The 28th WRC: Opening Address

Pastor Ryu Kwang Su · July 29, 2025 · BEXCO, Busan, Korea

Welcome to all of our evangelists who have come from across the nation and the world. Have you ever been to where the 5,000 tribes live? They don’t even wear shoes. There’s no water. Some places are so hot that even the grass withers and dies. They can’t even spend one dollar a month. That’s why you can’t go to them. If you did, you’d die in three days. These places are completely engulfed in darkness. Every kind of problem originates there. One-third of these 5,000 tribes are in Africa. Another third are in South America. The remaining third is in Southeast Asia. That’s why places like Vanuatu, Fiji, and the Solomon Islands are so important.

Today, at this conference, you must begin with one question: Christ has commanded us to evangelize the world—then where am I in that plan? You must ask this question. Also, what kind of answer will I receive this time? You must resolve. Joseph’s brothers, who only cared about food, could not receive any answer. At that time, Joseph resolved world evangelization, and all the answers naturally followed. You must hold on to that.

King Saul only knew how to win battles. That’s why he died while fighting. But David, during that same time, resolved to raise 1,000 bartizans and the global bartizan, and to prepare for the temple. Let me give you one more example. Israel had become a colony of Rome. Yet the Jews thought they had succeeded by securing their position. They mistook what was not a blessing for a blessing. At that time, Paul was the one who gave everything up and came out. That’s why I always ask short questions wherever I go.

And something amazing happened. When I entered the seminary, I asked a question: “Do I have to become a pastor too? Do I have to attend seminary?” My mother kept telling me to become a pastor—should I? I asked that question, and through it, I came to understand what evangelism truly is. Wherever I go, I ask: “What is my evangelism?” You must ask that question. I’ve seen countless, indescribable answers.

On a flight returning from the U.S., I asked a question. In America, they were constantly fighting over right and wrong, arguing about whose fault it was. I realized then how difficult things were. The word I held onto at that moment was Isaiah 6:13. Isaiah said, “Here am I. Send me.” And God said, “The holy seed is the stump.” He was talking about the remnant. Holding onto that covenant, I’ve come to this 28th World Remnant Conference.

I looked at a monitor and resolved. That was Bill Gates. He conquered the world. You must resolve. A person went to someone’s house, saw an organ, and resolved. Who was that? Handel. You must resolve.

So, at this Remnant Conference, just ask yourself: “What covenant will I hold onto and take with me?” You only need to ask a short question. Even during the remaining time today, just ask a short question. A few years later, you’ll be amazed.

I went to Gyeonggi Province and asked: “How should I evangelize here?” The answer: “I must train evangelists.” That became what is now Immanuel Seoul Church. I went to Deokpyeong in Gyeonggi Province and asked: “How should I evangelize here?” God gave us the RUTC training center in the Deokpyeong region.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, that a significant question would begin in you through this event. Let us give glory to God for our gathering. Thank you.

A Church God Desires

Colossians 1:3-5. We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you, 4 because we have heard of your faith in Christ Jesus and of the love you have for all God’s people— 5 the faith and love that spring from the hope stored up for you in heaven and about which you have already heard in the true message of the gospel.

We are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of His household. We are the church, being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by His Spirit (Ephesians 2:20-22). We live every day in the identity Christ has given us.

This means the church is not just a place we go to on Sundays—it is who we are, every moment of every day. When you go to work, you are the church. When you’re with your family, you are the church. When you’re alone, you are still the church, carrying the presence of the living God.

We must be careful not to grieve the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30). The way we treat one another, the words we speak, the thoughts we hold—these are not small matters. In the church, we must put off all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander. Instead, we must be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave us.

Above all, we must love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). Love is the true foundation of the church. Without love, even truth becomes a weapon; even ministry becomes burdensome. But when we truly grasp how Christ has loved us, our hearts will be moved with compassion for the lost and the weak, and our lives will become living testimonies of the gospel.

As the church, we do not fight against people, but against spiritual forces of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). The devil knows the power of a church that is united in Christ. That is why he constantly tries to sow discord, jealousy, and division. But if we hold to the gospel—if we fix our eyes on Christ and pray together—no power of hell can stand against the church.

In this generation, God is calling His church to return to the true message of the gospel—that Jesus is the Christ—to restore the true altar of worship, recover the power of prayer, and reach the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes with the message of the cross. Each member is essential. Every believer has a role. There is no one too weak or unimportant in the body of Christ. God delights in using what the world considers weak to shame the strong (1 Corinthians 1:27).

So today, ask God to use you in His church. Not according to your ability, but by His grace. Offer your heart, your time, your gifts. Let your daily life be a platform for Christ’s glory. Through you, may people see the power of the gospel and be drawn to the Savior.

And let us not give up meeting together. Let us encourage one another daily, and stir up one another to love and good deeds (Hebrews 10:25). Let the church grow—not only in number, but in faith, love, and hope.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for the love that covers all sins. Help me love deeply, forgive fully, and serve Your church with joy. May our church be filled with Your Spirit and shine as a light in this generation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Let Jesus Reign Over You

Acts 1:4-11. On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”

6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”

7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight.

10 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.”

When Jesus reigns over your life, nothing can shake you. You will stand firm in faith, rooted in the One who is the Christ—your true Lord and Savior.

The power of Satan will no longer have any hold over you. The curse of sin will be broken once and for all. You will begin to live the life of heaven here on earth. This is the life of victory and peace that unfolds when Jesus becomes the Christ—the reigning King of your life.

Jesus rules not with oppression but with love, grace, and mercy. His lordship brings rest and peace. His commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), and He invites you, saying, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28–30).

When Jesus reigns, He fills you with the greatest power—the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5). This is not optional, because you cannot overcome the world, sin, or Satan’s strategies with your old way of thinking, sinful nature, or worldly patterns. Only by the power of the Holy Spirit can you receive a new heart and a new vessel to contain the heavenly blessings Jesus has prepared for you.

Jesus desires to transform you by His grace, not only to renew your heart but to make you a vessel of blessing to others. His grace is not just for personal healing but for equipping you to reflect His love, truth, and compassion in a broken world. As you continue to seek His grace and yield yourself daily to His lordship, He will reshape your thoughts, desires, and actions to align with His perfect will.

Jesus also called you with an extraordinary purpose. He wants to take you on a journey to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). He wants you to see and experience what He finished through the cross and the resurrection. He wants you to witness firsthand how powerless Satan truly is before the risen Christ and before those who confess and believe in Him.

Jesus wants you to understand why He is the only way and the only answer. He could carry out His work without you, but He has included you in His plan to save the nations. He calls you to be part of His team because He loves you.

The more you experience His love, grace, and mercy, the more your heart will align with what matters most to Him—evangelism and missions. You will begin to see the world through His eyes and long for the salvation of others.

He has also promised to return. He will come again and bring all things under His authority (Acts 1:11). This will be fulfilled when the gospel is preached to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). Then, He will establish His kingdom and reign in righteousness and justice (Isaiah 32:1). This is the eternal hope we hold in Christ.

Therefore, do not worry about anything or be discouraged by anyone. Wait eagerly for His return and walk faithfully in the covenant journey He has prepared for you. Rediscover His will for your life. Lay down your own thoughts, your ways, and your ambitions. Align your desires and plans with His.

When you lose sight of God’s will, you will only focus on your problems. In every situation, pause and ask, “Lord, if you are willing” (Matthew 8:2). Change the pattern of your prayer by seeking first His kingdom and His righteousness. Let Jesus rule your life in His kingdom.

Prayer. Lord Jesus, govern all my thoughts and all my ways. I lay down my own desires and plans before You. Lead me in the path of righteousness. In Your precious name I pray, amen.

Prayer of the Week: July 27, 2025

Father, I thank You for preparing our remnants as a shepherd for the future, filling them with Your Spirit, and raising them as a spiritual summit.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Missions That Blocks the History of Disasters – The Main Figure of History that Saves the Past

2025.07.27 District Message 30th Week
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1, 3, 8

▣ Introduction_ Ask the question: The blessing and my portion to receive at WRC
Long ago, when we went to Taiwan for evangelism, something strange happened. While looking for directions, our team accidentally entered a Buddhist temple. And there, a conversation happened. The head monk of that temple accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior that very day. He spoke honestly. No matter what he did, his spiritual problems couldn’t be resolved. He literally saw and experienced demons appearing. But the moment he accepted Jesus, it was resolved.
So he began holding Darakbang secretly, but was caught by a Buddhist follower and had some issues. At that time, since he was still in the temple, when Buddhist followers came, he would perform rituals for them at the front, then go to the back and hold Darakbang. That’s what happened.
There’s also a head monk in Busan, right? We need to really support him well. He also couldn’t solve his problems. So this person came to the answer of only Christ.

Why am I saying this? The world keeps advancing, but there’s one thing that doesn’t work. We’re developing rapidly. In the past, there wasn’t even one phone in a house. It was one per village. But now you don’t even need a home phone. Everyone carries a mobile phone. At the airport waiting lounge, a family of four sits together but doesn’t speak. All four stare at their own devices. Technology will continue to advance. Now we’re at a point where everything is inside the phone. But there’s just one thing that doesn’t get solved—spiritual problems and disasters. They never disappear. They get worse every year. In the U.S., it has become even more severe. In the past, people with spiritual or mental issues mostly stayed in parks. Now they roam the streets. Some even ride around in carts similar to bicycles. Japan is also seeing a dramatic rise. There’s no solution.

The problem is, you don’t believe that the darkness collapses wherever you go.
Isaiah 60:1–2
“Arise, shine, for your light has come.” And what does it say next? “The glory of the Lord rises upon you.” Because you don’t believe this, the darkness will never leave you. Why would it leave if you don’t believe? What happens then? Even though you are saved, if you do not believe in this light and instead believe in darkness, problems occur.
Matthew 5:13–16
Jesus said, “You are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. But would you hide a lamp under a bowl? Put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.” Jesus said this.
The evil spirits—especially Satan, the father of lies—know you well. Right? That’s why the Bible says: don’t grumble, don’t be angry. What does Ephesians 4:27 say? “Do not give the devil a foothold.” He looks for an opening. But Paul said, “Do not be anxious about anything.”
Peter said this in 1 Peter: “Cast all your anxiety on Him.” Then he added, “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.”
There’s no reason to be afraid—but people are. 1 John 4:18–19 says, “Fear has to do with punishment.”
In Job 3:25, Job’s area of fear is exactly what Satan touched. Don’t be deceived. It’s okay. Even if a Remnant falls, it’s okay. Just get back up. There’s no need to be shaken because of that. Just rise again. We must erase all the darkness.

“The One Who Blocks Disasters”
That’s what we call disaster. We must block it. The one who blocks disaster is you. Doing this is disaster-blocking missions.

There’s something interesting. God gave the gospel first to the Jews. Why? Because geographically, they are at the center. But they became arrogant. They became spiritually distorted. “The Lord is our God.” “The Messiah is our national Messiah.”
It’s like developing a cure and refusing to share it—keeping it to themselves. The Jews were gravely mistaken. Ironically, the nation that suffered the most disasters was Israel. Right?

▣ Introduction_ The Jews
To what extent did they suffer disaster? Other things aside—your descendants suffering is the greatest disaster. Right?
Recently, even our shaman team came to greet me. I told them, “Even if it costs you your bones, never pass down this spiritual problem to your children.” The most miserable thing is for your descendants to be seized by Satan. There’s nothing more tragic than that. Right? That’s total disaster.
To what extent? Millions died overseas. Even that could be overlooked. But in Germany, when a new gun was developed, soldiers tested it by shooting Jews—like target practice. Because they weren’t even considered human. What would you do if that were your descendants? But it didn’t stop there.
Children were locked in iron cages in rooms and taken out one by one for experiments. They waited in terror, knowing they were going to die. They were dissected and studied. That’s the extent of disaster their descendants suffered. Why? You must know.

1. Original sin
The Jews didn’t know what original sin was. What is original sin? It’s Genesis 3, 6, and 11—leaving God.
1) The trap (3, 6, 11)
Why is it a trap? Because it says, “You can become great. You can be like God.” It’s the same thing as “You can become Buddha. Just receive the spirit—you’ll have power.” That’s been Satan’s trap from the beginning until now. That’s the Garden of Eden incident.
Even now, New Age teaches, “You will become like God.” And they teach immense doctrines.
What about the Freemasons? They meet every day. You know how we gather for early morning worship on Sundays? They meet daily. And they perform possession rituals—Freemasons. That’s Genesis 6. The Nephilim.
And then? They believe they’ve achieved tremendous success. But that’s the soon-to-collapse Tower of Babel. That’s how they’re being led.

2) The frame (Acts 13, 16, 19)
So what happens? More and more disasters come over time. Darkness covers them. They become desperate. Then what do they do? They go to shamans. They go to fortune-tellers. They turn to idol worship. That becomes their frame. The frame.
That’s Acts chapter 13, 16, and 19. You must know this and shine the light. You must believe that you are the light. You must believe that you are the one who proclaims the light of Christ.
If you don’t believe that, Satan knows it well. He whispers, “Don’t believe. You’re nothing special. You’re worthless.” That’s what we call depression.
On the other hand, someone says, “You don’t know who I am. I’m a big deal.” That’s called bipolar disorder.
Then there are those who go around hitting others, while others just blame themselves continuously. That’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.
Sometimes nothing is happening at all, but they panic. “I can’t get on this plane.” That’s panic disorder.
This is how people end up trapped in the frame. If it stopped there, fine. But Satan sets a trap, then builds a frame around it, and then ties them up even more from the inside.

3) The snare (6 kinds)
Then they get tied up in a snare. At this point, they must obey what the devil says. Your father, the devil—you must do as he says.
You must do what demons say. What’s their goal? To destroy. What’s their method? Lies. “If you offer a ritual, your mother will come.” Nonsense.
The Bible says that’s impossible. That’s a demon mimicking your mother. Right? That’s how they deceive people.
Reincarnation? That’s all a deception. And with that, they trap people in a snare.
So spiritual problems grow day by day. But it doesn’t stop there. As the spiritual problems accumulate, they begin to experience physical illness. Right?
And by that point, it’s been a long time. But even before going to hell, life on earth becomes hell. Because they’re headed for hell.
Then what happens? All of this gets passed on to the next generation. The six snares. Without a doubt.
Twelve problems in total. Those who don’t understand this don’t understand original sin.

2. Salvation
Then, they don’t know what salvation is. Salvation is becoming a child of God. What is salvation? It is complete liberation from the background of hell.
1) The background of hell
What is salvation? It is becoming a child of God. It is liberation from disaster.
2) Disaster
“You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
You must clearly explain this to unbelievers.
3) Satan
It is liberation from Satan.

3. Spiritual facts
So the Jews had no understanding of spiritual facts. All they did was focus on physical things—what to eat, money, positions, material things.
So what happened?
1) Bartizan
Satan’s bartizan was erected completely.
2) Fortress
There’s a lot we could mention, but in Galatians chapter 2, it says Satan’s fortress formed—within believers. Jesus was speaking to believers.
You must understand why answers do not come. This must be removed before healing can occur. If this remains, healing is impossible.
Don’t try to heal—this must be uprooted completely. Right? For immediate treatment, doctors can help.
If you’re spiritually afflicted, go see a doctor, take the medicine they prescribe, and keep challenging yourself. Right? But you can’t receive fundamental healing there.
You must uproot this entirely.
3) John 16:11–14, 2 Corinthians 4:4–5
You see, Satan acts like a ruler. He’s like a king.
In 2 Corinthians 4:4–5, it says he claims to be a god. That’s how he infiltrates.
“Arise, shine.” Believe it.
Why is resolution important? Because all of this (the introduction) is already known. God knows it better.
If you get sick, Satan will try to shake you. But God knows, and He gives you even greater grace.
Our life is in God’s hands. It is not in Satan’s hands. It is in God’s hands.
Why was I born in Korea? Because it was in God’s plan.
The Jews didn’t know this—and that’s why they were struck with disaster.

▣ Main message
Then what should we do?

1. What to throw away
Jesus spoke of several things to throw away.
2. What to establish
Then He spoke of what must be established.
3. What to challenge
And since we must save others, He spoke of what we must challenge.

I’ll just reference the Scripture verses:

1. What to throw away
1) The Sermon on the Mount
In the Bible, Jesus took His disciples and the crowds up a mountain. Right? That’s why it’s called the Sermon on the Mount—because He taught these words on the mountain.
There, Jesus taught great truth: “You, now colonized, how is it a blessing to gain a position by flattering Rome or King Herod?”
Right? “Those who mourn are blessed.” That’s true.
“Those who are persecuted are more blessed. Becoming a child who enters the kingdom of God—that is the true blessing.”
On the mountain, He said: “Prayer? Asking for this and that isn’t prayer. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. That’s true prayer.”
In chapter 7, what does it say? Life of faith, worship. “Going to church and saying this is right, that is wrong, you’re right or wrong—that’s not worship. Be reconciled and then worship.”
He taught those three things.

2) Caesarea Philippi
After that, at Caesarea Philippi, He asked, “Who do people say I am?”
They said He was like Elijah. Like John the Baptist. Like Jeremiah. Like one of the prophets. All were wrong. Those thoughts must be thrown away.

3) Mount of Transfiguration
After the confession of faith, they went to the Mount of Transfiguration, and they said, “Let us build shelters for Moses, Elijah, and Christ.”
That was wrong. Elijah was saved by believing in the coming Christ. So was Moses.
Building a house for them all equally is absurd. They didn’t understand.

[The Counselor]
Then Jesus made a promise: “Do not worry about anything. There is a way to overcome everything.” He promised clearly. This was His final promise:
“I will send you the Holy Spirit, the Counselor.” That was Jesus’ promise.
Why is He called the Counselor? Because He protects, gives grace, and teaches.
He said He would send Him. John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13.

2. What to establish
So then He spoke of what to establish.
1) Bartizan
Now establish the bartizan of God.
2) Journey
Go on your journey with the power of the throne.
3) Guidepost
Now, with the power of the throne, erect monuments. Leave behind guideposts for the next generation. That’s what He said.

3. What to challenge
Then what should we do? We challenge.

1) Acts 1:14
This is important. They made a resolution.
They knew that gathering there could mean death. It didn’t matter.
Because they had been labeled a cult, legally, they might be arrested for going there.
It didn’t matter. “They all joined together constantly in prayer.” That’s where works arose.
Do not be afraid.

2) Acts 2:17–18
They prayed—and what came? “Your sons and daughters will prophesy”—meaning, your children will hold to the Word.
“Your young men will see visions,” and even “your old men will dream dreams,” He said.

3) Acts 2:42
They simply worshiped—and works arose.

That’s all.

▣ Conclusion
[Throne]
So whenever you pray, the power of the throne that cannot be seen appears. In worship and in prayer.
[Kingdom]
Then the answer flows in. God’s kingdom comes. While you are worshiping here.
[Work]
Then fulfillment happens. Tangible fulfillment. The works of the kingdom of God. It is fulfilled like this.

It doesn’t all happen immediately. The answer comes now, but the fulfillment will come later.
If you don’t eat anything, you won’t die right away. Right?
Eventually, your body will become depleted and you’ll die.
Receiving the answer works like this (conclusion).

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, that this day of worship becomes a day of healing. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May we receive new grace today. May we receive new strength. May we receive new answers.
In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

 

The Main Figure of the Dothan Movement

2025.07.27 Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 6:8-19

This week’s Remnant Conference will make us the main figures of the Dothan Movement. This is because it contains content that Remnants absolutely must know. Let me ask you just one question. This is something even Japanese people should understand to some extent. Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol opposed shrine worship. That has been interpreted in various ways, but those interpretations are wrong. People are interpreting it however they want. How did the Japanese view it? “Why won’t you do what the government requires?” That was the question. From one perspective, their argument makes sense. Since Korea was a vassal state of Japan, they insisted Koreans should do as they said. And all religions complied. Buddhism, being familiar with bowing, complied quickly. Even the Korean church said, “Let’s do it.” So they did it. Why? Because they were under that law. Then why did Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol refuse? Because the General Assembly made a decision, so he fought against it? No. Because Japan forced it, so he fought? No. That’s not it. They even made a movie about it, but they made it wrong. Descendants hold commemorative events, but that wasn’t what Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol was about. It was because of the command found only in the Bible: “Do not worship idols.” It means we must not bring idols into the church and worship them.

▣ Introduction_ Spiritual flow
So, if you really want to be used by God, you must know the spiritual flow. Just being diligent doesn’t mean you’ll be used. There are people in the Bible who were used. Take a close look. If God has placed you in America, what should you really be seeing there? The spiritual flow. And if you truly want to save Japan, what must you look at? The spiritual flow. So why is it that only the Bible strictly forbids idol worship? Why not just do it? Buddhism says to do it. All religions tell you to do it. Why does the Bible alone forbid it?

1. Satan’s strategy of destruction
It’s Satan’s strategy of destruction. That’s why God forbids it. Shall I give you immediate evidence? Go home, place a towel somewhere, hang it on the wall, light a candle, and bow to it continually—you will experience the work of evil spirits. Is that an answer? No, it’s dangerous. That’s why you must not do it. If you make something and keep bowing to it, it will move. That’s the work of demons. Don’t shamans gain power when they perform their rituals? Yes, but that’s demonic power. The purpose is ultimately destruction. How? In very appealing language. In Eden: “You will be like God.” It starts with attractive words. Then it moves to: “If you receive a spirit, you will be like the Nephilim. Build the Tower of Babel and succeed.” That’s how destruction begins. But that doesn’t work forever, so it continues to drag you.

Where did the difference first appear? Acts 13—it starts with a shaman. You are led away. Then where do you go? To shamans, fortune-tellers—Acts 16. Then what? Make idols and bow to them—Acts 19. You end up continually dragged by Satan. You’re supposed to be led by God, but you’re being dragged by Satan—John 8:44. As a result, you fall ill in heart—Matthew 11:28. Then comes mental illness—Mark 5:1–10. Then physical illness—Acts 8:4–8. Then complete hell, even before you die—Luke 16:19–31. Even worse, it passes on to your children—Matthew 27:25. But it doesn’t end there.

In every age, Satan enters the heart of the king. Right? Evil spirits who hold powers, rulers, and authorities enter. They dominate the nations and tell them to bow to the idols of Egypt. Right? The Philistines bring out their representative, Goliath, and say, “Let’s fight in the name of the Philistine gods.” Then King Ahab marries Jezebel, who brings in idols from around the world. Right? He places 850 false prophets in the palace. The king of Babylon makes a giant idol and tells everyone to bow to it. Why? Because they don’t know this strategy of destruction. They think, “If we make everyone bow, we’ll gain political power.” That’s why they did it.

It’s the same. Japan was a superpower at that time. They took over a country and said, “Koreans must submit. Gather your spirit. Bow.” That’s why Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol said no. When did he say no? After hearing that, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Korea made a decision: “Bowing at the shrine is obeying national law. We have no reason to oppose. Okay.” They passed it. The person who passed it was Hong Taek-Gi. There are many schools in Busan with the character ‘Sung’ (성) in the name. The chairman of one such school, Pastor Kim Gil-Chang, took Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol to perform shrine worship. Right there, Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol said “No!” “We cannot do it. We cannot bow to idols.” That’s why he was arrested. You can imagine the rest. “Tell us the organization. Who is helping you? What group are you with?” They kept beating him, and he died. Was it over? No. God turned Korea into a nation of world missions.

So there was a misunderstanding. Even now, Satan’s strategy of destruction is coming to you persistently. If your eyes don’t open to this, you won’t see it. In America, the three organizations are fully active. You can’t win. There are a lot of people in America. When your kids go to America, they’ll all follow. I personally think Japan is more rational than America. Their belief is that all religions are the same. All spirits are the same. Is that true? That belief permeates everything. Then spiritual problems will come in like a flood. Who will stop it? In Korea, nearly 40% are suffering from depression or mental illness. Some make guns and shoot their own sons. What can’t a deranged person do? Killing spouses, parents—it’s happening. We are entering an age of mental illness. At such times, those who realize this are the ones who are used.

2. Exodus 5:1–12:46
“Moses, go offer the blood sacrifice. Tear down all the cultural darkness of Egypt.” That’s the ten plagues.

3. Idol-worshiping nations
This has happened in every era. Now let’s set that aside and look at today’s main passage. At some point, Israel turned into an idol-worshiping nation. King Ahab did not realize how dangerous idol worship was. The country turned into an idol nation. As you know, 850 false prophets were brought in, and the true prophets were killed. A man named Obadiah hid 100 prophets.

Mount Carmel
This is when the incident on Mount Carmel occurred. Elijah made a proposal: “Let’s determine whether the false prophets or we are true. Let’s face off on Mount Carmel.” King Ahab agreed. He couldn’t refuse. Who carried out the task? Obadiah, Elijah’s disciple and a servant of the king. So he conveyed the message: “Let’s see whose god is the true God.” The king couldn’t say no. That day, 850 false prophets were executed.

But the real problem wasn’t King Ahab—it was Jezebel, his wife. Through the king, she issued an order: “Capture Elijah immediately and execute him.” So Elijah fled. He was in a rush and ran until he collapsed. He collapsed under a broom tree. Under that broom tree, Elijah said, “God, I can’t do this anymore. I’ve done my best, but now death is approaching.” At that moment, God sent a special angel to give him strength. He was strengthened and walked for 40 days and nights. Where did he go?

Mount Horeb
He arrived at Mount Horeb. God did not speak through wind or earthquake, but through a gentle whisper. There, God gave Elijah important messages. First, “Do not be afraid; I will replace the king.” Second, “You are not alone—7,000 disciples remain.” Third, “Appoint Elisha. He will do important work.” It was then that Elisha was called.

[1 Kings 19:19–21]
This calling is found in verses 19–21. He burned all his farming equipment and followed. He removed any possibility of returning. As I mentioned last week, in the past, soldiers going to war would burn the ships they arrived in. Why? To say, “I will not retreat. I will either die or end this here.” Elisha’s movement was tremendous.

▣ Main point
1. 1 Kings 19:19–21 [Heavenly mandate]
First, the calling Elisha received on Mount Horeb in 1 Kings 19:19–21 was his heavenly mandate. What was the heavenly mandate?

1) 1 Kings 18:1–15
In 1 Kings 18:1–15, we see that during the crisis, a church leader named Obadiah hid 100 prophets. That changed the age.

2) 1 Kings 18:25–46
Then in 1 Kings 18:25–46, he faced off against the false prophets of Baal and Asherah and achieved complete spiritual victory.

3) 1 Kings 19:1–21
Then in 1 Kings 19:1–21, God led Elijah to Mount Horeb and gave him His word. At that time, Elisha was the one called. This is different. He was called in the greatest crisis. Not by calculation. He was called before the covenant of God. Would you go if it were you? It was dangerous. He could be arrested. The king had blocked the way. Yet he was called as a disciple and gave up everything to follow.

Our Remnants do not need other kinds of courage. You need courage to follow the Word. Don’t go around being stubborn—you’ll get beaten. Follow the Word. It’s hard. Why? Because it looks like a great loss to go that way. But he took it as his heavenly mandate. If it’s God’s plan, even if it seems disadvantageous, it becomes a heavenly mandate. Understand? Our Remnants from America, Japan, and advanced countries in Europe must open their spiritual eyes. If someone living in America doesn’t know the flow of America, how can they truly live there? That doesn’t make sense.

What about Europe now? Young people don’t even go to church anymore. It’s over. Drugs are no longer prosecuted. They’ve stopped cracking down. Why? Because they’d have to arrest everyone. Even the police would be arrested. It doesn’t work. It’s worse than that. A student asked, “Pastor, is homosexuality wrong?” It’s not a crime. It’s not a criminal act. But spiritually, it’s a problem. That must be made clear. It’s not a crime, but spiritually, it is a problem. It’s not that there are many homosexuals. In one European school, every student was homosexual. That’s an extreme case. The entire school. He wasn’t the only one. That’s the kind of era we’re in. But the spiritual flow is the same. Elisha made his resolution in that kind of time.

2. 2 Kings 2:9–11 [Calling]
The more important resolution is the second. What was it? The generation was finally changing, and Elisha was to be raised as a new leader. But people began to waver. Everyone started seeking their own interests and positions. They sought places like Gilgal, Jericho, Jordan, and Bethel. But there was one person who didn’t. That was Elisha. That’s what we call a calling.

1) No calculation
Elisha didn’t calculate anything.

2) No concern for position
Elisha didn’t care about his status.

3) Covenantal relationship
What was it? He entered a covenantal relationship with God. What did he say? “Let me receive a double portion of your spirit. I don’t need anything else. Just give me a double portion of your spirit.” He asked correctly. Elijah said, “You ask for a difficult thing. But do not give up—follow me to the end.” When they crossed the Jordan, a tremendous power was passed down. Calling. But that wasn’t the end.

3. 2 Kings 6:8–24 [Mission]
At last, the Dothan Movement arose. That’s called mission.

1) Advance answer (vv. 8–13)
To what extent was Elisha empowered? God gave answers in advance. This is important. When you pray, how does God give advance answers? Whenever the Aramean army came to invade, Elisha already knew where they would come from. Right? When they came in hiding to kill Israel, Elisha already knew. So the Aramean army kept failing. They held a meeting. “Is there a spy among us? How do they keep knowing where we’ll be?” They didn’t understand the concept of advance answer from God. But one wise servant spoke up: “No, there’s someone in Israel who sees all our movements.” “Who is it?” “Elisha.” “Where is he?” “In Dothan.” The king of Aram ordered, “Surround Dothan and capture Elisha alive. Don’t kill him—bring him here.” So the Aramean army surrounded Dothan. Chaos broke out. The servant came out and saw the place surrounded. But Elisha prayed, “Lord, open this servant’s eyes.” His spiritual eyes were opened, and he saw that the heavenly armies surrounded them—not a problem at all.

2) Background (vv. 14–16)
That’s verses 14 to 16. Your background. If you don’t believe it, then don’t. But I believe it. Can you believe that heavenly armies protect the places you go? I believe there is nothing else more important. Right? That wherever you and your children go, God sends heavenly armies to fulfill His plan—if you don’t believe that, throw out the Bible.

3) Victory without fighting (vv. 17–23)
And you know—they won without fighting. That’s verses 17 to 23. Elisha prayed, “Lord, strike the Aramean army with blindness.” He was a man of prayer. Their eyes went blind. He led them away while they were blind. They thought, “We’re finished.” Where did he take them? He led them to Samaria and had them sit down. Then Elisha prayed again, “Lord, open their eyes.” When their eyes opened, they thought they were at the execution ground—but there was a feast laid out. “Eat and go home.” That was it. Then the king asked Elisha something. Previously the king had belittled the prophet, but now he said, “Father! What should I do with them?” Elisha said, “Let them live.” And they were sent home. The Bible records: “They did not invade again.” Right? They won without fighting. That’s our Remnant.

▣ Conclusion_ [Strength]
Remnants must build strength. God has promised strength. He promised you will receive power. Let me put it in English for our Remnants.

1. Power
He promised this strength. Power. I mentioned this yesterday. There is an even greater strength.

2. Tacit
There’s a word: Tacit. Tacit Knowledge means a kind of strength that can’t be identified. You can’t explain it. Tacit Knowledge. There’s an even greater strength than this.

3. Authority
It is the strength that comes from above. You need this strength. God promised it. A strength that comes down from above. There’s an even greater strength.

4. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
So I created a song to help you understand:
Heavenly power, Heavenly mission.
Thronely power, Thronely talent, Thronely mission.
Eternaly power, Eternaly talent, Eternaly mission.
I purposely combined these three into one song. There is an even greater strength.

5. Trinity
The Triune God has promised to be with you invisibly. Never be shaken. Never be discouraged—no matter what. Just know one thing.

Joseph was falsely accused and sold into slavery. Is that failure? From your perspective, it may look like failure. But it’s not. He became a slave. Is that failure? No. He succeeded there—300%. What does that mean? He was falsely imprisoned. Was that a disaster? No. It was the place where he met politicians. One day, he became prime minister. Was that success? No. If you see things that way, you’ll never have proper faith. It was neither failure nor success. It was all about standing in the place of world evangelization. It’s all like that. Remnants must remember.

“My family situation is bad.” Who said that means you can’t make it? “I have no background.” Who said that means you’re nothing? That’s not in the Bible. “I have no one to help me.” Who said that? God promised to be with you to the end of the age. And no one can take that from you. He works through the Holy Spirit invisibly. Right now, while you’re worshiping, God sends heavenly armies to surround and protect you.

Even physically, it’s the same. I once went to a presidential inauguration. I arrived a day early and stayed at a hotel in Yeouido. The police came. They apologized. Why? “This room faces the direction of the inauguration. Could you please keep your curtains closed?” I said, “Of course. I’m attending the event too.” They said, “Oh, I see.” Then I realized—there were armed police and soldiers on every rooftop. Nothing could go wrong. That reminded me of today’s passage. God mobilizes heavenly armies around you. If this sounds like nonsense, say nothing. But if you hear it as truth, say amen.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Give new strength to our Remnants. Let them hear not the voice of man, but the Word of God. Physical eyes are important, but open their spiritual eyes. Raise them as the main figures to save this age. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

The Bartizan of WRC David Prepared

2025.07.27 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: 1 Chronicles 29:10-14

▣ Introduction_ Ask the question: The blessing and my portion to receive at WRC
Thank you. This week is the WRC, the World Remnant Conference. You must confirm what blessing you are to receive. You must ask what your portion is at WRC. Many people go in the wrong direction because they never ask that question. So, they often ask, “What should I do?” That’s why even our parents, when educating their children, say, “What are you going to do?” Then the child thinks, “What should I be doing?” It’s not necessarily a wrong question, but when it becomes too extreme, many children end up with spiritual problems. “You have to do something. What are you going to do?” That’s the level of things, even at school. Teachers also ask, “What are you going to do? What must you do?” You must be cautious of this.

1. What God prepared for David
In today’s text, what did God prepare for David? That’s the question you must ask. At the very least, from what I can see, it appears that David had seven things prepared for him for a crucial era and his entire life.
1) Preparation for the future (Psalm 78)
While he was still a shepherd, if you look at Psalm 78, God had already prepared him for the future. It says he called him from among those who tend sheep to become one who guards the nation. Already from childhood.
2) Experience of the covenant and power
Secondly, he met the high priest Samuel. From that point, he began to experience the covenant and power.
3) Timetable for breaking darkness
It doesn’t stop there. His father sent him on an errand. That’s when the timetable for breaking darkness was fulfilled. The errands you assign your children are actually meant to break the darkness. David broke down Goliath.
4) Morning and evening prayer (Psalm 5:3, 17:3)
From that point, he began to face suffering of a different dimension. But David did not view that as suffering. He even said, “In the morning, You hear my voice.”
Also in the fifth instance, he said, “You examine me at night.”
5) The Lord is my Shepherd (Psalm 23)
In a place of great pain, he confessed, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” He said, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” He definitely walked through that valley. That’s how he described it. But he said, “I will fear no harm.” “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Even though I walk through the valley of death, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
6) The 1,000 bartizans
That’s not all. The sixth thing God prepared for David was that he finally built bartizans—1,000 of them.
7) Preparation of the temple to save the world
Lastly, He prepared David to build the temple that would save the world.

2. First pray to know what God’s plan is for your children.
What is God’s plan for our children? This is what we must first pray for. Why? Because they were born on this earth according to God’s plan. No matter what others say—even those who say they don’t believe in God—their lives are also taken by God.

3. 300% preparation (Psalm 78:70–72)
Then what is it that must be proclaimed to Remnants and prayed for during the WRC conference?
Psalm 78 speaks about David’s youth, doesn’t it? He was a shepherd at the time, and even in that youth, he was already 300% prepared. This is important. What does that mean?
1) 100% prayer
He was 100% prepared in prayer. How much did he pray while he was a shepherd? He had such spiritual power that when he praised, evil spirits fled. How much spiritual work occurred when young David prayed? The Bible tells us David wrote one-third of the Psalms. And if you look closely at what he wrote, you can clearly see that it was entirely within God’s Word. You can tell that the gospel concerning Christ was accurate.
Remnants must be armed with prayer as they go out.
2) 100% skill
That’s not all. He was also 100% prepared in skill, from a young age. How skilled was he? Why do I say 100%? Because he never lost a single sheep. You know, generally speaking, it’s possible to lose sheep. But he never lost even one. So much so that lions and bears came and snatched sheep away. But David was so skilled that he struck their vital points with a single blow. That’s no easy task. Isn’t that so? He was 100% skilled. He had prepared for this.
3) 100% future
That’s not all. Psalm 78:71 speaks of this. It shows that his preparation for the future was already 100% complete. This is what happens when you know the gospel and pray. This is what happens when you know prayer during your Remnant years.
What is truly heartbreaking is this: parents who do not teach these things to their children are very wicked parents. They will cause their children to suffer their entire lives. But it’s not too late. From an early age, they must know what the gospel and prayer are. They must study with that strength. Isn’t that right? What must happen then? The future must be prepared.

▣ Main message_ Standard
Then, as we pray during this WRC, we must ask: David was already 300% prepared from a young age—then how did he set the standard? There must be a standard, right? A standard.

1. Spiritual summit
First, David became a spiritual summit before entering the world. You must absolutely remember this. When our Remnants go out into the world, it’s already complicated. But he had become a spiritual summit. Although they’re young and cannot yet become presidents, spiritually they can. They can’t teach teachers or become kings, but spiritually, they are already kings.
While he was a shepherd, when others were wasting time, dozing off, being bored, he found everything there.
1) David, who was powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord after meeting Samuel
And he met the high priest. What does the Bible say? “From that day on”—that’s the phrase. After he met Samuel. “The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” This is important. Our Remnants must first have this power. You must believe.
2) David, who became such a spiritual summit that evil spirits fled when he praised
Even more importantly, it was known that he was good at praise from a young age, so King Saul called David. He called him to praise. It seems David was also very gifted in music. He played and praised at the same time. And the evil spirit that had clung to King Saul fled. That means evil spirits fled when he praised.
3) Remnants who became spiritual summits before entering the world
All Remnants were like this. Every Remnant who moved the world had already become a spiritual summit before entering the world. You must firmly hold onto this.
(1) Joseph
So, regarding Joseph, an unbeliever said, “I have never seen anyone in whom is the Spirit of God like this man. Why not make him Prime Minister?” The king recommended him. Who could stop that? Then the king said, “You shall govern all my people. No one will lift a hand or foot without your word.” The king said this. And he added, “The only thing that makes me greater than you is that I sit on the throne.” That’s what the king said. There is no greater blessing than when unbelievers look at your children and say, “Wow, this is a person moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” Right? That must come first—then study.
(2) Samuel
“Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” That’s what was said.
(3) David
Already while he was a shepherd, he developed both spirituality and intellect. While he was a shepherd, he developed both faith and skill. While tending sheep, he learned how to save the nation. That’s what the records show.
(4) Elisha
Elisha said such a thing. Everyone else was saying the wrong things—you must be careful of that. Even the prophetic disciples, the seminary students, the ministers of the Lord—they all said the wrong things. Elisha was so certain that he said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” He followed Elijah to the end, and eventually Elijah asked him a question and opened the way. “Why are you following me?” Elijah asked, knowing the answer. “What do you want?” Then Elisha answered, “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” That is this power. “Give me the power to become a spiritual summit.” Then there is nothing to fear. Even if problems come, it’s okay. Don’t try to resolve the problem within you. Just leave it. If you become a spiritual summit and gain spiritual power, the problems will disappear. Don’t try to eliminate them—they will disappear. If you truly receive the filling of the Holy Spirit, even your incompetence will flee.

2. Absolute bartizan
Second. What must you do? Through the church, our Remnants must discover the absolute bartizan. Right? Otherwise, it’s all in vain. Everything will be taken away, and you’ll end up serving the world’s errands.
1) The high priest Samuel who came to find David
This was something unthinkable at the time. The high priest Samuel came looking for David. This is the second key. Pastors must be people who can pray for the Remnants. Right? At the very least, they should feel, “Ah, I need to pray for this child.”
2) Samuel, who anointed David and spoke about the ark of the covenant, the covenant, and temple preparation
He came and anointed David. He must have explained the ark of the covenant. That’s what tormented Samuel the most, after all. He surely talked about temple preparation. There’s no need to even ask—he surely did.
3) David, who began to receive absolute power as the absolute bartizan was established
From that point, as the absolute bartizan was established in David, absolute power began to come. That’s only natural.
※ Resolution of the Remnant
So what resolution must the Remnants make? Everything must be resolved through worship. It’s obvious. All over the country and world, we see children who receive more answers than the adults, and we are surprised. These kids have a unique trait. You know the messages sent out from the headquarters? They don’t miss a single one. I was shocked. And they get top grades too. One Remnant—we didn’t even know who she was, but she was listening to all the messages. She became the youngest Asian professor in U.S. history. At a top university, too. That’s not easy. And she doesn’t even boast about it. She knows it’s by God’s grace. I met her father once. He’s a professor, and her mother is a doctor, I think. We had a meal together. Her father told me something. He was surprised when his daughter was a student—because she kept listening to the messages. That, he understood. But then she even put up a picture of some man in her room. Probably from a conference. That man was me. So the professor thought, “Ah.” It was our first time meeting. I told him, “Many disciples do that. They put up conference photos and pray.” No one told her, but she even sends scholarships to OMC. Kids like that—things just work out.
But when it doesn’t work, it’s because they keep doing the wrong things. Really. They don’t listen to the Word, and they forget everything. What’s worse? The Word doesn’t even go in. That’s no ordinary problem. Through this WRC, all of our Remnants must change their imprint. If you’re not able to hear the Word or pray, that’s spiritual desolation. It’s very serious. Isn’t that right? If it were soil, it’d be desolate land.
※ David, who discovered all the answers of life through Samuel
The Remnant who restores everything through worship. After meeting Samuel, David found all the answers of life.

3. Absolute journey
Third. What did David do? He discovered something important in the world—the path of the absolute journey.
1) Battle with Goliath
The first was the battle with Goliath. It was tremendous. And Goliath cursed Israel in the name of his own gods. He even said, “You who believe in the Lord, come out!” How insulting is that? Instead of saying, “Come fight me,” he said, “Come out, you who believe in the Lord.” No one went. They trembled. That’s when David realized why his father insisted he bring this and return with proof. We must be able to see the world like that. So David made the decision to fight Goliath. It wasn’t even a fight. David would beat Goliath a thousand out of a thousand times. He resolved it cleanly and swiftly. The whole world was stunned. From then on, hardships came, but it was fine.
2) The 1,000 bartizans that saved the world
What did he do out in the world? He established the 1,000 bartizans that would save the world. David did that. He was amazing.
3) Preparation of the temple that would save the world
And what did he do? He completed preparations for the temple where WRC would be possible—to save the world. You must bear this in mind. Our Remnants must grow up and restore churches that are closing their doors. Churches are closing everywhere. They must be restored. That is the Remnant’s mission. We must build churches for the 5,000 tribes. We must build schools for the 5,000 tribes. There are no schools. We must build many more in the future. Among African nations, Kenya is considered developed. Right? The capital of Kenya is Nairobi. I went to Nairobi. It’s the capital, after all. There, I was shocked. Kids walking around barefoot in the streets all day. There are no schools. Those kids don’t go to school. And this is the city center. Then the rest is even worse. I thought, “Wow, this is how they live.” I even wondered, “Why live at all?”
Then I went toward the Maasai tribe. There were no trees there. Why? They had all dried up and died. People lived in huts, and the doors were narrow. I asked, “Why are the doors so narrow?” They said it was to keep wild animals from entering while they slept. There was no water. Nothing else needs to be said. But as I was returning, I saw the face of a child. I don’t know how old he was—maybe 10. But he was just staring blankly at the sky, with no thought, no hope. Sitting there, like a soulless being. Alone. What must we do? What will happen to those kids? Didn’t we once live like that long ago?
Preparation of the temple that will save the world—this isn’t just about building a structure. You must realize a great mission.

▣ Conclusion_ David who overcame the wall
David ultimately had several walls. Remnants must overcome them well.
1. Loneliness
One wall was loneliness. In some sense, being sent to the mountain as a shepherd was incredibly lonely. That’s why many are attacked and killed by animals or fall into accidents. But David found all spiritual things there. Don’t try to create special moments—become a spiritual summit in the field, while studying, while living your life.
2. Brothers who blocked the gospel
David’s second wall was his brothers. They were ridiculous. They were just ordinary people. Ordinary people live like that—blocking the gospel. They didn’t even realize they were blocking it. When David said he’d fight Goliath, his brothers exploded in anger. “You’ve always been arrogant,” they said. “You’re an evil person.” Ridiculous, isn’t it? He said he’d fight Goliath. They should’ve asked, “Do you think you can?” But instead, they hurled insults. They already knew his skill. They should’ve asked, “Can you really do it?” But instead, they called him an evil person, and they were enraged. At that moment, David confessed, “Do you think I have no reason?” That’s how he overcame Goliath. You must overcome the wall.
3. King Saul
As David succeeded, he met his third wall—King Saul. One wall after another. But David was never shaken. Many soldiers and officials said, “King Saul is demon-possessed. He must be eliminated. He’s mentally unstable.” There was even a pastor who once said, “Hitler is a mad driver. We must remove him before he causes more damage.” Saul was a madman. When he had an episode, it was disastrous. People tried multiple times to kill him. But David said, “God does not want us to lay hands on the one He has anointed.” He protected him to the end. When he heard Saul had died, David wept. Here’s what’s ridiculous—one soldier ran to David, saying he had good news. “This is great news!” he said. “What is it?” “King Saul has died!” What did David do? He struck the man down with his sword. The same David, who was so loving and warm, struck him down. That man misunderstood—he thought David would rejoice. He thought, “Saul is dead, so David must be thrilled!” David completely overcame the wall of Saul.
4. Mistakes
After becoming king, David made mistakes too. When the prophet Nathan confronted him, David said, “I have sinned before God.” It may not have seemed serious before people, but before God, it was. “I have sinned before God.” He overcame that wall well. David had many such moments.
5. Absalom, officials, and Shimei
Later, Absalom and officials staged a rebellion. David overcame it well. Watching David in his final days, I realized even more: “Ah, that is David.” Corrupt officials fight for position. As David grew old, they tried to establish Absalom. That’s how the rebellion happened. David fled barefoot. While fleeing, he made one heartfelt request: “Do not kill my son Absalom. Spare him.” Then he fled. Absalom died in battle. As David was going, Shimei cursed him. One of the guards got angry and tried to kill him. But David’s true character was revealed. He told him not to. “God told him to do it. God is behind this. If my own son has betrayed me, how much more Shimei?” That was David’s vessel. God restored David. He made the nation firm and strong.
※ We must raise our Remnants as the ones God desires.
What kind of Remnants must we raise? The Remnants God desires. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing will overflow upon you today. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant us this grace. Give us the strength You gave to David. Grant the absolute bartizan to the Remnants.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

WRC Through the Eyes of Remnants and TCKs

2025.07.26 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (30)
– Model 26 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Ps 78:70-72

Today, let us remain in place without moving around, because we are short on time. I will first give the Remnant lecture, then we’ll take a five-minute break, and after that, we’ll continue with the Core message. But how should our Remnants and our TCKs view this WRC? It is yours, so it is important.

▣ Introduction_ The future
First of all, you must gain strength. What kind of strength are we talking about?

1. Power
Power is what is needed to live in this world, so you must gain it. That includes physical strength as well. Don’t we all need strength? But there is a power even more important than this.

2. Tacit
There is a word “tacit.” What does it mean? It’s an invisible kind of power. That person seems to have a certain power. I can’t quite explain it, but they have it. This is important. While power (Power) is necessary, this power (Tacit) is even more important. But there is a power greater than even that.

3. Authority
This refers to power that comes from above. That is the power we are talking about. But even this is not the greatest.

4. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
Heavenly Power. Thronely Power. Eternaly Power.
This is the power you need.

▣ Main message
Let us speak about David.

1. Psalm 78:70–72 [Fundamental]
We’ll see this again during the 1st Service tomorrow, but David already had fundamental power from his youth. He possessed this power as a young boy. When he was a shepherd, he was already engaging in praise, poetry, and prayer—things that others did not do. Spiritually, he had already become a summit. And he trained his skills. He honed his skills in protecting sheep. That’s how he was able to defeat Goliath. There were many who could throw stones back then. Most shepherds did. The important thing is in whose hand the stone lies. More precisely, the stone that David threw was used by God. That is what matters.

2. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 [Absolute bartizan]
What’s more important is the second point. What is it? He met the high priest Samuel. Samuel came and anointed David with oil and prayed for him. It was at this time that something important was passed down to him. He was able to establish the absolute bartizan. This is what you must do—gain fundamental strength and establish the absolute bartizan. Whether things go well or not doesn’t matter. You can even remain still. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.”

3. 1 Samuel 17:1–47 [Start of the absolute journey]
David didn’t just stop there. He encountered Goliath. You are already familiar with this story, so there’s no need for further explanation. It was the start of the absolute journey. Because he had the absolute bartizan, he could begin the absolute journey, and his first encounter was Goliath. If you hold onto this (fundamental) covenant at your age, this is what happens. If you don’t have this covenant, listening to sermons is meaningless. But if you do have it, the absolute bartizan is revealed as you listen.

What’s even more important is this: while others said a crisis had come, David didn’t see it as a crisis—it was a chance, an opportunity. That’s what matters. While everyone else was saying it was a disaster, David saw it as a chance.

For 40 days, in a valley called Elah, Goliath shouted at Israel. For 40 days. What did he say? He didn’t complicate things. He just asked for one person—someone who could defeat him. Let’s end it once and for all. “If I lose, take everything from our nation. If you lose, we’ll take everything.”
He was 6 cubits and a span tall—2.9 meters. He wore armor weighing 57kg. His spearhead alone was 7kg. And he shouted, demanding a fight.

David heard this on his way. He made a decision—to take Goliath down that day. He said to his brothers, “I will fight Goliath.” But they said, “Are you crazy?” They said, “You’re an evil and wicked person. You’ve always been a wicked one. You’re arrogant and evil.”
Isn’t that ridiculous? Who’s the truly wicked one? David responded to his brothers who rebuked him by saying, “Do you think I have no reason?”
Children who don’t amount to much rebel without cause. But those who will move the world rebel with a reason. So that message reached the king.

When the king saw David, of course, he thought, “What can a little boy like this do?” But this is what David said to King Saul: “The Lord delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear. I believe He will deliver me from this one who defies the Lord.” He had greater faith than the adults. This is what a remnant is.

David ran toward Goliath. He didn’t just walk—he ran. When he stood before Goliath, Goliath mocked him, saying, “Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?” That was Goliath’s final statement. David said this: “You come against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord whom you defy.”
He said, “Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will prove that life is not in the sword, but in the hand of the Lord. I will prove to the whole world that the Lord is the one true God.” And that was the end of it.
That’s David’s story.

Now, did Goliath understand all that? It doesn’t matter.
David flung the stone, and it hit him dead on. Precisely. Goliath collapsed on the spot.
The Bible says, “David had no sword.” But he didn’t need one. He took the sword at Goliath’s waist, pulled it out, and cut off Goliath’s head.
This wasn’t a haphazard action—it was planned.
He took the head and brought it before the king.
And the whole world was thrown into an uproar.
That was the beginning of the absolute journey.

▣ Conclusion_ 1 Chronicles 29:10–14
David spent his life preparing the temple through prayer.
Before that, he established a thousand bartizans. David was truly remarkable.
How was he able to do all this?
That will be the topic of tomorrow’s 1st Service message.

WRC Through the Eyes of the Scattered RTs

2025.07.26 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (30)
– Model 26 of 7∙7∙7 –

Then how should the scattered disciples view the WRC?
You must hold to this and make a resolution. What comes first? It’s the age of Egypt. How will you view the WRC?

Exodus 5:1–12:46
Ten plagues and ten miracles took place in Egypt. You must open your eyes to this. When someone holding the covenant of the WRC arises, darkness will be broken everywhere.

1 Samuel 7:1–15
What’s next? It’s the age of Philistia. This is the Mizpah movement. The problem was not the Philistines. “All Israel, gather at Mizpah.” In verses 9 and 10, they offer the blood sacrifice. It’s the restoration of the gospel.

2 Kings 6:8–24
How should we see the WRC? 2 Kings 6:8–24. What is it? The Dothan movement. What is the WRC? It is a gathering where we win without fighting. It’s a gathering that binds all darkness. We must open our spiritual eyes. Wherever you go, heavenly armies are mobilized. This must be remembered.

Isaiah 62:6–12
At last, the Babylon era began. The scattered disciples—you have been appointed as watchmen. You are to raise up many remnants. They will go and plant the banner.

Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
Now we must look at the final point. The ones who received teaching in these synagogues will go out as sojourners. They must go out knowing what prayer is. They must know who Christ is. Christ from before eternity. The incarnated Christ. The resurrected Christ. Christ who will return in the future as the coming Lord. Christ who will come as Judge. Only by knowing this can they win. What is prayer? What is an answer? You must know this before going out.

You now have three remaining main messages in this WRC. How do we accurately begin the eternal? What is the process? What is the end? This is what will be addressed in this conference.

Prayer
We thank You, God. Open our eyes to see the answers. Let us become spiritual summits who gain spiritual strength. Grant us the strength to save the world. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

RT-DAY August School Evangelism

2025.07.26 Core
Lecture 1 「The People of Babylon」 (Is 6:13)
Lecture 2 「The Problem of the Jews」 (Mt 1:19-23)
Lecture 3 「The Problem of the Apostles」 (Ac 1:6-7)
Lecture 4 「The Age of Antioch」 (Ac 11:19-30)
Lecture 5 「Paul’s Beginning」 (Ac 13:1-4)

There was a man named John Wanamaker in America. He was so poor that he worked as a clerk in a small shop. But Wanamaker had great faith. He greatly revived that shop. Eventually, the owner entrusted the store to Wanamaker, and he turned it into a large department store. Later, he pioneered the era of department stores across the United States.

Eventually, the President appointed Wanamaker as a cabinet minister. But Wanamaker declined, saying he could never miss Sunday worship under any circumstances. The President promised him, “No matter what, I will make sure you can worship.” So he became the Postmaster General. He left a historical legacy.

So don’t worry about what you must do in the future—even cleaning is fine. Just do the 300%.

▣ Introduction: So remnants must remember a few things from now on.

1. Enjoyment (Enjoy) Enjoyment. It’s often referred to as “enjoy,” but in some ways, I think “engagement” is also fitting. To what extent must you enjoy it? What exactly should you enjoy?

1) Bartizan (7 Bartizan) The bartizan—keep enjoying this through prayer.

2) Journey (7 Journey) 3) Guidepost (7 Guidepost) Continue enjoying the journey and the guidepost. When you do, it becomes 300%.

It’s not about “What should I do?” Just enjoy it. Enjoy these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts.

– 300% If you’re doing this, the 300% naturally comes. There’s no need to do anything else.

When I wake up in the morning, I start with this prayer. By doing so in detail from the morning, I remain connected to this prayer all the way here. Always with exercise, always with breathing—this must be remembered.

2. Wait From then on, what is it? Waiting. You enjoy while you wait. What are you waiting for?

1) Throne – Trinity Wait for this power to be revealed. We truly need power, but we also need tacit power as I mentioned earlier. More than that, we need the power from above—authority. More importantly, we need this power. Even greater than this power is the presence of the Triune God. Wait for it.

2) Kingdom of God Then surely, the kingdom of God will come.

3) Affairs Then masterpieces are created. The work of God’s kingdom is fulfilled. This is what we are waiting for.

3. Challenge And then what? We challenge. We challenge when we see it—not when we don’t. What do we challenge? We challenge when there’s absolutely nothing. We challenge the impossible.

1) Transcendence With what kind of power? With this power of transcendence. Transcending time and space. Prayer transcends time and space. The power of the throne transcends time and space. Why? Because Satan, who does evil, also transcends time and space. So we must have this power to overcome.

2) 237-5000 From then on, challenge according to the 237–5000.

3) Unprecedented Then what comes to you? Unprecedented answers. There is an unprecedented answer that is only for you. Discover this. God has prepared something unprecedented for your work, your field, and your church.

▣ Main message

1. Babylon This is the first Sunday’s forum. It’s time to begin the forum now. These are the people of Babylon. They were once again taken captive to Babylon.

So what is the forum we must have here? For remnants, it is not about calculation. It is not about profit or loss. It is not about whether or not I receive answers. Always remember—remnants are in a covenant relationship with God. This must never be forgotten.

People always calculate. They think something will benefit them, but it doesn’t.

Now, look carefully at the Bible.

1) Daniel 1:8–9 Daniel 1:8–9. He resolved. He resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine. Why? Because he understood why they were taken captive. “What will happen if I do this?”—he had none of that. He made a resolution. Remnants must take note.

You lost while fighting? That’s not losing. You won while fighting? That’s not victory. Don’t think like an unbeliever with a narrow mind.

Joseph being sold? That wasn’t defeat. Joseph being falsely accused? That wasn’t defeat. Joseph becoming prime minister? That wasn’t success. You must have this perspective. Forum about it. What’s really your problem? Is it a real problem? With that vision, you won’t be able to save the world. You study so hard but can’t save anyone. Then what’s the point of studying? Don’t even go to school, just wander around. Right? Why do what won’t amount to anything? This is important.

2) Daniel 3:8–24 Who were they? The three young men. Taken captive from Israel and promoted to high positions. Kings of every nation create idols. They build idols and command people to bow. Ancient Rome made idols and commanded worship. Babylon did the same. Japan made shrines and forced worship—both Japanese and Koreans were forced to bow. Even pastors bowed. That’s how it was.

They were told to bow. But they didn’t. The king liked them very much, but they refused. The king summoned them, “Why didn’t you bow? Everyone else did. Just do it once.”

They replied, “O king, we do not need to defend ourselves in this matter.” The king was shocked. He felt mocked. He said it kindly, but they said they didn’t need to answer.

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the LORD will deliver us.” What came after that was even more powerful: “Even if He does not, we will not bow to the idol.” Babylon was completely overturned.

3) Daniel 6:10–22 Daniel began to manifest incredible wisdom and power. Why? Because he always did three focused prayers. That’s all it takes. Through three-focused prayer, he gained historic wisdom.

How is this really working in me? Forum about it. Is it working? Why isn’t it? Forum. Am I gaining all power through prayer? If not, check yourself.

Because of this, they plotted against Daniel to kill him. That’s what politicians do. It’s okay. But what’s important is Daniel knew and did this: “As was his custom”—this is important—“he knelt toward Jerusalem and gave thanks and prayed.”

What happened? Daniel didn’t die. Even if he had, it’s okay.

4) Esther 4:1–16 Esther 4:1–16. Esther became queen. Her cousin Mordecai told her, “Don’t reveal that you are a Jew.” That was the secret. “Don’t reveal you’re a Jew.”

One day, a politician named Haman passed a law to exterminate the Jews. He set it in law. At that moment, Mordecai told Esther, “Go and speak up. Reveal that you are a Jew.”

Esther responded, “I will do so. If I perish, I perish.”

Evil Haman didn’t know two things. He used all his wicked cunning—yes, there are evil people like this, and they’re all demon-possessed, so they can’t be reasoned with. He tried to kill all the Jews because of Mordecai.

But he didn’t know two things. First, he didn’t know Esther was a Jew. Second, he didn’t know King Xerxes was infatuated with Esther—his favorite.

Esther was amazing. When she heard the news, she said, “Pray for me.” Not just pray, but “fast and pray.” Entering the palace without royal summons was punishable by death. If you brought food without permission? You’d be arrested. Show up without being called? That’s death. If summoned and you don’t come? Also death.

That’s what happened to Queen Vashti before her. She was summoned to the banquet and didn’t come. She was executed. So Esther said, “Fast for me. If I perish, I perish.” And she went to see the king, breaking the law.

What did the king do when he saw her? He raised his golden scepter. This scepter was only lifted during great national celebrations or when the entire kingdom honored the king.

But he lifted it at Esther. You know what that means. “Why have you come? What is it?” Unless it’s a major emergency, you can’t come like that.

“What is it? I’ll give you up to half my kingdom.”

Esther was a woman of great prayer and wisdom. If it were you, you’d probably blabber everything. But she said, “Let me prepare a banquet and invite you to dinner.”

This wasn’t just about food. The king understood. This meant she had something important to say. At the meal, he asked again, “What is it?”

Esther didn’t answer even then. She invited him again, and this time, “Please bring Haman with you.” Haman was elated. “The queen really understands people!” he thought. But really, it meant, “This is the end for you.”

At the second banquet, the king asked, “Now tell me. What is it?”

She said, “The Jews are about to be killed. It’s because of a lie made by one man. That man is Haman. And—I am a Jew.”

The king went mad. “How could this happen?” Scripture says he stepped out to collect his thoughts.

Haman, terrified, begged Esther for his life. As he grabbed her feet, the king reentered and saw it.

“Take him at once. Hang him on the gallows.”

This happened in Babylon—more specifically, in the Persian kingdom.

2. Jew
What is truly the problem with the Jews? Why did it come to this?

1) Gospel
The Jews have a completely mistaken gospel. Simply put, they didn’t know the gospel. Jews do not know the gospel. They don’t even know what original sin is. They keep talking about personal sins. Yes, personal sins must be repented of. But original sin? That doesn’t go away by repentance. Personal sins can be repented. But original sin requires God to save me. God must give me grace. “By grace you have been saved, through faith.”

So they don’t know what true blessing is. That’s why Jesus first taught them about blessing. “What you’re calling blessing isn’t blessing. The fact that your name is written in heaven—that’s real blessing. Being persecuted for that is blessing.” Not knowing this, they also didn’t know how to pray. They think prayer is asking for this and that. But Jesus said, “Don’t ask for all that. Your Father already knows. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” And at the end of times, Jesus again spoke about the kingdom of God.

2) Fake
Because they don’t know the gospel, they keep choosing counterfeits. It looks similar but it isn’t. That’s why they criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They criticized Him for turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. They criticized Him for healing someone on the Sabbath. That’s the problem with these so-called true Jews. They also misobserve the festivals. Pentecost and the Feast of Weeks are not about grain. It’s about the day of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Passover is not just about being freed from slavery. It describes the work of salvation. The Feast of Ingathering is not about barns—it explains the throne.

3) Church
So their problem is their Jewish church. There are three points listed here—do a forum about them. What did they say? “Why did you go to the house of Cornelius and eat with a Gentile?” That’s what they said—this was the church.

Do you know what Galatians 2 says? “Even if one is saved, they must still keep the Jewish law.” That was said by the church. It was said by Peter.

3. Apostle
Now even the apostles—yes, they also had issues. The apostles themselves had problems.

1) Acts 1:6–7
Jesus had just explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. Then what did they ask? “Is this the time you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” Yes, it’s an important question. But Jesus said, “It’s not for you to know. That’s not what’s important now. You must receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. Then you’ll receive power and world evangelization will be fulfilled.”

2) Acts 11:1–18
As we said earlier, they should have said, “The Word of God has been fulfilled. The promise of Christ has been fulfilled.” But instead, “Why did you eat at a Gentile’s house?”

3) Galatians 2:11–20
As we already mentioned—this is it.

4. Antioch
At this time, God opened the Antioch age. God opened this age. Let’s look closely at how He did this.

1) Acts 11:1–18
This repeated event in Acts 11:1–18 was God shifting the movement.

2) Acts 11:19–30
It was at this time that God called Paul. It was at this time He opened the door for missions.

3) Start
This marked a new beginning. What began? God began using the Antioch church, called Paul, and the mission movement began.

5. Paul
At this time, God used a man named Paul. Since we know the content, we must now focus on the key point.

1) Acts 9:10
Paul and Saul are the same person. Where was Paul passing through? Damascus. Normally, evangelism happens through a person, right? But this time, Christ struck Paul directly with light. Where did that happen? Listen carefully—it’s not about the location. Near there was a man named Ananias. That’s where Paul was struck. Where you are—that’s how God works. He connected Paul to someone who could lead him.

2) Acts 9:15
God gave that person a very important message: “He is My chosen instrument to proclaim My name to the Israelites, the Gentiles, and their kings.”

3) Acts 11:25–26
That’s how Paul was led to the Antioch church. There, he met Barnabas.

▣ Conclusion
So remnants, in conclusion, you must always hold to these three things:

1. Daily
Daily—this is prayer that revives yourself. Daily prayer is prayer that revives me.

2. Every hour
Hourly—this is prayer that revives the field.

3. Every matter
Every matter—this is what creates the 300%.

Now, it’s time for you to make your resolution. When making a resolution, it must always be with the scattered disciples.
