23. Jul. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Message 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8, 3:1-12, 27:24

God had prepared everything so that they could go all the way to Rome. In Matthew chapter 18, the disciples were arguing about “Who is the greatest?” They were fighting over position. Jesus, deeply disappointed, called a little child to Him and said, “Those like this child are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” In the end, Jesus said that they would become witnesses to the ends of the earth…
Now, the entire world is perishing in desperation. In some churches, neither the members nor even the pastors have any interest in evangelism—100%. That is why they are fighting over positions.
⑦ We must know what the real position inside the church is. ⑧ There is also a position that God has truly prepared outside the church. More importantly, ⑨ there are very important positions for evangelism and missions. You must be able to see these.

▣ Lecture 8: The Position Inside the Church (Acts 1:1–8)
Jesus Himself spoke about the positions within the church. On Mt Olive, He spoke perfectly (Acts 1:1–8).

Introduction: The absolute mission – The seven bartizans (When does the answer come?)
Here, Jesus spoke of the absolute mission—that is, the seven bartizans. We must know when the answers of the seven bartizans come. When does the power of the Triune God and the power of the throne work? That is extremely important. When does the strength that truly changes the three ages and overcomes the ruler of the air—the five powers—begin and where? We must also revive the world through the three courtyards. When will this CVDIP that saves the world be revealed? Let us see this as the introduction.

Main message – Since you already have your message notes, let us briefly review.
1. Position – Anointing (Ambassador / Mission)
Your position is one of anointing. When pastors lay hands on you, it is an act of anointing. Therefore, you are an ambassador of the king, prophet, and priest. When you hold onto this mission, works arise. Even if you pray only once a day holding onto this, works will take place. This is an extremely important position within the church—you must never lose hold of it.

2. Region group – The five foundations (Acts 2:41)
How did I change the regional group? I changed it to the five foundations. You must continue doing this. The answer that takes place at that time is Acts 2:41. Experience it. We are following exactly as God’s Word is being fulfilled. Until last year, it was the 237 nations; beginning last year and this year, it is the 5000 tribes, continuing as is. You must never lose hold of it. The Early Church experienced the upper room gatherings in their homes. Then, the regional groups were formed. Team ministry arose there. From there, mission homes were established. From there came the specialized ministries that revived their workplaces. From there arose the regional churches. Look at the Early Church.

3. Local area – The seventy (Acts 6:7)
What arose in the local area? Look carefully at what Jesus established—the seventy. In one sense, if Mt Olive was centered on the twelve apostles, this refers to the seventy. In Acts 6:7, even a great number of priests became obedient to the faith. You must look carefully at this. It is necessary to examine these things within the church.

4. Large parish – The regional church (Acts 11:19)
It did not end there. Observe this: Why did Jesus form groups of twelve and give them missions for forty days? If it was simply to explain the matters of God’s kingdom, one day would have been enough—why forty days? More importantly, Judas Iscariot had already left. That should have been sufficient, yet they replaced his position with Matthias. That is significant. You must open your eyes to the large parish. This can also be seen as the regional church. Biblically speaking, it is Acts 11:19. We must establish these while we are still alive. Every assistant pastor should adopt the large-parish system. Make sure every assistant pastor carries out ministry focusing on a large parish. Make it so that no one has to leave. Many leave because they are hungry or because they cannot afford to educate their children, or because they hope that by leaving they might find something better. As a result, 70% of Korean churches became non-self-supporting. The Catholic Church began to mock, calling it a “divided religion,” saying that Protestant churches keep splitting apart—small one-room churches. Of course, God surely works even in those churches, but fundamentally, we have lost our positions.

5. Global parish – Missions (Acts 13:1–5)
We must form global parishes—that is missions. We must understand what missions truly are. There are no missionaries as miserable as those from our country. They simply go out like this. Build the global parish.

I will speak more about this later, but think carefully. When you look in the Bible and at the countries that succeeded in missions, they did not send out missionaries in this way. Missionaries themselves did not go out to build something by their own effort. I once lived several years in Chojang-dong. Most of the people living there were in small one-room houses. Down the street stood a large mansion, and its gate would open automatically when the car exited—a remarkable thing in those days. When I asked whose house it was, I later found out it belonged to a missionary named Theodor Hard, who changed his name to “Ha Do-Rae” in Korean. But he did not build that house himself—the American denomination built it, fully prepared, and sent him out. When the time came, they called him back and sent another.

But what about our country? When a missionary sets up something abroad, that’s considered missions; when he returns home, it’s over. That is what we are doing wrong. The church and denomination must be in oneness and establish proper mission policies. Otherwise, missionaries only suffer, constantly worrying about money. There is another missionary who changed his name to “Shin Gil-Su” under the Kosin denomination. I visited his home—it’s a complete countryside villa. In the basement, there’s a school where his children and those of other missionaries study together, officially recognized by the U.S. government. They have developed that far—everything except the gospel. We must pay attention. Is there really no position for the church?

Conclusion: The beginning (Romans 16:25–27)
Your conclusion must always begin like this: what was hidden since before eternity is now revealed, what will last forever is now present. This hidden mystery—this must always be your beginning.

▣ Lecture 9: The Position Outside the Church (Acts 3:1–12)

Now, finally, turn your eyes outside the church. There was the man lame from birth, sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple—a beggar whom everyone knew. He was raised up—an amazing event took place.

Introduction: The absolute journey – The seven journeys (Where does the work take place?)
What is the introduction? Enjoy this through prayer—it is the absolute journey. This is called the seven journeys. Earlier it was about “when.” Now, this is about “where does the work take place?” That is what’s important—where does God work?

Main message
1. Places where people are bound to come
These are places people cannot help but come to. Where are they?

1) Acts 13:1–5
This is where the Holy Spirit completely worked. People had no choice but to come.
2) Acts 16:6–10
God opened the doors. God opened the way to Macedonia. That is where we must be.
3) Acts 19:21
To Rome—God could not help but work there.

2. Places where people cannot help but gather
Second, not where you gather them, but where people cannot help but gather. Do not miss this.

1) Acts 13:5–12
The forces of darkness and the sorcerer were broken down.
2) Acts 16:16–18
The demon-possessed woman was healed. You have this same authority—to cast out demons.
3) Acts 19:8–20
Acts 19:8–20—people could not help but come. Try it. It may seem slow, but it will happen globally. If you lead just three shamans to turn back, your life will change. Paul only went to three main places.

3. Places where the world cannot help but come
It does not end there. There are also places where the entire world cannot help but come. Where are they?

1) Acts 17:1
2) Acts 18:4
3) Acts 19:8
To save the age, God had prepared synagogues, and He sent Paul there. Synagogues where Paul met key figures of the age, synagogues he visited before heading to Rome—these are places the world could not help but come to.

Conclusion – Anywhere (Romans 16:25–27)
What must we make, then? The conclusion: wherever you are, do this (Romans 16:25–27). Begin like this (Romans 16:25–27), and wherever you are, do this (Romans 16:25–27). That is why we pray. Because I do not know, God will give what He has hidden when we go into the 5000 tribes. Therefore, with such spiritual eyes, everything is important to me. The multiethnic peoples are important; even when I look at people from our Reformed denomination, they are important—they will become doors.

▣ Lecture 10: The Positions of Evangelism and Missions Fields (Acts 27:24)

Moreover, there are tremendous positions in the fields of evangelism and missions. That is why God told Paul, “You must stand before Caesar” (Acts 27:24).

Introduction: The absolute goal – The seven guideposts (For what reason?)
This introduction has two aspects. What are they? God has an absolute goal. This is called the seven guideposts. But for what reason? That is also important. The “when” is important, the “where” is important—but for what reason does the covenant of Calvary come? That is the guidepost. For what reason is the mission of Mt Olive given?

Main message – Where do these tremendous works such as those of Antioch take place, and for what reason?

1. The memorial of 237 nations and 5000 tribes
First, include this in your prayers and continually pray for it. What God desires of you is simple. It is not just going to or coming from the 237 nations and 5000 tribes. It is to erect a memorial there. God will establish memorials among the 237 nations and 5000 tribes. The guideposts will surely work there. For example, a couple like Priscilla and Aquila. That is why I told Pastor Hwang in our church: when one member offered a large amount of money not for family but for the church, I said, “Name it the TCK Memorial Hall,” because many such people will arise. That is where works happen. Who are there?

1) TCK
2) CCK
3) NCK
So that the TCKs can come, to save the CCKs who are deep in darkness, and the NCKs who receive no benefit—God sends us to establish these memorials. Works are bound to occur.

2. Lifelong mission
Second, find what you must do for your lifetime. When it will be fulfilled—leave that to God. Pray correctly. What is the lifelong mission?

1) Protector, coworker, and host
In short: protector, coworker, and host. Nothing else. The protector of the evangelist—why? Because there will be times of danger. Coworkers and hosts are needed.
2) Secret alliance – RM
Next, it mentions a secret alliance, to which we add one more secret: Remnant Ministry—those who raise remnants.
3) Holy Mason
And what else? Holy Mason. This must be your lifelong prayer topic. It is not about when or whether you do it; it must be your lifelong prayer topic. When our remnants get employed or start businesses, they must begin from the very start. The amount is not the issue.

3. Sending church – Local church (Session of the global parish)
If we truly want to save the mission fields, look carefully at Acts 13, just like the Early Church. I believe this is how it must be done: the sending church and the local field church must share the session of the global parish. If this happens, the missionary will not need to ask, “Please do this for me.” Everyone will already know. Then the session of that side and this side will connect properly. There is no reason it would fail; in fact, it will work even better. To achieve world evangelization, the global parish must be established. Isn’t the church that has succeeded in this the Calvary Church in the United States? They are doing well. You must hold firmly to this covenant.

Conclusion – Always (Romans 16:25–27)
Then what is the conclusion? The conclusion is the same: always enjoy this mystery. At the beginning, enjoy this mystery. It is the conclusion Paul reached: wherever you are, this mystery (Romans 16:25–27). Always enjoy this mystery—it is a secret. A secret is not something everyone knows. Since it was given to you, it is not given to just anyone.

That is why the evangelists are gathered here. As you go, go as evangelists. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be upon the people of God who have held onto the covenant that will surely be fulfilled—from now until eternity—always. Amen.

Prayer Journal: October 14, 2025
23. Jul. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Message 2
Scripture Reading: Matthew 7:1-9, John 2:12-25, Acts 2:1-47

The second lecture moves to the Mark’s upper room, and what you should begin to pray for starting this year is: what is the greatest evangelism for evangelism? The greatest thing in evangelism and missions is the “sanctuary movement.”

So people say this: depending on what kind of shrine your village has, the culture changes. Kings who knew this stubbornly built shrines. They levied taxes to the point where the people pleaded in order to build the shrine. Those who said, from their own standpoint, “Let’s not build it,” may look like they governed well, but now there are no records of them. Where many idol shrines were built, tourists are now flocking. Therefore, in some sense, even if it is excessive, a sanctuary must be built. This year, please pray about it. Even in Yeongdo where there is no land, I have the prayer topic that a large sanctuary is needed, so that place would have taken over more than ten thousand pyeong of land. Right across from our church, the KT building is now on the market. It’s said to be 19 billion won; I said, buy it no matter what. That place is perfect for the three courtyards. So even though it looks difficult to us now, if God deems it absolutely necessary, it is not difficult.

You should refer to some Bible passages.
①In Matthew 17:1-9 Elijah, Moses, and Christ appeared. They still did not understand. Peter said he would build three tabernacles. Moses and Elijah cannot be the owners of the sanctuary. Also, ②Jesus once became angry at Herod’s temple (John 2:12-25). He saw the sanctuary that importantly. Therefore, ③the Mark’s upper room became the world sanctuary (Acts 2:1-47). So you must surely refer to three things. This is lecture 4. We need to take a look at the “tabernacle.” And lecture 5 needs to look at the “sanctuary.” We should view the church, but also form some thoughts about the “world church.”

▣ Lecture 5: The Tabernacle (Exodus 26:1)
The tabernacle appears in Exodus 26:1. There are things you must note here.

Introduction – Exodus 3:18, Exodus 5:1–12:46, the ark of the covenant, the ephod (12 tribes), 24 lamps (happiness/strength/rest)

1) Exodus 3:18
The greatest thing is to continue the blood sacrifice.

2) Exodus 5:1–12:46
As evidence, in Exodus 5:1–12:46 they came out of Egypt through the ten plagues. They came out on the very meaningful day the blood was applied. This must never be forgotten forever. It must never be forgotten at all times. Then you can go the wilderness road. The Early Church had the blood and the bread every day.

3) The ark of the covenant
And inside that tabernacle is the ark of the covenant. Its meaning is great.

4) The ephod (12 tribes)
More importantly, the priest wore the ephod 24 hours. This relates to us. On this ephod were recorded the names of the 12 tribes.

5) 24 lamps (happiness/strength/rest)
And there is a command given: light the lamps 24 hours. This is what the servants of the Lord must remember. It means they prayed 24 hours for all the people. The ark of the covenant is the chest that contains the evidence of the God of power. The Exodus event is tremendous. The first covenant is the blood covenant. With this, it is 24. The thing called 24 must be joyful. Then you are spiritually equipped. Saying, “I must pray,” is, simply put, for beginners. It must become automatic. Always, and it must be joyful. And there must be strength. Lighting the 24 lamps and praying must become rest. Nothing else can become rest. You must surely enjoy this, and the saints must enjoy it. If you only know this, tremendous things will occur. Now, then, let’s enter the main part.

Conclusion– The gate of the people
I will speak from the conclusion. All the people’s gates faced the tabernacle. The meaning is great. We must not miss this. Truly, all the believers’ direction of prayer must face the church. Such people will surely receive answers.

Main– Then what is inside it?

“`1. The laver
At the entrance when we go in, there is a laver. It is to wash hands. Spiritually the meaning is great. It is the beginning that purifies us and makes us clean.

2. The Holy Place
Then entering in, there is the Holy Place. This Holy Place is where the people pray.

3. The altar of incense
Going in, there is the altar of incense.

4. The lamps
There are also the lamps that are not extinguished 24 hours.

5. The table of the bread
There is the table of the bread there. The priests eat it.

6. The altar
And in front of it there is the altar. It would be the altar of many priests.

7. The Most Holy Place (the ark of the covenant)
Going further inside there is the Most Holy Place. Inside it is the ark of the covenant. Now, the perfect gospel has all appeared. Though this signifies Christ in the Old Testament era, the perfect answer has all appeared. Christ opened the doors of the Holy Place and the Most Holy Place.

“`Restoration of a life of prayer (Matthew 13:11-13)– Thus all the people, for forty years as they went on the road, opened their own gates facing the tabernacle that moved. They prayed three times a day. And their whole life went toward prayer for this. If this is not restored, nothing is restored. Only when the life of prayer is restored is everything restored. Whether difficulties come or not, whether ruin comes or not, regardless, it must be restored.

So when some confusion seems to arise, many believers seem to have their hearts shaken. If you quietly look at churches, people like that are those who would all gather as the ones who left on the day Joseph went to prison. It is the same as abandoning David when David briefly failed. There is so much of that in the Bible. Some things—truly valuable things—God gives through difficulties. Why? If He only gave good things, everyone would come; therefore, in a striking word Jesus spoke something important in Matthew 13:11-13. He said He speaks in parables so that some will understand, and He speaks in parables so that some will not understand. It is a very significant statement. There are many times when He speaks ambiguously so that some understand, and ambiguously so that some do not understand. So, as came out in yesterday’s sermon text, Paul said we do not judge people by the eyes of the flesh. In 2 Corinthians 5:16 he said that. We do not see with the eyes of the flesh; we must look upon souls for life.

▣ Lecture 6: The Sanctuary (John 2:12-25)

At this time your church begins to have a sanctuary stand, and this (John 2:12-15) is the scene of Herod’s temple.

Introduction– The world’s bartizan (Mason war)
The reason we must pray regarding the sanctuary is that the sanctuary is the world’s bartizan; it is extremely important. So we are fighting a Mason war. If you do not know this, it is a big problem. Of course, we can worship without a church building. However, the actual battle is not that. It is a Mason war. Such tremendous things are occurring.

Main– What is the reason?

1. Shrines– idols
The sanctuary must block the spiritual problems that come out of many idol shrines.

For example, in Gwangju, Gyeonggi-do there is Immanuel Seoul Church. If you go to the Gangseo area, there is Yewon Church. These have enormous influence. In Gangseo area, someone crashed into my car as I was going to exercise, to go to the ping-pong hall. Four people showed up. Four appeared and they were all from Yewon Church. I must have seen them usually, but they had not greeted me; then four appeared. Oh, it’s noisy. I went into the marketplace and there were completely two teams from Yewon Church. Over there they were playing my sermon, and over here they had Pastor Jung’s sermon on, not turned down but turned up loudly. Ah, they are seizing the culture; we must seize that culture. Invisibly, the darkness is massively broken. Because the gospel is light, you must know that you yourselves are light. Everything else is useless. Afterwards, after time has passed, one says, “Oh dear, why did I become like this? I lived in vain.”

2. History
Then we need to take a look at the history of Israel’s sanctuary.
1) 1 Chronicles 29:10-14
As you know, in 1 Chronicles 29:10-14 David made preparations and Solomon built it. Therefore it is called Solomon’s temple.
2) Haggai 2:1-10
In Haggai 2:1-10 someone like Haggai cried out. He spoke about the heavens and the earth and the sea being shaken, about liberation and the rebuilding of the sanctuary. The leader who built this was named Zerubbabel, and so the name is Zerubbabel’s temple; the intact former one was removed.
3) John 2:12-25
And now John 2:12-25—this is Herod’s temple. Herod did politics well, but he used his head. “If I am to gain popularity with the people and leave a footprint in history, then I must build a sanctuary; not just build it, but build it tremendously.” He built it over decades. So he maintained popularity for decades. So he removed that former temple and built this one. Jesus went to this sanctuary and took up a whip. It was completely destroyed.

3. Reason– No content
We know the reason, don’t we? It lacked the content God most required. That sanctuary naturally had to be removed.

Conclusion– The owner (主人)
What conclusion comes out here? It is very important. There are many churches that must be removed. But you must grasp and hold onto the church that God surely requires. So, truly, who is the owner of the church? According to this, it lives or dies.

For this Herod’s temple, Herod became the owner, and the priests there, such people, all became owners. Annas, Caiaphas—such people were the owners. The place for offering and inspecting sheep and animals was the courtyard of the Gentiles. Jesus overturned that. So who became extremely angry? Annas and Caiaphas. They were father-in-law and son-in-law. These people managed all the money that came into this place. Rome—the only thing it did not interfere with was the money that came into the sanctuary. So Jesus stayed at the Kidron Valley. As for how many lambs were slaughtered, it is said that the waters of the Kidron stream flowed with the blood of the lambs. Strangely, the place where Jesus was seized was also there. Whom did they first take Jesus to after arresting Him? They took Him to Annas and Caiaphas. Why? He had dared to rebuke them, looking straight at them. To put it simply: “You dared to touch me?” That is the meaning. “Therefore you will die.” It is recorded that Jesus said almost nothing. After time passed, look: that sanctuary disappeared. Those Jews wandered for two thousand years. If they do not realize it, they may wander in the future as well. Many prophesy that even when the last war ends, it will end in the Middle East.

▣ Lecture 7: The World Church (Acts 2:1-47)

At this time you must make this church. You must pray in earnest.
1) Saints– church
Of course, we are different from them. The saints are the church.
2) Field– church
For us, the field is also the church.
3) Church building– church
Strictly speaking, the church building is also the church. It has such great meaning. So though we are the sanctuary, our gathering is also the church. However, to truly do world evangelization, the church building we have made is also the church.

Main– Now, then, how should we do it at this time? You must surely do three things.

1. The working of the Holy Spirit/mission/experience/Sunday/daily/fixed times/24+25+eternity
The message Jesus gave last—the working of the Holy Spirit; the mission Jesus gave at Mt Olive; holding onto that covenant, the experience they had in the Mark’s upper room; among this, “devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching”—this is Sunday worship. And then what? “Day by day in the temple, day by day from house to house”—so it comes out. Here something important appears. Among those who had a sure mission to conquer the world, prayer began. Fixed times; and from this time comes 24/25/eternity. This is the timetable.

2. The three-day weekend age (healing)
With this, what must we do? We must focus and open the three-day weekend age in which we heal. We must begin full-scale healing. That is the greatest thing. We must not send TCKs without healing them.
Right now, the politicians of Vanuatu are not going. They are physically ill and are in treatment. I believe God has held them. Their attitude is completely different now. Before, whenever they appeared, they showed up like politicians. Now when we go, they sit still and listen to the Word. I went on purpose to greet them and shake hands. That small thing can penetrate those fourteen islands in the future. As a result, not only was disease healed; the whole was healed. Do not miss this. In the three-day weekend age, comprehensive healing must occur. Ideological healing must all occur. You can do it. You only lack assurance. The believers notice that lack of assurance. That’s why.
Can’t you do healing? Then you cannot do ministry. “If there are doctors and hospitals, won’t that do?” No. What a doctor can do is only visible treatment. You must do the prior thing, and you must do the after thing. Right? Doctors know only the physical. Well then, what about the spiritual, the demon-possessed, mental illness—what will you do? You must never miss this. Today you must engrave this in your heart. If it is engraved in the heart, it will be edited. Then the Word will appear. That is called a platform. Right? If it becomes so, you will see the direction by which you can save people. You will shine the light. Then they come seeing that light. That is called a watchtower—no, per instruction, bartizan. And when they come, an enormous spiritual communication occurs. An antenna that communicates more than a mobile phone is set up. That is what this means. You must do this. This is the true church.

3. The three courtyards
The three courtyards—if these three are absent, it is decidedly not a church. The church is the place where, when we worship, the Triune God works by the Holy Spirit. The church is the place where we hold to the mission by the power of the throne. The church is the place where we experience God’s power. The church is the place where, receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we succeed in worship that can see the future. With that grace received, the work happens in the field day by day. At last, fixed-time prayer begins by which we can restore all our things. Then the answer emerges as 24/25/eternity. It is certain. Only when this becomes so does the three-day weekend age open.
Pastors, pastor’s wives, and ministers here—there is nothing to boast of, and nothing to be discouraged about. You have the authority to heal. If only the editing/plan/design are set, pastors can give answers even with just counseling. Right? With one counseling, you give the answer. Why not do it? Again in Seoul, as the counseling time did not fit well, there were people who earnestly sought to come. I met one briefly—what was it? His wife had cancer. It is the same question as in Busan. In Busan, I found that a deaconess had cancer, and so chemotherapy was very hard. Since it must be done, it is simple. Tell the doctor you will take two or three months’ rest. And then in earnest do this and this. In Busan, it has been over three years since that person counseled with me. She is now healthy and sitting in the choir. The one in Immanuel Seoul—I spoke to him a few months ago. Living or dying is not the issue. We must fight within God’s power. Right? If God calls, then we go; that is not the issue. Then the sick all over the world, the remnants—then the Gentiles are all collapsed; we must have the three courtyards.

Conclusion– The field
Then what conclusion comes? I will address it in a later lecture, but because the Early Church could not immediately build a sanctuary, a person named Paul appeared and did all of this in the field. At this level, he can be called an evangelist, and at this level, a missionary. Where did Paul do the three courtyards? He did them all in the field. And where did he perfectly receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit? He did it all in the field. In this three-day weekend age, there is healing, but also the complete receiving of God’s guidance.
You need not worry about anything. Enter into this. God said to entrust everything to Him. Cast your anxieties upon God— in English it says simply to throw them. And your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion seeking someone to devour; “prowls around” in our expression is like going on a grand visitation. He looks around to see whether there is anyone to be anxious. He seeks to swallow. Can Satan swallow us? He cannot. In Ephesians 4:27 he can get a foothold.

Therefore you must surely teach the believers this: on Sunday, when worshiping all day, while work is important, you must receive complete grace. Right? A Remnant conference opens—every worker must remember this. While you work, you must receive complete grace. One who has not done this must not work. It is a loss. Those who work in the church must receive complete grace as they work. There is a conference—this is a special time, right? You must receive special grace. Right? You must pray with responsibility. All such people received answers. “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me,” because there is no chance later and no one but Jesus can do it. People all said it was noisy. Jesus walked right up to him. “What do you want Me to do for you?” “I want to see.” “Be it done to you according to your faith.” Christ, who is God, said, “Be it done to you according to your faith.” That settles it. Therefore, conferences are always important, and worship is important. The rest—what individuals do—we habituate; but the works all occur on Sunday, during worship. Above all, pastors do not know this well. “Ah, will works occur even if someone like me preaches?” You say this out of humility, but no. Therefore you can heal all people. You must begin with this assurance. So, those whose vessels are not ready exist everywhere, but they have unbelief. People like this—when it works, they also overdo it: “I did such-and-such.” Absolutely not—I did nothing. “In My name they will cast out demons,” Jesus said. “They will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Truly, because I experienced this as soon as I went to Yeongdo, I have testified several times. On a Wednesday morning I went and a perfectly fine young woman was demon-possessed. There was no communication. She talked to herself. She could not worship. She babbled to herself. I held her, led her in prayer to accept, and prayed. She vaguely followed and then said other things. My strength subtly waned. “Even when I pray there is no response,” I thought. Then I remembered something—truly. In that short time, I had surely prayed in the name of Jesus Christ, right? I did not pray in my name; I prayed and commanded in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, King of kings. The rest is what God does. Soon after a call came. I thought she would say she was healed and quickly picked up the phone. “This won’t work; she is trying to set the house on fire.” At that time I had assurance. I unknowingly said, “Wait.” If there is a fire, then you put out the fire. That night a work occurred. The demon-possessed one spoke with the demon’s voice, they say. Saying exactly, “Why do you torment me? I absolutely cannot stay in this house.” Exactly—so it left. Her mind became perfectly restored. Then, among the things I experienced many times: when such a disease has just come, the effect is quick and precise. Right? Therefore we do 24. So among the things I have experienced up to now, although it has been only a few days, for such people the work almost always occurs immediately. If it has been decades, it has already taken root; then we must use a different strategy.
May today become yet another best time for you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let’s rest about ten minutes, and then I will give three more lectures.

▣ Lecture 1: The Repentance Movement and Christ (Matthew 16:14)

Introduction
Out in the global field right now there are many who are sick and thirsty.
The three organizations are booming tremendously by exploiting this. And yet, if you look at America, churches are decreasing. What will happen if this continues? What should we be doing 24 about? Churches are losing because they are doing 24 on something else. What on earth is the problem? There are a few elements in places where churches grow greatly, right? We must do a ministry that gives life. Only those made alive can go on living; you cannot live where things are dying. And whatever anyone says, the Word must work in the church. If these two do not happen, it is already not happening. Then third, an evangelism movement must arise. And many people must come to church and be healed. Cutting out all these things—how badly are American churches failing? Now, after finishing their pastorates, they almost hand the churches over to others. Simply put, they failed to raise associate ministers. Strictly speaking, there is no one to serve as associate ministers. Such an urgent situation has come.

Then when was the timetable when Jesus spoke at Caesarea Philippi? It was after He completed three years of public ministry, with only the cross remaining. So He asked. They mostly gave wrong answers. So when Jesus heard Peter’s confession at that time, didn’t He immediately speak right afterward? He said He would bear the cross. And the very Peter who had just made the confession said, “That shall never happen to You.” It is at about that level. So shocked was Jesus that He said, “Get behind Me, Satan!” Perhaps this is the reality of our churches now. Thus, when He spoke at Caesarea Philippi, there was one extremely important point, right? It means they did not really understand what Jesus had been saying for three years. They hardly understood. Hence all sorts of things came out. During the three years of messages, Jesus told them to throw everything away and said one thing. The Holy Spirit, right? He said just one thing.
And He emphasized this also at the final pulpit.
Then there are a few points we need to look at.
This is Lecture 1 in brief. They said He was like John the Baptist. The repentance movement and Christ—if you do not make this clear for people, it will not do.
All of it comes out of Matthew 16:14.

Extreme Eschatologists (Sense of Guilt)
Repentance is, of course, something we must do, but what do we need to look at in the introduction? That extreme eschatologists keep appearing.
John the Baptist can be seen as relating to the future, but he is closer to this side (extreme eschatology).

Main—Because it was needed in each era.

1. Needed in every era
He did what was needed in each era.
1) Matthew 11:11
About John the Baptist, Jesus said, “Among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than” him, right? He was different from ordinary people.
2) The wilderness
He was one who cried out in the wilderness.
3) Sin
He rebuked the king’s sin and died. That is tremendous. But the question Jesus asked was not about that now.

2. The essence
What is the real essence?
1) Jesus—the Christ
2) Jesus—Lord
3) Jesus—Savior
The real essence is that Jesus is the Christ, Jesus is our Lord, Jesus is the Savior—this is what He was emphasizing now.

Of course we must repent of what we did wrong; we are not saying to neglect this. Thus, in every era they appear. In the case of extreme eschatologists—John the Baptist being a representative, big example—when you look closely, while claiming extreme eschatology they also insist that we must repent. They push this (extreme eschatology) so strongly—stronger than the Gospel—that they trap everyone in a sense of guilt. Bound by guilt, they can do nothing. If one thinks that is repentance, it is a huge mistake. Right? Before God, we are to live a life of becoming Christlike, following God’s Word—not to be seized by a sense of guilt every day; God did not teach us that way. In the past in Korea, when you saw older people praying and singing hymns, they would frown and weep loudly—then they considered that they had received grace. So bound were they that even on a picnic they sang “I Need Thee Every Hour,” and wept. Weeping does not accomplish it. There is a hymn “Even if I weep, I cannot.” It must be Christ.

As this part weakens, strangely the doors of churches around the world begin to close. Churches must have invisible power—the power that gives life. If pastors’ sermons lean toward this side, you will die. Right? We are not saying, “Do not do this (sense of guilt).” What is God’s purpose? If your child does something wrong and lives every day like this (in guilt), is that the parent’s purpose? You should help them realize it quickly, come out of it, and go rightly.

3. Life
Thus, for churches worldwide—our life is clearly important.
1) Justification
We are not saved by repenting. Right? God saved us—by grace; therefore, out of thanksgiving, we live a life of sanctification. Not out of fear of someone. Out of thanksgiving—naturally. Do you give offerings to church because you are afraid? You do it out of thanksgiving. Do you do it to receive blessings? No. You do it out of thanksgiving. If we do not teach this, it will be a big problem. In the past, it was often said in church that giving much offering brings blessing—that is true. But is that why we give? No, right? Even if we were to give all our property and our bodies, and yet we have not, we feel sorry and give out of thanksgiving.
2) Sanctification
The key of sanctification is to be evangelized by the Gospel.
3) Glorification
Eternal sanctification will continue.
This is our life. You may fully understand this, but where we place the emphasis is important. When it says, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you,” on which word should the emphasis be? For some, the emphasis is on “only”; for others, on “Holy Spirit”; for others, on “witnesses.” It can differ from person to person. This creates differences in your church movements and many other things. If your church is not doing well and keeps struggling, it is because something lacks the power that gives life. When church members hear the pastor’s sermon, they must come alive. Right? If they hear the sermon and their hearts die, there is no crime like that. We must remember this. So they said He was like John the Baptist; Jesus did not say, “That’s right.” Because they had deviated from the very fundamental movement of the church, the Gospel, and what God desires—such words came out. And they will keep coming out.

Conclusion: 237–5000 people groups (Sin)
Then what is our conclusion? In the 237 nations and among the 5000 people groups, they are all trapped in sin without even knowing it. Almost all of them. What they most need is to be rescued by giving them the Gospel. When we started evangelism in Yeongdo, there were a few places where the evangelism movement arose greatly, and what kind of house were they? That is not something anyone can do. You need power.

He was a boss who supplied makgeolli and liquor throughout Yeongdo. When we went to hold a service and arrived at the house, the smell of liquor was strong. When this person came to understand the Gospel, would he not have thoughts rise in his heart? He asked me, “What should I do about this (liquor business)?” I did not talk about this (sense of guilt). I might have resolved it quickly by talking about this (guilt), but I did not. I spoke to him about this (life). God will surely give you a way to resolve this; I am not telling you to sell liquor forever. In less than a year he shut it down; then he had nothing to do, right? He became a bus driver in that neighborhood. That household did the Gospel movement very much.

Thus God—indeed the 237–5000 people groups—are all trapped in that. Then in Japan, when you go, you see most churches are small, but the Full Gospel Church was big when I went. Of course, in the long term, it may differ, but at that moment the Full Gospel was large. Now, the women suffering in bars and such who moved from Korea to Japan—there are many, right? These people do not go to that church. Where do they all go? They go to where they do this (philanthropy). What do you think? If that is a global phenomenon, what do you think? That is why we resolved to do the evangelism movement. In order to rescue them, we must not start with talking about that; we must first bring the Gospel. As such things kept happening, we kept emphasizing evangelism. Now, in churches worldwide, the evangelism movement has all but stopped. It is a big problem. In a sense, even this life is what God gives. The 237–5000 people groups around the world do not even know what this is. They have no idea what original sin is, what personal sins are, what the sin of idol worship is—no idea at all. We must basically let them know the Gospel. (The end)

▣ Lecture 2: Three Years—The Holy Spirit (Power of the Word) → The Mystical Movement and Christ

The second key for your church to come alive is your pulpit. Right? Not the building. If, by hearing your sermon, members obtain answers and receive healing, they will come alive. It is the power of the Word. What came out here? They say He was like John the Baptist—this is Lecture 2. If you truly want to revive the church, you must do this. The mystical movement and Christ—all of it appears in Matthew 16:14.

Introduction: Mystical Movement—Mysticism (Unhealthy Mysticism—Living in Delusion)
In every era there has been a mystical movement. Right? Here is the fact you must remember: God’s power is mysterious, is it not? But that does not mean we move into mysticism. If we emphasize that, it becomes an -ism. So if we teach this wrongly, people will die trapped in guilt. If we teach it wrongly, they must live their entire lives in delusion. Though there is God’s Word, they live in delusion. Some people look very faithful and say, “Apart from God’s Word, I fear nothing.” That sounds good, but it is what those who are the least receptive say. Right? After doing whatever they want, they say, “As long as God knows.” True, in one sense that means they do not care about people, and it may look like good faith, but in some respects there is no greater delusion. And then, in every era, even this came out—very unhealthy mysticism. It arises like this.

Main Message

1. Elijah
Who is the representative figure here? In fact, what answer did Elijah carry?
1) 1 Kings 18:1–15
In 1 Kings 18:1–15 he raised figures like Obadiah and raised prophets—he was a tremendous figure.
2) 1 Kings 18:16–46
In 1 Kings 18:16–46, at Mount Carmel, which you well know, he won a tremendous spiritual battle.
3) 1 Kings 19:1–21
In 1 Kings 19:1–21, at Horeb, he heard God’s tremendous voice, and there were works that blocked disasters. Such power belongs to God! Yet, even so, you cannot place this before Christ. And these mystical powers cannot be placed before the Word. Therefore, pastors are here too, and you all must go out and give messages, must you not? The Word must come alive. Whatever anyone says, only if the Word comes alive at the pulpit will the church members come alive. Then you must receive the power to live by the Word. This year we began with the 5000 people groups—how many doors are opening now? The Word must live and move.

2. The essence—Watchmen
What essence did Jesus speak of? In itself: You are watchmen!
1) Bartizan
Therefore, you build bartizans.
2) Journey
With these bartizans you must be made to go on the journey.
3) Guidepost
It is about eras and regions. You must pray to erect guideposts that will give life to these. You go carrying this.

3. The seven timetables
More important is the seven timetables. What are they?
1) Three years of public ministry
As Jesus concluded His public ministry of three years, He said, “It is for your good that I am going to the Father; now it is good because I am with you, but the Helper, the Holy Spirit, will work upon all; that power will conquer the world.” That is the first timetable.
2) Mt Olive
What then? He called them to Mt Olive and gave them the mission. Wherever you are, you must hold to the mission. Right? It shows. There are many who have worked a long time in church and then fall into trials. Right? Many received tremendous blessings. They failed to hold to 1–2. They failed to hold to the mission. Right? If you truly work in the church, you ought to receive tremendous grace. Right? Otherwise, that is foolishness. They miss everything. Many who worked at headquarters fell into trials and left. It is because they failed to hold to the mission. Now here we have RTS, RU, and our various parts, do we not? They are extremely important. If you, here, do not receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and fail to find the mission, you become a failure. Right? You must truly come to your senses and receive grace. Why do they miss it? I went as an associate and they made me a pastoral intern and the church paid me a salary. How could I miss this opportunity? Right? Where else is such a good opportunity? The church made a good-for-nothing like me, who had no ability, a pastoral intern. Did I create it? They told me to run the Sunday School they had set up—if I could not do that, I would be a fool. So I truly prayed and did my best. I simply did my best and was so thankful. Do not miss it. The second timetable is the mission of Mt Olive, is it not?
3) The Mark’s upper room
What is the third timetable? The Mark’s upper room, is it not?
4) Worship
What then is the timetable? Worship, is it not? Right?
5) Daily
What is the next timetable? Daily, is it not?
6) Fixed times
What then is the timetable? The fixed times, is it not?
7) 24/25/Eternity
Then 24/25/eternity.
You must experience it. You must experience the Word. Today you only need to hold to the covenant. “Ah, in our church, is the Word bringing works? God, give me Your Word!” You only need to pray this. Right? Long ago, I always asked three questions: “Why is the church poor?” It was poor. “Why are we so unable to evangelize? Why are there so many sick?” “God, give me the strength to do that errand!” Would not works arise just by doing even that?

Conclusion: Beginning/Process/Conclusion
What conclusion comes here? You must remember this: begin everything with the Word. When the Word works, then move. In every process, go where the Word is fulfilled. Conclude everything also with the Word. The Word is living and active; to Timothy it was said the Word is perfect. In John 1 it says the Word is God; God created the heavens and the earth by the Word; it can divide soul and marrow—yes. I believe even cancer can be healed by the power of the Word. Why? Because it says it divides soul and marrow. You must hold to today’s lecture and do this. How frustrated must Jesus have been to say this? “Tell no one.” That means, do not speak of it yet.

▣ Lecture 3: Evangelism Movement—Power of Prayer → Philanthropy and Christ

The third is the invisible power in the church. Church revival requires that the evangelism movement arise. We might say, “We raise the evangelism movement,” but that is said from our standpoint; what must happen is that the evangelism movement arises. They say He was like Jeremiah—philanthropy and Christ. In every era there has been a philanthropic movement.

Introduction—Philanthropy (A movement of loving people)
What is philanthropy? It is a movement of loving people. Good. But if we are not careful, it can break the oneness of the Gospel.
It feels a bit awkward to say this of someone deceased, but he is so worthy of respect. He was a famous doctor in Korea. Who was it? In fact, he was the first person in Korea to create medical insurance. As an individual—since the nation could not understand—he created Red Cross medical insurance himself. Who is he? Dr. Jang Gi-ryeo. Because he was in Busan, we know him well; he also treated my mother a lot, so we know him well. He was a great person, and he held separate Bible studies in church. You know his thought, right? It is not bad. It is this (philanthropy). He had philanthropic thought. Something of the balance within the church was off. It would be normal for members to be moved by the pastor’s pulpit sermon, but his lectures were much better than the pastor’s sermon. I went and listened once, and I did not think so. The most important thing in church is worship. The most important thing is God’s Word. Right? Whatever good thing there may be, it cannot precede the Word. However remarkable, it cannot precede Christ. If your ideology precedes Christ, you are not a Christian. Right? The movement of loving people—it is not a bad thing!

Main Message

1. Jeremiah
You know Jeremiah, do you not? What is his nickname? The weeping prophet, is it not? Yes.
1) Jeremiah 33:1–9
In Jeremiah 33:1–9, you can see how much Jeremiah was a man of prayer.
2) Lamentations 4:1–5
In Lamentations 4:1–5, you see how earnestly he prayed in tears. That is not to say it is bad.

2. The essence
But the essence of faith that Jesus spoke of now is not that.
1) Confession of faith—The rock
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—upon this confession He said, “You are Peter [rock].” We must not lose this.
2) My church
“I will build My church”—upon that confession—“and I will give you the keys…”
3) Authority
And, “The gates of Hades will not overcome you!”

3. The five foundations
In your church there must surely arise the movement of five foundations. Of the twenty strategies, fifteen are systems. What are the five foundations? In every church, the Darakbang movement must arise. Restore it. Every believer’s home must be a mission home. All our meetings must be Gospel team ministry. Do you not do other team ministries? Instead of other team ministries, if you do Gospel team ministry only for three years, that person will be completely changed. From what I see, people do not do Gospel team ministry. They start with Gospel team ministry and then end up with people-team ministry. At first they speak of the Gospel; later, they wrap up with wrong things and misunderstandings in team ministry. At first they talk about Christ; later, they return talking about others. I have seen many such workers. They do not receive answers. We must do only Gospel team ministry. Only then will that person change. Yet people miss all this. Your workplace must become a professional church. In the seventy regions where you are, regional churches must arise. We must do this. The remaining fifteen are systems!

When such movements arise in the church, it will come alive. It is not that we tell them to do evangelism; the works of “being done” arise. That is important. Just do three things. Give messages that give life. By the Word, make them gain strength; and in practice, have them gain the power of this prayer—it was said to “wait.” Then you will receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and be witnesses to the ends of the earth.

Conclusion: A camp festival where destinies change
What is the conclusion here? Why were we told to pray? We cannot do world evangelization by our own power. Only by the Holy Spirit—by that immense, invisible power. Therefore the conclusion of these five is that destinies must be reversed. If destinies have not changed—when an individual’s destiny changes, the evangelism movement continues to arise. There are many churches now that are growing, representative churches—you know many, right? Such churches can be left alone and they will be fine. Therefore, on Friday all-nights and on Wednesday services, a camp festival should occur. Do it during the three-day weekend age. Pastors must surely do camp festivals. Ninety-nine percent live hearing unbelief-talk. If this one percent does the camp festival, that becomes light.

We must remember this. If the one percent speaks the Word that receives answers, they will save the ninety-nine percent. People are forced to do church life and are all dying—so to speak. That should not be so. I must truly gain strength at church. You must do this. This is extremely important. As for the invisible revival of the church—though there are many blessings—what must occur? Many people must gain the power of healing. Without this, it will not do. So, as they keep listening to the pastor’s sermons, I must keep receiving healing. That is normal. Otherwise, why come to church every week? Having been saved, if you come to church and pray, you should continuously receive answers to prayer. That is normal. We must quickly come out of what is not normal. We must see that the Word continues to be fulfilled. We must make this invisible.

Lecture 4: Healing Power → Legalism and Christ

This is Lecture 4. Legalism and Christ.

Introduction—Law/Legalism
We must make this clear. The Law is necessary. Legalism is not necessary. The Law is God’s Word that makes us realize the Gospel. The Law is within God’s Word. It makes us realize the Gospel; it makes us know that we are sinners. But legalism is not necessary. What is an -ism? It is to emphasize this. The Law is to make us realize—it is like going home: you need a road to go, do you not? When you first go, you need a map; but would you carry the map every day?

Main Message

1. Disaster
Legalism brings disaster. Study legalism. I will give just a few proofs.
1) The Jews
The Jews. No people have received disaster like the Jews. Why? God gave them the Gospel, but they hid that and did something else. And when someone of the Gospel appears, they label them a heretic. That is astounding. Because there are a few with the Gospel—one or two—among them, they must be sent as slaves and captives. Only the Gospel can shine light and remove global disasters, but since they will not go, they must be scattered as wanderers. In their midst are those who have the Gospel.
2) Muslims
Jews without the Gospel and Muslims without the Gospel are the same. Right? The same. What is the difference between Muslims and Jews? Muslims also say they believe in God; it is that the way is different. These people have tremendous regulations. They will perish.
3) Roman Catholicism
Frankly, though it may offend, the nations that embraced Roman Catholicism all perished. North America, where the Gospel entered, moves the world; South America, where Roman Catholicism entered, became a global beggar. It is clear. Who made the Philippines like that? Roman Catholicism made it like that. Who made European churches close their doors? Roman Catholicism did that. Roman Catholicism must repent. They keep exalting Mary, do they not? That is wrong. We must exalt God; we must exalt Christ. Pretending otherwise, they exalt Mary. They have received a very strange spirit. Now the whole world is covered in darkness. There is no Gospel. Today, I hope this will be the time for you to hold to the covenant.

2. Era—Message
The Law is only the message for an era.

3. Eternity
But the Gospel is eternal. We must make them know this. What is the Gospel?
1) Healing the 237
It is to heal the 237 nations. They must be healed. Their ideologies must be healed, their thoughts must be healed, their culture must be healed, and their diseases must be healed.
2) Healing the 5000 people groups
We must heal the 5000 people groups. We must heal them through the holy meditation movement. There must be God’s plan. In Vanuatu right now, God is continuously holding on to important people. At last, these people have entered healing ministry. For the 5000 people groups, this is absolutely necessary.
3) TCK, CCK, NCK
Especially look: TCK—posterity in third-culture contexts; CCK—posterity dying in entirely different culture zones like North Korea; and those dying where there is no culture zone at all; they must be healed. Thus, Caesarea Philippi is extremely important. Later, in the second session, we must look at what happened in the Mark’s upper room.

Conclusion
This is the conclusion. Though there are many things, Jesus spoke this way. He explained the method.
1) Only (Uniqueness, Re-creation)
He said, “Only.” This is the method. “Only”—in fact, it is the same word, and what follows it is “Uniqueness” and “Re-creation.” These, in fact, follow. Jesus spoke this directly.
2) Waiting
Only, waiting, challenge…
3) Challenge—to the ends of the earth
How do we challenge? “To the ends of the earth,” Jesus said so. Do “Only,” and it will be done.
Therefore, today also, in fact, since we are here all day until the afternoon, do not pray for other things; begin the full-fledged prayer for the church to come alive. At this time, what do people miss? During Sunday worship, when you hold to God’s Word and pray, “Believe that you have received it already!” Right? Through the pastor’s sermon you hear God’s Word—“Believe that you have received it!” The moment Joseph held to the covenant, he received it. Right? The moment Moses received the command at Horeb, he received it. We must believe this. The moment David was anointed, he had already received it. The same. “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” We will pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let this be a day wholly of prayer. Let it be a time of healing. Let it be a time of power. Let it be a time when the darkness is broken. Let Your kingdom come in every place. Let only the Gospel be testified. Let the healing movement arise. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
