The Preparations for the Economy of Light

Prayer Journal: January 15, 2026
13.~17. Jan. 2025 World Youth Retreat
Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 2:1-7

By all means, you will be the main figures of the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age. With that in mind, right now you are building the “foundation for eternity.”

2 Timothy 2:1-7, and among those, because you must now fight, you have been called as spiritual soldiers. Naturally, you do not know well right now. You do not know, but when you live your lives later, what you do now will become the foundation. Perhaps you look at your elders or parents and think, “That part is regrettable” or “That part is difficult,” right? That was also imprinted when they were your age. That is why you must understand; they cannot fix it. There are also figures doing special work. Without a doubt, it was imprinted when they were your age. Even if you do not know well now, it will certainly come out, so right now is extremely important.

Now then, you must fight as spiritual soldiers, so what is the very first thing you must do? You “prepare for the economy of light.” You must remember this. You are not doing this just to eat and survive. We are preparing for the economy of light. Therefore, this year’s message is important, but you must continue to remember it.

Now, there is something you must do in order to do this.
① The Future Picture of the Remnant—In order to prepare and restore the economy of light, your future picture as a Remnant must be firmly created. Even if it is not precise, you must create it starting from now. You must create it from now so that when you are holding onto something wrong, you can fix it. If you do not hold onto it now, you won’t even know if it is wrong or right. That is why most of our important middle and high school Remnants have failed to grasp this part. You must be certain about that picture of how you will go forward in the future, but that part is vague. They say Napoleon ate black bread when he was young. Black bread is something very poor people eat. Napoleon’s family was not poor, yet Napoleon always ate black bread. Someone asked, “Why do you keep eating black bread?” Napoleon answered simply without hesitation, “Because I am going to be a soldier in the future; soldiers ate black bread.” “Because I am going to be a soldier”—those words mean his picture regarding this was certain. He really became a hero, didn’t he? When did that enter him? It was already imprinted when he was your age. As you know, Stalin killed many people, and when he was your age, he was subjected to violence by his father every single day. It was imprinted. That is why when he seized power, he killed people. I used these two people from history as metaphors, but everyone is like that.

② 3 Concentrations / 3 Settings / 3 Answers—With this, you must do 3 concentrations. Now, if this picture has emerged, the 3 concentrations simply mean doing it in the morning, afternoon, and evening. You do it even if it is short. Doing it briefly during your time is better than doing it for 40 days as an adult. You do it continuously. In some ways, at your age, even doing it once produces an effect. Then, the platform, watchtower bartizan, or antenna that has no choice but to come to you will be created. This is the 3 settings. You do this continuously through prayer. You must never miss this. Then, you will know the problems, conflicts, and crises in advance and find the answers. Other people avoid those things and run away when they arise, right? You know them and enter into them. All 7 Remnants did that.

③ 300%—And starting today, the thing you worry about most is your studies, right? Even those who do well find it hard. Those who are good at studying find it hard because of studying, and those who are not find it hard because they aren’t. Starting today, do not do that. You are to prepare the future 300% regarding this. If you do this, you will undoubtedly be victorious. All 7 Remnants were like this. This is Lecture 1.

So from now on, if you pray just a little bit, you will see this.
There are probably some people who have grabbed hold of it by now. Then you must definitely do it this way. If you continue prayer in the morning, afternoon, and evening, as you keep doing it, something will emerge. The settings will be made. Without you even knowing, the strength to overcome the world will firmly arise. When these combine, the 300% comes out. 100% regarding myself is prepared. And the eyes to see the field—even though you are young, you will see it 100% like the 7 Remnants. Then, you will see the future and the system regarding that which adults cannot see. Why? Because you know; this is everything. If you study hard and graduate from the best university but this is not prepared, you will only see benefit as much as you studied. You will get a job somewhat well. If you graduate at the top of Seoul National University, it will be good for admission and good for getting a job. It is also advantageous for being active in society. However, if this is not prepared, you are nothing more than an errand boy. Conversely, let’s say you graduated from a poor university in the countryside. But if this has been prepared, you will be used. You must remember this. Now is the opportunity. In some ways, you can view it as the last opportunity. When you actually enter university, you will be frantic. If you do not have this strength, you cannot live by your own spirit. You will have no choice but to package yourself. It is even harder when you go out into society. Because you are not prepared with this, you will be pushed back when you go out into society. Then, you will have no choice but to deceive even yourself. That is called a facade that goes beyond packaging. You will have to live like that your whole life. The strength to move the Gospel will not arise. You must keep this in mind.

Introduction—The Reason
Then, why must we restore the economy of light? You must know the reason for this. There are two reasons.

1. Darkness
Because we are in the midst of darkness, no matter how great a person is, a person in the midst of darkness is darkness. No matter how good-looking they are, a person in the midst of darkness is darkness. Right? Therefore, there is no way to overcome darkness except for one. There is no way to overcome darkness except for one. It is light. To use you as a metaphor now, this light—it isn’t spiritual darkness, but if you turn off these electric lights, it becomes pitch black. Especially at night, if you turn them off, you can’t see anything. No matter how much you scream, it does not become bright. No matter what demand you make, it does not become bright. Rather, it is dangerous if you struggle. However, if you flip the switch and turn on the light, it is simple. It is the same spiritually. People do not know they have fallen into darkness. You must know. You must understand the Bible a little bit.

(1) Genesis 1:2, Originally humans were in the midst of emptiness, chaos, and darkness.

(2) Isaiah 60:2, That is why when they completely failed, it was recorded like this in Isaiah 60:2. Darkness covered the earth, and thick darkness was upon all peoples; they do not know. They do not know why such difficulty came; even though the captivity was prophesied, they do not know even as they are being taken captive. Why is it like this? Are we not looking at our country now? It is now completely seized by darkness. That is why your prayers are important.
It seems like nothing, but our country had these difficulties in the past. It existed even when I was born. During the Korean War, now if you have a little money, you can just go to the supermarket and eat something, right? Back then, we starved all day. There was nothing. War broke out, poverty struck, and our country—Japan suppressed us, China suppressed us, Russia suppressed us; they kept suppressing our country. At that time, missionaries who made our country known and planted hope entered. They came and almost all died here. How difficult a country was ours? Why did they die? Because the environment was so bad and there were so many invisible germs, foreigners died immediately after entering. But we were somewhat infected by the germs and had immunity, right? If you are not careful and go live in some valley in a developing country for a few days, you could drop dead. Our country was that difficult. But there is something those people said as they died. Since it was Joseon back then, they said, “Joseon is a country with hope.” No one said our country had hope, but those missionaries said, “Joseon is a country with hope; among the places we have traveled, it is the country with the most hope.” That is what those people said. But 70 years have passed, and our country has entered the ranks of advanced nations and is doing world evangelization. Now the whole world is flocking to hear the Remnant message. Darkness—you must know this darkness. That is why no matter how much effort you make, it doesn’t work.

(3) In Colossians 1:13, it says He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness.

(4) Traps (Genesis 3/6/11)—What kind of darkness is it exactly? Satan created traps so that we could never know, and we are fallen into them. I know nothing but myself, Genesis 3, fallen into that. We are caught by Satan. When you go somewhere and see a person who really can’t be reasoned with, what is the only thing they know? They only know themselves, right? That is Genesis 3. Also, there is nothing more frustrating with our parents, right? We want to respect our parents, but when they are so unreasonable, we can’t, right? What is it that those parents cannot communicate through? Their own thoughts are everything. Right? If that develops a little more, it becomes “my things.” That is Genesis 6. The Nephilim of Noah’s age. Then, because they have to survive now, they know only “us.” It doesn’t matter about anything else, just “us,” so they fight. That is the highest level. That is called the Tower of Babel, being caught exactly in this. They cannot escape. In the midst of this, suffering comes, doesn’t it? People do not know why suffering comes. Strange diseases enter the home, and they do not know why they enter. If you open your eyes and look closely, you will know what you must do. In your family or around you, you will see people suffering from truly strange diseases. But they do not know why.

(5) Frames (Acts 13/16/19)—This gradually grows and becomes globalized, and here Satan makes frames so that people cannot budge. That is how superstitions, idols, and religions were created. If made a bit better, it becomes a temple; they make these, turn them into idols, and when you go on world travels, you go to see these, don’t you? Without knowing, and because you need to know, they build idol temples all over the world and gather people, and so they do.

(6) Snares (John 8:44)—Then, they are caught exactly in a snare. In John 8:44, they are caught exactly in 6 snares. They exist in all humans. They cannot escape.

(7) Matthew 12:26-30 / 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 / John 16:11-14 / 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, It would be okay if it ended with this. Jesus finally said in Matthew 12:26-30 that this Satan sets up a bartizan inside you invisibly. I can’t even pray; prayer doesn’t work. It is during your time. If you set up the prayer bartizan right now, it becomes something for eternity, but almost no one can pray. Even inside the church, when problems come to the home, they change like unbelievers. You call that being tested, right? If you hear some words, you fall for all of it, and it would still be okay at this level. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, he even made a fortress. Satan, inside of us—humans do not know. Jesus spoke directly. Satan has become the ruler of your world; you follow the world all along. Without knowing, you just follow. What will happen to the earth in the future? They say war and immense things will come, right? They do not know why it comes. You must shine the light. 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, he is the god of the world; because you do exorcisms, it seems to work, and you offer ancestral sacrifices, and as you do it, it seems to work—he collapses you like this. Right now is extremely important.

If you do not make a bartizan with Christ, you will encounter something as you live your life in the future. While studying, you might think, “I love the history, tradition, and culture of the past so much,” which is natural, but you get stuck exactly there. Problems come, right? You are stuck. Because you miss Christ, you are stuck. That is called being conservative. One day as you are living and studying, new things are so good—that’s natural, right? You want to help those living in difficulty, you want to be with those who are marginalized—that’s good, right? You get stuck there. That is called being progressive. As that happens, it doesn’t end there. Things that entered during childhood develop. Because they go too far this way, they are called the right wing. They go too far that way. They cannot come back. They are called the left wing. So it doesn’t end with that. There are countries on these sides too. Places like China, Russia, and North Korea are on the left side. “See, we must live equally,” right? That is called communism. Our country is half and half, so both sides are poking at us. On this side is the representative country, America—”No, you must live according to ability, you must have as much as you worked for, talent is talent, and what isn’t isn’t”—this is capitalism, and it goes like that. Countries fight again. We do not know. But with what was imprinted without knowing, I find myself somewhere without realizing it. The earth is doing that nonsense right now. Right now, it is absolutely impossible without the light. As you go forward, you have to be stuck on something. Right? Looking at people, you realize love and must help, and philanthropy is good, but because that becomes philanthropism, it becomes a problem. Right? Because it becomes an “ism,” I am only satisfied if I do it that way. That’s not it, right? You mistreat your parents at home and go outside to volunteer, right? For whom is that? It’s for me. It’s not for those people. After chasing all the children out of the house, you go visit an orphanage, right? Is that right? It becomes that way. This darkness—Satan endlessly collapses humans. Right now, for you, right now is everything. With what is imprinted now, you save the world. Why?

2. Light
Because it is the light.

(1) Genesis 1:3, It is the light of creation. It is impossible without this light.

(2) Isaiah 60:1-2, It is not just light. Arise, shine, for the glory of the LORD has risen upon you; it is not just light. The light of glory that saves people has come upon you.

(3) Psalm 27:1, Exactly what is this light? He confesses in Psalm 27:1 that it is the light of my salvation.

(4) John 1:11, Conclusion—what is this light? In John 1:11, Christ came as the light to solve this problem. Therefore, to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. This God who is light comes to me as the Word.

(5) John 1:14, The Word is God, but He came clothed in a human body. This is an immense story. Why must it be this way? Because otherwise, it cannot be solved; all excuses are lies. Do not listen to them. You must save the world. You should take the words of people as prayer topics, but you must not put them in your heart. In the future, right? When you go to church, take everything as a prayer topic; if you put that in your heart, you will die. Know the words of parents as lessons of love and take them as prayer topics; if you store them, it will be big trouble. Even teachers have many spiritual problems. You only need to hear the knowledge that teacher teaches; if you put that person’s character in your heart, it will be big trouble. That is the only thing I realized. “Ah, I see”—just realizing that much leads to world evangelization. You are in a very important time schedule.

(6) 1 Peter 2:9, Therefore, in 1 Peter 2:9, it says He called you as a chosen people and a royal priesthood to shine this light.

(7) Matthew 5:14, Therefore, the moment you meet Christ, Matthew 5:14 says you are the light of the world; it doesn’t say “become” the light. You ARE the light!
Whenever I see our middle and high school retreats, I am always thankful—I feel sorry saying this to university students, but you understand the message more deeply than university students. Our middle and high school retreats are really like that. When going to university, I have to say slightly different words. Because I have to open their ears, when young adults gather, I have to say slightly different words. Why? Because they have many motives. When you gather adults, you really have to decorate your words. Why? Because only then will they open their ears. I used to make people laugh a lot in the past! Why? Because they weren’t listening, so that they would listen. One day a student sent me a letter. “Pastor, it was so funny my stomach hurt, so I don’t know what the sermon was about.” “Oh, Lord!” At that time, I changed it. Ah, I see, if the message is too funny, it won’t do; that too is humanism. Now you know the reason, right?

Main. Therefore, from now on, you are to equip yourselves with this while you are young. You just need to equip it now.
This is the ① posture of the summit who creates the future bartizan. This summit posture all becomes the future bartizan. Therefore, now you equip the ② content of the summit. Right? You just need to know the content. This is called the bartizan of God. Since you will become a summit anyway, you must know the ③ method of the summit, right? This method of the summit is your studies. Do not worry about studies. You just need to make it like this.

1. Summit Posture—”Future Bartizan”
Now, I will introduce the posture of the summit.

1) Genesis 37:1-11
Ordinary people only know about eating, wearing clothes, and who treats them well. That is all general people know. Joseph was not like that. What was it? He saw the sun, moon, stars, and the world being evangelized. You only need to know this. Align yourselves with this. Why? Because He called you this way. If you were going to be a beggar, you would have to prepare a tin can starting from now, right? Since you will become a summit, you must prepare. You continue the 3 concentrations. If you set the prayer, it will be made. One day, the 300% will just come out. That is the answer, but because people miss all of this, they have to follow unbelievers. It is even hard to eat. It becomes like this. You worked yourself to death doing errands for unbelievers, yet it’s even hard to eat—does that make sense? The church doesn’t revive either; naturally. Because it isn’t done, because all the real blessings were missed.

2) Exodus 2:1-10
Almost everyone gave up. Because it didn’t work, that was the time. It was taught to Moses. What the power of the Gospel is was taught. After teaching him, he was sent into the palace as an adopted son.

3) 1 Samuel 3:19
Now, this flipped the world. Most mothers only know “my child.” You treating them well isn’t actually treating them well. “My child”—Hannah realized this. “Give me a Nazirite”; not “my child,” but “Give me a Nazirite.” Thus, the son born was Samuel. Samuel prayed when he was your age, and not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.

4) 1 Samuel 16:13
How do 99.9% of people live? They just live however it happens. “What is the benefit to me?” “What should I eat to live?”—they live like this. At this time, David put the important covenant in his heart. You just need to put it in. The Ark of the Covenant, Philistia—it’s an embarrassing story. “Up until now, we were defeated by Philistia”—it’s not a problem of Philistia, right? You must realize it immediately. It’s not a Philistia problem; it’s our problem. Because he realized, in 1 Samuel 16:13, the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully upon him. That’s it.

5) 1 Kings 19:1-21
When a crisis is encountered, everyone runs away. However, there is a person who made a choice in the crisis. 1 Kings 19:1-21, it is Elisha. God has no choice but to use him.

6) Daniel 1:8-9
Because they couldn’t realize this, they became captives again. They went as captives and realized the covenant. You just need to realize it. It is Daniel 1:8-9. He resolved his heart.

7) Synagogue
Knowing this, Paul saw there was only one hope and entered the synagogue. That means you. If the bartizan of light is planted inside you, it is the end. You don’t know either. You don’t even know how great a blessing you will receive. I also received the Gospel when I was your age, but I couldn’t even imagine it.

2. Content of the Summit—The Bartizan of God (7/7/7) → 7 Bartizans
It is the content of the summit. If you just think a little bit about the 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts when you wake up in the morning, it will do. I can promise you. Even if you think about it just once a day, works will happen. Actually, even if you do it once in a while, works happen. If you did it every day, this would flip things over. What comes out from here are the 7 bartizans. Among the 7/7/7, especially the 7 bartizans become my bartizan. The bartizan of Satan will naturally crumble, and answers have no choice but to come. What is it? What are the 7 bartizans? The Triune God is with me invisibly. At that time, Jesus spoke of 40 days. The power of the throne comes upon me. It is invisible. This power of the throne restores the 5 powers to me. If you pray for this, the past, present, and future are finished. Finally, the strength to overcome the one who seized the power of the air arises in me. At this time, what is seen? It is CVDIP. At this time, what is it? You restore the three courtyards. I have just spoken of the 7 bartizans. I do this 24. You just need to do it a little bit.

3. Method of the Summit (Preparation for 300% Studies)
By doing this, this (the method of the summit) comes out. There are a few important things that bring this out. You receive answers every day, but how do you receive them?

1) Liberation—Specialization
“I am liberated from here”—you will always see this. You have been saved.
2) Enjoyment—Field-centeredness
“I always enjoy this blessing!”
3) Master—System
The third thing is important. If you are doing this, God’s plan just comes as an answer. Now, if the answer has clearly come on the path you are going, there is nothing to hesitate about, right? You must listen well. The third thing is important. If you are doing this, God’s answer clearly comes, so there is no reason for me to hesitate. There is no reason for me to hesitate when I have already been accepted at the top of Harvard University, right? I just go, right? You hesitate when it doesn’t work; why would you when it does? This is now important. When you say you are a total unbeliever, shouldn’t you live like an unbeliever? Right? If you have no parents, shouldn’t you live like a beggar? But you have a house, so why live like a beggar? Now, if God’s answer doesn’t come to me at all, I must definitely live according to my thoughts. I must assert my own claims. Why? Because there is no answer. But when a certain answer has come before my life, I have no reason to hesitate. Do you understand what I am saying? This is important. Your master is not you, but God. If you become the master, it will be big trouble. You cannot overcome Satan. You cannot overcome the world. How can you overcome the whole world with your strength? You cannot. This is important.
What comes out from here? The talent you must do comes out with 100% specialization. 100% is seen in the field where you must go. The future you must do is seen 100%. It is the system. You go like this. Bill Gates, who was in the Nephilim, created it, didn’t he? Why wouldn’t we be able to create it? As a simple example—because talking about other things is complicated—I will talk about myself. I couldn’t realize it when I was your age. What could I not realize? I couldn’t realize what I should do in the future. I never even dreamed that I would become a pastor. But people around me kept telling me to do it. Yes, we haven’t spoken of it since childhood, but it is my mother’s prayer. Now, when this answer came out, I prepared 100% regarding evangelism. And out of 365 days, for about 300 days—almost every day. I went to the field. I could see God’s Word. I made the system exactly. Works absolutely happen. Therefore, do not worry about studies at all. In your time, almost everything will go toward the bio side and go toward the media side. You will all go toward blockchain. For now, you have no choice but to study. Because you have to take exams, and you have to know the basics, don’t you? Knowing the things of the past is a matter of conscience, so you study. You won’t be used. Of course, you might be used invisibly, but practically, it will become unrelated. Do not worry at all. Prepare exactly like this.

Conclusion

1. Economy of Light
Then what is the meaning of the economy of light?
(1) Me—Saving my work and having my studies be used.
(2) Family—Then, like the 7 Remnants, you will save your family.
(3) Church—You will save the church.
This is the economy of light. Because I saw many difficult nations when I was young, saving myself was not very difficult. Because I saw all the poverty, disease, and incompetence of my family, I must not be deceived by those. Why should I be deceived? I must not be deceived. If I am not deceived, it just happens. My family is poor, so how can I not be poor? I don’t spend money and I read books. I read many books and watched many movies in the past. Why? I must not be deceived; this is important. Go to the church. The church is doing other things. Why should I do that? I just don’t do it. I did just a little bit of what God wants, and works happened.

2. Spiritual Summit
Therefore, because you will become summits, the most important thing now is becoming a spiritual summit first. Understood? This is where the conclusion is made. Those people hitting and fighting each other in our country right now were originally people who were good at studying. Right? When they were your age at school, they were the ones who studied at the top. There are many among those people who were at the top of the bar exam and the civil service exam. That is why they could get to those positions. They got there, but they cannot keep their senses. Why? Because they know absolutely nothing about spiritual things. This must come first. Do you understand? Right now—if it doesn’t work now, you will be flustered when you go out later. You go to university from here, right? You will be completely flustered. University is different from middle and high school. You can go into the classroom, or you don’t have to. That is university. In high school, you had to go in, right? There is no such thing in university. You don’t have to go. If you don’t want to see the teacher, you don’t have to go. That is university. You also sign up for certain subjects. As long as I don’t have a problem with attendance, I don’t have to go. I’m telling you, that is university. All sorts of people and all sorts of things come out. If I don’t have an answer, if I don’t have this strength at all, what will happen? This must come first. From that moment on, from the moment one becomes a doctor, work happens to the point where one loses their mind. It’s late. From the moment one becomes a judge or prosecutor, one must be dragged 100% into humanism. There is no strength. From the moment one becomes a politician, they should already be at the level of leading the world. But because they lack this strength, they fall into problems together. That is why there is not even one person who has realized the Gospel. When you are at your age, if you already realize the Gospel and it is done, it is a simple story, and this (300%) comes first on the path you go. Because this (300%) comes first, I know it and other people see it and know it too. This answer will certainly come. Therefore, in Lecture 1, God will give you the blessing of 300% in studies! You must be certain. Why? Only with that can you save people.

3. Spiritual Summit Time
So just have a little bit of time. Everything else is good, but it will happen. Have a spiritual summit time. When you have it, make this picture certain. Draw it exactly. Draw the picture in your heart and keep doing it. Then 300% comes out. Because you leave this easy path and don’t do it, and because you cannot enjoy this blessing at all, it is difficult. Everyone, it’s hard when you try to find an unknown path, isn’t it? When I go on a path I know, I go while applying what I know. In Seoul, if I happen to be driving and it’s blocked, I don’t know where to go. I know all of Busan. If it’s blocked at some place, I go around, go up the mountain, come down—I know it all. Because I know, it becomes easy if you know.
You must never miss this for a lifetime. Now is the best opportunity. In some ways, it’s enough just to listen. Honestly, when adults were your age, that was how it was—I’m telling you, this answer comes. This is a surprising thing. This is the privilege of the Remnant. No, there are things you were a little moved by while reading a book, right? This also survives and comes as an answer. Therefore, if this is set up now, now you are finished, and you do world evangelization. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let this be the most important time of answers for us. We thank You for calling the Remnants who will save the world. Open our spiritual eyes to never miss this.
We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do Not Get Discouraged When You Pray!

Luke 18:1-8. Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. ²He said: “In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared what people thought. ³And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, ‘Grant me justice against my adversary.’

⁴“For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, ‘Even though I don’t fear God or care what people think, ⁵yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won’t eventually come and attack me!’”

⁶And the Lord said, “Listen to what the unjust judge says. ⁷And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? ⁸I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”

Prayer is a spiritual science. What constantly occupies your thoughts—your conscious mind, subconscious mind, and soul—eventually becomes reality. What is stored within you becomes your prayer.

Irrational thinking leads to an irrational life. As long as you remain trapped in an old framework of thinking, you cannot expect anything new in life. The framework of your thinking shapes your conscious mind, and over time it settles into your subconscious. What accumulates in the subconscious will eventually surface through your attitudes, words, and actions.

If your heart is filled with anxiety, confusion will inevitably follow. But if your heart is filled with faith and hope, your future will unfold accordingly. Most importantly, what is stored in your spirit and soul determines everything that takes place in your conscious and subconscious mind. That is why Scripture urges us to fill our inner being with the Word of God:

“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” (Hebrews 4:12).

Religious people often see temporary “answers” to prayer by tapping into the subconscious mind. But afterward, spiritual problems inevitably follow. Little do they realize that evil spirits work powerfully behind the scenes (Exodus 20:4–5; 1 Corinthians 10:20).

Success without knowing God leads to unavoidable consequences. Without the gospel, the more successful a person becomes, the more severe spiritual problems arise. Why? Because God created humanity as spiritual beings—there is no true happiness or rest apart from God.

Therefore, we must continually realize, enjoy, and confirm the gospel in our lives. When the gospel becomes our reality, we will not grow discouraged in prayer. In today’s passage, our Lord Jesus teaches us five essential elements of prayer.

First, we must know who our Father is when we pray. He is the One who brings justice for His chosen ones (Luke 18:7). He determines the future of our lives. Nothing is too hard for Him, and no request is beyond His power. He is the God who promised His own power to us (Acts 1:8).

Second, we must know who we are. We are His chosen ones. We have been given the right to receive answers to our prayers and the privilege of approaching His throne anytime and anywhere (Hebrews 4:16). In the name of Jesus, we stand on God’s authority, call upon the heavenly power, and demolish the strongholds of the enemy.

Third, prayer requires faith. Without faith, it is impossible to please God. We must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Jesus Himself lamented the lack of faith when He asked, “When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?” (Luke 18:8).

When prayer is filled with faith, it becomes the joy of life itself, and life becomes a prayer. But when unbelief fills the heart, everything becomes an obstacle to prayer. Scripture reminds us, “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness” (Romans 4:9).

Fourth, prayer must be accompanied by a burning desire aligned with God’s heart. When we understand our Father’s desire for the world, we will begin to see answers. God is pleased with prayers rooted in His covenant, as revealed in His Word.

David lived with such desire when he said, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under a tent” (1 Chronicles 17:1). He understood that restoring God’s presence among His people was the absolute priority. God answered David’s prayer with eternal blessings (1 Chronicles 17:4–14).

The widow in today’s passage also prayed with burning desire. Her determination for justice overcame every obstacle, including an unjust judge who neither feared God nor cared about people.

May God open our eyes to see the true condition of the world. May our hearts burn with His desire for the nations. Let us respond to His urgent call to proclaim the gospel to all peoples. To this end, let us hold firmly to the covenant of only Christ, only the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit, and let this covenant become our only prayer (Acts 1:1-14).

Our Father is the One who made the earth, formed it, and established it (Jeremiah 33:2). He is not like the heartless judge. When you pray, He listens attentively like a loving Father:

“Because he bends down to listen, I will pray as long as I have breath!” (Psalm 116:2).

When you face hardship or suffering for the sake of the gospel, do not lose heart. Continue to bring your case before God, the righteous Judge, and He will see that justice is done. Give all your worries to your Father. Turn every problem into prayer (Philippians 4:6-7).

Prayer. Father, teach me to pray as Your child, not as one who doubts Your heart. Help me overcome unbelief and fill my spirit with faith, hope, and trust in You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Healing of the Unforgiving Heart

Matthew 18:21-35. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”

²²Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

²³“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. ²⁵Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

²⁶“At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ ²⁷The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

²⁸“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

²⁹“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

³⁰“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. ³¹When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.

³²“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. ³³Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ ³⁴In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

³⁵“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

We all know that God calls us to forgive our brothers and sisters, yet forgiveness often feels impossibly difficult. It is not that we do not want to forgive; rather, we discover that we do not have the strength to forgive from within ourselves. Human determination alone cannot sustain forgiveness for long, particularly when the wounds run deep and the memories still ache.

Forgiveness becomes possible only when our lives are filled with the answers and blessings that come from God. A decision made by sheer willpower may last for a moment, but it quickly collapses if our hearts remain wounded and empty. True forgiveness flows not from effort, but from fullness. When the love of God fills our hearts, forgiveness becomes a natural response rather than a forced duty.

This is why understanding how deeply God loves us is essential. When we realize the extent of His grace toward us, forgiveness toward others begins to take root. Consider Joseph. He had every reason to seek revenge against his brothers for the betrayal that led to years of suffering. Yet he chose forgiveness, not because the pain was small, but because of his understanding of God’s absolute plan. He said, “And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you” (Genesis 45:5). Joseph saw his life through the lens of God’s covenant, not through the bitterness of his wounds.

God’s love for us is not merely spoken; it is demonstrated. Scripture reminds us that “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Our Lord Himself defined love in its highest form when He said, “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (John 15:13). This sacrificial love is the source of genuine forgiveness. That is why Jesus commands us, “Love each other as I have loved you” (John 15:12). He never commands us to do something without first giving us the power to obey.

Forgiveness also grows when we learn to understand people rather than simply react to them. David understood this well. He knew that Saul was being tormented by an evil spirit (1 Samuel 16:14). Instead of responding with hatred or revenge, David responded with compassion, honoring Saul as God’s anointed and continuing to forgive him even when his own life was at risk. David looked beyond Saul’s actions and discerned the deeper spiritual condition behind them.

In the same way, we must learn not to be deceived by outward behavior alone. When we look at others through the lens of the gospel, we begin to see wounded souls, confused minds, and broken hearts. We learn to ask why people think and act the way they do. As we do, God grants us wisdom and enlarges our capacity to forgive. Judgment is replaced by compassion, and resentment is transformed into intercession.

Jesus teaches us that forgiveness is not passive; it requires action. We are called to take the first step toward reconciliation. He said, “If you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there… First go and be reconciled to them” (Matthew 5:23–24). Forgiveness matters so deeply to God that He places it above acts of worship. We forgive first because God loved us first (1 John 4:19).

Forgiveness is also evangelistic in nature. When we forgive, we may become the channel through which God rescues someone from spiritual death. Scripture teaches that bringing a wandering soul back to the truth can save them and cover a multitude of sins (James 5:19–20). Forgiveness opens doors for healing, repentance, and restoration.

As we live in the abundance of God’s grace and remain rooted in His love, we discover that forgiveness is not limited. Jesus teaches us to forgive “not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” This is not a number to count, but a way of life grounded in grace. God has loved us with an everlasting love and drawn us with unfailing kindness (Jeremiah 31:3), and from that love flows the power to forgive continually.

To forgive is to let go. When we come before our Father, He does not merely forgive; He forgets. He declares, “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more.” (Isaiah 43:25). In the same way, forgiving others releases us from the prison of bitterness. Holding on to resentment harms us far more than it harms those who hurt us. Freedom enters our hearts the moment we forgive.

Jesus emphasized this truth repeatedly. He taught that forgiving others opens the door for us to experience the fullness of the Father’s forgiveness (Matthew 6:14–15). He urged us to forgive even as we pray, so that nothing blocks our fellowship with God (Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4). Forgiveness is not optional for the believer; it is essential for spiritual health and intimacy with God.

By grace, God has placed us in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. Through the blood of Christ, we have been cleansed from all sin and declared blameless before Him. We stand before God as those who have been completely and unconditionally forgiven. When we forgive others, it becomes our glory (Proverbs 19:11).

God uses forgiveness as a doorway to the future, lifting our eyes beyond present pain and positioning us for His greater purposes. Through forgiveness, He prepares us to bear witness to Christ, even to the ends of the earth.

Prayer. Father, heal my unforgiving heart. Fill me with the fullness of Your love, the assurance of salvation, and the peace of Your kingdom. As You have forgiven me, give me the grace to forgive others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Remnants’ Preparation for Their Mission

Prayer Journal: January 14, 2026
12. Apr. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Ac 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

It is the preparation of the Remnant’s mission. While the Business Missions was the mission for our church officers, the Remnants are currently in a period of preparation, so it has nothing to do with current answers. You don’t need answers right now. You are preparing three things.

1. Gospel 300%

It is your recovery of Gospel 300%. Within this recovery, there is something important:
[ Covenant ]
You recover through the covenant.
[ Faith ]
You recover this covenant through faith. “The moment you believe the Word, it is credited as righteousness.” Right? The moment you believe the words of a swindler, you are swindled. The moment you believe the words of man, you are seized by darkness. These are invisible things. Faith is invisible. “The substance of things hoped for.” It’s not seen. “The evidence of things not seen.” Therefore, you hold onto the covenant through faith:

1) The Age of Egypt: During the Age of Egypt, the Pentateuch (five books of Moses) was given. You must hold onto that. You must believe it. Genesis: the problem and answer of mankind. Exodus: exiting the darkness. Leviticus: true worship. Numbers: the twelve tribes and twelve regions. Deuteronomy: imprints, roots, and nature. Got it? You must believe this.

2) The Age of the Monarchy: The Age of the Monarchy opened. Among the kings, others were important, but David is crucial. He established 1,000 bartizans. You Remnants must develop the ability to establish 1,000 bartizans in the future. You must prepare the temple that has the three courtyards. Got it? Because this wasn’t done,

3) The Age of the Wanderers (Diaspora): The Age of the Wanderers. What did they take with them? (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8). They took Christ, worship, prayer, and answers. The answer is the Kingdom of God. Recover this.

2. Prayer 300%

Prepare for the recovery of Prayer 300%.
[ Enjoyment ]
This is enjoyment.
[ Prayer ]
While the covenant is about faith, how do you enjoy it? You enjoy it through prayer. You believe the covenant. You enjoy prayer. What do I mean?

1) 7 Bartizans
2) 7 Journeys
3) 7 Guideposts
Enjoy these through prayer. Then it will work. All answers will come later.

3. Future 300%

Prepare for Future 300%.
[ 24 · 25 · 00 (Eternity) ]
[ Enjoyment · Waiting · Challenge ]
Take these (24·25·00) along with enjoyment, waiting, and challenge. If you see this, everything works. So what are you doing?

1) 3 Courtyards: Prepare the three courtyards.
2) Friday-Saturday-Sunday Era: You already know this, right? Even if you know it, you must understand the parts within the square.
3) Meditation Era: You must be able to see this (24·25·00, enjoyment, waiting, challenge).

If you do this, Remnants don’t need to worry; they just need to wait. Because you are the protagonists of the 2030–2080 era, everything from right now will be useless then. You coming all the way to Europe to study is just doing the basics. You have to do it. However, you won’t be able to use just that. You must prepare.

Therefore, you will be quite alright in the future. Because of world evangelization, a “Korean Era” is coming. Because the Korean Era is coming, if you as Koreans devote yourselves here, an opportunity to help others will come.

For example, for the business Elder Min is doing, the more the “Korean Wave” (Hallyu) rises, the better. And the Korean Wave will happen. Why? Because by nature, Koreans are very active and “set things up.” It will happen. Moreover, there is the background of the evangelism movement behind it. At the same time, what is important? It is not just the Korean Era. It is merely raising Korea—raising you—but it is the Multi-ethnic Era. So, you have to make it so that multi-ethnic people cannot live without eating ramen. That is world evangelization. So everyone—French people, African people—everyone eats it. What do you do with the money earned like that? World evangelization. And while doing that, you build one representative church here. You must always pray and enjoy that. You must draw a picture. At the very least, if you live here and then go to heaven, shouldn’t you leave one footprint of the Gospel here? Pray for that as if your life depends on it. When I had nothing, I simply did actual world evangelization. That is why it took place. I have no special skills. Just prayer.

Faith, prayer, and these three (enjoyment, waiting, challenge). First, you must believe God’s Word. People believe even the words of men; but when you pray, it is enjoyment, waiting, and challenge. Remnants must surely do this.

That’s why whenever I come to the Europe conferences, go to the Japan conferences, or go to the American conferences, I feel something. Every time I go to the American conferences, I always feel, “America is the place where we can raise leaders through RU.” However, “Europe is the place where we can raise the 5,000 tribes in earnest.” I always feel that. I feel “237” a lot in America, and I feel “5,000 tribes” a lot in Europe. When I go to Japan, what do I feel? “This country will lay the bridge to the entire world.” I feel that a lot. Each country has something like that, right? I feel it, and the thing I feel most when I come to Europe is that this truly becomes the region to save the 5,000 tribes. So later, you have to make it so that the 5,000 tribes “cannot live without eating ramen.” Then, when you go to the 5,000 tribes, you first take a box of ramen and boil it to feed them. That is the method of delivering the Gospel. They tasted it? They can’t get away. And so this person is revived. In some sense, it is simple. Do you know what the 1 thing that has entered the world the most is? 1 in the world is Coca-Cola. It’s entered the most. What is 2? Soccer. It’s entered a lot. In the future, the thing that will enter most as 3 will be “Min-Ramen.” Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. We give glory to God who has prepared the Remnants to be able to do world evangelization. Therefore, please bless all church officers. Allow all missionaries to enjoy the secret of 24, 25, and eternity. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. 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
Matthew 6:31-34

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

What Is the Gospel?

well its the gospel we always hear but the title what is the gospel coming out today is a bit unique actually however since we can never be at peace and we cannot be happy without the gospel if there is an important word that is important for our life it is this gospel of jesus christ actually so i told you that for those who have the gospel everything both good and bad things is gods absolute privilege a special favor i gave you these words so because every problem we have is gods special favor i hope your gratitude will always be restored and why do people who dislike christ dislike him satan the devil inside them makes them dislike christ actually spiritual problems can be solved and fate can be changed and even future eternal problems can be solved but there is satan who hinders this and why is it that disciples who can actually see problems as blessings do so it is because they see spiritual facts when we look at reality facts and truth a problem is a problem actually problems in the field are problems problems in our lives are problems and problems of individuals and churches are problems but because we can see beyond all this as spiritual problems we actually see problems as blessings so before we talk about what is the gospel the meaning of the gospel literally means glad tidings such a meaning evangelion means good news glad tidings such a meaning and what is the content it is that jesus is the christ that is the gospel if you look at matthew chapter 1 verse 21 a definition regarding jesus appears the one whose name is jesus is the one who will save his people from their sins therefore the name savior was used and this savior jesus came to this earth with three offices to solve three problems this is the content you must surely deliver to the people you meet during this chuseok holiday anyway the savior saves humans from sin but seeing only this word and only this sentence many pastors say what is jesus he forgave my sins and saved me they stop only there so they are continually deceived by satan and cannot meet god oh this savior jesus came with three offices actually the word christ itself means the anointed one such a meaning so in this word the anointed one three offices are included first he solved the problem of satan as king there is evidence the reason the son of god appeared was to destroy the devils work so he clearly came as king and solved the problem of satan the second office is priest clearly god through 1 john chapter 1 verse 7 said the blood of his son jesus has cleansed us from all sin mark chapter 10 verse 45 and romans chapter 8 are the same and he was anointed as the third office as prophet there is evidence in john chapter 14 verse 6 jesus said he is the way the truth and the life and without jesus christ there is absolutely no way to meet god at this time an absolute negative oudeis is used so like this this gospel is jesus becoming the christ but people do not know this and think he is just like john the baptist john the baptist is someone who participates in politics and cries out for justice oh its not that he is wrong he is clean and practices asceticism what is elijah oh he is a mystical person the bible is not without mystery but if you become mysticism you become greatly exposed to satan not only that there are people with jeremiah ideology jesus now in matthew chapter 10 asked for the public opinion many people believe in jesus but what on earth do they think of jesus the third said he is like the prophet jeremiah jeremiah is the prophet of tears and does a lot of service and relief work it is also necessary for the church to serve provide relief and shed tears but this is not the essence he was called one of the prophets prophets are many prophets who deliver jesus christ he did the work of telling those who left god to return to god but if you look at acts chapter 18 from verse 24 onwards pastor apollos appears before this pastor apollos accepted jesus christ he literally had the nickname of satan apollon which is a nickname for satan we usually call it apollon the name pastor apollos has the name exactly as the name of satan apollon so what was the state when this person did not know and had not accepted jesus christ he was very well versed in the scriptures he was very eloquent in speech he spoke so well and knew the scriptures well and even taught about jesus very in detail and clearly and he boldly proclaimed jesus in the synagogue he explained jesus boldly and taught jesus oh and he explains jesus well he knows the scriptures so well but he never once talks about christ a pastor who does not say the word that jesus is the christ is a henchman of apollon satan which is a nickname for satan so because he is deceiving many people today i am a person who went all the way to the edge of hell because i did not know christ even after attending church for 38 years so i always thought of death i was always depressed and it was always tears and sadness and anger covered me so today as we face this chuseok holiday the holiday is not what is important i hope god gives you strength so that you can clearly deliver this jesus christ to everyone you meet so not to mention non believers even the saints attending church do not know the name of satan the devil itself there are even people who say is there a demon there is so satan has put humans of this dark world into a complete trap called me mine my success of genesis chapters 3 6 and 11 not only that he locked them in a frame of shamanism fortune telling and idols of acts chapters 13 16 and 19 and he has completely tied them with an altar as the six states of the non believer human so that they can never escape imagine the picture sitting in a large trap a frame the structure tool of the last stage put inside a box satan completely coiling in like a snake how can you escape so like this while being held by satan they do not even know they are held by satan is the problem you saints have now the current problem of reality a problem it is a spiritual problem it is a problem of being held by the demon satan the devil it is a problem of not being able to meet god it is a problem of not having received the solution to the sin problem shouldnt you speak this clearly this time you will be boiling taro soup is taro soup without taro a taro soup a christian who cannot speak of a christian and does not proclaim christ is he really a christian a pastor who never speaks of christ is he a pastor who delivers christ you must remember the fact that the problems of this country this nation and the whole world are problems that came because christ was not proclaimed so because they do not know they are held by satan while being held by satan everyone has become the master of their own life they are all living as satan told them as i told myself so they are tied to sin if you do not solve satan you remain in a state of being a sinner because satan keeps playing with you oh because they are tied to sin they are fallen into fate curse and disaster the word for gentile is nok the word for gentile companion is neker which means fate non believers cannot escape from fate this fate called neker mentioned as non believer is translated identically as death curse and disaster in other words so every non believer has not escaped from fate every non believer has the fact that they have the background of curse disaster and all this satanic background so because they cannot meet god they are not happy it is suffocating they are worried about the future so because they cannot meet god they have no choice but to wander and while wandering they are in pain and have no choice but to perform idol worship or do religious life or go find shamanism or go find a fortune teller or have no choice but to worship idols it is natural it is a natural thing for non believers to perform ancestral rites during the chuseok holiday if they do not perform them demons torment them so serving demons because of fear is called religion deisidaimonia it is clearly stated in acts chapter 25 verse 19 performing ancestral rites because of fear of demons is called religion so because everyone is fallen into such religion no one can solve this problem there is no answer to liberate me from the pain and this problem you must remember the fact that there is none except christ so these non believers package themselves very glamorously on the outside they act as if they are living well so those of you who went for chuseok this time have already gone and the remaining ones among your family or you will be going wont you then if you do not know the existence of this satan and do not know the existence of christ what happens is i believe in jesus and attend church but it is a bit difficult non believers seem to live very well who knows their inner hearts they all package it proverbs chapter 24 verse 1 says do not fear the prosperity of the wicked it says do not even try to be with them so there is absolutely nothing to envy about the prosperity of the wicked and you should think that everyone you meet now is possessed by a demon when i say this you might think i am too harsh on you but if you cannot explain christ you are being influenced by a demon if you cannot enjoy christ you are influenced by a demon so you receive grace in church but when you go outside you keep shaking dont you keep having unbelief so seeing such fields of yours and mine from now on say that it is all finished if it is the gospel and say the gospel is everything now this story is what i am telling to us and to all of you but when it becomes an extreme situation then there is no gospel or anything else you do away with the gospel in the end you take your own thing going your own way choosing your own thing is it not can you fully choose the gospel in front of money or in front of your pride or your own benefit or economy i have chosen it oh a deaconess who left us saw that we were riding in a car together but a famous person i cannot say who tried to buy a bottled water factory they were trying to buy a bottled water factory but now they had to money launder it oh they money launder it so to do a resale they wanted our church to take that honor and so to immediately money launder and tax launder and do a resale a solicitation came in saying they would give 1 point 2 billion won in exchange for that if it were you through the church you do a resale and when you purchase real estate you can receive 1 point 2 billion won and we can just lend our name cant we but i refused why oh a church is not operated with money prepared through such corrupt illegalities a church is not built with such money so that person got very angry he said he tried to help the church himself how could i refuse such an offer i told him to go to another church there are no worlds but many churches i said he could go to such a church so he was very surprised actually the deaconess was surprised but because a church moves with offerings that have the lives of the saints as collateral the offering you give is not just money that is life offering my life is an offering so because god died on the cross for us with a life as collateral god operates the church with money that is like life more precious than god for us so you must always make an important choice so i hope it becomes a blessing of receiving gods guidance and so because choices are made wrongly like this in extreme situations if in an extreme situation the gospel is of no use then other general evidence is also of no use in any case we must remember the fact that jesus is the christ so when you and i see it is true that we were born again by the spirit of jesus christ we were born again and are gods people but most cannot transcend themselves my own thing is strong it is me mine and my success it just cannot be helped everyone is like that when you look not only that there are many past scars the future is unstable today is hard there are many complaints dissatisfactions anxieties and worries the words of people come in the sounds of the world are heard it is the word of satan in the end is it not then do you know where i am where are you you should be within the flow of gods word but everyone is in their own position they are in their own thoughts they are in their own location they are in my standards so so that we can change this enter into the prayer of 7 7 7 because there is no other way so you must completely reach a conclusion in only jesus christ and you must obtain the strength to stand at the throne only then can you save 2 37 and the whole world and when you pray holding gods word god can use you for world evangelization so from now on even if my life is difficult and hard there is a joy and emotion that others do not know so it becomes a special favor i bless you in jesus christ that such a blessing will come upon you today so in the main body what is the gospel jesus is the christ that is the gospel good joyful yes for us oh for you to buy a house is a joyful thing and for your children to get a job at a good place is a joyful thing and being healthy is joyful it is all joyful what is the truly fundamental joyful name being liberated from the devil is the joyful name the fact that you escaped from fate is the joyful news the fact that the way to meet god is christ is the joyful news so because only through this christ you and i are liberated and saved a message regarding liberation comes doesnt it in john chapter 8 verse 44 all people are in satans 12 strategies everything i said in the introduction are the 12 strategies we came out liberated from here so clearly in jeremiah chapter 15 verse 21 god made a promise what did he say i will deliver you from the hand of the wicked oh and i will save you from the hand of the very terrible ones he promised so you must remember the fact that satan is not even a match for us if you look at john chapter 19 verse 30 it is all finished it is all completed it is all accomplished they are the same words but oh what this means is that the past me who had no choice but to be destroyed is now gone because we received liberation from satan fate and this background of hell if you and i look only at christ from now on it is all finished but it doesnt work well actually yes so i have thought about this when they killed jesus on the cross who killed him have you ever thought about that i repented a lot to god this week because of that first the one who sold jesus to be killed on the cross was judas iscariot who was the closest he was the person who followed jesus for 3 years and was in charge of the money the accounting so those who are in charge of accounting must pray a lot second do you know who the people were who bought jesus and demanded that he be killed and die on the cross they are religious people pharisees then sadducees then members of the sanhedrin they are all such people oh and who was the one who actually sentenced jesus to be executed on the cross it was pilate who had the political power who were the people who actually nailed jesus to the cross they were soldiers and civil servants you will know well then did only those people nail jesus to the cross i think there is another accomplice it is me it is you yourself we were the chief among sinners jesus died on the cross for me if i miss this fact our emotion and the joy of salvation disappear for me all throughout this week i thought i am the main culprit who nailed jesus to the cross because of my sin i left god didnt i i was always deceived by satan didnt i i was in original sin that i could not solve jesus died on the cross for such a person as me while thinking about what is the gospel this week i thought that i nailed jesus to the cross are you free from this did you truly not nail jesus to the cross for a week so today we must reach a conclusion on the fact that only this cross of christ only the resurrected power becomes my power becomes my strength and becomes my hope and expectation amen it is romans chapter 8 verse 2 oh all sins oh the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death we must remember one thing here people of the world do not know what original sin is original sin is not a sin i committed it is the fundamental essential sin that started in genesis chapter 3 i never once committed it oh but our problem is oh if we do not solve this satan hell and this sin problem we have fallen into original sin oh in john chapter 10 verse 9 what is sin you do not know god not knowing god is sin not believing god is sin not being able to speak of jesus becoming the christ and my not knowing christ is sin because every sin of not meeting god is sin the state of not being saved is all sin it is original sin so some people say this a child was born and died immediately would he not be saved that is exactly genesis chapter 3 they think it is their own child it is not their own child you the child sent to you oh it is a child god sent to you so in the end they cannot escape from my thing how can my child who was born from my body and died immediately go to hell they have not escaped from me you it is a life even if you live for 1 second and die and it is a life if you live for 100 years and die every human born in genesis chapter 3 is born with the sin problem they are born as sinners in the genealogy of satan they are born with hell as their background unless he accepts jesus christ and his status is changed to a child of god he cannot be saved so here clearly you oh from now on a conclusion must be reached the moment a child kicks in the womb humans enter the range of satans attack satan and the devil have occupied the entire space of the universe living in that kingdom of satan and the devil but if they do not know the way to meet god how can they escape from original sin people all talk about behavior isaiah chapter 43 verse 25 says this i the lord am the one who blots out your transgressions for my own sake and i will not remember your sins original sin is not remembered clearly for personal sins the moment a sin is committed immediately it is present active participle it is blotted out immediately so just like what came out in romans chapter 8 verse 2 the law of the spirit of life in christ jesus has finished sin and death completely and once for all amen so we must remember the fact that we are in a status that listens to god and no longer receives the spirit of original sin oh so i said we must recover what christ gave us we must recover christ the kingdom of god and the fullness of the holy spirit please remember 2 corinthians chapter 13 verse 5 test yourselves to see if you are in the faith confirm it do i truly believe god as a pastor smelling of money is also not believing god i have seen too many pastors kneeling before money i could not speak i had nothing to say but the important thing is pastors do not want to kneel because of money because the saints do not receive answers they cannot devote so the pastor has no money he does strange things he has to eat and live doesnt he they all do not believe god they must die of hunger if you are thinking of failing you can fail if you die you can die god oh he not only will not let you die but even if you die you obtain eternal life you must completely give up so today oh the journey of the bartizan the signpost appears please remember deuteronomy chapter 30 verse 16 i have set before you life and death and the law and the curse god says if you want to save yourself and save your posterity choose life oh please remember it people of the world say oh when speaking of truth and falsehood you should not use dichotomy of course in the world there are various people and various people exist and there are various ideologies and various cultures and various political disagreements however in the spiritual world there are only two things there is no neutral zone is it me or evil heaven or hell curse or blessing if you look at genesis chapter 1 verses 27 and 28 god gives a blessing to adam and eve and tell them to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and conquer the earth rule over the fish of the sea the birds of the air and every living creature that moves on the ground conquering and ruling is for the one who has received the blessing but the word for receiving the blessing berakah is derived from the word barakh what is barakh it means to completely kneel before god if you want to conquer and rule the world i must not exist you must completely kneel before god for the blessing of genesis chapter 1 verse 28 given by god to truly be recovered in genesis chapter 2 verse 17 oh god created man in his own image and in the image of god he created them male and female he created them the word for create bara appeared three times but one was not translated two times the word bara was translated and the one that is not incomplete was not translated in the spiritual world god even now is safely recovering us as the image of god within christ so the word image appears it is recovering the image of god to the extent that the image of god is recovered i can kneel to god and when i kneel before god the fact is he gives the authority to rule and conquer so today we oh with the clear word of god you from now on in the spiritual world there is no middle ground you must remember the fact that you have to choose between the two and for those who have already gone home for this chuseok holiday or those who will go a little later you must make a clear decision on what to choose so you and i oh there is something given by jesus the triune god works by performing with the word he has answered us so that we can pray in that name with the saving power of god the son the holy spirit even now works so that we know the gospel and deliver the gospel oh you must pray so that this triune god descends upon my soul spirit heart thoughts and life then without even realizing it god gives an answer to the extent of saving 2 37 beyond time and space with the power of the throne such a person is an unprecedented and unique existence if that happens secondly thirdly my past is also seen as gods special favor today is also seen as a special favor within gods absolute sovereignty the future is also seen as what god will prepare then into the places you go spirituality intellect physical strength economic power and manpower are restored then because such invisible strength is restored you can move the spiritual world you have the strength to win over the one who has the authority of the air you mobilize the heavenly host you pull in the power of the throne there is the strength to move such a spiritual world and if you truly go with the covenant of christ the vision of world evangelization is within me then it always becomes the dream of my life then to the extent that the image of god is recovered in me my life becomes a masterpiece so going on this journey of the covenant in advance and from now on what must you do wherever you go always from now on the three courtyards saving non believers healing the sick and delivering to the posterity so through the friday saturday sunday era they have been telling us to become the main figure of the meditation era if so how is it this is exactly you and i a bartizan means a bartizan is established to become a watchman a bartizan is the content what kind of content do i have while going on the journey now if i go on the journey with this bartizan the triune god guides me wherever you go he always guides you and i have my own secret method that others do not know there are 10 secrets to saving people wherever i go without ever competing there are 10 foundations that do not shake in any case there are 9 secrets where you go and receive the flow in the field now there is a flow doesnt it what you choose when you choose something with what 5 assurances then the camp of your life comes out the 62 true answers come out and your life step itself becomes a camp then from now on as a watchman on the way to such a bartizan what should we establish we must establish a bartizan possessing the secret of calvary only christ that bartizan must be established with the secret of mount olivet to spread the kingdom of god to the whole world then i must deliver the fullness of the holy spirit of marks upper room to that person then for the blessing of antioch while everyone else collapsed only antioch received the economic answer so through the work of this antioch god performs a camp guided by the holy spirit in acts chapter 13 and the holy spirit worked and the path of the holy spirit was opened didnt it then later if you look at chapter 16 rather problems and the door not opening became a turning point and in the end it was even looking toward the rome world evangelization in chapter 19 this is now the seven bartizans seven journeys and seven signposts so i hope you will have the blessing of praying while choosing this oh thirdly what is the gospel it said it is that the owner has changed he was the master the devil i thought i was the master but actually the devil was the master so to those who received him to those who believed in his name he gave the authority to become a child of god now here people think it is finished just by receiving second they miss the fact that the one who believes in his name is present active participle our receiving jesus christ is a one time event as my past it is a one time event that happens once receiving is finished once you do it but although you and i received and were saved we live in the devils kingdom do we not oh this world itself is still living in the world and we live in the kingdom of satan receiving worldly values and worldly education we have no choice but to live with worldly people and worldly methods then unless faith arises as my being a present active participle i even forget the fact that i received so today it is two things the one who receives the one who believes in his name it is the present it is a participle to the one who believes dynamically the fact is the status and authority of being gods child appear oh then in 2 corinthians chapter 5 verse 11 it says a new creation you and i therefore are a new creation in christ so the spiritual dna of you and i has changed for a person who is saved and has the gospel however if there is no gospel think about it for a moment if you look at matthew chapter 11 chapter 12 verse 26 satan the devil a demon builds a house so by being possessed by that demon if it has not been long you can just receive him we know that brother from before didnt we that brother nunutae or whoever in the case of that brother it hadnt been long since he had the demon so he was completely cured in 3 months even if it takes 20 or 30 days he just received and it was finished but there are people for whom it has been a long time you can think it takes a long time however because the demon did not build a house receiving is finished immediately but if you neglect it if you neglect it and it becomes long he builds a house not only that if you look through john chapter 16 verses 11 and 2 and so on what appears the world has a king of the world so listen to the kings words well to succeed you must listen to the kings words well to succeed doesnt it 2 corinthians chapter 4 verses 4 and 5 says this world has a god believe in the god worship idols he is always a god himself also in 2 corinthians chapter 10 verses 4 and 5 what appears in the end a fortress is formed within me there are many things better than the worlds theory and god my thoughts are priority if you look at galatians chapter 2 verses 10 and 20 without even realizing it even a great person who believes in jesus and is an evangelist like peter or barnabas cannot let go of their own things the law i learned says the law must be kept it becomes like this this must all be completely changed to the gospel of christ in galatians chapter 2 verse 20 oh we were crucified on the cross this is completeness it is not that you die because you want to die before god i must pray to die so what comes out is nekros means the body dying oh apoktein means physiologically dying no it means killing in a murder oh and then apothnesko is what paul says i die daily it means physiological unbelief dying and the death of going to hell from fundamental original sin is called thanatos four words appear in greek so day by day we need a death of laying down my unbelief my nature and me we must die daily and because i died christ has newly lived within me if i do not die i live dont i so my thing comes out my method comes out if i am in a bad mood i am in a bad mood oh so i hope you will have the blessing of the owner changing in galatians chapter 2 verse 20 today for all saints who received the gospel from now on in order to be used as evangelists who can save 2 37 and 5 000 tribes if you look at romans chapter 16 verses 25 and 26 my gospel and the preaching of jesus christ was hidden from before the ages now it is revealed now there is my gospel the gospel is the gospel but that gospel must become mine you must drive out the satan working in me for whom christ came as king he must drive out this darkness that keeps coming to me he must become my christ he must solve my sin he must solve the hell background in me he must become christ for me i tell you there is my gospel no matter how much you know with your head if it doesn’t become my gospel it is of no use evangelism is the same there is evangelism that only i can do it is not the same as others everyone has a talent and there is a method god uses so each has their own talent so i hope you will surely find my gospel and my evangelism oh even with the same gospel the degree and method of acceptance differ for each individual if i say this you might think it is strange but the god we believe in is the same god but i who accept that god have a different degree depending on my state even with the same christ so open the friday saturday sunday era and from now on because you have to make a church with three courtyards and do it we pray and the word to be a main figure of meditation means this so only through jesus christ fate changes oh and it was like that at the tuesday meeting too only through this jesus christ religion is healed life is healed disease is healed and spiritual healing takes place it was said these are true answers these are the important messages of this tuesday meeting so today before god what is the gospel for you do i truly know the gospel enjoy the gospel and deliver the gospel before god oh i bless you in jesus christ that you will have such a blessing of praying especially during this chuseok holiday when it rains incense is burned on every mountain because it rains ancestral rites are performed in every house the time when demons work most in our country is this chuseok holiday and lunar new year so you must know because it is chuseok because others are resting it is a mistake if you think you will rest and rest from prayer too you are failing in the spiritual war the more it is like this the more you must fall down and pray some churches oh because it is chuseok holiday they skip dawn prayer or wednesday service we do them all even if it is one person we do it so please do that and for this week i cannot do it only on monday because i am moving oh i will continue to give the message next week so oh i bless you in jesus christ that you will have the blessing of praying father god who is in heaven jesus came to this earth in the status of christ and solved all problems of satan and changed every fate and solved the sin problem and opened the path to truly meet god we give you so much thanks for giving us this gospel and making us know it and we give you so much thanks for putting us in a position to deliver the gospel while we live in the world we are within various problems in this way or that way but clearly realize that all these problems are gods special grace and transcend these problems so that only a bartizan the seven bartizans the bartizan of the throne may be established within me and walk the journey of the throne allowed by god and work with the grace of the lord jesus christ so that there may be blessed evidences of establishing the signposts of the throne at every step we take we give thanks only to the father and pray in the name of jesus christ amen

The Tabernacle Filled With the Glory of the Lord

Prayer Journal: January 13, 2026
06. Apr. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 40:34-38

Thank you. We must surely know today what God has given to us who are walking the wilderness road. Now, what should we inform the multi-ethnic people when they come? Of course, we must inform them of Christ, but how should we inform them? That text is today’s message. The Ark of the Covenant and the covenant were important in the 1st service, but this part is also extremely important. When our Remnants go out, there is no one to help them. What must they take with them? Also, when you face difficulties, there is no one to help you. What is it that you must recover? Furthermore, when I am weak, have no strength, and am sick, people cannot help me. Therefore, what content must be recovered? These parts are extremely important. What is the greatest answer for us?

In today’s text, it said, “The glory of Jehovah was full.” There is no greater answer than this. For our Remnants, there is no greater strength than the power of Jehovah’s glory. This was after making the Tabernacle. Because there was no time, I didn’t read all the preceding parts, but the Tabernacle was completed and dedicated. Then, it said the glory of light—this light—was full. Those who are in the midst of many difficulties, do not be discouraged; you must obtain this strength. There are those who suffer from depression and keep giving up. Do not do that. You can go to the stage of fullness, but you yourselves keep giving up. If we can create the Friday, Saturday, Sunday era and help, it is to help you go to this (full) stage. Then this stage has meaning. It is because the individual and the surrounding environment keep going in the opposite direction instead of toward that blessing.

▣ Introduction_ Reason
Now then, in order to hold on firmly, it is the reason for the Temple filled with the glory of Jehovah. Now, we must first be clear about this, right?

1. The problem and answer that no one has taught.
What is the reason? It is the problem that no one has taught. They do not know where this came from. Here, we have now found the answer. No one teaches this, but:

1) Disasters: Because of what do disasters come?
2) Darkness (Satan): Because of what does darkness strike? This is Satan.
3) Hell: Because of what must we suffer in the background of hell? No one teaches this.

2. The light that no one can explain.
Therefore, through this Tabernacle and through the Gospel, a light that no one can explain was given. This word “glory” means light. It is this light that no intellectual can explain. This has come upon us. Therefore, it is not just anything.

1) Liberation: Therefore, it liberates us from these disasters, darkness, and hell. It has liberated us. Rather than saying we fought and won, it is that He liberated us. We cannot win.
2) Status: And then, He gave us status. He gave us the status of being a child of God.
3) Authority: And now, not only have we come out of darkness, but He even gives us the authority to overcome darkness.

3. Evidence for the posterity.
And we deliver the certain reason why the glory of Jehovah is full to the posterity. To the posterity, it is now not a simple delivery, but giving evidence.

1) Gen 41:1-38: This is what kind of evidence? It was what God promised to Abraham, but this glory came to Joseph and was fulfilled. No one in the whole world realized it. They didn’t even believe it. Because they didn’t even know what world evangelization was. In a situation where wars, disasters, and death were urgent all over the world, the glory of Jehovah was manifested over the whole earth through one person, Joseph. This covenant was fulfilled in the Tabernacle in the wilderness. Our Remnants must surely know this and take it with them.

2) Ex 5:1-12:46: Through twelve things, God raised miracles and broke all the darkness of Egypt. This glory began to appear in the Tabernacle after it was completed. It didn’t end with this. It continues into the future.

3) 1 Sam 7:1-15: It is to raise your posterity like Samuel and start the Mizpah movement. When multi-ethnic people come, you must surely tell them. “Through you, the light will shine upon your nation.” This is not a lie. If you say something else, that is wrong. Multi-ethnic people must take that with them. Even greater disasters may come to the whole world in the future. Not to mention wars here and there, but earthquakes—earthquakes are serious. Volcanic eruptions. We cannot know.

4) Ps 4:1-5 Temple Preparation: When this glory was delivered to David, it was not a problem that David defeated Goliath. That is something naturally won. He established 1,000 bartizans—prayer bartizans—throughout the entire region. It is amazing. And he prepared the Temple to save the whole world. This continues on. It is a blessing that Remnants must continue to enjoy. You must never miss it. In some sense, this isn’t about having “great faith” but is something natural.

5) Daniel, Three Friends, Esther: Look at this now. Through Remnants like Daniel, the three friends, and Esther who went to Babylon with the covenant, the glory of Jehovah was manifested over the whole earth. The prophet Isaiah prophesied. “Arise and shine.” And then above that, “The light of Jehovah’s glory has come upon you.” It is not telling you to make light and deliver it. “Because the light of Jehovah’s glory is upon you, arise and shine. The whole world will come back.” To where? To the light. That was explained. This must be delivered and evidenced to the posterity. It must not be simply delivered, but evidenced. Right? Even if they don’t know anything else, they know they aren’t receiving answers to prayer. Right? Evidence must come to the person themselves. Who said what, or what is this? It’s all nonsense. The person themselves knows. If there is evidence in the person themselves, they can manifest this glory wherever they go. Precious multi-ethnic people are flocking to our church now, but if you teach them something else, you will be cursed. You must make them know this and send them. It is written, “If you preach another gospel, let there be a curse upon you.” There is nothing better than the Gospel. That is how one lives.

6) Acts 1:1, 3, 8: This didn’t just end there. Christ Himself explained this light of Jehovah’s glory.

7) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8: Paul delivered this again to the posterity in the synagogues. This is what it’s talking about. This is the reason.

▣ Main Body_ Content
Then, what is the content of Jehovah’s glory? This is the main body. Since you must take it with you, I will tell you simply.

1. The Fundamental Church
Through the Tabernacle, you must first recover the fundamental church where the glory of Jehovah comes. What does that mean?

1) Me – WIO: You who are saved—the saved “I”—am the church. The temple. Right? Our saved Remnant is the church. The Bible teaches that. This is the fundamental. It teaches that. So what does it mean? God being with me (WITH) is the church. God being with our church as Immanuel is the church. Thinking everything was a difficulty but God blessing with Oneness—that is God’s blessing, and that is the church. You must recover this first.

2) Tent of Meeting: Therefore, when we hold this covenant and gather, it becomes the Tent of Meeting. This is the church.

3) Throne: Now, it is not just that. Heaven—the background of the Throne—is our church. Ultimately, heaven is also the church. Right? It is the place where believers gather. Since those who aren’t saved cannot come. Only believers can come. Now, you must recover this in terms of content first. And what else?

2. Public Worship
When we hold this covenant and give public worship, we must prepare the church where the glory of Jehovah descends. You can understand it simply.

1) Most Holy Place, Holy Place: A church that has the Most Holy Place where the Throne and covenant are fully enjoyed. A church that has the Holy Place where Jehovah’s covenant is fulfilled as it is. I spoke of this in the 1st service.

2) Three Courtyards: Even more importantly. A church that has the three courtyards. The glory of Jehovah has no choice but to descend.

3) Friday, Saturday, Sunday: He said to keep the Sabbath even at the risk of your life. A church that has Friday, Saturday, Sunday. The glory of Jehovah has no choice but to descend. Right? Answers cannot fail to come. That is why people didn’t really believe me when I started and went to Busan. I naturally believed it would happen. Because those churches had several dozen people gathered and it didn’t work, they kept thinking it wouldn’t work. So now Busan understands, but in the past, I actually looked for land where several thousand people could worship. Why? Because they had to be trained. People in between who didn’t understand kept worrying and such. We aren’t saying let’s do something big. The Word must be fulfilled and evangelism must be fulfilled. The Friday, Saturday, Sunday era. Where this glory of Jehovah descends fully. It doesn’t end with this.

3. Living Worship
If you look at today’s text, this Tabernacle moves. It is a living worship that moves into the wilderness. You must surely have these three as content. It is living worship.

1) Fullness (34): Verse 34, “The glory of Jehovah was full.” This is verse 34.

2) Cloud (36): Second, what is it? “When the cloud was over the Tabernacle, move, and if it is not over it, do not move.” How easy is it? “When Jehovah’s cloud was upon the Tabernacle, at that time, set out.” That is verse 36.

3) Day – Cloud, Night – Fire (38): And thirdly, He said something important. “During the day with a pillar of cloud, and at night with a pillar of fire.” This is verse 38. This is living worship. You must believe it. On the path you go, on the path our Remnant goes to do world evangelization, if it is hot, with a pillar of cloud, and if it is cold, with a pillar of fire. No matter what anyone says, God’s Word does not change. Take this covenant and go. And you must surely tell the multi-ethnic people this reason and content. Even more importantly.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Delivery ]
Conclusion. Giving worship is important, but delivering this glory of Jehovah is also important. Delivering it is what’s important.

1. Recovery of Worship
What is the very first thing in that delivery? What is it? You must recover three things, and among them, the very first is the recovery of worship. You must recover worship for those people. Worship doesn’t work? They are dead. I don’t need to give worship? That is a person who doesn’t need to exist. Right? Worship is not necessary? Then God is not necessary either. The church is not necessary. Is it communism? Communism doesn’t need that kind of thing. Recovery of worship. Now, what you must know is that the devil dared to come to Jesus to tempt Him. To Jesus. He threw three temptations. Taking advantage of His hunger, he brought something that looked like bread. In our Korean, it says ‘tteok’ (rice cake), but originally it was bread. He brought something looking like bread and said, “Make this into bread and eat it.” “Do not tempt the Lord your God. Man lives by the Word of God.” He rejected it precisely with the Word, but then after that, he stimulates pride (fame). First, he stimulated hunger—the physical—and now he stimulates pride. Quoting scripture, he said, “If you are the Son of God, show me.” That is the second temptation. “Jump down from the high pinnacle. Then because you are the Son of God, won’t angels come and support you?” This devil even knows the Bible. So Jesus did not fall for that and said what with the Word? The third thing is important. This is the goal. He really showed Him everything. He showed Him the whole world and said, “I will give it to you. Worship me.” Without any fear, to Jesus. Do you know what it is? The devil’s purpose is to take away your worship. It’s over. Right? Change the object of your worship. This is the devil’s goal. Recover worship. To what extent should you recover it?

2. Recovery of Answers
When you worship on Sunday, pray so that answers are seen and recovered. Missing this blessing on Sunday is truly foolish. Did I not speak of it earlier? You must recover the Most Holy Place, the Holy Place, the three courtyards, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and the era of meditation.

3. Recovery of the Flow
The third thing is important. It is the recovery of the flow. You must not miss anything. It is the recovery of the flow. You cannot collect the messages heard on Sunday for several decades. While you hold today’s message and pray, you imprint it today. Then, without fail, it takes root during the week. If it is imprinted, through prayer. This comes as an answer one day. That is the nature (lifestyle). You must surely recover the flow that way. Do not worry; if you are doing this, a person with spiritual problems will be much better. Why? It means they have spiritual sensitivity. Right? “I have depression.” It means you have the sensitivity to be depressed. Truly foolish things aren’t even depressed. Recover the flow. It is truly, truly so. Then one day, you will clearly see works arising. What? How does He work? The Word is fulfilled; evangelism is fulfilled; and missions is fulfilled. That is how darkness is blocked. You must make the multi-ethnic people know this when they come this time. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you receive truly many answers this week. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Allow us to recover the covenant. Let us not worry but enjoy and deliver the power of a child of God. During the Missions Conference, allow this covenant to surely be delivered to the multi-ethnic people. Allow the status and authority to be delivered. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Restoration God Desires

Matthew 18:18-20. “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. ¹⁹Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. ²⁰For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

When you are facing crises in life, it may be God’s invitation to stop, turn your heart toward Him, and restore worship—simply enjoying His presence and listening to His Word. When you feel isolated or weary on your covenant journey, it may be time to recover the blessing of the church, where God has promised to dwell and work with power.

When the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, God did not first give them strategies to survive the desert. Instead, He commanded them to bring offerings for the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:1–7), saying, “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8).

God’s priority was His presence. Once His presence was restored at the center, the wilderness could no longer define their lives. The same is true for us. When the reality of God’s presence is restored, the place no longer matters. Even in the wilderness, you rise above circumstances and begin to discover the hidden blessings God has prepared. That is the power of worship.

The same pattern appeared during Israel’s captivity. Through the prophet Haggai, God called His people to rebuild His house (Haggai 1:1–11), and with that command came an astounding promise: “I will once more shake the heavens and the earth… I will fill this house with glory… The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house… And in this place I will grant peace” (Haggai 2:6–9). Restoration of God’s house always leads to restoration of peace, direction, and glory, regardless of outward conditions.

Nothing is more urgent than restoring the covenant in your life. No matter where you are or what you are facing, return to the gospel—your true home. In the gospel, you find freedom from fear, clarity in confusion, and peace that the world cannot give. When Christ came, He promised that His church would be unstoppable, declaring that the gates of hell would not overcome it (Matthew 16:18). Before He ascended, He entrusted this church with the mission to reach all nations (Matthew 28:16–20).

When believers lose sight of the blessing of Christ’s church, they drift into religion and idolatry. The result is an age filled with darkness, spiritual disease, and repeated calamities. But the church God desires exists to set people free from their fundamental spiritual problems by the power of the gospel. This is not one mission among many; it is the only mission God has given His church.

What, then, is the church? Scripture says, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells among you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). You are the church. You have been set apart for God’s work, prepared long before you were born. The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, lives in you and will be with you forever, empowering you to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. Wherever you go, the church goes with you, because the Spirit of God goes with you.

When even two or three gather in the name of Jesus, He Himself is present among them (Matthew 18:20). In that moment, the church is established, and when that church prays in His name, the throne of the Triune God moves. Find someone who understands this mystery, and you will witness the living church of God being built—a church against which the power of hell cannot prevail.

Scripture gives us a clear picture of the kind of church God delights in: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). When the church holds firmly to the Word, lives in genuine fellowship, continually remembers and experiences the power of Christ’s death and resurrection, and devotes itself to prayer, God works in ways that transform lives and communities.

Pray for your church to be equipped by the power of the gospel—to heal those suffering from spiritual wounds, to break curses that run through family lines, and to block the disasters that afflict nations and the world. Remember that we are the church. Each of us is connected to Christ, the source of life. Let us live with that life, proclaim that life, and even stake our lives for the sake of the gospel so that others may be saved.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, God will call people out of darkness and bring them into His kingdom of light. Never forget that God’s power does not depend on numbers but on His covenant. As He promised, “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time, I will do this swiftly” (Isaiah 60:22).

Prayer. Father, establish Your church wherever I go today. Let Your presence dwell with me, and may the glory of Your church be revealed through my life to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Abiding in Christ

John 15:1-7. I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. ²He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. ³You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. ⁴Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

⁵“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. ⁶If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. ⁷If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

In Today’s Word, Jesus spoke to His disciples with full awareness of the reality unfolding before them—the coming destruction of Jerusalem, the eventual fall of the Roman Empire, and the turmoil that would mark the last days. Knowing the crises His followers would face, Jesus did not offer strategies rooted in human wisdom. Instead, He revealed the only way to stand firm when everything else shakes: remain in Him.

He first addressed the fear gripping their hearts. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me” (John 14:1). Jesus shifted their focus from visible circumstances to an unchanging relationship. He assured them that their future was secure in the Father’s house. Even His departure was not abandonment but preparation, for He promised to return and bring them into eternal fellowship with Him (John 14:1–3).

Then Jesus revealed the decisive reason they would not be left defenseless. The Father would send the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who would teach them all things, remind them of His words, and give them a peace the world could never offer (John 14:26–27). This peace was not the absence of trouble but the presence of God. Where the Spirit is present, the kingdom of God is active, heaven’s resources are released, and the power of Satan is broken. This is why believers do not need to fear even in the face of storms.

Jesus then brought everything into focus with a simple but profound truth: “I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). He did not describe a religious system or a moral code. He revealed a relationship rooted in life itself. Just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, we cannot live apart from Christ. Christianity is not moral adjustment; it is union with the living Christ.

This union is the reason believers have true life. Jesus came so that we might have life to the full (John 10:10), and this life is not found anywhere else. God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son; whoever has the Son has life (1 John 5:11–12). Because this relationship is based on God’s initiative and power, nothing can sever it—not failure, weakness, suffering, or even death. Paul was fully convinced that nothing in all creation could separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38–39).

Remaining in Christ does not mean trying harder; it means trusting deeper. When storms arise and fear threatens to overwhelm us, we remember that even the wind and waves obey His voice (Mark 4:39). As long as we remain in Him, peace is not something we seek—it is something we experience.

Fruit is the natural result of remaining in Christ. A branch does not struggle to bear fruit; it simply stays connected. In the same way, when we abide in Christ through His Word, walk in obedience, and depend on the Holy Spirit, fruit inevitably appears. Our lives become spiritually productive, stable, and fruitful, like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither (Psalm 1:3).

The most precious fruit God produces through us is people whose lives are transformed by the gospel. Paul called those he led to Christ his hope, joy, and crown (1 Thessalonians 2:19). This fruit is eternal and will testify to God’s grace long after our earthly lives end (Ephesians 2:7).

Remaining in Christ happens as we treasure His Word, allow it to dwell richly in our hearts, and let it shape our thoughts, decisions, and prayers. It happens as we recognize our identity and authority in Christ and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than our own strength. When God’s primary concern becomes our concern, our prayers align with His will, and Jesus promises that whatever we ask in His name will be done (John 15:7).

A life that remains in Christ is a life lived by the gospel, through the gospel, and for the gospel. Such a life cannot be shaken by anything because it is anchored in eternal reality.

Prayer. Father, thank You for uniting me with Christ, the true Vine. Heal my spirit, mind, and body through Your Spirit. Teach me to remain in Christ in every circumstance, and strengthen me to bear lasting fruit for Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Eternal Covenant

Prayer Journal: January 12, 2026
06. Apr. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 37:1-9

▣ Introduction: The Wilderness Way Prepare Everything for the Conquest of Canaan and World Evangelization

The World Missions Conference is approaching. We must ask: What should we do? What must we deliver to them? What kind of answers must we receive? Since this is the work once carried out by the Antioch Church, it is profoundly important.

Currently, Israel is traveling through the wilderness for 40 years. The reason is that God is preparing everything . No matter how much human effort is exerted, the Exodus was God’s will, the conquest of Canaan is God’s will, and world evangelization through Canaan is God’s will. We must prepare this covenant for the Missions Conference.

To those worshipping via video across the world, especially those in difficult situations without a pastor: do not merely listen to my sermon, but confirm the Word of God .

1. The Wilderness Way

1) A Dangerous and Difficult Place
The wilderness is dangerous and taxing. There are natural crises, cold nights, scorching days, and the threat of enemy tribes.

2) A Place Covered in Spiritual Darkness
More importantly, the wilderness is covered in invisible spiritual darkness. It is where the terrifying bartizans of Satan stand. Satan uses traps, frames, and snares to drive people into suffering. Missionaries in remote areas know this reality—it is a place covered in “dark politics” and spiritual oppression that one must pass through.

3) Israel’s Unbelief
The most frightening thing is not the environment, but Israel’s unbelief . Even though they were guaranteed to enter Canaan, they grew weary because of their surroundings. Despite God promising His power, they fell into unbelief due to their own weakness and human conflicts.

2. Follow the Ark of the Covenant

The instruction is clear: make the Ark of the Covenant and follow it . This means following the Word . If you miss this covenant, you will only hear the voices of those dying in unbelief. You must follow the evidence and the Word.

On the Lord’s day, do not talk much about people; that makes worship meaningless. Imprint the Word. Satan knows he cannot steal your salvation, so he tries to steal your worship . If you fail to imprint the Word during the weekly sermon, the worship becomes fruitless.

3. God’s Covenant is Often Different from Our Thoughts

Do not be deceived; you must go with the “Evidence of Only.”

The Promise: When Adam sinned, God promised the “Offspring of the woman,” and when Cain sinned, He provided a way of escape. These may seem like “nonsensical” solutions to the worldly mind, but they are the only evidence.
The Process: Joseph, Moses, and David held the covenant for world evangelization, yet they faced continuous suffering and were fugitives for half their lives. However, they were not deceived.
True Success: True success is world evangelization. Graduating from a top university or getting a high-paying job is not success if you cannot do world evangelization. Egypt and Babylon were not “successful” in God’s eyes. You must go with the evidence of “Only Christ.”

▣ Main: The Evidence You Must Hold

1. Cherish Eternal Things

Cherish what is eternal, not the fleeting things of man.

The Ark of the Covenant (v. 1): Made of acacia wood overlaid with gold, signifying things that do not rot.
The Tablets: The unchanging Word of God engraved in stone.
Aaron’s Budded Staff: A reminder that life buds through worship and the Word.
The Jar of Manna: Evidence that God provides even in the face of death.

Imprint, Root, and Nature: Don’t just listen; make the current flow of the Word your nature. Like Rockefeller’s mother told him: “Don’t listen to the words of men in church; go an hour early to pray; hold the Word all week.” He built 24 universities and 2,000 churches because of this.
Deliver to the Future Generation: The Ark had rings and poles so it could be carried (v. 2-5). This means the covenant must move and be delivered to your children.

2. Follow the Covenant Centered on the Gospel, Evangelism, and Missions

Gospel-Centered (v. 6): The “Atonement Cover” is the center. If you miss the Gospel, you will close your doors like the churches in Europe and America. Look at the content of God’s letter, not just the “grammar.”
Evangelism-Centered: You must save the people. The Ark was designed to be portable (v. 2-5) because it was meant to move toward the people.
Missions-Centered: These three centers are the only ones God will fulfill. If you try to revive a church through “strange methods,” it will become a problem. Hold onto this and pray all day.

3. What You Must Surely Enjoy

The Most Holy Place (v. 8-9): Enjoy the power of the Throne, the Ark, and the cherubim (angels) that fulfill the Kingdom of God.
The Holy Place: The Laver for cleansing, the Altar of Incense for the fragrance of Christ, the Lampstand for the light of Christ, and the Table of Shewbread for the bread of life. Also, the Altar of sacrifice that blocks disasters.
Outside the Temple: Establish the Courtyard of Healing (Prayer), the Courtyard of the Gentiles (237 nations), and the Courtyard of the Children (Future generation).

> Without spiritual strength, our children are powerless. I heard of a successful person from a wealthy family who almost died because their parents only pushed for academic success without giving them spiritual strength. They fell into a mental crisis and panic attacks, but were saved only when the Word of God (the Gospel Letter) finally reached them in the hospital. Human ability has a limit; it cannot block spiritual problems.

▣ Conclusion

God has “removed” three things, and for good reason:

1. The Ark of the Covenant: No one knows where it is. If it still existed, people would worship the object rather than the Covenant. Hold the Covenant , not the box.
2. The Original Manuscripts of the Bible: God removed the originals so we wouldn’t idolize the paper. Instead, we must hold onto the living Word and the Gospel.
3. The Physical Temple: The Herod Temple was destroyed. Jesus prophesied this. God doesn’t want an “idol temple”; He wants the recovery of the Church , the recovery of the Three Courtyards, and the era of Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

This blessing will be delivered to our posterity, the multi-ethnic groups, and the 5,000 tribes. If this is true, you will receive three blessings:

In Advance: You receive it early because we lack strength.
In Your Industry and Life: It will manifest in your daily work.
Eternal Evidence: What was hidden before the ages began is now being revealed and will last forever.

I bless you to have a day of hearing God’s Word. May those struggling with church conflicts find peace in the Word.

Prayer. Lord, we believe Your promised covenant will be fulfilled in Your people and delivered to the next generation. Let it reach the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes so that the culture of darkness is bound. Heal the spiritual pandemics of this age. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
