WRC Through the Eyes of Business Church Officers

2025.07.26 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (30)
– Bartizan 26 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6:4-9

Politics – A Politician or a Political Hack?
You can call someone who engages in politics a “political hack,” or you can call them a “politician.” When you say “politician,” that has a positive nuance. But “political hack” has a negative connotation. There are those who sing, and there are mere “singers.” Looking at our team, they seem like true singers. They’re good, and they’ve chosen a good name too—237 Praise Team. They just need to continue.

「The World Remnant Conference as Seen by Church Leaders and Workers」
Today’s topic is how church leaders and workers are to view the World Remnant Conference. There must be church leaders and workers here, right? And you must be listening to the message.

▣ Introduction_ Accurate answer (covenant)
How do we receive accurate answers? This isn’t easy. How do we receive accurate answers, and how do we hold on to the accurate covenant? If you don’t hold on to the accurate covenant, you won’t receive answers. No matter how difficult the region is, if you hold to the accurate covenant, you will receive answers. In fact, the seven remnants held to the accurate covenant in utterly impossible situations. Then, they surely won.

To do this, we need to look at a few things.

1. The five flows – Where am I?
We must always check where we are within the five flows. What are the five flows? God is still fulfilling His Word. Where are you within that? God is still answering prayers. Where are you? God is still carrying out the work of salvation. Where are you in that? What are the two remaining flows? It’s the spiritual flow where you live. A person living in America who cannot see the spiritual flow of America is no different from a dead person. If a person in Japan doesn’t know the spiritual flow of Japan, they’re the same as a dead person. What’s the final remaining one? Christ commanded world evangelization. Then you must be able to see the flow of at least one other nation. Receiving answers without this is virtually impossible.

2. Today’s flow – What must I do?
Then, within today’s flow, what must I do? This isn’t something difficult—you just need to see it. I am currently seated in the field of the tremendous remnant movement recorded in the Bible.

3. WRC – My portion
If you’re a normal person, you’ll end up participating and doing some kind of task. So what is my portion within the WRC, within this flow? You must be able to see this. Then, you will begin to see accurate answers. And you’ll be able to hold to the accurate covenant without doing anything particularly great.

This morning as I prayed, I felt, “WRC needs some financial help.” So I’m not boasting, but I prepared an offering. How much? I won’t say. I’ll just give it to the WRC. You need to think about things like this.

▣ Main message_ Evidence
Let me now present evidence for all of this—evidence from those who saw what’s in the introduction.

1. Exodus (Deuteronomy 6:4–9) – 7 people
First is the Exodus. This is the final message given during the Exodus. “Hear, O Israel.” A famous passage. “Hear, O Israel. Love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength.” “Teach these things to your children. Make sure they can see them wherever they are. Hang them on the walls, on pillars. Even bind them on their wrists and foreheads. Let them see it as they walk.” What does that mean? It means to completely imprint it. That’s everything.

And how many people did this? Seven. The first was Jochebed. Then Moses. His brother Aaron. The elder Jethro. Joshua. Caleb. And Rahab the prostitute. These seven finished it. They saw what was in the introduction. This (the introduction) is extremely important. No matter how much you struggle, if you don’t see this (the introduction), you won’t receive answers.

2. Philistia (1 Samuel 7:1–15) – 4 people
This was the age of Philistia. At this time, an important figure rose up and initiated the Mizpah movement. The issue wasn’t Philistia. Up to that point, they kept saying it was because of Philistia. But that’s not it. If you see things incorrectly, you won’t receive answers. “All Israel, gather at Mizpah. Throw away all idols. Return to the LORD.” And then they offered the blood sacrifice. That was the key.

Four people blocked Philistia: Hannah, Samuel, Jesse, and David. Four people saw what was in the introduction.

3. Aram (2 Kings 6:8–24) – 3 people
Next, Aram continued attacking. But at this time, a remnant created a masterpiece of victory without fighting. This was the Dothan movement. That’s right. They won without fighting. Winning by fighting isn’t that impressive. The best fight is the one you win without fighting. They won without a fight.

Three people were there. Who? Obadiah, a worker. Elijah, a church leader. Elisha, a disciple. The three of them finished it. It wasn’t many.

4. Babylon (Isaiah 62:6–12) – 5 people
Then came the Babylonian captivity. If you can’t enjoy the gospel, this will continue to happen. At this time, Isaiah prophesied in advance and revealed several amazing secrets.

First, he used the word “remnant.” God told Isaiah, “Not you.” When he said, “Send me,” God said, “Not you. There will be a holy seed, a stump.” That’s where I confirmed the word “remnant.” Then he spoke of Immanuel. He spoke of the gospel—Isaiah 7:14. He also spoke of the remnant movement—Isaiah 60: “Arise, shine.” That was the phrase. “Your sons and daughters will return from afar.” Then came a mission. “I appoint you as a watchman. A watchman who gives the LORD no rest day or night. Repair the highway. Raise a banner for the nations.” That’s what He said.

Five people who understood this finished the task: Daniel, his three friends, and Esther. So we must hold to the accurate covenant. You all worry about useless things way too much. No matter how much you do it, useless worry is pointless. If you keep worrying about things you don’t need to, that’s a mental illness. Right? Worrying about real problems is understandable, but it’s still harmful. But worrying about what you don’t need to? That’s mental illness.

5. Rome (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8) – [Romans chapter 16]
Finally, the time came to go to Rome. The age of the wanderer would begin. A tremendous, terrifying age. So Paul foresaw the future and went to the synagogues. There, he explained what prayer is. First, he explained what the gospel is. He showed what kind of answer you are to receive. All of this happened in the synagogues.

The people mentioned in Romans chapter 16 were the ones who evangelized Rome. And again, the same thing (from the introduction) appears. What you do is not what matters. What you see is what matters. What you do comes next. What do you see?

Why are we doing all this? While being criticized from all sides. Getting flak for using the word “remnant.” Do people who don’t know the word “remnant” even understand the Bible? The most important word in the Bible after “Christ” is “those who remain.” Right? “Those who are scattered.” “Sojourners.”

Why did I use the word “remnant” among all the others? “Remnant” has two meanings—it means “leftover” and also “cast away.” Right? Even leftover food is called “remnant.” It can also mean “discarded.” Scattered all over the world, appearing as though they’re cast away, but in truth they are the ones who remain. The remnant. That’s why we’re now holding this conference for the 28th time.

▣ Conclusion_ [Resolution]
What these people made was the covenant—but there’s only one thing they actually did: they made a resolution. They made a resolution, and then who worked? God did.

Daniel resolved himself in Babylon. The Bible says, “He resolved.” That means he made a decision.

Moses’ mother implanted the gospel and the covenant in him and sent him to the palace. A tremendous decision—but an accurate one.

Hannah didn’t even keep Samuel at home. She sent him to the temple.

Elijah was under a death sentence, a wanted man. The king himself ordered Elijah to be killed. But at that very moment, Elisha followed Elijah as his disciple. That was a resolution. To what extent? He burned all the farming equipment he used. Why did he burn it? To say, “I will never use this again.” Like how old-time generals, once they crossed a sea or river into battle, would burn their ships. Why? “I will never return on this ship. I’ll either destroy the enemy or die.” That’s what Elisha did—he burned it all.

The people in Romans chapter 16 had hidden covenants and made resolutions.

All church leaders and workers across the country, observe how to receive answers. Perhaps all your life—24 hours a day—you’ve been holding onto the wrong things. That’s called laboring in vain. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, the everlasting love of God, and the indwelling work of the Holy Spirit be with all remnants throughout the nation and the world, with every church leader and worker, from now until eternity. Amen.

Hymn
I Will Worship You
^{Seok Jin Oh · Ha Young Yoo}

In the Spirit Lord, I will worship You.
And in truth alone I will worship You.
With the gospel of life, I will worship You.
For You are worthy of all glory, Lord.

Father, Son, and Spirit, I will worship You.
With the covenant, I will worship You.
With the blessing of the throne, I will worship You.
Lord, let your power be revealed through my life.

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

Hymn
Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing
^{Robert Robinson}

Come, thou Fount of every blessing;
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
mount of God’s unchanging love!

Here I raise my Ebenezer;
hither by thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor
daily I’m constrained to be!
Let that grace now, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart; O take and seal it;
seal it for thy courts above.

Hymn
Since Jesus Came into My Heart
^{Rufus H. McDaniel}

What a wonderful change in my life has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart!
I have light in my soul for which long I have sought,
Since Jesus came into my heart!

Since Jesus came into my heart,
Since Jesus came into my heart,
Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll,
Since Jesus came into my heart.

I have ceased from my wand’ring and going astray,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And my sins which were many are all washed away,
Since Jesus came into my heart! Chorus

I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure,
Since Jesus came into my heart! Chorus

There’s a light in the valley of death now for me,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And the gates of the City beyond I can see,
Since Jesus came into my heart! Chorus

I shall go there to dwell in that city, I know,
Since Jesus came into my heart!
And I’m happy, so happy, as onward I go,
Since Jesus came into my heart! Chorus

Scripture Reading
1 Chronicles 29:10-14
^{Jerica Saunders}

David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
¹¹Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.
¹²Wealth and honor come from you;
    you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
    to exalt and give strength to all.
¹³Now, our God, we give you thanks,
    and praise your glorious name.

¹⁴“But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.

When I fall down you pick me up
When I am dry You fill my cup
You are my all in all
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Jesus Lamb of God worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name
Worthy is Your name

Hymn · Offering
Remnant
^{Kim Young Gon · Kwon Jung Min}

God’s people are scattered all around,
For the LORD has sent us on ahead of time;
But when the LORD calls us together,
We shall see His covenant in us restored;
For in this dark world full of idols,
The people have lost all their hope;
But when the Spirit comes
Like the power of the wind,
They will hear and receive the LORD.

Let us rise, all you scattered,
As the remnant,
Let us shine the light of Jesus,
To the world of night;
In the nations of the world,
Let us rise and shine for Jesus,
For we are His Remnant.

Prayer

Hymn
We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
^{Don Besig · Nancy Price}

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night,
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail. Chorus

300% – The Journey of the Throne

The 28th 2025 World Remnant Leader Retreat
Theme: The Start, Process, and End of the Eternal Answer (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)
July 25, 2025 Deokpyeong RUTC
Lecture 2: 300% – The Journey of the Throne

The 5,000 tribes spend about one dollar a month. There are many countries where people cannot eat properly. So, the question is: Can I truly save them? That is the resolution that had to be made in yesterday’s Lecture 1.

There are remnants here from the United States, Europe, and other developed countries. You must open your eyes. Almost everyone develops mental problems as they grow older. That’s why they fall into drugs. Some even fall into homosexuality. Also, Japan—our neighbor—is a great nation. What should the Japanese remnants be thinking? It is the most advanced country in Asia, yet it has the highest number of people with mental illnesses. Why is that? Can I really solve this? Build the LORD’s bartizan. In order to do that, you must find the answer to why you must study.

Right now, Korea is also in some respects facing a crisis. More than 40% of our nation suffers from depression. People don’t even know it. Why do you go to school? To study. Later, you need a job. To get a job, you need to take exams. If you do nothing, you’ll just end up getting married. Then what? You live doing nothing, eating, and die. Meanwhile, great nations like Europe, the United States, Japan, and China continue to fall into deep darkness.

All you have to do is shine the light, but many people are unable to. Just one person is enough—God raised remnants in every age. Then go one step deeper: How do I save my nation? How do I evangelize the world from my country? There’s something you must actually see. Just one realization is enough.

I entered Yeongdo, Busan. Others couldn’t see it—not because they weren’t allowed to, but because they weren’t looking or interested. When I went to the coast of Yeongdo, there were things covering the rocks. It was wax that had dripped down from candles during rituals. It had hardened and covered the rocks. What does that mean? It means they did a lot of shamanistic rituals. Nearly all the islands hold rituals. Though it’s gone now, there used to be a line of fortunetellers at the entrance of Yeongdo Bridge. All the churches there are tiny. They don’t run well. Because they don’t run well, they are far from world evangelization. So I entered Yeongdo and analyzed. There was a massive building. That represented Yeongdo. It was Tenrikyo. It’s Yeongdo’s landmark. About 2,000 pyeong. So I registered as if I were a member and observed what they were doing. Mostly healing. The very first thing I did upon arriving in Yeongdo was start full-scale healing ministry.

You must change everything that has been imprinted.

Introduction – Imprint
Change what’s been imprinted in America. It’s spiritual. I’m speaking of spiritual things. They must be changed. This can be done through prayer. For this, you must not worry about your studies from now on.

Prepare for 300%. How do you prepare for 300%? Bill Gates opened his eyes in his freshman year of college. “I will move the world with computers.” In his sophomore year, he prepared 300%. So many works took place that he dropped out of Harvard. What he made overturned the world. That’s 300%.

Steve Jobs had a thought: “I can fit the world into this mobile phone.” Everyone called him crazy. “I can fit the entire world!” And he did. He prepared 300% as a student. Don’t worry about your studies. If you’re not at 300%, even studying will be difficult. Our country doesn’t have power—what should we do? Change the spiritual imprint. That’s what Paul did. Paul overturned it. Spiritual strength is infinite.

How to prepare? It’s not difficult. It’s much easier.
When I was a student, I made a decision: “I must truly do world evangelization.” I prepared 100% to understand what evangelism is. Then because I had to share the gospel in the field, I prepared 100% regarding the field. What comes after that? Systems. I thought about the system to meet you. I prepared 300%, and as soon as I began, works took place. As soon as I entered Yeongdo, works began. That’s 300%.
Remnants only need to understand. But in order to change your imprint, what must you do? How do you change it? Go on the journey of the throne.

The core of the universe is already in your brain. The antenna that moves the world is in the throne, and also in your brain. Those who know this know how to pray. That’s why we pray the 7 journeys.

7 Journeys

1) The Triune God
The Triune God is fulfilling 3 works even now. We go on that path through prayer. Because this is missed, believers miss what prayer truly is. If a remnant prays, everything changes—but they don’t know how to pray.

2) The 10 Secrets
There are 10 secrets that will ensure you survive.

3) The 10 Perfect Platforms

4) The 5 Assurances

5) The 9 Flows

6) The answer for your entire life emerges.
It comes from within prayer. A remnant who discovers this will surely save a region and a nation.

7) All of life is camp.
Even coming here is a camp. Joseph going as a slave was a camp. Joseph going to prison was a camp.

Remnants only need to listen. When I was your age, I had these thoughts. I made a plan for what I should do. I made a schedule—but not once did I carry it out. But now what kind of answer has come to me? This is my schedule. I didn’t make it. A few people put it together for me. When I go to worship on Sunday, they hand it to me. On the left are my assignments and tasks. On the right is my weekly schedule. Several people work together to make it and send it to me. I carry it around all week. What does this mean? What you truly set your heart on will truly become an answer.

Important people came from Fiji and Tanzania. You must quickly open your eyes. You can’t even go to the 5,000 tribes, but Tanzania is a nation that can influence one-third of them. Among the islands of Oceania, nations like Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Fiji can have tremendous influence. If you just realize this, works will happen.

In the United States and Europe, there are not even proper vessels prepared to save others. At the end of your lives, there’s no need to compete. If you’re prepared, they will come to take you. Competing is something similar people do with one another.

Two remnant examples: Joseph and David had no competition. Many people look at David’s fight with Goliath and think it was a struggle—but it wasn’t. If David fought Goliath 100 times, David would win 100 times.

They had a bartizan. Change the bartizan. Because you have a bartizan, you go on this journey. Then 300% will appear. And within the 7 journeys, important talents will emerge.

Establish the Bartizan of the Throne of the LORD

The 28th 2025 World Remnant Leader Retreat
Theme: The Start, Process, and End of the Eternal Answer (Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8)
July 24, 2025 Deokpyeong RUTC.
Lecture 1: Establish the Bartizan of the Throne of the LORD

You are leaders. There is something you must do first in today’s first lecture. Can I really carry out world evangelization? You must confirm this and make a resolution. Today, people came from Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. Is world evangelization possible in places like these? You must decide. You must find and take hold of it.

Many of you came from America. Is America carrying out world evangelization? It is not. In fact, it is doing worse than Vanuatu or the Solomon Islands. Why is that? You must quickly confirm this and make a resolution.

Japan, the most developed country in Asia—is it carrying out world evangelization? Why not? America, Japan, Europe, Korea—these are wealthy nations. Then why are there so many people with mental illnesses? You must confirm and decide quickly.

There are pastors here as well. You must ask the real question and decide. Can our church save the region? If you can, then do it. You must save your region. Today, you must confirm and decide this.

Young remnants with a future have gathered here. Can I save my family line and my region? You must not leave your family line unsaved. But can you truly save it? The seven remnants confirmed this. They made a resolution. World evangelization took place.

You may be in a good environment, but I was in a very bad environment. My family was poor, my church was struggling—everything was difficult. I lived barely scraping by. I confirmed it. Why is it like this? I made a resolution. Answers came. World evangelization began. That is what you are to do.

This time, you must take four things with you that you should never forget as leaders.

(1) Erect the bartizan of the throne of the LORD. This is the answer.
Jesus spoke about the kingdom of God for 40 days. That is the bartizan of the throne. I finished everything with this.

If you do not understand the bartizan of the throne, two problems will come. Studying will be difficult. You cannot avoid it, and you cannot control it as you wish. Even if you study, one day a spiritual problem may come. Can a teacher tell you what it is? If a spiritual problem comes, can your parents tell you? Can your parents heal you? You will suffer your entire life—a life of unnecessary suffering.

Jesus spoke. For 40 days, He explained the kingdom of God, and He said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

I made a resolution. Without this power, my own skills are not enough. The adults are precious people, but even with their strength, it cannot be done.

I know someone who graduated from the best university in Korea. He passed the bar exam at a young age—while still in college. He was smart and outstanding. He became a judge even before getting married. He was so capable that he became a senior judge at 31. Then he became a member of the National Assembly. He is incredible. But his monthly salary is only around 10 million won. He cannot do world evangelization.

He faced problems. He went without ever doing world evangelization. If you go without doing a single thing that God wants—how regretful would that be?

(2) Leaders and remnants must not be deceived—other bartizans are already built within you.
What kind of bartizans? Things taught at school, what you saw at home, what you learned from friends, what you read in books—these are built inside. I have no spiritual strength. I may go to church, but I’m just like a non-believer, even worse. Realizing this is discovering prayer. What is prayer? It is moving the power of the throne. That has entered me as a bartizan.

You are not too young. Joseph’s brothers talked about food. Joseph talked about world evangelization. It’s different. Others said, “As long as we can eat in the wilderness or Egypt, we’re fine.” But Moses spoke of the Exodus. It’s different.

(3) The first lecture is about understanding what prayer is.
Prayer is erecting the LORD’s bartizan within me. It is possessing the bartizan of the throne.

To imprint this, we say “heavenly” and “drone-ly”—this bartizan is within me. If that happens, studying becomes easy, and using your talents becomes easy. What should I do in the future? No need to ask—it will be clear. Adults have created a world where none of them understand this.

Don’t worry about studying. That’s outdated thinking. What is studying? It is discovering what God has given me. If you don’t even know that, what use is working hard? Without spiritual strength, you cannot overcome, and you cannot do world evangelization.

Prayer is moving the throne.
Prayer is delivering the power of the throne.

You must know this to be a leader. I must build the bartizan. Without a bartizan, there is no need for a watchman. Only if there is a hospital, is a doctor needed. Build the LORD’s bartizan. At your age, it is enough just to understand this. That’s the strength of remnants. Older people don’t get it even when you tell them repeatedly, but remnants understand right away—“Ah, so that’s what it is!”

To enjoy this blessing first, there are a few things you must confirm.

Introduction – Confirmation

(1) Important beginning
You must begin with importance. Don’t go the wrong way. No matter how great you are, the wrong path is the wrong path. No matter how much your parents care and love you, if the path is wrong, that’s not it.

Wherever you go, there are problems, trials, and conflicts. Crises will come too. What kind of thoughts do you have in those times? That is “you.” And that becomes your future.
The seven remnants had those moments, but because they had a clear identity and this power, they determined to change things. You must remember and confirm this.
Is there a problem in your family? Then I am the watchman to change my family. Whether it works or not, shouldn’t you hold onto the covenant accurately?

(2) Accurate covenant
Only when you are not deceived can you hold onto the accurate covenant. “My family is hopeless. I can’t study, I’m poor, I have no ability.” That may be true. But then you’re disqualified. This power means nothing. The seven remnants held onto a mission when this appeared.

How much you are used depends on what you do when problems, tests, conflicts, and crises come. You can tell if someone is great when these things happen. You know if someone is truly blessed by God when these come. You must remember this for life. Wherever you go, they will come. Is there any place without problems, conflicts, or trials? None.

An American youth went to counseling and asked, “Is there a society without problems and conflicts?” The counselor answered, “Go to a cemetery. If you die, there are no problems.”
At that moment, a mission was formed, and the accurate covenant was seen.

Among the seven remnants, Joseph received the accurate covenant. Everything turned into answers. He became a slave—was that failure? He was falsely accused and sent to prison—was that failure? One day he became the prime minister—was that success? None of it. That’s all at a level that cannot save. Problem came—success came. Unless it is world evangelization that breaks the darkness, it is not success.

(3) Prepare the vessel
From this point on, you begin to prepare your vessel. Though young, you are spiritually presidents, kings.

You must hold this in your heart. Then an important main point emerges. What exactly is an answer? What is prayer? Then what is an answer?

Main Point – Answer

It is changing the bartizan. This bartizan must change. It must be transformed. True prayer is when the bartizan that moves the throne is erected within me.
What is the answer? It is changing the incorrect bartizan. This is Satan’s strategy. You must change it. No matter how much you study, the knowledge of the world is an academic system that leads you away from God. You study to save the world, not to follow it. You must be determined from the start. Make a resolution from the start.

I was deeply scarred. Why disease, poverty, incompetence, and inability to evangelize? I changed. Remember from now on—changing the bartizan is the answer.

(1) Now
When do you change it? Now. When do you receive answers?

1) Daily
I begin prayer the moment I open my eyes in the morning. At night, before sleep, I receive answers. During the day, I receive answers. 3 concentrations.
As the bartizan of the throne is erected, the platform, watchtower, and antenna are established. 3 settings.
Now, wherever I go, I carry answers for problems, conflicts, and crises. 3 answers.

Remnants, remember this. Pray for more than five minutes when you wake up. That’s enough. Pray five minutes before going to bed. During the day, when it’s hard, regain strength.

I go further—when I wake up, I pray for hours.

Remnants must restore three things: spirit, brain, and body.
With what? With prayer.
Remnants, pray while breathing deeply for just five minutes. It revives the brain. Because you are people of the Holy Spirit, the bartizan of the throne comes.

2) Hourly
Every hour, focus on three things. Fulfillment of God’s Word, real answers to prayer, and five minutes of exercise.
You can do it while sitting in a classroom. Just lift your bottom off the chair for three minutes—it’s amazing exercise. No one notices. Use the edge of your chair and lift your body for just two minutes. Breathing—your brain and body are revived, and your spirit is revived through prayer. Change the bartizan through this. It’s bound to come. You are elites—leaders who will save the world.
No need to set aside extra time for exercise or prayer. 24, 25, eternity.

3) In everything
In everything, do editing, planning, and design. You don’t have to do it all at once. Edit so God’s Word is fulfilled. Plan so prayer is answered. Design so the field is revived.

Make this a habit. This is the habit of elites. The habit of world-moving leaders.

For me, editing is through books, and the answer is through the Word. Planning comes by observing the field and events. Design means asking: What does the field need most right now? Even if I can’t find the answer—ask the question. Leaders, don’t miss this. The answer is now. When does it come? It’s bound to come.

Pastors, you must move the world with this power. From the moment you open your eyes, continue. Restore health.

(2) Worship
It is changing your worship. This answer, this bartizan changes during worship.

1) Acts 1:3
For 40 days, He spoke about the kingdom of God. In that listening time, all bartizans change.

2) Acts 2:1
Ten days—when the day of Pentecost came. That’s when everything changed. If you worship properly, that’s the end.

3) Acts 2:17–18
The future is seen. Young men and old men dream dreams and see visions.

4) Acts 2:42
Look at the flow of the apostles’ teaching and fellowship (meeting), the flow of salvation through the breaking of bread, and the flow of prayer. There’s nothing else to do.

Don’t worry even a little bit. Studying as you are now is not enough. 300%. What is 300%? I’ll explain tomorrow.

5) Daily at the temple, daily in homes
God’s Word is fulfilled in my academics. You don’t even have to try to be a witness—you will become one. Because answers come.
Remnants, don’t lose strength. I am a witness. My childhood was too miserable to even give a testimony. I am a witness. That’s when the bartizan is overturned.

(3) Change with what Jesus Christ gives
In prayer, continue enjoying the 777 given by Christ.

1) Transcendence of time and space
You prayed here, but your family in America experiences works of God.

2) Connect to the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes
I only prayed, but remnants rise in Australia, Vanuatu, and the Solomon Islands. More will rise in the future.

3) Once-in-a-lifetime (unprecedented and unrepeatable)
No one can take this from you. This is the answer, and this is changing the bartizan.
Prayer is enjoying the LORD’s bartizan.

Conclusion

Always enjoy five concentrations:

1. 40-day concentration
Try the 40-day concentration Jesus did in a crucial time.

2. Worship concentration
Acts chapter 2.

3. Daily concentration
You are the summit.

4. Hourly concentration
Remnants, pray and exercise no matter what, in between everything. If you don’t understand this, your brain will never be revived. It must come alive so you can save others with the power of the throne.

5. In everything concentration
If you do this, important things will follow. What follows?
Only, uniqueness, re-creation.
These will come.

Make a resolution again.
Can I carry out world evangelization in one region?
My country has no strength—can world evangelization happen?
A multiethnic age is coming. An African age is coming. The island nations’ age is coming. It’s bound to happen.
Because remnants are leaders, you must never miss these four lectures.
Don’t worry about the future. You will succeed—prepare what comes after that.

Prayer. God, we give You thanks. We praise You for calling us as leaders. Let us raise the bartizan of the throne. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Jesus Works with His Evangelists

Mark 16:19-20. After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. ²⁰Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Do not be discouraged, no matter what happens in your life today. Jesus is alive, and that changes everything.

Through His death on the cross and resurrection from the grave, Jesus destroyed the works of the devil. He broke the chains of sin and darkness that once held us captive. By rising from the dead, He secured eternal redemption for all who believe in His name. We are no longer bound by fear, guilt, or condemnation.

The Bible declares that through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit who gives life has set us free from the law of sin and death (Romans 8:2). Because of this, we now have confidence to approach God’s throne, where we receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

You are not alone. The same Jesus who walked with His disciples is walking with you today. You are a witness of the living Christ in this generation. So do not fear trials or persecution. The Lord who stood by His people in the past is standing by you now.

When Stephen, the first Christian martyr, faced death, he looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of the Father. He said, “Look, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). Jesus had not left him alone, and He will never leave you either.

You may feel weak and fragile like a jar of clay, but what matters most is what is inside you. And you carry the greatest treasure of all—Jesus Christ. That is why, even when you are hard-pressed on every side, you will not be crushed. Even when you are perplexed, you do not need to despair. Even if you are struck down, you will not be destroyed. The power that sustains you is not your own; it comes from God (2 Corinthians 4:7-9).

So begin this day with renewed strength and confidence. Do not be discouraged by what you see or hear. Lift your eyes above your circumstances. The Lord will protect you and carry you through every challenge until the day He calls you home.

Even in the midst of a storm, when Paul was a prisoner for the sake of the gospel, the Lord sent an angel to stand beside him. The angel said, “Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you” (Acts 27:24). God preserved Paul’s life and the lives of others on account of the mission he carried, the Roman evangelization. Your calling is just as precious in God’s eyes.

The gospel is so important that God moves even nature for the sake of His messengers. As you walk in God’s covenant for world evangelization, you are playing a central role in the story of redemption. Jesus said, “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). That mission includes you.

Rediscover your identity in Christ. Remind yourself of the true purpose of your life. Don’t let anything in this world deceive you or take away the blessing of sharing the gospel. Don’t be afraid of people. The risen Jesus Himself is working with you today as He did with His disciples with the power of His throne (Mark 16:19-20).

With this promise, He commands us to go and make disciples of all nations, to proclaim the gospel and heal the sick, to strengthen wandering believers, and to raise the next generation from the grip of darkness. This is the mission He has entrusted to you.

So walk in the power of the resurrection. Jesus Christ is alive and living in you.

Prayer. Father, help me to stand as a witness of Christ—the resurrection and the life. Let me experience the power of the risen Jesus in my life, that I may save this generation with the gospel. Help me to enjoy Your presence every moment of this day. Break down all the forces of darkness and unbelief in my life in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

No Competition and the Answer of 25

2024.08.13 District Message
Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 6:8–23

A student who will soon study abroad in America came to say goodbye. You must go with the covenant that can conquer America already in your hands. The adults didn’t really have this part prepared. Our remnants must absolutely discover this.

During the Remnant Conference held with the President of Vanuatu, I received a prayer topic: “Ah, next year I must invite remnants from 14 nations.” That’s the prayer topic I held onto. So what you must always pray about is this: we must first hold onto the covenant. Only then. Just doing your best unconditionally? That’s not it. You may have been taught that—“Just work hard no matter what.” But the Bible doesn’t say that. Starting from the very important time of Abraham, the Bible says, “Go to the land I will show you.”

Non-competition and the 25 answers
This is my deepest, hidden concern. When I look at many people, they try to do things in the same way as unbelievers. Ah… if you do that, you’ll lose. True remnants—those truly of faith—were people of non-competition. Right? That’s because they received the 25 answers. The 24 is our time, but the 25 is not our time. In other words, this (25) is God’s time. They secured that in advance.

▣ Introduction

So you must absolutely remember this.

Covenant (C)
First hold onto the covenant, the accurate covenant. Right? If you first hold onto the accurate covenant, that becomes the Covenant.

Disaster (V)
Then, you must really see what the disaster is. You say, “I’m going to America”? Do you know what the disaster in America is right now? A massive culture that makes people not know Christ has taken over America. It’s easy to fall into strange cultures. You must see this first, and only then will you see what Vision is.

24·25·Eternity (D)
Then what kind of covenant do you hold onto? From this point on, 24·25·eternity becomes visible. When you see this, that is the Dream. You didn’t just see the future; you saw eternity. That’s the true Dream.

Airborne authority (I)
Now, there is a remaining battle, right? It’s the airborne authority. Your real battle is this (airborne authority). It’s not about this (Covenant (C), Disaster (V), 24·25·Eternity (D)). It’s not a matter of “How should I study when I go there? How should I get a job? How should I run my business?” It’s not at that level. Because you can overcome this with the Spirit of God’s creation, it is called the Image.

Throne (P)
Now, we already know this, but it’s about enjoying the power of the throne. Your life must become one that creates masterpieces. That’s Practice.

This is CVDIP. Adults must absolutely remember this. If you forget, your remaining life will continue to be difficult. From what I’ve seen—even though I’m not a businessperson—when I look at those who do business, they hold onto many dangerous and unworkable things. One day, it will collapse. Then you’ll say, “Ah, is it because I didn’t pray?” That’s not it. It’s because you were already holding onto conditions that would cause collapse. Remnants must remember this, and so must the adults.

〔Survival competition〕
Right now, we’ve been taught by the world without even knowing it—things like survival competition. If you study history, history teaches that too. The book Art of War by Sun Tzu is all about how to defeat others. So it’s all about killing and winning. Since the entire world teaches that, people act that way. But our believers are not like that. We’re not about this (survival competition). We’re about non-competition. Yet people still teach others to fight. Even when you go out to the field, it’s really like that. You must absolutely remember this and teach it to the remnants.

▣ Main point

1. Victory without fighting (Identity)
God’s children receive the blessing of victory without fighting. This is the identity of those who have truly received answers. How do we explain this?

Triune God
Though invisible, the work of the Triune God is with us. It’s certain.
Throne (identity)
That’s why, according to our identity, many blessings of the throne begin to arise. That is identity.
Authority
And if you have this identity, authority follows. If you have the identity, authority naturally comes. This part (Main point 1) doesn’t exist in the world, and it’s not taught in schools, so people—believers—don’t think it’s important. If you don’t think this is the most important, even those listening now will end up following unbelievers. Then, you’ll have no choice but to do this (survival competition). In the end, this (survival competition) will seem right. Even though it’s wrong, it’ll sound right. “Ah, that’s how it is. I must survive this survival competition.” It sounds right. It’s become like truth. But it’s absolutely not.

2. RT 7 (Loneliness)
Second, what positions were the seven remnants who received the answer of non-competition in? This is something to consider. A distinct feature of the seven remnants was that they were often in this state (loneliness). It was a feature—they were in loneliness with no one to help them. This is important. If you are in a position where no one can help and you have no strength, then that’s when true answers came.

Crisis – Independence
So it looked like they were facing a crisis. But these were secrets of coming alive with God alone. This became the way to discover spiritual facts. In the end, God’s true answer was on the other side. These blessings began to appear and became an opportunity to save all people. Joseph looked like he was going to prison, but that later became the means to save Egypt, save the king, and save everyone. Remnants must be most careful about this.
God’s method
God lets you learn His method. He allows crisis or what seems like loneliness so He can give you the answer to survive alone.
24·25·Eternity
From this point, this begins to emerge. “Ah, now I’ve failed.” Many think this way. But it’s not true. This is when the answer of 24·25·eternity comes. During first service, I tried to preach briefly—perhaps you were taught in the world, “Don’t be discouraged. Don’t give up.” But the Bible doesn’t say it like that. There’s no need to be discouraged or to give up. You must give up what is unnecessary. Right? Joseph went to prison—there was no need to cry out “Save me!” There was no one to save him. But God’s tremendous plan was in it. “Ah, why do I keep facing failure? I need to escape failure.” That’s what many think. And it’s hard. That’s why people hate it. But if you really know this (Main point) and start enjoying the secret of prayer, and if you have this (Introduction), you can overcome. Not just overcome—there’s something far greater. Always remember. You’re not suffering difficulty—the real thing is on the other side.

Remnants in America or overseas, and those going abroad, must remember. It may look like you’re going through hardships, but the true answer is inside that. That’s why crisis is important.

3. Power of the throne
From this point on, you begin to enjoy the power of the throne, where the Triune God is with you. Let me give a few examples.

2 Kings 6:16
Second Kings 6:16. It’s a power that ordinary people don’t know. Around Elisha, God deployed the armies of heaven.
2 Kings 19:35
Second Kings 19:35—on the night that King Hezekiah prayed, God sent an angel of heaven and something amazing happened. 185,000 Assyrian soldiers died. Historical records from Assyria said they died of a plague. Either way, they all died. That night, Hezekiah was praying. The Bible says he turned toward the wall. And Scripture records: “That night,” it says, “God sent the angel of the Lord and struck down 185,000 Assyrian soldiers.” The general who led the invasion didn’t die. All the others did. Why didn’t the general die? So he could return to report—and he got stabbed and died. The reason is simple: God let him live so people could see this (2 Kings 19:35).

Even believers don’t believe in this kind of power. That’s why your prayer is ineffective. If you don’t believe, what’s the point? Then you spend your whole life running errands for unbelievers and die. What could be more unjust? If you just hold onto this covenant, it doesn’t matter if enemies come from all directions. Even if the 7 billion people of the world attack the remnant, it doesn’t matter.

Daniel 6:22
Same thing—Daniel 6:22. Daniel said, “Last night, the angel of the Lord shut the mouths of the lions, so they did not harm me.” The lions didn’t bite Daniel. That’s how he lived.

▣ Conclusion – Spiritual strength
You must absolutely gain spiritual strength first. No matter what anyone says, gain it now through faith and prayer. If you are shocked for three days straight, 24 hours a day—you’ll die. Right? If your spirit dies, your body dies too. But if you are happy 24 hours a day for 3 days, your body will even be healed. So gain spiritual strength first. It will surely come.

I am most thankful for our elders, our elders and deaconesses—I truly respect them. Why? In Busan, those elders prayed and revived the city. Once I passed by the church and saw the lights were on, so I came down and saw elderly people praying. At that moment, I had many thoughts. Who would come and pray like this in church? When our church had just barely started. But God established it as a church for world evangelization. So our elders and deaconesses, especially, must gain great spiritual strength on Sunday. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day you overflow with the greatest grace and strength.

Prayer
God, we give You thanks. Let today be a spiritual day when the gates of heaven are opened. Send Your heavenly army today to destroy all unbelief and all that hinders the gospel. Let today be a day of gaining new strength. During today’s message and prayer, may it be a time when even unknown diseases are healed. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Crises and the Answer of 25

2024.08.06 District Message
Scripture Reading: Genesis 39:1-6

The workers of our church and every church are important people. In fact, the pastors and ministers in our church and all churches throughout the nation and the world are the most important people of this age. But how do you perceive this? Surely there’s an atmosphere among the ministers and workers—how do you feel about it? Within the church are also many individuals entrusted with important responsibilities. How are they thinking about their work? That is crucial, because it relates directly to the future.

At times, you may also face problems. You may even think, “There are so many problems.” To be unaware of many problems is simply ignorance. But to view everything as a problem after seeing many—that borders on a mental issue. That’s more like a sickness. To not know there’s a problem when there is one, or to think there’s a problem when there isn’t—those are both sicknesses.

Genesis 39:1–6
What do you think? One day, Joseph was suddenly sold as a slave. It was completely unexpected. We usually call such events a crisis.

[Crisis and the 25 Answers]
That’s a crisis. “Crisis and the 25 Answers” is the theme for this week. There are three things you must remember here:

[1. Crisis – 7 Disasters]
In reality, problems and crises come. But you must be cautious: sometimes what looks like a crisis isn’t truly one. It appears to be a crisis, yes—but you must have the composure to discern it. Many people fell into Israel’s seven disasters because of this. If we summarize the Bible, it’s simply this: the gospel, and Israel’s seven disasters. That’s what the Bible is about. We must realize this quickly. The Bible is not about anything else—it’s about salvation and the fall of Israel. But even within that, not all fell.

[2. 7 Remnants – Opportunity]
The ones who were not deceived by the crisis were the seven remnants. For the remnants, it wasn’t a crisis—it was the greatest opportunity. It’s always like that. It may be a crisis, or it may just appear to be. Those who view it only as a crisis will fall into disaster. But those who don’t see it as a crisis will find it’s actually their greatest opportunity. Right? Joseph was taken to Egypt as a slave, but in truth, it was his greatest opportunity.

[3. Posterity (Scars, Summit)]
What really matters is how posterity sees this fact. If they interpret it as a crisis, they will be scarred. But if they see it as an opportunity, they will become the summit. It’s the same situation.

If you grew up poor, that could become a scar. Right? But if handled correctly, it can be your greatest blessing. I’ll mention this again briefly during the first service conclusion, but when I was young, I saw my parents, my church, and everyone struggling with money. Maybe your story is different, but for me, I saw how everyone suffered because of lack of money. That’s why I firmly held onto the covenant—I knew I couldn’t fall into that. If you fall into it, you’ll be ruined. People who succeed financially often fall into financial sin later. A former president even said, “I stole so much money because I grew up so poor.” He confessed that himself. This is dangerous. If you become stuck in poverty, your posterity will be in serious danger.

That’s why parents should never say, “We can’t do that because we don’t have money.” Is money God? If it’s not God’s plan, it won’t happen. But if it is God’s plan, there will be a road through the sea and rivers in the desert. You must ask, “What is God’s plan?” not say, “It won’t work because we don’t have money.” Mothers say this easily—“We can’t do that, where’s the money?” But those words become imprinted into a child’s brain and soul. The child unknowingly starts to believe, “Money is everything.” That’s when they begin stealing. Not just theft—they’ll rob people at knifepoint. That’s how strange things happen.

Whether remnants see past events as scars or the path to the summit—that is the difference. Joseph didn’t just survive—he completely overcame. It wasn’t just receiving an answer—it was complete victory. Now that all the remnant conferences are finished, remnants, you must turn every problem into a perfect covenant. Don’t leave it vague. I’ll introduce a book during the first service, but I studied this deeply: Why are we poor? Why is our nation poor? Why do we have to be poor? I kept studying that. So remnants, when you face problems, difficulties, or crises, don’t just tolerate them. Turn them completely into a platform for reversal. Don’t inflate or exaggerate things. Begin exactly as it is, and aim for the highest.

We often do the opposite—we exaggerate. Especially men: “I know so-and-so, I’ve done this and that.” What’s the point? When I meet someone for the first time and they hand me their business card, if there’s a long list of positions on the back, I never give them any responsibility. One time, I went to preach at the National Assembly and received a business card from Mr. Park Se-jik, the head of the Olympic organizing committee. It only had his name and number. I thought, “That’s better.” Others cram their cards full—probably hard-working, but not my style.

No need to puff yourself up. Do one thing properly. Remnants must not grow up like that. Do one thing correctly, and works will surely arise. Don’t be deceived. No matter how poor your home is, if you do one thing properly, God will surely work. If there’s a truly unfixable problem, turn it into a complete blessing and platform.

▣ Introduction

Things will only get harder in the future. We’re heading into five new ages:

1. Age of Mental Illness
Don’t listen to people’s words. This age of mental illness is coming. Don’t trust reporters—they can lose their minds too. Politicians? Same thing—they can go mad and start wars. That’s why we must pray. The age of mental illness is coming.

2. Age of Addiction
With no clear direction, addiction is rising. If children fall into drugs, they can’t escape. We’re in the age of addiction. Naturally, this leads to more fighting.

3. Age of Conflict
It’s an age of fighting. Conflict everywhere. Soon, wars will erupt.

4. Age of Ideology
People don’t change their thinking anymore. In the age of ideology, people form a fixed mindset and never change. Only Christ can change them—but genuine Christ is hard to find. They don’t change.

5. Age of Mixture
Now, in order to make money, people are mixing everything together. “All religions are the same.” That’s the age of mixture. “Let’s hold hands and go together”—it sounds like a nice idea, but it’s not unity—it’s mixture. Unity and mixture are different. This is the age we are entering. “Don’t say that only by believing in Jesus we are saved.” That’s already here. The world is entering an age of deep problems.

▣ Main

At this time, what covenant should you hold onto?

1. Triune God – Knower – Into the Crisis
First, those who know the power of the Triune God. Those who know it enter the crisis. They’re not afraid. Joseph wasn’t afraid to go to prison. When he was sold into slavery, he thrived. The works of the Triune God and the throne are fulfilled within crisis—so they have no fear.

1) Work of the Throne
You must personally experience this (work of the throne). For example, if the power of the throne begins to appear in your work, would you be afraid? No. You’re only afraid when you don’t know. That’s when anxiety comes.

2) Answer
You can turn anything into the greatest opportunity. Why? Because all the answers come through (1. Crisis – 7 Disasters, 2. 7 Remnants – Opportunity, 3. Posterity: Scar or Summit). Answers come through crisis and problems.

3) Globalization
In the end, God brings you before kings to accomplish globalization. You must remember this.

2. Blessing of the Throne – One Who Enjoys
Don’t just know the blessing of the throne—enjoy it. Enjoy it through prayer. For the one who enjoys it, problems, conflicts, and crises all become blessings.

1) Problem – Answer
All problems are answers.

2) Conflict – Renewal
All conflicts become renewal.

3) Crisis – Opportunity
All crises become opportunities. Enjoy this through prayer.

3. One Who Delivers – Filled with the Holy Spirit
Third, the one who delivers. Being filled with the Holy Spirit means knowing and delivering this power. The Bible calls this being filled with the Holy Spirit.

1) Joseph – World
Joseph saved the world through crisis. Right? Such answers will come. Don’t misunderstand: “Oh no, we’re ruined.” No. It may seem that way, but look carefully—it’s not.

2) Obadiah – Dothan
Obadiah saved everyone in crisis. One man saved 100 prophets, Elijah, Elisha—and laid the foundation for the Dothan movement. He didn’t see the crisis as a crisis—he made a choice. Amazing. If you read the Bible closely, you’ll see everyone received answers this way. This isn’t fantasy—it’s exact.

3) Daniel – Resolve
Look at Daniel. He was taken as a captive. He could’ve despaired—or chased success. But he didn’t choose either. Daniel resolved. What did he resolve? God’s will. He understood and resolved to follow it. That’s it. The Bible makes this clear.

4. Calvary, Mt. Olive, Mark’s Upper Room
These events saved the world. Calvary was the greatest historical event—Jesus, though innocent, crucified. The resurrected Jesus left His message—that was Mt. Olive. Those who believed in that covenant and prayed—that was Mark’s upper room. World evangelization happened. Through this early church—unprecedented world missions arose.

5. Throne, Kingdom, Work
Jesus left us this promise: the throne, the kingdom of God, and God’s work. Just pray about this. Don’t try to get answers right away. If you’ve wrecked your car, don’t expect it to be fixed instantly. Right? If your life is shattered, answers won’t come immediately. God gives unshakable answers. Just pray. Don’t be deceived—just continue, and it will surely be established.

The scars and worries hidden inside you will inevitably lead your life in that direction. Never forget this. The unbelief and anxiety in you will inevitably draw your future accordingly. That’s the answer. The vision, faith, and assurance within you will surely lead you there. What looks like a crisis to us may be God’s greatest opportunity.

▣ Conclusion – [God’s Timetable]

That is the time when God’s timetable is fulfilled. Moses hid in the wilderness for 40 years—and during that time, God prepared the best. Elijah gave up, saying he couldn’t go on—but God prepared the real thing. The early church was in the worst crisis in human history. There’s no excuse for us. In the worst of times, they accomplished the greatest works in church history. Isn’t it clear? Hold to this and wait. Just wait.

But don’t wait idly—truly enjoy while you wait. People keep missing it because they haven’t entered this. It’s heartbreaking. You must develop this power. Because it’s unseen, it emerges mysteriously from somewhere. That’s how it should be. If you try to force something—that’s what unbelievers do. They don’t have the Holy Spirit’s guidance, so they live like that. Even wickedly—just to eat one more meal. That’s the life of an unbeliever. But we’re not like that. We hold onto what’s truly from God—what’s eternal. We enjoy it and use that answer to save the world.

Today’s message wraps up the remnant conferences. Remnants across the nation and world must hold to the message well. To all church leaders laboring for the next generation, your covenant will remain eternally. Long ago, when I mentioned Vanuatu, many said, “Why go to Vanuatu when there are so many other countries?” That’s how people think. That’s why I said pray. Now the president of Vanuatu is visiting Korea—and it’s big news. Security came all the way to Seoul. That didn’t happen before. Now security cars are lined up. They even checked our reserved seats for the event—asking us to leave a wide space for safety. I told them, “Don’t worry. Our identities are guaranteed.” Why all this? Because now they know it’s important.

Why did they come to us? Many politicians, mission organizations, and countries visited Vanuatu. But they saw something in us: we held firmly to the gospel of Christ. And they realized—this group seeks no personal gain. That’s important.

So workers—don’t boast. Understand? Missionaries, everyone—do not try to show off. If God receives glory and people receive benefit, that’s enough. Right? Most people like to take credit—but others can see right through that. If they feel like they’re being used, it’s over. No matter how kind you are, it ends there. But if they sense, “These people truly care. They sincerely pray and support us,” that changes everything. And that’s not just them—it’s the same in every nation. We must be careful. No need to take credit. Even in the unbelieving workplace, just do your job well. If you keep trying to show off and plan ahead selfishly, that becomes a problem.

I bless all remnants to become witnesses who discover what is true within prayer. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May this be a time when Your covenant is confirmed in all the remnants across the nation and the world. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

Synergy and the Answer of 25

2024.07.30 District Message
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:2-3

The word “synergy” comes from “syn,” meaning together, and “energy,” meaning power. It is the power of being together that saves others. We can do this (synergy) through the 25 answers. You should carefully refer to the messages from the recent Remnant Leader Retreat. You must also pray over these matters together.

▣ Introduction – Bartizan (Watchman)

Let us briefly examine a few things:

1. Covenant – Life, Work (Covenant)
God has given us the covenant. This must become the bartizan of my life, my studies, and my work. If other things have taken its place, we won’t even know why answers aren’t coming. This is called the Covenant.

2. Disaster (Vision)
Second, what we’ve shared with our remnants is the need to see disaster zones. You need a bartizan within you that can save disaster zones and overcome darkness. This is called Vision. It must always be within your prayer. Whether answers seem to come or not, you will receive the overall answer. That’s why all seven remnants saw this (disaster) and found the answer—they were unshaken. Simply put, Jesus took them to Mt. Olive and for 40 days spoke of Israel’s fall, Rome’s timeline, and all things. There was no reason to be shaken.

3. 24·25·Eternity (Dream)
Within this covenant and vision comes the 24 that is “being made.” Then follows the 25 and eternity—not something that disappears. This is called Dream. It’s different from the dreams unbelievers talk about. The dream of God’s covenant must be clear—24. We must help our remnants hold firmly to this. If your 24 is clear, the 25 will surely come. And then your studies and your work will remain in eternity. The dreams of the seven remnants were eternal—not passing things. “The day you apply the blood of the lamb, you will be set free”—that’s eternal.

4. Authority of the Air (Ephesians 2:2) (Image)
The fourth answer for our remnants: the forces of darkness have fully seized the authority of the air—Ephesians 2:2. They are creating cell phones, the metaverse—everything.

Universe
Now we and the remnants must open the age of the Universe that can save those under this authority of the air. How? By God’s power of creation. This is called Image. Just pray with this. For remnants, even just a little prayer in the morning after waking up and at night before sleeping will bring works. Why? Because the moments connected to the throne and penetrating the soul are important throughout the day—but especially in the morning and at night. One brain researcher even said that studying for 30 minutes before bed has greater effect than 8 hours of study during the day. For remnants and all of you, 10 to 30 minutes of prayer before sleeping can change the world.

5. Throne – Masterpiece (Practice)
The last part is important. “Heavenly power” is the power that comes from heaven. “Thronely power” is the power that comes from the throne. Right? It is eternal power—eternally. These three are very important. But this year’s theme is Thronely. With this power from the throne, we create masterpieces. How? Through prayer. Many people take prayer lightly, but prayer is the answer. Why? Because everything is imprinted within you. Your thoughts are the answer. Your level is the answer. Right? That’s why prayer is the answer. This is called Practice.

All of this (Introduction 1–5) is combined and referred to as CVDIP. This was the message given to Remnant Leaders so they can actually enjoy this through prayer and receive answers. It’s the same for adults—if you continue this prayer, works will arise. If you let go of the real things and hold onto the fake, you’ll end up serving unbelievers. Not just unbelievers—you’ll end up serving Satan. That makes no sense. So don’t worry—just hold onto this (introduction) covenant and begin praying now. From what I can see, things are urgent—so just go 24. Then the works will arise. Our remnants must absolutely hold to the covenant and move forward in victory.

▣ Main Message

1. Many People
When this is established, you can remain still and save many people. Right? Because there are answers. Isaac farmed for one year and reaped a hundredfold. Right? When others blocked and stole his well, God gave him the source of the spring. When many competitors attacked him out of jealousy, God gave him a vast land called Rehoboth. Why? Because world evangelization must be done. You must now stop everything else and enjoy this (introduction) 24 power. Starting now. When true answers come, you will be able to save many people.

2. Three Things
Second, what happens? If you possess this power, three kinds of answers come. How?

1) WITH
You receive the answer of God being with you. What could be greater than that?

2) Immanuel
Immanuel comes upon your field, your church, and your work.

3) Oneness
Even when something seemingly bad happens, whether good or bad, everything combines into Oneness and answers come. This is the answer you must receive.

3. [24] Prayer/Word
At this point, what begins to happen? When this blessing comes, you begin to enter into true (24) prayer. When 24 prayer begins, the Word begins to come alive. If a remnant enters into 24 prayer, they will survive anywhere. You don’t even need to worry about studies. Victory is guaranteed. Do not be deceived by lies anymore. If the remnant is in 24 prayer and Word, they are fine wherever they are. Just enjoy and wait. What happens then?

1) Together (Work)
To say this blessing is with me means that the Word and prayer will begin to work. “The word of the Lord came to Moses”—that’s it, right? “The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah”—finished.

2) Fulfillment
Then the Word will surely be fulfilled.

3) Witness
And without doing anything, you become a witness. You must possess this, and you must give it to the remnants. To what degree? To the point that unbelievers look at you and say, “God is alive. God is with your work.” That’s it. Right? People saw Joseph and said, “A man filled with the Spirit of the Lord!” Potiphar said, “The Lord is with you.” And not just that, but “The Lord is with you in all you do.”

Just enjoy this (introduction) and it will come. Don’t be deceived—how wonderful is it? When you enjoy this, health, answers, everything comes. Many people cling to the wrong things and run around, but there’s no need. If you enjoy this (introduction), everything follows. It’s truly unfortunate. People act like unbelievers, clinging to what doesn’t work, insisting it must. But what doesn’t work—doesn’t work. They bring back unreasonable theories they learned from unbelievers. “You can do it, just try harder.” That sounds right, but it’s not. There are things that just don’t work. If remnants hear this kind of talk, they’ll let go of the covenant and grab onto the wrong things.

Bartizan (Watchman)
Remnants must never be deceived. The covenant does not change. You must arise from within it. This (introduction) must become your bartizan. Only then can you be a watchman. You can’t shine the light if you have no bartizan, even if you’re capable. This (introduction) is the bartizan. God’s Word must become a bartizan within you. A vision that overcomes disaster must be firmly established in you. Right? Then the Dream that can be enjoyed 24, 25, and for eternity will take root. From then on, only two things remain. You gain power to overcome the authority of darkness. Soon, the age of the universe will come. You’ll see the power of the cosmos. And finally, you create masterpieces with the power of the throne.

You cannot accomplish world evangelization with anything else. At most, you’ll eat to survive. Right? Unbelievers do that too. If you struggle without salvation, you’ll eat and then die. But that’s not us. We must accomplish world evangelization. That’s how this (main point) comes out.

▣ Conclusion

Let’s conclude. Jesus concluded like this:

[1 Christ, 3 Kingdom, 8 Holy Spirit]
The resurrected Christ. In verse 3, the kingdom of God. In verse 8, only the Holy Spirit. “With this power, you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

John 14:26 [All Things]
What happens when this (introduction) bartizan is firmly set within you? He will remind you of all things. All things. When the bartizan is built, while you are praying, the Holy Spirit will guide you and remind you of all things.

John 16:13
John 16:13 says, “He will guide you into all truth.” That’s right. You don’t need to worry about the future. He will remind you. Others may say there’s a problem with your work, but God will reveal the future and give you the answer. It’s guaranteed.

Before I started the building project, what answer did I receive? The answer of the three courtyards: 237, Healing, Summit. That’s all we need to do. The world is now preparing this in full force. If our church prepares well, we can help many people. In the end, your work will become the three courtyards. Right? The 237 will come there. The 237 will be healed and raised as Summits.

As I mentioned during the session with the elders, we must pray for our nation. Korea’s public officials and politics move too slowly and are too underdeveloped. All developed countries have immigration policies—we don’t. Even when foreigners come, they can’t stay. Japan attracts global talent and holds onto them strategically. That’s smart. The U.S. tries to block illegal immigration, but it is a nation built on immigration. That’s a developed nation.

I gave up my green card, but I received it within three months of applying. They already knew who I was. When I returned it, I said I was living in Korea, and they said they knew. So I told them I’d give it up. I even persuaded Pastor Jung Eun-Joo: “Let’s give them up together.” Why? Because we had to lie. Every time we entered the U.S., we had to lie—say we were living there when we weren’t. They always asked me, “How long have you been in Korea?” I had to lie. “Two months.” Elder Jung said without blinking, “Two weeks.” I said, “Can we keep living like this? Even if the green card helps with world evangelization, this is wrong. Let’s return it.” Elder Jung said, “Let’s do it.” That’s how advanced their immigration policy is.

Our country doesn’t think things through. Foreign talents come, but they can’t stay. In Korea, to stay, they have to lie and force their way through. Their families can’t even come. They can’t see their kids. What kind of country is this? It’s so behind. It’s heartbreaking. We must pray and do something. How can we accomplish world evangelization like this? Since people don’t understand, God sends them as slaves. But our future generations must not be sent as slaves—they must go as missionaries.

The answer is simple. Even if you just pray properly during worship today, works will arise. If you properly hold onto God’s Word and covenant, works will arise. May today be a blessed day, and may it be God’s day. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May the works of Your Word arise in every region, every district, every school, and every workplace today. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Counter-Thinking and the Answer of 25

2024.07.23 District Message
Scripture Reading: Matthew 5:1-12

There was a boy in elementary school who kept asking for something, so his parents bought him a camera. He loved it so much that he carried it around all day taking pictures. That much was fine, but he skipped school to take those pictures. What would you have done? You probably would’ve said, “Give it to me right now!” and taken the camera away. “You have to go to school—why are you skipping it?” But the mother had a different perspective. She said, “You must have a talent in this area,” and encouraged him. That boy grew up to be Steven Spielberg, the world-renowned film director.

As we grow older, we tend to become fixed in our ways of thinking. So don’t become rigid; stay flexible. Mothers often scold their children from their own level of understanding. But your children have infinite potential, so you must be cautious. Otherwise, you’ll inevitably pass on your own limited level. As you know, Edison once boiled a watch in hot water when he was a child. From a so-called “normal” person’s perspective, he would’ve seemed crazy—but that’s how he became the king of invention.

Perhaps right now, there’s something in your heart that feels like a problem. Most of you probably have something, even if it’s small. Or maybe something will arise in the future, especially in daily life—like, “My child is the problem,” or “My husband is the issue,” or “There’s this problem at church.” That happens. But take a moment to consider: what’s really been troubling your heart lately? Then try to think about it from the opposite perspective—you’ll discover something amazing.

[Reverse Thinking and the 25 Answers (Matthew 5:1–12)]

That’s what we call “reverse thinking.” You may think something is a problem and see it only that way, but there’s another side to everything. That’s very important. When you look from the opposite angle, what comes? The 25 answers. This happens very often.

So before worship today, maybe you’ve noticed that around us, there are more strange people than good ones. That happens a lot. Try looking at things from the other side, and you’ll find amazing answers. After hearing this, one church leader shared that her husband used to come home late every night, drinking under the excuse of work. When he’d come home and ask for water, instead of scolding him, she would bring it and say, “Thank you.” Even drunk, her husband was expecting nagging—but she thanked him. He asked, “For what?” She replied, “Thank you for working so hard for the sake of our family. I’m grateful you came home. And I’m thankful for your good health—because if you were sick, this would be much worse.” That moment made her husband pause and reflect. “That’s right… if I keep this up, I’m going to die.” When she nagged, it never reached him—but her one word turned his thoughts around. That’s how powerful this kind of (reverse-thinking, 25-answer) moment is.

▣ Introduction – God’s Preparation

If we’re not careful, we’ll live by our own standards, levels, and norms. And when that happens, we can’t see what God has prepared. That’s the key point—we must see what God has prepared. But by nature, we tend to interpret, listen, and speak based on our own framework and level.

(Opposite side) Daily Life
God has prepared something tremendous, and just by shifting to this (reverse thinking), just by looking at the opposite side of our thoughts, our daily lives can be filled with true answers.

About 10 years ago, when I’d go to the U.S., there were Korean, Chinese, and Japanese restaurants. But Japanese restaurants were always in upscale neighborhoods, while Korean and Chinese restaurants were often in poorer areas. What surprised me was the Korean restaurant signs—they looked like signs from the Korean War era, completely outdated. They didn’t even realize it. But Japanese restaurants had very modern, high-class signage. Naturally, the way they raised their children, worked in church, and lived daily life all matched that level. Recently, though, things are changing. Korean food is gaining popularity, K-pop is booming, and perceptions are shifting. Yet many Koreans still struggle to update themselves. That’s when we must change completely—go to this (opposite side).

▣ Main

1. Jesus – Breaking the Mold
If you really want to receive answers, take a look at what Jesus taught. He completely shattered the mold—everything He taught was the opposite of what was expected. That’s when real change happens.

What did He start with?

1) Blessing
He redefined what it means to be blessed.

2) Prayer – Kingdom
Even prayer, He explained in a completely different way. Israel was under foreign rule—so was holding onto a government position really a blessing? Jesus asked. “Is your current comfortable position really comforting when your nation is collapsing? Isn’t it better to be poor in spirit?” Right? Jesus pointed it out precisely. “Isn’t it better to mourn than to rejoice in your position? Shouldn’t you be meek, not boastful? And even more—those who are persecuted are blessed.”

As I read the Sermon on the Mount, I realized something deeply. In my second year of university, I randomly attended a lecture by a pastor on the Beatitudes. He spoke softly but was clearly a scholar. I’ll never forget it. I later learned he was Pastor Sang-Geun Lee from Daegu—quite a famous teacher, often referred to as Dr. Lee. As I listened to his lecture, it became deeply engraved in me.

Even Jesus’ teaching on prayer was the exact opposite of what we expect. “Do not babble. Do not pray to be seen by others.” That makes sense. When elders lead corporate prayer, they naturally prepare more. But Pharisees literally prayed to show off. Jesus said that’s unnecessary. He said, “Go into your room”—not to insist on praying in a room, but to say, “Don’t pray to be seen.” He even said, “Do not ask for this and that.” That shocked me. Right—if God already knows, why ask? “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” From then on, I stopped asking in prayer. When the kingdom comes, everything follows.

2. Remnants (RT)
Let’s take one example: Joseph.

1) Slave – Economy
He was sold as a slave. Remnants must remember this. If you think too much about your home, school, or church situation, you’ll become a slave to those thoughts. Joseph used that time to study the economy. That’s important.

2) Prison – Politics
He was falsely accused and imprisoned. No way out, no one on his side. That’s when you need to look to the opposite side. Joseph learned politics there—because he was placed in a cell with politicians. Even today, there are different cells for different people. This prison housed only politicians, and Joseph saw (politics) firsthand. That’s how the way opened.

3) King – Mission
Eventually, he stood before the king. What would we do in such a moment? It’s overwhelming. But Joseph didn’t actually interpret the dream himself—he said, “I cannot interpret it.” The king could’ve been furious! But Joseph said, “God will reveal the dream to the king.” He carried out his mission well, even when the answer came.

4) Prime Minister – Missions
He never aimed to be prime minister—but it just happened. If you truly hold onto what God has prepared, you’ll receive things you never asked for. Joseph didn’t take revenge—not a single one. He became a powerful prime minister, entrusted by the king with full authority: “Run Egypt as you see fit.” That’s when Joseph began full-fledged missions. Isn’t that amazing?

Always try this: when a problem arises, don’t just see it as a problem. Look at the opposite side. Some people say, “I’m so lonely.” Then you’ll live lonely forever. Try the reverse: God has given you incredible time. Right? Amazing time. Sometimes when we travel for a conference, we’re placed in the city; other times, deep in the mountains. Wherever it is, just go. Some people complain, “I’m so bored here.” But for me, it’s a golden opportunity to finish all the assignments I’ve been putting off—and it works out so well.

The problems you face in daily life are actually full of answers. If your family is struggling, remnants should think: “Ah, God is showing us what we need.” Not to fight about it—but to pray. Most people miss answers, and they miss them in daily life. That must be remembered.

3. God’s Things
Once you look to the opposite side, you begin to see God’s things.

1) My Thoughts
Once you see God’s answers, your own thoughts become less important. Right? If the answer is clear, why push your own thinking? Your level doesn’t matter. Once you reach this point, others will notice, “There’s something different about this person.” Then people begin to open up. That’s when evangelism begins. Don’t neglect your workplace duties to run around evangelizing—that’s not good either.

2) God’s Things (God’s Plan)
As you enjoy these answers, you begin to see God’s things—His plan. Just as the title says.

3) Three Things
Then you begin to see three things:

(1) Why? – Concept
First, you see why you’re here. Then answers begin.

(2) What? – Content
Next, knowing the “why,” you can see clearly what you must do.

(3) How? – System
Once you know the “why” and the “what,” the “how” becomes clear.

In more specialized terms:
“Why” = Concept
“What” = Content
“How” = System
Remnants must remember this.

For example, when constructing a building, the concept is the vision of what kind of temple to build. The content is the design. The system is how it functions. With a little prayer and a different perspective, answers unfold like this (entire message).

This happens to me often. Of ten people I meet, one may be agreeable and nine may not. But even from those nine, I learn a lot when I think from the opposite side. Sometimes while driving, people get angry at me even when they’re clearly at fault. When I roll down my window and say, “I’m sorry,” they’re shocked and drive away smiling. I just thought, “This person must be in a hurry.” When people are in a rush, they act without thinking—like they’re sick. So don’t argue. Some people even shoot hunting rifles over such issues.

In the U.S., people greet strangers with a smile. If you pass someone with a frown, you might get shot. It’s a cultural habit. In an elevator, Americans always say “Hi,” whether they know you or not. Korean people ride the elevator with a frown, staring at the wall—and then they might get shot. So be careful.

Reverse thinking opens up many things. That’s why I reached a conclusion: if you go where “nobody” is, there’s no competition. It’s the same in work. People are missing out. When I first started as an assistant pastor, no one asked me—but I took the outdated church member lists and cleaned them up. I visited members who were discouraged and hadn’t come in years. When I said, “I’m the new evangelist,” they were shocked. “No one’s ever come to see me!” Just that one visit changed their heart. No one had reached out. That’s the power of “nobody”—no competition.

▣ Conclusion – Absolute Plan

In the end, once you discard all the noise and clutter in your thinking, you’ll see it: God’s absolute plan.

Foolish people often criticize others. But I look at the opposite side. We already know what was wrong—looking from the other side reveals how to awaken, save, and guide the person. People who don’t pray or who lack insight ask, “Why does Pastor Ryu tolerate that?” But when I look at the other side, I see God’s plan—and even His absolute plan. So even when I face criticism, I’m always thankful. Those moments become lifelong blessings in prayer. There’s so much good on the other side. Right?

Throughout today’s worship, may you enter deep grace and witness healing, power, and the coming of God’s kingdom. I bless your children, your workplace, and your field in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, thank You for giving us new grace and opportunity today. Make us witnesses who see Your plan. May today be a precious day to receive new strength. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

Spiritual Reality and the Answer of 25

2023.07.16 District Message
Scripture Reading: Genesis 41:1-38

If you go to the countryside in our country right now, there are many empty schools. That much is understandable, but even in semi-urban areas—between cities and rural villages—schools are shutting down. Why? Because there are no children. When I went to Hamyang, I asked what the locals liked most, and they openly said that it was nice to see many people coming in, as it meant the population was increasing. If this continues, Korea may soon face a serious crisis due to population decline. Why is this happening? For about 30 years when we were young, people were taught to have fewer children. Our politicians didn’t understand the spiritual world, so they just said whatever was convenient at the time. Because of that 30-year-long education, it will take 300 years to reverse.

Even believers don’t really understand this spiritual reality. When this spiritual reality is established, powerful answers come. But when it is wrongly formed, terrifying consequences follow. Communism and capitalism are still in conflict today. Communism—formed by these people—is a terrifying force unseen to the physical eye, greatly destroying the world.

If we understand this, we will come to know the spiritual reality and the 25 answers of prayer. This is what Pharaoh said of Joseph in Genesis 41:38: “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the spirit of God?”

[Home, Church, Work]

You must first build spiritual houses in your personal life, family, church, and work. From now on, you must pray for your unseen family, church, and work.

[Bartizan]

You must clearly build an unseen bartizan. Try it.

[Concentrated, Continuous Prayer]

This is not mere repetition. What is needed is concentrated, continuous prayer. Then you will see amazing reality unfold. Start like this. Many people do things haphazardly. Truly decide what you will do for your family, church, and work—build the bartizan and continuously pray. Amazing things will arise.

Even now, I keep praying, “What must I do to establish 1,000 bartizans?” Pray with an actual plan. First, this (spiritual reality) will change. Because people don’t believe in this aspect, they only talk about what they can see.

[Hebrews 11:1–3 – Substance and Evidence]

Hebrews 11:1–3 says, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Though it’s unseen, it is substance and evidence. Even though I haven’t grasped it yet, what I hope for is substance. Though I cannot see it, it is evidence. Those going through hardship must hold onto this spiritual reality exactly as it is.

“Ah, what can I do when it’s so difficult?” Let me give just one example. When I first came to Yeongdo, our church was the smallest in the area, and we didn’t even have a building. Before coming to Yeongdo, my prayer was: “Even if I have no ability, if God is with me, it’s enough.” After arriving in Yeongdo, my prayer changed: “It will work because it’s Yeongdo.” Right? There was nothing there. It was by God’s power. So I determined to follow only the gospel, only evangelism, and only the Word. This spread endlessly throughout the world. Now, more works are arising abroad than in Korea. It must be that way. People who hear the Word just once overseas are experiencing works of God.

Just this week, in a certain country that has both a prime minister and a king, they were using the prayer journal. I asked why, and they said someone introduced it to them and they liked it so much that they’ve continued. The king even said, “I must visit Immanuel Church in Korea.”

So if you feel like it’s difficult, there’s no need to wonder why or what to do. You must hold onto God’s absolute plan. Our church is not acting a certain way because it’s in hardship. I didn’t see it that way. I believed that revival not aligned with God’s Word is not true revival. Right? That eventually leads to problems and no works. Any movement that strays from the Bible, no matter how large, is dangerous. Then, works began arising, even in places we’ve never been.

▣ Introduction – Reason

What is the reason? We already know three things.

1. The World’s Kingdom

The world’s kingdom thinks that as long as you eat and live well, it’s enough. But we are not at that level.

2. The Kingdom of Satan

Satan’s kingdom takes advantage of the worldly kingdom, which believes it’s fine to just live well.

3. God’s Kingdom (Work)

God gave us the final message through Christ: the kingdom of God and His work.

We understand the reason. These are things completely unseen, so those who only know what they see have no value. But true works arise here. In the end, answers come according to one’s level. In the end, answers come to what you think about. So faith is important.

▣ Main

Then what should we do?

1. Spiritual Reality – God’s Plan

You see reality and facts, but you must not only look at those. You must see the spiritual reality. Reality only extends so far—beyond that, it’s false. It’s just the visible layer. More important than that is the hidden reality. And even more important is the truth, which exists separately. Right? We must not be deceived. By understanding the spiritual reality, we can see God’s plan. Then, answers come.

2. The Lowest Place – The Highest Place

What else? We must not start carelessly. We must always begin at the lowest place and move toward the highest. If we start moderately, we cannot reach the highest. For example, if I have no money, I can’t start as if I do. I must start with what I have. If I only have 3, I must begin from 3. Starting at 20 would result in failure. From the lowest place to the highest.

What emerges at this time?

1) WIO
Holding onto the blessing that God is with me and enjoying Immanuel and Oneness.

2) CVDIP
Then, you’ll definitely see the covenant journey—CVDIP.

3) Absolute
From that point, we firmly hold onto God’s absolute plan and covenant. If it can or cannot be done, why risk your life on it? Hold to what is absolutely guaranteed. So during Sunday worship, hold onto the covenant all day and concentrate—not repeating, but with focused, continuous prayer. One day, it will appear as an answer.

3. Circumstances

Even before the answer appears, the solution comes first. So if you understand this spiritual reality, you’re okay in any circumstance. We all face circumstances.

1) With
In every circumstance, there is evidence of God being with you.

2) Preparation
In every circumstance, you see what God has prepared.

3) Victory
And in every circumstance, knowing the spiritual reality and actual reality, God prepares you for victory.

(1 Corinthians 10:13)
1 Corinthians 10:13 says, “God will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.” It also says, “He will provide a way out.” So today is an opportunity. When you worship on Sunday, you can cast aside all other thoughts. Pray, “God, let this be the day I truly build a spiritual bartizan.”

▣ Conclusion – Answer

If you concentrate like this, one day the answer will become visible to you. At that time, many unseen things will also become visible. But the conclusion we must draw is this: the answer is not the important thing—it’s what’s rightfully yours. Since we are human, we tend to focus only on the answer. But what God has prepared for you is far greater than anything you imagine—even beyond your own understanding. That’s why now is your opportunity.

When I talk with many of today’s young adults, I can tell they haven’t internalized this message. That’s understandable, but if you stay like that, what will happen in the future? What if an answer comes? Even that could become a problem. What if no answer comes? That too will be a problem. So your thoughts, prayers, and faith must first hold onto this unseen bartizan, because it will surely be fulfilled.

Prayer Content

As you continue this way, your prayers will start forming. Your prayer content will be established. Keep praying with that. During today’s Sunday worship, don’t just go through the motions. After the message ends, enter into deep prayer.

(5 Powers)

Lastly, if you enter into deep prayer, the five powers will be restored. The first of the five powers is this: you gain a spiritual strength that no one else understands—not even yourself. So in some ways, it’s not burdensome. When I preach, I hold onto a particular Word. And it’s such a joy to keep praying until God gives me the answer from that Word. I get excited. Then I deliver that—not my thoughts, but what’s in God’s Word, what God desires. I continue to pray for that. There are many blessings in this “joy,” if I can call it that.

May today’s worship be a time for you to restore these five powers. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, thank You for giving us the strength to carry out world evangelization and for blessing our work to be used for world evangelization. May we receive new grace today. Let this be the day we receive new strength that no man can give. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
