Paul, Do Not Be Afraid

2025.12.28 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 27:24

Christ said, “It is finished.” That was His final word. Then, on Mt Olive, He explained the power of the throne for forty days and said, “You will go to the ends of the earth.” As I listened to this gospel, many paths began to open up to me. Here I could see my heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. I could see what is inevitable, what is necessary, and what is absolute. I could see single-heartedness, wholeheartedness, and perseverance—and all of these become one. It is only, uniqueness, and re-creation. It is 24, 25, and eternity. Through this, imprinting, rooting, and nature are formed. In this way, the twenty-one paths became visible.

The beginning of the twenty-one is “inevitable, necessary, absolute.” But new believers and many workers in the church keep getting the start wrong. How should we begin? When I entered Yeongdo, there was no church building—nothing. How should we start? That start matters. From a tiny 12-pyeong place and then 35 pyeong, what did we do? We spread the Word movement to 300 places. Soon, more than 1,000 disciples began to rise. It is not difficult.

When I was serving as an assistant pastor, I was in charge of the children’s department. What should I do? Children cannot worship well. At that time, what I realized was the upper room. The Word has to enter them.

Then I was in charge of the middle and high school department. What should we do? Teenagers have many conflicts. They do not want to talk with adults. Back then there were no cell phones. I went to find them. I wrote letters to the students—letters like our gospel letters. “Last week a certain celebrity committed suicide. Why did they do that?” I wrote the answer to that. The students became very interested. In other words, I wrote a gospel letter. But I did not know it would be delivered to the students like that.

When we began this church here, people said evangelism was difficult. It is not difficult. So I gathered them and said, “Read it. Read it.” We did that eight times. That is the gospel letter. Two lessons were later supplemented by me when the people began to move.

In the church where I served as an associate pastor before coming here, they fought day and night. What did I do then? I reported to the senior pastor and started an evangelism school. Later, even among just the young adults, 300 workers who dedicated themselves arose. There is nothing difficult about it.

What did I do? I did what was inevitable. I did what was necessary. And I did what must be done—what is absolute. That must be our starting point. I said there are twenty-one paths, but the start is inevitable, necessary, absolute. If you combine these three words, it becomes the word “must.”

When a problem comes, do not panic or think it is too hard. First, look at three things. Today’s Scripture passage is a familiar one. The ship Paul was on encountered a storm. A violent wind came, and the ship began to sink. What should we do?

I have a friend who went to Vietnam and had a serious accident there. He could not forget it and developed seizures. Look at the 9/11 incident in the United States—those who survived struggle. On mission fields, there were cases where people were kidnapped by armed men. One died, and the rest lived in constant anxiety. Often, when people develop spiritual problems, they have wounds and trauma like that.

I know someone whose mother committed suicide early. It became such a wound that he could not function. I understand. He is always in hardship. There are many people like this. How should we, who have the gospel, give them an answer?

As I said, when a problem comes, there is no need to be discouraged. In the introduction, I will first speak of three things.

Introduction: Three things to see first

  1. Inevitable (what inevitably comes has come).
    What inevitably comes has come. This is the eye you must have whenever you solve problems. The Jews had no gospel at all. They hated the preaching of Christ. They lied, arrested people, and made Paul into a criminal. Paul had no crime, but he was made into a criminal and was on his way to be tried. He transferred to an Alexandrian ship and was traveling.

Paul, who prayed, said, “I think this ship will meet a storm. It would be better to stay here for a while, avoid the crisis, and then go.” But no one listened. “No, let’s go rest in Phoenix.” In the Bible it is written “Phoenice.” “Let’s rest in Phoenix. It is better.” No one listened to Paul. Many people said, “Phoenix is better than here.” Even though they were on the way to trial, they wanted to go somewhere nice.

The leader of the ship was a centurion named Julius. Because he felt uneasy, he asked. He asked the captain: “Is it true that this man says we will meet a storm and die?” The captain said, “Now is not the season for storms.” Then he asked the ship owner: “Is this okay?” The owner said, “In such good weather, what storm? It is not storm season.”

People will listen to the words of demons, but they will not believe the Word of God. They believe wrong words, but they do not believe the words of an evangelist. So they decided, “Let’s go.” “Look—such good weather. What storm?” And the ship sailed well.

Then suddenly it struck. When a storm and strong wind come, human strength cannot stop it. It hit them. For about fourteen days. How long those days and hours were. That is what happened. In the end, the ship began to sink. There was no strength left.

What inevitably came, came. People do not believe the Word of God. People do not listen to the word you proclaim. And they follow what is wrong. That is why it began to sink. That is the moment.

  1. Necessary (what you must do within it).
    What did Paul do then? He entered into such deep prayer in the bottom of the ship that the angel of the Lord came and spoke. That is what is necessary.
  2. Absolute (God’s plan).
    Then, as he prayed, at night, he said, “Last night, the angel of the Lord stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar.’” He delivered a very important message. After he delivered it, the storm began to calm. This is the absolute. The inevitable, the necessary, and the absolute are all there.

When problems come, there is no need to be discouraged. What inevitably comes is what God has allowed. But within it, there is what you must do—what is necessary. And you must find God’s plan—the absolute. Among the twenty-one paths, the start must always be like that.

There are many remnants who resent their parents. Today, throw all of that away. God gave them to you because it was necessary. “Why are my parents like this?” God inevitably gave what He needed for His work. If you do not see that, wounds and spiritual problems keep coming. You must counsel properly. Only then can healing happen. Even if you cry together and talk, you may feel relief, but healing will not come.

When I was young, my father died, and I suffered much. When did answers begin? When I realized: “God gave me what was necessary—what was inevitable—because I must do world evangelization.” Then many doors of answers began to open.

Main message: “Do not be afraid, Paul.”

First, one who has an absolute mission does not die.

  1. Joseph—No matter how much they tried to kill Joseph, they could not. He had to become governor in the place where 237 nations and 5,000 tribes would gather. His brothers tried to kill him but could not. Potiphar tried to destroy him by putting him in prison but could not.
  2. Moses—A new king arose and commanded, “Kill all Israelite baby boys.” But they could not kill Moses. Moses had an absolute mission.
  3. David—King Saul tried to kill David. He attempted murder six or seven times. But David could not die. He carried an enormous absolute mission.
  4. The early church—It was the same. They could not kill them. The early church was completely surrounded by laws. They even imposed economic blockades. Yet they could not kill them. The early church carried out world evangelization.

So even your problems must be viewed through inevitable, necessary, absolute. God may be training you and blessing you for real. A big tree grown in a greenhouse will die if it is taken outside. It must face wind and sunlight. A tree that stays only in a greenhouse does not truly become a tree.

A grandfather made hammer handles with his grandson. He threw away the good pieces. He used the twisted, ugly pieces for the hammer handle. The grandson asked, “Why do you throw away the good ones and use these?” He answered, “To become a hammer handle, it must have faced wind, snow, sunlight, and rain.” The storm that happened here was not a random event. It was a very important event. “Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar.”

Second, one who has a heavenly mandate, calling, and mission cannot die.

  1. When Christ struck Paul down on the road to Damascus, He already said Paul was a chosen instrument to stand before kings, the nations, and the Gentiles. A year is ending.

This week you must ask in prayer: “What is my absolute bartizan? How can I establish my absolute bartizan? How will I fulfill ‘You must stand before Caesar’?”

  1. Paul met Barnabas and saw many covenants.
  2. He was sent as the first missionary and went to Asia, Macedonia, and Rome. He could not die.

So, as you enter the new year, you must ask: “What is my heavenly mandate, calling, and mission?” If you get the answer, every problem is resolved. Truly.

Third, if you still have a remaining mission, there is no need to fear crisis.

You must ask: What is my absolute mission—my absolute bartizan? What are the heavenly mandate, calling, and mission God has given me? What is my remaining mission? Your direction must match God’s direction. So this week, three prayers: my absolute bartizan, my mandate/calling/mission, and my remaining mission.

Moses said, “I cannot.” He meant, “I am old. If I go, I will be captured and die.” He was eighty. God said, “I will be with you. Go and say that the LORD has sent you. With a mighty hand I will be with you.” Those who are older must take more courage—we must do world evangelization.

Elijah said, “I am old. I cannot. Everyone is dead and only I remain.” The moment someone thinks, “I cannot,” they become like that. He even said, “Take my life.” But God brought him and spoke in a gentle whisper: “Do not fear Ahab. I will change him. Find Elisha.” He even told him the name. “There are still 7,000 disciples left.” He had not even started.

So ask: What is my absolute bartizan? When you ask, doors open. When I realized my mandate, calling, and mission, answers began to come exactly as they were. And the remaining mission is 237 nations and 5,000 tribes—to testify to those who have never heard. Jesus said, “When the gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come.” Many people try to end the world unnecessarily, but it does not end so easily. The gospel has not yet been testified to all. Jesus said: “Go to all nations. Go to all people. Go to the ends of the earth. I will be with you.”

Conclusion

Your difficulties will turn into evidence.

  1. The news about Paul was delivered to Caesar and to 237 nations and 5,000 tribes.
  2. When the kings living in Canaan heard the report from the wilderness, their hearts melted.

Now is not the time to “do something.” As the year ends and a new year begins, you must correct the covenant and correct the direction. Do not just work hard. If you work hard in the wrong direction, you become more wrong.

Ask:

  1. “God, what is the absolute bartizan You have given me?”
  2. “What is the heavenly mandate, calling, and mission You have given me?”
  3. “What is my remaining mission?”

When you hold to the exact covenant, God will be with you with all authority in heaven and on earth.

Remnants, I ask you: pray this. If you miss this, you may graduate from a good school, get a job, and even marry. But you will just eat and live and die. You will not do world evangelization. Power will not come. God said He will be with you with all authority when you hold the accurate covenant. How can you miss this? If you just study, succeed a little, eat, and die—your tombstone will say: “ate, slept, died.” Is that all?

  1. The remnants’ studies and work, and the church leaders’ work, must match world evangelization.
  2. The church must open the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age.
  3. Young adults must go out after preparing 300%.

In October 1987 I was appointed here. My first sermon was this passage: “Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar.” May you enjoy the answers you must find, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let us find our absolute bartizan. Let us see the heavenly mandate, calling, and mission You have given us. Let us confirm our remaining mission. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Age of Holy Meditation 300%, The System of 24•25•00

2025.12.28 District Message 52nd Week
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-47

God said that when He created us humans, He created us in His own image. Therefore, we humans cannot but believe in God. Because we were created in God’s image, He has given us something tremendous. Yet it is commonly said that most people die without using even 3% of this tremendous capacity God has given. The person said to have used it the most was Einstein, but even Einstein is said to have used only about 11 to 13%. If that is the case, prayer is something truly tremendous.

「The holy meditation age – 300% – the 24·25·eternity system」
Therefore, this holy meditation age is not merely an answer, but an age in which 300% answers emerge. What is the 300%? God guiding us is 100%. God working in the field where we must go is also 100%. And God preparing the future is another 100%. God is not 99%. He is 100%. Only when this happens does world evangelization become possible. In order to enjoy this blessing, a system such as this (24·25·eternity) is formed. World evangelization will certainly take place.

▣ Introduction_ Evidence
Those who held onto this covenant have already produced evidence.

1. Mark → Rome
Holding onto this covenant, prayer began in Mark’s Upper Room. Then how far did it go? The gospel was testified all the way to Rome, throughout the world. Why did this happen? Because humanly speaking, the gap in between was absolutely impossible. Without knowing this power, we cannot go.

People casually say, “Let’s just pray.” But it is not simply “let’s pray.” Because this is not understood, even though people believe in Jesus and attend church, churches keep declining and evangelism does not take place. Reproduction should continuously occur, but it does not. Who does not want to give many offerings to the church? But if there is nothing, what can be done? What is astonishing is that churches in Europe and America are now closing in large numbers. According to statistics released in the United States, within a few years, about ten thousand more churches are expected to close. We must act quickly. We need people who truly pray. So how did this continue?

  1. Acts 1:3
    This is the word given in Acts chapter 1 verse 3. For forty days, He explained the things concerning the kingdom of God, explaining the journey, the bartizan, and the guidepost.
  2. Acts 2:1–47
    Thus, how great this answer is can be seen in Acts chapter 2, which appeared in Mark’s Upper Room. When this power of God is enjoyed, even though there is nothing, everything works. This answer must truly be obtained.
  3. Acts 13:1–4, 16:6–10, 19:1–7, (8), 21
    And it continues in this same pattern. In Acts chapter 13 verses 1 to 4, they go out to the mission field and receive clear guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is definite evidence. Even if doors are blocked, it is fine. God has prepared a greater door, leading to Macedonia. If you look closely at Acts chapter 19 verses 1 to 7, the exact same events that occurred in Mark’s Upper Room appear again. Especially in verse 8, Paul speaks exactly what Jesus explained for forty days. This is remarkable. Ordinary people have no interest in this; they consider it worthless. Did Jesus really spend forty days explaining something of no value? It says He explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days. No one made use of these words, but “Paul boldly explained the kingdom of God.” And what was the result? All the way to Rome. “I must also see Rome.”

2. 24 (25) eternity
When we actually enjoy this prayer as 24, the kingdom of God, 25, inevitably comes, and eternal works are formed.

  1. Three focuses
    Simply focusing on prayer in the morning, at noon, and in the evening brings about works.
  2. Three settings
    If you want to board an airplane, where must you go? You must go to the airport. If you climb a mountain, you cannot board a plane. To board a ship, you must go to the dock or terminal. What does this mean? When this power arises, a platform is formed. People gather at the platform. There is no need to say, “Why doesn’t our church evangelize?” It means there is no platform. At a platform, people come to take care of their business, rest, and wait. Spiritually, the concept of a platform is tremendous. Light shines there, others see the light, and they come. They cannot help but come. That is why the term watchtower or bartizan is used. Spiritual communication takes place there. Finally, communication with God occurs—communication with the throne. This is called an antenna. These three settings inevitably occur.
  3. Three answers
    Everywhere there are problems; you must go with answers. Everywhere there is conflict; renewal is needed. Everywhere there is crisis; you must not merely endure it. Does it make sense to endure a crisis? Or to wait for a crisis? In a crisis, you must find an important opportunity. This is called the three answers. There is clear evidence. Joseph did not go as a slave; he went with answers. He did not go to prison; he went finding a path. He already possessed them—the three answers.

▣ Main body
Then why does God give such blessings? When reading the Book of Acts or the Bible, there are words that even unbelievers can understand, words only believers can understand, and more importantly, words only evangelists can understand. This message was revealed through the 120. Those who were healed by Jesus yet ran away did not receive this message. Remember this. To whom was this message given?

1. The remaining ones’ 24 path
To those who will walk the path of the remaining ones, the 24 path of the remaining ones.

2. The pilgrims’ 25 path
This message was given to those who will walk the pilgrims’ 25 path. Prayer is truly tremendous. “Blessed is the one who meditates on the law of the LORD day and night.” On Sundays, do not be distracted—enter deep prayer.

3. The conquerors’ eternal path
Three things: we must conquer darkness, conquer Satan, and conquer spiritual problems. This is the holy meditation age of 300%.

▣ Conclusion_ Morning, day, night
Morning, day, and night. The message of the coming gathering will focus on what prayer to pray in the morning, what to establish, what prayer to pray during the day, and what prayer to pray at night, based on biblical evidence. Together, searching the Scriptures to see what kind of prayer those who accomplished world evangelization prayed in the morning. Jesus said, “This kind does not go out except by prayer. Prayer is everything.” Those who are only gospel can only pray, becoming only witnesses.

If your work or business has no connection at all to evangelism, something must be corrected. If Sunday worship gives you no answer or connection, something must be changed. Today, as we close the year, may this be a day of healing through all-day prayer, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Allow us to enter a new year receiving new strength, enjoying the blessing of being witnesses, and being used so that our work may serve world evangelization. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

When Peace, Like a River

Hymn
When Peace, Like a River
Horatio Gates Spafford

When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”

It is well with my soul;
It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control:
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed his own blood for my soul. Refrain

My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain

O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
Even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Savior, More Than Life to Me
Fanny Crosby

Savior, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.

Ev’ry day, ev’ry hour
Let me feel thy cleansing pow’r;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.

Through this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as I go;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way.  Refrain

Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o’er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above.  Refrain

Message
Do Not Be Afraid, Paul
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Full Transcript

▣ Introduction: Three things to look at first
1. Inevitable (what inevitably comes has come) – By not believing God’s Word and following what is wrong, they encountered a violent storm.
2. Necessary (what you must do within it) – At this time, Paul entered into deep prayer in the bottom of the ship.
3. Absolute (God’s plan) – When he delivered the message spoken by the angel of the Lord that he must stand before Caesar, the storm became calm.

▣ Main: Paul, do not be afraid
1. One who has an absolute mission does not die.
1) Joseph – Because he had to be made governor in the place where 237 and the 5,000 tribes gather, he could not be killed.
2) Moses – Though there was an order to kill all the male children of Israel, Moses could not be killed.
3) David – King Saul tried to kill David, but he could not kill him.
4) The early church – They could not kill them. The early church carried out world evangelization.
▷ Look at even problems through the lens of inevitable, necessary, and absolute. God may be training you and blessing you for real. You must ask what your absolute bartizan is.

2. One who has a calling, calling received, and mission cannot die.
1) When Christ struck Paul down, He gave the Word that Paul was a chosen vessel to be set before kings, the whole world, and the Gentiles.
2) When Paul met Barnabas, he saw many covenants.
3) Being sent as the first missionary, he went to Asia, Macedonia, and Rome.
▷ When you receive the answer to what your calling, calling received, and mission are, all problems are solved.

3. If there is a remaining mission, there is no need to fear crisis.
1) Moses – “Say that the LORD has sent you. I will be with you with a mighty hand.”
2) Elijah – “I will change King Ahab. Find Elisha. There are 7,000 disciples remaining.”
3) The remaining mission – The gospel being testified to 237 and the 5,000 tribes (The Gospel According to Matthew 24:14, The Gospel According to Matthew 28:18–20, The Gospel According to Mark 16:15–20, Acts of the Apostles 1:8).
▷ You must ask what your remaining mission is.

▣ Conclusion
1. Your difficulties will be changed into evidence.
1) The rumor about Paul was delivered to Emperor Caesar, 237, and the 5,000 tribes.
2) When the kings living in Canaan heard the rumor from the wilderness, their hearts melted.

2. Correct the covenant. You must correct the direction. Ask questions.
1) What is the absolute bartizan given to me?
2) What are the calling, calling received, and mission given to me?
3) What is my remaining mission?

3. When you hold onto the correct covenant, God will be with you with all authority in heaven and on earth.
1) The work of the remnants and church leaders must align with world evangelization.
2) Church – The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age must be opened.
3) Young adults – They must go out after preparing 300%.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

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

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

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

Benediction

Future – Establish Small-Group Multi-Ethnic Schools

2025.12.27 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (52)
– Model 46 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Acts 19:1-21

Multiethnic School
Then what is the one remaining blessing? The scattered ones. It is the blessing given to the scattered ones.

You must open small-group multiethnic schools. Because everything Jesus said is world evangelization, even one person is enough. Start a multiethnic school.

  1. Timothy
    Then God sends the person He has prepared. Timothy. Right?
  2. Lydia
    Then God makes you meet the person He has prepared. Lydia.
  3. Jason
    Now, pastors, be sure to receive this blessing. God has prepared a person like Jason for those who go and for those who send.
  4. Priscilla
    Now, He prepared the couple Priscilla and Aquila.
  5. Hidden disciples
    Everywhere they went, God separately established hidden disciples. This is how it appears. This is the blessing you will receive.

You must not do it incorrectly. There is no reason. God blesses the Remnants to the extent that they can do world evangelization. This is certain. Pastors, the standard is that your church revives and does world evangelization. This year is ending. Next year, it must be done. Our elders must establish 1,000 bartizans like David and receive the blessing of saving people. May this blessing surely be fulfilled nationwide and worldwide in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let us not be deceived, let us discern those who deceive, and let my work be one that enjoys only the gospel movement, only missions, and world evangelization. Let us be a church that saves lives. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

January 2026 School Evangelization

2025.12.27 Core
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (52)
[RT-DAY ]
Lecture 1: 「The Mission of Jesus’ Public Ministry」 (Mt 5:1-13)
Lecture 2: 「The Resurrected Christ」 (1 Co 15:3-5)
Lecture 3: 「The Mission of the Mount of Olives」 (Ac 1:1-8)
Lecture 4: 「The Fulfillment of Marks Upper Room」 (Ac 1:14)

Thank you. I want to keep listening, but because of the message, I must move on. Thank you.

Our evangelism disciples nationwide and worldwide must have accurate prayer topics in order to receive answers. Prayer topics must not be wrong. Then how do you accurately set prayer topics? Remnants must remember this. You must set prayer topics from within what happens around you, at home. Then answers will come for a lifetime.

When I was young, what I saw the most was disease, poverty, and then when I went to church, I saw that they could not evangelize, and incompetence. These three were what I saw the most. At that time I thought, our parents are very excellent and respectable people, but I thought that I should not live like my parents. I held onto that covenant and prayed, and until now that answer has been coming.

Perhaps, this is not a bad thing to say, and when you go to church, they are all people to be thankful for, right? But I thought, “Ah, if you live like that, evangelism will not happen.” Then you do not need to suffer that kind of loss, right? Most people live so that evangelism fruit does not come. So I held onto a few covenants, and answers came.

Then why is it that places like America and Europe, which are more excellent nations than us, why are the churches there not working now? We must realize it. And mental patients are increasing a lot now. In places like Japan, the church does not work at all. But surprisingly, Japan is a good country, and yet mental illness has increased so much. There is a reason for it all. Why is that? Why is it that adults who have more experience and are more excellent than us—why can they not evangelize and why can they not receive answers? Academics and work that do not lead to evangelism—that is failure. Why is that? Today you must know the reason and go.

They did not properly understand what Jesus taught.

1 Mission of the public ministry
Jesus did public ministry for three years, and He gave a mission. Now many church members and many Jews pray asking for blessings. Jesus said that is not a blessing. Now the difference becomes clear, right? We keep asking for blessings, but Jesus said that is not a blessing. Rather, He said those who are persecuted and those who mourn are blessed. Yes, people keep asking for things, do they not? Because He said to ask in prayer, they pray asking and asking, but Jesus said it is not that. You must know that.

“You must first seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness. Then you can receive answers for everything.” They did not catch this.

And then at the final pulpit on Mt Olive, He explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. From the moment I understood this, the door of evangelism began to open. From the moment I understood this, I came to realize, “Ah, prayer is not this kind of prayer.” That is what I came to understand.

Also, in Matthew chapter 7, coming to church and saying, “You are right, I am right,” that is not a life of faith. That is like a house built on sand. So it all collapses. He said that.

1. Sermon on the Mount
Because it was so important, He went up on a mountain and explained it. Remnants, you must remember. In Matthew chapter 5, there are eight blessings, right? He told us what blessing is. It is important. In Matthew chapter 6, He explained what prayer is. In Matthew chapter 7, He explained what it means to live a life of faith in the church.

2. Parables of the kingdom of heaven
And because you did not truly understand what a blessing the life of faith is, Jesus explained the parables of the kingdom of heaven. Our Remnants’ faith may look small, right? No, it is not. Because within your faith there is the seed of life, it says later it becomes a tree and forms a forest.

Many people teach like this: “You must work hard. You must make effort.” That is true. But Jesus did not teach that way. You must look carefully at what Jesus taught. “Your faith is not visible, but like leaven spreading, it spreads everywhere.” “It may look like you are suffering a little now, but underneath there is a great treasure field. There is treasure that can sustain you for your whole life.” “It may look like you are a merchant, but you possess a precious pearl.” He explained what you possess.

And then He said, “I speak in parables in order to make people understand.” “Also, I speak in parables in order to keep some from understanding.” Now you just need to know what Jesus taught.

3. Leper
Now people, when someone with spiritual problems comes to church, you dislike them right away, right? “That person, what…” you do that, right? The Jews did not let lepers come to church. You know lepers, right? Jesus went to lepers and healed them. That is what Jesus did. Now.

4. Authority
Many religions serve demons, right? Jesus said that there is authority to cast out demons and overcome them. Everyone, it is completely different. Religion that does not understand the gospel is the same as idol worship. Prayer that does not understand the gospel is the same as serving demons. You must keep this in mind. What Jesus taught is completely different. Only when you understand that do answers come.

Because Jesus cast out demons, they called Jesus Beelzebul—someone who had faith said that, you see? They did not understand. You have teaching materials, but in fact you do not even need to write all of this down. People understand it completely the other way around. So He asked, “Who do people say that I am?” He asked, right?

Jesus asked when it was near the end. Almost everyone understands it wrongly. “They say you are like Elijah. Like Jeremiah, like John the Baptist. They say you are a prophet.” They all said it wrongly. You speak according to your personality, right? No. Then Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Christ poured great blessing there.

And what did He do? Jesus went into the temple and overturned it, and wielded a whip, and did that. Why would He do that? There was no courtyard of Remnants. There was no courtyard for those foreigners of many nations. There was no courtyard of prayer where the sick could pray. They were doing business there. So Jesus overturned that marketplace.

Everyone nationwide and worldwide, if prayer is not being answered and evangelism is not happening, it is because you are not doing what Jesus taught. When you understand it, works arise. Even if Remnants hear it once and believe, later answers come. This is important.

And then Jesus said something important at the end, right? You must remember that. You must remember what Jesus said at the end.

[ Kingdom – throne ]
He explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days—then how does the kingdom of God come? This is what Jesus said at the end. “Do not worry about anything.” That is John chapter 14, right? Do not worry about studying. Teachers tell you to do it, but Jesus said not to. Do not. Do not be anxious about anything. He explained the reason. “Because you believe in God, do not worry. Because you believe in Me, do not worry.” And then He said something. “When I go, I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. He will make you understand all things. He will guide you into the way of truth.” And then after He resurrected, what He said for 40 days was the message about the kingdom of God. Enjoying this is prayer. You must remember.

And even now, if you pray in that name, works arise. Later, check what you prayed in the name of Jesus Christ. You prayed in that name—then why is that?

2 Resurrection
The resurrected Christ said, “Pray in My name.” Right? “Cast out demons in My name.” “The demons attached within many people, the demons attached even among believers, the forces of darkness, Satan—by the name of Jesus Christ I command you, depart.” Then they depart. Try praying. In your home, for a truly difficult problem, set aside only five minutes in the morning and keep praying in the name of Christ. Answers will come for a lifetime.

In my family line, my father passed away early, and there were many sick people. I prayed with that. Then I prayed—did my father get healed? He did not. But that answer came to me. From when I was young until now, I have never been sick even once. Because I prayed that so much. The most difficult thing—evangelism—I kept praying about that. The door of evangelism kept opening. Even now I can clearly see it. The door. For all of you, as you send off this year, from next year may this blessing come upon you in the name of Jesus Christ. After He resurrected, what did He say?

1. All authority – with
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, so I will always be with you.” He did not say anything else. “Go to all nations.” That is all you need to do. “Make disciples.” So if this door is not opening, that means there is no answer. Right? If this door opens for a Remnant, then true answers come. If you understand it wrongly, answers do not come. Jesus said the exact opposite of what we think we know.

All nations. After He resurrected, it is the part that is hard to understand, but, “Go to all nations.”

2. All peoples
“Go to all peoples.”

3. Lamb
So, “Feed My lambs.”

4. The ends of the earth
“Go to the ends of the earth.”

Only when this happens do true answers arise. I can say it clearly. Many people keep criticizing us, but go and evangelize. Also, evangelize and save the church. Revive the church. Preach the gospel to those who have not heard the gospel. This is what Jesus said at the end. It is not my word.

Next year, your churches must come alive to do world missions. Right? All pastors, elders, church leaders, Remnants must establish 1,000 bartizans. Like David. Right? That is the answer. Do not be afraid. You must truly receive answers.

The AI age has come? The studying you are doing now is something you must do, unavoidably, to take exams. That will become useless. You must prepare. In the future, you will not even need to go to the bank. These things are coming now. So you must prepare definite content 300%. That is why I am telling you to pray.

3 Mt Olive
Jesus called them to Mt Olive. You must not miss this. Because people absolutely do not do what Jesus tells them to do, and they keep doing what He tells them not to do, the church does not work. Jesus showed the direction, but many believers are going in a different direction. You cannot do that. Whether you study or not, the direction must match.

And then He said something tremendous.

1. Acts 1:1 Christ [bartizan of the throne]
Christ. This is the bartizan of the throne. Everyone, this is it now. Right?

2. Acts 1:3 [journey of the throne]
Verse 3 of chapter 1. The kingdom of God. The works of the kingdom of God are being fulfilled. This is the journey of the throne.

3. Acts 1:8 ends of the earth [guidepost of the throne]
In verse 8 of chapter 1, “You will be witnesses to the ends of the earth.” “You will be witnesses in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth.” This is the guidepost of the throne. That is it, right?

Do not worry. Whatever you do, make it 300%. Then it works. It is Jesus’ promise. That our church and your churches will have 237 nations and 5,000 tribes arise—that is what is right. If you just want to live quietly? Then go to a temple. Then yes. The gospel is not that. I live, and this is now a tremendous work.

4 Mark’s upper room
So where did this answer come from? It was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room. Right? There are a few important things here that you must remember.

1. The three feasts
“When the day of Pentecost had fully come”—this means you must always enjoy the blessing of the three feasts. Right? The power of salvation, the power of prayer, the background of the throne—these are the three feasts. This is what the Remnant must enjoy.

2. Many nations
Then the door for many nations opened. Because this is the blessing the Remnant will receive, you must look at it carefully.

3. Acts 2:17-18
Do not worry. In verses 17-18 of chapter 2, it makes you know the future. When you pray, it makes you know the future.

4. Acts 2:42
Remnants do not need to read the Bible a lot. It is good if you read a lot, but it is okay even if you cannot. You just need to worship properly. You worship, and on Sunday you hold onto that covenant and imprint it a little, and works arise.

5. Acts 2:46-47
And if you do it only a little, this comes out. You come to see the Word being fulfilled. The greatest blessing for the Remnant is what? The Word is fulfilled and world evangelization happens. There is no other way besides that. Do not be deceived. The world church must not be deceived. There is no way besides that. Everyone, this means you have received the blessing to do this.

Establish Small Regional Churches in the Field

2025.12.27 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (52)
– Model 46 of the 3 Courtyards –
Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1-6

Remnants ask many questions. “What should I do?” They ask this a lot. And there will be many questions about academics and the church as well, right? And some Remnants say, “I am studying here now, but there is no church here.” And some Remnants say, “I went, and there are church members, but it is a church that does not do Darakbang, so that is why.” They said things like that. The answer is simple. That Remnant is the church.

「Open a small branch church in the field」(Acts 17:1-6)
Wherever you go in the future, you are to make a small branch church in the field. You can do it alone. You just need to be praying alone. Then meetings will surely take place. Then someone will come who will become an important disciple. So whether in America or Europe or anywhere, Remnants must make a small branch church there.

▣ Introduction
1. Nobody
Because originally, you are people who start as Nobody.

2. Nothing
You start as Nothing. That is the Remnant.

No, there is nothing—so what should we do? This is the answer, I am telling you. I will give an example. I was teaching children, but I did not know how I should teach them. The children could not understand the gospel, could not pray, and they were noisy during worship time. You know, you have served elementary, early-elementary departments, right? The kids are very noisy. Then if you preach during worship time, there are not many children who listen to the sermon. At that time, I discovered it. Small groups and Darakbang. It is in the Bible—Darakbang. Complete works arose. You do not really need people and things like that. Because it is Nobody, Nothing.

I was in charge of middle and high school students, and I did not do anything else for the middle and high school department. There was no way. I went to meet them and gave them letters. That is what made works arise. You give answers to the part the children are most interested in. “Last week, which celebrity committed suicide, and why did they do it?” This kind of question. Then the answers all come out. Their spiritual state and spiritual problems all come out—there. For the kids, if you do that for them, it becomes a huge stir. It is Nobody, Nothing. Remnants must never be shaken.

▣ Main Body
1. A small branch church
Do not try to make something big. A small branch church.

2. A small M.H
Wherever there are Remnants, there is a small Mission Home.

3. A small school
Wherever there are Remnants, there is a small school. Even if you attend school, you must make a small school. So you must begin to meet talented people. From here you begin to make works. Right? Then it works. Do not try to do something well, do not try to do something big—just do properly what you have, and it works.

1. A small branch church (Acts 17:1)
Like Jason. He did not do something big. Later, this receives blessing as a tremendous church, right?

1) Region
This is a region that has a very important road on the way to Rome.

2) First Thessalonians 1:1-5
Later, if you look at First Thessalonians 1:1-5, it appears as a church that received the greatest blessing of faith, hope, and love.

3) Rome
Thessalonica is a city with a highway going to Rome. Paul was properly guided.

2. A small M.H (Acts 18:1-4, 24-28)
Wherever you are, it becomes a Mission Home like Acts 18. It becomes a house that makes talented people like Apollos in Acts 18:24 and 28 understand the gospel and understand prayer.

1) Meeting
So when meetings take place for Remnants,

2) Gospel + prayer
You must let them know what the gospel is, and what prayer is. At the New Year’s prayer meeting, it will mainly talk about prayer, but how do you really pray? And it is possible even when a Remnant is alone. Worship. Rather than simply praying alone, it is very important to pray while worshiping alone. Try doing it all alone. Sing hymns, confess the Apostles’ Creed, do it all alone. That is worship.

3) Corinth
Even when you do only that, this region later becomes a region that receives a great answer and evangelizes Corinth.

3. A small school
1) Synagogue
While you study in school, you must make a small school. Find talented people in the synagogue.

2) Lecture hall
Find disciples in the lecture hall. It came out, right?

3) Disciples separately
It says he established disciples separately here. This is the answer. Pastors must not try to gather many people. In one place, it is enough if just one disciple comes out separately. So who arrived in Corinth? The Priscilla couple arrived. So this synagogue work took place. One person is enough. And then it is fine even if you do not go again. Once this person comes out, you just send the message. And then you go to another region. I did 30 Darakbang sites in the Yeongdo region, but after exactly three years passed, I did not do it anymore, right? Why? You should not do it. You must go somewhere else. The disciples already came. These people do not go away. Once you have separately established disciples like Jason, Priscilla and her husband, they are bound to come.

So our Remnants must use the school strategy inside school. Find disciples. Remnants must study well, but cultivate the power of prayer. And then you must study. Remnants, do not worry about anything—enjoy the power of Christ. Later you will be amazed. Because God has prepared what belongs to you, pastors must make a firm decision. “I will find disciples in 1,000 places!” While you live your life, you must do that and go, must you not? He said to go to all peoples, and even if you cannot go to all peoples, you must at least go to regions, must you not? So now, properly, elders also must come forth as models—models who are truly blessed. I will pray.

Prayer. Thank You, God. We thank You for giving us the blessing of sending off one year and welcoming the new year that You give. Let all churches establish bartizans. Let all church leaders establish the bartizans of work. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

Open the Age of Individual and Group-Based Schools

2025.12.27 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (52)
– Bartizan 46 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
「Open the Age of Individual and Group-Based Schools」
Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1

Now the year is coming to an end. You must go with a sure prayer topic for next year. What you must surely do for one year, I will speak about at the New Year’s prayer meeting.

▣ Introduction
1. The bartizan of prayer
So first of all, you must establish the bartizan of prayer now. Only when the bartizan of prayer is established first will you be able to see what comes next, what God has prepared. How you should pray, we will see that at the New Year’s prayer meeting.

2. 1,000 bartizans
Pastors, pray for 1,000 bartizans. David established this. You only need to find one person in one region. People keep trying to do something big, but one person in one region is enough. Whether you send someone or go yourself, if you go to 1,000 places, 1,000 people come out. But the one condition is absolutely a bartizan. There are seven important points that God has prepared. You just need to meet those.

3. One region
And many people, especially church leaders, established a bartizan in one region—a sure bartizan—to the point that about 1,000 disciples would arise.

4. Missions – one nation (1,000 disciples)
For missions, you can choose one nation. From here, you can use the strategy of saving 1,000 regions and disciples. Because it is an important work of saving one nation.

5. 1,000 work bartizans
In our work as well, establish 1,000 work bartizans. You just need to find 1,000 disciples.

Someone I know did business in a market, and every day they go around the market. While going around, disciples come out. But many people do not do that. They are going around looking for disciples. If you listen to that person’s story, there are so many testimonies.

“The one-person, group school age”
Businesspeople, among you, what is the most important thing you must pray for today? Now, because the School Council is meeting today, pastors also must have eyes to see this when they go to mission regions. So if we went to Vanuatu, and we found someone who could teach the children in Vanuatu, then you only need to give that person 100 dollars a month. “I will give you one hundred dollars a month as your salary. Hold a school in your house or anywhere.” You can do it like that. So the school strategy is very important. Even one person is fine. In our concepts, we keep trying to build something big and do something big, and because only that concept is in us, we miss everything. A group is fine too. If one group is formed, you must open the school age from there. There is no evangelism better than this. And if it continues and this arises, you can keep supporting it.

What you are thinking is that Korea has many schools—only that. But in mission fields, it is not like that. In mission regions now, if you give 5 million won in Korean money, you can run one soccer team for a year—just with 5 million won. They even pay the coach’s salary and do everything. To completely make a soccer team, 5 million won for one year. There are tremendous mission fields and blessed regions still remaining. Around you, even there, the method of how you go is important. If you enter 1,000 places, 1,000 disciples come out, right? Because they are certainly prepared, God attaches prepared ones to the places you go. And you must truly receive blessing in your work. Right? You want to do missions and offerings as much as you want. You must truly receive blessing in your work.

▣ Introduction_ Bartizan strategy
Use a bartizan strategy like David. It is clear that David was a person of prayer. I strongly felt that David was a person of prayer. “Ah, this person is a person of prayer.” He established 1,000 bartizans here and there in the nation of Israel. He is an incredible person. From there, they protected the nation, from there they worshiped, from there they prayed, from there they held many festivals—everything. So the nation became prosperous.

Even establishing one person is enough. When did I catch that? About 40 years ago, when I was an evangelist at Jeonpo-dong. You do not need many. One teacher, a deacon, an English teacher—there is no need to go anywhere else. In their own home. In their home they did this, and about thirty children gathered. Thirty gathered, and what did they do? They spoke everything only in English. At first the kids struggled, but soon the kids changed. Parents went crazy trying to send their children there. There were no assistant teachers, nothing like that—alone. They produced children who speak proper English. In that place, you cannot use Korean at all. Bartizan strategy. Even one person can do it properly. This is how important a school is.

▣ Main Body
Now then, what kind of bartizan must you properly make? Why is the school strategy important?

1. Acts 17:1-9
In Acts 17, the synagogue appears, right?

2. Acts 18:1-4
Here also, the synagogue appears.

3. Acts 19:1-21
In Acts 19:1 and 21, the synagogue also appears.

This is for you to open your eyes that the School Council is a strategy to save the world. And it is the same in Korea. You must open your eyes to this.

1. Acts 17:1-9
1) Synagogue – communication
Do not look at this synagogue as nothing. It is not only children. It is a place where everyone communicates. He penetrated this.

2) Christ
Of course, they teach children. He went there and clearly explained about Christ. If you say this, will many people gather? You do not need many. Only those who understand this need to gather. We are looking for that. There is no need to try to explain well. Someone who understands even when you did not explain well is the real one. Right? Of course, many people say you must preach many “good sermons,” but you do not need good sermons. You are looking for people who understand Christ.

Haven’t I told you several times? Before coming here, there was a place called Dongseong Church. The pastor said we should do “Total Mobilization Sunday.” Because I was an associate pastor, I must do what the senior pastor says by several hundred percent. Right? I said, “Pastor, I alone will mobilize several thousand people.” “But, Total Mobilization Sunday must never be done again. Because it is what you instructed, I will make it 300%.” The pastor understood. We must raise disciples. After this ends, I said we should do an evangelism school. Because we keep doing only what does not work, it cannot work. It cannot work. Then it happens again. He trusted me somewhat. He said, “Pastor Ryu, when people gather, what kind of sermon should I preach?” I said, “Pastor, because you are so good at delivering messages, people can be captivated. Even if you stutter, it is fine—just talk only about Christ. The ones who remain are disciples.” I explained that.

3) Greeks, prominent women
Then Greeks and prominent women understood. Then that is enough. There is no need to look for many. Only find people who understand Christ. Then these people are enough.

4) Those in the market
But when this work arose, the people in the market interfered and so on. It does not matter at all.

5) Jason – absolute bartizan
At this time, what is Jason, who is he? He is the absolute bartizan. This one person is enough. Even if two people do not come out, it is fine. This one person is enough. And then Paul went somewhere else. After staying here for only three Sabbaths, he went somewhere else. He did really well.

All Remnants, establish an absolute bartizan in your studies. All pastors, establish 1,000 bartizans. All elders, make your work become 1,000 bartizans. It will work.

Pastor Lee Seong-hoon probably knows that deacon, but this person found disciples every day at their business site—every day. It is amazing. Normally, if you are the boss, you go out to eat lunch, right? This person packs a lunchbox and eats it. Why? Because eating out is a waste of time. Since time is wasted, they eat the lunchbox and go around. Unconditionally, establish 1,000 bartizans like David.

2. Acts 18:1-4
1) Romans, Jews
A meeting of Romans and Jews.

2) Acts 2:10
This person was a person who was in Acts 2:10. This person met Paul.

3) Sabbath
So every Sabbath, he went in and began to explain the facts that happened in Mark’s Upper Room. God blessed this Priscilla couple so they could do world evangelization. That is the real answer. That a person of work is blessed to do world evangelization is the real blessing. Barely eating and living? Unbelievers do that too.

3. Acts 19:1-21
Now look. Here, three big things appear. What are they?

1) Mark’s Upper Room (19:1-7)
In the same way, what happened in Mark’s Upper Room happens exactly as it was.

2) 19:8
The important thing is Acts 19:8. Paul speaks by quoting exactly what Jesus had said. A miracle happened.

3) 19:21
And after that, “I must also see Rome.” It is normal that you are blessed enough to evangelize Rome. You must completely change your thinking.

When I came here, I started in a crumpled 12-pyeong place, but I looked for land where thousands could gather. Church leaders gathered and were a bit worried because they could not understand. I even bought the small land next to it. When I saw that land, it seemed just right to build a restroom. Yes, I found this. This land is big. If you build this properly, you can do prayer and everything properly. You can pitch tents and do everything. “I must also see Rome.” It is natural. Right? People gathering here by the thousands, receiving disciple training—of course it is natural. Only then do answers come. From the beginning, the place we gathered was 12 pyeong, and the place we moved to was only 35 pyeong. From the beginning, an evangelism movement of 3,000 gathering arose. Right? Because we did 300 Darakbang sites.

Before, someone working at a pharmaceutical company asked me. How can this church do world missions? “Set up about 100 pharmacies. In major cities across the nation. Then it works. Call one person, have them earn, let them take half, and ask for half. If it does not work, make that person do it and ask them for mission funds.” Then if it gathers from 100 places, it becomes a huge amount. With that, you can do world missions. It is regrettable. If it were me, I would set up about 1,000 pharmacies. Money comes out, right? I cannot eat it all myself. I must do missions. I must serve the church. Right? Give mission funds to pastors. That is normal.

You must think from the beginning. Our Remnants, from the beginning, pray, “I will offer nine-tenths of the ten.” Right? Because you can earn 1 billion won a month, eat well on 100 million, and offer 900 million. Right? Bill Gates is doing that. The early church had no tithe, because they abandoned everything. There is no word “tithe.” That is something that pressured Jews who did not want to pay money. The early church did nine-tenths of the ten.

▣ Conclusion
Anyone can do it. This school strategy is possible even alone.

1. One person
Right? You must change your thinking.

2. Family
I saw families doing it. A family does a school. Wow, I was surprised—they did it in a basement, pounding the desk and doing it.

3. Group
A group can gather and do it.

4. Large-scale
And to take hold of a region, a large-scale approach is also possible. And when you are in that position, you must do it.

5. World school
And you can do it online too. As a world church. As a world school. Now, in representative places like RLS or RGS, you can create an online school for the whole world. Then it is a different system. For that, you must prepare a few things.

So these days, it is not difficult. It is a work that can save the world. Didn’t God say He would be with you, having all authority in heaven and on earth? “I will always be with you.” In Mark 16, it says the Lord seated on the throne blessed them. He said He would be with them with the power of the Holy Spirit 300%. That is right.

May today be the start of holding onto a sure prayer topic and building the bartizan of prayer, as I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the eternal love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all evangelists who will save the world, from now and forever. Amen.

 

3 Courtyards – Restore Temple of Light – My Bartizan

Prayer Journal: December 27, 2025 
2025 New Year’s Prayer Meeting Worship Service, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:105

Thank you. For over 30 years, by God’s grace, we are doing world evangelization. Of course, it must be thanks to the prayers of our covenant-holding church leaders and elders. Also, the prayers of many of our deaconesses and our deacons, without being noticed, are becoming strength. Because many assistant ministers have devoted themselves in various places without being noticed, we are now doing world evangelization.

Because the permit for temple construction did not come out for a long time, I continued 24 prayer over it. This was the answer given then. It was the three courtyards. “That’s right. We had not found this covenant.” So from the time we held onto that covenant, many answers, including the permit, began to come.

In the meantime, since it is something to be thankful for, since you must pray, as this year passes and the new year comes, when I go overseas, I usually meet people, right? When I meet them, since they are human, I hear many kinds of gossip, these stories and those stories. Since I have to analyze it in my own way, my head often hurts a little. But when I listen to it all and analyze it, in most cases it is not really like that, yet I end up hearing many such stories. For a long time, uniquely, when I go to America, there is someone who tells me only prayer topics. They only talk about holding onto the covenant. They only talk about evangelism. Then I thought, ah, spiritually, we cannot help but be connected. So together we prayed for a long time, saying, “Let’s save the 5,000 tribes.” And thankfully this time, that person expressed the desire to be sent as a missionary who saves the 5,000 tribes. Good. So we decided to go in and we sent them, and thankfully, so that you would have strength, this time you offered about 10 billion Korean Won . Because you must pray. It is not because of money; this is something rare even in Christian history. It is not something done with money gathered in large amounts. They are cutting off their own work and doing it now. So it is God’s amazing timetable. Therefore, many evidences will come in the future. No matter what anyone says, God’s plan cannot be stopped. So probably, starting from here, a tremendous 5,000 tribes movement will actually arise.

But today, everyone, simply, you must hold onto these three lectures this time. Right now, our country is in an extreme confrontation. Right? It is a bit severe. It seems crazy. Now, they are doing that, and when I look at it, it cannot help but be that way. Both sides are crazy. It cannot help it. Hey, what is this. So disasters come, right? Look at places like Muan. A huge accident has exploded. It is disaster. You do not know because you do not realize it, but many of your words, divisions, even families—right? Disaster comes to families. Right? People are extremely like that even in companies, and disaster comes to companies. Is it in the Bible? It is, in Ephesians 4. If you whisper and then flare up, the devil takes a foothold. So in Proverbs 6:2 it says, “You are ensnared by the words of your mouth.” That is right. This tongue is not easily seen, but a big ship is moved by one small rudder. So you must be very careful with speaking. When we speak, it seems like nothing, right? That is because you do not know the spiritual world.

If you listen carefully to soccer commentators, there are people who speak in a really unpleasant way. It does not seem like it affects anything, right? But we keep losing. Some people, when you watch their commentary, there is something like this, you know? Before, a strangely-commentating person got kicked out once, right?

Once, by chance, I watched a boxing match—not because I wanted to, but I happened to see it, and it was a fighter I do not know well. He must be a good fighter. Even now, I remember the name. He is a boxing commentator named Lee Dong-gi. This person was commenting in a very strange way. He was speaking to the broadcast like that. The opponent was very fast, from what I saw. But our fighter was seeing the opponent’s movement in advance and moving. From what I could see, he was a very skilled fighter. He predicted in advance how the other would come out and moved. So what does this Lee Dong-gi say? “Ah, our fighter’s reflexes have dropped a lot,” he says. That is not true. He kept commenting like that. In the end, our fighter won. What did he say? “Yes, he endured well,” he said. Lord…. Even if you talk like that, you must not talk like that. Right?

What is happening in our country is something old. It has come since the Korean War. Our Remnants do not know. We, when we were young, we always saw it and lived. We fought like that every day. “Let’s do communism,” “let’s do democracy,” and we always fought. They are continuing that now.

▣ Introduction
1. The forces of darkness
Because of this, the forces of darkness come upon us.

1) Great powers
Mainly great powers, and especially the nation of Israel with the Jews.

2) Politicians
Simply put, the politicians of our country.

3) Public opinion
Such people, and then many kinds of public opinion as well.

4) Satan
Satan works like this, and they fall into the forces of darkness.

2. The forces of light
At this time in our country, what happened back then? The forces of light appeared. It was not something politicians did. At that time, missionaries had already entered our country. And while doing so, they did three tremendous and important things. Before doing that, they informed the whole world about the injustice that happened in Korea. And then they did three important things. This is how light came upon our country. Now, what is this light?

1) Genesis 1:3
It is the light of creation. When the light of creation shines in darkness, it cannot help but be overcome.

The elders here who are a bit older will know. How poor our country was—unimaginably poor. It was so difficult that you would eat dinner and worry about tomorrow morning. So when people met, they greeted each other by asking, “Have you eaten?” Even now, that greeting habit remains, but in the past, whenever you met, you said, “Have you eaten?” because you could not eat. This country is now standing in the ranks of advanced nations. Why? It is hard to understand. Other countries also do not understand Korea. Politicians like that gather every day, yet the country receives blessing. It is hard to understand. A soldier who participated in the Korean War came and said he was shocked. “How can it develop like this?” Some systems cannot even be compared to America. Korea’s systems are very developed.

2) Isaiah 60:1–2
The light of the LORD that liberates. Just rise and shine.

3) Psalm 119:105
In Psalm 119:105 it says that God’s Word is a light to our feet.

4) John 1:11
And more importantly, in John 1:11 it says Jesus came as the light.

5) Matthew 5:14
So in Matthew 5:14, He tells us, “You are the light of the world.”

3. The three courtyards
Now you must know how this light came. At that time, in our country, the three courtyards came into being. You must remember. The three courtyards came into being, and who was in these courtyards? Completely, multicultural foreign missionaries firmly held onto our country. It is truly fortunate. What did they do? They established schools. Simply put, they did the Remnant movement. Not only that. That Ilsin Women’s Hospital right next to Busan—those were the daughters of missionary Mackenzie who came back sick from going to Vanuatu. They came, and because Korea was so poor, and women were dying while giving birth, and babies were dying too, they established a hospital that enabled women to give birth. While doing that, they began to proclaim the gospel. Our country suddenly began to live. Darkness could not exert its power, and works began in our country to the point of world evangelization. You must believe.

[ The three courtyards ]
So today, the first covenant you must hold onto is the three courtyards. What was discussed even with the team that made the offering pledge? The three courtyards. This is everything. If I do not know this word, I cannot do world evangelization. This word is the courtyard of multicultural people. Right? If missionaries had not come to our country, what would have happened? It would have been a big problem. Even if great powers pressed down, there would be no solution. While we were closing our eyes, the great powers rose and began to trample our country, and foreign missionaries informed the world and left all the 자료. Those 자료 still all exist. If those people had not been there, our country would have been almost ruined. And they built hospitals everywhere and proclaimed the gospel. And they built schools and proclaimed the gospel. Representative universities like Yonsei University and Severance—these are all built and made by missionaries. So they built hospitals, built schools, and the three courtyards. So as you enjoy this blessing, before entering into the main body, what title must you hold today?

[ The three courtyards ] – “Restore the temple of light – My bartizan”
Restore the temple of light. This is it. Restore the temple that has the three courtyards. In order to do this, it is to change my bartizan. You must receive the important answer in advance here and enter in.

Now, it will not be long. You must hold firmly to the covenant you must hold. In order for you to enjoy this amazing blessing, what prayer must begin?

[ The one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, the one who will leave behind ]
The prayer of the one left. You will not die. The prayer of the one who remains. The prayer of the one who will remain. The prayer of the one who will leave behind. A moment ago, our assistant ministers greeted and said such things. You are important. Do not be afraid. You are a model here. There is no one who will recognize you. You must gain this strength. Right? There is no one who will truly help you. You must have this strength, this strength.

[ 24, 25, eternity ]
With this, absolutely do 24. This is prayer. So it is fine if it differs by person. Even if you pray only five minutes with your eyes open, it is the start of 24. Remnants can do only five minutes. Even when you sleep, only five minutes is fine. In the daytime, when something is important, even just a moment is fine. Even then, it becomes 24. In my case, from the moment I open my eyes until I go to deliver the message, I do it. I cannot help it. All day, until I come to deliver the message. If secretaries are next to me and ask, I do not respond well. Why? Because I must do this.

Then, surely, this (25) is seen. This is prayer. Because this is prayer, this (eternity) masterpiece will come out through you. So begin to enjoy prayer correctly. “Where should I go to pray?” It is right, but it is not prayer. You must do it anywhere. Right? “Shouldn’t I pray at times like this?” It is a correct statement but a wrong statement. Anywhere is fine. You must find this. Then you have already restored the prayer of the one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, and the one who will leave behind. You do not need to worry at all. He said to wait. 25 comes. Then it is combined within your ministry and a masterpiece comes out.

“I don’t know prayer?” Your prayer is all combined, and world evangelization is happening now. Right? Because your prayer is combined, the world is being moved. If you do not know that, you do not know prayer.

So Muslim fixed-time prayer—things like that are a joke for us. You cannot do it with that. Our assistant ministers who labor—do you understand? You are the main actors here. What, gather in a synagogue? With that kind of prayer, you cannot do world evangelization. You cannot solve spiritual problems. What, go to a temple and bow 108 times. With that kind of thing, nothing happens. Why? We do 24. Do you understand what I mean?

[ John 1:14 Fulfillment of the Word ]
Then surely this comes. This tremendous fulfillment of the Word that establishes the three courtyards takes place. This is the key. The Word is God, and in John 1:14 it says the Word became flesh and came. That means incarnation and salvation and everything, but it means the Word has come upon us. This is the first thing you must remember. The three courtyards.

3. The three courtyards
1) Multicultural
Because of you, multicultural people live. What could be better than this? In our country, first, missionaries were already in the three courtyards. Wasn’t it an era with almost no foreigners? Yet they came then.

2) RT
They established schools, established universities here and there, and they even established middle and high schools and raised the next generation.

3) Healing
So they established hospitals and healed. I heard recently, but Ilsin Hospital—because the two Mackenzie daughters came, there were no beds, people came and died. Those daughters went and asked the U.S. military base. Because Koreans were dying in war, and women died giving birth, babies died, mothers died, they asked for help. They asked, “Give us beds.” “If you have leftover beds used by the U.S. military, give them to us.” So the U.S. soldiers brought those beds and spread them throughout that hospital. This is how our country began.

Then we must open our eyes to what these three courtyards are. Only then is the temple restored. The temple of light is restored.

▣ Main Body
From this point, three things come.

1. Inside me
As you keep doing this prayer, the bartizan of this Word first comes upon me. How does it come?

1) The seven bartizans
Jesus directly said it. Jesus promised that the Triune God would work in us as the seven bartizans by the power of the throne.

2) The journey of the throne
He said to go the journey of the throne with this power.

3) The guidepost of the throne
I will speak about it in the final time, but make it so that guideposts of the throne are established here and there. It will come.

From now on, hidden talents of the 5,000 tribes will come rushing in.

2. Inside the church
This does not end there. Finally, it is established inside our church—through prayer. You only need to prepare like this. You came to our church, and multicultural people obtained this power. Since there is no time, I will give only one example each.

1) Exodus 2:1–10
It is Moses’ mother. Moses’ mother established this (Exodus 2:1–10) bartizan. Unimaginable things happened. Even she did not know. She only did according to the Word, but this is the beginning that overturns the world. This (Exodus 2:1–10) is the power of light. This (Exodus 2:1–10) is the power of God’s Word. There is clear evidence, right? This is what you make inside the church.

2) 2 Kings 6:8–24
And what is it? There are many, but when you set up one Dothan fortress according to 2 Kings 6:8–24, all Remnants began to rise. They won without even fighting Aram.

Even now, you must quickly restore this. 24, 25, eternity. If you are inside this, your health is restored, everything is restored. And an invisible bartizan begins to be established. Now inside the church, Remnants begin to rise. Inside the church, multicultural people begin to rise.

3) Daniel 1:8–9
It is not only that. Wherever you go, like the Babylon Remnant, a healing work arises. It is not that he tried to heal. He just did the errand of God’s Word, and to the other person, a healing work happened. Everyone, you already have this blessing. Because it has already come, the bartizan is formed.

3. In the field
Finally, in your field. If you look at Paul in the field, you can understand most accurately. Since you already know, you must always enjoy.

1) Acts 13, 16, 19
If you look at Paul in Acts 13, 16, and 19, what is the first thing he made? He made the bartizan of the Gentiles. Until he made that, sometimes he did not even move. There is nothing to worry about. If this bartizan is established in your work, will your work succeed or not? You do not need to ask. This bartizan is established in the Remnant’s studies.

2) Acts 13, 16, 19
And what else? In Acts 13, 16, and 19, what appears? The bartizan of healing. He healed diseases that no one could heal. These things appeared.

3) Acts 17, 18, 19 (Rome)
Then in the end, what is it? In Acts 17, 18, and 19, what appears? The synagogue. And then what is the goal? Rome. This is it.

You can simply hold onto the covenant. I am the one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, and the one who will leave behind. Restore this prayer. Just do it. So in my case, I always say, since you must be healthy, I focus with breathing—others can do it differently. I do it like that.

In 2019, a scholar who received the Nobel Prize said it. He said that because breathing is short and oxygen does not reach even the cells, cancer 반드시 arises. He proved it scientifically. Because it is lacking, cancer forms in the cells. They say everyone’s cancer comes and goes, comes and goes. But because it is lacking, it gets caught and becomes real. So, “That’s right.” So if you do that much, the Remnant’s brain comes alive. I don’t know why you don’t do it. Why don’t you do the breathing God gave? While breathing, do this.

And then you keep entering into prayer. When you pray, keep only this (the seven bartizans, the journey of the throne, the guidepost of the throne). Then it is made inside our church. Then finally what is it? In the field, the three courtyards appear. This is victory.

So from today, from now, you begin. So you must always be within the power of prayer. Do you need some other power? You must be within the power of prayer. Other happiness is not happiness. That is all nonsense. You must be within the happiness of prayer. Nothing else is happiness. And other answers are not answers. It must be the power that comes down from the throne. Enjoy that.

▣ Conclusion
Now, what result happened?

1. Great powers
Unimaginable things happened among great powers. This is the power of light. No one expected it. When they said they were going to offer blood sacrifices, Pharaoh laughed right away. “What blood sacrifice? You still haven’t come to your senses.” He did not even understand. But this overturned Egypt. Wherever they went among great powers. And since they would become captives, “A virgin will conceive and bear a son,” and nothing else works, and His name is Immanuel. Works arose through those who held onto that covenant. It was beyond imagination, beyond imagination.

So perhaps in the future, when you look at Remnants, it will be beyond imagination. “How can such a thing happen?” that is what it will be.

2. Jews
They completely smashed the Jews’ bartizan. It was completely smashed, the Jews.

3. Rome
Is that all? Rome.

In the early days in our country, a missionary who entered to preach the gospel—because it rained, to avoid the rain, he went into a place in the village where, after a funeral, the tools had been gathered and kept. He went in there and rested. That is how unhygienic our country was. He went in there, rested a bit, came out, and became sick. And he died. But when he died, there were no missionaries, right? After a few years, his wife came as a missionary. “I will do this gospel movement in Korea.”

Some missionaries came as single women, but they could not overcome Korea’s endemic soil diseases. They became sick and died. There were missionaries who died in their twenties. Those people commonly left the same words. They left words when they died. It looked like a casual statement, but they all said the same thing: “Korea is a nation that will receive God’s blessing, and Korea will do world evangelization in the future.” I thought it was just words of comfort. Look now. Korea has received the blessing of doing world evangelization. Yes, we cannot help but enter the ranks of advanced nations.

So your small ministries and prayers, because they are light, can save the world. Restore this prayer. In the second lecture, I will speak a bit differently again. This time, I will speak only about what you must restore.

I will pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us enjoy God’s power 24. Let us become God’s watchmen whom the LORD blesses without rest. Let us possess the power of light that gains new strength. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
