Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown.

Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring:
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight,
And all the twinkling, starry host:
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heav’n can boast.

Beautiful Saviour! Lord of the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forevermore be thine.

Scripture Reading
Acts 6:1-7

In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Hellenistic Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. ²So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. ³Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them ⁴and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”

⁵This proposal pleased the whole group. They chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit; also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. ⁶They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them.

⁷So the word of God spread. The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.

Message
Disciples Who See Problems as Blessings
^{Pastor Ryu Kwang Su}
_{Full Transcript}

Make every problem into a blessing. God has never once failed to turn problems into blessings.

Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation — 300%
Because we are the people of God who have been saved, there is a reason God has sent us. We must find what we absolutely must do. When something is entrusted to us, we must bring it to life. The secret of revival is found when we discover “only.” Then comes the answer of uniqueness that others recognize, and then comes re-creation. For the part entrusted to me, I must prepare 300%. Then many works will arise.

I found this easily. I asked, “How can children listen to the Word?” and I discovered Darakbang. When I was entrusted with middle and high school students, the only way was to go to the schools—I discovered team ministry. That was uniqueness. Then re-creation came. The 5000 tribes.

7∙7∙7 Prayer enjoying power, healing, summit
We must pray enjoying the 7∙7∙7 that Christ has given us as our background. From this, power appears, fundamental healing takes place, spiritual problems disappear, and we become the summit. At this time, every problem, every incident, every crisis becomes a blessing.

▣ Introduction: Eyes that see blessings
1. Remnant 7 – Going as a slave was the way to Egypt; going to prison was the way to promotion. David, who suffered greatly, was always thankful. Not a single thing failed to become a blessing.
2. Hebrews 11:38 – It looked like they were suffering, but they were not deceived by the world.
3. Paul – He suffered the most, yet wrote the most about Christ and thanksgiving.

▣ Main: Church leaders appointed in the age of crisis (Acts 6:1-7)
1. Agitation – Powerful people who could change the age incited others that the Early Church was a heresy, but God gave the answers that changed the age.
1) Extreme executions
2) Legal decrees – “Do not preach the gospel. Do not speak of the resurrection of Jesus or of Christ. Do not call Jesus Lord.”
3) Persecution from religious people
4) Persecution from merchants
5) Persecution from Rome
▷ Yet the gospel was never blocked, and the Word never stopped. It changed the age and conquered Rome.

2. Atmosphere of threats – True disciples arose.
1) Acts 11:19-30 – The Antioch Church was born.
2) Acts 12:1-25 – Church leaders became one and prayed together, and God called King Herod away.
3) Acts 13:1 – Paul was commissioned as a missionary.

3. Those being pursued – God entrusted them with the future and world evangelization.
1) The remnants – They looked like those abandoned, but they were the remaining ones. They looked like those who were chased away, but they were the scattered ones. They did not run away, they were sent. Through them, world evangelization arose.
2) Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:21 – The Holy Spirit completely guided them, opening doors to Macedonia and Rome.
3) The diaspora (after A.D. 70) – The remnants were used to take the gospel to the whole world.
▷ Be thankful and entrust everything to God. God is the One who blesses (Luke 15). He knows your weaknesses and has promised the filling of the Holy Spirit.

▣ Conclusion: Do not be deceived
1. Reality (selfishness) – It is explained only for one’s self.
2. Fact (atmosphere) – It refers to the prevailing atmosphere.
3. Truth (frame) – The frame refers to what has already been set.
4. Spiritual fact (disaster) – We must save them so they will not be struck by disaster.
5. God’s plan (salvation) – It is to bring them to salvation.

▷ Come to the answer quickly. Every problem, incident, and opportunity is a blessing. This is the power of the gospel.

Forum & Prayer

Hold onto the Covenant of the Future

Acts 1:10-11. They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. ¹¹“Men of Galilee,” they said, “why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven.”

If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, you can live with absolute assurance that everything has already been finished. There is no reason to live in fear or anxiety. You will no longer wander aimlessly, for the Word lights your path and directs your steps. You will press on toward the goal for which Christ Jesus took hold of you (Philippians 3:12). You will gladly surrender everything for the sake of the gospel (Acts 20:24).

This was the secret of the men of Galilee. By holding firmly to the covenant of Christ (Acts 1:1), the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3), and the promised Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8), they were transformed from ordinary men into extraordinary witnesses. On the day of Pentecost, the Spirit of God came like wind and fire (Acts 2:1–5), and through them, the gospel eventually reached Rome (Romans 16).

The same covenant of world evangelization that was given to the early disciples has now been entrusted to you. This is not a distant promise but a living reality written into your life. Jesus declared, “This gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come” (Matthew 24:14). The covenant will be fulfilled exactly as He promised. No power of darkness, no scheme of the enemy, and no weakness of man can stop it. Until the day He returns, your life has been set apart to carry this covenant forward—to shine the light of Christ to the nations and to stand as a witness of the One who loved you and died for you.

On that day, as Jesus Himself foretold, “the Son of Man will come on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory” (Matthew 24:30). And as Paul wrote, “God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord” (Philippians 2:9–11). Even the nations that rage against God, the rulers who conspire in vain, and the powers that resist Him will all be brought under His authority (Psalm 2:1–2).

Until then, Jesus has already warned us about the condition of the world: “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars… Nation will rise against nation… There will be famines and earthquakes… All these are the beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:6–8). Yet you need not be alarmed. You are a child of the King. His eyes, like blazing fire, are upon you. He is leading you to the ends of the earth to bear witness to the gospel (Acts 1:8).

Do not fear people or the world. The risen Lord Jesus—ascended and seated at the right hand of the Father—is working with you even now, confirming His Word through the Holy Spirit (Mark 16:19-20). The gospel that Jesus is the Christ will be proclaimed to every nation before He comes again.

So don’t remain trapped in fear or weighed down by the circumstances of the present moment. Fix your eyes on the throne of God and approach Him with faith, asking for a double portion of heavenly power and thronely authority for world evangelization. Step forward with courage. Walk in assurance. Move with strength, carrying the gospel wherever you go.

The Triune God will be your bartizan, walking with you on your covenant journey and establishing guideposts of light throughout the world.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, thank You for watching over me with eyes like blazing fire. Help me to hold onto the covenant of the future until the day You return. Use my life as Your instrument to proclaim the gospel to the nations. In Your mighty name, Amen.

When Abraham Met Melchizedek

Prayer Journal: October 1, 2025
05. Jan. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 14:17-24

You must remember the New Year’s message well for the entire year.
Because it is the answer you will receive. In the midst of darkness, He said, “Let there be light.” Let us restore the temple of light that has the three courtyards. Then the prayer of the remaining ones of 24, 25, and eternity will begin. In the course of your life you must surely restore the economy of light. This is the pilgrim’s prayer. And you must set up the guideposts of light. At that time true revival will arise. This is the prayer of creation.

Within this, today Abraham met Melchizedek. We should see this as the answer you will receive during the week. To those who have the gospel, God first promised five things.

▣ Introduction
He gave them to Abraham, saying, “Go to the land I will show you.”

1. The covenantal blessing
That means He first gave the blessing of the covenant. Therefore, for you, holding the covenant accurately is the most important thing in the life of faith.

2. The foundational blessing
“You shall be a source of blessing.” Only then can world missions be done. He promised this to you. He also spoke the reason you must be blessed: “Through you.”

3. The representative blessing
Only when you receive answers can others see the answers. Therefore, the representative blessing.

4. The monumental blessing
“Through your seed.” It is a monumental blessing. He promised like this: “No one will be able to stand against you. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.”

5. The irresistible blessing
No one can block it. It is an irresistible blessing.

This is the promise given to you. Why? Because God gave it to Abraham. Unchangingly, it is fulfilled in you as it is.

▣ Main
Now then, what did Abraham lose and then find? It already came up in the first service. There is something truly important that you must not lose here. God has a special plan the likes of which has never been before and will never be again for you. He has it. Many people are mistaken because they do not know this. They say many things like, “That person is such-and-such. Useless.” That is being deceived. Even if it seems very difficult, God has a plan for each one of you. And it is a plan the likes of which has never been before and will never be again. Some people do well as they go, and some people do it even though they do not do well; people are of many kinds. But clearly, as long as you live, it exists.

Because he did not know this, Abraham kept suffering in the first half of his life. He suffered, wondering, “Should I do this, should I do that?” He truly went another way. So many people keep making judgments about others. One who truly knows the gospel must not judge. There is a plan for that person. There is a special plan for every remnant. You must find it. Abraham could not find it and kept suffering, then he found it. Perhaps while God was doing His work He made a mistake and let you live on this earth? Right? He governs our lives completely—He calls us and He sends us. Right? Did He leave you on this earth due to a small miss? Is that correct? There is no such law. You must surely find it this year. I see that many pastors have already lost hold of this. “Things do not go well for me…” But God has a plan. You must find it.

There was such a pastor in America—Pastor Robert Schuller, about whom there were some odd rumors. His ministry would not work even if he died; nothing worked. And there was “Oral Roberts,” a pastor. He could not speak well, so when his parents named him they attached the word “Oral,” hoping he would speak better. But when this man prayed, words came out; otherwise, he could not speak well. He was a famous person in America for a time. Alone, he truly prayed: “God, what is the reason You called me?” And then this power came upon him. He held meetings across America, and it caused a stir. This really happened. When the meeting ended, canes were loaded—two truckloads. That means those who had come leaning on canes were healed. Wheelchairs—about three truckloads were taken away. This really happened. The entire region was stirred. As I see it, God had such a special plan for that person.

You must not lose hold of this, especially this year. God has a special, unprecedented plan for you. Until you discover this, do not give up. You simply have not seen it yet. The reason was explained in the first service today. Abraham finally found it, and we will see it now in the second service.

1. Genesis 13:18 “The prayer of the watchman”
First. In Genesis 13:18, he began to build an altar. What is this? The prayer of the watchman began. You only need to begin this prayer.

[Power of the throne]
The prayer of the watchman is not just any watchman’s prayer; it is prayer that enjoys the power of the throne. This is certain.

1) Bartizan of the throne
What is happening now, right now? While you are praying, the bartizan of the throne is being made.

2) Journey of the throne
The path you take becomes the journey of the throne.

3) Guideposts of the throne
You come to set up these guideposts of the throne in many places. From that day on, Abraham began to build an altar.

[Prayer done alone]
Simply put, it is prayer done alone. You must be able to pray alone to know prayer. If a remnant can pray alone, then wherever they are, it is okay. Whatever they face, it is okay. Believe this. This covenant does not change.

2. Genesis 14:17–24 “Worship prayer”
Second. This is today’s passage. We read verses 17 to 24. What is this? Simply put, it goes beyond the simple prayer of the watchman to the prayer you enjoy during worship.

1) 318 (RT)
While he was worshiping, he raised 318 trained men. What does this mean? It means that while you worshiped and prayed properly, remnants arose. Your children are changed into mighty warriors.

2) Spiritual victory that overcomes darkness
In this way, they defeated Sodom and Gomorrah. What does that mean? It means the spiritual battle that overcomes darkness results in victory. People do not know what worship is. Worship is like this. During worship, spiritual victory that overcomes darkness takes place. It also happens in personal prayer, but especially when worshiping together. Nearly 318 were praying. Thus they overcame Sodom. This is well-known content.

3) Tithe (economy of light)
Then as he was coming down, he met the high priest named Melchizedek, and this priest blessed Abraham. At that time Abraham gave Melchizedek a tithe. There would have been spoils of victory—he tithed that. This is called the three economies. It is the time when the economy of light that revives the church, the economy of light to do world missions, and the economy of light to raise the remnants is restored. It is so today when you pray. Do not ever be discouraged; the offerings you give are the economy of light. Wherever this offering is used, the economy of light appears. The missions you support are the economy of light. Right? When your remnants grow and move the world—this becomes the economy of light.

When two ideologies were fighting as now, it was already so during the Korean War (6.25). At that time, missionaries who had the gospel entered our country and prayed for Korea. It is truly amazing. They established schools. They established hospitals—not large hospitals, but it was urgent. There was nothing. Today is the Worship Committee’s dedication service, and you must surely restore personal prayer. He said they built an altar. Then, with the 318—though I do not know the exact place—prayer began: worship prayer. And it did not end there.

3. Genesis 22:1–22 “Prayer that saves the posterity”
In Genesis 22:1–22, this is not just prayer. It is prayer that is transmitted to the posterity. It is indeed prayer that saves the posterity, but more precisely, this prayer must be transmitted to the posterity.

Thus, as we study Genesis well, we see this flow of the Word. People hardly believe the flow of the Word. When I began in Busan I said, “In the afternoon I will lecture on the Book of Acts for my whole life. But in the first service I will survey the Word beginning with Genesis. When Genesis ends, we will go on to Exodus.” Before Genesis even ended—before it ended—our church was in an uproar. For a long time we could not receive permission to build the temple, so we prayed long and held to the Word: the three courtyards. If this is not realized, we knew it is not a church. Indeed, the Word is fulfilled precisely like this.

When you come on Sunday, you must truly come with a heart that waits for God’s highest grace. Thus David said, “Enter His courts with thanksgiving.” As though the king has called you to enter. Simply put, the king says, “I will appoint you to the office of Minister. Come in.” Then you enter the palace to meet the king. How would you feel? On Sundays, at least to that extent—“Enter His courts with thanksgiving.” Some may not be doing that. It will be a bit toilsome. The life of faith will be difficult. Why? Because you lost hold of something—something important. You are not truly enjoying this power. Thus you do not realize how important your worship is. From then on, you save the posterity. It is transmitted to the posterity.

1) Genesis 22:1 “To test him”
Genesis 22:1. God tested Abraham. “Abraham!” He said. “Offer your beloved only son Isaac as a burnt offering.” This—Scripture clearly says—“God tested Abraham.” What test? He is now sitting for the test in which God blesses. We almost always take it as though hardship is coming, but when the real thing of God is coming, it is often like this. Now Abraham is not like before. Formerly he would have made excuses: “That is not possible.” Formerly he might have said, “God, that cannot be. We had him at a hundred years old, it caused such a stir, how can we offer him? Absolutely not. Please take the old woman instead. Or else take me.” But he went in silence. It is said he believed that God would bring him back to life. Simply put, he confirmed why God told him to go there to worship. There surely is a reason, for you as well.

As he went, Abraham spoke to the servant: “Stay here. We will go and worship God and return.” He told the servant to wait. Why? Because Abraham thought that if he took the servant, the servant would stop him. As they went, the son asked, “Father, why is there no ram this time?” “God Himself has provided,” he answered.

2) Genesis 22:13
So as you know, a ram was provided in place of Isaac. This is not an ordinary story. There is a difference between being helped while walking along the road and being helped at the time of death, right? What is the difference? When you are helped at the time of death, you do not forget it. The ram was completely engraved. The gospel transmitted to the posterity. It is prayer transmitted to the posterity. It is this important. At decisive moments, teach your children the name of Christ, bless them, and speak. You already know this. The answers are all out.

3) Blessing
Then, after offering the ram in his place, God spoke thus. He blessed with three things.

(1) Stars
“Your descendants will be as numerous as the stars of the heavens and as the sand of the sea.” Like the many stars of heaven—He promised that.

(2) Gate
And, “You will possess the gate of your enemies.” That means victory.

(3) All peoples of the earth
And finally He said again, “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed.” It must align with this. In this way, prayer became a work in history.

There is another thing easy for us to mistake. When you pray, are there more answers that come now, or more that come later? Which are more? Because we are dull of mind, we realize almost all later. The answers that come later are greater.

▣ Conclusion
What answers came?

1. Isaac
1) One hundredfold
For world missions, God gave to the son named Isaac the blessing of a hundredfold. In one year He allowed the blessing of a hundred years. Thus world missions are done—through the son Isaac.

2) Source of springs
Abraham obtained many wells, but God made him obtain the very source of springs. Our remnants must open their eyes like this in the future. You must obtain the source of the economy of light. Just watch—who knows what will happen? As for your church building here, building the three courtyards, and doing it in Busan—we do not worry. Now God will begin to attach to us tremendous people of prayer. There is nothing to worry about.

3) Rehoboth
He promised the blessing of Rehoboth—to the son. And it did not end there.

2. Jacob → Israel
To the grandson Jacob, God blessed: “Your name…”—an immense blessing. “Do not call your name Jacob, but Israel.” From here came the twelve tribes of Israel. From here this famous name—Israel—came. This was Jacob’s new name.

3. Joseph – Egypt
In the posterity, world evangelization arose through Joseph. Amazing things took place. He saved Egypt and the world, and made him prime minister of Egypt. The whole world came to buy grain. The whole world bowed the knee to this Joseph. With confidence he delivered the covenant to them, and while earning money, he moved the world. Who would have imagined? They thought this son was dead, yet he had become prime minister. Jacob must have been shocked. Right? First the brothers were shocked when they found out. They had tried to kill him, then sold him, and he had become the prime minister who moves the world. The brothers were shocked—beyond shocked; people lost their senses and acted strangely. Then he said, “Do not be afraid, my brothers. It was not you who sold me. God sent me ahead.” To that extent they were shocked. Though unconfirmed, Potiphar’s wife probably fainted—she had put him in prison, and he became prime minister.

Light overcomes darkness. You are children of light. You set up the bartizan of light, you go on the journey of light, and you set up the guideposts of light. This is certain. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week will be a week in which you receive yet another great answer. Let us pray.

Prayer. Do not let us lose the flow of the covenant, and let us restore the true power of prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Restore the Essence of the Gospel

John 2:13-22. When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. ¹⁴In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. ¹⁵So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. ¹⁶To those who sold doves he said, “Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father’s house into a market!” ¹⁷His disciples remembered that it is written: “Zeal for your house will consume me.”

¹⁸The Jews then responded to him, “What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?”

¹⁹Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days.”

²⁰They replied, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?” ²¹But the temple he had spoken of was his body. ²²After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

The Jews had great pride in their temple, but they completely missed the true temple, which is Christ Jesus Himself (John 2:21). To them, the temple was merely a building, a national symbol, and a place for rituals. Their focus was on outward appearance rather than inward devotion. In fact, they had turned the very courtyard intended for the Gentiles—the nations—to seek God into a noisy marketplace. Instead of being a house of prayer for all nations (Isaiah 56:7), it had become a marketplace.

Blinded by greed, pride, and tradition, they failed to grasp the central message of salvation: the death (“Destroy this temple”) and resurrection (“I will raise it again in three days”) of Jesus Christ.

Though they sacrificed countless bulls, lambs, and goats, God had no delight in their empty worship, because their hearts were far from Him. They trampled His courts with meaningless offerings, missing the mystery and blessing of true worship (Isaiah 1:11–12).

Today, God is calling His people to restore the true temple—not a building made by human hands, but the living Christ. He is the only Savior who defeated Satan. He was without sin (Hebrews 4:15; 1 Peter 3:18), the promised offspring of the woman (Genesis 3:15), born of a virgin, untouched by Adam’s fallen nature (Isaiah 7:14).

Jesus is both fully God and fully man (John 1:14). He took on human flesh because a sinless substitute was needed to pay the price of sin—death (Genesis 2:17). As Paul declares,

“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!” (Philippians 2:6–8).

Because you have been crucified with Christ, you are no longer under the curse of sin and hell. You have been set free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:1-2). Your identity is now found in the One who loved you and gave Himself for you. God is most glorified when you not only believe this truth but live it out, proclaiming reconciliation through Christ with your words and life.

As the undeniable evidence of His divinity, Jesus rose from the dead on the third day, just as the Scriptures foretold (1 Corinthians 15:3–5). By rising again from the dead, He broke the power of death and crushed the enemy who held its grip (Hebrews 2:14). This is why Thomas, seeing the risen Savior, declared with awe, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28).

So why keep living under the weight of your past? Why remain paralyzed by today’s trials or tomorrow’s fears? The cross has already spoken. At Calvary, Jesus stripped away the power of sin, death, and every spiritual ruler that enslaved you. He declared once and for all, “It is finished” (John 19:30). So, consider it finished, and let your heart rest in His completed work.

Remember, “His incomparably great power for us who believe… is the same as the mighty strength He exerted when He raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms” (Ephesians 1:19–20). That power is at work in you.

Are you tired of disappointment, failure, and constant blame? Lift your eyes to Christ. God has canceled every charge against you, washed away your guilt, and declared you righteous. You are holy and blameless in His sight. And this is not the end—He will one day transform your lowly body to be like His glorious body (Philippians 3:21).

When you recover the essence of the gospel, you will also recover God’s vision for the nations. Like the disciples, your eyes will be opened to the courtyard of the Gentiles—to see the heart of God for every tribe, tongue, and people. Then you will realize that the true purpose of the church is not ritual, but mission: the life movement (John 10:10), the Word movement (Matthew 28:20), and the remnant movement (John 21:15).

God is inviting you to align your life with His covenant and the eternal answers found in the Three Courtyards of His church. In the 237 courtyard, you are called to see the people from all nations, creating spaces where the next generation can be nurtured in the gospel and find their lifelong direction.

In the courtyard of healing, you are invited to experience restoration beyond medicine—where the Word and prayer heal broken hearts, strength is renewed, and enable people to walk as a pilgrim with purpose instead of being bound by scars.

In the courtyard of the summit, you help raise God’s remnants who first establish His kingdom within, are trained to live with spiritual power, and are prepared to influence and lead the world. Through these courtyards, you will see that God has already prepared answers for every time, every place, and every generation to save the world.

Prayer. Father, thank You for giving me the gospel, not a religion. Restore in me the joy of knowing Christ and the power of His death and resurrection. Fill me with Your Spirit, so I may proclaim the gospel with my life and join in Your mission to bring salvation to all nations. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Start of Eternal Answers

Prayer Journal: September 30, 2025
05. Jan. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 13:14-18

▣ Introduction
Thank you. Today is the start of the answer of eternity. Already in the past as well, but now many people are in a situation where they cannot even offer worship. “Let us make a name for ourselves and build the tower of Babel.” Words no longer work. So that tower of Babel collapses completely, and God tells Abraham to leave from there.
So today, new believers must ask, “How can I live the life of faith properly?” We should ask this question, right? So let us draw the conclusion first now. For many of our church leaders, the question is, “How must I live the life of faith to have truly found the way?” I consider this the most important. What does it mean for our remnants to have truly found the way?

1. Gospel
Of course, we must first realize the gospel, but—

1) To be liberated from Satan’s 12 strategies
The gospel is to be liberated from Satan’s 12 strategies. It is tremendous.

2) That the Triune God is with you within you by the Holy Spirit
And the gospel is that the Triune God is, by the Holy Spirit, within you and with you now.

3) Because God is with me, I no longer need anything regarding “me.”
Therefore, in the gospel, nothing more regarding “me” is necessary. Because God, who is greater than I, is with me. But if one does not understand this statement, one has not understood the gospel.
“Why are you able to interpret dreams?” “Because the Lord is with me.” “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For the Lord is my shepherd.” “We can enter into the fire.” “We can enter into the lions’ den.” “It is okay even if I die.” This is the life of faith.

※ Because this is not established, the gospel is not enjoyed, and disasters come (Genesis 3, 6, 11—me, mine, ours)
Because this is not established, the gospel is not enjoyed, and disasters keep coming upon the whole world now. They know nothing but themselves. Satan uses that and says, “You will be like God. If it is mine, that is all.” In this way they become the Nephilim. “Let’s be strong among ourselves.” This is the tower of Babel.
This is how it collapsed. It is the same now. At this time all over the world, there are too many spiritual problems, and things do not work out. We must quickly testify to this urgent gospel. We must quickly shine the light.

2. How will I be used for world evangelization with my work? The more accurate and factual, the better.
Then today, you only need to hold onto one thing and go. I will talk about various things. How does one live the life of faith properly?

1) Abraham, for whom the covenant that “through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed” did not seem to fit
God spoke to Abraham: “Through your seed, the nations will be blessed. All the peoples of the earth will be blessed.” For Abraham, this was too difficult a word. It simply did not seem to fit. “But now You said, ‘Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s household,’ and I left, and You say to save the nations? And ‘through your seed’—but I do not even have a child!” “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will obtain blessing.” It simply did not fit.
From now on, what must you ponder deeply? How will I be used for world evangelization with my work? The more accurate, the better. The more factual, the better. Then your life has found the way.

2) Abraham, who lost the way and suffered to the point of death
“How can I do something that difficult?” Now Abraham lost the way. He is suffering to the point of death. Wherever he goes, death approaches. To the point that they try to kill Abraham and take his wife. He even suffered that twice. Wherever he goes, crises approach. Later even his nephew causes problems. So today’s main passage is the content of separating from his nephew. The words, “Through you the nations will be blessed,” did not make any sense to Abraham.

3. The characteristics of the 7 remnants
Remnants, you must remember. The 7 remnants had one thing that was different from their fathers. There was exactly one thing different from the adults. What is it? For how to do world evangelization, they had a schedule. This is what is different. This is far easier.

1) Joseph
“The sun, the moon, and the stars bowed down to me.” That is world evangelization. The brothers said, “He’s crazy.” People who do not know say that: “He’s crazy.” It is not insanity. He knew the way of world evangelization. Every path Joseph took was an answer. You must hold to this. The more accurate, the better. Abraham failed to hold this. He just went because he was told to go. Then unbelief arose. “Where will I go to make a living? And frankly, if I die, at least someone should hold a funeral. I have no child.” So he enticed his nephew. “Hey, come here.” Like this. “Let’s go.” Though he was told to leave his relatives, he said, “Let’s go.” This becomes another problem.
With a single word today, you must understand: The whole way of my life must be seen.

2) Moses
Moses failed to find this for 80 years. He had heard from his mother, but he could not find this way. Because he could not find it, nothing worked. He found it at age 80. Right?

3) Samuel and David
Those who realized the covenant of world evangelization from childhood were Samuel and David. Right? You must find this way. It is not difficult at all. No matter how far, God is set to accomplish it. For most of you, that way likely does not exist now. Most of you are probably living like Abraham. Things do not go well. Nothing works out. You do not see the way. As I know it, most church members are like this—suffering raw hardship, suffering that should not be done. God will continue to answer, but I cannot find it. Because there is no way. I lost hold of it. If I only go on that way, just going quietly, answers come. Joseph went as a slave, and that was a blessing. He was falsely accused and went to prison, and that too was a blessing. He met the king, and that too was a blessing. He became prime minister, and that too was a blessing. Of course. Young David knew this too well. “You will build the temple. Carefully keep the ark of the covenant. Build a temple with a courtyard for world evangelization.” David had all the answers. He had it from his youth. These are the 7 remnants.

※ If you only know the way, the Lord will set up the bartizan, the journey, and the guideposts and make you go.
We Christians have almost all lost hold of this. It is not even that we are commanded to do it—if you only know the way. On the way you go, the Lord will set up the bartizan, the journey, and the guideposts and make you go. Today you must surely realize this.

※ Find the schedule in your life for going on God’s way.
Since we fail to realize it, the Nephilim now realize it. Bill Gates already left university. “I will do this and move the whole world.” The late Steve Jobs said, “We can put the whole world in this mobile phone. I will devote to the world.” Is that insanity? It turned out that way, didn’t it?
What did Jim Rogers, who came to Korea, say? “I will retire at 46. After retiring at 46, I will travel the world and serve.” Indeed. It happened that way. He retired at 46. He is traveling the whole world now. He is smart. He even took on a North Korean defector as his secretary. Why? Because he intends to invest in North Korea. It is tremendous. An unbeliever is doing this.
So Abraham was not becoming it. By God’s grace, it was truly realized. Friends, saying “I can do what is impossible” is nonsense, right? Saying “I can do what is impossible.” And saying “I cannot do what is possible” also does not make sense, right? Yet this is how we are living the life of faith. We say we will do what we cannot do, and we do not do what we can do. Find the schedule in my lifetime for going on God’s way. Just watch and see whether it works or not.
There is a person I truly liked and respected, about ten years older than I. I found that there was so much I could learn from him. He was truly diligent. He graduated from Seoul National University, served as a judge, and worked as a lawyer. Sadly, he passed away at age 70, but I found that he lacked exactly one thing. He was truly smart, but he did not have it. What was it? He had no schedule of evangelism and missions for the future in his life. I intended to tell him, but I could not. If a person like that had it, he would have become tremendous.

▣ Main
By now you have probably caught it—what this means. “But how can we do something that difficult?”

1. The timetable to change what one possesses
First. For Abraham, it became the timetable to change what he possessed.

1) Genesis 13:14–18
“It was after Lot separated from Abram.” This means after Abraham laid down all unbelief. It means after he laid down all the scheming. From that time he began to build an altar. This is important. He began to build an altar holding to the covenant, and what did God say? “Now arise and walk through the land to the north and south, east and west. Look to the north, south, east, and west. Travel through its length and breadth. I will give it to you forever.” It was finished now. Abraham ended unbelief. He saw the way. Then even when it came to yielding, he yielded everything to his nephew. “You choose first.”

2) Genesis 14:14–24
A war broke out and Lot was about to die, his nephew. He took 318 trained men and went. He returned in victory. Besides the spoils, the king of Sodom gave Abraham a large sum of money. Abraham said he could not receive it. “Later you will say that I became rich because of you, will you not? I cannot receive it.” On his return he gave a tithe of the spoils to Melchizedek.

3) Genesis 15:1–6
In chapter 15, God spoke thus: “I am your shield; I am your very great reward.” Who can say anything? “I am your shield and your reward.” It had become time to change things. The timetable is important.

2. The timetable to find what is genuine
Second. For Abraham, it now became the timetable to find what is genuine.

1) Genesis 17:1–8
In chapter 17 it says this. There is a word we must surely learn: “Do not call your name Abram, but Abraham.” To say it again: “You are the father of many nations. You are the father of world evangelization. You must see that schedule. By any means I will do it, so you must see that way.” And what then? Abraham believed that.

2) Genesis 18:1–19
In chapter 18 he entertained guests, and later he realized he had entertained angels. What came forth then? “Around this time next year, you will bear a son.” That son is Isaac. It was promised. This is Abraham beginning properly to find God’s covenant.

3) Genesis 22:1–18
Not only that. The child was growing well, and the Scripture says: “To test Abraham, God said, ‘Take your son, your only son whom you love, and go to Mount Moriah and offer him there.’” Ah, what is this? Abraham had so many possible excuses. But what should he do?
He took his son and went. As they went up the mountain, the son asked, “Father, every year when we offer sacrifice we take a ram; why is there no ram?” He asked this. At that time Abraham could have said one word, right? “Perhaps God’s taste has changed; He says to offer you.” It would not have been a lie. But then the son would be shocked and think, “Father has become strange. My father has gone strange,” and run away. What did he answer at that time? “God Himself will provide.” He did not say anything else.

The Bible says God was testing him. When he truly tried to offer his son, what did God say? At that time God prepared a ram. He planted the gospel that cannot ever be forgotten. He engraved the gospel into Isaac forever—the ram. He engraved the gospel that Abraham can never forget. Without Christ, we cannot block disasters on this earth. We cannot block those spiritual problems. We cannot block those fights. Those battles in darkness cannot be blocked except by the light. “A ram in place of your son.” This is the gospel.

At that time several words were spoken. Did not God give several important promises to Abraham then? “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed. You will possess the gate of your enemies. I will multiply your seed.” He promised. The most important—“You will possess the gate of your enemies.” He found it exactly. He found the way of world evangelization.

3. The timetable to establish the way of world evangelization (Genesis 26:12–25)
Third. The timetable came out to establish the way of world evangelization.

1) Source of springs
In that timetable, Abraham dug wells in various places. He was rich. It is the way of world missions. He dug wells in various places. The enemies came and, out of jealousy, stopped up all those wells of Isaac. Right? What did God do? He made Isaac obtain the source of springs.

2) The blessing of one hundredfold in one year
He farmed, and a hundredfold came out. He blessed him with the blessing of one hundredfold in one year. Why? Because he had to do world evangelization. Remnants earn in one year what would normally take one hundred years. Why? Because they must do world evangelization.

3) Rehoboth
The enemy came and kept blocking, but God gave a larger land—the blessing of Rehoboth. You must hold to this covenant.

4) The covenant fulfilled in Joseph
In the end, this covenant is fulfilled in the grandson. Who is it? Joseph. It begins to be fulfilled amazingly. It is used in the work of breaking the darkness, timed exactly with the age of Egypt.

▣ Conclusion
Today, it is enough even if you only think.

1. When I was in charge of Sunday School
When I was in charge of Sunday School, I thought, “How can I preach the gospel to these children and evangelize them?” A burning heart arose. But the children could not listen to the Word. So I realized, “Ah, I must meet the sixth graders separately. They will soon go to middle school; if they go then, it will be the end—what should I do?” Then what I realized was the House of Peace. I realized the tremendous thing in the Bible. So at the homes of church members who had larger spaces, I gathered the children and had House of Peace meetings. I did that in seven places, and more than a thousand children flocked in. It is not difficult. How will I evangelize throughout my life? You must have the way firmly. Even moment by moment, you need that answer.

2. When I was in the military
Did I not say it before? The most difficult time for me was when I suddenly went to a unit where I had to undergo training for a full year. A year. I felt like dying. I trained for a whole year—all day long. At that time I thought: we trained 50 minutes and rested 10 minutes, trained 50 minutes and rested 10 minutes, and at each 10-minute break I thought, “There must be a prepared disciple in here. I will find that disciple.” How to find him? I do not know. I only need to realize it. There must surely be a disciple here. Right? The reason God sent me here is that there must surely be a disciple. Of all times, why send me to such a difficult place where we only receive training? No need to say more. From that time God worked—the commanding officer accepted Christ. Not to mention others—the commanding officer accepted. Later, every Wednesday I preached a message to all the soldiers gathered together. It is a remarkable thing. I am telling you to hold to the covenant.

3. When I began in Yeongdo
When I went to Yeongdo in Busan and quietly began, there was nothing—what should I do? I could not even dream of such a fine church. There was no church building at all. I prayed to God. “It does not matter. I will spread the movement of the Word throughout all of Yeongdo.” I spread it. Thousands of disciples arose.

4. Regarding building the temple
God did not permit the temple. Why do we need a temple? Now go see Busan. Just looking at it now makes you dizzy. I realized late—the three courtyards. The moment I held to that covenant, God began to give every answer.

5. The current timetable
Now our church is in earnest training the 5,000 tribes. We bring them and train them. Then we send them out to evangelize. We must send them to block that darkness. They are falling into disaster and dying. We must save them. There is no way.
Now look at the situation of our nation. There is no way. That is a spiritual problem. They are caught in spiritual problems and absolutely cannot listen to others. It is not that they will not listen; they cannot listen. Even if they are ruined, only after receiving disaster and being ruined will they listen. Even ruined, they cannot listen. Before that, we must shine the light.
Today you must firmly hold to this covenant. There is no need to be hasty. The more accurate, the better. If you set the schedule accurately, remnants must surely hold it. If you do this, you will see that answers are prepared in every place you go. It is true.
Someone sent me a text: “Pastor, please do not boast so much.” “Understood. Thank you.” I try not to as much as possible, but I cannot help it. This is not boasting. Right?

※ Everyone is trapped in darkness and spiritual problems and cannot listen. There is no way to solve the darkness. The light is needed. We must first remove the darkness.
All are trapped in darkness and cannot hear. Trapped in spiritual problems, they cannot listen. This battle is now arising across the nation and the world. It is arising throughout the whole country. Will North Korea listen to us? Without the light shining, there is no way to solve that darkness. Will Russia listen to us then? If we say, “Do not wage war,” will they not wage it? The whole world is in turmoil. The light is needed. Therefore we must first remove the darkness.
Begin the important start of this year truly and properly. You will see what God does. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing will overflow. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us find our way. Let us see the way of world evangelization. Though it is absolutely impossible, by God’s creative power let the light shine. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Know Your Right!

John 1:1-14. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. ²He was with God in the beginning. ³Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. ⁴In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. ⁵The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

⁶There was a man sent from God whose name was John. ⁷He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. ⁸He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.

⁹The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. ¹⁰He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. ¹¹He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. ¹²Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— ¹³children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God.

¹⁴The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Scripture says that the whole world is under the control of the evil one, Satan (1 John 5:19). He dared to challenge God Himself (Ezekiel 28:14–19; Isaiah 14:12–15). Holding the power of death (Hebrews 2:14), he seized the kingdom of the air (Ephesians 2:2) and exerts his influence throughout the world (Ephesians 6:12). It was he who deceived Adam and Eve, stealing life from them and plunging humanity into hell, disasters, and separation from God (Genesis 3:1–10).

Since then, the devil has trapped mankind in his snares: the cage of self-reliance and self-centeredness (Genesis 3), the corruption and worldly pleasure of Noah’s days (Genesis 6), and the pride and pursuit of human success at Babel (Genesis 11). He continues the same strategies today—making people lovers of themselves, of money, and of success (2 Timothy 3:1-5)—only to leave them in despair and emptiness. He builds invisible prisons around us through the powers of religion and oppression (Acts 13), through demon-possession and bondage (Acts 16), and through cultural darkness and idolatry (Acts 19).

This is why Jesus, the Creator God, came as the true Light for all people. From the beginning, light was God’s answer to darkness, formlessness, and emptiness (Genesis 1:2–3). But the Light of Christ is far greater than the natural light of the sun, moon, and stars. His light is life itself—the life of God shining into the darkness, a life that the darkness cannot overcome (John 1:5).

The eternal Word took on human form and lived among us (John 1:14). The Creator became man so that He could call us out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). To those who receive Him, to those who believe in His name, He gives the right to become children of God.

This authority comes from our True King, Jesus, who destroyed the devil’s work (1 John 3:8). It is the access to the throne of grace through our True Priest, Jesus, who entered the Most Holy Place once for all with His own blood (Hebrews 9:12). It is the privilege of living as citizens of heaven through our True Prophet, Jesus, who opened the way to heaven for us living in the background of hell (John 14:6).

And now, the presence, guidance, and empowerment of the Holy Spirit are given to all who believe. God’s angels, His ministering spirits, are sent to serve and help those who will inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). The authority of Jesus is living and active in you. When you receive and believe that Jesus is the Christ, His life becomes your life, and His authority becomes your authority. Everything in heaven and on earth must submit to His name (Philippians 3:21).

This faith is not about striving harder, reforming your character, or chasing after self-improvement. It is about receiving the life that conquers death and the authority that overcomes the enemy. Life—because apart from Christ, we were dead in our sins (Ephesians 2:1). Authority—because we face a relentless adversary who prowls like a roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8).

Therefore, live each day in the fullness of His life. Walk in boldness, not fear. Exercise His authority against the forces of darkness with humility, always acknowledging the One who has all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18).

Prayer. Lord Jesus, I thank You for coming as the true Light of the world. Thank You for the life You restored and the authority You gave me when I believed. Help me to walk boldly yet humbly in the power of Your name, shining Your light in every place of darkness. Amen.

The Start Toward Eternity

Prayer Journal: September 29, 2025
[Core] The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (1) 「 The Start Towards Eternal 」 (Ac 1:3)
[Scattered Disciples] The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (1) 「 The Watchman Who Circuits 」 (Ac 9:15)

You must begin well. If the start is wrong, you will continue to go wrong. This is the start toward eternity. Most people begin wrongly and suffer for a long time, even their whole lives. That is why the fact that you are gathered here on Saturday with remnants like this is something rare in the world. Even if someone tries to sustain it, it cannot continue. But because you hold the covenant, this will continue until many remnants arise in the future.

▣ Introduction
Now, even if you know everything, if you do not know these three things well, your start will be wrong.

1. Gospel – Light
If you do not know what the gospel really is, everything goes wrong. But to understand the gospel is not an easy thing. Because if only the gospel is understood, then everything else will be understood.

1) Satan (darkness) – Liberation
What does it mean to understand the gospel? From beginning to end, Satan seeks to destroy you, and the Bible calls this darkness. You have been liberated from this. Colossians 1:13 says this. Because we can never overcome this, God sent Christ to deliver us.

2) Trinity (1 Corinthians 3:16)
But it is not just that. For us who are saved, the Triune God dwells in us with His Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit works within us, we are different from unbelievers. If our remnants understand the gospel, they can save the world. And it does not end here.

3) Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17 [ I ]
What comes out when you understand the gospel? It means Christ dwells in me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says we will be a new creation. Most people lose hold of the gospel here. Almost all lose it because of what is called “I.” Now, what should our remnants never worry about for their whole lives from this point on? “How should I live in the future?” “How should I study?” You do not need to worry about that. That is all being deceived.
God leads remnants 100% for eternity. You must believe this. To understand this is what it means to understand the gospel.

That is why many people shake when difficulties come. Why? Because this (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17) is not established. Even pastors shake when problems arise because they do not understand this. That is why it is somewhat difficult to understand the gospel. Most people lose it at point 3 (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Clearly, God has broken the authority of darkness and is with us through the Holy Spirit, but we do not realize it.

That is why the 7 remnants said when hardships came, “It is okay because the Lord is with me.” That is the one who is saved. Remnants must remember this. Here, darkness is completely broken. They said, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” This is the gospel.

So if you know the gospel, all darkness is broken. That is darkness. The forces of darkness are destroyed. You must remember this. What does it mean that you understood the gospel? It means you came out of this. Then you are different from others. The Holy Spirit works in us. This is certain. Then what does it mean? In all of your life, in all of the life of remnants, God is working. This is the gospel.

But because they do not know this, they keep shaking according to their situation. Many say, “I used to go to church before.” If the gospel is not realized, the church is the same as any other religion. The gospel is different.

Whenever I meet a Buddhist monk, I clearly say, “You cannot be saved. And your spiritual problems cannot be solved.” It absolutely cannot be solved. They know it themselves. From the time they shaved their heads, spiritual problems already came. It cannot be solved. Why would a normal person shave their head and sit in the mountain? From the start it is already wrong. So I say to the monk, “Why do you cut your natural hair and suffer like that? No matter how much you cultivate, it will not work. The more you try, the harder it will become.” Because they are caught here (Satan).

That is why we must come out of this. Invisibly, the Holy Spirit works within us. Then in all of life, God is with us. This is the gospel.

2. Prayer
You must understand what prayer is.

1) Bartizan of the throne
Prayer is God being with us and letting us enjoy the bartizan of the throne. This is prayer.

2) Journey of the throne
And on the way, prayer lets us enjoy the journey of the throne. Is it not amazing?

3) Guidepost of the throne
And prayer sets up guideposts of the throne everywhere. This is prayer. That is why Jesus explained this for 40 days. For 40 days He spoke about the things concerning the kingdom of God. This is prayer. Only this is prayer. Jesus told us to do only this: “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

If you are inside the bartizan of the throne of the Triune God, and if you set up guideposts on the journey, it cannot fail. Among the greatest answers is that guideposts are set up in many places.

3. Evangelism
What is evangelism? Just know these three things.

1) Me
God has given me 100%. It is about finding it.

2) The way
On the way you and the remnants go, there is the field. God has prepared it 100%.

3) Future
In your future and systems, God has prepared 100%.

300%
This is called 300%. All studies must be done like this. All business must be done like this. All evangelism must be done like this. Then it becomes very easy.

When I see people evangelizing, I think, “Wow, amazing. How can they do it so hard like that?” I cannot do it. Before I go to evangelize anywhere, I receive sufficient answers about it. Then I check the way fully. And I confirm, “How will it proceed?” I confirm the system fully. Then I go. It is such a grace. I receive blessings when I go. I receive strength when I come back.

To go to a total stranger and knock on the door saying, “Believe in Jesus.” Of course they can believe. Right? But I cannot evangelize like that. I am too shy. It is hard to ring the bell of someone else’s house and enter. Door-to-door evangelism is not absent in the Bible, but that was to let them see the field at first. But the evangelism Jesus taught was not that. He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” That is right. You will see the evidence.

Now you must perfectly remember these three things. What is the gospel? “It’s going to church.” Can that person save the world? What is prayer? “It’s what you do when eating.” That is prayer, yes. What is evangelism? “It’s dragging friends to church.” Living like that is not easy at all.

All studies, all businesses, all jobs are included in this. They are all inside the gospel, prayer, and evangelism.

If you are a civil servant, or a schoolteacher, you must evangelize in a different way. As you get closer to children or colleagues in the workplace, they reveal their spiritual problems. At that time, you can say it accurately. That is the gospel. They cannot come out of this (Satan). And if they are saved, they have the right to enjoy this (prayer). And then they receive this (evangelism) answer.

▣ Main
Then the important main point becomes visible. What is seen?

1. Things to throw away – Things to change
You see what you must quickly throw away and what you must change.

2. Things to enjoy – Things to find
And you see what you must enjoy and what you must find. Then answers continue to come.

3. Things to overcome – Things to establish
You see what you must overcome and what you must establish. It becomes clear.

1. Things to throw away – Things to change
Bartizan of Satan × [Bartizan of the throne]
Then automatically the bartizan of Satan collapses. While you are praying, the bartizan of the throne arises within you. Then answers keep coming. If you only hold onto this covenant, your church will continue to experience works. You do not need to do any strange things. The church will just experience the movement of life. The remnants will naturally head toward the summit. You must not lose this. Because they cannot truly restore the gospel, they keep holding onto wrong things and suffer.

What is salvation? He promised to be with us with Immanuel. He promised to be with us always, to the very end of the age. It is to enjoy this.

So from now on, remnants truly do not need to worry about anything. Remnants from poor family backgrounds are laying down a firm foothold. It is okay. Some are good at studying, some are good at working. All are different. So God prepares 300% for you to do world evangelization.

2. Things to enjoy – Things to find
Prayer 300% → Economy of light
Now what should you enjoy? You must enjoy prayer 300%. And what should you find? You must find the 3 kinds of economy. You must absolutely find this. The church economy, the mission economy, the remnant economy are the economy of light. You must absolutely find this. It is prepared. It is prepared for the elders. So with prayer 300%, you find these three economies.

3. Things to overcome – Things to establish
[I] → Absolute bartizan
And what is it? Now the tower of Babel is destined to collapse, and the Nephilim are destined to collapse. You must overcome the “I.” Then what do you establish from that time? You establish the absolute bartizan. Do not try hard. It is the absolute bartizan. Being overactive and being lazy are the same. That is not us. We truly pray and establish the absolute bartizan. Just wait.

How precious are you? There is no such law that says you must suffer by doing anything randomly. When do we leave this earth? When God calls us. That is why you must not worry about anything and only enjoy this (introduction) blessing. Then it will be enough.

▣ Conclusion

[Tour]
Now you take this and go out into the world. You are the watchmen who tour.

1. Absolute plan
So what is God’s absolute plan? You only need to find that. Wherever you go, it is hidden. You only need to find this.

2. Absolute journey
Then naturally you go on the absolute journey.

3. Absolute bartizan
And when you leave, you set up the absolute bartizan before leaving. This is the watchmen of the scattered ones who tour.

Now then, why do we embrace many people? Because within them we find this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). Most people are shaken. Do not be discouraged. It is about finding this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). You will meet many people when you go. The ones we seek to meet are these (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan) people. That is why we embrace everyone. Do you understand? There is nothing to stumble over. What we are doing is this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). It is not something optional, but it is God’s absolute plan.

When you go into the army, until the day you are discharged, God has hidden one disciple within this. You must find him. This is it (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). Also, those who teach children in schools, among the children in that school there is a prepared disciple. You must find this. How do you find it? If you pray, it will be found. In this way (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan) it clearly comes out. So because of that one person, you can think that many others are around. Sometimes when more than 10 North Korean defectors come, among them there is really 1 true disciple. The other 9 sometimes come to protect that 1. From God’s perspective. We do not know. That is why there is no reason to be discouraged, and no reason to be restless.

Now, today is the start. You must surely remember this. People keep starting wrong. They keep starting like unbelievers. But you are not unbelievers. You are people of the Holy Spirit, but you start as if the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with you. Absolutely not. This year may the blessing of receiving God’s true answer overflow, in the name of Jesus Christ I bless you.

Prayer. God, thank You. Let us begin with God’s covenant. Let us begin with the complete gospel. Let us begin only with prayer. Let us begin only with evangelism. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Prayer of the Week: September 28, 2025

Heavenly Father, we confess that when we have Christ, we have the light, and we lack nothing else. Keep us from holding onto Christ vaguely without answers, a mixed Christ of confusion, or the deception of the antichrist that brings disaster. Let us hold only to Christ, the complete Christ, who brings world evangelization. In worship and prayer, help us proclaim the name of Jesus Christ, so that darkness is broken, destinies are overturned, and eternity is secured. Establish us as the light of the world, standing as watchmen with the bartizan, journey, and guidepost You have promised. Like the remnants who trusted only in Christ, let us live assured of His finished work, shining His light to the nations.

We thank You that in Christ, every problem becomes a blessing. You have never once failed to turn trials into answers. Help us discover “only,” experience the uniqueness that others recognize, and walk in re-creation. Teach us to prepare 300% in what You entrust to us, so revival may come. Let us pray in the 7∙7∙7, enjoying Your power, healing, and summit blessings until crises turn into opportunities. As the remnants and church leaders of this age, may we rise even in persecution, guided by the Holy Spirit, for world evangelization. Keep us from deception and let us hold only to the gospel that changes the age.

Disciples Who See Problems as Blessings

2025.09.28 Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 6:1-7

Thank you. You are now disciples who see problems as blessings. In other words, you must be able to make problems into blessings. Why? Because that is what the Bible says. God has never once failed to turn problems into blessings. Now, here in this place, and also in churches nationwide and worldwide, there are many assistant pastors, and also RTS families who are rising up. You may have worries such as, “What should we prepare?” In some ways, there are many difficulties for church workers. So you must absolutely do this. Just do what the church assigns to you. Be thankful for it. But at the same time, there are things you must do.

[ Absolutely ]
You must find what you absolutely must do. And then you will be entrusted with one part. You must bring it to life. If that part comes to life, the church members will all be revived. They will be glad. This is not only for the church, not only for church workers, but also how we must act in society.

[ Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation ]
There is one secret to bringing revival. If you discover this, it is enough. Only. Because Jesus said so, others will come to know it in different words. This is uniqueness. Then re-creation takes place. Then the part is revived. When you see this (Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation), it is not difficult. When you see this, revival happens. I personally had nothing special that I could do, so I looked for something simple. I asked the question, “How can children listen to the Word?” In that question I discovered the Upper Room. Then I was in charge of middle and high school students, and the only way to reach them was to go to their schools. That was how I discovered team ministry. Other people saw this and the church members said to me, “Pastor, you’re amazing. How can you visit the schools like this?” But it was not amazing; there was simply no other way. At that time there were no cell phones, so that was the only way. The problem was, because others did not go, they said such things. That is uniqueness. There is nothing difficult about it. And then re-creation follows.

So far, we have already received many answers, but we must prepare, because next year the doors of the 5000 tribes will open wide. Even now they are opening. When I came here I kept mentioning Vanuatu, and many people thought, “Vanuatu? Is there such a country?” America cannot enter into the 5000 tribes, but Vanuatu can. If you enter into the 5000 tribes, within ten days you will die. People from advanced nations cannot enter. That is why countries like these are what God has prepared. That is re-creation.

[ 300% ]
While doing this, what must our assistant pastors do? You must prepare 300% in the part entrusted to you. Then it is enough. Then, in the places you go, in reality many works will arise. And in case you miss anything, many church leaders will pray for you, hold onto you, and support you. Otherwise, unfortunately, unlike laypeople, unlike elders, church workers always suffer from economic and various trials. For example, elders can run a business and make money, but pastors cannot. That hardship follows them. If you are not careful, you suffer for life. This (Absolutely, Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation, 300%) is essential.

In fact, let’s say you enter a company. For young adults, it is not easy to enter. You must adapt to those people and work there. But you must find what you absolutely must do. Because you are God’s saved people, there is a reason God sent you there. You must find this (Absolutely, Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation, 300%). And then you must do the work of saving others. Everyone likes to be helped. You must do the work of saving the company. In this way. While doing this, you must find Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. Then many answers will come. And in the meantime, you must prepare 300%. This is important.

Then, what must we do on the other side? There are three things here as well.

[ 7·7·7 ]
Christ gave this to us. He gave us the background so that we can do this.

[ Enjoying prayer ]
You must always pray to enjoy this. Enjoying prayer. If you keep enjoying this, as if it is nothing, what happens? True healing arises here. If you keep worrying, what happens? If you keep being shocked, what happens? You die. Your body as well. But if you keep enjoying, what happens? This is the real thing. Sudden answers like a thunderbolt are good, but the true answers come through enjoyment.

[ Power, Healing, Summit ]
Here, power begins to appear. And the problems I once carried are solved on their own. Fundamental healing takes place. My spiritual problems disappear. That itself becomes the summit.

These two sets ((Absolutely, Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation, 300%) and (7·7·7, Enjoying prayer, Power, Healing, Summit)) are established on both sides. Everyone who received answers in the Bible began in this way. You are busy. You must do exactly this. And you have no time to talk about others. Find it quickly. And there is no need to worry about problems that don’t exist. You must enjoy this quickly.

When you do this, a few things will appear.

[ All problems, all incidents, all crises ]
You already know. All problems become blessings. Is that not so? God has never once cursed. He has disciplined, yes, but never cursed. Did God striking Egypt, or striking Israel, mean He cursed them? Does it look like that? I see it as God saving them. He disciplined them to save them. He made them realize. He also made those nations hear the gospel. That is why all incidents become blessings. Absolutely. All crises become blessings. Then we must take a brief look at the evidence.

▣ Introduction: The eyes to see
Then you must have eyes to see this blessing.

RT 7
The seven remnants. We always speak of them. Even if we look only at Joseph and David, we can understand. Joseph was suddenly sold by human traffickers. This became an immense blessing. Joseph realized this. He told his brothers what he realized: “It was not you who sold me, but God who sent me ahead.” Though he suffered and was falsely imprisoned, he did not shake. That became the path of his success. One day the timetable came and the king called him. People must call you. Strong nations must call you. If you are prepared with 300%. Even if it seems like nothing, if that is prepared, they will call you. For me, I was called so many times that I could not refuse even though I was tired. They will call you. We must prepare so that the world calls our remnants. That is much easier.

David also suffered many hardships. But who received the most answers? David received the most. The word David used most often was “thanksgiving.” He used the word thanksgiving so much. That means he had many hardships, but because he received so many answers, he gave thanks. The fact that he said thanksgiving means he had eyes to see something.

People keep saying the wrong words. I always tell the older elders: “Because you are here, I feel so strengthened and glad.” Truly. It is so dependable. But many people say, “Once you get old, you retire…” The Bible does not say that. That does not fit the times. Now is the age of 100 years. In the future, they may live even longer. How can they retire? They must begin full ministry. People keep having outdated eyes that cannot see. It is the multiethnic age. The laws must be quickly changed. It is the senior age. The field must quickly be changed. It is the delivery age. The systems must quickly be changed. Otherwise, people delivering packages die. A few accidents occur, and only then do they hold meetings… Do they not know? They must prepare. Just like this.

David already realized this. Not a single thing failed to become a blessing. Even his sins—when he repented, God blessed even that. David said, “I have sinned before the Lord.” God blessed even that. God blesses all things. Absolutely. There is much evidence.

Hebrews 11:38
All the people in Hebrews 11 are witnesses. It looked like they suffered, but it was not so. Do not be deceived. It may look like hardships are coming, but it is not so. That is why verse 38 says, “The world was not worthy of them.” That means they overcame the world. That means they were not deceived by the world.

Paul
Especially the one who received the most answers was Paul. But he also suffered the most. The words he used the most were Christ and thanksgiving. Whatever the situation, wherever it was—Christ, thanksgiving. The blessing of changing the world took place.

▣ Main: The age of crisis (6:1-7)
The early church was, in history—not only in church history but in all history—at the greatest age of crisis. Never before had innocent people been executed in such a way. Crucifixion was used for mass murderers or tyrants. Not even war criminals were treated that way. Crucifixion was the punishment of extreme criminals. Yet they crucified them. A legally dangerous time had been created. But this was the greatest timetable. At this time church leaders arose. It says they were “full of faith,” “full of the Holy Spirit,” and “full of wisdom.” When such men were set up, “a large number of priests became obedient to the faith.”

Agitation [ Answer that changes the age ]
First. The powerful kept stirring up agitation. If powerless people stir up trouble, it is not a problem. But when powerful people agitate continually, then those watching will all fall away. Yet God gave answers to change the age. Absolutely.

Atmosphere of threats [ True disciples ]
Second. The atmosphere was terrifying. It was an atmosphere of complete threat. They did not know when they might be killed. But at that time, the Bible says true disciples arose. Indeed, those who appeared at that time were true disciples.

Those chased [ Future – World evangelization ]
It did not end there. They were weak, powerless, and pursued. They became chased people. But amazingly, God entrusted them with the future and with world evangelization. To people, it looked like they were fleeing. But to God, they were conquering. The ones who looked like fugitives were the ones who conquered the world. Exactly in this way, world evangelization arose.

Evidence must be given, so you must believe.

Agitation [ Answer that changes the age ]
How far did it go?

Extreme execution
They crucified them, nailing them to the cross in extreme execution.

Legal edict
Then legally they issued edicts: “Do not preach the gospel. Do not say Jesus rose. It is unsettling, so stop. Do not say Christ. Do not say ‘Lord.’ ‘Lord’ means king.” In this way.

Persecution by religionists
And religionists also persecuted them. Who were the religionists? The Pharisees, scribes, and priests. These joined in the persecution.

Merchants persecuted
Merchants also persecuted. “Because of those people, our business is harmed. Leave. Do not come.” In this way.

Rome persecuted
Rome persecuted them. Roman persecution especially said, “Do not use the word ‘Lord.’” In Greek “Kyrios.” Kyrios was only for Caesar. If they used it, they were executed. Yet it did not matter. The gospel can never be stopped. The Word has never ceased. The age was changed. Later even Rome itself was conquered.

Atmosphere of threats [ True disciples ]
The threats were intense. The ones fleeing…

Acts 11:19-30
At that time the Antioch Church was born. “Those who had been scattered by the persecution in connection with Stephen…” it says. What would you have done? Maybe not you, but many would flee. If it is boring, they flee. All would flee. But these people gathered. Do not miss this.

Acts 12:1-25
Then greater hardships came. At this time all the believers, especially the church leaders, gathered together for one accord prayer. One accord prayer always brings miracles. In Korea’s national crisis, the president even fled to Busan. At that time pastors and elders truly prayed in oneness. Miracles happened. In the early church, the church leaders all gathered before God and prayed in agreement. It was true prayer, not program prayer. That very night God sent His angel and took Herod’s life. To take Herod, no army was needed. If God calls, he is gone. At that time, only true disciples gathered.

Acts 13:1
And then, as you know, Paul returned. Paul, who had gone to persecute Christians, became a believer himself. As I said before, it is like Kim Jong Un coming to South Korea and becoming a Korean. It was shocking. Then a special group was formed to capture or kill Paul. A legal team was formed for this. Yet at that time Paul was formally commissioned as a missionary. What a shocking story. Why? Because true disciples gathered at that time. There is no need to worry.

Those chased [ Future – World evangelization ]
The very fact they were chased was a critical word. You must remember this.

Remnant
The word remnant has two meanings in English. Those left behind. Those who remain. Both are correct. They looked like abandoned ones, but were the remaining ones. They looked like fugitives, but were the scattered ones. Not runaways, but the ones sent out. They turned the world upside down. World evangelization happened.

Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:21
At that time the Holy Spirit perfectly guided. The doors were opened. It was not that the doors were shut. It was to open new doors that they were guided to Macedonia, to Rome. This history arose.

So always turn every problem into a blessing. It will be made so. At your company, make it into a blessing. Make your workplace into a blessing. Go to the failures, and make them blessings.

Do you not already know? A young man began with nothing. But then he had an accident. He tried to survive, but another accident happened. He built a small factory, but it burned down in a fire. So he went to a wealthy elder. “Everything is gone, only the land remains. Please let me borrow money with the land as collateral.” But that elder said, “You need no collateral. You yourself are the collateral. I will lend you.” Those words gave the man strength. Indeed. That one word. The accident was not an accident. That young man was Chung Ju Yung, who later greatly helped Korea. We must have eyes to see. Do not say, “That young man made a mistake and failed.” The wise elder saw correctly: “I will lend to you. You yourself are the guarantee.”

Wanderers (A.D. 70)
The early church members looked like chased wanderers. But later what happened? In A.D. 70 a great event occurred. Wanderers arose. From then, through these wanderers, the gospel spread worldwide. At that time the remnants were used.

Now, what problem are you carrying? Do not worry. If you worry, your body and spirit will be harmed. Give thanks and entrust to God. God is surely the God who blesses. People have described God wrongly, like some strange spirit. But God is the Creator. Because people misunderstood, Jesus gave parables. Three parables. “The shepherd left 99 sheep to find the one lost.” “A woman lost a coin and searched until she found it.” “A son squandered his inheritance and became a beggar, but the father waited every day for his return.” Jesus gave these parables. People misunderstood God as a tyrant. But when the son became a beggar, so poor he could not be recognized, the father still recognized him. The Bible says, “While he was still a long way off,” the father recognized him. This means the father waited every day. God knows your weakness. That is why He promised the filling of the Holy Spirit.

▣ Conclusion

Reality (selfishness)
Do not be deceived by reality. Reality is selfishness. All reality is explained in terms of selfishness. Do not be deceived.

Fact (atmosphere)
More important than reality is fact. But fact itself is not truth. It is atmosphere. Is atmosphere truth?

Truth (frame)
Beyond that is truth. But even truth, if from man, cannot be trusted. That too is a frame. Do you know the word frame? Pre-arranged mold. It is like that.

Spiritual fact (disaster)
We must see spiritual fact. We must save all of them equally. We must see the spiritual fact that they may face disaster, and do our role.

God’s plan (salvation)
Then what is God’s plan? You can see it. God’s plan is surely to bring them to salvation. That is all we must do. Those who will be saved are guided by the Holy Spirit.

So quickly conclude. All problems are blessings. Are they not? Confirm it historically. All incidents are blessings. You must make them so. All crises are blessings. History is so. The Bible says so. That is the power of the gospel.

Prayer. Let this week also be a week of many answers. Let my problems become blessings. Let my worries become praise. Let my crisis become opportunity. Let it become God’s opportunity. Let the works that save many people arise. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
