Pray Continually!

Pray continually. (1 Thessalonians 5:17)


Prayer is an ongoing awareness of the presence of God, connecting you to the throne of the Triune God (Hebrews 4:16; Revelation 8:3-5). It is far more than asking for what we need or want; it is living in conscious fellowship with our Father.

When we truly know that the One who created the universe out of nothing also cares deeply for us, prayer becomes as natural as breathing. We do not pray because we must, but because we cannot imagine life apart from Him. Enjoying our Father becomes our greatest joy and deepest satisfaction.

God speaks to us when we pray while holding firmly to His covenant. Samuel is a powerful example of this truth. From a young age, Samuel lived in the presence of God. As he lay down in the house of the Lord, where the ark of God was, the Word of the Lord came to him (1 Samuel 3:1–14). Samuel learned early that prayer was not a one-way conversation. It was a life of listening, responding, and walking closely with God.

As Samuel continued in prayer and obedience, Scripture testifies that God let none of his words fall to the ground (1 Samuel 3:19). This reveals why prayer was central to Samuel’s life and ministry. He understood that to stop praying would be to turn away from God’s will for the people entrusted to him (1 Samuel 12:23). Prayer was not optional—it was essential.

David also lived with a constant awareness of God’s presence. This awareness sustained him through both the finest moments and the darkest valleys of his life. His confession, “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing” (Psalm 23:1), was not poetic sentiment but lived reality. Whether resting in green pastures or walking through the valley of the shadow of death, David found that being with God was all he needed. Because of this intimate fellowship, God called David “a man after His own heart” (Acts 13:22).

God is not demanding that we accomplish something for Him. He desires that we remain with Him—anywhere and at all times. He is the source of life, wisdom, and strength, and apart from Him we can do nothing (John 15:7). Prayer keeps us connected to that source.

God never stops working, and He invites His people into that ongoing work through prayer. He calls us to be watchmen who never grow silent, day or night, continually calling on the Lord until His purposes are fulfilled (Isaiah 62:6–7). Our persistence in prayer is not meant to persuade a reluctant God, but to align our hearts with His unchanging will.

Prayer is also essential in spiritual warfare. We are not fighting with human strength or worldly strategies. The weapons we use are spiritual and carry divine power to demolish strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4). Prayer is the means by which that divine power is released.

This spiritual battle continues until our Lord returns. Therefore, clothed with the full armor of God, we are called to pray continually in the Spirit on all occasions, with all kinds of prayers and requests (Ephesians 6:18). Prayer keeps us alert, grounded, and strong in the midst of conflict.

Let your prayer always be filled with the joy of salvation. Do not allow circumstances to steal the joy of Christ within you. Learn to enjoy the One who answers prayer more than the answers themselves. His presence is the true reward.

Never stop praying. The throne of your Father is always open. Live confidently in your identity as His child and exercise the authority He has given you through prayer. What is bound and loosed in alignment with His will carries eternal significance (Matthew 16:19).

Stop worrying about your life and start praying. Your heavenly Father created the earth, formed it, and established it. When you call on Him, He promises to answer and to reveal great and hidden things you do not yet know (Jeremiah 33:3).


Prayer. Father, I desire to live in continual awareness of Your presence. Teach me to pray without ceasing and to enjoy fellowship with You in every moment of my life. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Summit Time Schedule

Theme: 『 The Start Towards Eternity 』 (2 Timothy 3:14-17)

Lecture 3: 『 The Summit Time Schedule 』


Introduction

▶ Children love their parents the most when they are in their infant and toddler years. They especially love fathers who play well with them. Once they graduate from elementary school and reach middle school age, they start to dislike you. It’s not that they dislike you for no reason, but children feel that there are too many differences in opinion. You need to renew yourself quickly, but because you can’t, they think, “My mom and dad just don’t communicate with me,” and they basically give up. One fortunate thing for me is that even though I don’t have much time to talk to my children, there are times we cross paths and have conversations, right? At those times, I remember my children later expressing, “My dad communicates well with me.” So, you can actually do everything during the infant, toddler, and elementary years. After that, it’s not that it’s impossible, but it becomes a different story. This is the “Summit’s Schedule.”

▶ You should take this as a reference: I don’t know what the standard for parents is, but if the parents are highly elite, it is easier for the children to become somewhat elite. The level of the mom and dad is a huge help to the children. I’ve mentioned this before, but there was a 5th or 6th-grade elementary student I was teaching who was so impressive. The child was pretty, kind, and studied well, so the whole church—not just me, but other teachers too—would say, “That child is so lovely.” The child was also very precise and diligent. And when it came to sharing the Gospel, I couldn’t believe how well they received it. But the parents were non-believers. Yet, the child was leading a proper life of faith. One time, for some unknown reason, the mother came to the church. I don’t know if she had to take the child somewhere, but at any rate, she came and asked for the child by name. At that moment, I thought, “Oh!” I hadn’t even spoken to her, but just seeing her come to find her daughter, I knew the moment I saw her that she was highly elite. You can’t know the inside, but that was the feeling. So I felt, “This is where the difference lies.” That’s why we must have a Summit Schedule with the children now. While the church must prepare this, it’s a help if parents just know a little bit about it. What did the Jews mainly do? They have taken over more than a third of the Nobel Prizes.

▶ Introduction- These people mainly conducted three movements.

Together with their children, they did the ① Talent Movement, this is important. This is what the Jews do. Next, they did something to plant the very important Jewish spirit. It’s called ② Kibbutz. That’s how they do it. They plant the best things in the children. Next, what these people do is the ③ Economy Movement. It’s scary. From a young age—we should at least use this as a reference. Even currently, almost all Jewish middle school students are trading stocks. Because they need to know what stocks are, the parents teach the children and do it together. They are that far ahead. This is what they are doing.

1) Talent Movement

(1) Books—Three Books (Word)—So, even though it’s different, because it gives influence, they make them read three books. They are required reading. Talmud, Shema, and Torah—all Jews must read these three. Because of this, something comes out of these three books that allows them to feel their talent. They already start by winning. For these people, these three books are, simply put, absolute books. The Talmud contains a lot of wisdom, doesn’t it? The Shema and Torah are books about the Law, but they still contain a lot.

(2) Great Figures (Christ)—There are many problems, but it’s still tremendous. They must tell at least one story of a great figure every day. This is something we should learn. Tell your children stories of great figures at least once a day. When I used to teach students, I would tell them about one person at a time. Why? Because it helps.

(3) Feasts (Together)—They keep the feasts strictly. Especially the three feasts—how do they do it? The father and children always do it together. They set up tents during these three feasts, right? They set them up together. Things like this become something tremendous.

(4) Sabbath (Worship)—Every year, they value the Sabbath like life itself. Put positively, it’s this: worship. Jews teach this.

(5) Bar Mitzvah (Talent)—Then, around age 13, they discover their talent. It’s called a Bar Mitzvah. This is when they specifically discover their talent. It’s quite intimidating. For this Bar Mitzvah, they gather professionals and do it together. It’s not just “I’m going to do this in the future,” but they gather all those professionals, talk together, and confirm it while listening to them. At this time, the people who attended the Bar Mitzvah give the money they have collected bit by bit to the child. These children call this “Seed Money” and start something. In special cases, some people give their entire estate to the child. Seeing this, they think, “You are definitely going to succeed; I will give the rest of my property to you”—it’s a special case, but those cases exist…

(6) Mission Ceremony (Synagogue)—There is a mission ceremony where they take on complete professionalism. This is mainly at the synagogue. The organization is set up like that.

(7) Sending Ceremony (Lodge)—And then they care for them until they go to the field. It’s the sending ceremony. This is done at the lodge. In this way, the Jews have no gaps. They raise the family from a young age and pick the top elites from within.

2) Kibbutz Movement—Elite

▶ Through this, they plant a strong sense of pride. They plant, “You are Kibbutz.” And even when the Jews lost their country, they made money through this. Simply put, sometimes they lend money and collect a lot of interest—they do things like that.

3) Economy Movement

(1) Finance—These people are doing finance against the whole world.

▶ Simply put, when Britain and Germany went to war, Britain reached out because the Jews had a lot of money. They asked for help, saying, “If you help us, we will help your nation; we will help you be liberated.” So they invested a huge sum. And they won, didn’t they? They won, but those people didn’t keep their promise. It’s not easy to keep. How do they keep it? Germany found out about this. Whether it was that occasion or another, Germany massacred 6 million Jews. This is most closely related to that. In this way, Jews taught the economy. To what extent do they teach? If you read Jewish books, they teach that people with money are people who believe in God well, and people without money are people who believe in God poorly. They teach this way, and they even take children to the mountains and make them grab a tree. With both hands, the father commands them to let go of their hands. They can’t disobey the father’s command, but he’s telling them to let go when they would die if they fell. The child knows that if they let go, they die, right? But since the father says to let go, at that moment, they ask the father to forgive them if they did something wrong. But the father says: “One hand you are holding is Jehovah God, and the other hand you are holding is money.” They teach like that. It’s surprising.

(2) Jewels, Gold—In this way, they took over all profitable commerce in the world, like jewels and gold. There are expensive jewels, aren’t there? Especially gold, because it’s the same as money. For example, when a developing country asks the U.S. to lend them money, there is a standard. They don’t just lend it. What is the standard when lending? “How much of your country’s gold have you secured? I’ll lend to you based on that; if you can’t pay it back, you can just bring the gold.” It’s at that level.

(3) Stocks—Now they are digging into this side with complete professionalism.

▶ We must absolutely use this as a reference. We must make children read books that give them strength. And we must make them read stories of great figures that give them strength. And they must absolutely find the answer through the Word and find the answer through Christ. We are different. We must let them know the true meaning of the three feasts. And we must teach the Bartizan/Journey/Guidepost prayer that Jesus taught. Then “Only/Uniqueness/Re-creation” will come out. That is our answer. So, looking far ahead, we start the preparation from the infant and toddler years.

Main

So if you have time, it’s good to do three things for sure. ① Prayer that revives the foundation, this is what we call “Summit Time.” It would be good to have this. Also, ② Prayer that revives the routine of life—since we have to make them Summits anyway. We will teach things like the Summit posture in our infant and toddler Sunday school, but if the parents understand this, it’s a huge help. Finally, ③ Prayer that revives the future—it’s good to teach at least this much. Preparing the Summit vessel. It’s so good to tell them this.

1. Prayer that revives the foundation—“Summit Time”

▶ Doing prayer that revives the foundation together with children is, in some ways, very difficult. Once your child goes to middle school, it’s impossible. If they’ve gone to high school or college, it’s forever impossible. Once they get married and start a household, you’re lucky if you aren’t being chased away. That’s how the situation becomes. You have to do it during the infant and toddler years. This is when you can plant everything. So, wouldn’t doing it every day be a bit difficult? But by setting a special day—in my view, Sunday is the best. On Sunday, have a designated Summit Time. So in their heads, they think, “On Sunday, we wake up a bit early and prepare to go to church; I do it with Dad, and the whole family does it together”—this is also fine. There are many parents who look down on the Lord’s Day, but that is giving the children such bad education. It’s not just saying “it’s good to keep the Lord’s Day,” right? Mom and dad break the Lord’s Day over something trivial. Then what happens to the children’s lives? That is the worst way to educate. So they should think, “My mom and dad think the Lord’s Day is so important.” Have Summit Time on that day at least. At that time, you can talk to the children about specific things.

(1) Brain—You should go a bit professionally into how to revive the brain and why it must be revived.

(2) Spirit (Soul)—Next, why do we worship and pray on Sunday? How do I revive my spirit?

(3) Body (Eternal)—How should I revive my body? It looks like the body, but talk about the things that are connected to the eternal.

▶ So for this hour of having Summit Time, I think the best thing is to simply teach breathing prayer. Then the brain, the body, and everything is revived. You have to tell children from a young age for it to be imprinted. Because it’s such a good thing, you can just do it together with the children while having Summit Time. It’s also fine when children say they feel a bit sick. Do it together—simply put, after my granddaughter caught COVID-19, a problem arose with her platelets. If there’s a problem with platelets, you die. It’s a serious problem, right? There was no way. They went to the hospital, and I intentionally explained it. I said to pray together, and intentionally do breathing together. I told them that just breathing in and out properly while praying for about 30 minutes would have a tremendous effect—it really did. She is almost completely cured now. It works. “Hey, if you want to study well, this (brain) has to come alive, and you do this when you pray”—then you end up teaching them all the important things. You are praying while enjoying the Bartizan/Journey/Guidepost that Jesus taught—that is Summit Time!

2. Prayer that revives the routine of life

▶ This is slightly changing the routine into life.

(1) Morning—”This is what you do in the morning when you are alone, even for a moment. You know what you did with Dad? Do it for a moment. On Sunday you do it with Mom and Dad, but on Monday you just do it by yourself—just for 5 minutes!”

(2) Day—”And do it together briefly during the day when it’s important or when it’s hard!”

(3) Night—”Do it for about 5 minutes at night before you sleep.” You are teaching something tremendous. It’s okay if it’s not put into practice at first. The fact that the children did it once is what’s important. Doing it once during childhood is better than an adult doing it for 10 years. You must raise children as Summits like this. How good is it?

3. Prayer that revives the future—“Preparing the Summit Vessel”

▶ Then you prepare them for this. If you continue this prayer, three things come. These are discovered.

(1) Talent

(2) Specialization

(3) Globalization

▶ Since talent is given by God, then you make it specialized through continuous prayer and having Summit time, and later, before you go out into the world, you become globalized. You have to make them draw this picture in advance. From when? From the infant and toddler years, when it’s best to be imprinted, within the schedule that never disappears, they go toward the Summit. Children will definitely change even if you just do it once in a while. That is the characteristic of children. So some children might be completely clueless but then go to a retreat and encounter something—they change. Some children go to a Summer school and change. The problem is the host who provides that, isn’t it? Some children go to a Winter school and the child changes. It happens like that. So before they pass into middle/high school too much, infant/toddler and elementary are the answer. Imprint the Gospel properly here. It will never disappear. If you imprinted the wrong thing at this time, it’s a disaster. Imprint what proper healing is at this time. Imprint what the Summit is.

Conclusion

(1) Teacher

(2) Parent

(3) Remnant

▶ If we call the trinity of this Summit training the church teacher, parent, and Remnant—don’t even think about many things; because it will definitely come out later, we do it now. So if the Gospel is correctly imprinted now, even people who have completely collapsed will be revived. As a representative example, someone like Helen Keller, whom you know well, was a person who couldn’t use her body, but one teacher did it continuously. So what is the principle? The things inside her were overturned. Infants and toddlers, needless to say, are the eternal start that determines their whole life.

▶ So this time, this year, our parents should think about it a bit too. Teachers, of course, must prepare properly, but parents should feel “This is the time I must have now; me properly enjoying the Gospel and receiving answers is naturally the first task of our family.” Knowing what healing is in this age is your mission. Making our Remnants into Summits is our remaining task. So this infant and toddler retreat will be an important schedule for obtaining the lifelong answer. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the infinite love of God, and the powerful works of the Holy Spirit be upon all infant and toddler teachers, parents, and Remnants, from now and forevermore. Amen.

The Greatest Time Schedule for Healing

Preschool / Kindergarten Ministers’ Retreat
Theme: 『 The Start Towards Eternity 』 (2 Timothy 3:14-17)

Lecture 2: 『 The Greatest Time Schedule for Healing 』


Introduction

▶ Today, our second session focus is that this “Ultimate Schedule for Healing” takes place during the infant and toddler years. First, as a point of reference, a missionary going to Kenya gave a brief report today; if you want to conduct ministry properly in places like Kenya, this area (healing) is extremely important. It is strange to jump in blindly saying “I will heal,” but it is even stranger to have no interest in it. One might think, “There are doctors, so what kind of healing ministry can we possibly do?” but that is not the case. The Gospel itself is healing. While it isn’t bad for doctors to perform examinations well and prescribe medication correctly, people do not become healthy through those alone. Because there are many spiritual problems, stress, and so many hardships, it cannot be solved by medicine alone. Our infant and toddler teachers must understand the concept of holistic healing. It wouldn’t be bad for you to become like experts in this field.

▶ First, there are three things you must consider.

① Young adults will eventually get married, right? You must find this answer during your young adults years. Most people barely think about this during that time. Then, what about the families of each nation? There are many spiritual problems. If you do not settle this firmly with the Gospel, it will be truly difficult. You have had that experience, haven’t you? After actually getting married, you later see that the number one cause among illnesses is heredity. Right? While some things come from my own negligence, heredity takes up a very important portion. Then, what about our Korean families? These are things we simply did in the past because we didn’t know. Therefore, you must already reach this conclusion during your young adults years. You must grab this covenant at the time of marriage. Only then is it directly linked to what comes after. Do infants and toddlers stay that way forever? No, they don’t. One day, the children grow up and go out into society; if they don’t have a clear answer to these things, it is truly problematic.

▶ I have a relative—a distant relative—whose mother was a very decent person. To the extent that I thought, “She is quite a good person,” even though we were distant relatives. However, for some unknown reason, she committed suicide. Was the family in hardship? Not necessarily. Though there may have been difficulties, she did it. My analysis is that there was a bit of a spiritual problem. But no one could help her, right? She must have suffered in agony alone before doing it. The problem is her children. Her daughter looks like her and is quite pretty, but she was four years old when her mother died. This shock does not just go away. Because this shock remains, she is continuously tormented. Others might not know, but I know. It’s bound to be that way. Fortunately, she recently received the Gospel elsewhere—not from our denomination; I don’t know if she truly received the Gospel or not, but at any rate, she attends church. Personally, I think it will be difficult for her to be healed. Why? Because the church knows nothing about this; they don’t even know what this kind of healing is. Thus, regarding both spiritual and physical matters, the very beginning of an illness is already formed during the infant and toddler years from birth. So, you don’t know how important this is. Therefore, the parents and teachers here must become experts in this. It has already come through these stages. Everyone, we are in an era of international marriage these days; what do you think the spiritual state of people living in other countries is like? It cannot be expressed in words. Even so, is Korea exempt? People get married in these situations. They do it while covering everything up.

▶ Introduction- If so, we must check this part at least once and pray.

1) Bartizan- Liberation (Me)

▶ As mentioned earlier, we must receive liberation from these long-standing issues. If you know, you receive liberation. Even just saying, “That is why He sent Christ,” brings liberation. If we are being deceived by others without knowing, we stop being deceived once we find out, don’t we? This Satan makes sure you don’t notice at all, focusing only on “me”—people know nothing but themselves. “Me”—people with many spiritual problems know nothing but themselves. It becomes more so as days go by. It has nothing to do with education. The more people learn, the more they know only themselves.

(1) Genesis 3/6/11- Knowing this, Satan grabbed hold of it, didn’t he? “You don’t need to believe in God; you are important”—he comes out this way. So people think “mine” is everything, but it turns out it belongs to the Nephilim. Thus, the greatest realization for us is “Us.” Us—that is the Tower of Babel. People have no idea they are going this way.

(2) Acts 13/16/19- Because they are used this way, though they become known to the world at home and abroad, they fall into this tremendous idolatry, shamanism, and unimaginable religious life.

(3) 6 Snares- Thus, they cannot do as they please. They are caught exactly in the 6 snares. This is the state.

▶ Therefore, even among those who say they believe in Jesus after receiving salvation, almost all are deceived by this (Me). If the Remnant you raised reaches an age where they express themselves one day, and they confess, “Ah, thank You, God, for saving me; I am thankful that I am God’s temple because the Holy Spirit is in me; so my thoughts are no longer important; God has prepared something more important for the path I take”—if they confess like this, your child has realized the Gospel. Right? That is what it means to have realized the Gospel. It means they were liberated from here. Since this isn’t happening, they remain unaware later on.

(4) John 16:11-14, Jesus expressed it. This world is invisibly the kingdom of Satan. Even non-believers live well for a moment.

(5) 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, why? Because the god of this age, Satan, appeared as the god of this age, so it temporarily looks as if things are working out.

▶ However, for the teachers who are raising them as infants and toddlers, it is okay. But parents—especially fathers—know nothing at all. They have no interest. They have no way of knowing. “Right now, I’m too busy living; first, I have to feed my children and go to work.” How many people are there who are born into a home with plenty of money? You need a house, too. Then, when the fathers of infants and toddlers—who are the most important—come to church, they don’t yet have a center to express themselves. Though it’s late, you at least have to be an elder to say something or do work in the church, but they aren’t at that age yet. Even at the workplace, it is a schedule where they must survive while walking on eggshells in every direction. Right? When they come home, they have to pay attention to their wives. If they don’t, it doesn’t work. Now, as this situation persists, they have missed everything that is so important. Then it’s a disaster, right? They must be aware. “The people of the world are caught in this right now”—fathers of babies just need to know this much. “Ah, that’s how it was.” Then they won’t be deceived. You will understand why works arise during religious life and then end in ruin, won’t you?

(6) Matthew 12:26-30, it didn’t end there; Jesus spoke directly. “Satan is establishing a bartizan right inside you.” It cannot work. So some people go to church, but if they don’t know this, they are just ‘attending’ church; there is nothing they can win over or escape from. No, you just need to know it once, just confirm it once, but they simply go back and forth. How unfair is that? So we must inform the parents, especially the precious fathers. Fathers must have a realization about healing to the point of becoming healing experts. If you know, it is not difficult at all.

(7) 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, Satan has set up camp as a fortress right inside us. We must destroy it. This is the first part of the Gospel.

2) Journey- The Spirit of the Triune God (Existence)

▶ If you are doing that, secondly, what must our parents—especially fathers—realize? The Triune God exists inside you as a Spirit. Now, the interpretation changes. God is inside us. So, what does the guidepost of your life become? You can view the previous part as a bartizan. You must remember this. Demolish the bartizans that have come to all humans and establish God’s bartizan. This is called the journey. Since we must live now, how do we live? We live by this strength. So, it’s not just anything; when you worship, what is the very first thing? “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” That is what this means.

3) Guidepost- God’s Things (Throne)

▶ From this point on, you establish the guidepost by faith. If you just do this, all healing begins to take place. The fate that was inside you cannot remain. This has been firmly established inside you. It cannot exist. From then on, what happens? One thing comes out that is completely different. Not my things, but God’s things—these become mine. Thus, throughout your lifelong path, the blessings of the Throne are mine. This journey of the Throne is my path. Living my life is establishing the guidepost of the Throne for my posterity.

▶ Through this, all healing begins. You must remember this.

So while other parts are important, for infants and toddlers, the foundation is being made right now. It cannot be helped. The foundation that must last a lifetime is being made now. No matter how much you deny it, it is a fact. Then, the spiritual problems that have come to you are bound to attack you without you even knowing. Through whom does that attack come? It is bound to happen through your posterity. We must block this. You just need to realize and say “Amen.” The moment I realized this, I thought, “Ah, yes! That’s why I must evangelize; I must let these people know.” Then, by what strength do I live? By this. What is the path remaining for me? By this. This is how you go. You must remember this, and specifically, why does the church exist? Because church members might not realize this.


1. In the Church- “7/7/7 Prayer Meeting”

▶ So what must be done in the church? In the church, you must now hold onto the infants and toddlers and start the 7/7/7 prayer meeting. You must do it with the thought that there is no one else to help this child. It would be great if the parents knew and did it, but what if they don’t know? In most cases, they don’t know. The school cannot possibly do it. Even school teachers are full of spiritual problems. They have more. You know the teachers who teach your children, don’t you? There are many people with serious spiritual problems. It cannot be helped. That is why it must be done in the church. Turn this into prayer and imprint it within the infants and toddlers. Why do we sing? Imprint it. Why do we keep doing dances while holding the children? Imprint it. So as much as possible, imprint the power of the Gospel.

1) 1 Samuel 3:1-19

▶ So that it becomes like this, just as works arose for young Samuel…

2) Psalm 78:70-72

▶ Looking at Psalm 78:70-72, this blessing came upon David from his youth.

3) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

▶ So Paul saw that although it was late, a path still remained, and he went to the synagogues. Though it was late, he went to the synagogues and didn’t teach other things—he taught the necessity of Christ! Why must it be Christ? Why is Christ needed? Why is Christ the answer? He taught this. Then, in 18:4, every Sabbath during worship, he went in to make these parts known. Thus, he made the Kingdom of God come upon our Remnants. No one can take this away. The Kingdom of God has come. Right? That is what Paul did. Where? He went to the posterity, and he truly did well. He never dreamed this would change the world, but it did change it. In the church…


2. Prayer of Blessing- “Laying on of Hands”

▶ So, everyone, infants and toddlers are important. Even if you hold the children and do it every week, it’s fine. You must do prayers of blessing. There is nothing as important as our children. Fathers and mothers have the right to bless. Right? Teachers have the right to bless. In Deuteronomy 21:5, pastors have the right to bless. They don’t have the right to curse. They have the right to bless. That is why the priest wearing the ephod had the names of the 12 tribes attached, right? That means 24, I am praying a prayer of blessing for you. So I think this is good. Holding our young Remnants and giving them prayers with the laying on of hands, prayers of blessing—if you don’t do this in the infant and toddler department, where will you do it? Does this strictly have to be done by old men? It’s okay. Teachers, pray prayers of blessing for the children, and if necessary—there are baby fathers here—proudly pray prayers of blessing for your children every single day. Right? This creates an immense difference. Some fathers tell their children every morning when they go somewhere, “God will bless you today.” There are people who hold their children and pray. It is important. Why? Because you must completely liberate them from spiritual problems during their childhood.

1) Genesis 22:1-23

▶ What do you think happened at this moment? Where is this? When sacrificing on Mt. Moriah, it was the scene where Isaac was about to die. Here, a ram takes his place. It’s a tremendous message, isn’t it? “Through you and through your seed, all nations will be blessed”—he planted the mission. “They shall possess the gate of their enemies.” Here, Abraham received a tremendous blessing, blessed Isaac, and came down. This kind of blessing must be delivered.

2) Genesis 32:23-32

▶ Also, even though it seems like nothing, Genesis 32 is the time when Jacob’s name is changed at the Jabbok River. “Let your name now be Israel.” From here, the 12 tribes of Israel emerge. It’s a tremendous name. Fathers have the right to bless. You must remember this. It’s not about “I need to have great faith.” A father has the right to bless his children. In the church, the privilege to bless our infant and toddler children has been given. We must bless our children. If so, Sunday worship is extremely important.

▶ I told you once before, didn’t I? When I was taking a break from church in Busan and moving around, which church did I go to? There is a place called Hialeah Base in Busan where American soldiers are seen. It’s still there. I went to that church. To see how Americans worship during the service, there was something they did every time I went. “That is truly something they do well.” Just as the Sunday service begins, little kids come in a line. These little kids are exactly infants and toddlers. They come to the front of the church, to the pulpit. The pastor gives a simple message to those kids. On the day I went, he pulled some snow out of his pocket and asked, “What color is this?” The children looked and said, “White!” Our sins are as red as scarlet, but Jesus made them disappear like white snow—he was telling this story. He probably did that to explain it to the children, right? Then the pastor prayed a prayer of blessing for the children. The kids received the prayer—perhaps knowing to do so by habit—and then trotted out. I looked to see where they were going, and there was a place where children gather. They went exactly there. Then they had the worship service. They do it so well; it was so good to see. The atmosphere was great, and you must make it so they achieve complete spiritual victory during their infant and toddler years.

3) Exodus 2:1-10

▶ I mentioned it earlier, didn’t I? This kind of schedule is needed. How much must she have prayed? Sending Moses to the palace—how much must she have prayed?

4) Matthew 18:1-10

▶ Even Jesus called the little children, embraced them, and prayed a prayer of blessing.

5) John 21:15-18

▶ At the very end, He requested, “Feed my lambs.”


3. Family Worship- “Materials”

▶ Now, if so, once a week is good. The most important thing: it would be great if you could recover family worship. If possible, in the infant and toddler department, provide materials so they can conduct family worship. So they can just read it. Then, while there will be families that don’t do it, there will be families that do, won’t there? Some might do it daily, and some might do it once a week. There is nothing bad about it, is there? Even if it’s once a month, why is that bad? It’s good. Or on special days, little children worshiping at home together with Dad and Mom. Give them these materials. It’s not just anything; it is extremely important.

1) Meals (Two Hours) (Children)

▶ How long are the meal times for the Jews? Jews truly cherish time. Right? In Jewish custom, if a close friend comes to visit me, they don’t meet. Would you do the same? If I went to visit Pastor Kim Chi-hoon, and Pastor Kim Chi-hoon said, “Don’t come,” and said it proudly, I would understand without any misunderstanding. The reason is, if there is no prior appointment—what we call an appointment—they absolutely do not meet. This is Jewish ideology. Why? To save time. However, meal time is 2 hours. Why do Jews spend 2 hours eating? If they eat three meals properly, isn’t that 6 hours? But you must know this. They do everything during this time. Especially for their children. It is extremely important. So we must learn what is to be learned. We should learn the good things from the Jews. 2 hours. During this time, they have forums, play music…

2) Family Newspaper

▶ If necessary, once the infant and toddler children grow, you can have them do it—a family newspaper is also good. Family news—that’s fine. Make the wife the president, the eldest son the manager, and the children are all reporters. Let them try making it themselves; that is also good. What I feel most regretful and sorry about is that because the evangelization movement arose through me from the early days, I never once had time to face my children. It’s regrettable, right? I also have things I want to say in my own way, but I would leave when these children were sleeping, and when I came back, the children had already fallen asleep. When I came home after finishing everything on Saturday, it was 10-11 PM. The kids were sleeping. Sunday is busy. I worship all day Sunday, and back then, because there were Monday-Tuesday conferences, I would leave immediately. Almost every day, there was no time to face the children. Regrettably, I missed all of this. I want to ask you. Please do it. Setting aside time for the children even once a week is fine; you must have this time for blessing and time for worship. It is so important.

3) Lunchbox Letters

▶ Even in the past, decent mothers would write letters in the lunchboxes when they packed them for the children. Along with the Word of God, and briefly too—these are the things that save the children. There is no reason not to do it. The key I am speaking of is: completely heal their spiritual illnesses during their infant and toddler years so that when they go out, they go out as people who heal. Realistically, this is a very important discussion.


Conclusion

1) 3 Organizations

▶ But the fact is the 3 organizations are doing all of this; it’s an unbelievable thing. Even though they are so busy.

2) Jews

▶ Specifically, among the 3 organizations, the fact that the Jews are doing all of this—a Remnant who went to America after hearing only my messages gave a report. He said he found out later. This entire company and hotel belong to Jews. However, Jews are in every important position among the employees. But he said that after finishing work, they kept gathering among themselves. So he said he slowly tried to follow them. Since he felt a bit self-conscious, he spoke up. He said the meeting looked so good and asked if he could join, and they told him to come. He went there, and sure enough, they were having a prayer meeting. After everything was over… this friend was to the point where he contacted me saying he wanted to stay there longer. These people are doing all of it. We are the only ones missing something right now. To the children…

3) Muslims

▶ Muslims do it tenaciously. Even in America, there is a place called Sedona, right? A professional place for meditation has been created there, and people gather from all over the country and the world. Now, I am not saying we should go that far. However, we must have the ability to achieve spiritual victory within our lives. We must have a grasp of what healing is.

▶ I will talk a bit more in the final hour. How we can help the Remnants while doing healing; so this time is not a simple retreat for workers. Right? Of course, you are workers, but I’m saying it’s not a simple teacher retreat. For infants and toddlers only, it is a general retreat. For infants and toddlers only, fathers must also gain strength; how tired must fathers be? Mothers must gain strength too. For our children, it is the final schedule. This is the situation. So with a peaceful heart, try to create your life a little bit next year. “I should help my children with something; I should help the children with something spiritual”—you must do this. Then the church can provide the materials. It is not difficult to make them. You can just provide the materials. In the past, I couldn’t hold meetings for children. Knowing that, although it was nothing, I wrote messages on slips of paper for those children. I didn’t need to do many; since I only had to do as many as the number of children, I photocopied them and gave them out. But these children actually do it! And when students do it, unlike adults, it shows. A wind rises in the children; through that one slip of paper—of course, the content of that slip is important. The content must be the Gospel. It is a slip that gives answers through the Gospel. On this side, I put their problems, and on this side, I give them the answer. It’s popular. Those kids have problems, right? They have many. I give them the answer. I just did that, and they revive.

▶ So, looking at your entire life, this year—in our year 2025—we must make an important start. You yourselves must be strong and healthy. Right? Let’s take a short break and then continue the lecture. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Thank You for blessing us so we do not miss the final schedule for infants and toddlers. May our fathers and mothers gain true strength. May our young Remnants enjoy spiritual blessings first. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Time Schedule of Making Your Life into Your Imprints, Roots, and Nature

Preschool / Kindergarten Ministers’ Retreat
Theme: 『 The Start Towards Eternity 』 (2 Timothy 3:14-17)

Lecture 1: 『 The Time Schedule of Making Your Life into Your Imprints, Roots, and Nature 』


▶ In every sense, for our young Remnants, this is the “Starting Point Toward Eternity.” Today’s first lecture is, in fact, a “Time for Life to be Imprinted” within our Remnants right now. Because what is imprinted will continue to take root and become a nature in the future, this is a critically important schedule. We must consider that such an opportunity may never come again. In the second lecture, I will talk a bit about healing, but the important things actually begin during the infant and toddler stages. If so, what must we do? This becomes a very important discussion. Serious spiritual problems actually start during the unborn, infant, and toddler stages. Your ministry is undeniably important. The final third lecture is about the Summit who becomes a great figure; that foundation is established starting from the unborn stage and is completed during the infant and toddler years. From that perspective, this is an extremely important time.

▶ When I was young—exactly during my infant and toddler years—I started going to church.

Since it was before I started school, a church was established in our village. Because my mother lived her life of faith so fervently, in my case, I had no choice but to be fervent as well. Most people just go back and forth to church, but my mother lived her life of faith by staking her life. So, we grew up watching that. When I went to church as a child, there was a teacher we called the “Bundle of Stories.” That teacher’s nickname was the Bundle of Stories. So, he would tell us so many fun stories. It was nice. Because it was so fun, we used to wait for him when we were little. He was so good at telling stories in an entertaining way. Eventually, this person became something like a minister. Since he taught us as a minister-like figure, he had a good personality, sang well, and seemed well-equipped. We asked questions. He was a man, but we wondered how he could sing and teach so well; even the church members acknowledged him to that extent. The interesting fact is that I never once heard the Gospel from him. This is the problem. This person had no interest in the Gospel at all. I don’t know if he was interested in a religious life, but he had zero interest in the Gospel. When I was a child, during that most important infant and toddler period, I had never even heard the term “Jesus Christ” deeply. This is the problem. Therefore, children are being imprinted right now in a way that doesn’t show. And from what is imprinted, it takes root and becomes a nature.

▶ So, as I got older and looked back, and even as I grew up to become a minister myself, I honestly couldn’t distinguish whether the church teachers and pastors truly had the Gospel. Even when I was young—in my young adults years—as I looked at the pastors, they were wonderful people. They were wonderful, but I couldn’t judge if they truly had the Gospel. That is why, naturally, when problems arise, people completely change. There are many such problems within the church, aren’t there? Many occur. Every time a problem arises, people change. So, it’s not that I saw it wrong. Ah, it seems something is not the Gospel; I had such worries as a child, but once I tried to work as a minister, those worries really began. Then, I served as a minister for the first three years, and it was so difficult. The act of being a minister was hard for me. That is when I realized. I realized that I was not about the Gospel at all. I had simply chosen to be a minister. Also, many people talked to me and kept saying, “You would be a good pastor,” so even though it wasn’t me, I thought that way and made the choice. Because I became a minister, the only thought in my head was that I had to do well. How should I do well? To whom should I do well? I didn’t know those things. And the children simply could not hear the Word at all. That was my experience as a minister. After finishing Summer Bible School, even though I naturally have a strong throat, my voice would go completely hoarse. It was so hard, but then one day, I realized something small. Ah, right now I am not about the Gospel at all; this is the final opportunity for these precious children, so shouldn’t I be preaching the Gospel? From then on, I began to change. Right, I held onto just that one thing, but changes began to occur in my life. So, after those three years as a minister, I began the Gospel movement in earnest.

Introduction- Then what are the Jews doing? The Jews who faced destruction were doing three things. It is not much different from us. ① They teach the “Chosen People” ideology. You are a child of God—that’s good. However, the Jews specifically teach that only Jews are the chosen people. ② They teach the ideology of the Law. You must keep the Law—these aren’t bad words. Then, ③ since they must succeed, they say they must conquer the world—these probably aren’t bad words either. However, the essence of the Gospel cannot be found here. So, this was the beginning of the Jews’ downfall.

1) Chosen People Ideology (Gentiles)

▶ When they talk about the chosen people ideology, the word “Gentile” is included. Since you are Gentiles and we are the chosen people, they become targets of attack.

2) Ideology of the Law (Christ)

▶ And because these people emphasize the Law so much, they cannot understand the term “Christ.” We don’t receive salvation through this, do we? What we must solve now is Original Sin. So, they come to not understand the term “Christ” at all. Since we fundamentally left God, we cannot meet Him, right? And we cannot escape from Satan. So, God gave the word “Christ”—this tremendous word—but they don’t know it.

3) Ideology of Conquest (Success)

▶ Because of that, they keep trying to succeed. This was the church.

▶ Body- So, this isn’t right. That is how I came to understand the Gospel, and it is enough if you understand the Gospel correctly here.

① 12 Problems- First, what is it? The Gospel is being liberated from the 12 problems. Absolutely, without Christ, there is no liberation. We must come out of Satan’s trap, Satan’s frame, and the snare, but we cannot. That is why God promised Christ.

② The Spirit of the Triune God (John 14:16, 26, 16:13, Acts 1:8)- Next, what is the Gospel? Surely, the Spirit of the Triune God is with me. When this happens, everything completely changes. The Holy Spirit is with our little infant and toddler Remnants. Right? We must never miss this. The Triune God is still working through the Word, through answers to prayer, and through the work of salvation, and that Spirit is with us. That is why Jesus said, “When I go, I will send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, to be in you for eternity.” This is what Jesus said at the very end. So, this Holy Spirit will make you realize things; 16:13 says He will not only make you realize everything but will be with you for eternity; this is the conclusion Jesus drew. And finally, He called them to Mt Olive, and since it cannot be done by anything else, only by the Holy Spirit, to do world evangelization, only by the Holy Spirit, to receive that power, only by the Holy Spirit…

③ No Me/W.I.O.S (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17)- Now, this much is the Gospel, but the third thing is even more important. It is “Me.” There can be no such thing as “Me.” This much is the Gospel.

▶ Our Remnants are absolutely not “my children.” Not only is the Holy Spirit with them, but God is with our Remnants. Now, something tremendous comes out of this difference. So, although it looks like our teachers and parents are raising our infants and toddlers, that is absolutely not the case. God is raising them with a purpose. We are just doing the errands for that. That is why we pray. If these three things are not delivered in every field, the Gospel has not been delivered. At first, the infants and toddlers might not know, but they are Remnants who receive God’s guidance. They receive it without knowing. As the children grow, they come to realize it. “Ah, God is leading me; my entire life comes from here”—it must be this way. If this doesn’t happen, they return to the original Genesis 3. Most people living a religious life do not know this fact. In some ways, even a husband is not “mine.” It’s a problem if you think he is yours. He is a child of God. A wife is not “mine.” She is a daughter of God. We must have this perspective for everything. That is why most people are not only not liberated and unable to enjoy this, but they all go toward a “me-centered” life.

▶ Now, will you be able to raise the infant and toddler Remnants well? This is very important. It’s not about being right or wrong. We must always do what God wants. So Paul said this: “We—I—have died with Christ, right? There is no ‘me’; Christ lives in me”—this is the Gospel. But why is it okay if ‘me’ is gone? Because we have become a new creation. The Gospel is the delivery of these three things. Then later, when the infants and toddlers grow up, they won’t go according to their own thoughts, but according to God’s plan. Is there anything greater than that? As your children grow, they won’t live as they please, but will grow within God’s plan. However, in reality, we are unable to enjoy this important Gospel properly and unable to teach it. In some ways, we are liberated. Is that not something to be thankful for? You can just say “Amen,” right? In some ways, God’s Holy Spirit is with us as a spirit; you can just say “Amen.” But the problem is that “Amen” doesn’t happen here. At the very end, in the practical things, it doesn’t happen. So, we must never teach our children according to our own level. We must teach them at God’s level. Right? If you teach your children at your level, it will be a disaster. You must teach them at God’s spiritual level.

▶ The time that gives the most influence on these parts is the infant and toddler years. It might be a difficult story, but it is the easiest story. In some ways, I have no plans for my future. Why should I make those plans? God has been with me until now and will be with me in the future, so I can just follow. If there is something to do, it’s asking, “What is my fault?” I just need to realize that. Isn’t that right? If there’s something to do, that’s all there is. And then I follow God’s plan. The 7 Remnants succeeded, and they all made this confession. This is called W/I/O. When this system is made, it becomes completely different. From this point on, our Remnants will go on the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guidepost. As representative examples, the 7 Remnants all received all of these blessings. So, when the 7 Remnants didn’t have parents, what kind of answers arose? These answers arose. By the grace of their parents and the grace of God, they received salvation and enjoyed the strength of prayer, but for the remaining schedule, they completely received God’s guidance. It’s simple. You must never miss this. The accurate Gospel must be delivered to our children. “You were saved from here (the 12 problems), you possess this blessing (the Spirit of the Triune God) right now, and if so, your life is under God’s guidance,” right? It is this. In other words, “God rescued you from darkness, and God is with our Remnant right now as the Counselor Holy Spirit. If so, the remaining schedule of our Remnant is going completely within God’s blessing.” Delivering this is the Gospel. In the second hour, I will talk about some serious things, but regarding this part, a lot of spiritual things are delivered to these young Remnants, and it is important whether the truly true Gospel is being delivered.

▶ So, when you listen to the confessions of those who lived their life of faith well, numbers 1 and 2 are a given, and this (No Me) is what’s important. The famous Mrs. Ahn Yi-sook—wasn’t she a pastor’s wife? That person said it like this: “I am thankful if I am alive, and it is even better if God calls me,” right? “I am thankful if I am alive, and if God calls me, it is even better”—this is unstoppable. Later in life, she got cancer. She was so thankful for that. Why? Because she was going before God; this is unstoppable. She also said things like, “My entire life belongs to God.” “I can go through fire, and I can go through water.” All the seniors of faith and the Remnants were like this. “Because Jehovah is my shepherd, I lack nothing; I truly have no lack”—this is David. When our Remnants grow up and enter into difficulties, they are enjoying this covenant. That is God’s goal and our goal. Is that not right? Since our posterity tries to succeed, they have to go into difficulties, don’t they? Sometimes they went as slaves, and sometimes they went to prison like Joseph; they were enjoying this blessing from the very beginning. Not once did Joseph say “I…”. This is the key. For someone who has properly realized the Gospel, it is not “I.” It comes out as “God…” “Hey, how did you survive?” “Because Jehovah was with me.” Even when interpreting the King’s dream, it was not “I.” He said he couldn’t do it. He said Jehovah would make the King’s dream known. This is Joseph’s story. Which is correct? Joseph’s story is correct. If it were us, we might twist our words a bit and say, “Interpreting dreams is my specialty.” It wasn’t that. We are making our Remnants say, “Jehovah…”


1. Imprinted When the Person Doesn’t Know

▶ Now, to do this, right now is the best time for delivery; it is being imprinted while the person themselves does not know.

1) Genesis 37:1-11 (Jacob)

▶ Look at the Bible. In Genesis 37:1-11, Joseph firmly grabbed the covenant of world evangelization. In the background, as shown in verse 11, there is a person named Jacob. That means he didn’t suddenly hear the story and say it’s true or not. As you know, to Jacob, Joseph was a great figure. He was a person Jacob was truly praying for with hope. It was the same for the other sons, but humanly speaking, it was so. God’s plan was in there. To put it simply, when Jacob tried to marry, you shouldn’t think of it like nowadays. In the old days, there were few people. So people married within the same tribe because there were no people. So, the person Jacob originally tried to marry was Rachel. Right? The person he originally tried to marry… but his father-in-law—his uncle—exploited him. Looking at that time, it wasn’t bad at all. Since he wanted to give Leah, he saw Jacob trying to marry Rachel and decided to exploit that. He gave them one by one from the top and kept making him work. Everyone knows this. Jacob knew, and the father-in-law knew too. Those wives—they all knew. They knew why it happened this way, but the person Jacob truly prayed for was Rachel. Right? The son born that way was Joseph. While giving birth to the second, Benjamin, she died. It was a great relief. If she hadn’t died then, she would have influenced Joseph too much and he wouldn’t have become governor, so that was okay too. Within that, Jacob and Joseph communicated. So when he told his dream, Jacob kept it in his heart. Everyone, this thing that is imprinted when you are young—it is a fearful thing.

2) Exodus 2:1-10

▶ Look now. To this young Moses—exactly during his infant and toddler years—all the Gospel and prayer were imprinted. What happened later? You know that. Simply put, for Moses, when he was young, exactly during his infant and toddler years, the accurate Gospel was imprinted.

3) 1 Samuel 3:1-19

▶ Look at 1 Samuel 3:1-19. It is Samuel when he was young, exactly during his infant and toddler years. Here, the Word of God and the secret of prayer were imprinted. Without him even knowing—this is called grace. That is how your children are right now. So, if you imprint something other than these three things at this time, it is practically a disaster. Right? It is to destroy them. The Gospel of liberation, the Gospel of salvation, and the Gospel of saving the world must be imprinted in our young Remnants. If your children—these Remnants—grow up and say, “I am not very important,” then that child has become very mature. Right? Even at home, if they say, “I am not very important; I am fine because God is with me,” then for this child, it’s actually over. If number 3 is not delivered, they miss all the actual answers.

4) 2 Timothy 1:1-5

▶ In 2 Timothy 1:1-5, this covenant and tears were already delivered to Timothy in his home when he was young.

5) Esther 2:1-10

▶ Actually, in Esther 2:1-10, it shows Esther becoming queen. She has no parents. But Mordecai raised her. Right? Her cousin/brother raised this daughter. He raised her and made her queen. When she became queen, this is what Mordecai said: “When you go into the palace, absolutely do not reveal that you are a Jew.” A tremendous covenant is contained in that. Like this, parts that are already imprinted when they are young, while being raised, become tremendous.


2. Questions – “Giving the Answer with Christ”

▶ Now, if so, infants, toddlers, and children ask questions. And you can ask questions too. When this happens, it is a golden opportunity for Christ to be witnessed. The work you are doing now is this work, and even for this alone, I am thankful. But for children, questions come out. They even ask trivial questions. Those questions are important.

1) Personal

▶ For example, they ask personal questions.

2) Work

▶ Also, when something happens, they ask questions. “Teacher, what is this? Mom, Dad, what is this?” When they ask, these times are important. For example, when my daughter was an infant/toddler, she barely understood Korean, and she had a close friend. They lived in the same apartment and went to the nursery/daycare together. But my daughter was shocked and asked me one thing. To put it simply, because her very close friend went to the same kindergarten, that close friend’s father committed suicide. Even though it was her infant/toddler years, she understood that suicide means taking one’s own life. She asked why, saying she was shocked. She was talking to me about it. Since I couldn’t meet her often, she told me in the elevator while she was going somewhere and I was going to do business. She said her friend’s dad committed suicide. So I told her. At times like this, you must plant the decisive thing. “The Holy Spirit is with anyone who is a saved child of God; it’s just that He is invisible. A person who is not saved, no matter how kind they are, cannot have the Holy Spirit with them. Because they don’t believe in God and always worship idols and always do other things, they actually receive the guidance of evil spirits. While receiving that guidance, things became too difficult and they fell there.” Isn’t this a golden opportunity? You can tell the certain Gospel. To children, during their infant and toddler years, they ask questions that seem like nothing in their own way. To them, they are not questions that mean nothing. Every time this happens, this must be witnessed. It’s a golden opportunity.

3) Neighbors

▶ Also, as children go about, isn’t it mainly this? Questions about neighbors—children ask them.

4) Relatives

▶ Questions about relatives…

5) Church members

▶ Since they go to church, questions about church members—through these trivial things, Christ must be imprinted and witnessed to the children. Because for young infant and toddler Remnants, this is everything. Sometimes you might throw a question to them, but there are times when children ask. Especially when they ask their mothers, what do you answer during these questions? You aren’t just telling the correct answer. To these children, as much as possible, Christ must be explained. It seems like nothing, but it is a golden opportunity.

▶ Let me give an example. When someone was young, an accident happened and they could no longer see. They couldn’t see, and this child had nowhere to go. Only when evening came and the mother finished work would she come. When the mother came, the child would keep asking questions. How tired must the mother be after coming from work? Yet her child is blind. But every time, she explained the important Gospel. Especially, she gave explanations about how God leads us; this changed the world. If the mother had answered wrongly then, what would have happened? If the mother only talked about her lamentations then, and if the mother only spoke negative things then—it’s easy for that to happen, isn’t it? Back then, talking about how we lived wrong—it wasn’t that. She always explained the Word about Christ. Perhaps because that mother was someone living a life of faith, she thought there was nothing but this. But to this child, it wasn’t just that. To Fanny Crosby, who was young and couldn’t go anywhere, a decisive imprinting occurred. It’s unstoppable. Later on, to what extent did it go? When Crosby got older, her personhood had completely changed. It became like this. This is important. Parents and teachers today must not miss this. This was achieved. So she said this: “Before, my prayer was for my eyes to open so I could see. Now it is not,” this is Crosby’s story. “Now it is not. I do not want to see now, because God leads my entire path.” Truly. So all her hymns are about walking the path, aren’t they? Crosby’s hymns are moving the world even now. This entered during her infant and toddler years. That mother planted it. Since she had nowhere to go back then. The house was poor, and it could have been such a bad situation, but we are prone to hearing only correct but wrong stories—stories that lead to destruction—continuously. When young. When she was young, her mother answered the questions she asked from time to time with Christ. Even though they weren’t always together, she did it when she came in the evening. It is extremely important.


3. Conflicts – “Together”

▶ And what else can we do? There are times when children have conflicts. At these times, there is something we truly must tell them.

▶ It is something my mother told me, and it helps. My mother always said this to me: “You are the eldest son. Being the eldest son is like that; you have to understand and do everything.” Thinking about it, I am the eldest son. Since there are three younger siblings under me, it’s not a big deal, but I thought, “Ah, I have to endure.” I had those thoughts when I was young. It seems like nothing, but it goes on as leadership for a lifetime. It’s a bit different. When I look at my siblings’ thoughts, they are so different from mine. Those children think they must receive help for something. Until the day they die, they come to me for help. It’s fearful. They live their whole lives like that. But I received education from the time I was young that I shouldn’t receive help from others and that I must do something myself. Being young is important. What must we teach our children? “You are different. God is with you. It’s different. In some ways, you must yield to non-believers. Why? Because those people are non-believers and God is with you.” When an unfair thing happens, “There’s nothing to be unfair about. That person is a non-believer. You are God’s daughter. You are God’s son.” You must imprint this. So, “Ah, I see.” This seems like nothing, but amazing works that overturn their future lives begin to arise in children. Right now is an incredibly important schedule.

▶ There are things you say without even knowing. When children are young, it’s better not to say things like, “We have no money.” Since there is none, you end up saying it. I heard it a lot too. Because I realized the Gospel, it didn’t become a wound, but if I hadn’t, it could have been a wound. Because I have the personality of listening to things in detail and not forgetting, such things can be a wound. I remember being pointed out by someone when I was young even until now. My personality is a bit like that. What can be done? But our elders always say things without knowing, like they can’t do something because there’s no money. I heard it a lot. “We can’t do it because there’s no money”—it was very miserable. You must absolutely not say such things. “We do what God requires; if God doesn’t give it now, it means it’s not needed,” right? God is opening the way overseas for everyone else, but it didn’t open for me; if God doesn’t need it, He doesn’t open it. You must always tell them this.

▶ I still remember, I fought with a brother in our neighborhood who was one year older than me. We fought, and this brother was so… how should I say… he was a brother whose front and back didn’t match. Since he was a year older, he is an older brother, right? He’s a brother who says things that don’t make sense. When we fight, he changes his words instantly. I won’t say his name, but I still remember his name. We fought, and my mother came and said something to me. After listening, she scolded me. At that time, I was truly annoyed. “No, I am talking because it’s so unfair, but my mother is telling me I am wrong.” What could I do? I endured. I endured, but as time passed throughout my life, I realized it more and more. “Right, the one who is wrong is me for fighting and getting wounded by such a person.” He truly is a very strange person. But my mother’s point was, “Why are you dealing with such a person?” I didn’t understand that then. “Why are you doing this to me when I am not at fault?”

▶ When a conflict arises, you must explain clearly. “It seems like nothing, but you are a child of God. You are not a non-believer. You must save them. When you go to school, you aren’t studying to follow the world. You are checking the things of the world to save the world.” You must do this clearly. So right now, you are probably already doing all of this. Because you are people who know the Gospel, but you must let them know how they should know the Gospel when we say they know it. In some ways, for us who are saved, we don’t need to worry about ourselves, do we? Not just in some ways, but it’s the accurate answer. There’s no need to worry about how your children and the Remnants will live in the future. If they just enjoy this answer. So, imprint the accurate Gospel. When there are all kinds of problems, and when conflicts come, you shouldn’t just teach other things, and if you force it, they won’t understand. “You are a child of God, and doesn’t that person not know God?”

1) The 7 Remnants

▶ All 7 Remnants were like that. “You are a child of God. Because it is certain you will receive God’s blessing, there is no need to fall or be tested due to conflicts with other things.” Not only the Gospel but this was also imprinted in the 7 Remnants.

2) Future (CVDIP)

▶ Because of this, the characteristic is that they came to see the future when they were young. As your children grow, since they enjoy this answer, they will be able to see the future. This is called CVDIP. It always comes out. So, as mentioned earlier, this blessing is with me, and the God who works as Immanuel and Oneness will surely give your children three things. You must guide them up to this point. Teachers and parents in the church must guide the Remnants up to this point. Up to where? Until they discover “Only.” And if they discover “Only,” “Uniqueness” follows the Remnant. Then it is fine no matter where they go in the world. It’s “Re-creation.” Until this becomes their own, you must do this for them. It doesn’t matter how old they are.

3) OURS

▶ One day, the day comes when they discover this. “Ah, the ‘Only’ given to me is this.” Since it surely exists. Then you can leave them alone. Up to this point is the very important schedule for imprinting the Gospel.


Conclusion: Trinity

1) Praise- Then together, since the Triune God is with our Remnants, we praise with Him. This is called praise. David always praised, didn’t he?

2) Prayer- We pray together with the Triune God.

3) Recitation- Something slightly important is that the Word is the Word, but the most important thing during the infant and toddler years is to recite important scriptures. If you don’t do it then, when would you? It’s okay if they forget later when they grow up. There’s no need to know too much of the Word, but so that they can recite important words—the person who recited the most was David in the Old Testament, wasn’t it? David was reciting the Word to the point of writing many psalms. It’s quite a relief.

▶ One day, it comes. The Remnants themselves might not even know this.

1) Genesis 3:15 → Governor

▶ Uniquely, a descendant who held onto this Gospel came out, and one day this descendant became a governor who saved the world. No one knows that.

2) Exodus 2:1-10 → Exodus

▶ Also, after this Gospel and prayer were imprinted by his mother, there was never a time when as many works happened as through Moses. The history of the Exodus, the processes that arose, in the wilderness—there is no need for further words.

3) 1 Samuel 7:1-15 → Samuel, David

▶ This is the Mizpah movement. If you look closely at the Mizpah movement… others might not look closely. Look closely. There, it shows them giving a blood sacrifice and building an altar. With just this one thing, there was no war while Samuel was alive; and David, who held onto this covenant, conquered the Philistines.

4) 2 Kings 2:9-11 → Dothan City

▶ Through one small thing, he understood what this covenant was when he was young, and God entrusted the Dothan City movement to this person. it transcends imagination. Right now, the teachers, workers, and parents here are doing this without knowing such facts in some ways. However, you cannot imagine the things that will arise from your posterity. So, this Remnant movement is not just a movement. It is a movement God is having you do. It was so in every age.

5) Isaiah 7:14 → Babylon

▶ Look. The Gospel that Isaiah spoke of—the people who kept this in their hearts went into Babylon. Everyone else forgot Isaiah’s message, but a few people went in holding onto it. These people became the heroes of Babylon. It had to be so, didn’t it? Because this covenant was needed in Babylon—Immanuel—that work took place.

6) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

▶ Paul dug into the synagogues. What happened after that? After that, the Remnants with the Gospel who were in those synagogues were scattered throughout the world. In 70 AD, Rome destroyed Israel, didn’t they? At that time, one rabbi from a synagogue went to General Titus and made a request. “It is okay to kill us all. You may kill us now. But please promise just one thing.” He asked what it was. “Please do not destroy the synagogues where the children gather.” General Titus was a human too, and he had children of his own; after listening, he realized it wasn’t a bad request, so he asked not to destroy the places where children gather. He said okay. But within those synagogues, there were children who grew up—children with the Gospel. These people later conquered Rome. The Roman general never even imagined it. It happens this way.

▶ So, with a peaceful heart, from now on, it is our mission to imprint the true Gospel into our Remnants with composure. In the second hour, I will talk a bit about healing later. It must be done. People have caught so many rare diseases; it’s mostly from when they were young. After that, we must actually make them the Summit. When? How? I will do that in the third hour. Because it is such an important schedule, God will give you the greatest grace. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we sincerely give thanks to You. Thank You for giving us the most important schedule. May the accurate Gospel be delivered to our young Remnants. Thus, bless them so they may achieve true victory. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do Not Be Anxious About Anything

Philippians 4:6-7. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


How is it possible not to be anxious about anything? It begins with recognizing a foundational truth: every situation of your life is under God’s absolute sovereignty. He is the One to whom belong greatness, power, glory, victory, and majesty, and everything in heaven and on earth is in His hands (1 Chronicles 29:10–14).

Thus, nothing in your life is random, overlooked, or outside His control. He knows you completely—your thoughts, your words, your actions, and even what you cannot yet understand about yourself (Psalm 139:1–10). God the Father faithfully carries out His covenant through His Word in every circumstance of your life.

God the Son, Jesus Christ, has already dealt with the fundamental cause of all problems. Through His death and resurrection, He destroyed the power of sin, Satan, and hell. At the cross, He endured suffering beyond measure so that you would not grow weary or lose heart in the struggles of life (Hebrews 12:3). The fears that once ruled humanity were broken at Calvary. Because Christ has finished His work, the kingdom of Satan no longer has the authority to dominate those who belong to Him.

God, the Holy Spirit, now lives within you. He is guiding and empowering you to live as a witness of Christ wherever you are. In moments of weakness, when you do not even know how to pray, the Spirit Himself intercedes for you with groanings too deep for words (Romans 8:26). The work of the Triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—may be beyond full human explanation, but it is undeniably real and at work in your life right now.

Believing and confirming the reality of the Triune God in your life is the true beginning of prayer. When you believe that Jesus is the Christ and receive Him as Lord, God grants you the extraordinary privilege of approaching His throne. Jesus declared that He has given His people the keys of the kingdom of heaven, with authority to bind and loose according to God’s will (Matthew 16:19). Prayer is not a powerless religious ritual; when offered in the name of Jesus, it connects your heart, mind, brain, and body to the throne of the Triune God. This privilege belongs only to the children of God.

Before you pray, remember the mystery of Immanuel—God with us. Through Christ, you have been sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, who guarantees your inheritance and confirms your heavenly identity (Ephesians 1:13–14). You are not praying from a position of fear or uncertainty, but from a heavenly background where God’s power and presence already surround you.

You must also trust that when you pray, your Father delights to give you the greatest gift of all—the fullness of the Holy Spirit (Luke 11:13). He does not withhold what is good. The God who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all will surely, along with Christ, graciously give us all things according to His will (Romans 8:32).

Because Jesus, your True Priest, lives in you, you can approach the throne of grace with confidence, not hesitation. There you will receive mercy and find grace exactly when you need it (Hebrews 4:16). Prayer is not merely about receiving answers; it is about encountering God Himself. In His presence, you discover the deepest joy—being with your Father. When you ask in Jesus’ name, God acts so that the Son may be glorified (John 14:13).

As you continue to experience God’s presence through prayer, you will grow strong in His grace. You will begin to see His plans unfolding in you and through you, even in situations that once caused fear. In every circumstance, you can bring your requests to God with confidence and peace.

Learn to live a life of prayer. Scripture calls us to pray continually, making prayer the rhythm of daily life rather than an occasional activity (1 Thessalonians 5:17). While setting aside specific times for prayer is valuable, as seen in the life of Daniel and the Early Church, prayer should also be as natural as breathing—constant and life-giving (Daniel 6:10; Acts 3:1). Praying together with other believers also releases great spiritual power and unity (Matthew 18:19–20).

When you pray, begin with praise by acknowledging who God is—the Lord to whom belong all greatness, power, glory, victory, and honor, the Ruler over all things (1 Chronicles 29:11–12). Come honestly before Him, confessing your sins without hiding or excuses, and experience the cleansing and freedom made possible by the sacrifice of Christ (Psalm 32:5). Hold firmly to what your True Priest accomplished on the cross, where the power of sin was broken once and for all.

Give thanks to God in all circumstances, trusting that His plans are perfect even when they are not yet clear (Ephesians 5:20). Do not forget to lift others in prayer, because intercessory prayer is powerful and effective and brings healing to both the one who prays and the one who is prayed for (James 5:16).

God is not demanding extraordinary religious performance from you. He simply calls you to trust Him. Remain in His Word, allow His promises to shape your prayers, and let His truth guide your life (John 15:7). Know and use the authority of the name of Jesus when you pray, ask in faith, and believe that you have received what you asked for according to God’s will (John 14:14; Matthew 21:22; Mark 11:24).


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the privilege of prayer and the peace You promise through it. Teach me to trust You fully and to live a life of continual prayer, anchored in Your Word and guided by Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now That You Believe That Jesus Is the Christ

Lord, I thank you for sending your Son as the answer to all my problems, past, present, and future.

I believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God: the true Prophet, the only way to God; the true Priest, who set me free from all curses of sin; and the true King, who destroyed the power of the devil.

I believe Jesus died on the cross to take away all my sin, rose again on the third day from the dead, and now works through the Holy Spirit in my life.

Thank you for making me your child when I believed. Thank you for answering my prayers when I pray in Jesus’ name. Thank you for guiding my life through the Holy Spirit. Thank you for forgiving all my sins. Thank you for leading me to victory over the enemy.

I now invite you to the throne of my life as my King. Fill me with the Holy Spirit as I pray in this moment. Help me experience the power of the gospel and enjoy the blessing of your presence throughout the day. May all the forces of darkness and unbelief in my life be broken down in the powerful name of Jesus Christ!

Amen.

Build the Ark

2026.01.04 Sunday 2nd Service
Domestic Evangelism Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Genesis 6:1-14


Introduction
We say, “We live for God.” However, our ability is not something God needs. Our background is not something He needs either. God is not a God who punishes us. He enables us to block great disasters.

「Make the ark」
So He told us to make the ark. It is something we know well, but in fact we do not really know it. Why must it be done even to the point of bringing a flood? We must know the reason. Before knowing that reason, it is not “for God.”

Introduction

  1. For you (14)
    He said to make the ark for you. Verse 14.
  2. For your children
    He said to make it for your children.

Crisis
What kind of crisis is coming that He said to make the ark for you?

  1. (18)
    In verse 18, for your children.
  2. For the next generation (20)
    For the next generation and life, He said to quickly make the ark. Today you must briefly hold to the covenant.

Main Body

  1. The Nephilim age
    Because the Nephilim age has arrived. God is trying to block this.
  1. Genesis 3:4-5 (me) (start)
    It started in Genesis 3:4-5. Because we are tempted with good things, all of us here fall. You too, and I too, it is the same. Everyone thinks everything by “my thoughts.” You only need to change one thing. “God…?” If we ask like this, that is it, but everything is my thoughts. Whatever it is, it is my thoughts. Even if you change just this one thing while praying, great answers come. Long ago, when I prayed forty days on Mt Olive, it was all “me.” After forty days, it seemed ridiculous. Was that prayer? I started another forty days. “God, no. Take me to a place where I can preach the gospel.” Exactly that answer came. I asked Him to take me to a church where I could preach the gospel freely. Precisely, a door opened. That is why I went to Yeongdo. Many things happened, but the people who prayed and evangelized in Yeongdo are now opening world doors. This Nephilim is “me” at any time. It is the start of the Nephilim. Everyone is “me” without even realizing it. Knowing that, Satan attacked. He attacked in an “interesting” way. He did not ask, “Did God tell you not to eat the fruit of the tree in the center?” He asked with a lie. Originally, Satan is like that. What did he ask? “Did God tell you not to eat any of the fruit of the garden of Eden?” That is Satan’s method. So what did Eve answer? “No. He said not to eat only the one in the center.” She gave the correct answer. Here, the evidence of being shaken appears. She should have said, “If we eat it, we will surely die.” But she answered, “Will we die if we eat it?” She was caught. She was caught by “You will become like God if you eat this.” Then Satan lied: “No. You will not surely die.” He planted certainty. “You are the best.” New Age. “You must be possessed.” Freemasonry. “You must become Buddha.” “I am the best.” It is the same word. If you change just this one thing, history arises. What is truly God’s plan? “Use me.” He is saying to make the ark that blocks that age.
  2. Genesis 6:4-5 (Nephilim)
    It did not end there. It penetrated. It produced gospel-less powerful people, shamans, and religious people. It came like this. People are deceived because power appears.
  3. Genesis 11:1-8 (Tower of Babel)
    These people gathered and built the Tower of Babel. God knows all of this. So, for those who will be saved, make the ark.
  1. The Nephilim disease
    Because the Nephilim disease spreads throughout the world, make the ark and seize it.
  1. Those seized by Satan
    Those seized by Satan create tremendous problems.
  2. The demon-possessed
    These people move demon-possessed people. It looks right, but it is wrong. They are underlings, yet they are made to lie. They make them “get everything right,” and then make them lie. There are people who go around getting fortunes told, and they are all being deceived. Up to now, I have never seen someone who practices shamanism, makes money well, and lives well. In the end, they collapse. There was a shaman with the greatest reputation in our country. We sent members to evangelize to that person. They waited, but there were so many people coming that it was backed up. This member was so persistent that he went in and met the shaman. What did the shaman say? “I help the church, so why does Darakbang trouble me?” That is what he said. He said an important word: “I will return to God.” He said that. He said that right now he was not in a situation where he could. Not long after, his son became strange. He completely collapsed. I have never seen even one person who went around getting fortunes told and doing gut rituals and turned out well. The next generation too.
  3. Disease
    This appears as disease. If you do not know this, you cannot evangelize. It appears as disease. How does it appear? It appears as a disease where one cannot live without doing it. If you do not understand this, you can never evangelize. You do not even know why you go. Suicide is not done because someone likes it. It is done because they are tormented. How does this disease come? All the diseases of the heart and mental illness come. Diseases come to the brain and to the soul. So physical disease also comes. If we do not do this for them, it absolutely will not do. “Make the ark for you. Make the ark for your children. Make it for the next generation.” You must catch this. It cannot be avoided. “Just go evangelize and come to church”? That has no meaning. Some people are so severe they cannot live. Depression comes, panic disorder comes. No one can help, and because no one helps, they do not know the method either. They do not know what focus means. Even if they focus properly, they do not know how they get better. It is a simple story. This is the world problem now. Now even young children commit suicide. I said it before. Do you not see it? “Students are bullied at school”? No. Because spiritual problems come and the child becomes a little strange, wicked children keep provoking them. Because they do not know that, how can schools help children? “What did the army do that my child committed suicide?” No. In the army there are “interest soldiers.” They were tormented. Soldiers and superiors cannot help. That is why they send a military chaplain. Because the army is hard and busy, they end up tormenting the person. “Why not just not go to the army?” Because sometimes one person can make the whole unit strange. So they torment them. Enduring and enduring, they commit suicide. In their mind, because their mind is becoming strange, they feel like they will die. Whose responsibility is this disease? It is not Buddhism’s responsibility, not Cheondogyo’s responsibility. It is the church’s responsibility. The mission to heal this was given to the church. It was given to you. That is why we must do the full-scale Word movement. Establish 1000 bartizans. Today I spoke very seriously with the ministers. Our ministers are precious people. I told them to establish the bartizan, because of this.
  1. The Nephilim culture
    He blocked the Nephilim culture.
  1. Inside
    If you only enter into the ark, you live.

(1) Acts 2:14-21
In Acts 2:14-21, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

(2) Romans 10:10-15
In Romans 10:10-15, there is this word. “If they are not sent, how can they go?” They must go, must they not? “If they do not go, how can they preach?” These people have never gone. In your lifetime you have never gone. These people cannot hear. “If they have not heard, how can they believe?” They must hear to believe. That is the greatest sin of saints. Not even once have they gone. So it said, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” They are holding onto a cliff and dying. Spiritually they are holding onto a cliff right now. And in verse 15, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” This is no ordinary word.

  1. Nobody X
    But no one came in. Only Noah and his family came in.
  2. Flood
    The flood came, and everyone died because of the flood, but only Noah’s family lived. You must understand this. The issue is not “Only Noah’s family lived and everyone else died.” It completely bound the Nephilim culture itself. After that, a new age opened.

Conclusion

[The age]
You must remember.

  1. One family line
    One family line can break darkness.
  2. One nation – one person
    One person in one nation can break darkness.

3, One region
One person in one region can do it.

7
Who is this one person? Find them in the seven places God has prepared. A student was swimming far away and fell into the water. There was no one to save him. But a friend passing by saw it. He saved the drowning child. The two became friends. After being saved, he realized this friend was very poor. Naturally, he told his father. “Father, this friend saved my life.” The father supported all of the friend’s education. He received help. That friend grew up to become a famous doctor, and he saved the friend who had helped him. Who were those two? If you study history, you will know. It was Winston Churchill, who moved an era of England. The doctor was Fleming, who invented penicillin.

The remaining one
While we are on the eternal way, if we meet one remaining one, it is an enormous miracle. You must know that. You go as the pilgrim God prepared. You go as the conqueror who knows this darkness. And it turns out the scattered ones throughout the world are those God sent. If one person arises who understands this word, that person becomes a watchman. Then that person becomes a spy who goes to save those fallen into disaster. Raise the banner for all peoples. It has come now. Now. And this disease has become too many. What will we do? We must block the Nephilim culture. In fact, if you know it and only pray, it is enough. The Noah incident is the most famous incident among all events that have existed in history until now. And in Noah’s age there was the greatest change of the earth. Before Noah’s time, people lived hundreds of years, but after the flood incident, lifespan drastically decreased. Some scientists say it is because oxygen decreased. The person who lived the longest among those who have lived until now is Noah, because everyone else died.

Long ago in Busan, when an evangelism movement was happening, it was Monday. We had planned to go to prison evangelism, but I was very tired. I thought I would not go, but a call came, so I went. While evangelizing there, there was a person wearing a red name tag. A red name tag means a murderer. He would have been sentenced to death and such. That is not the issue. This person did not eat. He confessed to me. He said he did not intend to beat his wife, and that he did not even beat her much, but she died. He was so shocked that he wanted to die too. He only thought about that. That day, I preached the gospel to him. He received Jesus Christ as Lord. He confessed peace. I went by force that day—what if I had not gone? I have testified about this before.

While training in evangelism, one program was: if you do not lead one person to receive Christ in a day, do not go home. I had to do it too. It was a program training young adults at Dongsung Church. I went to a park. One person was sitting there. I said I was glad to meet him, because I had to share quickly. Even in places like this, history happens. When I preached the gospel, this person did not say much, but while shedding tears, he received Christ. Then I saw that he had no hand on one side. I held the other hand and prayed. He repeated the prayer of believing in Jesus and received Christ. There was something in his hand—he had been trying to commit suicide. What if I had not gone there? There are many people suffering spiritually like this. They are listening to this sermon now.

When we trained, we said, “Tomorrow, call your relative.” They had no interest and did not know. They really called. When they called, the relative said, “How did you know to call me?” They never call in life, so how did they call? Is that not like what is said to us? Do we call? After sharing the gospel, the relative said they did not even have strength to hold the phone. So they went. When they found them, the person was lying down. They did not talk about anything else; they shared the gospel and prayed the prayer to receive Jesus. Now that couple is listening to the sermon in Busan. It became a huge stir. “How can this happen?” It happened because the Word was proclaimed and prayer was made. This is how frightening spiritual disease is. When they shared with the husband, the husband was shocked too. They are all people of mission. The husband is also worshiping now. Now they are older, and this happened when they were young. The name of Jesus Christ—people think lightly of it, but when it is shared once, history happens. Make the ark. Therefore, we must save this region. I bless in the name of Jesus Christ that the work of darkness collapsing because of you will arise.

Prayer. Thank You, God. Thank You for saving us. Thank You for letting us see those who suffer spiritually. Let us save the Nephilim age of Noah. Let us heal that disease. Let us bind that culture. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Offspring of Woman

2026.01.04 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 3:1-15


Introduction
Today, as you begin the first year, you must truly throw away all preconceptions, look once at the Bible and the history of Israel, and pass it on to the next generation. Since there is not much time, I will first give the answer and then take time to confirm it. Israel received the gospel. Then they should pass it on. But they heard the gospel, knew it, and should have passed it on, yet they did not live the life of the gospel. They did not enjoy the gospel.

So, a part we must think about in the introduction is that the Israelite people all went into slavery. Then God confirmed the gospel again at that time. Because the incident of the Garden of Eden is something humans cannot overcome, He spoke of the blood sacrifice. So they returned.

But even after returning, their descendants kept suffering, dying, and burning at the hands of the Philistines. At that time, God sent a man named Samuel. Then the content of all the people praying appears. At that time, one important thing appears. That is the Mizpah Movement. It is 1 Samuel 7:9–10. They offer the blood sacrifice. So ordinary people cannot understand it. Of course, “Return.” “Abandon idols.” “Look to the LORD.” “Repent.” They are only doing what is obvious. From the Garden of Eden until now, the goal has been to completely kill your descendants, but you do not know that scheme—now. To the extent that people are deceived, when translating the Bible, in some countries they say, “Go offer sacrifice,” and they remove the word “blood,” just like that. Why would they do that? Who made them do it? They removed “blood.” And theologians change “a virgin will conceive” into “a woman will conceive.” Many Bibles like that exist. Who made them do it? Yet astonishingly, Samuel gathered them at Mizpah and offered the blood sacrifice. What is it? They do not know the value. What is it? Then now your children and your descendants will all be like that. What is it?

Yes, it is like the United States and Europe—disasters have come in full. Half are now mentally ill. There is no solution. Your descendants will be wandering around out of their minds. There is no solution. In Japan, one of the cultural practices is simply staying at home and going nowhere. They express it very nicely and say it is part of Japanese culture. In my view, that is being out of one’s mind. They go nowhere—just. They introduced it as Japanese culture, continuously.
The Israelite people had just begun to gain strength. A figure like David appeared. And they went into captivity. They did not know the reason. “We will fight now.” “You can’t.” What does that mean? You can’t. You must raise remnants. In the next chapter, another strange word appeared. A word appeared that no one thinks is important at all. A word appeared that makes Satan tremble. The world church has no interest, but a word appeared that makes Satan tremble. “A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and you shall call His name Immanuel.” Do you know what that means? Not the son of man, but the Son of God will be conceived. Then, again, they bring forward that virgin, that woman, bring forward Mary, and misunderstand it in reverse.
They returned. They rebuilt the temple, and works took place. Then they were seized by Rome. That matched the timetable of God sending Jesus to this earth. It was not that He became the Christ then—He is the Christ from eternity—but He had to come incarnate then for fulfillment. Then what Jesus asked was not the answer of Matthew 16:16? “Who do you say that I am?” This means, “Whom is God sending, and what have you been waiting for until now?” Even the disciples answered incorrectly. People usually express their wrong words like this: “Many people say you are like this.” They say it like that, though it is their own words. Jeremiah, Elijah, John the Baptist—those answers came out. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Then Jesus gave a shocking praise. “Can flesh and blood reveal this to you? The One who revealed this to you is My Father in heaven.” He poured out tremendous blessing.

Now look at what Jesus did. He did things that are hard to understand—see which ones are the gospel. They do not actually enjoy the gospel. If you do not actually enjoy it, you are worse than religion. Isn’t that right? Have you ever been to a Buddhist temple? They teach things completely opposite the gospel, but their behavior is more completely gospel-like than the gospel. When they meet, they greet like this, and they do good deeds, right?

Then if you are not careful, you become worse than Japanese culture. When I went to Japan, I went to a remote gathering. There was a park and there was my lodging. I walked around the park and came back, and after three hours I remembered something. In the past, people carried long wallets with cash and identification cards and such. Then—ah!—it hit me. I remembered after three hours. I had left it in a Japanese restroom. Ah… this is a big problem. Money is one thing, but my ID cards were all in there. I ran. It was still there. Wow… I was surprised. Then we are worse than Japanese culture.

So Jesus came to restore the gospel, to make us know the gospel. He met with gangsters. Do you know who the gangsters were? They were fully organized violent criminals. The Romans summoned those people and gave them a mission: “Collect as much as you want. Just put in this much to Rome. The rest is up to you.” They made them collect taxes. They were thugs. So people hated them. But one who would become a leader among them came. Jesus called him and went to his house and ate. Why? He was a thug, but he longed for the Word and wanted to hear the Word. The Pharisees criticized that.
And it was legally forbidden to go to a leper’s house. Jesus went, healed him, and ate with him. Which one is the gospel?

The adulterous woman—Jesus forgave her. When they tried to stone her, the law says you must show an example to block this evil. The gospel makes her realize, saves her, and establishes her as a witness. Which one is more alike? The Pharisees, or Jesus—your thoughts and your life.

So Israel again lost the nation for 2,000 years. Isn’t that so? He is telling the Jews. We may think it is ordinary, but if you lose this gospel line, disaster comes upon descendants. If you go to Europe and the developed nations, descendants are in fact finished. It is a big problem. That is why I thought I must stake my life on the remnant movement. “Let’s pass on excellent knowledge”? That is someone else’s work—we must save them.

Main
Then, at the beginning of the year, as you listen with your children, you must truly forum five things. You must absolutely do it. With many excuses, Satan blocks the gospel—many good things. But you must forum these five things. I will speak briefly.

It is Genesis 3:15. The seed of the woman—the head of the serpent—this means He will break authority. It speaks of being freed from original sin. You cannot solve original sin. You cannot solve leaving God. You cannot solve it even if you keep the entire law. Original sin cannot be solved. So I will send the Christ. I will solve original sin. You must make them understand that.

Why is that? People do not distinguish well. Because they cannot distinguish the gospel, they cling to small success, you know. I tell remnants: Hey, you must succeed. But that is not success. Right?
And because they keep setting standards on small success, gospel-less elites become quite a frightening existence. It is fortunate that you have the gospel—if you raise gospel-less elites, it becomes something tremendous.

And they keep missing it because of legalism. The law is to make me realize; it is not to be used to condemn others. They use it to cover themselves and condemn others. Since that does not work, they fall into mysticism. Mysticism—if you do mysticism without the gospel, you become demon-possessed. So we must open the eyes of the gospel to our descendants. Then later they think, shouldn’t I succeed greatly? Of course you should succeed. But you are not a slave of the world. You must teach them.

So what is important is that if you do not know Genesis 3, the seed of the woman, my original sin is not solved, and I can only serve Satan as a slave. The evidence is that they became slaves, captives, and colonies. The problem is that they have no interest in it. They think it is not important. That is the problem. The whole world is growing darker, and they say, “What is so important about that?” You must forum with remnants.

What is the second? It is Exodus 3:18. Destiny must change. They came out on the day they applied the blood of the lamb. What is the first? The solution to original sin. What is the second? Destiny must change. They must be liberated and come out. It is not important just to come out of Egypt. They must come out of that incident of being caught by Satan. You must tell them.

Also, Isaiah 7:14 is the Babylon incident. You must explain it. With this gospel, you must be equipped with the power of recreation. Like the three young adults, like Daniel, like Esther, you must become witnesses. Our remnants must hear it and, like Daniel, set their resolve.

And you must explain Matthew 1:19–23. It is when Jesus was born. Then the same word, Immanuel, appeared again. What is that? The incarnate Christ. Light came clothed in a human body. So “to those who received Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

And the final word is Matthew 16:16: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” It is the gospel of Christ. God said He would give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. “I will build My church upon you.” “The authority of Hades will not overcome it.”

If there is anything we must do, the age after us will be the AI age, and most jobs will almost disappear. The blockchain age will come, and we will not even know where money flows. The world church’s offerings will decrease. Your descendants may not even know how to find jobs. This is not speculation—it is certain. And the age of Nephilim becomes active. You must teach them. Nothing else is important. At the beginning of the year, while truly praying, we must give our descendants an answer that can win wherever they go in the world. God has given you that now.

Conclusion
So if someone asks me now, “Then what is the answer you and Immanuel Church have received?” I think no other answer is needed. What is needed? We have received everything. If our church can evangelize the world and save descendants, that is the greatest blessing and the answer. Jesus said that.

This year, the door to the 5,000 tribes will open tremendously. That is the answer. So do not struggle too much in the church; even if we must gather strength, I think the entire church, all the believers, should pray once.

That the island nations of Oceania, which open the door to the 5,000 tribes, are connected to our church—this is a miracle. At first, one important elder said, “Oh, Vanuatu? That’s not very important, is it?” Well, it is the door to the 5,000 tribes. But now our church is taking responsibility for this, and these people are sick and struggling. Our elders are doing very well. So even if we must gather strength, we must do it. Because it is the answer. Where else is there such a glorious blessing? What is the answer? Is eating a meal the answer? Anyone eats. Is living well the answer? Everyone lives well, all of them. If the Word is not fulfilled, if we cannot block descendants from darkness, and if we cannot do world evangelization, that is not the answer—that is what it means.

According to this core message, you must truly have the best time in the morning. In the daytime, you must truly have a blessed time. Meetings—that is blessing. At night, you create the final masterpiece for your end. Those who know prayer do not worry.

One poor young man began to pray at a harbor. He became a shipping king. It is Onassis. There is no need to worry. One poor clerk began to pray. He built department stores that moved the world across the entire United States. You will know who it is. Do not worry at all. One person began to pray over church finances. Look carefully at the Bible. He began to pray over church finances, and he was blessed the most in the United States. You will know who it is. One family began all their prayers over mission finances. They did world missions and became a conglomerate. It is the Priscilla and Aquila couple. Do not miss it—hold onto the covenant.

I bless, in the name of Jesus Christ, that this year will be a year of receiving blessings and grace that you have never had until now. I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. We thank You for letting us know the gospel that people do not know. We thank You for giving us salvation. Now let us restore the life of the gospel. Let the sick come and be healed, let criminals come and be healed, let failures be healed, let the abandoned come and be healed. Let those with spiritual problems be healed. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God’s Power of Creation – Word

2026.01.04 District Message 1st Week
Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:1


As I have lived my life of faith, I remember meeting a few people like this. It was not a purpose-driven meeting, but I saw something tremendous. I met this person and talked, and suddenly—oh?—it was like this. That person did not know. I ended up meeting a few people like that. They came thinking they would learn something from me, but as I looked at them, I went, oh?—and faith suddenly rose up. I thought, ah, I should pray. It was something small, but my life changed. So then, you absolutely must do two things. Gratitude and testimony that God has guided me to this place today. Then you will surely become a witness to the people you meet, and you will testify. That is all. I heard that and change took place in me. It was not a huge transformation—just like when we were young, you know, that feeling of “ah.” Many words from father and mother are helpful, but you feel it from their backs as they live. That changes life. When children grow up playing together and such, that is good, and at that time it is imprinted on them. This ends up determining life.

So then, what is it that you must always enjoy every day? What is the Word that God has given me so far, and even during the past week? You must check it. You must never make it long. Just like a greeting. You must not do it in a teaching manner. Do it with gratitude. You must not treat the other person as if they know nothing and explain things to them. In some cases, even if you are a witness, you do not need to do it in a “witness-style” manner. You must do it with a heart that deeply respects the person. It seems like nothing, but change takes place in that person. Some people may be listening to this message right now. When I shared the gospel, I said this: “You are such a good person, someone who should believe—why don’t you believe?” Sincerely, like this. And that was it. But that person suddenly went, oh?—why is it that I do not believe in God? That happened. Later, that person realized it. Now, he is an elder through whom tremendous works are taking place. His profession is professor; he is saving his school and also saving the church. There was also a high school student—he was a very strange student—but I said something very simple: “I will pray for you.” He collapsed right there. Ah, there is someone who prays for me. That revived him. Because of this, your life must always be gratitude and testimony. Even when things are difficult—yes, difficulties come—but even then, during the past week, gratitude came out. Since I preach, thankfully I have many testimonies to share with you. You must do this with the people you meet. With that alone, you can do everything. Ah, this is the gospel—you have to actually see it. For you, the most important thing this year is—

「God’s Creative Power – The Word」
What appears within this? Within it, God’s creative power appears, and that is the Word. That person testified about the Word, but it was not that I was moved emotionally. It was just—oh?—since my natural disposition is like this, I get close and then pull back, so I am not very good at these things. So you do not see reactions. But—oh?—all of this comes as answers. So this Word—truly, for me, this has been confirmed.

Introduction

1. The Triune God
This Word speaks of the creation, salvation, and power of the Triune God.

2. Transcending Time and Space
And this Word has power that transcends time and space. These blessings come from the Word.

3. – Past, Today, Future, Field, World
Your important thing is that prayer that transcends time and space begins to take place, and just by praying, it saves the past, today, the future, the field, and the world. It is astonishing. Just by receiving this living and active Word, these things take place.

So what I did was testify to this. Then our evangelism disciples wrote it down. They wrote it down and thought, yes, this is right. What they edited from that is the district lesson. The district lesson is the messages from an entire year. And now, the editors edited it very well. When I see it, I receive grace again. They edited it well. When they were editing, God must have worked by the Holy Spirit. Because it goes out to all regions and the entire world.

Main Body

1. Creative Power
What kind of things happen? I tell you to absolutely do Word forums. Do not do it in a teaching manner. For example, do not act superior. Because of acting superior, people do not listen to the Word. This Word is creative power.

2. Fulfillment – God Who Accomplishes
More importantly, this Word is absolutely fulfilled. Why? Because God is the One who accomplishes the Word. That is why God is not visible to the eyes. If He were visible, it would be fake—an idol. Those shrines made in Japan are not God; they are idols. Why do works occur there? Because demons work. That is why spiritual problems arise. Among developed countries, the second highest number of people with mental illness is Japan. The highest is the United States. You should take note of this. God’s Word—what does it absolutely do?

3. Works Within Us – If You Are Within This
It works within us. Then all I have to do is be within this. What will I do? That comes later. If we are within the Word of the covenant, then we can calmly decide what to do next. If I am within disaster, whatever I do is useless. If I am within the sure blessing, within the covenant, even if I am lacking, it is fine. If I am not within this, being smart becomes the problem.

1-1) Genesis 1:1
So in Genesis 1:1, God created the heavens and the earth by the Word.

2) John 1:1–2
In John 1:1–2, the Word is God. Tremendous.

3) John 1:14
In John 1:14, the Word became flesh and came.

4) Hebrews 4:12
So in Hebrews 4:12, this Word is living and active. God did not appear as a form but appeared as the Word; therefore, the Word is God.

5) Isaiah 40:31
So those who read this Word and those who hear it are blessed.

While speaking about the Word, this came out. Say, “The Word of the LORD stands forever.” That is in Isaiah 40. Is something made of wood God? If it is made of money or gold, is it a good god? If it is made of wood, is it a bad god? Only those who wait on the LORD will gain new strength.

2-1) Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:7
And this Word is absolutely fulfilled—where first? This is important. In my soul, in me. Do not worry. The living Word of God is fulfilled within you—like this. Just as in Genesis 2:7, when He breathed the breath of life into us. It is truly something to be thankful for. This is the mystery of the Word being fulfilled.

2) Isaiah 40:27–31
When we wait on the LORD. Isaiah 40:27–31—“Do you not know? Have you not heard? Even youths stumble and fall, and young adults fall exhausted, but those who wait on the LORD will soar on wings like eagles.” Even if there are some difficulties, it is fine. It is said that eagles do not wait until their young are fully grown to fly. The mother eagle picks up the young and throws it. When it seems dangerous, she comes down and catches it—until it can fly on its own. Like an eagle soaring on wings. It may look like there is some suffering, but that is training. Jesus Himself spoke about this.

3) Acts 1:1–8
Acts 1:1–8, simply put, explains the bartizan of the throne, the journey, and the guidepost. You just need to keep following this.

3-1) Acts 1:[12]–[14]
How does this Word work within us? Very importantly, Acts 1:12–14. We must be within this. What is important here is verse 12—the house of Mark. Those who devoted themselves only to prayer. The successful people and famous figures could not come here. Only those who held the covenant came. This was the path that changed the world. Where must we be? Just the fact that you are here is tremendous.

2) Acts 2:1–18
Then astonishing things took place. With the three feasts, the filling of the Holy Spirit took place. The door to the Gentiles opened. More importantly, verse 18—the future began to be seen. “Your young adults will see visions,” right? “Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams.” It means the future was seen.

3) Acts 6:1–7
Then these people went out and saved the field—but to be precise, that is not it. God sent you to the field that He Himself is saving. If you are within this. It means you were in the place where God gives the greatest answers. You were standing at the crossroads of whether the world would be destroyed or saved. How thankful is that. So now you actually establish the bartizan.

Conclusion

1. Prayer – Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost
Do not establish it in a difficult way—do it through prayer. Through prayer, just establish the bartizan of the throne, the journey, and the guidepost. You do not need to do anything else. When it opens, just go.

2. Communication
Simply, with this, you must pray while communicating with one another. If necessary, do relay prayer. Doing this is good.

3. The Twelve Apostles
And now, pastors must know what the world districts and the 70 major districts really are—why the twelve apostles were established. Church leaders must know why the seventy elders were established. Then, why were the 1,000 bartizans established, and why were synagogues established? Knowing these things is enough.

So, a lot of time has passed today, but many of you came because you tried to do the gospel movement in another church, but the church did not do the gospel movement and kept going back and forth, so you had no choice. Please gather people separately by church and by region at least once. As I pray with you, I must truly confirm a special mission. You must now become proper witnesses. Especially young adults—you have many things to learn from adults, but there are also many things you should not learn. Regardless of that, you must find what God has given you.

Prayer. God, let today also be a time when we hear God’s voice with our hearts. Let us gain spiritual strength throughout the entire day. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
