We never used a budget or mobilized anyone; we simply proclaimed the gospel. There are many who are appointed for salvation. While doing only that, I received every blessing by God’s grace.

「Forming An Evangelism Team」 – 300%
From today, begin praying about this. It is best to center it on young adults, but the point is forming an evangelism team. Do this with ample margin. Think it through. A single such team can revive a church.

How should we do it? We must discover what must work. That is what we call 300%. Find it with margin. Let me give just one example.

I was assigned to the elementary department. The church was large, but there were very few elementary students. That itself was not the issue. Since the church was a central church, I checked the elementary schools around it—there were six. The urgent group was the sixth graders, because they were about to move up to middle school. I prayed only about this, and then something surprised me. The very best is to hold Bible study right in front of the six schools. I was the only one shocked by what I saw. When I checked, every one of our church leaders’ homes was located right in front of a school. Another shock. No one else knew; only I had seen it. I told those church leaders, and it was 100% welcomed—more than welcomed, they were thrilled. Because the children would come, they prepared gifts and snacks.

Even more amazing, we needed teachers to be responsible for those kids. When we looked for teachers—exactly six appeared. We were astonished. When do you hold it? On Saturdays. As soon as school ended, they came in. Even focusing only on sixth graders, the numbers grew large. What happened? It was 300% prepared. It could not fail.

Among the sixth graders there were capable kids. We set them as leaders: “Bring your friends.” Then, while staying within proper boundaries, they still brought even fifth graders. We held Bible study. We explained to the children what the gospel is and what prayer is. In no time—without chasing numbers—the count surpassed a thousand. The first, second, and third floors of the sanctuary were packed. That’s how it goes.

Everywhere I went I looked for this 300%. Try it. Pastors, we do not need to be in a hurry. If you do this, three things come first. (I will say it again at the conclusion.) Prepared disciples, answers first, and blessings first will come.

▣ Introduction_ Three things
Because time is short, let me state it simply: three things must match.

1. Direction
Your direction must match God’s. Whether things seem to work or not, this must align. If God tells you to go east, you must not go west.
Abraham thought matching this direction would be difficult. “How can my offspring do world evangelization when I don’t even have a child?” He could not understand. “Leave your country, your people, and your father’s household”—he could not grasp where to go. Then one day Abraham realized—and that’s when it began. Direction.
Christ said, “Go to all nations.” “Go to all peoples.” He promised, “I will be with you.” If this (direction) is true, then wherever I went I looked only for how to evangelize. You cannot just evangelize at random. “How can we do this (300%) so it must work?” Usually, what I must ask pastors is: stop trying what will not work. Do what will work. Finding that is a great joy. You will be surprised. When pastors envision this, they will be surprised on their own: “How can this be?” When you go into the region and field, everything is already prepared. It is astonishing. If we miss this blessing, how can we pray and expect our work to stand?

2. Goal – 7·7·7
Your goal must match God’s. There is direction, but there is also a destination. That is the bartizan, journey, and guidepost. God’s goal is to lead us into these.

3. Prayer
More important still: prayer must match. We must pray what God wants. In simple terms, three things:

1) Watchman (the throne) – The watchman’s prayer: enjoying the blessing of the throne.

2) The kingdom – Jesus clearly taught, “Pray for God’s kingdom to come.” We must pray the prayer Jesus taught in Scripture.

3) The work (Acts 1:3) – He explained the work of the kingdom of God for 40 days.

4) The kingdom (Matthew 6:10, 33) – In Matthew 6:10 He told us to pray for God’s kingdom to be realized. In verse 33 He told us to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. This is prayer. If none of these match, of course there will be no answers to prayer.

▣ Main_ 300%
As you do this, direction becomes crucial. This is evangelism and missions—direction is everything. How do we take hold of direction? Again, 300%. Go by this. Let me show a few passages.

1. Acts 17:1–9
2. Acts 18:1–4
3. Acts 19:8–20

What are these about? All three are synagogue-centered.

1. Acts 17:1–9
(1) Synagogue – three Sabbaths: He went into the synagogue—for three Sabbaths, due to the available days.
(2) Marketplace: Both the synagogue and the marketplace appear.
(3) Jason: A prepared person named Jason was there.
(4) Prominent women and Greeks: When the gospel was proclaimed, prominent women and Greeks believed.
(5) Christ: Most crucially, he explained Christ—in three ways. If you do not know Christ, you know nothing.
– Necessity: Why you need Christ now.
– Inevitability: Absolutely impossible without Christ.
– Absoluteness: The only and absolute answer—Christ.
I told a Buddhist monk plainly: “Among religions, in terms of moral teaching, Buddhism is excellent. But there is no Christ. That is why you die. Your spiritual problem cannot be solved; you cannot receive salvation.” Christ. Prepare perfectly—300%.

2. Acts 18:1–4
(1) Synagogue – every Sabbath: Again the synagogue—every Sabbath.
(2) Vocation: The tentmaking work—connection with industry.
(3) 300% (prayer): From here emerges the 300% prayer. What is it? “Every Sabbath” means they made this their serious place of prayer. He taught them on this point—what prayer is. He taught this to the remnants.

3. Acts 19:8–20
(1) Synagogue – the kingdom: He entered the synagogue again and, for three months, spoke boldly about the kingdom of God.
(2) Lecture hall: Then he moved into the lecture hall.
(3) Three months – two years: He first proclaimed about the kingdom for three months, then conducted a full two years of concentrated Word movement. Works arose across the whole region. Here we have viewed only the synagogue slice.

If you are only prepared like this, every answer will come. Many theologians still seem unable to grasp what Jesus meant by “It is finished.” If He finished everything, then why…? They cannot accept it—because they want to insert human effort afterward. That is a grave mistake.

He said He finished our way. Therefore we are to find that way—that is the life of faith. It is perfect. If you do not realize this, you cannot evangelize. Evangelism is enjoying what God has prepared 300%. When remnants know this, works arise.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Evangelism Team ]
Why form evangelism teams? Begin in prayer and try it. The team need not be official, and the more there are, the better. If your church has many evangelism teams—that is ideal. In some sense, there should be numerous teams. That is right.

Only, you must be able to do this (300%). Once this appears, three things take place:

1. Preparation
You will meet the person God has prepared. “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart,” didn’t He? In Acts 17, Jason was prepared. Paul did not pre-arrange to meet Priscilla and Aquila; he met them in Corinth. This is the first blessing.

2. Answer
Next, answers come first. What answers?
(1) Guidance of the Holy Spirit – In Acts 13, Acts 16, and early Acts 19, they were completely led by the Spirit. This is crucial. Pastors, please do not move until this emerges. Once guidance is clear—Acts 13:1–4; Acts 16:6–10, 16–19; Acts 19:1–7—they moved under full guidance.
(2) Work of the Holy Spirit – From then on, the works of healing the Nephilim (overturning the darkness) arose—the Spirit’s work.
(3) Fruit of the Holy Spirit – Systems and disciples inevitably emerged—the Spirit’s fruit. From that point, works arise even in places where you, pastors, do not personally go. That is right. The multiethnic people here must be able to do this when they return to their nations.

3. Blessing (3)
God first gives these blessings. More importantly, because these blessings are invisible, people are deceived. So let me restate it:

The moment you hold this covenant, three things begin:
The blessing of the throne begins to arise. The kingdom of God comes. God sends the armies of heaven. The work of the kingdom of God is accomplished. These blessings keep coming. There is nothing greater than this. If you keep enjoying this, you will simply go and confirm on site what is already prepared.

Therefore, this year, because of one person—you, the church must come alive. Find the people scattered here and there.

Communication with People (Upward, Downward, Sideways) and the Answer of 25

2023.09.24 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:1-4, Romans 16:1-27

▣ Introduction

These days, according to statistics, the number of people who suddenly suffer from depression has greatly increased.
And there are now many more people who carry wounds and pain in their hearts. Many are suddenly diagnosed with cancer and suffer in great pain and hardship. But in fact, you do not need to worry—our church has many good systems. Right now, key individuals are preparing for healing ministries and for how to teach Remnants to pray. If you know people like this, you must also evangelize to them, bring them to church, and connect them practically.

[Brain] – [Body] – [Spirit]
So why is prayer necessary? Because this (the brain) must first come alive. Usually when we face difficulties or problems, they all come from issues in this area. Some people have a hard time because they cannot control their emotions; there are also many who suffer because they cannot hold back their anger. Some, when driving, if someone slightly gets in their way, they take a hammer out of the trunk and smash the car—they cannot hold it in. It is not that they are particularly evil people; it is because this (the brain) is in a difficult state. Even whether students study well or not is related to this (the brain). We are now preparing professionally to help and heal these aspects.

Now the three-day weekend age is gradually opening, and as it opens, we must do this kind of work. But instead of using the term “healing” too much—because the word “healing” sounds like something for sick people—it may be good to use a more positive expression. People in special positions often do not go to anything called a “healing team,” because they would then be the ones receiving healing. That is why the three organizations do this very well. They call it “mindfulness.” With children, they call it “how to study well.” When a golfer wins a tournament, they visit and ask, “How can we strengthen mental power?” and they teach that.

We actually have the real thing, far greater than what they have, but although we are preparing, many doors must still open. Thankfully, there are many talented people in our church right now who can do this work—this is something to be thankful for. Ultimately, this (the brain) must be healed, because it governs the whole body. But it does not end there—next is our spirit. That is why Hebrews 4:12 says, “It penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.”

“Communication with people”
With this in mind, today and next week the message we must forum on is communication with people. Since you are saved, how is your communication with others? Those who are saved have the Holy Spirit, so their way of seeing people is different. Those who are not saved do not have the Holy Spirit, so they see people from a worldly or self-centered perspective. We must not see people that way.

This gospel leaves an eternal mark even through a brief devotion. On Pentecost, people from fifteen nations who had come to Jerusalem received grace in the Mark’s Upper Room. After receiving grace, they offered to the Mark’s Upper Room church. That offering became the light economy that changed the world. Among them were people from Rome—that was the couple, Priscilla and Aquila. We must see people with such eyes. You never know what kind of plan God will fulfill through you. Certainly, no one knows what kind of plan God will fulfill through your children—only God knows.

So when we say we receive answers to prayer, it means that we understand these things and our spiritual state becomes aligned with them.

▣ Main

1. Upward (God – people) – pastors, church leaders, assistant ministers
In human relationships, there are always people above us. But when we look upward, we do not look only at those above us—we look at God who blesses us through them, and within that, we see people. From this perspective, pastors, church leaders, and assistant ministers are all extremely important. Even one assistant pastor in our church is very important. Most people do not have eyes to see this. If they do not, then all their efforts become vain, and their walk of faith is in vain. How can someone receive answers if they do not see the value of an elder or the value of the congregation? If someone does not see the pastor as precious, what use is it to listen to the sermon? This is extremely important.

2. Sideways (the field of answers)
Through this (the upward relationship), much of God’s blessing arises, and at the same time, we also have the sideways relationship. “Sideways” refers to the many fields of answers that are right next to us.

3. Downward (future – Remnant)
There are three directions. The downward direction refers to our future and to the Remnant. That is how important it is.

1. Upward (God – people) – pastors, church leaders, assistant ministers

1) Fulfillment of the Word
Through this (upward direction), God certainly fulfills His Word. That is why we hold onto the pulpit message—not the sermon itself, but the Word of God proclaimed through the pulpit. The fulfillment of this Word will surely take place. Even if all 7 billion people in the world deny it, it is true. That is why worship is so important.
2) Worship
During worship, we must receive great grace.
3) Prayer answers
Even in worship, we must hold onto the answers of prayer. Because God’s Word is surely fulfilled, you must gain strength through worship and go forth holding the answers of prayer in advance. This is the blessing that comes from above. Those who edit our district lessons based on my messages sometimes leave out this part (upward relationship).

2. Sideways (the field of answers) [Acts 18:1–4]
Looking at Acts 18:1–4, I realized that we must give you a slightly new message.

1) Rome (Acts 2:10)
There was an incident in Rome that brought people to Israel—this couple was Priscilla and Aquila. In Acts 2:10 it says, “visitors from Rome,” referring to people like them.
2) Acts 9:1–15
As you know, in Acts 9:1–15, God personally called and changed Paul, the one who would carry out world evangelization.
3) Corinth
Then they met in Corinth. Just before that, Paul had ministered in Athens, where he seemed to have failed—not because he truly failed, but because Athens was a very intellectual city. We all learned about Athens in school—it was a great center of knowledge. So Paul, without realizing it, had relied on intellect. Later he realized, “I resolved to know nothing except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Then he arrived in Corinth and met this team.

This is our sideways relationship. Who would have thought that this meeting would change the age? Only God knew. You must recognize—without arrogance—how precious you are in God’s blessing. If you do not know your own value, you will not recognize the value in others. Failing to see the value of the person beside you makes everything in vain. If you lose hold of the pulpit message and your human relationships, what will happen?

3. Downward (future – Remnant)
This refers to the next generation. Even small devotions given for the future generation will surely bring about God’s works.

1) Isaiah 6:13; 7:14; 60:1–22; 62:6–12
God showed Isaiah a vision and gave him a calling. Isaiah said, “Here am I, send me,” and God replied, “Send the Remnant.” Those who held to this covenant saw works arise even in Babylon. God said, “Teach them what the true gospel of the woman’s offspring is. When they shine their light, those in darkness will come to them. Set them as watchmen.” How blessed this is!
2) Paul
It did not end there. Paul staked his life on this.
(1) Acts 17:1 – He explained why Christ is necessary.
(2) Acts 18:4 – On the Sabbath, he taught what true worship is.
(3) Acts 19:8 – In the school of Tyrannus, he explained what true prayer is.
This is what we must teach the next generation.
3) RUTC
So that future generations may receive this blessing everywhere—the RUTC blessing. It is not a difficult term: Remnant Unity Training Center—a place for Remnants to unite and be trained.

▣ Conclusion
So what must we do as we open the three-day weekend age?

1. Talent (coming-of-age ceremony) – Our Remnants must discover their talents. Discovery comes through prayer.
2. Specialization (mission ceremony) – They must understand their specialization and be equipped with it. Their eyes must also open to see the world correctly.
3. Field (commissioning ceremony) – Then they must be sent out to the field.

Discovering one’s talent is called the coming-of-age ceremony. If the talent is not discovered, no matter the age, one is not truly an adult. Realizing one’s calling is the mission ceremony. And being ready to go into the field is not merely going into the world—it is being sent by God; this is the commissioning ceremony.

As you worship today, may you gain strength through deep prayer. Not only for six days of the week, but may the blessing of God’s kingdom continue in all your remaining time. Spend this Lord’s Day in prayer—it is such a blessing. Our church even has clean air! In your free time, enter into deep prayer.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let there be a time of healing through deep prayer today. Let Your kingdom come upon every place where there are problems. Let this be a day of receiving true spiritual strength. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Only by the Spirit of God

Zechariah 4:6. So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”

God’s people are not called to fight earthly battles but spiritual ones. We are soldiers in the Lord’s army, engaged in a battle that began long before our time—a battle against our true enemy, the devil, as Scripture reminds us, “Endure hardship with us like a good soldier of Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 2:3–4).

The devil is not a myth or symbol. He is a fallen angel with great power, one who deceived the first humans in Eden and has been leading the world toward destruction ever since (Genesis 3:1–5, Revelation 12:9). From the beginning, he has waged war not through visible weapons but through deception, fear, pride, and doubt. He will not surrender before human effort or willpower. He bows only before the power of God.

Scripture describes him as “a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8). His targets are often anxious or spiritually complacent believers. He attacks those who have forgotten that Christ has already won the victory. That is why Scripture commands: “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you.”

The enemy’s strategy has not changed. He still disguises himself as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14). He still manipulates people to draw them away from God. He still blinds the minds of unbelievers so that they cannot see the light of the gospel that displays the glory of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:4). His hierarchy of darkness operates with frightening precision, launching spiritual attacks on every front (Ephesians 6:11–16).

That is why human strength is useless in this war. Our intelligence, wealth, or power cannot overcome the devil’s schemes. The battle is won only “by My Spirit,” says the Lord Almighty (Zechariah 4:6).

The Holy Spirit is our power, and the Word of God is our sword (Ephesians 6:17). The Word pierces through the enemy’s lies—it is “alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword” (Hebrews 4:12). When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness, He did not argue with the devil or rely on reason. He spoke the Word: “It is written.” Each time, the devil retreated in defeat (Matthew 4:1–11).

That same authority belongs to every believer who stands in Christ. When you declare the truth of the gospel, darkness flees. The cross has already broken Satan’s power. The victory of Jesus is now your victory:

“God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and He went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38)

This is the essence of evangelism—to set captives free from the power of Satan, the curse of sin, and the shadow of hell. And the method remains unchanged: “The Word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power” (Acts 19:20).

When you live by the Spirit and speak the Word, the power of the Throne will flow through you. You will become a vessel through which God reveals His might and mercy to the world. Do not be afraid—the same Spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you.

So stand firm. Know who you are in Christ. Do not define yourself by fear, failure, or circumstance, but by the Word of God. The battle is not yours—it belongs to the Lord. Live not by might, nor by power, but by His Spirit.

Prayer. Father, thank You for giving me the victory through Jesus Christ. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may stand firm in Your Word and overcome the schemes of the enemy. Use my life to bring freedom, healing, and salvation to those still trapped in darkness. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Watchman of Prayer

Prayer Journal: November 11, 2025
08. Feb. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:14

Our Remnants must become watchmen of prayer. They just need to learn a little about prayer. So, what exactly is the watchman waiting for?

▣ Introduction. The Watchman

You must know this.

1. The Throne

Because the watchman is not just any watchman, they are waiting for the power and blessing of the Throne.

2. The Kingdom

Then the Kingdom of God is absolutely bound to descend. This (The Throne) is the background, and (The Kingdom) is what is unseen. That is why you must know what prayer is. Because the watchman is the watchman of prayer. Our background is not hell, but the Throne. Unbelievers are bound to have spiritual problems like that. Because their background is hell. That’s why life itself is hell. Going home is also hell. They fight to the death. It has to be that way. Our background is the Throne. Jesus said, “Pray that the Kingdom may come.” He said this. He said, “Seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” This is the prayer Jesus taught. Then what kind of answer comes?

3. The Work

He spoke about the end times. He called it “the work of the Kingdom of God.” This is how it happens. This is the answer. The watchman waits for this.

▣ Main

Now, we should look at the Bible a little bit.

1. Isaiah 62:6-12

The story of the watchman appears here. It tells the secret to victory when Israel was taken captive to Babylon. “I have set watchmen on your walls.”

1) Day and Night

“Day and night, give the Lord no rest.” This means He answers day and night.

2) Highway

“Build up the highway.”

3) All Peoples (Banner)

“Lift up a banner for all peoples.” This is the kind of watchman you are.

2. Ezekiel 3:18-20

Next, it is recorded in Ezekiel 3:18-20: “Now, let it be known to the many who are dying.”

1) Warning

You have to let them know, don’t you? The watchman is the person who notifies. They notify, “A crisis has come.” What if an accident occurs because you did not notify?

2) Bloodguilt

He spoke of “bloodguilt.” If you notify them, and they don’t listen, there is nothing you can do, but what if they die because you did not notify them? He spoke to us this way. That is the kind of watchman they are. If an urgent accident occurs, you have to let them know, don’t you? This (Main Point 1) is the watchman who guards this power (Throne, Kingdom, Work) in advance.

3. Acts 1:1-14

Finally, Jesus established an immense bartizan.

1) Bartizan

The watchman must have a bartizan, right?

2) Journey

And they are not just any watchman, and it is not just any bartizan; they are a watchman who goes on a moving Journey.

3) Guidepost

The 300% answer comes everywhere. Guidepost. The Remnants must remember this.

▣ Conclusion

This is the conclusion.

1. Protector

The watchman is a person who protects. We call them ‘protectors.’ They are people who protect.

2. Notifier

This watchman notifies. They don’t just notify.

3. Delivery (Express Messenger)

The watchman also replaces and delivers so that the next, other person can come. This is called an express messenger (pabal). Do you know the word pabal? In the old days, there were no phones. In the old days, there was no TV for news either. But one person committed a crime. So, they were exiled to that island. Some people had to stay there for the rest of their lives, but some were executed at the appropriate time. Even for the execution, it was not like today; they were given a dose of poison in a bowl of medicine to make them die. But the King looked and realized that this was a false accusation. This person was confined on that island, but it was a false accusation. So the King would give a document. “Hurry and go inform the local governor of this and save that person.” If it were now, we would just call, but back then, there were no phones. They had to go there immediately, directly. That is called pabal. But one person cannot go the entire way. They arrived at Cheongdo, but they cannot go any further. They have to go to Waegwan, so someone would be waiting in Cheongdo to receive this and go to Waegwan. That is the pabal. And what happens if someone drops this document on the way? Then, the person confined on that island dies without knowing anything. It is that important. You, the Remnants, can do this (being the watchman of prayer) better than the adults. The watchman of prayer. That is why you become the spiritual summit before becoming the summit. You must be so. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to have a day of healing and great strength all day long today. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. May today be a day of healing. May it be a day to gain great strength, and may it be a time when the Kingdom of God and His work are accomplished. May all unbelief and the power of darkness be bound, may all systems blocking the Gospel be bound, and may all curses hindering the work of saving people be bound. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Communication with God and the Answer of 25

2023.09.17 District Message
Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:10

The greatest blessing you possess is communication with God. Unbelievers do not know this. At this time we come to enjoy the 25 answer.

▣ Introduction. The flow
When we actually go into the field, it is hard to say we will change the flow. Yet in the Bible and history, one woman in Egypt changed the entire flow—Jochebed. She did not do something “big,” but she was enjoying this part (communication with God). She changed it. And when the Philistine era opened, as you know, one woman—Hannah—changed the flow. Then you must become the protagonists who enjoy this blessing.

The world (the flesh)
When you mainly look, what flow is this world following? It is almost entirely following the flesh. We also go along like this, but this (the world/the flesh) is not us. However, if we have no power, we end up having to follow this (the world/the flesh).

The church (the law)
Even many churches keep fighting because they keep following the flow of the law. So “you are right, I am right, wrong, right”—they continue this fight, and even though the purpose of the law is actually love, right? they end up losing this (the law).

Self (Genesis 3, 6, 11)
Even we, if we are not careful, because we try to live by our own thoughts, we end up following the flow of Genesis 3, 6, and 11.

Therefore, if you know just this (Introduction) part, in fact you can change the flow easily.

▣ Main. The flow of God
We do not fight saying, “We must change the world,” but we follow the flow of God. There are nine things that change the flow; in today’s Lesson 38, three were presented.

1. Width
2. Height
3. Depth

If you combine these three (width, height, depth), that is information. We must not do anything without information. If you do business without any information, you will fail. If you go somewhere without any information, you will suffer. Likewise, it is the same with our spiritual matters.

1. Width [ Transcending time and space ]
What width do we follow? We possess the width that transcends time and space through communication with God, which no one knows. Do not be discouraged; you must pray. Do not be discouraged while praying for your family. Do not be discouraged because an answer does not come quickly as you pray over something. The answer that transcends time and space will surely come—an answer that no person can block.

2. Height [ What is most excellent ]
What is height? We look to and walk toward what is most excellent.

(1) Below common sense
If we are below common sense, things become difficult.

(2) Common sense
Many people live at the level of common sense. We cannot remain with only this.

(3) Beyond common sense
When you see beyond common sense—of course you keep common sense—you begin to see what belongs to God. What does this mean? If you suffer an injustice, what will you do? Suppose Joseph simply committed suicide—that is below common sense, right? “I will surely survive and return and avenge myself on my brothers”—that is common sense. “Ah, this is not that my brothers sold me; God is sending me to fulfill His plan for world evangelization”—that is beyond common sense. It is simple, isn’t it? Keep discovering like this. Then the answer that changes every flow will surely come to you. Think about it: one person like us with no power—that you would change the flow is tremendous. And it changes by this (Main 2).

An elder I know said of himself—didn’t I tell you before—that he could only finish elementary school. It was such a grief to him that he studied hard and sent all his younger siblings to Seoul National University. He went to work; everyone used a pair of gloves once and threw them away. He picked them up, washed them all, and put them back. “Oh?” People used them again. He did not do it to show anyone—he just thought it was a waste. He washed them and brought them back. Later people found out. Those above also found out. Over such a small thing—God seated him in a high position. Though he lacked schooling, he had that kind of faith. He had only finished elementary school, yet later—during President Park Chung-hee’s era—he was appointed professor at the Saemaeul Training Institute. That is height.

What is width? Your prayer transcends time and space. You must surely remember this.

3. Depth [ God’s plan ]
What is depth? We see the plan of God. No matter what anyone says, our lives are governed by God, so we look at God’s plan.

(1) Absolute plan
Even when it is very difficult, and even when prayer does not go well, think, “What is God’s absolute plan?” These people all saw this.

(2) Absolute timetable
Then God’s absolute timetable comes. It comes when you are fixed on that plan.

(3) Timetable to save
At that time, just as with the Remnants, the timetable to save others comes. From then on, you become witnesses and works arise.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion?
[ 12 strategies of Satan ]
When spiritual communication with God takes place, you are completely set free from the twelve strategies of Satan.
[ Plan ]
Even if it seems a bit difficult, when things are hard and you pray, you come to see God’s plan. You will see it like this.
[ WIO ]
Then at last, among the important answers you receive, what answer is it? You come to know that God is with me, that He is with us as Immanuel, and that He is with us in all things.
[ Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation ]
From then on, in your studies and work, what answer comes? The answer of Only comes. Then the timetable of Uniqueness is firmly established. Then comes Re-creation. No matter what anyone says, Immanuel Seoul, which is under construction—though the main part has been completed—is still continuing. In Busan, Ulsan, Changwon, and many places churches are arising, and no one will be able to block this evangelism movement, this movement of the age. From now on, begin your challenge.

1. [ Books ] – Editing
In my case, since I did not know how to do it, I checked many books on those matters. Studying is most important. There is no other way. There is a limit to asking people; when I looked up many books, something became visible—editing.

2. [ The Word ] – Design (blueprint)
But truly, as I prayed, it was not books I saw but the Word. In the past, when I read the Book of Acts, there was no enjoyment for me. “It’s all talk about houses—what is this, a real-estate office?” That is how I felt. Once evangelism was edited and I understood it, I began to see the Word of God exactly. This is called the blueprint that discerns God’s plan. You just need to challenge.

3. [ The field ] – Design (in practice)
Once this answer came, even if you are very dull, you begin to see the field. This is what we call design.

Books are not merely for “studying”—they let you meet many people without going to them. Right? Without going to Europe myself, there is only one way to meet it—by reading. To meet many national presidents? There is no time. So you read. Therefore, there is nothing difficult. I read over 100 books about evangelism. Then—oh?—your thinking begins to change. But it is not finished with that. As I enjoyed it in prayer, I saw the Word. The Word became alive and worked powerfully. Why must we build the sanctuary? The three courtyards. I began to see the Word. Why must we build the sanctuary? The 237 nations, healing, summit. I began to see the Word like this. Then you can see the field. Even if you do not hold high degrees, or many degrees, you can do it like this (Conclusion).

For over thirty years I have practiced the breathing that preserves health; I also read over 100 books on that. While doing it with prayer I have seen great effect. To the point that—without dye—my hair is fine, and my eyesight is not dim. Do I sleep much? I slept only two hours last night. I am fine—continually enjoying prayer like this. I have evidence. Therefore, do not be discouraged; from now on, challenge. God will surely fulfill His Word.

Even today, in your empty moments, you must enter into deep prayer. On the Lord’s Day that is most important. Do not think many thoughts. Enter deep prayer. An acquaintance of mine, a deacon, did nothing criminal, but because he could not pay another’s debt he went to prison. There he should have prayed much. But he thought much. Do you know what happens if you think much? You come out holding onto something else. He came to me and said he would go to seminary. I was truly frustrated. I could not tell him not to go. By what right could I say that? By what authority could I criticize him? He was a bit unusual—how could I criticize? Already, I myself, lacking as I am, became a pastor and feel sorry; how could I tell him not to? Why did it turn out that way? Because he thought too much. For unbelievers, thinking is important. Right? Though a reed, it is called “a thinking reed”—that is where the phrase came from. That is for unbelievers. If you think much, you fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11. We are those who must pray much. It is surely different. At least on the Lord’s Day, do not entertain other thoughts. Do not think—begin prayer, holding onto the Word. Evidence will surely appear in your health, your work, and your studies. Therefore I bless you to become those witnesses in the name of Jesus Christ. Let me pray.

Prayer. Grant us communication with God today to gain spiritual strength. In deep prayer, let health be restored. In deep prayer, grant us power to solve many spiritual problems. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
