Why Do We Need to Continue with the Word?

Hebrews 5:13-14. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.


Just as a person with a weak digestive system cannot break down the nutrients they consume, a spiritually immature person lacks the capacity to process the challenges they face in life. They remain in a state of spiritual infancy, dependent on “milk” because they are not yet ready for the solid food of deeper truth (Hebrews 5:12-13).

Because they lack spiritual maturity, they have no strength to overcome their own weaknesses, the lingering scars of the past, the challenging reality of today, or the paralyzing uncertainty of the future. In this fragile state, they often suffer from broken hearts and fractured minds. Consequently, they become obsessed with the temporary things of the world and inadvertently harbor poisonous thoughts—loneliness, sorrow, hatred, resentment, and despair.

Without the Word of life to anchor them, they labor in vain, trapped in a cycle of grumbling and arguing like an infant. They find themselves driven by a “warped and crooked generation,” and the harder they try to escape the quicksand of life through human effort, the deeper and faster they sink into the pit (Philippians 2:14-16).

However, if one continues in the Word and chooses to obey, God’s love truly begins to work within them. This transformation is the evidence that they are living in Him (1 John 2:5). The Word is not just for comfort; it is the most powerful weapon in the believer’s arsenal against the devil.

We are commanded to “take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17). Knowing this, Jesus Himself defeated the devil’s temptations by declaring the written Word of God (Luke 4:4, 8, 12). This is why a pure Word movement—the consistent, accurate proclamation of the gospel—is critical in our spiritual struggles against the enemy.

When the people of Jerusalem received the Word of God from Peter on the day of Pentecost, they didn’t just gain knowledge; they saw visions and dreamed dreams (Acts 2:17). That singular encounter with the Word empowered them to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Likewise, if we continue to receive the Word with an open and obedient heart, the Holy Spirit will begin a transformative work in our lives that moves us from the frailty of infancy to the authority of spiritual maturity.


Prayer. Father, I keep Your Word in my heart this morning. By the power of Your living Word, heal me and strengthen me so that I may grow in faith in Christ Jesus and stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He Abides

Hymn
He Abides
Herbert Buffum

I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see;
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this:
That the Comforter abides with me.

He abides, He abides;
Hallelujah, He abides with me!
I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the Comforter abides with me.

Once my heart was full of sin,
Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree;
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet;
Now the Comforter abides with me.

He is with me everywhere,
And He knows my every care;
I’m as happy as a bird and just as free;
For the Spirit has control;
Jesus satisfies my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me.

There’s no thirsting for the things
Of the world—they’ve taken wings;
Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day,
All my burdens rolled away;
Now the Comforter abides with me.

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Charles Wesley 

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.

John 3

Leader: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
People: that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Leader: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
People: but to save the world through him.

Leader: Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
People: but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Leader: This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,
People: but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Leader: Everyone who does evil hates the light,
People: and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

Leader: But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,
People: so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.


Hymn
Jesus Paid It All
Elvina M. Hall

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone. Refrain

For nothing good have I
Where by Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain

And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat. Refrain


Scripture Reading
Exodus 3:1-18
Carmetta Williams

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name forever,
    the name you shall call me
    from generation to generation.

16 “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, 
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.  Chorus

The Preparation During the Remnant Years that Changes the World

Prayer Journal: February 20, 2026
17. May 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:13


Among the Remnants, there will be those who say, “I haven’t discovered my talent.” That might actually be better. A talent discovered right now without prayer might not be your own. Many people struggle for a lifetime because of that. There will be those who say, “Not much is working out for me right now.” That could be much better. Why is that? What is “working out” isn’t necessarily what is right. There are people who live well without knowing God at all. That becomes a problem later. Perhaps, the fact that you have no background and your family situation isn’t good might be better.

[RT – Preparation – World]
What is prepared during the Remnant years changes the world. So what must happen? It’s okay even if you have no background.

▣ Introduction _ Watchman

This must be realized during the Remnant years. This is what must be imprinted first. If success is imprinted first without this? It’s not much help. That success will “help” you for a lifetime while simultaneously making things not work out for a lifetime. If you become a judge or succeed without the Gospel entering you at all, you might have succeeded, but the Gospel may never enter you for your entire life. It won’t enter even when you are at the brink of death. This must happen first during the Remnant years.
If you know what a watchman is, you move the world.

[Bartizan]
If you know what a watchman is, you make a bartizan. It is the tremendous bartizan given by Christ.

[Journey] [Guidepost]
You make these. They are continuously made as you live. How important this is.

[Bartizan] – Prayer (Strength)
The fact that a bartizan was made means you haven’t just realized the Gospel, but you’ve realized what prayer is and what strength is.

[Journey] – Evangelism (Path)
Now, a journey means that while it’s true you’ve realized evangelism, the path is seen. How important this is.

[Guidepost] – Word (Memorial)
A guidepost means that while it’s true many Words are fulfilled, it is the true success of establishing a memorial. If you look closely at history, there are people who established historical memorials. Almost all of these people are the people of the covenant. For example, among several of the greatest events in the world, I think this is the greatest: The liberation of Black people. It is the greatest thing. Liberating Black people. Lincoln did it. That is why Lincoln is respected. Lincoln prayed from the time he was young. The covenant he grasped then was Galatians 3:28. He completely established a memorial. In Christ, whether a Gentile or anyone, all are one. It is important for Remnants to possess this.

▣ Main

Then, I will introduce several Bible verses.

1. Genesis 37:1-11
This is what Joseph possessed when he was young. It is continuously completed as you live. It happens in ordinary times, and it happens even more during times of crisis. When he was young, Joseph grasped the entire covenant. It surely changes the whole world. That is why the Remnant is important, and infant/preschool education is important. It is a matter of what you believe first. This is important. Whether strength is imprinted first or scars are imprinted first is extremely important. If scars are imprinted first, you live with those scars for a lifetime. People with large scars cannot even lead a normal life. If it becomes a scar, you collapse. In this way, the work you are doing is important.

3. 1 Samuel 3:1-10
It already becomes imprinted when you are young. The covenant is imprinted, and while praying, you already receive God’s answer. When young. “While Samuel was alive, there was no war.” The Philistines, who sparked so many wars, could not enter while Samuel was alive. “Those who saw Samuel believed in God.” What a blessing. You might know what the work you are doing is, but it is more than just knowing.

4. Psalm 78:70-72
There are many shepherds. But while other shepherds were sleeping and playing, at that time, he did praise, prayer, and the Word. If you look closely, he was a shepherd, but it said God raised him as a king. It is different.

5. 2 Kings 2:9-11
Elisha, who possessed the covenant from the time he was young, held onto this covenant even when parting with Elijah. The prophet Isaiah prophesied. “You will become captives in Babylon.” He prophesied. Because of that, Isaiah died. “When you go to Babylon, it will happen like this. The remnant—the stump—will arise.” He prophesied it all. Someone appeared who understood that. They probably heard it when they were young, right?

6. Daniel 1:8-9
It’s Daniel. He heard it when he was young and became a captive. Other people looked at Isaiah’s words as something ridiculous. They even killed Isaiah, calling him pro-Babylon. However, Daniel grasped that as the covenant. One person, Daniel, completely changed Babylon. He changed King Nebuchadnezzar. He interpreted all of Belshazzar’s dreams. Seeing Daniel, King Darius was also moved. What did Darius say? He said, “The Most High, living God.” Daniel even influenced King Cyrus. He issued a decree for Israel to return and build the temple. You don’t know what will happen. Saying “you don’t know” isn’t a word of unbelief; it’s because it’s so great that you cannot imagine it.

7. Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
Why did Paul preach the Gospel so urgently? If he didn’t, in a little while, Israel would disappear. So he went to the synagogues. When Israel disappeared and people were scattered, these people were swept into it. These are the people to whom God gave strength. They did world evangelization. No one can block it. It transcends imagination. To what extent is the Gospel we possess? It cannot be expressed in words. John Calvin said so. There is a book called Institutes of the Christian Religion. I haven’t read it all. It’s too thick. Calvin wrote it. When he was 27. It’s amazing. At age 27, he completed the Institutes. At the very end, it is written: “I believe it, but I cannot express it in words.” You believe it, but you cannot express it in words. It’s like that.

▣ Conclusion _ Future

Find the future. Therefore, all of life right now is a camp. Everything is evidence. A difficulty has come? A matter of evidence has come. You are living a very hard life right now? You are creating a matter of evidence. People thought Israel was facing difficulty. “Why are you telling us to cross the Red Sea?” “Why are you telling us to cross the Jordan?” They crossed because of this, and because of that, the hearts of the enemies melted. Because of the suffering you endure, through that evidence, Satan is bound. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Thank You for giving us the covenant. Thank You for giving us the grace to raise Remnants. May God receive infinite glory. In the future, may the work of breaking all darkness take place. May the darkness that blocks the Gospel within the church be completely bound. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Author of Scripture: The Holy Spirit

2 Peter 1:21. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.


God has sovereignly prepared everything for an accurate “Word movement” to take place exactly where we are. This is not just a religious activity; it is the only way to save our nations and the world from the spiritual darkness that covers the earth. But why is the Word so central to this salvation?

The answer lies in the nature of the Word itself. The Word is not merely a collection of historical texts; the Word is God Himself (John 1:1-2). It possesses the absolute power to create; the entire universe was formed at God’s command so that the visible world was made out of things that were not previously visible (Hebrews 11:3).

Furthermore, the Word has the supernatural power to heal and restore. It is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating to the deepest parts of our being—dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow—and judging the very thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

God’s desire is for us to see visions and dream dreams through the lens of His Word (Acts 2:17). He wants us to experience the same transformative power that the Early Church experienced as they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship (Acts 2:42-47). This lifestyle must continue until our Lord Jesus comes again (1 John 2:28).

There is a specific blessing promised to the one who reads the words of this prophecy and to those who hear and take it to heart (Revelation 1:3). Preparing for the future is impossible without the Word movement God desires, for it is only through His living breath that we can navigate the uncertainties of tomorrow. When we anchor our lives in this divine flow, the Word becomes a lamp that illuminates the hidden path of our mission and a shield against the deception of the age.

Nothing in the written Word of God originated from human will. Instead, people were led by the Holy Spirit and spoke words directly from God (2 Peter 1:21). Therefore, when we hold onto the Word as our spiritual lifeline, its tremendous power is displayed in our physical lives. The Word provides us with spiritual discernment that the world cannot grasp. A person without the Spirit considers the things of God as foolishness because they are only discerned through the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14). Without this spiritual vision, it is impossible to overcome a world influenced by unseen spiritual forces.

How we receive the Word determines our entire future. This is why Jesus challenged Nicodemus, a renowned scholar of Scripture, with a fundamental truth: no one can see or enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again of water and the Spirit (John 3:3, 3:5). Just as flesh gives birth to flesh, only the Spirit gives birth to spirit. An unborn baby cannot crave milk; likewise, only those born into God’s family can truly crave and understand the “sincere milk” of the Word.

This is the reason we must focus on a “life movement” within our Word movement. Without the spark of spiritual life, a Word movement becomes a mere academic Bible study, producing more people like Nicodemus—knowledgeable but spiritually powerless. Whenever you open your Bible, you must rely on the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the true Author of Scripture, who promised to teach you and remind you of everything Jesus said (John 14:26).

Start with the Word that comes to you through the pulpit of your local church. Meditate on the Word given for today and ask the Holy Spirit for the wisdom to discover God’s specific will for your life. Try to connect this Word to every meeting, every event, and every person through prayer (Ephesians 6:18). As you do, you will witness God’s sovereign purpose and His desire being accomplished through you.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the Word that has come to me today. Open my spiritual eyes to see Your desire and purpose for my life. I choose to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Author of Scripture, in all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Unprecedented and Never-Repeated Answer

Prayer Journal: February 19, 2026
11. May 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Joshua 10:12-14


It is an unprecedented answer. You must challenge this through prayer. As I mentioned in the first service, the reason most people do not receive prayer answers is not a lack of faith. It is that they fail to see correctly. The Amorite allied forces invaded. One could say they met a tremendous crisis. Joshua did not see it that way. In today’s scripture, a tremendous secret of prayer emerges. A specific prayer that Joshua offered before God is recorded. You must remember this.

▣ Introduction

1. Slave (Genesis 41:38)
Whenever a crisis arrived, God prepared this answer. We must briefly look at the stream of the Bible. Joseph, who possessed “Only Gospel,” was sold to Egypt as a slave. In Jacob’s household, Joseph was the only one who realized World Evangelization. If you are not careful, you can see things incorrectly. You might think, “How could my brothers sell me?” If you see it that way, you fall into despair. Joseph did not see it that way. He asked, “With what plan is Jehovah leading me like this?” God gave Joseph an unprecedented answer. He made him the Governor. Could such a thing happen? This is the choice you must always make in your walk of faith. Because many people think incorrectly, they do not receive answers. Is Egypt a superpower? If you think so, you will never receive an answer. Egypt was a nation in the greatest crisis. The Israelites exited Egypt in the Exodus. People keep writing books and making movies about how “we defeated Egypt.” That is why they don’t receive answers. We must see correctly.

2. Exodus 2:1-10
As you know, the children of Israel were all about to die. At this time, God gave an unprecedented answer to Moses and Jochebed.

3. Jethro
At this time, a person who helped Moses appeared: Jethro. God gave an unprecedented answer.

4. Joshua
5. Caleb
Today, God gave an unprecedented answer to Joshua and Caleb. If you look at the scene, what happened? The allied forces came, and the Israelites fought. As they fought, the sun began to set. What happens when the sun sets? For the Israelites, this was a new path. For the Amorite allies, it was their home neighborhood. Then they would lose the war, wouldn’t they? At that moment, an unprecedented history occurred: the sun and moon stopped. You must look into the covenant regarding this.

▣ Main: Unprecedented

1. The Start
What is the start of an unprecedented answer? Because you are qualified to receive this answer, you must know what the start is. You might pass over this easily because it is a familiar passage. It is a familiar passage, but you must receive the answer.

[Absolute Impossibility]: Joshua challenged absolute impossibility.
[Accurate Covenant]: With the accurate covenant. When a crisis comes, we almost always judge incorrectly. The start of this unprecedented answer was Joshua grasping an unprecedented covenant. In verse 6, it says the kings of the Amorites came to attack us.

1) Verse 6 – Prayer: “The Amorite allies have come to attack us” was Joshua’s prayer. However, in verse 8, it says: Jehovah spoke this way. Do not be afraid. I have delivered them all into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.
2) Verse 8: This covenant was given in advance. No matter what extreme situation you meet, if you grasp the accurate covenant, you can overcome absolute impossibility. Many people look at the situation and get scared. They look at reality and are terrified. I tell my secretaries often: Do not fight. No matter what, do not fight. Did we win? That’s not winning. Did we lose? That’s not losing. God’s work comes after that. Because people see incidents and work incorrectly, they cannot see God’s Word correctly. The Amorite allies invaded, but Joshua did not see it as a crisis. This is important. He held the accurate covenant regarding God. Do not be afraid. Didn’t I tell you before? Didn’t I say I already gave you this land? We are shaken by even small things like this. You must receive an unprecedented answer. World Evangelization is possible only when you receive an unprecedented answer. He said not one person would be able to withstand you.
3) Verse 11: We must look at one more verse. It is verse 11. While the war was going on, suddenly hailstones like rocks fell from the sky. What happens if hailstones the size of rocks fall? The Bible records that more died from the hailstones than those killed by the sword. It is the sign that God is with them. God sent a sign to Joshua, who was completely unshaken. He blocked the enemy by sending hail. This is the start of receiving an unprecedented answer.

2. The Process
Second, the process of receiving an unprecedented answer emerges. This also cannot be ignored. A process appears, and what happened?

[Night]: Night fell. What happens when the sun sets? It looks like it is absolutely impossible.
[Absolute Plan]: No. At this time, following the first service message, what did Joshua’s army grasp? They grasped God’s absolute plan. Always do it that way. Wait and see if an answer comes or not. God’s absolute plan is to enter the land of Canaan. The dark night cannot block the path. The dark night cannot block God’s plan. Here, something important emerges. What comes out? In front of verse 12, it says, “He said to Jehovah.” This is important.

Verse 12: Grasping the covenant firmly, night has come, and there is no human solution. “He said to Jehovah.” To put it simply, he offered an urgent prayer. When you meet too much difficulty, you cannot help others. If I have caught a truly terminal disease, who can help me? However, you must experience one thing. While I truly pray with everything devoted to God, I must experience what God’s work is. Night has come. Night cannot block Jehovah’s plan. What does this mean?

1) Wilderness: During that time in the wilderness, Joshua saw.
2) Moses: He saw God being with Moses.
3) Canaan: More importantly, he received the promise of entering Canaan. Night is not the problem. It is grasping God’s absolute plan.

3. The Answer
At this point, the third thing emerged. There is a process for an unprecedented answer, but what kind of answer actually comes? An amazing thing occurs. What kind of answer did God give at this time?

[Absolute Answer]: He gave an absolute answer, not just a regular one. What did he say?
Sun: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

1) Prayer of Authority: This is a different story. The sun and moon stopped, but what did it say? It says, “He said to Jehovah: Sun, Moon…” It is verse 12. It is a prayer of authority. You don’t really believe it and you think of it as a casual thing, but you have this authority. The Moody Institute of Science actually provided evidence. Records of the sun stopping have surfaced. An amazing thing occurs. In verse 13, until the time of taking vengeance on the enemy, the sun stayed in the middle of the sky all day. What does this mean? It means a prayer that does not give up began.

2) Prayer That Does Not Give Up: If it is God’s will, you must not give up. There is no need to be stubborn if it isn’t God’s will, but if it is, you must not give up. All day long. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being.

3) The Prayer of That Day: Point number 3 is important. God has “the prayer of that day” toward Joshua and toward you. Have you never experienced it? You must. It is not a simple prayer. There is the prayer of authority, the prayer that does not give up, and the prayer of that day. If you just look at the book of Joshua, it is nothing more than Bible study. If you grasp this covenant, true answers arrive. When the greatest difficulty comes, God gives the greatest answer. You must not miss this. A problem that people cannot help with has come to you, but God gives you the best thing. You must understand this.

▣ Conclusion

[Experience]
Therefore, it is today’s conclusion. You must receive an answer at least once. What is it?

1. Mount Horeb
Many important histories occur at Mount Horeb. Moses, who committed a murder and fled, had nowhere to go, right? He fled to Midian and spent 40 years. When he turned 80, the experience happened here. “Take the Israelites out. Go to offer a blood sacrifice. I will be with you with my mighty hand. Tell my people. Tell the elders. Tell Pharaoh the King.” An amazing thing occurred at the most difficult time. Also, this isn’t just a one-time thing. Mount Horeb appears several times. What else? It is the place where Elijah fled when he suffered the greatest difficulty. He was fleeing, unable to reach Mount Horeb, and collapsed under a broom bush. At that time, God sent an angel to give him water and bread, making him gain a mysterious strength. It was for 40 days and nights. He made him walk, but where did he make him go? He made him go to Mount Horeb. At that time, He gave a truly new answer. You must experience this.

2. Babylon
This answer also occurred in Babylon. We are talking about “unprecedented.” To the people of God who were about to die in Babylon, He gave an unprecedented answer then. Do you have many of these experiences? I do. God prepared an unprecedented answer.

3. Mount Olivet
It was the most difficult time. Israel legally framed the Early Church as a heresy. They even framed them legally with lies. The Early Church never did those things, but people made up all sorts of stories. They even said that they killed people and drank their blood because of the communion service. They saw them gathered to pray and reported them for doing strange things. It is recorded in many places. And they said they would legally arrest anyone who gathered at the Mark’s Upper Room church. It was the greatest crisis. This is the Word given at that time. He gave unprecedented words at Mount Olivet. Grasping this Word, World Evangelization occurred. This week, today, you are to enjoy this answer. The most important thing is the Sunday worship. If you only succeed in the Fri-Sat-Sun age, you will be able to change all answers. During today’s worship, though it is a short time, pray: “God, give me an unprecedented answer. If there are people of God suffering, give them unprecedented grace.” Pray as it comes to mind. If there are those with illnesses, give them unprecedented grace and make them witnesses. God hears our prayers. You must have this experience. If there is no prayer answer, that cannot be. He is bound to fill you with better things. This week, today, may you collapse Jericho and receive an unprecedented answer in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Let us grasp the important covenant today. Let us grasp the unprecedented, absolute covenant. Night approaches, but let us grasp the absolute goal. By praying to Jehovah, let there be an unprecedented answer where we enjoy the absolute answer. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

What Does Scripture Say?

2 Timothy 3:14-17. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


What makes Scripture truly unique? Scripture was not authored by the will of man, and its origin is not from this world. It is far more than a history book, a collection of moral guidelines, or a manual for achieving worldly success. It is certainly not merely an ancient religious text for Christianity. All Scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It reveals the fundamental cause of every problem the human race has faced—spiritual, mental, and physical—and explains the origin of all disasters and calamities that have befallen the world.

Scripture identifies the appearance of Satan as the root cause of humanity’s descent: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray” (Revelation 12:9). Originally, we were uniquely created in the image of God to enjoy and worship Him (Genesis 1:27). We were uniquely blessed with authority to subdue the earth and rule over creation (Genesis 1:28). However, Adam and Eve were deceived by the devil, who planted a seed of distrust by asking, “Did God really say?” (Genesis 3:1).

The devil twisted God’s covenant, exploiting Eve’s imprecise understanding of God’s command (Genesis 2:16-17) to tell the ultimate lie: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). His aim was to seize the entire human race through the bait of self-centeredness. Consequently, the devil became the father of everyone born after Adam (John 8:44). Humanity fell into a state of sin (Romans 3:23) and came under the power of the devil (Acts 10:38). In this state, people follow their own wisdom, philosophies, and traditions (Colossians 2:8), relying on their own “righteousness,” which Scripture describes as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). This path leads inevitably to suffering, death, and judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

But Scripture reveals God’s immediate plan for salvation. God promised that the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). To settle our deadly and impossible problems, God gave up His own Son: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Scripture proves that Jesus is the Christ—the True King, the True Priest, and the True Prophet. By rising from the dead, He destroyed the devil’s work (1 John 3:8). By shedding His own blood, He obtained eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12). By declaring, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6), He opened the only path from hell to heaven.

With the finished work of Christ, Scripture invites everyone into the family of God, giving those who believe the legal right to become His children (John 1:12). Salvation comes through a heart that believes and a mouth that professes Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10). For those who confirm that Jesus is the Christ, there is absolute freedom from the power of sin and death (Romans 8:2). The Holy Spirit begins to dwell in, guide, and empower the believer (1 Corinthians 3:16; Acts 1:8), providing a permanent solution to problems of the past, present, and future.

God did not give us Scripture merely for academic study; He wants us to have the assurance of life: “I write these things to you who believe… so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Paul emphasized to Timothy the importance of a Word movement that is alive and powerful (2 Timothy 3:14-17). We must delve into Scripture for the wisdom that leads to salvation and never stop proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for Scripture, Your everlasting Word that revives and empowers me. May the power of Your Word open my eyes to the mystery of Christ and Your kingdom. Use my life to set people free from the kingdom of darkness and bring Your healing to this dying world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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

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

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


Scripture Reading
Acts 1:12-14

Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day’s walk from the city. 13 When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. 14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Forum and Prayer

City Tightly Shut

Prayer Journal: February 18, 2026
11. May 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Joshua 6:1-7


Thank you. What kind of answer must we absolutely receive today?

1. Mark 11:24: If you grasp the accurate covenant, believe, and pray, the answer has already come; the fulfillment begins after that.
Jesus spoke this way: Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer, and it will be yours. That is Mark 11:24. At first, I couldn’t understand that well. If you grasp the accurate covenant today, believe, and pray, the answer has already come. The fulfillment begins after that. Therefore, it is a very important word. Today, while you are worshipping, it is enough to grasp the accurate covenant, pray, and imprint it with faith. That will achieve an immense work. If you have grabbed the accurate covenant, then have assurance, believe, and pray.

2. Worship and prayer are seeing God’s absolute plan and absolute possibility within absolute impossibility.
Now, as we live, we come to meet things that are very difficult and absolutely impossible. What should be done then? This is important. I will take one example.

1) Jochebed – Absolute impossibility (the command to kill Hebrew male children), absolute plan (the posterity exiting Egypt and going to the original land), absolute possibility (sending the son into the palace).
Jochebed, a person of prayer, saw that she met an absolutely impossible thing. Pharaoh the King commanded by law to kill all Hebrew Israelite male children. You cannot block it, can you? There is no one to overcome Pharaoh the King. It is absolutely impossible. At this time, she looked at what God’s absolute plan was. The male children of the nation of Israel all dying and disappearing is not God’s absolute plan. At that time, she realized: God’s absolute plan is for our posterity to go out of Egypt and go to the original land. At that time, absolute possibility was seen. There is only one place where my son can live: the palace. The answer was found. Right? Now, when this happens, our spiritual eyes to see God’s absolute plan are opened. The day to see that is today, the day of worship. Seeing that is prayer.

2) The City of Jericho – Absolute impossibility (City of Jericho), absolute plan (collapsing the Jericho of darkness), absolute possibility (the city was tightly shut, the hearts of the people of Jericho melted and they lost their spirit).
Absolute impossibility comes before us, but God’s absolute plan is hidden. If so, absolute possibility is seen. Got it? Does it work if you force it? That is not it. It can’t be done? That is unbelief. It works if you do it? That is humanism. How does God work? At this time, spiritual eyes are opened. What opens? Jericho was already shut and no one went in or out. Reports were already received through Rahab. Their hearts had melted. They had even lost their spirit. They couldn’t even move in the City of Jericho. The city was tightly shut. The answer was found. These eyes are opened.
Therefore, the saying that we give thanks in the midst of difficulty came out because of this. An absolutely impossible thing occurred before me, but I found God’s absolute plan. Therefore, the absolute possibility that God can do is seen. Opening these eyes is prayer and worship. The answer is already found.

3. Today – Collapse the City of Jericho of darkness, disaster, and Satan. Therefore, for you today, the important answer to this prayer is to collapse the City of Jericho of darkness, disaster, and Satan.

▣ Introduction_ Why?
Now, since there isn’t much time, you must know three “Whys” in the introduction. How to collapse the City of Jericho—we will see that in the main body, but in the introduction, it’s “Why.” There are things you must know first.

1. Is Egypt a successful nation? Is the disaster at the time of the Exodus truly a disaster? It collapsed the disaster of darkness in Egypt. Is the Exodus a success? You must come out from darkness.
Is Egypt a successful nation? You must find this answer first. Is Egypt a successful nation, I mean. If you don’t, every answer will come out wrong. When they came out, Egypt suffered a great disaster, but was that truly a disaster? Now, you must analyze quickly. As I see it, it collapsed the disaster of darkness in Egypt.
The nation of Israel performed miracles and came out in the Exodus. Is that truly a success? Is it true success, I mean. Unless you come out of darkness, there is no use in even the Exodus. You must confirm that first.

2. The reason for keeping them tied in the wilderness for 40 years – Confirm where I have arrived while enjoying 5 messages.
What is the second thing to confirm? It is why they were tied in the wilderness for as long as 40 years. This is important. Why were they tied in the wilderness for 40 years, I mean. Five immense messages came out here. What are they?

1) Genesis – The reason problems came to mankind and the answer.
Genesis was recovered. Why did problems come to mankind? It is written there. What is the answer? It is written there. Then, you must confirm where you have arrived while enjoying that answer.
2) Exodus – Exodus from darkness, curses, and disasters.
Also, coming out of Egypt is not the issue. You must come out from darkness, curses, and many disasters. That is Exodus. All of that was recorded during the 40 years.
3) Leviticus – Every answer of mine must be found in worship.
Also, what is it? Why exactly is it centered on the tabernacle? Why did Aaron’s staff sprout? That is Leviticus. You must know that, right? You realized what worship is. You must make a decision: every answer of mine must be found in worship. Therefore, pastors and servants of the Lord must absolutely not give their own sermons. They must do what the Word fulfills. Within that fulfillment of the Word, it is not Aaron. It is not the staff. A sprout came out from there—that is the meaning. That is Leviticus. You must know it, right?
4) Numbers – They entered after spying out the 12 tribes and 12 regions.
Why 12 tribes? Why do they enter after spying out the 12 regions? That is Numbers. It’s very important, right?
5) Deuteronomy – Imprint, root, and nature the things to prepare in order to enter the land of Canaan.
To enter the land of Canaan, what must be prepared? You have to go out into the world—what must be prepared? You must imprint, root, and nature that. That is Deuteronomy. Do not miss it.

3. The reason for telling them to collapse Jericho – The power of God is needed on the path going forward.
And for the third, you must ask the reason again. Why are they told to collapse Jericho? Because you must know the reason. All knowledge is needed on the path going forward, but the power of God is needed. Because the absolutely impossible City of Jericho cannot be collapsed, the power of God is needed. Go with that strength.

Today, in the introduction, I didn’t speak of my own story, but pointed out how we keep grasping things other than God’s Word.

▣ Main_ The Method of Collapsing Jericho
Then, how are they told to collapse this Jericho? You must grasp these three things today.

1. Grasp the absolute evidence – Follow the Ark of the Covenant (Verse 4).
In verse 4, it says follow the Ark of the Covenant. You should not understand this simply as just following the Ark. Grasp God’s absolute evidence and follow it. Grasp God’s absolute evidence.

1) Grasp the evidence of the Exodus and the evidence of the wilderness and circle Jericho.
What do I mean? The evidence of when they did the Exodus. Certainly grasp the evidence that occurred while passing through the wilderness until now. Grasp that and circle Jericho. That is the command.
Therefore, you must know the reason, right, as I spoke in the introduction. Why did they go as slaves? there is a reason, isn’t there? Egypt is not a successful nation. It is a nation of disasters that causes wars. They must go there. They must deliver the Gospel there. Right? Egypt is absolutely not a successful nation. That is why they became slaves. It is the reason they went as slaves, the reason they were enslaved. This is the reason God kept them tied in the wilderness for 40 years.
2) Because of the Israelites, Jericho was tightly shut and no one went in or out (Verse 1).
What does it say in verse 1? Because of the Israelites, their gates were tightly shut and no one went in or out. Follow the Ark and circle. Grasp certain evidence and circle. Because the Word is fulfilled.
3) I have delivered Jericho, its king, and its fighting men into your hands (Verse 2).
What does it say in verse 2? It says it has already been given to you. It has already been given into your hands. Therefore, go according to the covenant. Do not fear Jericho. What do I mean? I have delivered Jericho, its king, and its fighting men into your hands. Such certain evidence was given.

> ※ Despairing events – Grasp God’s absolute plan and covenant. The power of creation appears.
> When you meet a despairing event, grasp God’s absolute plan and covenant. Even the correct words of people are fulfilled, but in God’s Word, the power of creation appears.

2. Go toward the absolute goal – I have given you this city (Verse 16).
Second, what did He say? It is verse 16. What must you grasp and go with? It is not that He will give this city, but He has given it. What is it? Entering Canaan is God’s absolute goal. It is not a hollow “I believe.” It is grasping God’s absolute evidence and going toward God’s absolute goal. Grasp that. There is no need even to hesitate. It is okay even if you die while going. Why is that?

1) The 7 tribes that made the land of Canaan an idolatrous nation – Recover that land and heal spiritual problems.
The 7 tribes came into the land of Canaan and made it an idolatrous nation that completely ruins the world. Go to them. Go quickly, recover the land, and heal the spiritual problems. It is the absolute goal.
It is the method of collapsing Jericho. Circle while carrying the Ark—absolute evidence. I have already given it to you. Follow the Ark first—absolute goal.
2) The 31 kings who are the leaders of idolatry – Go to change them.
Inside there are also as many as 31 kings. Who are these people? They are the leaders of idolatry. Go quickly to change them.
3) Enter the land of Canaan, recover it, and do world evangelization.
It’s more than that. Enter the land of Canaan, recover the land, and do world evangelization for the entire world.

> ※ The three courts, the Fri-Sat-Sun age, and the meditation age are God’s absolute goal.
> Therefore, even if the entire nation of Israel opposes, entering Canaan is God’s absolute goal. Grasp that firmly, I mean. And circle Jericho. No matter what anyone says, the three courts, the Fri-Sat-Sun age, and the meditation age are God’s absolute goal.

3. Absolute answer – Do not say anything, just circle, and on the last day, shout all together (Verse 10).
Third. How? If you look at verses 2-10, just circle. An important word came out in verse 10. When circling, do not say anything. At the same time, on the last day, everyone shout together. Those two words came out in verse 10.
For us, people who do not receive answers speak when they shouldn’t and don’t shout when they are told to. That is the problem. Circle every day, once a day. How would it be? What would the people inside Jericho think? It’s a disaster. Israel, which overcame Egypt and came out, is circling now. The nation that parted the Red Sea and parted the Jordan is circling. Circle without saying anything. Why? Because while circling, it would be troublesome if some “smart” fellow opened his mouth. “Hey, does it work just because we circle?” I mean, the “smart” ones usually have a lot to say. “Does it work just because we circle? Hey, if they throw stones from above, our heads will break and we’ll die. Does it make sense to circle without saying anything?” If this happens, it’s a disaster. Do not open your mouth. On the last day, shout all together. Absolute answer.
Jericho is collapsed with these three things: absolute evidence, absolute goal, and absolute answer. It is collapsed with these.

1) Seven priests (Verse 6) – Servants of the Lord, become the 24-hour leaders of prayer.
So what it says is, let the seven priests go in front. It said so in verse 6. This is an important word. Servants of the Lord, become the 24-hour leaders of prayer.
2) The armed men go ahead of the Ark (Verse 7) – Church officers, circle in front of the people along with those carrying the Ark.
Also, in verse 7, let the armed men go ahead of the Ark. What does it mean? It is the mission and blessing of the church officers. Servants of the Lord, carry the Ark and circle in front of the people. Church officers, circle in front of the people along with those carrying the Ark.
3) On the last day when the trumpet sounds, shout all together. That city will collapse (Verse 5).
On the last day, when the seven loud trumpet sounds are heard, then shout all together. In verse 5, that city will collapse. An amazing thing occurred. Well, there is much to explain scientifically too, but this is not science class—it collapsed.

Today, you must always remember several things while grasping the covenant.
Absolute impossibility is here and there, in small places and large places. However, what is God’s absolute plan? Then, absolute possibility is seen. At this time, spiritual eyes are opened. Ah, it’s over. This is how God is doing it. Jericho has already been collapsed. The land of Canaan has already been given.
Then, why did they live as slaves in Egypt? Why did He keep them tied in the wilderness for 40 years? He could have just brought them—for what reason does He tell them to cross the Red Sea, cross the Jordan, and collapse Jericho? You come to know these reasons. This itself comes as a great answer.
One day, on the path you go, Jericho will collapse. Actual spiritual Jerichos must collapse. That is what collapsed. Therefore, follow the Ark. You have the absolute evidence, don’t you? Follow that. There is nothing else. No matter what anyone says, because going to the land of Canaan is God’s goal, God collapses the things blocking the front. Do not say anything and just circle. Wait for the absolute answer, I mean.

> ※ Today is the day to collapse the City of Jericho. It is the day to collapse the forces of darkness around me through prayer and the Word.
> While you are worshipping today, you must find this before you go. Why? Is it possible for you to take this and memorize everything? It is impossible. There is no need to, either. You have to worship again next Sunday—why should you memorize everything? There is no need. Well, I wouldn’t know if it came out on your exam. It’s not that, either. You must obtain an important answer today. Today. What kind of day is today? It is the day to collapse the City of Jericho. You just need to grasp that. It’s a city that is already finished. It must be collapsed. Today is the day to quietly collapse the forces of darkness around me through prayer and the Word. There was no fighting. They just circled. While they only prayed, this city of darkness collapsed, I mean.

▣ Conclusion_ People who must survive
I will introduce a few people who must surely survive.

1. Joshua and Caleb – The people who saw the land of Egypt and entered the land of Canaan.
First, who is it? It is Joshua and Caleb. There are only two people who saw the land of Egypt and entered the land of Canaan. No, there are many other people? Those are the people born in between. From the beginning, the ones who saw the land of Egypt and entered the land of Canaan are Joshua and Caleb. God established them firmly and saved them.
2. The posterity born in the wilderness – Recovered everything in the wilderness and imprinted it on them.
Next, who did He save? It is the posterity born in the wilderness. He saved them and took them in. They do not know how much their ancestors suffered in Egypt. Since they were born in the wilderness. So, although 40 years looks long, God recovered everything and imprinted it on the posterity. He took them in.
3. Rahab the prostitute and her family – Her descendant was David (the power of the Gospel).
There is one more. It is the very important verse 17. Spare Rahab the prostitute and her family. It is recorded intentionally. He took them in. Rahab the prostitute enters the land of Canaan together. It looks like nothing, but she gets married there. Children were born through the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generations, and the figure David came out from there. It is God’s plan that no one knows. It is the power of the Gospel that can never be understood. One cannot understand it. You must receive this blessing.

Today’s work is finished with today. Collapse this Jericho of darkness within prayer today. That’s the end. You just need to say Amen. Next week is another new grace. Today is grasping the covenant while the Word given by God is flowing. You just need to make a decision now. Last Sunday’s is last Sunday’s—today, make this decision and recover health, recover strength, and recover spiritual strength. Today, during worship and during prayer, also bind the darkness. Completely collapse Jericho. You must receive that answer before you go.

> ※ I grasped the covenant regarding the thing I thought was most impossible, and answers keep coming.
> I’ve said it several times before, but it’s enough if an answer comes once, right? There is an answer that keeps coming. What that is, is that I grasped the covenant regarding the thing I thought was most impossible from when I was young, and it keeps coming. It’s mysterious, isn’t it? I experienced that God is alive and working. In the past, evangelism was so difficult for me. My personality is the same even now. Go somewhere and evangelize? Strike up a conversation with others? I can’t do it. Perhaps if someone looked at me and said just try being a minister, I could do it even by force. Right? What would it be like if I tried to sell sweet potatoes on the street? I could absolutely never do it. I couldn’t do it because I’d be embarrassed. How could someone like me do evangelism? But one day, I realized that evangelism has nothing to do with me. That’s a big deal. Honestly, one day, my life should have been within prayer, but I didn’t know what prayer was. They say the Word is alive and working, but I didn’t experience that. So I had no reason to worship and no reason to grasp the Word—that was my life. One day, I realized it like that. But I made a small decision. It wasn’t even a big decision. I mean, shouldn’t I be able to pray? Right. I mean, enjoying the fulfillment of the living Word—isn’t that worship? Naturally, shouldn’t I be a witness? That is evangelism. I only realized this. But God is a God who answers. From then on, answers keep coming.
> I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes a day to obtain that strength. I will pray.

Prayer. God, let today be an important day. Let it be a day when Jericho collapses. Let the city of darkness collapse. Let the city of darkness that we cannot handle collapse before the Ark of the Covenant. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Word Movement That Saves the World

Hebrews 4:12. For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.


How did the ordinary people of the Early Church, lacking political power or social status, manage to change the course of history? They did it through a relentless Word movement. This was not a series of religious programs, but a lifestyle of spreading spiritual life:

Day after day, in the temple courts and from house to house, they never stopped teaching and proclaiming the good news that Jesus is the Christ” (Acts 5:42).

We see the most powerful example of this in Paul’s ministry at Ephesus. He didn’t just hold a weekly service; he engaged in a daily movement. After speaking boldly in the synagogue for three months about the kingdom of God and facing opposition, he moved to the lecture hall of Tyrannus. There, he held daily discussions for two years, with the staggering result that “all the Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord” (Acts 19:8-10).

This principle holds true for every region today. The only way to save a community is to send someone who possesses spiritual life and is committed to proclaiming the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. Millions are wandering in a desperate pursuit of happiness, only to find themselves suffering spiritually, mentally, and physically because they are separated from the source of life. Paul recognized this reality, which is why he strategically entered synagogues and public spaces, looking for those whom God had appointed to ignite this movement.

The message was always the same: explaining and proving from the Scriptures that the Messiah had to suffer and rise from the dead, and that “this Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ” (Acts 17:3). He was not preaching a dry theory or a new philosophy; he was offering life itself.

This is the Word movement God desires today. However, we are living in a time where the global church is shrinking at an alarming rate because the gospel has been distorted or watered down. When the focus shifts away from Christ, the world suffers. Many churches have become institutionalized—social clubs or business centers—leaving them vulnerable to being devoured by the devil (1 Peter 5:8). Paul’s resolution was different: he resolved to know nothing while he was with the Corinthians except “Jesus Christ and him crucified” (1 Corinthians 2:2).

Even now, the resurrected Christ sends the Holy Spirit to be with His people. When you realize this blessing, every day becomes a celebration of the resurrection. You experience the work of the Triune God not just on Sunday, but in every moment of daily worship. Our Lord did not leave us with a set of ideologies; He came to be with us personally.

You are called to initiate this Word movement right where you are. It is built on five pillars:

Jesus Life: The only way to the Father.
Jesus Power: The only authority over Satan.
Jesus Healing: The only restoration for the soul and body.
Jesus Name: The only true answer to prayer.
Jesus Witness: The only true purpose for living.

Confirm for yourself today that the Word of God is alive and active (Hebrews 4:12). It is powerful enough to transform the most broken lives and restore entire regions. Do not settle for a religious routine; join the movement that brings the light of Christ to the darkness.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the Word of life. Let Your Word heal my soul, spirit, and body, even my thoughts and attitudes. Fill me with Your Spirit so that I may continue to proclaim the gospel to the world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
