David Easily Overcame Goliath

2025.07.13 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 17:31-37

▣ Introduction_ The reason we hold the Remnant Conference – Preparation for 300% Power

When they entered the land of Canaan, they thought there would be great blessings, but the opposite happened. It wasn’t just 14 years—it was 14 generations of leaders, and during that time they suffered under the Philistines. Fourteen generations—that is an extremely long time. They couldn’t even dream of world evangelization; they were constantly harassed by war with the Philistines. But this time, it wasn’t just that—they were faced with Goliath. And the terms Goliath presented were different from before. He didn’t say, “Let’s have a war.” He said, “If there’s anyone among you who believes in the Lord and has strength, come out.” This was outright mockery. He was saying, “Anyone who believes in the Lord, come out. Come out and fight me.” It was completely different from regular war. He said, “If I lose, our nation will surrender to you. But if you cannot defeat me, you must surrender to us.” David heard this. As you know, David dealt with Goliath in a single moment. This is a well-known account. But it’s not about knowing it; we must receive this answer ourselves.

※ If a believer does not enjoy or proclaim God’s power, it becomes the gravest crime.

If someone becomes a king but cannot use the power given to him, that is the greatest sin. If someone becomes a president or a member of Congress but does not use their power correctly, that is the gravest crime. Likewise, if a believer cannot enjoy and proclaim the power of God, it becomes the gravest crime. How much power did David have? He defeated Goliath easily—not just easily, but as if eating porridge, without difficulty. He handled it simply. Today, we must look at this and find the answer.

There are three things we must know first. Why do we hold the Remnant Conference?

1. After holding to the covenant – prepare for 300% power
It all began when the leader Samuel gave David a great covenant. After David held onto this covenant, “He was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” He prepared 300% power. At that time, his father entrusted him with an important errand. It wasn’t just any errand. He said, “Make sure you take this and bring back proof.” For the leader and the parents, this became the start of something tremendous. This is the first reason. Why do we go through so much trouble to hold the Remnant Conference? This is the reason. We must not raise remnants who will close down powerless churches and powerless churches around the world. The three organizations have declared, “America no longer needs churches.” Even the president said, “Don’t pray in Congress anymore.” And they said, “Do not pray in the name of Jesus Christ.” It has come to that point. That is why we gather our prayers to raise remnants.

2. Remnants must prepare with 300%

The second reason is this: why must remnants prepare with 300%? “He was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” You must have this power. Don’t be deceived. Our remnants often worry about the future. Do not worry at all. What will you do in the future? Don’t worry about that. The answer will come. You just need to know something first. Let me give you three examples starting with Joseph.

1) Joseph
Joseph did not worry, “What should I do?” He already knew—world evangelization. But he went to a place that had nothing to do with that—as a slave. And there, he gave 300%. Cleaning, 100%. That household received 100% of the blessings. Potiphar saw this and was moved. “What will I do?” There is no need to worry about that. That is something an unbeliever does. For you, who are saved, God has a plan. Immediately, Potiphar said, “Don’t just be a slave,” and appointed him as the chief steward, responsible for everything in the house. Then he was falsely accused and sent to prison. It’s okay. There, he gave 300%. He gained strength through prayer even in prison. In the prison, he became the chief steward again. And what happened? He interpreted the dreams of the officials and gained recognition from the officials. He gave 100% in the field. This is the way to the future. You must know this blessing.

2) Moses
Next is Moses. He realized this a bit later. Even before entering the palace, he was 100% prepared with the covenant. He studied for 40 years in the palace. He was 100% prepared for the field. Then he went to Midian and prepared through prayer. He became a global leader. There’s no need to say more. This is what we must raise.

3) Samuel
Another one is Samuel. “Not a single word of Samuel fell to the ground.” That’s 100%. “There was no war while Samuel was alive.” That’s another 100%. “Those who saw Samuel served the Lord.” This is why you must know the reason for the 300%. What will you do? Don’t worry about that.

3. The timetable – enjoyment, waiting, challenge
There is another reason—the timetable. Enjoyment, waiting, and challenge. The time will surely come. David enjoyed and waited. The timetable came, and he challenged. Many people misuse the expression and say, “It’s like the fight between David and Goliath,” as if it means an unfair fight. But in reality, if David fought 100 times, he would win 100 times. Remnants, take this power with you.

▣ Main Point_ How do we receive this power?

1. Before going out to the world – establish your personal absolute bartizan.
First, how do you take this power? You must remember this before going out to the world. Before going out into the world, establish your personal absolute bartizan. Stake your life on it. You must give everything you have for it.

1) In the pasture (Psalms 78:70-72)
David was already in the pasture when this happened. It is written in Psalms 78:70-72. Even at a young age, he entered deeply into the Word. Do not miss the message. Remnants all over the world, do not miss the message. Wherever you are in the field, do not miss the message. To what extent? Psalms has 150 chapters. David wrote one-third of them. Hold onto the Word like that.

2) A person of praise (1 Samuel 16:23)
And do you know what else? He was a person of praise to the extent that evil spirits departed. Even as a child, he was already prepared. His vessel was prepared.

3) The skill of not losing even one sheep (1 Samuel 17:34-35)
How skilled was he? He did not lose a single lion or bear when they came after the sheep. To save the sheep, he hit the critical spot on the lion or bear with a stone. If you just throw it anywhere, they’ll go wild, but if you hit the vital spot, they collapse. David was that precise. He threw the stone at the vital point and knocked the bear or lion unconscious, then tore open their mouths and rescued the sheep. He said he never lost even one sheep.

4) David received the future and the sure covenant through Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13)
That’s not all. Samuel himself came. The high priest Samuel came and said, “Do not worry.” He delivered the future and the sure covenant to David. From that moment, David received the bartizan of power. This is important. “From that day on, David was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” This is the first point. No matter what anyone says, do not be deceived. You must first receive the bartizan of power before going out into the world. There’s no need to listen to people talking this or that. What use is it if you have no power and just talk at work? Can a church survive on words alone without power? Can a nation survive like that? Our remnants must go and save people. Train that power now. Remember this well.

2. On that day – take the bartizan to save the field (the power to overcome darkness).

The day will surely come. Take the field-saving bartizan—the power to overcome darkness. Never be shaken. No matter how difficult it is, you must take the bartizan that saves the field. David already had it.

1) Goliath insulting God (1 Samuel 17:1-16)
Let me explain the situation. For 40 days, Goliath stood in the Valley of Elah, shouting and threatening. On one side stood the Israelite army, terrified. Goliath was six cubits and a span tall—that’s about 2.9 meters, close to 3 meters. He was enormous. If he played basketball, he could just grab the ball and dunk it immediately. How strong would a man of that size be? His armor weighed 5,000 shekels—that’s 57 kilograms. Just imagine wearing armor that heavy. His spearhead alone was 7 kilograms. He carried a fearsome spear. For 40 days, he mocked Israel. “Bring out someone who believes in the Lord!” He insulted God and demanded someone come out. The Bible says Saul and all the Israelites were terrified. Saul said, “If anyone will fight Goliath, I will give him half of my wealth and make him my son-in-law.” How many do you think volunteered? Not one person volunteered. Why? Because they knew they would die. There’s no point in wealth or marriage if you’re dead.

2) Jesse’s errand education
At that time, David was running an errand for his father. His father said, “Make sure you take this and bring back proof.” This is the kind of education we must give to remnants. We must help remnants see what is important—to see the power of God. That is our mission. Nothing else matters. If you lose out there, it’s useless. No matter how great your words are, if your children are defeated by unbelievers, they’ll have to run errands for them.

3) David knew the reason why he had to fight Goliath (1 Samuel 17:23-29)
Verse 25 says, “Not one warrior is stepping forward.” No one did. David heard this mocking voice. He asked his brothers, “What if I fight Goliath?” In verse 28, his brothers said, “You’re an arrogant and wicked boy.” They said, “You’re arrogant and evil.” But in verse 29, David answered, “Is there not a cause?” David knew exactly why he had to fight Goliath. His brothers had nothing to say. They accused him of arrogance, but how can someone receiving God’s answer be arrogant and evil?

4) “The Lord will deliver me from the hand of the one who insults Him” (1 Samuel 17:31-37)
Saul heard about this. Saul was desperate. David was brought before him. As you know, Saul said, “But you are a boy, and he is a seasoned warrior. How can you fight him?” That’s a reasonable point. How could a child fight a general? But David said, “The Lord delivered me from the lion and the bear. He will deliver me from the hand of the one who insults the Lord.” He asked to be sent out.

5) To defeat Goliath, you don’t need armor (1 Samuel 17:38-40)
Saul was desperate. But none of the armor fit David because he was just a boy. So he took off the armor. Do you need armor to defeat Goliath? The soldiers in armor couldn’t defeat him. So David went without it. He simply took his staff and a sling.

6) David went out in the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:41-47)
Goliath said his first and last words. Laughing and mocking, he said, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” That was Goliath’s first and last statement. He didn’t know it would be the last words of his life. David gave an important answer in verses 45-47: “You come at me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come at you in the name of the Lord, whom you have insulted. Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will prove that salvation is not by sword or spear, but by the Lord.”

7) David defeated Goliath (1 Samuel 17:48-58)
Did Goliath understand? Maybe not. But as soon as David spoke, he threw the stone. It flew straight into the only exposed part—between the eyes where there was no helmet. According to the late Principal Yoon’s data, the stone traveled at 135 km/h. It struck and embedded into Goliath’s forehead, and he immediately collapsed. The Bible says, “David had no sword.” But Goliath had one on his waist. David pulled out Goliath’s sword and struck off his head. David had already prepared everything. This wasn’t done out of impulse—it was thoroughly prepared. He grabbed Goliath’s head—the head of the man who had insulted the Lord for 40 days—and cut it off. Imagine that scene. David carried Goliath’s head. Saul was shocked. He should’ve said, “Wow, you did it! You used to play music in my palace, and now you’ve done this great thing.” But Saul was so shocked he said, “Who are you?” David answered, “I am the son of Jesse of Bethlehem.” This was David’s strength. We must raise remnants with the power to overcome darkness.

3. Take the future bartizan that God has prepared.

Third, take the future bartizan that God has fully prepared.

1) David who overcame suffering (Psalms 23:1-6)
From this point, David received many answers, but suffering also came. It was obvious—the powerless ones tried to kill David, pouring out hardships upon him. King Saul had no power, so he tried everything to kill David. Saul’s servants made up lies: “David must not be left alive.” Saul was moved by these lies. How did David overcome this? He said, “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Your rod and staff comfort me.” This was David’s confession in the midst of great pain. “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” David completely overcame.

2) The one thousand bartizans
David even prepared the future bartizan. He fulfilled the message he received from Samuel. Before doing that, he did something else first—he built one thousand bartizans throughout the nation where people could pray and protect the nation.

3) Preparing the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant
After that, he prepared for the temple that would house the Ark of the Covenant. He said, “I sleep in a comfortable bed, but the Ark of the Lord is in a tent blowing in the wind.” He expressed his agony over this. So he decided to build the temple—a temple to save the world. He fully prepared for this. The Bible says, “The Lord saw only David’s heart.” We must help remnants hold to the correct covenant, whether they can accomplish it or not.

▣ Conclusion

Let’s conclude.

1. David’s faith was always the same.

1) In childhood (Psalms 78:70-72)
David’s childhood faith was important. Though he was young in age, his faith was greater than the king’s. Psalms 78 says so. From tending sheep, he received the blessing of becoming the king who shepherded the nation.

2) In adolescence
He defeated Goliath during his teenage years.

3) In youth
He faced many hardships as a young adult, but his faith remained the same.

4) As a king
Even as king, he pleaded with tears to build the temple.

5) In old age
More importantly, his faith remained the same even in old age. When people around him began calculating and scheming, thinking David was old, they tried to set up a new king. His own son Absalom gathered an army and attacked his father. David was a warrior—he could have killed him immediately. But he ran away—barefoot because he was in a hurry. As he fled, he made one request to his soldiers: “Do not kill Absalom.” Any other king would have ordered his death, but David said, “Do not kill Absalom.” Later Absalom died—he had long hair, and when his horse bolted, his hair got caught in a tree, and he died.

As David fled, Shimei—a man from Saul’s clan—cursed and threw stones at him. David’s men wanted to kill him, but David said, “Do not. Maybe God sent him. My own son betrayed me, so why not Shimei? If God grants me grace, I will be restored.” Fleeing like that is not easy.

At that time, someone came—not to curse him but to help. It wasn’t a grand gift but something that matched David’s situation—some food and provisions. David was deeply moved. In hardship, some people make it worse; in hardship, others help. This person was Barzillai. Later, when David returned to the palace and rebuilt a strong nation, he called Barzillai and asked, “What can I do for you?” Barzillai said he needed nothing. “Since the king has returned, I need nothing else. Just bless our descendants.” David remembered Barzillai’s son Chimham and later called him to the palace.

No king left behind something as remarkable as David did.

2. Resolution – I will enjoy the timetable of the throne and establish that bartizan.

Today we must make a resolution. I, too, will enjoy the timetable of the throne and establish that bartizan. There is no reason not to resolve this.

1) Abraham began building the altar
Abraham struggled and then made the resolution to begin building altars.

2) Isaac after the incident at Mount Moriah
You know that Isaac almost died on Mount Moriah. After that, he made a resolution. God gave Isaac a blessing 100 times greater than others. He didn’t just receive a spring; he received the fountainhead and the blessing of Rehoboth. Make this resolution.

3) Ezekiel
God asked Ezekiel, “Can these dry bones live?” He didn’t say, “They cannot live,” nor did he say, “They can.” He said, “The Lord can do it.” Then God told him two things: “Prophesy to the Word,” and “Prophesy to the breath.” You have the right to prophesy. Believe it.

4) Jeremiah (Jeremiah 33:1-3)
God spoke to Jeremiah a second time. What did He say? Jeremiah was imprisoned, yet God said, “The Lord who made it, the Lord who forms it to establish it—the Lord is His name—says this: Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

5) The evangelist’s resolution
I have made a resolution. Since I have no power, I will pray with the covenant of 24, 25, and eternity. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be your time of resolution.

Prayer

We give thanks to God. Let today be the day when this important resolution is made. May the work of God begin anew in our lives. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

24, 25, Eternity and the Remnants of 237-5000

2025.07.12 Scattered Disciples
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (28)
– Model 24 of 7∙7∙7 –
Scripture Reading: Ro 16:25-27

Now then, another important answer will emerge.
What, then, is the 24, 25, and eternity of the remnant who will save the 237 nations and 5000 tribes? The answer comes from the scattered ones. I intentionally grouped these two together—because it leads to the answer.

1. RT 24
What is Remnant 24? It is the answer you must receive now.

1) 24 RT
Pray that a team of remnants who pray 24 hours a day will be formed. A 24-hour prayer team will be established. This is Remnant 24. Specifically, it refers to the remnants who live 24.

2) PKs and MKs
What you must know here is this—organize the PKs and MKs. There must be spiritual communication through prayer.

3) EKs
One more thing. Don’t think elders are without value. There must be an EK (Elder’s Kids) group. “We are the children of elders and church leaders—what shall we do?” Isn’t that important?

2. RT 25 (connection)
What is Remnant 25? All you need to do is connect to the field, to evangelism, and to missions, according to Romans 16:26. Why? Because it’s now. Just connect.

3. Eternity – 300%
What is eternity? This is the part you must always pray for. Prayer, work, and future—300%. Don’t worry about your job. Don’t worry about what you’ll do. Just take what you have now and develop it to 300%.

“Oh, but this doesn’t suit me.” That doesn’t matter. Joseph became a slave. Did he say, “Ah, this suits my nature”? Of course not. “Being a slave is a perfect fit for me”? No. But he gave 300% right there. Even unbelievers were shocked.

He went to prison—did that match his nature? No. But there, too, he gave 300%. He met the king—and again, he gave 300%.

Prayer, work, and future—300%.

Let us pray.

Prayer. We give glory, praise, and thanksgiving to God. Open our spiritual eyes so that we are not deceived. Many are dying in the world, with nowhere to go. They are leaving the church. They are going to strange organizations. They are suffering spiritually. Lord, work so that we may do what You desire. Let me first enjoy the answer in this matter. I pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

3 Preparations for the 3 Ages

2025.07.12 Core
The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (28)
– Preparation for WRC –
Scripture Reading: Jn 21:15-18

Some people say, “This is a food you must eat,” and not only recommend it to others but keep eating it themselves. Even when problems arise and the doctor tells them to stop, they continue. Why? Because that statement stuck with them. That’s what we call a message, not just a word. God’s Word is Logos—eternal truth—but when it strikes me personally, it becomes a message. That’s why even something wrong can become a message if it sticks. When human words stick, that becomes the message—even if it’s wrong. We sometimes reflect on ourselves after hearing people’s words or reading something—but not after hearing God’s Word. Why is that? Because the wrong things have already embedded as messages.

Our congregation and church leaders must have the three-day weekend age, the three courtyards, and the holy meditation age embed as a message. Only then can they truly help pastors and the next generation. If these don’t become messages, it will never work.

I know someone who takes 24 vitamin C tablets a day. Even when told to stop, they don’t—because it stuck. Another person only eats one evening meal daily. Even though they’re frail and told it’s harmful, they keep doing it—because it stuck as a message. That’s the problem.

“Preparation for the WRC Conference”
You must be struck by the message: “Why did they gather with focus in the Bible? Why was Jesus so angry when the three courtyards were neglected? Why are we losing to the three organizations?” That message must strike deeply.

This preparation is not just about putting on an event. It’s about genuinely delivering something to the remnants. How will you do that?

▣ Introduction – [Mental illness][Incurable disease (cancer)] – 50%
As we just prayed, we are living in an age of mental illness—from depression to psychiatric disorders. An age of incurable diseases like cancer. Even more serious than cancer is the illness of the heart. People cannot do what they will. Why? Because things do not go their way. If they did, it wouldn’t be illness.

1. Holding onto it themselves
In some sense, they’re holding onto it themselves—that’s why they can’t let go.

1) Satan’s 12 strategies
Satan has offered these through 12 incredibly attractive strategies.

2) 5 personal bartizans
On top of that, we humans build 5 personal bartizans.

3) Environment
The environment doesn’t help people escape—it tightens its grip.

4) Spiritual problems
And spiritual problems come. That’s why they can’t escape.

You need to help them. Don’t listen to distorted words—take this seriously.

2. Healing
How must you heal them?

1) Healing Satan’s bartizan (Christ)
Why do we start with the gospel? Because Satan’s bartizan must be destroyed first. Jesus said to a devout person, “A stronger one has built a house inside you—what can you do?” He said, “Even when you clean up and try to live faithfully, the unclean spirits bring seven more with them.” Paul said, “They’ve built a stronghold.”

Jesus said directly, “You serve the gods of this world more than the true God.” Paul also said, “You serve worldly gods.” Jesus even said, “You serve the king of this world.” Even Peter emphasized the law more than the gospel—“Shouldn’t we live by Jewish law?” They get ensnared because they’re holding onto the wrong thing. This is the bartizan that must be healed.

It’s not just the gospel—it is only the gospel. The Bible is clear. Many oppose evangelism saying, “Why only Christ? We also believe in Him.” We’re not saying you don’t—we’re saying there’s only one way to overcome this: Christ alone. Satan knows that. We must heal this.

2) Healing the root (bartizan)
You must heal the root. If someone has cancer, of course they must go to the hospital—that’s called treatment. But that’s not healing the root. You must strengthen the root.

If someone is mentally struggling, they must listen to the doctor and take prescribed medicine. But alongside that, they must develop spiritual strength from God. Some children refuse to take medicine—even when their parents and doctors say to. That’s wrong. You must take the medicine and seek what only God can give.

That’s why we focused for 40 days. We changed the bartizan. That’s why healing naturally follows.

3) Healing the imprint (journey)
You must heal what’s been imprinted. “When the day of Pentecost had fully come…” That’s an important expression—it means the journey had reached 50 days.

The journey changed. Before, you moved by effort—now, you move by the power of the throne. Before, you forced yourself to endure—now, you enjoy it through prayer. It’s completely different.

4) Re-creation healing (2 Corinthians 5:17; 12:1–10; Romans 16:25–27)
This is essential. The Bible shows three things:

– “A new creation.” A new spiritual DNA must enter.
– Like Paul in 2 Corinthians 12:1–10, we must go deep into healing and renew the roots.
– Like Romans 16:25–27, we must taste the world prepared before eternity and lasting for eternity.

5) Future healing
This is called future healing. You must carry this with you.

3. Depression – Panic disorder – Comfort
No one else can help now—only you. People are suffering from depression and panic attacks. In such an age, you must help them.

Last week, I read a book—this week, actually—because our church is holding a healing festival. It was written by a Japanese psychiatrist. I tend to trust Japanese scholarship more—not that I disregard others. It was helpful and insightful. But it doesn’t heal.

The key is a single word: Where will you receive comfort? The author emphasizes comfort from people—from various experiences. That helps. A kind husband who is always there? That helps. A good wife? That helps. A good doctor? That helps. But it doesn’t heal. Healing comes from comfort that descends from above—from God. Because this is a spiritual illness, it must be healed by spiritual means. This isn’t a cold or an upset stomach. It’s a spiritual disease—a neurological one. They need help.

So church leaders must receive this as a message. When assistant pastors receive this as a message, the work begins. When the senior pastor receives this as a message, revival happens.

This is reality. So, will you not act? I want to ask pastors—will you not act? People are suffering from mental illness and incurable disease. This now affects almost 50% of people. Should we wait until it’s worse? It’s already late. We must act.

We must act with conviction. As those who are saved, we must have compassion for souls. Do you truly hate someone? Then I question your salvation. You may find someone pitiful, but you should not hate them. Even those who trouble or attack us may simply be pitiful. Sometimes they may even be right. If you are truly saved, then you must act. No one else can.

If someone goes to a shaman, they may experience power. But is that healing? No. If it were, we’d simply send people there. The three organizations are the “high-level” versions of those shamans. But the result is the same. And what’s the fruit? The U.S., completely controlled by the three organizations, has the highest rate of mental illness.

▣ Main point

1. The three ages
You must become the main figures of the three ages. And in the middle, something is needed.

2. The three preparations
There are three preparations you must make.

1) The three ages
What are the three ages?

1) The age of the three courtyards
Reflect on everything mentioned in the introduction. Unless this is restored, churches will close. In Europe, most have already closed. In the U.S., it’s begun. In Korea, closures have also begun. That’s undeniable. We can’t keep stubbornly holding on. It has begun—and we must stop it.

People are going to heretical groups like Shincheonji. If Shincheonji were right, we should promote them. But they’re not. So what’s our countermeasure? We must prepare it.

2) The three-day weekend age
Healing comes only through spiritual focus. Listening to a 30-minute sermon once a week? That’s not enough. People sometimes don’t even want to go. They’re not in a state to go. They’re tested and discouraged. They drag themselves to hear a short sermon. Thirty minutes? Too long. Can you win this way? The Korean church is doing everything that leads to death.

Open the three-day weekend age. There must be serious forum, serious Word discovery.

3) The age of holy meditation
God has given each of us a unique world through which we save ourselves and others. You must enjoy this—this is the age of holy meditation.

So who will first enjoy this blessing?

[My bartizan]
With this blessing, you build your personal bartizan.

[Platform, watchtower, antenna]
Then a platform will naturally emerge. Remnants—don’t be deceived. As you enjoy this, you will see where to go. God will likely guide you. And others will come to life—because there is light. The watchtower shines the light. Those who meet you will come to know God’s grace. That’s the antenna.

To our remnants abroad—if there’s no church nearby, hold worship right where you are. As you worship, many around you with spiritual problems will begin to speak. There are many living just to survive. They will come to you.

Many remnants live thoughtlessly. They don’t even worship. When a problem explodes, they finally look—but where will they go? They’ll come to you. Help them. That’s called a regional church.

2) The three preparations
1) One nation
You must align your direction with God. Pray for one nation to be saved.

2) One region
Pray for one region to be saved.

3) The family-making movement
Disciples will arise. This is what we called the “family-making movement” this week. You must do it.

Even if you don’t immediately see the answer, that’s fine. Even if nothing seems to happen—it’s okay. Because the direction is right. The content is correct. Even if you never receive answers your whole life—at least be on the right path. This is the path. People are perishing.

Satan’s 12 strategies have been working from the beginning until now.

▣ Conclusion

Here is what I do every day.

[Three concentrations]
I do the three concentrations without any burden. There’s no pressure. If you open your eyes and find yourself in heaven, no need to pray. But if you open your eyes and it’s not heaven—then pray. That’s enough. You came to meet God—this is all about confirming the blessing. Facing a problem? Don’t let it drag on past 5 minutes. The answer will come. These three things are my daily three concentrations.

[Every hour]
There’s something I do every hour—moment by moment.

Concentrated breathing—because we must live.
Concentrated prayer—in each moment.
And at every moment, at least 5 minutes of exercise. Five minutes. Must do it.
Spending hours at the gym? That may work for some, but not for me. Hiking? Great for some, but not sustainable for me. Running in underwear? Not for me. I do 5 minutes each hour. It revives my body. Prayer revives my spirit. Even just 5 minutes—my brain is revived. That’s what I do every hour. Try it.

[Every case]
Every case—I practice acceptance. Everyone has their own perspective, so I accept it. People say what they want—I accept. Even wrong people speak as if they’re right—I accept.

But if I accept everything blindly, I become a trash bin. So I transcend.
Do I live alone if I transcend? No. I give answers—answers so joyful they bring peace.

This is what I do every day.

The Future of Remnants

2025.07.12 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
The Evangelist’s Life and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (28)
– Model 24 of the 3 Courtyards –「」
Scripture Reading: Ac 19:8

This is a message about the future of the remnant. Overestimating oneself is a disorder, and underestimating oneself is also a disorder. To excessively underestimate yourself is depression; to excessively overestimate yourself is bipolar disorder.

▣ Introduction – Standard
We must truly understand ourselves through prayer—but the question is, what is the standard? In my case, the blessing I received early on through prayer was that I had a clear standard about what kind of church to start. I had a standard that the church needed to reach a certain size. But when I entered Yeongdo, that didn’t happen. However, after many years of yielding and praying, that standard is now gradually being fulfilled. From the beginning, we must receive the answer of knowing our own standard well.

1. Not success – Field healing
For the remnant, the standard is not success. It is what comes after that—field healing. That’s the standard. “I must succeed”? Of course success is included, but that’s not the core.

2. Not fame – Leader (comforter) to kings
The standard for the remnant is not fame. Fame may come, but that’s not the standard or goal. Remnants comforted kings. Put harshly, they became leaders to kings. But saying they were “leaders” sounds proud—it’s more accurate to say they became comforters. They comforted kings in their greatest struggles. That’s the standard. To rise to fame? That’s not the standard. If you hold that as your standard, you’ll end up running errands for the world—badly.

3. Not honor – World evangelization
The standard for the remnant is not honor. It is world evangelization. That must be your standard.

▣ Main point – 237 and 5000
So your standard must align with this. Your studies, work, job, and business must align with the 237 nations. And you must be prepared to enter the 5000 tribes. Therefore, we must look at the movements that have brought us to this point.

1) Deuteronomy 6:4–9
This is the final gathering in the wilderness. Imprint this. The three feasts. The ark of the covenant. Centered on the tabernacle. These three things—imprint them fully. Lead the people into that.

2) 1 Samuel 7:1–15
This is the Mizpah movement. There are three things we must not miss here. Who is to blame for what happened to us? It’s not about blame. Is it the Philistines’ fault? No. If you think that way, you’ll spend your life enslaved to the Philistines. Samuel gathered all the people. Something important emerged there: the blood sacrifice. Others won’t understand. Many pastors dismiss it. They say, “We all know the gospel.” But do they really? Does the Darakbang movement preach a different gospel? No. The difference is this—don’t take the gospel lightly. The gospel is not so worthless that we bury everything else for it. We do not weaken the gospel to save everything else. Especially if you weaken the gospel while making things harder for others—that’s even worse. In the end, the blood sacrifice was offered, and the Philistines were struck down. “There was peace.” There’s no other way—if you don’t know, you will be defeated.

3) 2 Kings 6:8–24
This is the Dothan movement. This is what leads to 237 world evangelization. Here, evangelism disciples who were doing 24, 25, and eternity had gathered. God sent the heavenly army to them. And what happened there? They won without fighting. This is the future of the remnant.

4) Isaiah 62:6–12
Fourth, what is it? All of this was given to the remnant. The goal. The standard for the future. “I have appointed you as a watchman.” That’s right. “Build up the highway.” The great road. I respect the leaders of the democratization movement, but they made one big mistake. They said, “Don’t build highways.” That was foolish. They said, “President Park is building highways just to go on trips.” That was nonsense. He was building something far greater. After Korea built highways, the nation developed greatly. In the past, eating raw fish in Daegu could kill you. Now, you can eat it in Daegu and be fine, thanks to the highways. The highway must be built for cars to go. That’s how the army moves. And what else? “Lift up a banner for all nations.” That’s truly important.

5) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
Finally, Paul risked his life to enter the synagogue. Just teach the five aspects of Christ:
– Christ who was with God before eternity. This is crucial.
– Christ who came in the flesh.
– Christ who resurrected.
– Christ who will come again as Lord.
– Christ who will return not secretly, but as the reigning Lord and Judge.

Remnants, we are not saying the things of the world are all wrong. But you must receive the true strength that comes from God. That’s the Sabbath. That’s worship. That’s Sunday. That is the three-day weekend age. It’s absolute. I’m deeply concerned—without this, your posterity will surely suffer.

The true answer is here (Acts 19:8): the throne. God’s kingdom. The work of God’s kingdom. This is what must be known.

▣ Conclusion
[Daily prayer]
Draw the picture of daily prayer comfortably. Peacefully. Then, the three concentrations will happen naturally. Then the three settings will naturally form. Then, you’ll go forward with the three answers in advance. You must do this.

[Hourly prayer]
I not only do daily prayer but also hourly prayer. That means at least every 2 hours—or at least every hour—I recover my body and my brain through breathing, prayer, and exercise.

[Prayer for every event]
Every event must have an answer. Every event must be met with prayer for an answer. You should receive the answer to every problem within 5 minutes. Even before going to bed, joy will arise. “Ah, I see!” You were facing a problem? Yes. Facing death? Yes, but you’re joyful? Daniel prayed with thanksgiving. Why? Because something had been discovered. If it’s been discovered, then you can give thanks. How could you say, “Thank You” when your father dies from an injury? Of course not. That comes after. You must discover it. Don’t fall asleep without discovery.

These three things are the secret to restoring your root. Pastors must teach this. Practice it yourselves. You must do this. You need strength. To be honest, you don’t have helpers. The congregation is watching you. If you are shaken, the congregation loses strength. So naturally—daily prayer, hourly prayer, prayer for every event. How much prayer is enough? There’s no specific amount. Just do these three.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We give glory to the God who has raised up precious servants. We believe that You will give special grace to these servants who were raised for the sake of the gospel alone. Protect them until the day of world evangelization is fulfilled. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

 

Becoming Family with the 237–5000 Remnants

2025.07.12 Business Missions
The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (28)
– Bartizan 24 of the 3-day Weekend Age –
Scripture Reading: Ex 2:1-10

The greatest thanksgiving is that finally, remnants are beginning to succeed everywhere. Now that churches are finding stability and remnants are succeeding, pastors and missionaries are gaining strength, and seeing this fills me with gratitude.

One remnant became a pastor and went to the United States, but there was no church building. So, they began holding services in another church’s yard. Then it rained, and the pastor was allowed to use that church building. The pastor and his wife are truly wonderful. They were moved by our remnant pastor’s sermon and decided to give him their church. They even legally transferred the deed. That would never happen in Korea. That’s the kind of meeting I was led to attend. That pastoral couple would sit in the choir seats. Naturally, they came to greet me. But before they did, I had heard something about them. They were musically gifted, and the pastor’s wife said today’s hymn, “Lord, in My Life,” was so moving. So when I met them, I told them, “I’m the one who wrote that song.” Their eyes widened, and they were deeply moved. There are so many things to be thankful for—our remnants are rising.

Also, today’s presider, Pastor Lee Daha, has a beautiful wife, Kim Kyung-ae. She was even in Miss Seoul. Honestly, I thought to myself, “How did she choose that face?” But as time passed, I realized I was wrong. Seeing him preside today, he looked quite handsome.

So, as I see it, hopeful young remnants are rising among the ones you have nurtured. People like Park Soo-hyun, Park Dae-yong, Kim Ik-joo, and Lee Daha—these are the people you raised, and now they’re rising properly. That shows the efforts of our forebears weren’t in vain. We are beginning to see true fruit. So I’m thankful. And I’m truly grateful to the pastors and elders who have stood firm and carried out the gospel movement.

“Serving the 237–5000 Remnant Family”
Today, what we must absolutely hold onto is the remnant among the 237 nations and 5000 tribes. This is not just a phrase. Most children don’t know, but our country lived through very difficult times. Back then, I only knew a few countries—America, England, maybe Japan—just the basics. But at that time, I learned about the country of Sweden. Because Korea was in such hardship, Sweden helped raise talented children by making them part of their families. Of course, the Korean government handled the administrative work. They called it “Yangchinhoe” because they were becoming foster parents. I was connected with one Swedish parent. Help was given through the administration, and when I wrote letters, they took care of it and sent them. That’s the kind of time Korea went through.

Now, even U.S. President Trump has said Korea is a powerful nation and should pay more for defense. So we need to repay the debt. Among those 5000 tribes, there are nations on the brink of death. We must act. It may seem like a small matter, but it’s not. Who was it that sent me tuition money? I don’t know. They simply knew Korea had problems and decided to help a child with their studies. I was one of those who received that help.

Also, in Australia, a few people gathered to start a church, which became our Ilshin Church. That’s where I met the church. Can you say that was a small matter? Today, you’re worshiping here. Businesspeople are rising to serve the church—that is by no means a small thing.

▣ Introduction – [Family]
So, becoming family—this is a very important word. Sometimes people become sworn brothers or adoptive parents. It may seem unserious, but to important people, it was a serious matter. For someone significant to adopt an important future generation as a son—that’s no small thing. Pastor Kim Jang-hwan was raised after being adopted from a shoeshine boy. Even the Apostle Paul said “my son.”

When our excellent remnants succeed, it’s only natural to hear them say, “My pastor is my father.” Right? Elders, when you grow old and look at the outstanding next generation, you should be able to say, “He’s my son.”

Paul even used that word—“my relative”—even when they weren’t relatives. “My mother”—even though she wasn’t his mother. To Timothy, he said, “My son.” To Titus, “My true son.” These expressions about family aren’t just about blood relations.

Starting today, all businesspeople must see remnants and pastors as your family. Right? I am convinced that without this, we can’t truly live a life of faith.

Our former church had a lot of talk going around. But one thing about my mother stood out—she treated all ministers like family. One evangelist was so grateful that he called my mother “older sister.” Even after many years away from church, we kept in touch and exchanged letters. He eventually became a pastor in a region near Daegu. I went to that region for a meeting. He was much older by then and joyfully embraced me. It was different. He called out to his wife, “Honey, come here!” pointing at me. That meant he had married and settled down there.

In the same way, businesspeople and church leaders must consider the pastor they serve as family. If a son commits murder, do you cast him out? No, because he’s family, you protect him. That’s not to say his sin is acceptable. Right? If a grandson makes a mistake, do you throw him out? No matter how wrong he is, you bring him in and embrace him. That’s family.

This is how Paul ministered, and you can see the fruit of that spirit.

(Exodus 2:1–10)
This covenant was delivered to Moses.

1) Three people
Three family members played a crucial role.

1) Jochebed
His mother, Jochebed, used a family strategy to protect Moses.

2) Egyptian princess
At that time, God worked—an Egyptian princess adopted Moses as her son.

3) Jethro
Jethro, the priest, took Moses as his son-in-law. What an amazing beginning.

2) Absolute bartizan – Resolution
What did they see at that time? The absolute bartizan. That’s what led them to make their decision. They didn’t decide blindly. “Even if I can’t raise this child, I’ll send him to the palace.” “Though I shouldn’t help this man, I’ll take him as my son-in-law.” That’s not an ordinary decision. These are resolutions made after seeing God’s absolute bartizan.

3) Historical
It’s not too late even now. Because of this, God gave the most lasting answer in history.

1) Blood – Ten miracles
The blood sacrifice, ten miracles, and Exodus were monumental events.

2) Three feasts
Teaching them the three feasts meant revealing all truth. Many don’t keep them properly. That’s why I preached on the Feast of Weeks last week—its fulfillment must be kept correctly.

3) Ark of the covenant
It’s not the ark that’s important—it’s the covenant. Why do we gather for worship? It’s about the message that sprouts from a dead branch—Aaron, the dead branch, the pastor. Even he must understand. We’re worse than dead branches. Yet God gives life through us. Through what? His Word. That’s what’s in there. So it’s overwhelming.

4) Centered on the tabernacle
And what else? All the people were to center their lives around the tabernacle. No East, West, North, South—every door faced the tabernacle. That’s enough. If you can say, “I lived because of Sunday worship, the three courtyards, and the three-day weekend age,” then you have succeeded centered on the tabernacle. Anything less is mere social service. Not bad—but it’s dedication to the world, not bad either. I’m not saying it’s wrong.

▣ Main point
This is the main point.

Exodus 2:1–10
Look at Exodus 2:1–10. You see three things: absolute impossibility. It was a royal decree. The king ordered all babies to be killed. We think it’s wrong, but from their perspective, it made sense. “Israel is getting stronger. Kill them in advance. They might destroy Egypt. We must stop them.” That’s an accurate observation. I think Pharaoh was smart—he saw correctly. It was absolute impossibility. That royal order couldn’t be disobeyed.

There, Jochebed saw the absolute bartizan. “There’s only one way to save him—send him to the palace.” And what happened? Absolute preparation arose—this is absolute possibility. God’s plan was not death. So Moses went as an adopted son. Many adoptees in America and Europe listening to this message—discover something new. Many are wounded, but you’ve misunderstood. Don’t be misled.

Exodus 3:1–20
Then, Moses was called at age 80. God’s Word will surely be fulfilled. At that time, slaves could not survive. It was impossible. But at that moment, he saw the absolute journey and the guidepost. That was God’s absolute journey. Though it seemed impossible, he saw absolute possibility. It was clearly proven.

Exodus 5:1–12:46
Clear evidence was revealed—they exited Egypt. Pharaoh represented absolute impossibility. His ambition wasn’t even ambition—it was fixed. No one could change Pharaoh’s mind: “Do not release Israel. Never let their descendants live.” That was his political view. “If we release Israel, we lose our labor force. If they join forces with others, they’ll attack us. Keep them as slaves. Just make sure they don’t have children.” That was Pharaoh’s sharp political strategy. No one could change it.

But God made a promise to Moses. “I will strike Pharaoh with a mighty hand.” That was the sign. From then on, ten miracles occurred, yet Pharaoh never truly realized. He only acted out of fear. Even after Israel left, he pursued them again. It ended on the day of the blood sacrifice.

This (main point) must be shared with the whole world.

▣ Conclusion
So in conclusion, though all the covenants God gave Moses are important, the most important is the Word. Moses received many covenants. But the Word is paramount.

1) Problem – Answer (Genesis)
Where is the solution to our unsolvable problems? In Genesis.

2) Liberation (Exodus)
Our problem isn’t just Exodus. True liberation is from darkness. That’s the real Exodus. This (introduction) explains that—because people misunderstand.

3) Wilderness (Leviticus)
What gives power in the wilderness? The three feasts, worship. That’s Leviticus. You must have power in worship. Without it, nothing else matters. Those of you attending this core training and Sunday worship must show proof. Create masterpieces.

4) Timetable (Region) – (Numbers)
Eventually, what is it? What is the timetable for entering Canaan? What is the timetable for answers? That’s the key. When do we enter? When the 12 regions are identified. When the 12 tribes are established. When the 12 tribes are prepared. That’s when God opens the doors. Right? Some say it took 40 years and so on—but the conclusion is this. Unless your region and country are confirmed, you’re living by a temporary timetable. It’s not fake—but it’s temporary. Your life isn’t the real thing yet. When your church, region, and nation are confirmed—that’s when your real life begins.

5) Previous (Deuteronomy)
Lastly, what is it? Doing many things is good. But what came before is more important. It’s important for remnants to go out into the world—but what came before is key. Imprint the works of God thus far. Then you’ll take root on the field. It becomes your nature, and you’ll carry out world evangelization. What’s above the timetable (Numbers) is Deuteronomy.

Truly, truly, God has given a perfect message. I bless you to begin anew in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the solution to all problems, the boundless love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be upon all businesspeople who will save the world, from now and forevermore. Amen.

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You

Joyful, joyful, we adore You,

Hearts unfold like flow’rs before You,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!

All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heav’n reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!

Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.

Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God’s own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Hymn
Alas! and Did My Savior Bleed
Isaac Watts

Alas, and did my Savior bleed?
And did my Sovereign die?
Would He devote that sacred head
For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where
I first saw the light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away,
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day!

Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree?
Amazing pity! Grace unknown!
And love beyond degree!   Chorus

Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut His glories in,
When Christ, the mighty Maker, died
For man, His creature’s sin.   Chorus

But drops of grief can ne’er repay
The debt of love I owe;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
’Tis all that I can do.   Chorus

Scripture Reading
1 Samuel 17:31-37
Jerica Saunders

What David said was overheard and reported to Saul, and Saul sent for him.

32 David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”

33 Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”

34 But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, 35 I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. 36 Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. 37 The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”

Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”

David Easily Overcame Goliath
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Full Transcript

▣ Introduction
– The reason we hold the World Remnant Conference (WRC) – Preparation for 300% Power.
– If a believer does not enjoy or proclaim God’s power, it becomes the gravest crime.
1. After holding to the covenant – prepare for 300% power
“They were greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.”
2. Remnants who prepared with 300%
xx1) Joseph – He gave his 300% where he was.
xx2) Moses – He prepared 100% with the covenant, 100% in the field, and 100% with prayer in Midian.
xx3) Samuel – Not a single word of Samuel fell to the ground (100%). The war ceased (100%). Those who saw Samuel served the Lord (100%).
3. Timetable – enjoyment, waiting, and challenge
The time will surely come. David enjoyed and waited. When the timetable came, he challenged.

▣ Main Point: How do we receive this power?
1. Before going out to the world – establish your personal absolute bartizan.
xx1) He entered deeply into the Word and composed psalms. Do not miss the message (Psalms 78:70-72).
xx2) He was a person of praise to the extent that evil spirits departed (1 Samuel 16:23).
xx3) He had the skill not to lose even one sheep (1 Samuel 17:34-35).
xx4) Through Samuel, David received the future and the sure covenant—this became a bartizan of power (1 Samuel 16:13).

2. On that day – take the bartizan to save the field (the power to overcome darkness).
xx1) Goliath insulted God (1 Samuel 17:1-16).
xx2) Jesse’s errand education – you must enable the remnant to see God’s power (1 Samuel 17:17-22).
xx3) David knew the reason why he had to fight Goliath (1 Samuel 17:23-29).
xx4) “He will deliver me from the hand of the one who insults the Lord” (1 Samuel 17:31-37).
xx5) To overcome Goliath, there was no need for armor (1 Samuel 17:38-40).
xx6) David went forth in the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:41-47).
xx7) David defeated Goliath (1 Samuel 17:48-58) – You must train the remnant with the power to overcome darkness.

3. Take hold of the future bartizan that God has prepared.
xx1) David overcame suffering (Psalms 23:1-6).
xx2) The one thousand bartizans.
xx3) Preparing the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant.

▣ Conclusion
1. David’s faith was always the same – in his childhood, adolescence, youth, kingship, and old age.
2. Resolution – I will enjoy the timetable of the throne and establish that bartizan.
…1) Abraham, who began to build the altar.
…2) Isaac, after the incident on Mount Moriah – He received the blessing of a hundredfold, the fountainhead, and the blessing of Rehoboth.
…3) Ezekiel – “The Lord can do it.” “Prophesy to the Word. Prophesy to the breath.”
…4) Jeremiah (Jeremiah 33:1-3) – “Call to Me and I will show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”
…5) The evangelist’s resolution – Since I have no power, I will pray with the covenant of 24, 25, and eternity.

Hymn
People of the Covenant
Lee Jang-Hee

Even though I am very weak
God is perfect, God is complete
And though time and again I may fall
He will raise me up again

We’re the people of His Covenant
He is forever with us
Our God works in our lives through His Spirit
In every step we take

No one can ever block the Word of Life
No one can cast aside the Word of God
The gospel of our Lord will be fulfilled
In the name of Jesus Christ

The gospel will be proclaimed
We’re the people of His Covenant
Proclaimed to the very ends of the earth
In every step we take

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

Jesus Christ, the Life-Giving Spirit

1 Corinthians 15:45-49. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

Jesus declared the purpose of His coming to the world: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full” (John 10:10). He is not merely a teacher or a prophet—He is the life-giving Spirit (1 Corinthians 15:45). In Him is life, and that life is the light of men (John 1:4). He declared, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6).

It was this very Jesus who, in the beginning, formed the first man, Adam, from the dust of the ground. He breathed into Adam’s nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being (Genesis 2:7), created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27), and entrusted with the authority over all creation (Genesis 1:28).

However, when Adam was deceived by the devil and fell into sin, he became flesh—separated from the Spirit of the Triune God. From that moment, all his descendants were born into a state of spiritual death, bearing the image of the earthly man and bound to the limitations and temptations of the flesh. As Scripture reveals, all were born dead in transgressions and sins, living under the dominion of the prince of darkness (Ephesians 2:1).

This is the result of falling short of the glory of God through the original sin instigated by Satan (Romans 3:23). Humanity has gone astray; each person has turned to their own way (Isaiah 53:6). Cut off from God’s presence, people came under the ownership, influence, and control of the spirit of Satan, trapped in the background of hell.

As a consequence, people have walked according to “the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). Their hearts and minds have been darkened; their understanding clouded, leaving them unable to discern God’s will (2 Thessalonians 2:11–12). In their desperate search for meaning, people turn to religion, rituals, philosophy, traditions, and even superstitions—hoping to escape death and hell.

But all these human efforts—no matter how sincere or noble—are powerless to bring salvation. They may change external behaviors, but they cannot restore the broken relationship with God. There is nothing in this world good enough to return mankind to the glory of God.

Today’s Word reveals the only way: Jesus is the spiritual man, the One from heaven. When a person believes in Him, they are no longer natural but become spiritual. They are born again—not of the flesh, but of heaven. They begin to bear His image and are set free from the grip of sin, death, and Satan. That is your true identity in Christ.

Receive Jesus, the life-giving Spirit, into your life. When you have life, you have everything. This is not merely the restoration of morality or behavior—it is the miracle of a new creation: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!” (2 Corinthians 5:17).

In Christ, you are no longer bound by the patterns of this world or the failures of your past. You now live by a new nature, empowered by the Holy Spirit, filled with heavenly wisdom, and guided by eternal purpose. The life of Christ within you revives what was dead, heals what was broken, and secures what was lost. You are no longer a slave to fear, guilt, or darkness—you are a child of God, walking in His light and destined for His glory.

So, do not be discouraged by anything in life. The One who is the resurrection and the life lives within you (John 11:25). He is leading your life by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. He strengthens you to overcome every trial and makes you more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). The resurrected Christ in you is complete, victorious, and sufficient. Trust in the power of His resurrection at work in you.

Prayer. Father, thank You for sending Jesus Christ, the life-giving Spirit, who has resolved every problem of my past, present, and future. Let me experience the fullness of salvation in every circumstance. Use my life as a testimony to the nations, proclaiming the grace and kindness You have poured out upon me in Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Courtyard of the Summit and the Eternal Answer

08.18.24 District Message
Scripture Reading: John 21:15-18

▣ Introduction
There’s an old story: a couple, married for just a week, were found dead in their car on the roadside. It made the news. Both had died from gunshot wounds, but it wasn’t a suicide—the gun wasn’t found near the scene. Much later, the killer was caught. It turned out to be a hunting accident gone wrong. The man had gotten into an argument while driving—one of those typical roadside confrontations. Words were exchanged, windows rolled down, and in a moment of uncontrollable rage, the hunter grabbed his gun and shot them. He confessed, filled with regret, unable to explain his actions. He wasn’t ignorant of right and wrong; he simply couldn’t control his fury. And in that rage, he destroyed lives—including his own.

Why share this story? Because you need three essential kinds of strength to live in this world.

1. Spiritual nutrition (immune system) – [Courtyard of prayer (healing)]
Spiritual strength begins with spiritual nutrition. Though invisible, it is vitally important. You need this strength during prayer, worship, and even in your thoughts throughout the day. Scripture commands us to establish a courtyard of prayer, because this courtyard is the courtyard of healing.

(Immune system)
Do you remember Yoo Byung-eun? His body was found in the mountains. There was debate—was it murder? Was he killed? But the medical experts knew the truth immediately: he died from hypothermia. When your body temperature drops, your immune system collapses. That’s why children must be warned when hiking—if they lose their way, their temperature drops. It’s not drowning that kills people in water—it’s the drop in body temperature. A fall of just 3 degrees can be fatal.

In the same way, when your spiritual “temperature” drops, your spiritual immunity weakens. Some people handle problems with ease; others fall into panic. That’s the difference. When hardships come, some remain calm, while others collapse emotionally or mentally. Life constantly brings noise, conflict, and chaos—those without spiritual strength are overwhelmed. Even family life becomes difficult without this strength. That’s why you must always receive strength through the courtyard of prayer.

2. Foreigners – [Courtyard of the Gentiles]
What if you moved to a foreign country? What if you had to live there permanently? The anxiety would be immense. You’d be tense all the time. Now think—what is it like for foreigners living in Korea? If you understand their fear and unease, you can truly help them.

God commands in Scripture: Build a courtyard of the Gentiles. The Word of God is perfect. In the church, establish both the courtyard of prayer for healing and the courtyard of the Gentiles so foreigners can live again.

3. Children – [Courtyard of children]
And God commands us to care for children. Scripture speaks clearly about these three courtyards. Children must study, grow, and one day find their calling—some may go into work or business. They must be prepared. That’s what the courtyard of children is for. God gave precise revelation when He commanded the construction of the temple.

What do you think? Shouldn’t we establish these three courtyards in our church? Traditional evangelism through handing out tracts is fine, but it’s a low-level approach. If something is prepared well, people will come naturally. A good restaurant doesn’t need flyers—just one taste convinces customers to return and bring others. In the same way, spiritual ministry must be solid. You must gain this strength through prayer.

When children are taught to pray, they begin to learn three things:

[Only]
They discover what it means to hold to “only.” This is what Jesus emphasized—through prayer, they realize the “only” Christ.

[Uniqueness]
Others begin to notice the uniqueness in them. Your children begin to realize the unique blessings God has given them.

[Re-creation]
Eventually, they begin to bring life to others. This is the blessing of re-creation.

300%
Put another way: we must prepare them with 300% strength. If we fail to prepare our children, they may grow up with uncertainty, suffering under others’ control. This is not about micromanaging their lives—it’s about not letting them fall into spiritual slavery, like the descendants of Israel who became captives due to their parents’ disobedience. This is how we stop that cycle. This blessing is incredibly important.

Even today, you need to receive this (spiritual nutrition) first. We all come from the world’s pressures, carrying concerns and burdens. Even with friends or family, we still need deeper spiritual comfort. We need strength.

“Courtyard of the Summit – Eternity”
This is what we call the courtyard of the summit. It is where remnants are raised as summits. And the answer given here is for eternity. That’s what the Bible teaches.

(John 21:15–18)
In John 21, Jesus told Peter the same command three times: “Feed my lambs.” Even as He was on His way to the cross, He said, “Do not weep for me; weep for your children.” These are powerful words. Because God blesses this work, all you need to do is pray. No major preparations needed—just prayer.

– Imprint
Imprint this blessing on your children. Even if answers don’t come right away, that’s okay.

(Brain, soul, eternity)
Imprints form first in the brain. That’s why what children see and hear while growing up is so important. What is imprinted in the brain rarely disappears. That’s why we must not scar children—they don’t forget. The only solution is this: “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you…” Only Christ. Nothing else can heal it. And it doesn’t stop at the brain. Because we have souls, the imprint goes deeper—into the soul—and eventually connects to eternity.

Body
What appears as a physical or emotional problem is actually just the outward sign of what has been imprinted in the brain, soul, and spirit. That’s why worship is so important. Teaching your children the Word of God is crucial. Teaching them to pray is crucial. Because it becomes imprinted in their brain, soul, and spirit—and connects to eternity.

▣ Main message

1. Parents – Church leaders
Now to the main point: the role of parents and church leaders is crucial. Let’s look at a few examples:

1) Exodus 2:1–20
When her child’s life was threatened, Jochebed made a bold decision: “There’s only one way—send him into Pharaoh’s palace.” What faith! She sent Moses with the covenant imprinted in him—and that changed the world. She must have poured messages and prayers into him while nursing him. A mother’s prayer may look small, but it has world-changing power. Your prayer is that important.

2) 1 Samuel 1:9–11
Hannah’s prayer gave birth to the prophet Samuel. You know what happened.

3) 1 Kings 18:1–15
Obadiah, a faithful church leader, protected one hundred prophets. The number isn’t the point—his devotion was. That act turned into the Dothan movement, and later a global work that blocked the Arameans.

4) Daniel 1:8–9
Daniel held Isaiah’s words in his heart. While others ignored the message, Daniel embraced it—and God used him to influence Babylon. That is the power of the Word and of prayer.

5) Acts 2:10
At the Mark’s Upper Room, there were pilgrims from Rome. I believe Priscilla and Aquila were among them. They later transformed Rome. Maybe you can’t relate right away—but your one prayer can do the same.

2. Jesus’ promise
Why is this courtyard of the summit important? Because it’s the promise of Christ—God’s promise.

1) John 2:12–25
When Jesus saw the temple missing these three courtyards, He became angry and cleansed it with a whip. A church that lacks these courtyards is not a true church. See the blessings that followed. Even now, we are unknowingly entering into incredible grace.

Herod’s temple lacked the courtyard of prayer, courtyard of the Gentiles, and courtyard of children. They had turned it into a marketplace—for animal sales and currency exchange. Bringing outside animals was discouraged. Instead, people were forced to buy from the temple system, run by Annas and Caiaphas. That’s why Jesus drove them out. They even changed money specifically for the temple tax—right in the children’s courtyard. Jesus knew this—and that’s why He became angry. If you understand this, you will certainly receive answers.

2) Luke 23:28
While carrying the cross, Jesus told the weeping women, “Do not weep for me. Weep for your children.” Even while ascending Golgotha, He was thinking of the next generation.

3) John 21:15–18
Again, Jesus told Peter: “Feed my lambs. Take care of my sheep.” This is Christ’s promise.

3. Ministers (Paul)
God entrusted this work to the ministers. Many failed, but Paul was different. God used him powerfully. This is something all ministers must understand.

1) Synagogues
Paul always went to the synagogues because children were there.

2) Rome
Eventually, Paul went to Rome to save the next generation of the world. That’s why he had to go there.

Even recently, some children came from Oceania. It was their first time on a plane, their first time overseas, and their first time seeing something like this. We invited them to show them something real. It’s said that even a president cried. That’s what true leadership looks like. Many visitors were determined to raise their own children properly after seeing this.

3) Romans 16:25–27
More than that, Paul revealed what had been hidden for ages. The mystery of the gospel.

So today, as you pray, be spiritually aware. We need strength to save other nations and our own future generations. Even if you don’t travel abroad, you can save the foreigners already among us. Hold firmly to the covenant.

Someone once asked me, “What should we do for multiethnic people?” My response? Don’t ask—just act. In Busan, I said, “Let’s eat lunch together with the multiethnic group.” Nothing complicated—just weekly fellowship. Get to know them. Let them open their hearts. Let them say, “This church is better than home. God must have brought us to Korea for a reason.” That’s what they must feel.

▣ Conclusion – The Word

God’s Word will surely be fulfilled. Jesus said, “Not a single stroke or letter will disappear until all is accomplished.” When faced with a crisis, Isaiah said, “The Word of the Lord endures forever.” In a way, not even God can stop it, because it is His Word.

God is all-powerful, but there’s one thing He cannot do: lie. What humans do best, God cannot do. We lie easily. Someone asks, “Pastor, did you eat?” And even if we didn’t, we say, “Yes, I did,” just to be polite. That’s not a harmful lie—it’s kindness. But God cannot lie.

May today be the greatest day for you in Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, thank You for giving us the opportunity and blessing. May today be a day when we gain spiritual strength. Help us pass on this blessing to our future generations and to the multiethnic next generation. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, we pray, Amen.

Who Does Scripture Say Jesus Is?

Philippians 2:6. Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage.

To know the Word is to know Jesus Himself. As John writes, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He [Jesus] was with God in the beginning” (John 1:1–2).

Jesus is not merely a historical figure who appeared 2,000 years ago—He is the eternal God, existing from before the creation of the world. He is the Creator and the source of all life: “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind” (John 1:3–4). Nothing is impossible for Him, for He is life itself.

This eternal God—the Son—laid aside His heavenly glory and came to dwell among us in human form (Philippians 2:6). As John also testifies, “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).

Jesus came to be with us. He came to deliver us from the grip of Satan, the curse of sin, and the background of hell. His coming was not merely symbolic or moral—it was redemptive. Jesus died on the cross for our sins and rose again from the dead, conquering the grave and shattering the power of darkness that once held us captive. By His resurrection, He broke the chains of sin, death, and Satan, making a way for all who believe to His kingdom of light.

Now ascended to the right hand of God, Jesus reigns as Lord and Christ. Yet He has not left us alone—He is with us always through the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit. Through the Spirit, He empowers His saints with strength, guidance, and victory—enabling us to overcome the world, resist the devil, and advance His kingdom.

And He will come again. When the gospel has been proclaimed to every nation, tribe, and language, then Jesus will return in power and glory as the righteous Judge of all. He will bring justice to the nations, reward His people, and cast down every force of evil once and for all.

Tragically, the Jewish people of Jesus’ day failed to recognize Him. They longed for a Messiah who would deliver them from Roman occupation and restore national glory. But when Jesus, the true Son of God, came proclaiming a kingdom not of this world, they rejected Him.

They were outraged when Jesus said, “Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad” (John 8:56). To them, Jesus was just a carpenter’s son from Nazareth, not the fulfillment of God’s eternal covenant with Abraham. They missed the very One in whom their forefather had placed his hope and faith. Even today, many consider Jesus to be merely one of many influential historical figures. But to think this way is to remain in spiritual darkness. Without truly knowing Jesus, one cannot know the truth.

Throughout His earthly ministry, Jesus openly declared His divine nature: “My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one” (John 10:29–30). Because of this bold claim, the religious leaders tried to stone Him and eventually crucified Him. Such is the blinding power of spiritual ignorance. Behind this blindness works the devil, masquerading as “an angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:14).

As His earthly ministry drew to a close, Jesus revealed even more clearly His oneness with the Father: “Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father… Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work. Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.” (John 14:9–11).

To know Jesus is to know God. To call on the name of Jesus is to invoke the very name of God. When you pray in the name of Jesus, God answers for the sake of His Son’s name—the name of the Christ. By this name, all things are possible. Jesus said, “While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me.” (John 17:12).

That same name has now been given to you. This is why the devil cannot harm you. His name opens every door. His name breaks every chain. Nothing saves, protects, or empowers like the name of Jesus. Without the authority of His name, no one can overcome the power of Satan, sin, or hell: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). So, hold fast to His name.

The mystery of Christ has been hidden from the wise and proud, but God has now revealed His Son to you who believe that Jesus is the Christ. Scripture testifies to all these truths. So, stand firm upon the unshakable foundation of God’s Word. Do not be led astray by the hollow and deceptive philosophies of this world (Colossians 2:8). Instead, keep meeting with God through His Word. He still confirms His presence by fulfilling His Word in your life.

Jesus continues to carry out the work of the Christ—overcoming the curses of Satan, sin, and hell. And the Holy Spirit is working powerfully in you and through you. This is the mystery of the Triune God dwelling within you, made possible through Christ.

Prayer. Father, open my eyes to see the mystery of Christ revealed in Your Word. Let me know Jesus as the living Word, the eternal God, and the Savior of my soul. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Courtyard of Healing and the Eternal Answer

24.08.11 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 13:4-15

Originally, there were three courtyards in the temple. God gave a revelation, and it was a very important one. The courtyard of the Gentiles (foreigners), the courtyard of healing (prayer), and the courtyard of children (remnants). There was a courtyard so that foreigners from other nations could come. A courtyard where Gentiles could dwell. Then there was also a separate courtyard for children. And most importantly, there was the courtyard for prayer and healing. These three courtyards existed. So, in other words, foreigners were coming. This (healing courtyard) was where one could pray. And this was the courtyard where children and remnants came.

But what you need to know is that even though the church received this revelation and followed it, the church eventually lost hold of it. Since they didn’t understand it, it ended up being empty. So what happened? During Jesus’ time, people sacrificed animals in the temple by shedding their blood. In order to do that, they needed clean animals. The Jews took advantage of this by requiring the animals to be inspected. So people had to pay an inspection fee. And whenever possible, animals bought from outside were disqualified: “This won’t do.” As they kept doing this, it turned into a commercial scheme. Then they started selling the animals inside the temple courtyard. If you bought those, you were accepted. It became corrupt. And when purchasing all those animals, you couldn’t just pay with regular money. The temple had its own currency. That’s what the Jews used back then. So people had to exchange their money. And of course, there were commission fees for the exchange. So what do you think happened? During the festivals, many people came. And where were all the animal inspections, animal sales, and money exchanges happening? They all took place right here—in these three courtyards. Do you understand now? That’s why Jesus got angry and drove them out, swinging a whip.

So in reality, these three courtyards have not been restored to this day. That’s why we must restore them. This time, including the presidents of several countries, around 200 foreign children came. We expect many more to come next year. And they will be sent to each church. Will these three things (the courtyards) be coming to your church and to the temple currently being built in Changwon? It’s not just a building. All of you who participate will receive blessings. Of course, there are many people involved in construction, but they, too, will be blessed.

Long ago, the mayor of Yeongdo once told me, “Pastor, it seems our Yeongdo is receiving blessings because of your church.” At first, I thought it was just a polite remark, but he actually understood something. He said, “People from all over the world are gathering here.” And it’s true.

There are blessings that we receive knowingly and those we receive unknowingly. What we receive unknowingly is called grace. You and the people working on this temple project have already received grace. You did it without knowing, but it was a blessing. You must remember this: These three courtyards are coming. When God gave His revelation, He commanded that these be placed around the temple—inside it. Not just the main sanctuary, but these three courtyards were to be there. It’s truly something to be thankful for.

Healing courtyard and the eternal answer

Among the three, today we are looking at the message regarding this one—the courtyard of healing. This is not just an answer—it is an eternal answer. As we proceed with temple construction, many sick people must come and be helped. So, if possible, doctors, nurses, and other medical professionals should take an interest in this healing ministry. That will give it a more refined and medical approach.

[Past | Treatment | Future]

Why is this necessary? Doctors treat patients today. Isn’t that right? They take scans, diagnose pain, and so on. But many doctors can’t take responsibility for what happened in the past. Yet the illness came from the past. But what doctors do is only this (treatment). They can’t go beyond that. Doctors are already busy treating the present; how could they deal with someone’s past? But what’s more important is the future. Can a doctor who is already busy running a hospital be responsible for someone’s future? No. That’s why the church must be able to provide this (past, treatment, and future)—in the healing courtyard.

▣ Introduction – True healing: the church

So this “true healing” is the reason the church must exist. This is what makes a church proper. A proper church must allow people to receive healing. If that’s not happening, it is not a proper church. But what kind of healing are we talking about? That’s what you need to see carefully.

▣ Main message

1. Blessing of Eden
God originally gave the blessing of Eden. This is the original blessing. The church helps people realize this.

2. Healing of darkness
Next, many people are living in darkness without knowing it. The church must bring healing by shining light in that darkness.

3. Healing of the field
Only then can we help those suffering in their homes, workplaces, and in the field.

1. Blessing of Eden
1) Genesis 1:27
The blessing of Eden means that only humans were created to believe in God. That’s what it means to be human. “Created in the image of God.” No matter how smart a dog is, it cannot believe in God. Have you seen a dog offering worship? No matter how intelligent, it can’t. Only humans can worship. So when someone offers the wrong kind of worship, that’s called idolatry. It’s wrong. God told people to believe in Him, but they end up bowing to stones. They make something and then bow to it. That’s not it. This is a very important point.

2) Genesis 2:7
God breathed into humans strength—true strength, the breath of life. We must restore this. How important is that?

3) Genesis 2:18
And He blessed humans so they could live happily in Eden. We must restore that. People don’t realize how important humans are. “People can just live.” Do people live by food alone?

2. Healing of darkness
Not knowing this, people fall into darkness. Where did they fall?

1) Genesis 3:4–5
Satan came and tempted them, and they fell. That’s Genesis 3:4–5. The devil came and said, “Don’t listen to God. Don’t believe in Him. Believe in yourself.” It sounds right. But they were deceived. We often hear things like, “Don’t trust God. Trust your fists.” There used to be people like that. But eventually, they fall into Satan’s grip. That’s how all the shamans and occultists appeared in the world.

2) Genesis 6:4–5
This is the Nephilim incident. People thought, “We can live well without believing in God.” And powerful nations rose up. But they were all destroyed in disasters.

3) Genesis 11:1–8
Then they said, “Let’s build the Tower of Babel.” Let’s unite our strength. That’s how humans are. But it collapsed. Today, you must beware of powerful nations like the U.S., China, and European countries. They’re always building towers and preparing for war—even without saying so. China and the U.S. keep thinking about war: “We must become the number one superpower.” They’re constantly at it.

When North Korea launches missiles, the U.S. places THAAD systems to intercept them. But China objects. Why? Because the U.S. can now observe everything in China too. China doesn’t like that. They say, “Don’t look at us.” They don’t say it directly, but they mean, “Stop it.” The U.S. plays dumb and says, “We’re placing it here to intercept incoming missiles.” This is the kind of ongoing conflict. It’s always been that way. And so the whole world has been plunged into darkness. Nothing but the gospel can heal this. If a king truly believed in God, how could he try to kill others?

3. Healing of the field

Now it’s reached the field. So we must heal the field.

1) Acts 13:5–12
Paul went into the field and found a town completely consumed by shamanism. And he brought about change.

2) Acts 16:16–18
Most people go to fortune-tellers because they’re anxious. But it turns out the fortune-teller was possessed by a demon. People unknowingly go to hear the words of demons. That’s why they get more and more troubled. Paul went and brought healing. He reached the field.

3) Acts 19:8–20
Now, various incurable diseases are arising. Even if we cure cancer, another disease will come. Incurable illnesses keep appearing. In the past, people died from tuberculosis. Not anymore. Back then, people died from AIDS. Now, they don’t. Medical science has advanced. The time will come when even cancer isn’t deadly. But new diseases will keep appearing. Paul went into this scene and healed through the power of God’s Word. That is the church’s mission.

▣ Conclusion – [Disease]

If you’re already suffering from illness, what should you do? There are three things:

1. Invisible spiritual strength (7·7·7)
First is the unseen—the spiritual strength. You must gain that strength. We know this: the bartizan, journey, and guidepost God gives. The church must help people gain this strength.

2. Five elements
Second, for visible physical illnesses like cancer, five things are essential:
(1) Listen carefully to what the doctor says.
(2) Find the foods that help with healing.
(3) Engage in healing physical activities.
(4) Learn proper breathing—it heals. I once noticed during a summit between President Moon Jae-in and Kim Jong-un that something was wrong. I suspected an illness just by watching how Kim Jong-un breathed while speaking. Later, it showed on his face and body. That’s how I knew. Breathing is powerful. You can live or die based on how you breathe. You can heal.
(5) Prayer. The church must teach all five. Cancer patients can be helped. It’s not difficult. These five things: exercise, doctor’s instructions, food—anyone can try them. In short, it all comes down to breathing and prayer. That’s the conclusion. I’ve practiced breathing prayer for 37 years. I’m currently a registered member of Asan Medical Center. The hospital said I’m the healthiest among all their members. Probably true.

If you know prayer correctly, you can gain great strength and healing. The church must be able to help in this area—not just healing disease but fulfilling this (main message). It’s tremendous.

3. Future
And then the future. We must help people prepare for spiritual battles. And help them understand eternity. We need to teach them what will happen when they grow old. If you don’t know this mystery, you’ll suffer more as you age. You won’t be able to say it, but serious difficulties will come.

That’s why we must gain spiritual strength and build a temple where people around the world who are suffering can also gain strength. A temple may be a building, but this (the message) is the true content. So today, don’t let your mind wander during Sunday worship. At least today, pray properly. That way, every week you can have time to gain real spiritual power.

Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May we gain spiritual strength today as we spend this entire day in prayer. Heal our diseases. Let this be a time where Your light shines upon all our works. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.
