The State of Man

2026.03.22 District Message Week 12
「The State of Man」(Ge 4:10-15)

We can easily get water. There are many countries where people cannot get water. If we give them a single bottle of the bottled water we carry, they are so incredibly grateful. Because we have so much of that water, we don’t feel grateful at all. However, if you think, “This water is precious and good,” and enjoy it while drinking, your health will be restored. Because the blessings of our salvation are so immense, we might not realize them. Enjoying those blessings is prayer and worship.

「The Appearance of Humanity」
Therefore, today we must look at the appearance of humanity as many are living now and be thankful to God. People don’t even know what they should be thankful for.

▣ Introduction

1. People Who Left God
First, looking at the Bible, the people who left God are recorded most prominently.
1) Genesis 3:4-5: This is the Genesis 3 incident. It is the incident in the Garden of Eden. In other words, is it possible to “leave” God? It means they left the promise. Can you go anywhere by running away? They left the Word of God. That is what leaving God is. They left God’s covenant. If so, it is the same as leaving everything.
2) Genesis 6:4-5: Then, they held onto things thinking “this is mine,” but that was the Nephilim.
3) Genesis 11:1-8: And they thought, “this is on my side,” but those things became enemies and crumbled. This is what happens.

2. Spiritual Problems — Disasters
So, although the shapes differ, spiritual problems come to all these people. For some, it is visible; for others, it is invisible. It has no choice but to come. Because they left God, terrifying disasters begin to strike without them even realizing it. For some it is spiritual, for some mental, and for some it hits the body. A person can be sick, of course. But there are many people suffering because so much spiritual difficulty has come.

3. Persistence — Fortune-telling, Shamanic Rituals (Matt 12:43-45)
The problem is that it isn’t resolved and it persists. Because it persists, some people begin to struggle desperately. Then they fall into even deeper difficulty. Because of this, some people go to get their fortunes told because it’s so hard. Others do shamanic rituals (gut). The more they do, the harder it gets. In Matthew 12:43-45, Jesus says it gets harder as it goes. Seven-fold more demons enter.

▣ Main Body — Opportunity
At this time, God does not just leave us be. Why? Even though we have left God now, God has given us an opportunity. This is very important. What kind of opportunity did He give?

1. The Cause
What is the cause of all problems?
1) Romans 3:10, 23 — Suffering, Curse: Romans 3:10 says, “There is no one righteous, not even one.” What does that mean? Verse 23 says it is because they left God. Because everyone left God, they cannot meet God. They have fallen into Original Sin. That is why they fell into great suffering in Genesis 3:1-2. Not only that, but the land and the field receive curses.
2) Satan — Motive (Background): What is the motive behind this? It’s not “because” of Satan, but rather they were tempted by Satan and crumbled. Now, we aren’t making excuses about Satan. They were tempted by Satan. Because they left God, they were destined for destruction, and they were tempted by Satan.
Many people still do not believe God’s Word, yet they listen to the words of those possessed by demons and follow them. It’s not a small amount of money either. They spend enormous amounts of money on shamanic rituals, and thus enter further into destruction. But the reason we must know this and pray is that they can’t help it. It’s in the lesson, right? John 8:44, “You belong to your father, the devil.” But that father is a liar and a deceiver, and they cannot escape. If you don’t tell them, they cannot escape and have no choice but to worship idols. They shouldn’t do shamanic rituals, and they know it won’t work, but they can’t stop. Why? Because they belong here (Main Body 1). While the cause is here (Rom 3:10, 23), the motive they get caught in is here (Satan). That is why it’s scary. Eventually, spiritual problems come. A little later, mental problems come. It’s a natural result, but then it comes to the body. No matter what they do, it isn’t resolved. Why? Because the background is different. Without knowing this, it goes to the posterity again. If a spiritual problem comes and you become a shaman or do things like that, you must absolutely overcome it. It goes to the next generation.

2. Persistence — The Next Generation
So then what kind of problem arises? This has continued until now, persistently. How? To the next generation. If you know this, you will realize how great it is to be saved and how great it is to pray today.
Cain and Abel: Cain and Abel appear. Cain was the first to kill Abel. He could not live because of anxiety.

3. Opportunity
So God gave Cain an opportunity. Giving him a mark, He gave him an opportunity to avoid death.

4. Solving Life’s Problems
What does this mean? It means God gives the answer that solves our life’s problems.
1) Genesis 3:15: The first phrase that appeared was: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” That word “Christ” promised by God will break all the darkness of Satan.
2) 1 John 3:8: “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”
3) John 1:12: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.”
Perhaps I am a child of God but difficulty has come? That is a different story. People who are not children of God perish because of it. For a child of God, it is worlds apart. They live because of it. When God sent the flood during Noah’s time, the people who left God died because of it. Noah lived because of the flood. This is the difference. You don’t know how big a difference it is.

▣ Introduction (Transition) — Child of God (Throne) vs. Child of Satan (Hell) (John 8:44)
Why? Because it is one of the two. There are only two kinds of people. You might feel very offended, but this is how it is. Child of God. Child of Satan. You might feel very offended, but Jesus said it. He looked at the Pharisees, who were living their religious lives well, and called them children of Satan. They had no choice but to face difficulty.

There are things in life we don’t necessarily need to know. Right? But there are things we must not fail to know. We must absolutely realize this. Because we are children of God, the Throne is the background. Right? It is worlds apart. Because you are a child of God—or because you are not—Hell is the background. That is the difference. You don’t go to heaven because you are outstanding; a child of God just goes. A person may have done only good deeds their whole life, but if they are a child of the devil, they go to hell. You don’t go to heaven because you have no sin; you go because the problem of sin has been resolved. You don’t go to hell because you have many sins; you go because it wasn’t resolved. When kids play in the village, they go to their own house when the sun sets. We live our whole lives and finally, what? We go to our home. We go to our heavenly home. There is no doubt.

Among you, things like “having luck” or “being unlucky”—that doesn’t exist for a child of God. “Because of someone”—there’s no such thing. That is for a child of the devil. For a child of the devil, even picking the wrong day is a big deal. Right? We don’t have that. It is all finished. “Christ has finished it all.” Those are not ordinary words. “But why did this difficulty come?” No. Absolutely not. Is anyone’s body aching? It is a time schedule to experience God’s great spiritual grace. You must make it so. Right? When the 7 Remnants faced suffering, what was it? It was a time schedule to find great concentration toward God. When people who are not children of God face a big problem, they are seized by Satan and commit suicide. And they even kill people. A child of God cannot do that. Someone guided by the Holy Spirit cannot do that. Because people are guided by Satan, they kill and keep on killing. “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.”

5. Witness
So we evangelize and do missions. That is why we pray and deliver the Word. As witnesses. I hope you hold onto the covenant and pray today. You are a child of God, so you must throw away being deceived. You must change it. If there is a difficulty you are facing, it is likely not a difficulty. Pray. God’s good plan is inside. Someone might be unable to move and just lying in a hospital for a long time. Many people say, “Look at that, how much suffering must that be. I mean, you should just live vigorously until 99 and then die.” Many people say that. That is not a blessing. Having a long time of being sick means that person has a great deal to pray about. Right? There is much for God to leave and prepare for the posterity. If God wanted to take someone, He could take them without them being sick. Right? He could take someone without them getting cancer, but the reason they got cancer is because they are people with an important reason to pray.

People don’t really know. A long time passed before Joseph’s brothers realized, “Ah, so that’s what it was.” God answers accurately, and one day Joseph stood exactly in the place of world evangelization. Most people don’t believe in God. They must have been shocked. I don’t mean they were shocked because Joseph succeeded. He was within the fulfillment of God’s Word.

Today, change all the words of your position and environment. “It is okay even if my body aches. I need God’s grace. It is okay even if difficulty comes. I need God’s Word.” you must make that decision. The people gathered for the district service must tell them. They are being deceived. “The Remnants are wandering”—they are doing well. Without wandering, they don’t know who they are. Right? It looks like they are wandering, but they aren’t.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be an important day for you. Let us pray.

Prayer. May today be a day of gaining strength all day long, may thoughts be changed, may it be a time to change the environment, a time to change the spiritual atmosphere, and a time for the Word to be fulfilled. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Secret To Finding Those Who Remain

2026.03.21 Scattered Disciples
The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237-5000 (12)
– Model of 7∙7∙7 58 –
「The Secret To Finding Those Who Remain」(Ro 16:25-27)

So, you must enjoy this blessing, and there is an important secret for the Remaining One (Remnant). For the Remaining One. This is the conclusion. Please look at the Bible closely.

1. Matthew 16:13-20
It never disappears eternally. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” He didn’t say, “You are smart.” He said, “You are blessed.” “You are an absolute rock that will never be shaken. On this rock, I will personally build my church.” That is how it is written in the original text. “The gates of Hades and the forces of darkness will not overcome you. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Even though Peter fled, it did not change. Even when he denied Jesus, it did not change. He even fled back to his original place, but it did not change. It is eternal. You must recover what was missed—this complete Gospel.

2. Romans 1:16-17
Paul recovered this. It keeps being taken away. This is the secret of the Remaining One. Paul set aside an immense position and stepped forward as an evangelist. Paul abandoned a powerful background and stepped forward as an evangelist. Many people did not know Paul and mocked him. So Paul said this: “I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.'” He changed the world.

3. Romans 16:25-27
The work Paul left behind did not change one bit, and God left this blessing behind. He left this blessing (Rom 16:25-27). There are three characteristics here. He said God had hidden it. There is a characteristic of being hidden. He gives this to special people. Not just anyone receives that characteristic. You don’t receive this just because you are saved; rather, God gives what He has hidden to you who will evangelize. There is a third characteristic here. He said it is eternal. From before long ages (eternity) until eternity. Now, how amazing is that?

Therefore, if you say, “I have never succeeded until now,” it is okay. Start the Absolute Bartizan, 1st Camp. Start the Absolute Journey, 2nd Camp. Start the Absolute Guidepost, 3rd Camp. It is even better if a person who originally had no ability takes hold of this covenant. Also, if people say, “I am too old now and can’t do it,” it is even better if such people realize this. It is absolute.

If I were to grow old and retire, what would I do? I would go on a pilgrimage of evangelism. I would go all around doing a new kind of pilgrimage evangelism. What is the standard? I would leave only after establishing an Absolute Bartizan. There would be no set dates. I would do it until the Absolute Bartizan stands. What is an Absolute Bartizan? It is the Remaining One whom God has prepared, the one who raises that banner—starting with me. Once that is prepared, that is the Absolute Bartizan. Therefore, that is also the point of the Absolute Journey. Because of that, there is no need to worry.

So, are you sick? If you think to yourself, “I am sick,” you won’t get better. Doctors don’t know spiritual things, but if you think, “Ah, I am sick,” even medicine won’t work well. Your breathing becomes shallow. Your breath is already short, but you become deficient in oxygen. You must think, “It’s okay.” “I will find many benefits because of this illness.” Right? “I will find many blessings.” How difficult must it be for parents with autistic children? I told them clearly: “It is the best condition to experience what the power of 24-hour concentration is.”

I believe this RU is a very important assembly for you to gain new strength and start anew. To make a new start, you must have new thoughts. Not my thoughts, but God’s thoughts. Not my plans, but God’s great plans. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You for giving us grace. We thank You for Your blessing. Let this be the start of enjoying what belongs to God. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Gospel That Disappeared in the Age of Kings, Priests, Prophets

2026.03.21 Core
The Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (12)
「The Gospel That Disappeared in the Age of Kings, Priests, Prophets」(Is 7:14)

History is our witness. Kings, priests, and prophets appeared, yet they failed to recover the Gospel. Rather, it was during those times that the Gospel disappeared.

▣ Introduction: [Keep in Mind]
If that is the case, our ministers, missionaries, multi-ethnic leaders, and especially our church officers must keep this in mind. You must keep a few things in mind.

1. 7·7·7 Enjoyment — Imprint, Root, Nature
You must enjoy the 7 Bartizans, Journeys, and Guideposts given by God through prayer. As you enjoy these, the long-standing imprints within you will change. That which is rooted in us has no power before the Word of God; it changes. Thus, we cannot change our own nature, but through the Word of God’s power, it is used differently.

2. 3 Concentrations
And you must do the “3 Concentrations” every day. Do not set a specific time; you must do the 3 Concentrations as soon as you open your eyes in the morning. If you set a time, it won’t be practiced. Just start immediately upon waking. Since your body may have been worn down overnight, continue to pray while doing breathing exercises that bring your body to life. Then, during the day, turn everything into prayer. Because there are many difficult moments, if you don’t turn them into prayer, you suffer two kinds of losses: you make wrong judgments, and you suffer spiritually. However, if you look while praying, your eyes change. Rather, great benefit arises for you. What about the night? It is a time to fill yourself. It is a time to find the answer. It is a time to see the fulfillment of the Word. It is a time to see the future.

[Bartizan]: At this time, the Bartizan is created. Do not worry; Jesus said only to pray. When you only pray, the Bartizan is built.
(Watchman): Only when the Bartizan is made can I become a watchman. That is why He established everyone as watchmen. Once this Bartizan is made, answers begin to trickle in.
Platform: I become a platform. My prayer becomes a platform.
Watchtower: I become a watchtower that radiates light to help others.
Antenna: I become an antenna that allows that person to communicate with God.

Do not worry about anything; just do this comfortably. Are you worried about the future? Leave it be. Do you feel like you’re going to fail? Then fail. It isn’t actually failing. “What if I do this and it doesn’t work out?” If it doesn’t work, it doesn’t work. It isn’t actually “not working.” It’s a misunderstanding. Just enjoy it.

3. Mount Horeb – Mount Olivet
From this point on, look at the path from Mount Horeb to Mount Olivet whenever there is an important matter. Mountains appear frequently. What is this? It is the time of concentration when there is a special task.

Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:1-8 [Journey]: We call this the Journey.
The previous point (Introduction 2) is called the Bartizan. This is how you start comfortably.

4. 24, 25, 00 — [Guidepost]
Then, one day, you will see the fourth point. This is real prayer. You will see 24. “24” doesn’t mean that because a restaurant is open 24 hours, customers are constantly there. It means it is open for 24 hours. It refers to being prepared so that a customer can come at any time. If it’s 24 hours, it means they are ready whether you go at 3 AM, 4 AM, or at night. If you go and they aren’t ready? That isn’t 24.
We have the power and answers given by God ready. While this (3 Concentrations) prayer must be recovered daily, this 24 is a different dimension. It is not “go and get strength”; it is “go with strength.” It is not “go and find the answer”; it is “go with the answer.” Go with Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. You must tell the Remnants this.

Then, there is something else to wait for. You wait for 25. Jesus said, “Do not leave Jerusalem”—that is 24. “Wait for what was promised”—that is the Throne 25. “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth”—that is the Masterpiece and Eternity. Being saved and the work of salvation are eternal. Right? That is where 25 comes from. We call this the Guidepost.
Apply the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost from various angles.

5. Discernment – Future
And you must remember: there must be a distinction between what is not the Gospel and the enjoyment of the Gospel. You must know how to distinguish them. This is extremely important. This will determine your future. If you do this well when choosing the Gospel over non-Gospel things, the future will open up even while you are standing still.

▣ Main Body
Now, concerning what happened in Babylon, God gave this Gospel to Babylon as well. Because it won’t work without the blessing of Immanuel (Isa 7:14). So He gave us that name. A virgin conceived and bore a son, and He gave that name to us.
Then, different eyes are opened.

1. Flow of the World
2. Flow of Babylon (Since we are talking about the Babylonian era)
3. God’s Time Schedule (Because He worked at that time)

1. Flow of the World [7 Disasters]
What is the flow of the world? The 7 Disasters are a path of catastrophe for unbelievers, but for us, they are the path of World Evangelization. The 7 ages appeared: Egypt, Philistia, Assyria, Aram, Babylon, Rome, and the Wanderers. You must have the eyes to see this.
[Path of World Evangelization]: All 7 disasters are paths for world evangelization. This is certain. To the unsaved, it is the path of destruction; to those with the Gospel, it is the path of world evangelization.

2. Flow of Babylon [Recovery]
You must look at Babylon. it is the path of Recovery. It seems like they went as captives to Babylon, but that is not it.
1. Darkness swarms.
2. The Temple is destroyed.
3. Many Talents became captives. Because Daniel knew this, he was not shaken. What a relief. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego held high positions. Because they knew this, they laid down their lives.

3. God’s Time Schedule
In the Bible, works happen whenever this is recovered. That is the time schedule.
1. Genesis 3:15: The person who held this. In fact, Abraham’s family held it, but Joseph was the one who fulfilled it.
2. Exodus 3:18: When it disappeared again, that time schedule appeared through Moses.
3. Isaiah 7:14: Because they couldn’t enjoy it and went to Babylon, that was the time schedule given. The time schedule of Immanuel.

The time schedule of liberation (Exodus 3:18). Truly, this (Gen 3:15) is the secret of recovering one’s status—the time schedule of changing authority in Genesis 3:15.
The servants of the Lord must be within this blessing. Martin Luther and John Calvin were within this. It is the recovery of the Gospel. In every age, the people who changed the age of disasters were all within this blessing.
You should be so thankful that you can say, “I need no other answer.” Then, God will attach such talents to your hands. You don’t have to worry about anything.

▣ Conclusion
You must enjoy this blessing, and there is an important secret for the Remnant (The Remaining One). It is the Remnant. This is the conclusion.

The Gospel Remnant in the Age of Philistia

2026.03.21 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Life of the Evangelist and the Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (12)
– Model of the 3 Courtyards 58 –
「The Gospel Remnant in the Age of Philistia」(1Sa 1:9-11)

▣ Introduction: The Absolute Sovereign
First, you must understand that God is the Absolute Sovereign with absolute sovereignty. What do I mean?

1. Life (Fundamental): He is the Absolute Sovereign who gives life. Humanity has lost hold of this again.
2. Restoration (Gospel): He performs the work of restoration through His absolute sovereignty. This is called the Gospel. Originally it was life, but since it was taken away, He gave the Gospel to restore it.
3. Proclamation (Missions): God’s absolute sovereignty is to have this proclaimed. This is the mission, called Missions.
(Fundamental): Life was originally the fundamental thing God gave. However, since it was taken away after leaving God and being tempted by Satan, God immediately restored it.

▣ Main Body: What?
What exactly am I talking about? Let’s look at the figures of the Philistine era.

1. 1 Samuel 1:9-11 — God’s Absolute Plan:
This is Hannah’s prayer before Samuel was born. The word Nazarite means that although God is the Absolute Sovereign, because He is the Absolute Sovereign, He has an Absolute Plan. Hannah saw this.
2. 1 Samuel 3:1-19 — God’s Absolute Covenant:
Samuel came to enjoy this. It follows naturally: God’s Absolute Covenant. He heard God’s voice. From that point on, not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground. He held onto God’s Absolute Covenant. Hannah had no choice but to receive answers to her prayers because she saw the Absolute Plan—something she hadn’t seen before.
3. 1 Samuel 7:1-15 — God’s Absolute Journey:
As Samuel grew, he launched the Mizpah Movement. This is called God’s Absolute Journey. It surely comes out.
4. 1 Samuel 16:1-13 — God’s Absolute Goal:
Afterward, David was born and received God’s amazing grace. What was it? He was commanded to build the Temple. He spoke of God’s important Ark of the Covenant. David could not fail; he possessed God’s Absolute Goal.
5. 1 Samuel 17:1-47 — God’s Absolute Guidepost:
Finally, David defeated Goliath. This was God’s Absolute Guidepost to announce God to the entire world. Our Remnants walk this path. Because you are children of God who possesses absolute sovereignty, you take these three things (Introduction) as your fundamental and you go.

▣ Conclusion: God’s Time Schedule
If a Remnant prays just a little bit, this conclusion emerges: you will be within God’s Time Schedule. You will be within God’s time—within that most important time of the Lord. This was true for the 7 Remnants.

Therefore, for Remnants, Sunday worship should not be a time of waiting, but a time of great enjoyment. If the ability to pray becomes imprinted in you even a little, you will study while praying. If this happens, your academic work will conquer the world. You aren’t just going out into the world; you are going out with the Power of Prayer.

First of all, your eyes will change. If you look at people while praying and enjoying this, every person is a door, every problem is a blessing, and every incident is a blessing. Right? God is ultimately the One who does this (Introduction). He wants to give life, restore it, and spread it to the whole world to save others. Remnants must enter this time schedule. It looks like something that happened in the Philistine era, but it is the same today.

How do you enter this? As I just mentioned:
[3 Concentrations]: At first, do “3 Concentrations” for just a short moment at a time.
[24, 25, 00]: Then your rhythm will come to life, and one day it will become like this. Once it does, you will see.

Our church officers, who are a bit older, must enter this because you absolutely need to gain strength right now: 3 Concentrations and 24, 25, Eternity. Our pastors are also aging, so you must absolutely enjoy this blessing.

The answer already came out during the prayer earlier, but the morning is the time to conquer the universe through prayer. Your daytime may look like small meetings or minor tasks, but it is the time to conquer the world. Your time alone, especially at night, is the time to conquer the future.

Remnants must remember: there are times when you are lonely. That is the time to immerse yourself in God. It is the time to create a masterpiece. Time alone is not “empty time”; it is “filling time.” I have liked being alone since I was young. It wasn’t because I disliked people or was a loner, but because there were so many things I had to find while alone. There were so many books I had to read. Even until I got married, as a young man, I would always take a book and go to the farthest reaches of Busan. I’d find a rural area, have a meal, and come back. I wanted to do it every day, but I couldn’t, so I did it on Saturdays. I prepared messages and read important books. It was such a great time. After I got married, I couldn’t do it because I’d be asked where I was going, and they’d want to come along!

When I go abroad for conferences, I put the “Do Not Disturb” sign on my hotel door from the first day to the last. That way, I can spread out my materials, pray, and look at things comfortably.

A Remnant’s time alone is not a lonely time; it is a time of being with God. Your brief wandering is not wandering; it is finding the path God has prepared. The times you failed or faced problems mean you had an important experience. Remnants across the world must recover the strength of true peace that God gives. Whatever situation you are in, it is okay. You just have to go from the very bottom toward the top. Not “decent”—from the absolute bottom toward the summit.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant the Remnants true courage to believe in Your absolute sovereignty. Grant them true strength to walk within the Absolute Time Schedule. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.

Restore the Gospel Lost in the Age of Judges

2026.03.21 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Bartizan of God’s Kingdom That Fulfills the Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (12)
– Bartizan of the 3-day Weekend Age 58 –
「Restore the Gospel Lost in the Age of Judges」(1Sa 7:9-10)

This is a message for the church officers and industrialists in the US, Korea, and throughout the world. Church officers, it is okay even if you have no strength right now. If you continue to pray within the 7 Bartizans, Journeys, and Guideposts, a different kind of strength will arise. You only need to know what the Three Camps are. In particular, you must know the standard for the Absolute Bartizan. If you know the standard for the Absolute Journey, there are immense secrets within it. If you align yourself with the standard of the Absolute Guidepost, you will surely triumph. The clear fact is that you are living by what you have learned until now, and you will continue to live by what you have learned. In a sense, that is natural. In a sense, isn’t that correct? However, world evangelization cannot be done with that.

7·7·7
The issue is that while we could simply eat and then die, we have the mission to perform world evangelization. That is why Christ gave us these Bartizans, Journeys, and Guideposts. The 7 Bartizans are created within me. The 7 Journeys are the answers that emerge on the path I walk. The 7 Guideposts are the blessings I must leave behind. Therefore, it is not about doing well or poorly, or whether it works or doesn’t work; you must simply be within this covenant.

3 Camps
Once you realize the Three Camps, the diseases you have will one day disappear. In some aspects, it is even better if they remain. You must be able to realize this. You have many problems, conflicts, and trials, but they will become blessings. That is contained within the Three Camps.

「The Age of Judges – Recovery of the Gospel」 (1 Sam 7:9-10)
Because people did not know this, they missed everything. You must look at the people who recovered the Gospel that had disappeared during the Age of Judges. Again, the Gospel is disappearing. Church officers and industrialists only need to know this one thing: even if you do no work at all in the church, if you stand on the path of recovering the Gospel, you will receive the greatest blessing. Even if you were to give your life and your entire fortune, if you are on a path where the Gospel is not recovered, you will fail.

▣ Introduction
1. Wrong Start (X)
The Jews misunderstood this and made a wrong start. The Triune God is everything. His Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost are everything. But because this is not working, they start with other things.

2. Philistine Attack
At that time, the Philistines attacked and entered.

3. Road vs. [Enemy]
All the surrounding nations should have become a road, but because they did not know this (the recovery of the Gospel), they became enemies. The existence of nations like Assyria, Aram, Egypt, Arabia, and Philistia means they are roads. But because people didn’t know that, they became enemies.

[Church Officers and Industrialists]
During these times, God called church officers and industrialists. There are many, but let us look only at that era.

[Jethro, Rahab, Hannah, Jesse]
He called Jethro. God called Rahab. Moving forward, He called a person named Hannah. He called a person named Jesse. Is number an issue? The “road” is the issue; the number is not the issue. Even if a great army swarms onto the wrong road, it is still the wrong road. Even if only one person walks the correct, right road, it is still the right road.

[400 Years, 14 Judges]
Look especially at this. When people like Rahab and Jethro arose, it was an event that happened after about 400 years. How blind our eyes are—for 400 years they lived having lost the Gospel and became slaves. When did Hannah and Jesse appear? They appeared after passing through 14 generations of judges and losing [the Gospel] again. Many churches and many people take this lightly. However, when the disaster of darkness descends, it is serious.

▣ Main Body – Banner, Light
You must hold the banner and radiate the light. You only need to do this.

1. You Must Know the Reason
First, you must know the reason why Israel could not defeat the Philistines. Right?

1) Large Cities: Philistia was a nation with large cities such as Ashdod, Gaza, Ashkelon, Gath, and Ekron. What is this? If you open your eyes and look, this is a complete field [for evangelism]. Because they couldn’t see this and thought of these people as enemies, they became enemies.

2) Palestine: These people originally lived on an island in the Aegean Sea and then migrated to Palestine.

3) Weapons: At that time, they had iron-processing capabilities and created weapons to torment Israel.
You must know the reason here. If you do not preach the Gospel to the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes, spiritual darkness and plagues will sweep the whole world and seize your posterity.

Church officers and industrialists sometimes say, “It’s because I couldn’t do much work for the church.” That is not it. If you stand in the line of recovering the Gospel, you have done everything. There is a person who did no [physical] work and yet received the greatest blessing. Who is it? Theophilus. Why is that? He received the greatest blessing. Why? Because he stood on the path of recovering the Gospel. He stood on the path of recovering the light that saves the darkness. You only realize the blessing of being a church officer when you understand this. A church officer and industrialist who pushes the pastor so he can perform the Gospel movement—so he can do evangelism and missions to his heart’s content—is the person who has received the greatest blessing.

2. You Must Know the Fundamental Reason
Second, you must know the fundamental reason. The Philistines are not the problem.

1) Nazarite: A Nazarite is needed. Right?

2) Leader + David: You shouldn’t make excuses about the Philistines. As in 1 Samuel 16:1-13, the leader Samuel and David, who received guidance, are needed.

3) Goliath – The Figure: A figure to defeat Goliath is needed. David entered here. David is amazing, isn’t he? He said, “I will fight Goliath,” while everyone else was afraid. David knew the fundamental reason. When his brothers rebuked him, he said, “Is there not a reason?” You must know the reason why you do RU, and the reason why you became a church officer.

3. The Method of Recovery
If you know the reason, you must know the method of recovery. That was the Mizpah Movement.

1) Repentance: Return to Jehovah. Repent. This is natural.

2) Idols: Throw away all idols. Of course, because they were wrong.

3) Lamb Sacrifice: Despite this, the Philistines attacked again. They attacked right in the middle of the Mizpah Movement! They came in thinking they would wipe out the Israelites who seemed to be plotting something strange while gathered at Mizpah.
What did Samuel do then? 1 Samuel 7:9-10. He offered a burnt sacrifice of a lamb. What is your worship? We now worship in the name of Jesus Christ, the sacrifice of the Lamb. God sent thunder and smashed the Philistines. It is okay even if you have no strength. God performs signs and wonders to fulfill His work.

The Philistines are not the problem. You must know the reason. It is because people do not know missions and evangelism. You must know the even more important fundamental reason. Our church officers must keep in mind the fact that God has recovered the Gospel through a few church officers.

▣ Conclusion – One Person
An important conclusion emerges. Satan only needs one thing to be missing. He is waiting for there to be not even one person in your church who has found the answer through the Gospel. If there is even just one person, he cannot attack. Right? Even one person is enough. What is Satan’s earnest desire? He only needs churches that haven’t found the answer through the Gospel. He is waiting for pastors who haven’t found the answer through the Gospel to come out in droves. Do you understand what I mean? However, if even one person who has found the answer through the Gospel appears, the darkness is broken.

[David]
Therefore, after finishing the Mizpah Movement, offering the blood sacrifice, and recovering God’s covenant, Samuel does one thing. He raises David. That was the last important task.

Industrialists and church officers, you already know whether you are precious or not. However, in every age, you only need to open one eye. If the Gospel disappears, Satan can move you however he wants. If this Gospel disappears, this darkness covers everything. The Gospel is not just “a” light; only the Gospel is the light. That is when disasters crawl in. If you possess the Gospel, whatever problem arises, it becomes a blessing. Even if darkness covers and disasters come because of unbelievers, it becomes a blessing. Although He sent the flood because of the wicked, Noah lived because of the flood. This week, all of you church officers and industrialists must truly take hold of this covenant in your hearts.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the infinite and eternal love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be upon all the church officers and industrialists throughout the country, and especially upon the church officers and industrialists in America, from now until forevermore. Amen.

Hymn
I Know Not Why God’s Wondrous Grace
^{D. W. Whittle}

I know not why God’s wondrous grace
To me is daily shown,
Nor why, with mercy, Christ in love
Redeemed me for his own.

But “I know whom I have believed,
And am persuaded that he is able
To keep that which I’ve committed
Unto him against that day.”

I know not how this saving faith
To me he did impart,
Nor how believing in his word
Wrought peace within my heart. Refrain

I know not how the Spirit moves,
Convincing us of sin,
Revealing Jesus through the Word,
Creating faith in him. Refrain

I know not when my Lord may come,
At night or noon-day fair,
Nor if I’ll walk the vale with him,
Or meet him in the air. Refrain

Scripture Reading
Genesis 4:10-15

The Lord said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother’s blood cries out to me from the ground. ¹¹Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand. ¹²When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

¹³Cain said to the Lord, “My punishment is more than I can bear. ¹⁴Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

¹⁵But the Lord said to him, “Not so; anyone who kills Cain will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the Lord put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

Message
The State of Man

We must see ourselves with the characteristics of man. Even today, God is reaching out to man in sin, being separated from God.

1. Everyone suffers from a common cause of problems.
…1) Ro 3:10,23 — the root cause = sin
…Ge 2:17 Sin is not believing God’s Word and disobeying the covenant they have with God.
…Ge 3:1-6 They left God.
…Ge 3:16-20 They live with suffering.

…2) Ge 3:1 They fell into the temptation of Satan.
…Jn 8:44 They became children of the devil.
…Mk 5:1-10 Satan destroys homes.
…Ac 16:16-20 He destroys individuals.
…Mt 12:25-29 He destroys nations and families.
…2Co 4:4-5 He blinds the minds of those who do not believe.
…Rev 2:9-10 He works in organizations, deceiving through trials and persecution.

2. The problems of mankind continue to this day.
…1) Ge 4:4-5 The problem of Genesis 3 also came to Cain and Abel.
…2) State of man separated from God:
…(1) Lives with continuous resentment (Ge 4:10).
…(2) Lives under curses (Ge 4:11).
…(3) Lives and works in vain (Ge 4:12).
…(4) Lives with regret (Ge 4:13).
…(5) Lives with anxiety (Ge 4:14).

3. God gave man an opportunity (Ge 4:15).
He gave us a way to overcome the power of death and receive salvation. Today is the day to receive salvation.

4. He gave us a solution to life’s problems.
…1) Ge 3:15 He promised that the offspring of the woman would destroy the head of the serpent.
…2) 1Jn 3:8 Christ came to destroy the work of the devil.
…3) Jn 1:12 When we believe and accept His name, we receive the authority to become children of God.

5. What is the secret of the doors of evangelism and church growth?
…1) Col 4:2-3 Prayer movement: Children of God must stay alert in prayer. We must pray for evangelists and pray that the doors of evangelism open and that Christ is proclaimed.
…2) Eph 6:10-20 The “acceptance (life) movement” is the best spiritual warfare.

There are so many people who have never heard the gospel. We must open a Word movement in 1,000 places so that everyone can hear the gospel. God has prepared disciples who will carry out re-challenge, re-generation, and re-creation in the field. The only way to block darkness is through the gospel and the evangelism movement.

Forum and Prayer

Your Life on Prayer

Jeremiah 33:1-3. While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time: ²“This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: ³‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’

Prayer is a spiritual science. Just as science reveals facts, accurate answers come from God when you pray. It operates according to spiritual principles, much like scientific laws. People suffer due to a lack of spiritual understanding (Hosea 4:6), and believers struggle in life without grasping the mystery of prayer. When this mystery is understood and practiced, something powerful begins to take place.

When you pray, the Holy Spirit moves powerfully in and through you. As Jesus said, “If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!” (Luke 11:13). The Holy Spirit’s work cannot be stopped (Acts 2:1-4). He will empower you from above to overcome the forces of Satan and the world (Acts 1:8). The Spirit will also guide you on the right path (Acts 6:6-10). At the same time, in the unseen spiritual realm, God mobilizes His heavenly forces in response to your prayer.

When you pray, God dispatches His angels to receive every word you think and speak: “Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand” (Revelation 8:3-4). The angels offer up your prayer to the God of Creation! This is not merely symbolic—it is consistently demonstrated throughout Scripture.

The work of angels is evident throughout Scripture. Three angels delivered the message that God would give Abraham a son (Genesis 18:2-15). God sent an angel to assist Elijah in despair (1 Kings 19:5-7). God sent an army with horses and chariots of fire to protect the city of Dothan, where Elijah was staying, from the vast army of Aram (2 Kings 6:13-17). When God heard Hezekiah’s prayer in crisis, He sent an angel to strike the 185,000-strong Assyrian army (2 Kings 19:35). To Daniel in the lion’s den, God sent angels for rescue (Daniel 6:22).

To prepare for the coming of His Son, God sent the angel Gabriel to Zechariah to bring the good news of the birth of John the Baptist (Mark 1:11-20). After Jesus overcame the temptation of the devil, angels came and attended him (Matthew 4:11). The ministry of the angels intensified with the gospel movement carried out by the early Christians (Acts 5:19, 8:26, 10:3, 12:7, 12:23, 27:23). These accounts reveal a clear and unchanging truth.

The prayer of the saints spoken in the name of Jesus is powerful. In the name of Jesus, the kingdom of Satan falls, and the power of evil spirits crumbles. Prayer can change anything. So stop worrying about your life, but start praying! Yet the reason many fail to pray lies in the spiritual atmosphere they are living in.

The world is saturated with a “Nephilim culture” that deceptively whispers, “You are the center.” While modern society offers counseling and temporary comfort, these are merely bandages that fail to heal the spirit. Therefore, the answer is not external, but internal and spiritual. The true solution is the absolute bartizan of the Triune God within you. By dedicating even just 5 minutes each morning to prayer, you align yourself with Him to conquer the universe. This will imprint the Word into your brain and spirit, fundamentally changing what has been imprinted in you, deeply rooted, and become your nature. It will prepare you for the 300% journey: God’s perfect plan for you, your field of work, and your future.

Once this spiritual foundation is established, it begins to transform how you see everything throughout the day. Once your foundation is set, your perspective must shift through the eyes of faith. Just as David was seen as a mere child by man but a king by God, you must view your current struggles differently. If your life is filled with problems, you are not being punished; you are being prepared as a large vessel. You are like a tree that needs the wind and rain of the wilderness to grow strong, rather than a fragile plant in a greenhouse. Your absolute journey continues throughout the day by transforming every sight and action into prayer.

This flow of prayer does not end with the day—it continues into the night. Then your night will not be just for rest; it is a special time for nighttime prayer, where God carries out His greatest works. During this time, you seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit, fully submerged and led by God’s power. You will go to the lowest places to serve, finding value where others see none, while keeping your eyes on the highest goal. You will stop copying the world but choose “nobody” and “nothing.” You will realize that it is in the space of the absolutely impossible that God’s answers are most clearly revealed. God will bring fundamental healing.

Ultimately, this is the promise God gives to those who pray. Your heavenly Father made the earth, formed it, and established it. When you pray, He will answer you and tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come (Jeremiah 33:3). Seek first His kingdom and ask His absolute plans for your life through prayer!

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see what happens when I pray. Help me to pray in the Spirit in all circumstances. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
^{Samuel Stennett}

Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior’s brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o’erflow,
His lips with grace o’erflow.

No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav’nly train,
Who fill the heav’nly train.

He saw me plunged in deep distress,
And flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.

To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave,
And saves me from the grave.

Take the Name of Jesus with You
^{Lydia Baxter}

Take the name of Jesus with you,
Child of sorrow and of woe;
It will joy and comfort give you;
Take it then where’er you go.

Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav’n.
Precious name, oh how sweet!
Hope of Earth and joy of Heav’n.

Take the name of Jesus ever,
As a shield from ev’ry snare;
If temptations round you gather,
Breathe that holy name in prayer. Refrain

Oh! the precious name of Jesus,
How it thrills our souls with joy,
When his loving arms receive us,
And his songs our tongues employ. Refrain

At the name of Jesus bowing,
Falling prostrate at his feet,
King of kings in Heav’n we’ll crown him,
When our journey is complete. Refrain

Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 3:1-19
^{Carmetta Williams}

The boy Samuel ministered before the Lord under Eli. In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions.

²One night Eli, whose eyes were becoming so weak that he could barely see, was lying down in his usual place. ³The lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was. ⁴Then the Lord called Samuel.

Samuel answered, “Here I am.” ⁵And he ran to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

But Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.” So he went and lay down.

⁶Again the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

“My son,” Eli said, “I did not call; go back and lie down.”

⁷Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord: The word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him.

⁸A third time the Lord called, “Samuel!” And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, “Here I am; you called me.”

Then Eli realized that the Lord was calling the boy. ⁹So Eli told Samuel, “Go and lie down, and if he calls you, say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’” So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

¹⁰The Lord came and stood there, calling as at the other times, “Samuel! Samuel!”

Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.”

¹¹And the Lord said to Samuel: “See, I am about to do something in Israel that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it tingle. ¹²At that time I will carry out against Eli everything I spoke against his family—from beginning to end. ¹³For I told him that I would judge his family forever because of the sin he knew about; his sons blasphemed God, and he failed to restrain them. ¹⁴Therefore I swore to the house of Eli, ‘The guilt of Eli’s house will never be atoned for by sacrifice or offering.’”

¹⁵Samuel lay down until morning and then opened the doors of the house of the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli the vision, ¹⁶but Eli called him and said, “Samuel, my son.”

Samuel answered, “Here I am.”

¹⁷“What was it he said to you?” Eli asked. “Do not hide it from me. May God deal with you, be it ever so severely, if you hide from me anything he told you.” ¹⁸So Samuel told him everything, hiding nothing from him. Then Eli said, “He is the Lord; let him do what is good in his eyes.”

¹⁹The Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.

Message
Loneliness is the Time Schedule To Change Yourself
^{Pastor Ryu Kwang Su}

▣ Introduction: The blessing of the saved
The God who protects you and the covenant do not change. When difficulties become so severe that you cannot see the Word and cannot even pray, what should you do?

1. The Holy Spirit knows our weaknesses and intercedes for us with groaning. He makes all things work together for good (Romans 8:26, 28).
…1) Parents’ hardships – discovering prayer topics
…2) Church difficulties – discovering life direction
…3) Difficulties in the world – discovering your mission
2. If you are able to pray, 300% will come forth.
3. If you wait, you will see what belongs to God.

※ Witness (one who knows the gospel) – one who has seen, one who knows, one who possesses.
1. Heavenly mandate – make prayer 300%, work 300%, evangelism and missions 300%.
2. Calling – I and my household are the mission home, RUTC, and the regional church.
3. Mission – there is a hidden secret that no one knows that saves the age.

▣ Main: The answers you will receive
1. My suffering – a time to see the problems of this age and God’s plan
…1) Israel’s suffering during the era of the fourteen judges – Hannah realized that a Nazarite with faith and strength was needed to stop this.
…2) Hannah sent her God-given son, Samuel, to the temple according to her vow
…3) “Eli lay down in his place, and the boy Samuel lay down near the ark of the covenant”

2. My loneliness – a time to hear God’s voice regarding real-life problems
…1) The problem of the church and our home now – there is no one lying beside the ark of the covenant.
…2) Consequence – The Word was completely cut off, their eyes grew dim, and visions could not be seen
…3) Loneliness – It is the time to lie beside the ark of the covenant and hear God’s voice. When the Word of God that will be fulfilled comes, no one can stop it
…4) Samuel who became a spiritual summit – “Not one of his words fell to the ground.”

3. Incidents – God opened the eyes to see the future, and it changes into 300% where you realize the hidden secret no one knows
…1) The invasion of the Philistines – Eli’s two sons died in battle, and Eli also died. The ark of the covenant, which Samuel had been guarding, was taken.
…2) Samuel, who had lain beside the ark and whose words did not fall to the ground, must have prayed.
…3) Wherever the ark of the covenant went, disasters began to fall. So they sent the ark back.

▣ Conclusion: The answers Samuel received
1. The suffering experienced by the seven Remnants and people of faith
…1) Joseph – he realized that the dream he had was the covenantal dream the Lord desired for that age.
…2) Moses – he realized that his suffering was the suffering of Israel.
…3) David – he knew that the humiliation caused by Goliath was related to the future of the nation and the people and to the glory of the Lord, so he went out in the name of the Lord.
…4) Spafford – though he lost his family, he discovered God’s grace within it and changed the world.
…5) Pastor Joo Ki-chul – he realized it was connected to the church and truth, and to the destruction of Japan and Korea, so he held onto the covenant.

2. The loneliness you experience – an important timetable of God
…1) A time to find the self that God created
…2) A time to focus and immerse yourself before God
…3) A time of being filled
…4) A time to realize evangelism and missions – if you do not know evangelism, you cannot escape poverty of spirit and body; if you do not know missions, you cannot block disasters.

3. The time of prayer and worship in your daily life is an incredible time – just holding onto the covenant brings change
…1) Hannah realized that what she thought was her problem and suffering was not actually hers
…2) Samuel’s loneliness – a time to hear God’s voice
…3) Incidents opened the eyes to see the future. “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war. Those who saw Samuel believed in 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
