The Restoration God Desires

Matthew 18:18-20. “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. 19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”


When you are facing crises in life, it may be God’s invitation to stop, turn your heart toward Him, and restore worship—simply enjoying His presence and listening to His Word. When you feel isolated or weary on your covenant journey, it may be time to recover the blessing of the church, where God has promised to dwell and work with power.

When the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness, God did not first give them strategies to survive the desert. Instead, He commanded them to bring offerings for the construction of the Tabernacle (Exodus 25:1–7), saying, “Then have them make a sanctuary for me, and I will dwell among them” (Exodus 25:8).

God’s priority was His presence. Once His presence was restored at the center, the wilderness could no longer define their lives. The same is true for us. When the reality of God’s presence is restored, the place no longer matters. Even in the wilderness, you rise above circumstances and begin to discover the hidden blessings God has prepared. That is the power of worship.

The same pattern appeared during Israel’s captivity. Through the prophet Haggai, God called His people to rebuild His house (Haggai 1:1–11), and with that command came an astounding promise: “I will once more shake the heavens and the earth… I will fill this house with glory… The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house… And in this place I will grant peace” (Haggai 2:6–9). Restoration of God’s house always leads to restoration of peace, direction, and glory, regardless of outward conditions.

Nothing is more urgent than restoring the covenant in your life. No matter where you are or what you are facing, return to the gospel—your true home. In the gospel, you find freedom from fear, clarity in confusion, and peace that the world cannot give. When Christ came, He promised that His church would be unstoppable, declaring that the gates of hell would not overcome it (Matthew 16:18). Before He ascended, He entrusted this church with the mission to reach all nations (Matthew 28:16–20).

When believers lose sight of the blessing of Christ’s church, they drift into religion and idolatry. The result is an age filled with darkness, spiritual disease, and repeated calamities. But the church God desires exists to set people free from their fundamental spiritual problems by the power of the gospel. This is not one mission among many; it is the only mission God has given His church.

What, then, is the church? Scripture says, “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells among you?” (1 Corinthians 3:16). You are the church. You have been set apart for God’s work, prepared long before you were born. The Counselor, the Holy Spirit, lives in you and will be with you forever, empowering you to carry the gospel to the ends of the earth. Wherever you go, the church goes with you, because the Spirit of God goes with you.

When even two or three gather in the name of Jesus, He Himself is present among them (Matthew 18:20). In that moment, the church is established, and when that church prays in His name, the throne of the Triune God moves. Find someone who understands this mystery, and you will witness the living church of God being built—a church against which the power of hell cannot prevail.

Scripture gives us a clear picture of the kind of church God delights in: “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42). When the church holds firmly to the Word, lives in genuine fellowship, continually remembers and experiences the power of Christ’s death and resurrection, and devotes itself to prayer, God works in ways that transform lives and communities.

Pray for your church to be equipped by the power of the gospel—to heal those suffering from spiritual wounds, to break curses that run through family lines, and to block the disasters that afflict nations and the world. Remember that we are the church. Each of us is connected to Christ, the source of life. Let us live with that life, proclaim that life, and even stake our lives for the sake of the gospel so that others may be saved.

By the power of the Holy Spirit, God will call people out of darkness and bring them into His kingdom of light. Never forget that God’s power does not depend on numbers but on His covenant. As He promised, “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time, I will do this swiftly” (Isaiah 60:22).


Prayer. Father, establish Your church wherever I go today. Let Your presence dwell with me, and may the glory of Your church be revealed through my life to the ends of the earth. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Abiding in Christ

John 15:1-7. I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.


In Today’s Word, Jesus spoke to His disciples with full awareness of the reality unfolding before them—the coming destruction of Jerusalem, the eventual fall of the Roman Empire, and the turmoil that would mark the last days. Knowing the crises His followers would face, Jesus did not offer strategies rooted in human wisdom. Instead, He revealed the only way to stand firm when everything else shakes: remain in Him.

He first addressed the fear gripping their hearts. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me” (John 14:1). Jesus shifted their focus from visible circumstances to an unchanging relationship. He assured them that their future was secure in the Father’s house. Even His departure was not abandonment but preparation, for He promised to return and bring them into eternal fellowship with Him (John 14:1–3).

Then Jesus revealed the decisive reason they would not be left defenseless. The Father would send the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, who would teach them all things, remind them of His words, and give them a peace the world could never offer (John 14:26–27). This peace was not the absence of trouble but the presence of God. Where the Spirit is present, the kingdom of God is active, heaven’s resources are released, and the power of Satan is broken. This is why believers do not need to fear even in the face of storms.

Jesus then brought everything into focus with a simple but profound truth: “I am the vine; you are the branches” (John 15:5). He did not describe a religious system or a moral code. He revealed a relationship rooted in life itself. Just as a branch cannot survive apart from the vine, we cannot live apart from Christ. Christianity is not moral adjustment; it is union with the living Christ.

This union is the reason believers have true life. Jesus came so that we might have life to the full (John 10:10), and this life is not found anywhere else. God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son; whoever has the Son has life (1 John 5:11–12). Because this relationship is based on God’s initiative and power, nothing can sever it—not failure, weakness, suffering, or even death. Paul was fully convinced that nothing in all creation could separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord (Romans 8:38–39).

Remaining in Christ does not mean trying harder; it means trusting deeper. When storms arise and fear threatens to overwhelm us, we remember that even the wind and waves obey His voice (Mark 4:39). As long as we remain in Him, peace is not something we seek—it is something we experience.

Fruit is the natural result of remaining in Christ. A branch does not struggle to bear fruit; it simply stays connected. In the same way, when we abide in Christ through His Word, walk in obedience, and depend on the Holy Spirit, fruit inevitably appears. Our lives become spiritually productive, stable, and fruitful, like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither (Psalm 1:3).

The most precious fruit God produces through us is people whose lives are transformed by the gospel. Paul called those he led to Christ his hope, joy, and crown (1 Thessalonians 2:19). This fruit is eternal and will testify to God’s grace long after our earthly lives end (Ephesians 2:7).

Remaining in Christ happens as we treasure His Word, allow it to dwell richly in our hearts, and let it shape our thoughts, decisions, and prayers. It happens as we recognize our identity and authority in Christ and rely on the power of the Holy Spirit rather than our own strength. When God’s primary concern becomes our concern, our prayers align with His will, and Jesus promises that whatever we ask in His name will be done (John 15:7).

A life that remains in Christ is a life lived by the gospel, through the gospel, and for the gospel. Such a life cannot be shaken by anything because it is anchored in eternal reality.


Prayer. Father, thank You for uniting me with Christ, the true Vine. Heal my spirit, mind, and body through Your Spirit. Teach me to remain in Christ in every circumstance, and strengthen me to bear lasting fruit for Your kingdom. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Eternal Covenant

Prayer Journal: January 12, 2026
06. Apr. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 37:1-9


▣ Introduction: The Wilderness Way Prepare Everything for the Conquest of Canaan and World Evangelization

The World Missions Conference is approaching. We must ask: What should we do? What must we deliver to them? What kind of answers must we receive? Since this is the work once carried out by the Antioch Church, it is profoundly important.

Currently, Israel is traveling through the wilderness for 40 years. The reason is that God is preparing everything . No matter how much human effort is exerted, the Exodus was God’s will, the conquest of Canaan is God’s will, and world evangelization through Canaan is God’s will. We must prepare this covenant for the Missions Conference.

To those worshipping via video across the world, especially those in difficult situations without a pastor: do not merely listen to my sermon, but confirm the Word of God .

1. The Wilderness Way

1) A Dangerous and Difficult Place
The wilderness is dangerous and taxing. There are natural crises, cold nights, scorching days, and the threat of enemy tribes.

2) A Place Covered in Spiritual Darkness
More importantly, the wilderness is covered in invisible spiritual darkness. It is where the terrifying bartizans of Satan stand. Satan uses traps, frames, and snares to drive people into suffering. Missionaries in remote areas know this reality—it is a place covered in “dark politics” and spiritual oppression that one must pass through.

3) Israel’s Unbelief
The most frightening thing is not the environment, but Israel’s unbelief . Even though they were guaranteed to enter Canaan, they grew weary because of their surroundings. Despite God promising His power, they fell into unbelief due to their own weakness and human conflicts.

2. Follow the Ark of the Covenant

The instruction is clear: make the Ark of the Covenant and follow it . This means following the Word . If you miss this covenant, you will only hear the voices of those dying in unbelief. You must follow the evidence and the Word.

On the Lord’s day, do not talk much about people; that makes worship meaningless. Imprint the Word. Satan knows he cannot steal your salvation, so he tries to steal your worship . If you fail to imprint the Word during the weekly sermon, the worship becomes fruitless.

3. God’s Covenant is Often Different from Our Thoughts

Do not be deceived; you must go with the “Evidence of Only.”

The Promise: When Adam sinned, God promised the “Offspring of the woman,” and when Cain sinned, He provided a way of escape. These may seem like “nonsensical” solutions to the worldly mind, but they are the only evidence.
The Process: Joseph, Moses, and David held the covenant for world evangelization, yet they faced continuous suffering and were fugitives for half their lives. However, they were not deceived.
True Success: True success is world evangelization. Graduating from a top university or getting a high-paying job is not success if you cannot do world evangelization. Egypt and Babylon were not “successful” in God’s eyes. You must go with the evidence of “Only Christ.”

▣ Main: The Evidence You Must Hold

1. Cherish Eternal Things

Cherish what is eternal, not the fleeting things of man.

The Ark of the Covenant (v. 1): Made of acacia wood overlaid with gold, signifying things that do not rot.
The Tablets: The unchanging Word of God engraved in stone.
Aaron’s Budded Staff: A reminder that life buds through worship and the Word.
The Jar of Manna: Evidence that God provides even in the face of death.

Imprint, Root, and Nature: Don’t just listen; make the current flow of the Word your nature. Like Rockefeller’s mother told him: “Don’t listen to the words of men in church; go an hour early to pray; hold the Word all week.” He built 24 universities and 2,000 churches because of this.
Deliver to the Future Generation: The Ark had rings and poles so it could be carried (v. 2-5). This means the covenant must move and be delivered to your children.

2. Follow the Covenant Centered on the Gospel, Evangelism, and Missions

Gospel-Centered (v. 6): The “Atonement Cover” is the center. If you miss the Gospel, you will close your doors like the churches in Europe and America. Look at the content of God’s letter, not just the “grammar.”
Evangelism-Centered: You must save the people. The Ark was designed to be portable (v. 2-5) because it was meant to move toward the people.
Missions-Centered: These three centers are the only ones God will fulfill. If you try to revive a church through “strange methods,” it will become a problem. Hold onto this and pray all day.

3. What You Must Surely Enjoy

The Most Holy Place (v. 8-9): Enjoy the power of the Throne, the Ark, and the cherubim (angels) that fulfill the Kingdom of God.
The Holy Place: The Laver for cleansing, the Altar of Incense for the fragrance of Christ, the Lampstand for the light of Christ, and the Table of Shewbread for the bread of life. Also, the Altar of sacrifice that blocks disasters.
Outside the Temple: Establish the Courtyard of Healing (Prayer), the Courtyard of the Gentiles (237 nations), and the Courtyard of the Children (Future generation).

> Without spiritual strength, our children are powerless. I heard of a successful person from a wealthy family who almost died because their parents only pushed for academic success without giving them spiritual strength. They fell into a mental crisis and panic attacks, but were saved only when the Word of God (the Gospel Letter) finally reached them in the hospital. Human ability has a limit; it cannot block spiritual problems.

▣ Conclusion

God has “removed” three things, and for good reason:

1. The Ark of the Covenant: No one knows where it is. If it still existed, people would worship the object rather than the Covenant. Hold the Covenant , not the box.
2. The Original Manuscripts of the Bible: God removed the originals so we wouldn’t idolize the paper. Instead, we must hold onto the living Word and the Gospel.
3. The Physical Temple: The Herod Temple was destroyed. Jesus prophesied this. God doesn’t want an “idol temple”; He wants the recovery of the Church , the recovery of the Three Courtyards, and the era of Friday-Saturday-Sunday.

This blessing will be delivered to our posterity, the multi-ethnic groups, and the 5,000 tribes. If this is true, you will receive three blessings:

In Advance: You receive it early because we lack strength.
In Your Industry and Life: It will manifest in your daily work.
Eternal Evidence: What was hidden before the ages began is now being revealed and will last forever.

I bless you to have a day of hearing God’s Word. May those struggling with church conflicts find peace in the Word.

Prayer. Lord, we believe Your promised covenant will be fulfilled in Your people and delivered to the next generation. Let it reach the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes so that the culture of darkness is bound. Heal the spiritual pandemics of this age. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Light of Creation

2026.01.11 District Message 2nd Week
Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:1-3


Your True Identity (Matthew 5:13-16, John 1:11-12, 1 Peter 2:9)

Many people ask, “How should I evangelize?” However, there is something far more important than the “how.” You must know who you are . Because you are saved, you are the light of the world . You have received Christ, who came as the light. 1 Peter 2:9 clearly states that you were called to manifest this light.

To put it accurately, if you understand prayer, your very existence is what matters. Joseph didn’t “evangelize” Potiphar with words; Joseph was the light, and Potiphar saw it and realized the truth. This is the part most people miss. Even the darkness (demons) recognizes this immediately. Darkness fears the light. If you simply stop being deceived and hold onto this, every door will open.

「The Light of Creation」 (Genesis 1:1-3)

This refers to the very light God used when He created the heavens and the earth. You must believe this.

▣ Introduction

1. Darkness
Darkness is destined to flee. It cannot overcome the light. You don’t even need to fight it.

Genesis 1:2: In the beginning, there was chaos, emptiness, and darkness.
Isaiah 60:2: Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples. That is why God says, “Arise, shine!”
Satan’s 12 Strategies: This darkness is the trap of Satan’s 12 strategies. All you need to do is believe and let the light shine.

2. The Nature of the Light

Genesis 1:3: It is the Light of Creation .
Isaiah 60:1: It is the Light of Glory . The glory of the Lord rises upon you.
John 1:11: This is the light that Christ came to shine.
Matthew 5:14: You are the light of the world.
1 Peter 2:9: You were called to declare His wonderful light.

3. Experience – [Ananias] + [Paul]
When you shine this light, you experience God’s work. Ananias possessed this light. Because he was a church officer holding the light, God sent Paul to him. This is what we call evangelism.

▣ Main

1. The Bartizan of Light Within Me
The first thing you must do is establish the Bartizan of Light within yourself. This means believing and welcoming it.

The Bartizan of the Throne: Establish this through prayer.
The Journey of the Throne: This light accompanies you on your journey.
The Guidepost of the Throne: The direction is already within you.

> People who find religious life difficult are usually those not praying. Instead of worrying after you wake up, enter into prayer. The difference is heaven and earth.

2. The Temple of Light
Next, a Temple of Light is formed. This refers to both the church building and your role:

237 nations & 5,000 tribes: Since this is the Light of Creation, your prayers here can reach across the world.
Healing: This light brings creative healing.
Posterity (Remnants): This light saves the next generation.

3. The Economy of Light
From this point, the “Economy of Light” emerges.

Offerings: Your devotion to the church is the economy of light.
Missions: Funds that save nations.
Remnants (RT): The economy specifically for the future generation.

▣ Conclusion: The Camp of Light

Your life is a Camp of Light . Whether you are sitting here or getting married, it is all a camp to shine the light.

1. The Gentiles (Unbelievers): Light comes upon them through your camp.
2. The Sick: The light shines continuously for healing.
3. The Synagogue (Field): This is why they went into the synagogues—to save the Remnants.

Final Warning:
Don’t be deceived by your circumstances. Whether you are sick, struggling, or in a good place, you are a child of light. Darkness must flee wherever you go. Look at the recent dark events in countries like Cambodia (human trafficking, scams). These happen because the light is absent and leaders are in darkness.

Remnants, remember: until you make your skills 300% , you must be diligent. If you cannot reach that 300% level, it is hard to even make a living, let alone do missions. You must stay ahead.

Prayer. Lord, grant us grace throughout this entire day. Give us new strength. May all darkness be bound and driven out from our surroundings. Let all unbelief crumble. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Go To the Land I Will Show You

2026.01.11 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3


▣ Introduction
Thank you. In 1988, when I began my work, I realized two things here. If this Yeongdo coastline is developed well, it can become one of the best cities in the world. If you go to the Thames River in England, there is honestly not much to see, yet crowds still gather there. So I thought, “Ah, Yeongdo can truly become a top city.” And because I knew what needed to be done, I went around looking for a large piece of land. I found one very good land, but they said it was not for sale. When I asked why, they said the Yeongdo District Office would be built there. Now it is built. In my view, that is the best location. The second land I found is this land. So, I believe construction will finally begin this year. This land contains long prayers. It will become the best sanctuary. I sincerely bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that you receive great strength in prayer this year.

Since it is also the beginning of the year, District Chief Kim Gi-jae attended our worship today. I bless him in the name of Jesus Christ that the blessing of the throne that God gives will be upon him. I pray he will become a district chief who truly makes Yeongdo the best city. If it were me, I would develop the entire coastline into parks so that people from the world would come. The conditions are so good. The work of world evangelization in Yeongdo is already going alluch as far as the 5,000 tribes.

Today you must receive one important answer and go back with it. In a short Bible passage, God gave Abraham five blessings. You must know the reason. Receiving blessings is important, but knowing the reason is even more important.

There is one thing that the advanced nations—the United States, Europe, and Japan—never talk about. They cannot talk about it. They absolutely never mention it. Even though there are many problems, they never speak. Because I know this, that is why I go there to do that work. Do you know what it is? In the advanced nations—America, Japan, and Europe—there are countless people with mental disorders. Their leaders never talk about it. In some houses, everyone in the household has mental illness. There are many such homes in Japan, Europe, and America. But amazingly, the reason and the answer are in the Bible. Abraham knew that. Before he knew it, he wavered. After he knew it, he became the forefather of faith.

When I saw this in the Bible, I came to this area. There was no land at all. Since it seemed impossible, I tried to buy the Taejongdae Hotel, but it turned out to be a place with many issues, so I could not. Then I found this place, like a factory area.

What on earth is the problem? You must know this. Why are sick people rising all over the world? Why are shootings and explosions happening here and there? Abraham knew that. From that point, history began to move.

1. Three incidents that are still happening exactly the same today

Before asking what blessings we will receive, there are three reasons. There are three incidents still happening exactly the same today. They are still happening now. Even the words are the same. I was shocked again and again.

1) The incident of Eden – “Don’t believe God. You will become like God” (New Age movement)

The first of the three incidents is the incident of Eden. What did it say? “Don’t believe God. You will become like God.” You know what the New Age movement in America is, right? “You will become like God.” It is the same. “You will become Buddha.” It is the same. “Find the king within you.” It sounds like a good phrase, but this is the New Age movement in America.

2) The Flood of Noah – demon-possessed warriors (spiritism of Freemasonry)

The second incident is the Flood of Noah. At that time, great satanic forces and demon-possessed warriors began to rise. It is the same today. Freemasonry that moves many leaders in America—do you know it? It is a spiritism movement, even now.

3) The Tower of Babel – a rebellion against God that collapsed

The third incident is the Tower of Babel. “Let us challenge God,” so they built it up, and it collapsed.

These three incidents continue even now. Even now. “We don’t need God. I must build my power. Let’s unite.” It is the same. “Problems? We don’t need God.” It is the same.

2. The age of Nephilim

Because of this, what came next? The full age of Nephilim arrived.

1) Nephilim – people empowered by a fallen entity from above

You know the word Nephilim, right? It refers to people empowered by something that “fell” from above.

2) Shamans, Freemasonry, gut rituals, superstition

In Korea, it is shamans. In America, Freemasons gather and do it daily. In underdeveloped nations, they do gut rituals and superstition. It is all the same. That is how the age of Nephilim came.

3) Nephilim disease

People truly do not know. “Why did that famous singer commit suicide?” They do not know because they do not know Nephilim. They cannot endure—something has entered. And then it goes to the children. Why do people commit suicide in the military? It is nonsense. Nephilim. People feel offended, but it is true. When someone with spiritual problems goes to drugs in America, they cannot quit. Because of these three incidents, the age of Nephilim came. It is the same even now.

3. The age of disasters

Then at the end, what came? The age of disasters came.

1) “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house” – come out of the origin of curses and the destiny of disasters

God told Abraham: “You must come out of there.” Come out of the origin of curses. Come out of the destiny that will receive disasters.

2) “Go to the land I will show you… all nations will be blessed through you” – go to save the nations

And go to save all nations. “I will be with you.”

3) With the power of the throne, power that transcends time and space, and unprecedented power

“I will give you power. I will be with you by the power of the throne. I will be with you with power that transcends time and space. I will be with you with unprecedented power.” I truly believe this. That is why I entered Yeongdo. Now people are evangelizing across the world.

Today you must hold the covenant. God told Abraham to go out. “Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s house” does not mean simply moving houses. It means leave the origin of disaster and curses—the place where disaster will come. “Go to the land I will show you.” “All nations will be blessed through you.” Tell the nations.

When COVID spread in Korea, advanced nations developed the medicine, right? They must sell it to the world or give it—otherwise everyone would die from COVID. If they hoarded it, that would be disaster.

This life-healing medicine was given to Abraham.
When pain, suffering, and disasters cover people, we must not keep our mouths shut. This tremendous medicine that heals life was given to Abraham. You must be able to see this. No success can solve this problem. Nephilim rises and mental illness fills the nations, yet advanced countries cannot solve it. That is why you often see it among entertainers, people in special occupations, and people with “spiritual sensitivity.” As it becomes disease, there is no way to live. You must know. “Come out of there and quickly go to save the world.” You must obtain that answer today.

The Bible’s answer

That is why the answer is in the Bible.

1. Because of original sin—leaving God—Nephilim disasters came.
2. The solution is Christ.
The Old Testament says, “I will send Christ.” The New Testament says, “Christ has come.”

(1) The King who broke the power of Satan
(2) The true Priest who removes all curses
(3) The true Prophet who opens the way to meet God
The word combining all of these is “Christ.” It is tremendous. Today you must truly realize it.

3. That is why we evangelize.
“Oh, so that is why we evangelize.” You must realize it. “To grow the church”? That is not it. We must proclaim the gospel.

▣ Main  Five blessings

Once Abraham realized, five blessings came.

1. Covenantal blessing – “Go to the land I will show you.”

First: go to the land I will show you. The covenantal blessing. What covenant?

1. Genesis 3:15 – the offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.
2. Genesis 6:14 – if you enter the ark, you live.
3. Exodus 3:18 – go offer a blood sacrifice.
4. Isaiah 7:14 – a virgin will conceive and bear a son; his name will be Immanuel.

Go to the place where that covenant will be fulfilled.
Go to where that covenant will be fulfilled—the covenant given to your forefathers.

2. Fundamental blessing – “You will be a source of blessing.”

Second: you will be a source of blessing. Fundamental blessing. Why? Because we must do world evangelization and save people.

1. Genesis 1:27 – restore God’s image.
2. Genesis 1:28 – restore the blessing to subdue and rule.
3. Genesis 2:7 – restore the breath of life, that power.
4. Genesis 2:1–18 – restore Eden and the family.

3. Representative blessing – “Through you…”

Third: through you. Representative blessing. This is not strange. You must be blessed to save others. You must have strength to save your neighbor.

Receive the blessing that flowed through Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Joseph.

4. Monumental blessing – “Through your seed…”

Fourth: through your seed. Monumental blessing. God gave Isaac at age 100.

1. Isaac experienced the ram instead of death on Mount Moriah.
2. The blessing of 100 years—one year’s harvest became 100 years’ blessing.
3. The spring source, not just restoring old wells.
4. Rehoboth—victory without fighting, receiving a wide land.

This is a monumental blessing for your posterity.

5. Irresistible blessing – “I will bless those who bless you…”

Fifth: an irresistible blessing. “I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.”

Because we must do world evangelization, you will be blessing; you will be the source of blessing.

▣ Conclusion_ Decision

1. Does the covenant not match me?

The covenant God gives must be believed. Abraham initially could not believe. He thought, “It doesn’t seem necessary.” Is it not the same for us? “I’m busy surviving.” “God’s covenant doesn’t match me.” That is exactly the Bible. It looks impossible—yet that is why we must believe.

2. Go all the way down to the bottom and find the answer there.

Do not inflate things. Go down completely to the bottom and find the answer there. The answer is all there.

3. The answer is in what is most impossible.

Where it seems most impossible—that is where the answer is. I found answers through my father’s death, through poverty, through “what didn’t work.” You must find it there. Abraham missed this at first and suffered greatly.

God blessed Abraham with five blessings for that one reason. Hold the covenant and imprint it through all-day prayer. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let us restore the correct gospel. Let us know the reason. Let this be the day we realize why You blessed Abraham. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Raise the Altar That Saves the World

2026.01.11 Sunday 2nd Service
237 Missions Dept. Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Genesis 13:14-18


God’s very first message to Abraham was world evangelization. However, because he failed to realize this, he faced several hardships. Finally, he came to a realization and began to build an altar to save the world. You, too, must establish this altar. When Abraham built this altar, he completely understood his unbelief.

▣ Introduction

You shouldn’t just believe blindly. Abraham realized three things.

1. Absolute Impossibility
First, he realized that while God spoke, it was “impossible” for him. He could barely feed himself, yet God told him to save all nations. He realized:

The Word: God gave the Word to go to a land He would show. It didn’t seem to fit.
The Situation: Abraham’s current situation was difficult.
The Condition: God promised his descendants would do world evangelization, but the actual conditions weren’t met. Looking at the “old lady” (Sarah) in his house, he thought it was impossible. He brought his nephew Lot out of this doubt, but then he realized—God had given this part to him.

2. Leave
He realized the second point: “Leave your country, your kindred, and your father’s house.”

[The Origin of Disasters]: That place was the origin of disasters. He had to leave.
Satan’s Trap: Satan had already dug traps through three events: Eden (Gen 3), the Nephilim/Flood (Gen 6), and the Tower of Babel (Gen 11).
Satan’s Frame: As the Nephilim era came, Satan created the frames of the world.
Satan’s Snare: Thus, all humans fell into the 12 life-problems (snares) of Satan.

3. Material Things
Finally, he realized the issue of material possessions. He thought he “needed” these things.

Survival: He thought he needed them just to survive.
Future: He thought he needed possessions to carry out the world evangelization God commanded.
The Nephew: That is why he relied on his nephew. When material issues arise, people’s true essence is revealed. If giving offerings is your greatest joy, you will receive economic blessings. Israel is the nation that gives the most offerings, and they have seized the global economy. Through scheduled prayer, they pray the most and have taken all the world’s wisdom. Abraham made a resolution regarding these three things and yielded to his nephew. He caught hold of what was certain: “You choose first, and I will take what remains.”

▣ Main

After Lot left, Abraham began to build an altar. What kind of altar was this?

1. The Altar to Change Imprints, Roots, and Nature
He began to change the things that had been imprinted in him.

Destiny: His destiny was completely overturned.
Status: He recovered the status of God being with him.
Authority: He built an altar to recover the authority where “no one shall be able to stand against you.” You must do this. Your imprints, roots, and nature must change. Even your lifestyle and habits must change to align with God’s power.

2. The Altar that Saw Answers in Advance
After his resolution, God gave answers first.

What he looked at (v.14): “Lift up your eyes and look… northward, southward, eastward, and westward.”
Where he walked (v.17): “Walk through the land in the length and breadth of it.”
The Posterity: God promised to give this to him and his descendants forever.

3. The Altar of the Throne
Almost all powerful people in the Bible practiced scheduled prayer. You must build the altar of the Throne.

Morning Time – [Power of Recovery]: Do not miss the New Year’s message. Obtain the power to fully recover in the morning.
Recover the 5 Powers: Especially for new believers.
Enjoy the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost: Daily enjoyment leads to the Absolute Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost.
The Message: See the message that recovers everything. Use the morning to recover your brain and your lungs through deep breathing. Remnants, if you do this even a little, works will arise.

Daytime – [Power to Save]: During the day, you need the power to save while confirming all things.
The 7 Points: This contains everything God has hidden. As you go on the journey, you will meet the people God has hidden (like the meeting of Paul and Priscilla). I am praying for a “special forces unit” to establish 1,000 bartizans. If you find just one disciple in each place, 1,000 disciples will arise.

Night – 300% Work: At night, create a 300% work through re-challenge, re-production, and re-creation.
The Disciples’ Attitude: Don’t wait for help; even if no one helps, you must do it. That is a disciple.
Edit, Plan, and Design: Make this a habit. This is the way to world missions. For those over 60, use the morning to fully recover your health through prayer and breathing. For Remnants, even 5 minutes will bring works. If you have nothing, go to the very bottom and run toward the highest place. At work, don’t do 100%; do 300% so that you “stun” your customers with excellence.

▣ Conclusion

1. Isaac – 100-Year Answer: Because of Abraham, Isaac received a 100-year answer in a single year.
2. The 12 Tribes of Israel: God gave the 12 tribes to look at the world, which Joseph eventually fulfilled.
3. Joseph – 1,000 Years: Joseph went to the nations of the 237 and 5,000 tribes and enjoyed a 1,000-year answer.

This week, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to have a week of healing and power.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May we be renewed every day. Grant our church officers and all members great strength. Let us enjoy the Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost of the Throne every day. In Jesus Christ’s name, we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading
Genesis 1:27-31

So God created mankind in his own image,
    in the image of God he created them;
    male and female he created them.

28 God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground.”

29 Then God said, “I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. 30 And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

31 God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day.

El “Tú” que Dios creó

Servicio de Adoración Regional
11 de enero de 2026
Lectura de la Escritura: Génesis 1:27–31


En 2026, el pacto de Dios se cumplirá de manera aún más realista para ti y para mí. Debes darte cuenta de que ya estamos viviendo en un mundo diferente. Dios ya nos ha dado por adelantado la Palabra acerca de qué tipo de respuesta recibiremos en 2026. Esa Palabra se cumplirá. Por lo tanto, en este nuevo año, creo que será suficiente si tomas solo una resolución correcta. Incondicionalmente, la máxima prioridad de mi vida diaria es la adoración. Creo que con hacer solo esto será suficiente. ¿Por qué?

Segunda de Corintios 10:4–5 habla del bartizan de Satanás. Sin embargo, la Biblia también habla del bartizan de Dios. Está en Proverbios 18:10. Dice que este bartizan de Satanás es una fortaleza fuerte. ¿Qué es una fortaleza fuerte? Es algo que se opone a Dios. Al oponerse a Dios, el corazón se ha vuelto orgulloso. Por lo tanto, surgen muchas teorías humanas. Dice que todos los pensamientos van en la dirección opuesta a Dios. Este es el bartizan de Satanás. Esto está relacionado con la Palabra acerca del estado antes de la caída que examinaremos hoy.

¿Cuál es el bartizan de Dios? El nombre del Señor es torre fuerte; a él corre el justo y está a salvo. El bartizan de Satanás son las teorías y pensamientos del hombre. Pero el bartizan de Dios es el lugar al que el justo debe ir necesariamente. En 2026 iremos a uno de los dos bartizans.

La mayoría de las personas piensan que estarán a salvo si van al bartizan de Satanás. Si entran en este bartizan de Satanás, está lleno de todo tipo de valores mundanos. Piensan que tendrán éxito. Si entran en ese bartizan de Satanás—bueno, ellos mismos no se dan cuenta de que están entrando—albergan la ilusión de que superarán esta economía difícil, ya que la economía actualmente es muy difícil. Así, la mayoría de las personas se dirigirán al bartizan de Satanás aún más que el año pasado.

Aquí es donde surge el conflicto para los cristianos. Saben que deben acercarse a Dios. Pero también sienten que acercarse no sirve de nada. Según su experiencia hasta ahora, no han recibido respuestas. Por mucho que sirvan diligentemente a la iglesia, parece que Dios no les da dinero. Sin embargo, tampoco pueden ir hacia la idolatría. Por eso experimentarán muchos conflictos como estos.

Entonces, ¿qué es lo más importante aquí? ¿Cuál es la máxima prioridad para ti personalmente a lo largo de este año? Solo necesitas colocar la adoración como esa prioridad. Como verás, los incrédulos se entregarán a la idolatría con aún más diligencia. Esas personas pondrán su prioridad en la idolatría. Los que solían ir a templos irán con aún más diligencia. Las tres organizaciones se volverán aún más desenfrenadas. Y los que visitan adivinos o los que adoraban ídolos lo harán con mayor fervor.

Los seres humanos inevitablemente tienen la tendencia de intentar decidir cómo recibirán bendiciones para el año mediante su forma de adoración. Solo los humanos son seres que miran hacia arriba. Por lo tanto, quienes no han conocido a Dios, incondicionalmente se dedicarán a la idolatría con mayor diligencia. Esa es su prioridad de adoración. Lo harán con más sinceridad que nosotros los cristianos. Por eso, si no sé verdaderamente qué es la adoración y no la coloco como mi máxima prioridad, mi vida religiosa se vuelve similar a la idolatría.

¿Hasta qué punto debemos adorar? Hasta el punto de que esté conectada con el trono. Por lo tanto, debes conocer necesariamente ese principio: el principio de la continuidad de la adoración. La adoración no es algo que termina con un solo acto. La adoración está conectada con mi vida. Mi acto de adorar correctamente una vez está conectado con el campo. Esto está conectado con los descendientes. Está relacionado con el futuro.

Es el mismo principio para los incrédulos. Por eso los incrédulos continúan siendo atrapados por el destino. Porque su destino se decide allí. Así, la cuestión es si tu adoración es destino o ídolos. Pero no deberías hacer solo esto; ¿cómo deberías hacerlo? 24. Hasta el punto de que esto se convierta continuamente en tu secreto.

Por lo tanto, he tomado esta resolución para 2026: debo acercarme más al trono. Debo orar de manera más disfrutable, muy cómoda y feliz. Debo hacer más holy meditation en la Palabra. Por eso hoy también fui a un lugar tranquilo y leí la Biblia. Escuché oraciones sobre el bartizan, el journey y el guidepost. Estoy escuchando continuamente y repetidamente el mensaje de Año Nuevo.

Y hay algo que debemos hacer necesariamente. Porque es muy importante, como el Pastor Ryu sigue diciendo, debes estar saludable. Así que sabemos acerca de la Palabra profunda, la oración profunda, la holy meditation profunda y la respiración profunda. Sabemos esto. Pon un poco más de cuidado también en la alimentación profunda y el ejercicio profundo. Eso está muy relacionado con el estado espiritual de una persona. Por lo tanto, los cinco “profundos”: holy meditation profunda, oración profunda, respiración profunda y también alimentación profunda y ejercicio profundo. Espero que en 2026 decidas hacer estas cosas y ponerlas en práctica poco a poco. Puedes hacerlo de manera muy disfrutable. Puedes hacerlo cómodamente.

2026 debe ser el mejor año de nuestras vidas, ¿verdad? Espero que realmente llegues a disfrutar esta bendición. Hacerlo por la mañana, al mediodía y por la noche significa hacerlo 24. Espero que veas cuán importante es nuestro horario actual.

Examinaremos la apariencia del hombre antes de la caída. Dios dijo que Él es el primero y el último. Él es el principio y el fin. Él es el Alfa y la Omega. Además, Dios es de eternidad a eternidad. Esto es algo que Shakyamuni no puede decir. Mahoma nunca puede decir esas palabras. Todas las personas que crearon religiones están fanfarroneando. Pero aunque fanfarroneen, no pueden fanfarronear con esto. Ah, no pueden decir que son el principio y el fin. Todos saben cuándo nacieron.

Verás, actualmente estamos dentro de esto. El Dios en el que creemos es este tipo de Dios. Dentro de esto, las personas crearon religiones. Dentro de esto, las personas crearon ídolos. Ahora, sin embargo, nosotros vamos por el camino del journey dentro de esto. La Palabra de hoy es muy fácil, pero no debes escucharla solo como un ejemplo.
“En el principio”—estas palabras se refieren a ese tiempo antiguo, antes de las edades. Dios creó el cielo y la tierra, y este es el estado antes de la creación del cielo y la tierra. Es caos, vacío y oscuridad. Este es el estado antes de la creación. Por lo tanto, para una persona que no tiene la bendición de la creación, su vida es caos, vacío y oscuridad.

La frase “Dios dijo” significa que Él creó el cielo y la tierra por medio de la Palabra. Luego dice: “Y vio Dios que era bueno”. Esto es una obra. ¿Qué tipo de obra es? Estas palabras, “era bueno a los ojos de Dios”, significan un estado en el que no falta nada y no hay más problemas.

Por lo tanto, este es el cumplimiento de la Palabra. Llegó a ser exactamente como Dios habló. ¿Qué tipo de meta debemos tener? Recibir muchas respuestas es falso. Suena extraño, ¿verdad? “Ah, he recibido muchas bendiciones de Dios”. Desde mi punto de vista, eso es falso. Con ese nivel, nunca podrás hacer la evangelización mundial. Si piensas que no has recibido una respuesta, tampoco puedes hacer la evangelización mundial. Debes llegar al punto en el que no necesitas respuestas. “Para mí, nada es un problema”. Eso es lo que significa “era muy bueno a Sus ojos”. No hay nada más que hacer en esta obra.

Así, Dios creó todas las cosas en el cielo y en la tierra. Entre ellas, la verdadera obra de Dios es la creación del hombre. Dios creó todas las cosas en el cielo y en la tierra por causa del hombre. Aquí dice que lo hizo conforme a la imagen de Dios. Les dijo que fructificaran, se multiplicaran, llenaran y conquistaran. Aquí, la imagen de Dios es Cristo. En cuanto a conquistar, ¿qué se conquista? Se conquista el reino de las tinieblas. Por lo tanto, este es precisamente el Reino de Dios. Cristo es vida. El Reino de Dios es la misión y la tarea dadas por Dios. Cristo es precisamente el Evangelio. Conquistar es evangelización. Estas deben ser las cosas más importantes en nuestras vidas.

La victoria se decide aquí. ¿Se ha encontrado la respuesta en Cristo y en el Reino de Dios o no? ¿Son realmente el Evangelio y la evangelización los valores más grandes de mi vida? Allí reside la verdadera felicidad. Allí hay verdadero valor. Allí hay verdadera satisfacción. Allí hay verdadero significado. Esto es absoluto. Nadie puede quitárnoslo. El mundo no puede imitarlo. El mundo no puede darlo.

Espero que experimentes esto con frecuencia este año. Debes experimentarlo incluso cuando vengan muchas grandes dificultades. La dificultad es solo un cambio breve en el entorno. El fundamento espiritual dentro de mí no cambia. Esta fuente dentro de mí no cambia. Dios creó a los seres humanos como este tipo de ser.

Sin embargo, las personas no son felices. Mira la obra de la creación de Dios. “Y vio Dios que era muy bueno” (Génesis 1:31). Como es la obra de Dios y no del hombre, ¿qué era bueno a Sus ojos? El hombre poseyendo la imagen de Dios. El hombre teniendo vida. Y teniendo una misión. Solo cuando el pacto de Cristo y el Reino de Dios está dentro de mí es “bueno a los ojos de Dios”.

Se supone que debemos conquistar el mundo y salvarlo, pero estamos actuando como esclavos. Hay tantas cosas más importantes para mí que el Evangelio y la evangelización, por lo que no soy feliz. Y estoy arruinando la obra de Dios, la obra de mi vida. Ahora ha llegado tu horario.

Si miras Génesis 2:3, dice que Dios descansó. El verdadero descanso es solo cuando se ha terminado toda la obra. Dios nos creó y descansó. Y en el día de reposo, Dios lo bendijo y lo santificó. El día de reposo es un día bendito y santo. Y porque es el día en que todo fue cumplido, es el día de la consumación. Pero ¿cómo es para nosotros ahora? Cada día es el día de reposo. En ese tiempo, el día de reposo era el sábado.

Pero la ruptura de este descanso es el incidente de Génesis capítulo 3. Jesús lo re-creó. Ese es el día de reposo del espíritu. Ese es el Día del Señor. Se dice que Jesús resucitó el primer día después del día de reposo. El sábado es el día de reposo, pero Él resucitó el domingo por la mañana. Por lo tanto, guardamos el domingo como el Día del Señor, el Día del Señor. Así, ahora podemos distinguir bien entre el día de reposo y el Día del Señor. Si no guardabas el día de reposo en ese entonces, morías. Tenías que no hacer lo que se te dijo que no hicieras en el día de reposo. Sin embargo, el día de reposo se guarda como una ley. ¿Qué es nuestro Señor? Él cumplió la ley. Por lo tanto, con gratitud y emoción, cada día es el día de reposo y cada día es el Día del Señor para nosotros.

Ahora, aquí Dios hizo un contrato muy importante. Eso se llama el pacto del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. Originalmente, Dios tenía un propósito al crear al hombre. Quiere que disfrutemos esto. Para hacer eso, debe haber algún tipo de estándar. Ese es precisamente la ley del Reino de Dios. Dios nos dio los principios de la felicidad que nosotros los humanos debemos guardar verdaderamente.

Sería bueno que utilices esto cuando evangelices. “Dios quiere que seas feliz. Pero ¿sabes por qué no eres feliz ahora?” Mientras dices eso, hablas del pez. El hecho de que un pez debe vivir en el agua es el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal del pez. Un pez no puede ser feliz si sale del agua. Este árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal está en medio del Jardín del Edén. Está en un lugar donde se ve muy claramente. Debe ser así. Colocamos los semáforos exactamente donde se ven claramente. Al mirar el árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal, el hombre debe pensar: “No soy un animal. Soy un ser espiritual con alma. Soy feliz solo cuando encuentro a Dios. Vivo dentro de la gracia de Dios”. No rompas esto.

“Pez, no salgas del agua”. Él dio ese pacto del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal. Esta es precisamente la relación vital con Dios. Es una relación vital y, de hecho, una relación íntima. Satanás rompió esta relación. Para que la relación con Dios no fuera buena. Todos los conflictos en nuestra vida y fe son porque la relación con Dios no es buena. Génesis 2:17 dice que ciertamente morirás. Está absolutamente fijado. La muerte es esa historia.

Por lo tanto, debes decirles eso a los incrédulos cuando evangelices. Incluso si un árbol es arrancado de raíz, no muere inmediatamente. Sin embargo, ciertamente muere. Ya está muerto. En el momento en que es arrancado, ya está muerto. Incluso si un pez sale del agua, vive por unas horas. En el momento en que sale del agua, ya está muerto. Si el hombre se aparta de Dios, el cuerpo permanece vivo. Pero están espiritualmente muertos.

De esta manera, Dios preparó todas las condiciones para la felicidad antes de la caída. Hizo solo una petición: “Llevémonos bien. No coman del árbol del conocimiento del bien y del mal”. El diablo odia eso. Por lo tanto, la próxima semana—hoy hemos visto el estado antes de la caída—examinaremos por qué comenzó la caída. Los problemas de esta tierra comienzan con la caída de esta manera. Esa es precisamente la vida vivida dentro de Génesis capítulo 3. Jesús entró en eso. Desde entonces, somos nuevas criaturas—nueva vida, nueva manera de vivir. Estamos dentro de nueva vida y nueva manera de vivir. Si es así, nuestras vidas son el bartizan, el journey y el guidepost.

Espero que este año se convierta en el año más hermoso y más bendecido para ti.

Oración. Damos gracias por abrir 2026 dentro del pacto de Dios. Por favor, permítenos continuar confirmando y disfrutando esta bendición por la mañana, durante el día y por la noche. Confieso que el Señor es mi bartizan. Ahora, por favor, permítenos recibir la respuesta del bartizan del Reino de Dios. Permítenos comprender bien esta Palabra dada hoy. Sin saber que están pereciendo o muriendo, las personas actualmente se dirigen hacia el bartizan de Satanás. Por favor, permítenos hablar la respuesta correcta y el Evangelio a esas personas. Oro en el nombre de Jesucristo. Amén.

Christ for the Whole Wide World

Christ for the Whole Wide World
Hattie Bell Allen

Christ for the whole wide world!
Our task has just begun,
For millions wait in every land
The message of God’s Son.
Shall they be left in sin,
To die without His Word,
Without the Savior Jesus Christ,
Because they never heard?

We will give, we will pray,
We will witness every day,
That the millions of the whole wide world
May know our Saviour’s love.

Christ for the whole wide world!
His message must be sent
To millions dying in their sin
To call them to repent.
Christ Jesus died to save,
But they can never know
Until we bring our gifts of love
And bid His heralds go!  Refrain

Christ for the whole wide world!
His heralds will proclaim
Salvation for men everywhere
In Jesus’ blessed name.
And we who cannot go
To bear His tidings far
Will pray for those who take the Word
And witness where we are.  Refrain

O Worship the King All-Glorious Above

Hymn
O Worship the King All-Glorious Above
Robert Grant

O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his power and his love:
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days,
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

O tell of his might and sing of his grace,
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
And dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light;
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain,
and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
In you do we trust, nor find you to fail.
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!
