On That Very Day

Prayer Journal: December 4, 2025
23. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 12:43-51


▣ Introduction: On that day 

When you face pitch-dark difficulty, hold on to the three things God first gave Moses. In verse 51 it says, “On that day.” Today I set the title as “On that kind of day,” because we must receive the same answers. Knowing a lot about the Bible is important, but you must receive answers. You have done nothing wrong, but a problem came to your family. It is not even your fault. Your parents were shamans. But your family continues to suffer. That is one thing, but when you have children, your future generation also comes under spiritual problems. What should you do? When a pitch-dark and difficult situation stands before you, what should you do? You must pray that prayer today. Even if it is just today, pray. What should you do when it is impossible? It is not your fault. A spiritual problem came into the family, and no one can help with that. In some families, one person has mental illness, and another has developmental disability. That is not something parents can handle. What should they do? First of all, it is something very old. Not their own sin—something long-standing. Now Israel has reached a hopeless situation. Joseph is gone, and after 400 long years the Israelites have become complete slaves. The future generation was about to die. There is no situation harder than this. Egypt made a law: kill every Hebrew male child that is born. What kind of law is that? This situation actually came. At that time, God called Moses. How did He solve this problem? He first gave Moses three things. Today you must hold on to those. Of course they had to be set free from Egypt, but even more important was something else. They had to come out of the darkness. So God first gave Moses three things. You must absolutely remember these.

1. The sure covenant – The blood sacrifice What did He first give? He gave a sure covenant. “Lead My people out and give the blood sacrifice.” “Tell Pharaoh. I will be with you with a mighty hand. That will be the sign.” God said this. Moses held onto this covenant. Before that, he had never held it this strongly. When they were about to die, he held this covenant firmly.

2. The ten miracles – Completely breaking all the dark cultures Then he went before Pharaoh. That is the second thing. How can you defeat this darkness and come out? An amazing mystery appears here. What appears? We did not read it all; we only read the last part. God gave Moses power and performed ten miracles. If you look closely at the ten miracles, they are not something else. They completely broke all the dark culture. Today, may this be the Sunday when through prayer you break all dark culture. That alone is enough. You know the ten plagues. Ten miracles. The Nile River flows down from above, through Egypt, down to Sudan. It is enormous. It was Egypt’s god. God completely turned this into blood. When it became a sea of blood, what happened? God completely shattered the dark authority of the Nile. Frogs, gnats, flies—appear, right? All of these were Egyptian gods. Frogs were gods of fertility. In their own way, they called them gods. How can that be a god? In this way, the whole world fell into darkness. Israel was now trapped inside this. In some sense, this was a tremendous timetable. So the ten miracles completely broke all Egyptian culture. ※ Through prayer, break unbelief and all dark culture. You must break all unbelief and all dark culture in you.

3. The blood of the lamb, the authority to overcome darkness in the name of Jesus Christ – The secret to defeating the pitch-darkness of Egypt Third. But still it did not work. Even after the ten miracles, Pharaoh would not surrender. When did he surrender? When the firstborn children died—though that alone was not the true reason. Here an important answer appears. On the day the blood of the lamb was applied, the Israelites came out. This is the secret for you to overcome the pitch-darkness of Egypt before you. Believe and pray. Even just today—our nation and the entire church world are full of dark forces. It must become the time when with the blood of the Lamb, with the name of Jesus, this darkness is broken. So coming out of Egypt was not the real issue. It was that they had not come out of darkness. They needed to come out. After the ten miracles, Pharaoh said, “Go.” And in Biblical history the great Exodus took place. After the Exodus, God gave His Word. What is more important? They must now continue. To continue in this grace, keep the memorial day. Keep the Passover as a memorial. That is the text we read today. It is extremely important. ※ We have the authority to overcome darkness in the name of Christ. Break it. What sets us free is the blood covenant. When the firstborn were killed, the homes with the blood were passed over, and that is why it is called Passover. It means that darkness, death, and destruction could not come upon you but passed over. Because of that, when Egypt’s firstborn all died, Pharaoh finally surrendered. God said to commemorate this. It is important. ※ Hold the covenant first. Begin the prayer with authority. Do not forget this memorial. Solving the problems you have is important, but restoring what God has given is more important. So those who have such things in their family should not be discouraged, but first hold the covenant like Crosby did. Crosby held the covenant and gave thanks. “Thank You for giving me the blessing of being a child of God. Thank You for allowing me to pray the prayer that overcomes darkness.” She could not go anywhere, but the prayer like the ten miracles—prayer with authority—began in Crosby. One day, works began to arise. Crosby changed her prayer. Before she said, “Seeing is my prayer topic.” But later she said, “Not seeing is my prayer topic, because God leads me perfectly.” This appears in Crosby’s praise. God said to commemorate this. This is more important. Do not forget. What does it mean to commemorate? Why do we hold memorial ceremonies? “Do not forget.” Why do we commemorate 6.25? “Do not forget 6.25.” Why do we commemorate August 15 Liberation Day? “Do not forget.” So after Israel came out of Egypt, they carried out the ceremony to commemorate the Passover.

▣ Main: Keep the Passover – Continue it

What must be continued?

1. The Passover covenant that changes all destiny (verse 51) First. Commemorate the Passover covenant that changes—must change—all destiny. In verse 51, “On that day, the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt.” Commemorate this. “I rescued you from Egypt. You know people’s strength could not do it. I brought you out. Do not forget. Now go on the wilderness road.” That is all. God clearly gave proof. You cannot deny the historical work. 1) The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. This was spoken from the very beginning. From the beginning to the ancestors: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” 2) Build the ark. “Make the ark so that you and your descendants will not die in the disaster.” 3) The fulfillment of the message the mother gave when she sent him to the Egyptian palace – The word given at Horeb (blood sacrifice). It was the message his mother gave when she sent him to Pharaoh’s palace, right? God spoke this again at Mount Horeb. Think about it. From within the fire, “Moses, Moses.” He said, “The place where you are standing is holy ground. Remove your sandals.” It was a declaration of great decision. “Go now and tell the elders and tell Pharaoh: ‘Let My people go so they may give the blood sacrifice.’” That was fulfilled. Do not forget. If you do not forget, works will arise. But you keep forgetting. When you do not forget, works arise.

2. Imprint the power of God that no one can block Second. Why commemorate the Passover? Because no one can block the power of God. Commemorate the Passover that imprints that power. Do not forget.

  1. A week of concentration on the Passover They concentrated for one entire week on the Passover. (1) Concentrate on worship on Sunday and on prayer – The works of the Word will be seen. Try just one thing properly on Sunday. Remnants must concentrate on worship and prayer on Sunday. That alone is enough. Then you will see the works of the Word of God. If you lose this, you lose everything. So for one entire week, they concentrated on commemorating the Passover. There are many churches where the pastor is not present that are joining this message with us. Even churches with pastors are joining this message. Overseas, around one hundred sites listen by broadcast. After the sermon ends, this message goes out to thousands online today. And just as our elder prayed, many remnants are alone in remote places because their churches are struggling. So they worship alone. (2) Succeed in worship You must succeed in worship. Even those watching by video—the Word does not change. You must succeed in worship. Sunday is that important. I rarely speak about other matters on Sundays. Even if my secretaries ask, I do not answer. Why? Because Sunday is important. I must serve the Word of God. It would be easier if I had some qualification to teach you, but that is not the case. This is extremely important. (3) When you fall into deep, long-standing darkness – only that covenant, only that authority. Continue this. We can fall into such darkness on our path. Into long-standing darkness. What should we do? Only that covenant. Like the ten miracles—only that authority. Continue this. For one week they intensely focused on the Passover. That is why. (2) Unleavened bread – Eat the bread of affliction. Do not fear suffering. They ate unleavened bread. Unleavened means there is no leaven that makes bread rise. Just eat it. Simply put, it has no taste. In a way, it is the bread of affliction. Eat this. It has deep meaning. We do not fear suffering. They ate it for one week. (3) Meat – It must be those who are saved. Sacrifice of the covenant And what else? Meat. Today. Absolutely no foreigners. It must be those who are saved. God emphasized that. They ate it, but it was also the sacrifice of the covenant. Do not forget. Do not forget the power that brought you out of Egypt when it was absolutely impossible. Do not forget the covenant. It is the same meaning. Do not forget.

3. Deliver this to the future generation and to the entire world Lastly, why commemorate? Third: Deliver. Deliver this to the future generation and to the world. It tells us even how to deliver. How do we deliver?

  1. Passover – We escaped from darkness by the blood of Christ We escaped from darkness through the blood of Christ. Commemorate that. But it did not end there. 2) Pentecost – The power to save the world that comes only upon those with the Passover covenant The blessing of Pentecost came. Upon those who have the Passover covenant comes the blessing of Pentecost. This is the power to save the world. Because you are people of the Holy Spirit, the works of Pentecost. Why do people go to shamans? They have no choice. They are children of the devil. They have no choice. So you cannot just say they are wrong. That is their path. They serve demons—so they serve demons and get deceived and die. Satan is the deceiver. He pretends to know all your things but deceives you so you never know the truth. That is why disasters come on all Egypt and world wars break out and chaos happens now. Pentecost. The day when the Holy Spirit came. The simple word Pentecost came from gathering harvest in fifty days, but in Acts 2: “When the day of Pentecost came…” 3) Feast of Ingathering – Background of the throne It did not end there. The background of the throne. What is it? The Feast of Ingathering. That is why these three feasts are important. They go together. Commemorate them and do not forget. Deliver them to the future generation. Make the future generation go with this and conquer the world. ※ You cannot defeat Pharaoh by anything else. The darkness was simply broken. This authority is given to you (Luke 10:19, Mark 3:15, Mark 16:17–18). You cannot defeat Pharaoh with anything else. That Pharaoh who caused world wars, sold people as slaves, and killed—you cannot defeat him with anything else. The darkness was simply broken. You have this authority. Pray today. “I give you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.” “He gave them authority to drive out demons.” “In My name lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” “In My name drive out demons.” Jesus said this. He gave us tremendous authority. ※ With authoritative prayer, just as breaking the ten plagues, break the darkness. Today your field and our nation and the church are important. Today you must break darkness with authoritative prayer just as the ten plagues were broken. Do not forget this. Do not forget. Take this with you. Today is that kind of day. Yesterday while returning from the Gwangju gathering with the secretaries by car, as I mentioned to the elders today—the churches that closed have filled the listings. We cannot even take them because we have too many people. The sanctuary that seats 100 or 200 people—completely full on the listings. It is a serious problem. In each region. They cannot pay, so they put them up for sale. And they are not even expensive. “Just pay one million won a month and use it.” America? Filled. They are collapsing everywhere. What greater disaster is there than this? ※ Keep the Passover – Do not forget the covenant, the power, and delivering to the future generation to save the world. Today, you must pray this prayer. Keep the Passover. Commemorate the Passover. Do not forget the covenant. Do not forget the power. Do not forget saving the world by delivering to the future generation. Believe this. Only what is real must be believed. We cannot make it ourselves. It is by faith. Christ is not something we make and bring. God gave Him, so we receive by grace.

▣ Conclusion

I will conclude.

1. Five people finished this Five people finished this. Right? 1) The minister – One from the tribe of Levi, Moses Especially ministers—Moses alone, one from the tribe of Levi, finished all of this. 2) The church leader – Jethro who supported Moses Church leaders must realize this. Jethro alone supported Moses, and this world-changing work took place. 3) The remnants – Joshua and Caleb Two remnants followed. Who? Joshua and Caleb. “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” Caleb was his friend, but as soon as Joshua became leader, he said, “As I served Moses, I will serve you.” 4) The newcomer – Rahab the prostitute who held the covenant and received the greatest blessing Especially newcomers must remember. Rahab. She held the covenant. She changed into the one who received the greatest blessing. After entering Canaan, she became David’s grandmother. And following her descendants, Jesus Christ came.

2. We must be set free from darkness. Prayer holding the covenant with assurance will surely be answered. Lastly remember this. They came out of Egypt? That is not freedom. Not yet. Satan still exists. Came out of the wilderness? Not freedom. Philistines still remain. Beat them? Not freedom. They were taken captive to Babylon. Came out of Babylon? Not freedom. They became a colony of Rome again. It continues. We must be set free from darkness. Correct? In you, in our nation, and in your families, the work of liberation from darkness must arise. One of you is enough. Have assurance. “But I prayed and the answer did not come.” Of course. True answers do not come instantly in something visible. That is fake. The authority you used connects exactly to breaking darkness. Prayer with the covenant and assurance will surely be answered.

3. Commemorate – Do not forget the covenant that defeated darkness; deliver God’s power to the world through the future generation. Now you understand why He said to commemorate, right? What must we commemorate? The covenant that defeated darkness. With authority, the ten darknesses were completely broken. On the day the blood was applied, they came out. You must remember. Do not forget. Do not forget the covenant. Do not miss God’s power. This must be delivered to the whole world through the future generation. Our multiethnic people must go with this. Pray all day today. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Let today be the day we see the history of the Exodus and restore the secret of the Passover. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Hymn
You, Man of God
Lee Wonhwe

Winds of trouble may rage on
And things may be going wrong
Never forget you are in the ship
Where the captain God is strong

Words of deception call on
Temptations are all round
Conquer them all as you listen to
The gentle voice of God

God sees the world and sighs with grief
His heart breaks inside
Where are the ones with the true Gospel
Not one can he find

You man of God be strong
Be strong in the grace of Christ
What you have learned and heard from me
Entrust to reliable men

You man of God be strong
This Gospel you must preach on
God’s Holy spirit will be with you
Forever in all you do


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.


Scripture Reading
John 19:30. When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

Acts 1:1. In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach.

Message
The Calvary Guidepost and the Eternal Answer
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

There are seven journey guideposts in the Bible that we must absolutely know. From them come all answers to prayer and the revival of work: “Calvary, Mt. Olive, Mark’s upper room, Antioch, Asia, Macedonia, Rome.”

▣ Introduction_ It is finished
1. Disaster – Disaster is something that cannot be blocked by anything.
2. The 3 curses – He completely ended Satan, the background of hell, and disasters.
3. Light – He has called us as children of light.

▣ Main point
1. Destiny – Christ – This guidepost has completely changed our destiny through the Calvary covenant.
1) The Triune God – The word “Christ” is what allows us to enjoy the work of the Triune God.
2) The throne – Through the word “Christ,” we enjoy the blessing of the throne.
3) Past, today, future (Hebrews 13:8) – He has completely resolved today, the past, and the future. In Hebrews 13:8 it says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”

2. Future – Calvary is the guidepost that changes our future.
1) Matthew 28:16–20 – From Calvary, the resurrected Christ said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, and I will be with you always.”
2) Mark 16:15–20 – It says, “In My name they will drive out demons; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well, and the Christ seated at the throne worked with them.”
3) Acts 1:8 – “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” All of our standards must be set on doing world evangelization.

3. Background – The Calvary covenant becomes our great background.
1) Background of the throne – It is the background of the throne, invisible to the eyes, where there is no need to worry about destiny.
2) Background of answers – There is a background of receiving answers when we pray in the name of Christ.
3) Absolute – No matter what problem comes, this background is the background of what is called “absolute.”

▣ Conclusion
Bartizan, journey, guidepost – Christ ultimately explained the “7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts.”
1. 24 enjoyment – Pray comfortably with this.
2. 25 concentration – At least once a day, concentrate and pray with this. When you concentrate, your brain comes alive.
3. Eternity masterpiece – Eternity is where masterpieces come out. In your remaining lifetime, God’s masterpiece must come out—that is the answer.


Forum and Prayer

God’s Blessing Through His Servants

Deuteronomy 21:5. The priests, the descendants of Levi, must also go there. (The Lord your God has chosen these priests to serve him and to bless people in the name of the Lord. The priests will decide who is right in every lawsuit and whenever someone is hurt.


A faith-filled prayer of parents for their children moves the heart of God. He hears their cries and pours His blessing into the next generations. In the same way, God has chosen His servants to serve Him and to bless His people. Their most sacred calling is to lead God’s people into true worship—worship that lifts high the finished work of Jesus Christ.

Just as the priests in the Old Testament presented blood sacrifices before God, today’s pastors and spiritual leaders must continually place before the church the death and resurrection of Christ at all times—the center of all worship and the source of all blessing. That was what the Early Church did:

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.” (Acts 2:42)

God’s servants lead worship filled with the Word, foster unity in Christ, and guide the church to seek God’s will. And God has given them spiritual authority—to speak blessing in the name of the Lord and to discern His will in the midst of His peoples’ covenant journey.

Your spiritual leaders continually lift you up in prayer. They stand before God on your behalf, remembering you with love and burden. So the Scriptures instruct us to honor them—especially those who labor in preaching and teaching (1 Timothy 5:17)—and to support them with the good things God has given us (Galatians 6:6). Most importantly, Scripture calls us to pray for them that:

God may open a door for [their] message… and [they] may proclaim the mystery of Christ clearly.” (Colossians 4:3–4)

We have been called to save our church—to restore its joy, unity,  spiritual power, and mission. Many today are discouraged or even wounded within the church. This grieves God’s heart. But when Christ becomes the center, the gates of hell cannot prevail against His church (Matthew 16:18).

So always choose faith over unbelief. Become the joy of your church and the delight of your pastor. Become a model of the gospel, a vessel of prayer, and a witness for evangelism to future generations. Your faithfulness today will become a foundation of blessing for countless lives tomorrow.


Prayer. Lord, thank You for revealing Your righteousness in the gospel through Christ. Help me choose faith in every situation today so that I may save my family, my church, and the world You love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lecture 1 「God’s Bartizan and Concentration」 (Ac 2:17-18)
Lecture 2 「God’s Journey and Our Life」 (Ac 2:1-47)
Lecture 3 「God’s Journey and Springboard」 (1Co 3:16)
Lecture 4 「God’s Journey and Mystery」 (Mt 28:20)
Lecture 5 「God’s Bartizan and Assurance」 (Jn 1:12)


Here in Gwangju I am seeing so many new things. So I thought, “Ah, this is not the countryside.” Since you are already putting in so much effort, even if it is something our broadcasting team already knows, whenever a praise song comes out, you must put in the lyricist and composer. And if there is someone singing a solo, you must put that person’s name as well. Since you are putting in the effort anyway, it would be good if you could do it that way.

▣ Introduction

There are a few things that not only our remnants but also many church members must always remember.

Now At any time, you must always think, “What kind of answer is God giving now?” Today is Remnant Day. God gathered the remnants in the wilderness and gave them a message for all Israel. He told them to let the future generations know all the things that had happened up to that point. But if you look at the content, He did not just say “let them know,” He said to imprint it. That is the end of it. What kind of time is now? It is the time when Samuel became an adult and began the Mizpah movement for the future generations. It is precisely that time. And to save the future generations, Elisha began the Dothan movement. So it is that time. And to save the future generations, in Isaiah chapter 62 God said to set watchmen. It is the time of blessing when God answers day and night. And whenever Paul met an important person, there is something he certainly did: he took them into the synagogue. That work is taking place now. At any time, you must confirm how God is working now.

Prayer (brain) + soul + eternal background And what actually happens when you pray? When you pray, your brain completely comes alive. And why do I keep telling you to breathe comfortably? Why do I tell you to do breathing prayer? In the past I did not talk about this, but now it has been completely proven scientifically. Now, if you go on YouTube, you see a huge amount of content about breathing. Why? Because if you do not do that, you cannot save your body. The place that is especially affected first is here (the brain). So when you combine breathing with prayer, you completely come alive. So remnants must always remember: “Ah, this is why we pray!” You must always remember this. Then it is not just something ordinary. It connects like this (to the soul). It connects into your soul. This is prayer. So it does not just end there. This connects to the eternal background. That is why it is important. All the spells and prayers of people who are not saved connect with eternity, but that place is hell. How miserable is that? That is their background. The reason the topic of the throne keeps coming out for you is because it is our background. So in the remnant time you must remember this prayer.

▣ Main point So there are a few things you absolutely must keep in your heart as you begin.

1. Bartizan (concentration) – [ 7〮7〮7 ] First, the reason for doing this prayer is to build the bartizan of the LORD. Prayer is concentrating on that. So to what extent should you set a standard and do this? We came to the conclusion of what Jesus taught. You must set a standard. Jesus explained the forty days. So it is bartizan, journey, and guidepost.

1)Three courtyards When remnants pray holding onto this, three courtyards are made and can be revived. Because you will become the main figures in this, you must enjoy this blessing.

2) The three-day weekend age And the answers all came from here, right? You are becoming the main figures of the three-day weekend age. In this way, when you have a bartizan for other remnants, things become easy. If there is no bartizan, it becomes difficult. If you have a bartizan, a watchman can guard from there. It is hard to stand outside without a bartizan and act as a watchman. It is hard in winter and hard in summer. If you have this bartizan, you can enjoy blessings like this. So from today, remnants must absolutely start praying, even briefly. This (brain + soul) completely comes alive. What you do from now connects to the eternal background. If you could even do 24, you would overturn the world. Even if you do not go that far, for remnants—in fact, for remnants, if they just worship properly on Sunday, that is enough. But if you start this kind of prayer even once a day, it is tremendous. This (brain + soul) changes. That is why when we ask, “Why do we do this?” it is because nothing else must enter here (brain + soul). So for people who became great figures, almost everything was imprinted during their remnant time. And if you look at people who commit big incidents, kill people, and do such things, in almost every case something evil was imprinted during their remnant time. So it goes on for eternity.

3)Age of holy meditation So why do we talk about concentration, setting, and answers? It is to open the age of holy meditation. With these three, remnants can save the world. From now on, keep praying.

2. Journey As you continue doing this (number 1), you go on a journey with it. Because you go on the journey with this, there are a few things you must absolutely remember before you go on the journey.

  1. Christ — what He gave, 1.3.8 What in the world did Christ give us? You must go with this. What Christ gave us came out earlier while we were singing praise, right? He gave this (1.3.8). Christ completely gave the answer, and He gave the mystery of the kingdom of God, the filling of the Holy Spirit, and world evangelization.
  2. Start Then how did this begin? That was Mark’s upper room.

(1) The three feasts The most important part there is the phrase, “When the day of Pentecost came.” When it says, “When the day of Pentecost came,” it means it comes upon those who are saved. It is unnecessary for those who are not saved; it comes upon those who are saved. And “Pentecost came” has another background. We call that the three feasts. This is the start.

(2) Acts 2:9–11 So you often ask, “What should we do?” If you continue this (7〮7〮7) prayer, you will see it. You will see two things. You will see people. You will see the prepared disciples. So success does not come from meeting a lot of people. There are people whom God has prepared. So for our pastors and remnants, when you evangelize you must always keep in mind that within that field there can definitely be someone whom God has prepared. When you pray, the Holy Spirit leads in a marvelous way. If you do not know that prayer, even if you are being led, you do not recognize it. So you cling to the wrong person and work hard. As you keep doing it, just as a doctor can see a patient and know, as you keep doing it you can confirm, “Ah, this person is a prepared disciple right now; this person is not.” Then you dig into that person. People keep making evangelism difficult. For me, how did I start? When I looked at a newcomer, there were people who just came, and there were people who were prepared. For people who just came, you can just be a bit good to them. Just treat them so they will not get offended. But there are prepared people. If you grab hold of that and dig in, the doors keep opening. So if you go to a random person and evangelize, it is difficult. Around newcomers there are many unbelievers. Around pastors there are almost no unbelievers. That is why the ones who are worst at evangelism are pastors. That is normal. There are no targets around them. If one unbeliever comes, then 99–100% of the people around that person are targets. You must not lose hold of that. But instead of meeting those people, you keep meeting other people. Meeting these people is the first part of the camp.

(3) Acts 2:17–18 Then the future is simply seen—with what? It is seen as answers. Then you can just go. If you do not see it, you can wait. Jesus told us to wait. If you stand in some other path and keep saying, “It is not coming,” then of course it will not come. So this is very important. Remnants must not forget this. You do not need to worry, “What will I do in the future?” It is the same as thinking, “Which road should I take to go home?” You should just go. Only people coming home for the first time worry like that. These days you do not even need that worry. There is navigation for everything.

3. Platform — 10 things Third, for you to go on the journey there must absolutely be a platform. What is the platform? It is the 10 things. I believe in God’s absolute sovereignty. You must truly believe in God. God has a plan. But even more important, God’s plan is to save. Even if it looks like you are going through great hardship, it is to save. He makes you suffer to save, but Satan makes you suffer to kill you. That is where it is different. “For God so loved the world.” In contrast, Satan “so hated the world.” His goal is for you to be ruined. God’s goal is for you to live. He even wants unbelievers to be blessed. So you must believe in God’s absolute sovereignty. Then what is the second? God’s absolute method. What is that? It is Christ. God’s absolute power is that He said He would send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. God’s absolute guarantee is the Word. The most important temple is me. The Holy Spirit of God is in you. Where is the most important mission field? The place where I am. God knows my entire life. That is why we are thankful. He watches over our sitting down and rising up. But it does not end with that. It comes to everyone once. After being born on this earth, everyone comes to face death. To everyone. And there is surely the afterlife. It is promised in the Bible. Only the part of “going there and actually seeing it” remains, but the Bible promises it that way. Seven thousand promises have been fulfilled, and within those words God says that there is hell and heaven. And what is the final platform? If this evangelism movement you are doing is real, He said, “Even a cup of cold water will not lose its reward.” I have spoken of the 10 platforms. You must remember them. Right now I just recited them all from memory. Because they are always inside my prayer. And it does not end with that.

4. Secret — 10 things God has given you as many as 10 secrets. What is the very first? You survive wherever you are. Alone. You survive even if there is no one to help you. In some sense, you go with No-time, No-way, and Nobody. God’s entire way is there. And you must always not be deceived by what you see in reality, but open your eyes to the spiritual facts. Answers are almost always on the other side. People fight complicated fights, but the answer is not there; it is somewhere else. So fools grab hold of that and fight every day. The answer is not there. And if you grab hold of God’s covenant, you save everyone. So we choose the side of crisis. Problem came? We go there. That is a remnant. And what do we not have? We have no competitors. If you truly receive answers, you have no competitors. Who can compete with Joseph? They cannot. Who can compete with Elisha? As God blessed and fulfilled the remnant’s will, who can compete with Daniel? They just became jealous and died; it was not competition. And what is your real answer? Do not worry about studies. It is re-creation. It is re-creation that prepares 300%. Then everything unconditionally ends. And what is it? We choose the desert and wilderness. What is the last secret? Seeing God’s absolute plan. You see the absolute. It is not something you may or may not do. Absolute. “It would be good if I did it”? Why would you stake your life on that? It is absolute. I have just spoken of the 10 secrets. Remnants must absolutely remember them.

5. Assurance — 5 things Finally, what is it? Many different things arise. Everything now is just the beginning and the process. It is the 5 assurances. What are they? “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” If the word “Christ” is believed—then you have been saved. Praying hard? That is what comes after. If Christ is not believed but you pray fervently, then problems come. If you have not even received salvation but you pray hard, problems come. That is the same as doing a shamanistic ritual. Because there is no Christ. So if there is no Christ but you work diligently, problems come. What is the first thing you must have? The assurance of salvation. And He said this: “Ask in My name.” What does that mean? It means you do not need to catch lambs, cows, or anything like that anymore. Everything ends with this one name. He gave you the key. So “Ask in My name”—that is the assurance of prayer answers. Many problems come to us. Remnants must be calm. Why? Because He only gives trials you can bear and surely makes you overcome. First Corinthians 10:13. What is it? The assurance of victory. He makes you win. And what is it? Why did He send Christ? You cannot overcome disaster, the background of hell, and Satan. He completely finished all of that. Mark 10:45—the assurance of forgiveness. And what was the last thing He said? The first thing He said and the last thing He said were the same: “I will be with you always.” The assurance of guidance. I have said everything now. I have just spoken it. So you take this with you. Whenever problems come, you must know, “Ah, this is the process.” When He says He only gives trials you can bear, it means that for a great person He can give great trials. If you are a person who looks like you will do great works, God trains you greatly. For a small vessel, He gives small trials. Who tells a first-grader in elementary school, “Solve integrals and calculus”? No one does that. To an elementary school student, you say, “What is 1 plus 1?” If I, a full-grown adult, call Pastor Jo Sangryong and ask, “What is 1 plus 1?” who is the fool? I am the fool. God is not that kind of fool. If He gives a big trial, it means you can become a great worker. Remnants must always remember this. “Ah, the environment of our home was not good.” That means you are a great person. Why? Because that is how you are trained. A tree that grows in a greenhouse is not really a tree. If it is not cared for and goes outside, it dies. That is why you must be hit by rain and wind; that is how you become a proper tree. You must firmly hold onto these 5 assurances.

The Blessing of Evangelism

Mark 10:29-30. “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.


God’s call to evangelism is not a burden—it is a blessing. The privileges He has entrusted to us are so glorious that “even angels long to look into these things” (1 Peter 1:12). Through the field of evangelism, God wants us to personally experience the power of the resurrected Christ. He wants us to stand confidently on the victory of the cross and watch the forces of darkness collapse at the name of Jesus, crushed under our feet once more (Romans 16:20).

There is no greater joy than rescuing a soul bound by Satan’s chains. The fruit of evangelism is eternal—the only crown we will treasure before Christ’s return (1 Thessalonians 2:19). Evangelism is shining the Light you have received into the places still in darkness (Isaiah 60:1). It is simply telling others what God has done in your life—your testimony of Christ’s presence becomes the very means through which others come to life.

Yet many believers feel evangelism is reserved only for the most gifted or trained. Not so. Evangelism is the natural life movement of anyone who truly has the life of Christ. If you have been saved by His blood, then introducing Jesus to those still oppressed by the devil is the most natural and powerful expression of gratitude toward God and love toward people. This is why evangelism is one of the greatest blessings God has given to His children and why Satan fears it more than anything.

The Early Church understood this. Under severe persecution, they did not retreat or ask for relief—they prayed for greater boldness to proclaim the gospel (Acts 4:23–31). Persecution only sharpened their focus on their heavenly mandate and missions.

Discover the evangelism that is most natural to your life. Begin by praying that God will open doors for the gospel (Colossians 4:3). Connect every relationship, every interaction—every day—to evangelism. Be prepared to share the hope of Christ with gentleness and respect whenever the Spirit prompts you (1 Peter 3:15).

Jesus calls with urgency. Lives are at stake. Nothing is more important than leading even one soul to Christ. Nothing is more necessary than praying for disciples who will become workers in God’s harvest (Matthew 9:37–38). Nothing will fulfill you more than participating in Christ’s Great Commission in this generation.

You carry the authority of Jesus’ name—“the name above every name” (Philippians 2:9). You walk with the privilege of divine communication and are surrounded by the protection of angel armies. Wherever you go with the gospel, the Lord Himself will work with you, confirming His Word with power (Mark 16:20). The gospel will spread rapidly and be honored (2 Thessalonians 3:1).

So do not worry about what you may lose for the sake of Christ—anything you may lose is not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in you(Romans 8:18). He Himself guarantees that anything surrendered for Him and for the gospel will return a hundredfold in this life—and immeasurable glory in the next (Mark 10:29–30).


Prayer. Father, help me live today with a single devotion to Christ and an undivided heart for the gospel. Let me walk with bold faith as Your evangelist, confident in the authority of Jesus’ name. Fill my field with Your presence and drive out every force of darkness. Use me to rescue those in bondage and restore lives by Your power. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

The Calvary Guidepost and the Eternal Answer

2024.11.03 District Message
Scripture Reading: John 19:30, Acts 1:1


There are seven guideposts in the Bible that we must absolutely know. From them come answers to prayer, revival of your work—everything comes out from there. So it is not something you should know, but something you must absolutely know.

Calvary. The first guidepost is the Calvary event.

Mt Olive. The second guidepost is Mt Olive where the mission was given. If you do not know this (Mt Olive), you absolutely cannot pray.

Mark’s upper room. The third guidepost is Mark’s upper room. I received a tremendous amount of answers through this (Mark’s upper room) part. The word “upper room” came from there. For example, when I went to the place I pioneered in Busan, there was no church, no members, nothing, in a 12-pyeong space. So I opened 276 upper rooms. Then the entire region of Yeongdo was completely overturned. Work and evangelism are all contained inside this guidepost.

Antioch. Then the very important guidepost is the Antioch church.

Asia. And now something very important: when they first went out as missionaries and completely received the Holy Spirit’s guidance—Asia.

Macedonia. And to accomplish an even greater evangelization, God blocked the doors and gave them a turning point, that was Macedonia. All the paths were blocked, but while praying, He said, “Go to Macedonia.” In this way, the first person they met there was Lydia.

Rome. And what is the final guidepost? Rome. Just like this, everything from the beginning to the end of the Bible is connected. So the answers that arise at each crucial point are related to our evangelism, related to our business, and related to our prayer answers.

Among these, what we must look at today is the Calvary guidepost. This guidepost does not appear and then disappear, but it is the eternal answer. It is that important.

▣ Introduction: “It is finished.”

Among the seven sayings spoken at Calvary, the most important was: “It is finished.” This is an extremely important word for us.

1. Disaster
Simply put, He finished all the disasters and suffering that were coming. Disasters cannot be blocked by anything.

2. The 3 curses
And regarding the 3 curses, He completely ended them. Humans suffer because of these. If you are not in Christ—the people who talk about geomancy—there is a certain logic in what they say. You get caught by all of it. And those who are demon-possessed say something, and sometimes it sounds logical. That is why unbelievers go there. But if you are in Christ, everything is finished. We do not even need to protect our own day. But unbelievers must protect certain days or else it is not okay for them, right? We have no such things. This word “It is finished” is a tremendous term. We can actually enjoy it. Unbelievers even have fixed days for moving to a new house. If they get it wrong, they have accidents. When I first went to Yeongdo, there was a ship captain who owned a boat. Boats are very expensive. And this man invited us, saying he would believe in Jesus, so we went. He said accidents happened every day. What could he do? Every day there were accidents. Not long ago, his older brother, while crossing between boats, fell and died. He could not handle this anymore. So he invited us, and after worship he accepted Jesus Christ. I was shocked. Under the floor mat—there were talismans. Everywhere talismans were attached. Even inside the refrigerator there were talismans. And not only that, he carried talismans around. I told him, “It is all finished.” Being in Christ is an enormous statement. So the 3 curses—Satan, the background of hell, and disaster—are all completely finished.

3. Light
And because He has called us as children of light, Christ on the cross has resolved all curses. Some people feel very offended by this. Then keep receiving curses. It is finished.

▣ Main 

1. Destiny — Christ
So first, what is it? This guidepost changes my destiny. Through the Calvary covenant, our destiny is completely changed. So new believers have absolutely no need to fear. Someone accepted Jesus Christ and came to the church but said they dreamed every night. What kind of dream? A dream where demons appeared. I told them, “Even if they appear, it’s okay.” Because they stayed a long time, such things still remain. It has no connection to you. So if we really know we have received salvation, it is truly tremendous.

1) The Triune God
Why? Because the term “Christ” allows us to enjoy the work of the Triune God.

2) The throne
Not only that, but we enjoy the blessing of the throne through the word “Christ.”

3) Past, today, future
And not just that, He completely resolved the past, today, and the future. Someone criticized me for preaching this (past, today, future). And then he got in big trouble. Scholars rose up and said, “Isn’t this correct? You are the heretic,” and the scholars stood up against him.
(Hebrews 13:8)
Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” The Early Church was so thankful for receiving salvation that they cried and cried. We have heard so much that we no longer feel much, but the Early Church embraced one another and wept loudly.

2. Future

What is it? Calvary is the guidepost that changes our future.

1) Matthew 28:16–20
Understand just a few Scripture verses. From Calvary, the resurrected Christ said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, and I will be with you always.”

2) Mark 16:15–20
“I will be with you with the power of the throne. In My name drive out demons.” Even, “Lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” When a sick person comes, I am assured they will be healed in the name of Jesus Christ. I have that assurance. You have it too, but you don’t have assurance. You do have it. “In My name they will drive out demons, they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” And in verse 20 it says, “The Christ seated at the throne worked with them.”

3) Acts 1:8
Even for the last part—He could have just said, “Be My witness to the ends of the earth,” but He said, “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” You must believe this. All of your standards must be set on world evangelization. What is the standard of students’ studies? They must study to the point they can do world evangelization. As will come out in the 1st and 2nd service sermons today, you must prepare 300%. That blessing has already come.

3. Background
Also, the Calvary covenant becomes our great background. We used to say, “we have backing,” right? It manifests that background.

1) Background of the throne
We have the background of the heavenly throne, having changed from children of the devil. It is invisible. You do not need to worry about destiny. You do not need to worry about superstition and such things. It is completely the background of the throne. If you face great difficulty, a great blessing will come. Believe it. If you suffer great pain, in some way it means you are a great vessel. This is the background.

2) Background of answers
Not only that, but when we pray in the name of Christ, we have the background to receive answers.

3) Absolute
And what is it? No matter what problem comes to you, this background is the background of “absolute.”

So listen well to the 1st and 2nd service sermons today, and you must pray and receive strength, and the sick must be healed.

▣ Conclusion: 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts
So what conclusion comes? A very important conclusion comes: Christ ultimately explained these bartizans, journeys, and guideposts. Keep praying with this. I keep praying with this and received many answers. If you pray holding onto this covenant without being deceived—Jesus gave this.

〔24〕 Enjoyment
So, I will talk more during the message later, but just pray comfortably, comfortably. That is 24. It is not that we literally pray 24 hours, but we always enjoy prayer comfortably.

〔25〕 Concentration
And at least once a day, you must concentrate and pray on this. That is 25. You must remember this. Our elderly people—during the time of concentration—you become younger. You must remember. During the time of concentration, the brain becomes alive. The brain grows until 25 and then it dies, collapses. But what you concentrate on is important. Concentrate on this (7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts). If you continue concentrating on your worries, what will happen? Or if you continue concentrating on what people say, what will happen? You cannot hear God’s Word. You must concentrate on this (7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts).

〔Eternity〕 Masterpiece
Then what is eternity? This is where masterpieces come out. It is absolutely so.

So what I want to specially ask is this: if our remnants only do a little bit from a young age, this truly helps. And for those who are aging, do not just listen unconditionally—do it. Then in your remaining lifetime, God’s masterpiece will appear. That is the answer. I bless that as you pray this throughout the whole day today, healing takes place and it becomes a precious day where you receive great strength, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Grant the power You promised to the people of God gathered in this place today. Let them save the world with answers the world does not know. As they pray throughout the day, let sickness depart from the sick. Let today be the day they receive the blessing of the economy of light. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

What We Must Do

Prayer Journal: December 2, 2025
22. Feb. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism


RT Remnants must understand this word well. The word “Remnant” in the Bible means “those who remain,” and it is the most important word. Then you must understand three words as well.

TCK If you do not know TCK, you cannot do world evangelization. That is why even people in international marriages are important for this reason. In some ways, they look like people who have been abandoned, do they not? That is important. (T) The third culture.

CCK There are Remnants who are completely in an opposite culture, such as Muslims or Chinese people. C means “culture,” and Kids means “children.” So what are you going to do about these people who are completely in a cross, in the opposite side of the cultural sphere?

NCK There are Remnants in places where there is no culture at all. You must understand these three words (TCK, CCK, NCK) in order to pray correctly.

237 – 5000, healing, summit When this comes out, that is what we call 237, healing, and summit.

– Three courtyards – This is what we call the three courtyards. It was that very field where Jesus became angry. Because there was no place for the multiethnic people to come, no place to pray, and no courtyard for the children, Jesus became angry. You must understand this. If you do not understand this, there are people who say they have read the Bible 100 times. So what will you do after reading it a lot like that? Some say 200 times. I do not mean that reading the Bible a lot is a bad thing. But it is like holding a map without knowing the way.

「What we must absolutely do」 Therefore, within this, there is something that Remnants must absolutely do. Right?

1. What to change (John 8:44) First, what to change. You must change this during the Remnant time. And when you meet these people, you must change them as well. What must be changed? I told you earlier. They belonged here (John 8:44), and I said that their lives had entered into this. They are running errands for the devil. This must be changed. If this is not changed, nothing will work in any case.

  1. 12 strategies Satan has used 12 strategies. You must completely overturn these.
  2. Scars And scars must be changed. Scars may look like nothing, but they must be changed.
  3. Platform You must not just change these scars lightly. You must turn them into a platform. Because you cannot forget them, you must make them into a platform. All Remnants must absolutely do this (the opening part). And we adults must open up the three-day weekend age so that this (what to change) can be done. If you try to take out what is inside of you, you will not easily bring it out. Right? Do you grab some passerby on the street and tell them your story? You do not, do you? But when you meet a friend, you tell it to your close friend, do you not? You must be able to come to church and take out your things and change them.

2. What to find (Romans 1:16–17) What to find. What Paul found (Romans 1:16–17). What Luther found. You must find it. Although we know that this is the gospel, what we have not found is this.

  1. The value of the gospel You must discover the value of the gospel. This is everything, but it is not becoming everything, is it? Then you have not found it. Christ is the One who has finished every problem, but you have not found that. You must find it.
  2. The happiness of the gospel And how good this gospel is. This gospel is my greatest happiness. You must find this.
  3. The power of the gospel And you must absolutely find the power of the gospel. There must be power. Because they criticized Paul so much, Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God that brings salvation.” That is what he said. He found this. You must find this during the Remnant time. And at times, you must find it in a factual way. Remnants must find it scientifically. Can the background of hell, the background of Satan, disasters, and spiritual problems that we have be solved? They cannot. Because they cannot be solved, God gave this to us. That is why we call it grace. The term “Christ” is the scientifically possible way to solve them. That is why the Old Testament is the promise that Christ will be sent. Right? The New Testament is that Christ has come. Paul said, “The righteous will live by this faith.” That is what it means. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” In the English Bible, there is an article. It says, “The way.” There are many ways. But He is “the way.” There are many truths. He is “the truth.” Is not everything that is alive a life? He is “the life.” You must know this together.

3. What to establish (300%) Therefore our Remnants, with this strength, are to establish things.

  1. My bartizan It is to establish my bartizan 100%.
  2. Field bartizan And before we go to the field, it is the field bartizan 100%.
  3. Future bartizan And it is the future bartizan 100%. This is what we call 300%. So in our General Assembly we are saying, “Let us do camp like this.”

Now, if we have not properly held to the golden fields, the blind spots, and the disaster fields, they will not accept it. When is graduation? When clear fruits appear, that is graduation. If that does not happen, some of you may not be able to graduate for twenty years. We will not let you graduate. You must receive the true blessing. So now the General Assembly president has had all his answers come out: “Ah, I must do this.” If we are not going to do this, why have a General Assembly? Only to always meet and fight? There was a pastor like this; I was truly surprised. He could not preach well, and the church was not going well, but when he spoke to you—I used to go to the General Assembly and Presbytery meetings, and when they came out and spoke at the General Assembly, their eyes changed completely. They were so smart. I was so surprised. Their eyes were blazing, and although they usually stuttered a little, at that time they did not stutter at all. “Ah, there is such a nature,” I thought. But when they go back to the church, it is just a mess. They were wrongly imprinted. You must imprint Remnants firmly. Then it will last a lifetime. As you go, once in a while you must check, “Ah, do I have this blessing?” Because if you drive a car without ever having it inspected even once, one day you will die. Right? If possible, even with a car, every day you should check whether the tires or anything else are strange before you go; you must not just run. Almost all airplane accidents happen because they did not inspect. Hundreds of people died. They should inspect something, but they do not. That is the biggest reason. For that reason, this time too, what if the plane had taken off when it caught fire underneath? It is fortunate that it could not take off. If it had, everyone sitting there would have died, being roasted by the fire. That is how important it is to inspect and check. Especially for Remnants, when you go to worship on Sunday, check this: “Ah, do I have this blessing or not?” Then everything will naturally be fulfilled when you become an adult. Let us pray.

Prayer We give glory and praise to God. We also give thanks. Let this blessing absolutely come upon the Remnants, and we thank You for what You have already given. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Why Doesn’t God Answer My Prayer?

Proverbs 15:8. The Lord detests the sacrifice of the wicked, but the prayer of the upright pleases him.


When you pray, do not pray like those who do not know God. Jesus taught us not to heap up empty and repetitive words, because the Father already knows what we need before we ask Him (Matthew 6:7-8). God is not interested in eloquent phrases but sees beneath the words and knows the intentions within us: “The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7).

This is why David confessed, “If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened” (Psalm 66:18). Sin held onto in secret hinders prayer. Bitterness blocks peace. Unforgiveness quenches the Spirit. When we approach God harboring revenge or pride, we are not aligned with His heart.

Prayer begins by yielding to His desires above our own. Scripture reminds us that unanswered prayer often comes from pursuing selfish goals rather than God’s purposes (James 4:3). Your Father loves you too deeply to give you what would ultimately harm you. Instead, He desires to give you the very best — His own Spirit. Jesus said, “How much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!” (Luke 11:13).

Even our Lord Jesus modeled this surrender when He prayed in Gethsemane, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39). He prayed again, fully submitting to the will of the Father (Matthew 26:42).

His entire life of prayer was built on the words He taught us: “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10). This is what pleases the heart of God: not a prayer that demands our own will, but one that joyfully embraces His. We have been given everything through His Son. There is nothing to ask for, except for the kingdom of God.

The early church understood this. Under threats and persecution, their prayer was not for personal safety but for boldness to proclaim the gospel: “Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable Your servants to speak Your word with great boldness. Stretch out Your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of Your holy servant Jesus” (Acts  4:29-30). Their deepest longing was for God’s kingdom to advance. Their confidence was in Christ, not in comfort.

God has already lavished every spiritual blessing upon His children in Christ. In His presence there is rest, joy, peace, hope, and abundance. He delights in you. Therefore, do not approach Him like a beggar. You have full access to the throne of grace by the blood of Jesus (Hebrews 10:19-20). Your identity is no longer defined by sin, Satan or hell. You are a beloved and honored child of the Most High God!

So pray like one. Pray with confidence. Pray with expectation. Pray with a heart aligned to His mission. Do not give up when you do not see immediate answers. Jesus promised that God “will bring about justice for His chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night” (Luke 18:7). Keep praying with persistent faith. Keep praying with shameless audacity.

You have been born from above. Therefore, pray for the things above. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness and trust that everything else will be provided in God’s perfect time (Matthew 6:33). When you pray in alignment with the throne of the Triune God, the kingdom of darkness trembles. People living in despair will encounter the light of the gospel through you. God will move in ways that surpass understanding and change the world around you.

Let your prayers please the Lord. Let your heart be fully His. Let your life be a testimony that God delights in the prayer of His children.


Prayer. Father, help me pray not as a beggar but as Your beloved child. Align my heart with Your will. Strengthen my faith so that I may ask confidently and live boldly for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer of the Week: November 30, 2025

Heavenly Father, restore in me true prayer—the prayer that revives my soul, body, and mind. Establish within me the bartizan of the throne so that my thoughts and prayers are imprinted before You, the journey becomes clear, and the guideposts of Your answers appear. As You did in Mark’s upper room, fill me with the power of the Holy Spirit. Make me a spiritual summit who shines the light, a skill summit who prepares the field and the future, and a culture summit who overcomes darkness and saves 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. Help me rise as Your royal priest and Christ’s ambassador who carries the Gospel to the ends of the earth.

I pray for Pastor Francis. May the power of Your throne be upon him, his family, and Eden Church. I ask for Your absolute plan to be fulfilled throughout this journey, advancing the gospel in Africa.


The Seven Bartizans
1 May the Triune God work powerfully within me; take full control of my thoughts, heart, soul, and body.
2 Let the power of the throne come on me.

The Seven Guideposts
1 May the power of the blood of the cross at Calvary come upon every place I go.
2 May the covenant of the Mount of Olives, the things pertaining to God’s kingdom, be fulfilled wherever I go,
3 May the work of God that came upon the Mark’s Upper Room come upon me.
4 May Your time schedule that appeared in Antioch appear in me.
5 Grant me the very work that took place in Asia, Paul’s first mission field, where all the answers were discovered.
6 Help me find the life-turning point that Paul’s team discovered [Macedonia].
7And, grant me the grace to see Rome as well.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Matching God’s Covenant, Direction, Goal

Prayer Journal: December 1, 2025
16. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
237 Missions Department Devotional Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 2:10-20


Thank you. We often ask many questions like, “What work should we do?” That is important too, but God does not desire that in that way. You do not need to worry about that. You may also ask questions like, “How should we do missions?” However, in reality, we do not have the ability to do missions. Moses struggled for 80 years, but not a single thing was accomplished. Today became the day when God called Moses.

God holds the covenant. This is the most important thing. No matter how earnestly you work, if you lose hold of the covenant, you have lost everything. And with that covenant, He sets the path. Then, through you, He has the goal of saving others. Today He gave that covenant. In Exodus 3:10–20 there are many very important words. “I AM WHO I AM.” That is what the name “Jehovah” means. The word “Jehovah” is the same as “Yahweh,” and it means “the One who exists by Himself.” A tremendous message has been thrown to us in today’s passage.

[ The voice of Horeb Mount ]
And so today that place is Horeb Mount. The important thing is, “How can we hear the voice of Horeb Mount?” In order to hear the voice of Horeb Mount, you must absolutely consider three things in a big way.

[ Now (covenant) ]
What is happening right now, at this moment, to you? Now. When you have now held to God’s covenant, direction, and goal, what is happening? Most people do not believe this, but you must believe it. At the very beginning of today’s worship, the first words were, “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” In other words, “God is not like this (wet towel), something you can see with your physical eyes. He is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in the Holy Spirit and in the truth.”

[ 1. Trinity ]
Then at this very time, such works of the Holy Spirit are taking place. The Triune God. This is very important. While you are worshiping here, He is working by the Holy Spirit in every place related to you. This is called transcending time and space. When you truly and accurately hold to the covenant, works take place in your children.

[ 2. Binding the darkness (Satan, evil spirits) ]
At that time, even though we have not gone there, the darkness is bound. You must always remember this. When we hold to the covenant, when we worship, when we pray, this is what is happening right now. When we say darkness is bound, it means that the forces of Satan and evil spirits are being bound. Right at this time.

[ 3. Throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies) ]
Right at this time. While we are simply praying here, the power of the throne appears. This is the promise of Jesus. The kingdom of God is established. And the works of the kingdom of God take place. At this time, God sends His holy angels and messengers. It is the same spiritual beings, but when they deliver the message, we usually say “messengers.” And when they help, we call them “angels.” And when they fight in your urgent matters, the Bible expresses them as the “heavenly armies.” Unbelievers hate these words. Why? Because we say we bind Satan. They are serving Satan, and we say we bind him. Right? And those who actually worship idols are afraid. Because Satan is being bound. However, many theologians and pastors dislike these words. I do not know the reason. If we remove this, there is no meaning at all in our worship today. I hear this rumor often: “On the days when the pastor comes, more people come. On the days when the pastor does not come, many seats are empty.” So I wondered, “Is it because they are from Seoul?” But they say Busan is like that too. That is foolish. Even if we do not have time, we can fully utilize the message. Through broadcast or materials. However, on the Lord’s Day, you must receive answers regarding everything in your life. So what if the church is far away? It does not matter at all. Why do you go on a picnic? Why do you cause such a fuss and accidents and go on a picnic? The family must make a spiritual picnic and come. In the future, if we do not find the answer for the three-day weekend age, it will be a big problem. If we do not know the three courtyards, the churches of the world will close their doors. You must remember this. When I came here, I had assurance about this. The pastor here before was an excellent pastor, but the church was so far away that people did not come, and the church could not handle it. Right? He was a very excellent person, but the members could not follow. I was assured. “Our members will climb up even if the church is built on a cliff, hanging onto a rope.” Right? And indeed, you have all climbed up holding the rope, like this. But in reality, we received many requests like this: “Pastor, we need many members to gather, but because you preach different messages for first and second services, all the members attend both, so could you simply do first and second service with the same sermon—easily put, kirikai in Japanese—sharing the same content?” There were many such requests. Many people do it that way. If they do, it profits them in a financial way. They can secure a large number of people. I do not think that way.

Believers must truly enter into prayer from early dawn until night. We must teach the children. Because we do not know this, we cannot overcome those who keep the Sabbath. Among the Jews, if someone keeps the Sabbath carelessly, it is a very serious matter. In that way, the Jews have taken one-third of the Nobel Prizes in the field of science, where we have not received even one. So at least on the Lord’s Day, you must accomplish tremendous works in your life. You must teach this to your children. While we are worshiping, these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are taking place.

[ When ]
Then, mainly when—when do these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) take place?

[ 1. Good times ]
Sometimes we have good things happen. When we are joyful, when we are glad, even at such times, these works take place.

[ 2. Difficult times ]
But look at Moses today. When things were truly difficult, God accomplished even greater works. We said it was difficult, and Moses said it was difficult. But in reality, that time was the best time. It was a better time than when he was in the palace.

[ 3. Evangelism, missions ]
So he saw evangelism and missions in terms of time. That is why we hold this missions dedication worship today. While these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are taking place now, God works especially at these times (good times, difficult times, evangelism and missions). God worked in accordance with the timing of when the doors of evangelism and missions opened for all seven remnants. These things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are always happening.

[ How ]
Then, how does He mainly work? He mainly worked in three ways.

[ 1. Prophecy (Exodus 2:1–10) – fulfillment (Exodus 3:18) ]
When the prophecy, the covenant we have held to, is given to us, that Word is fulfilled. For example, Exodus 2:1–10 is the message he heard from his mother. This has been fulfilled today. It appeared to Moses. The passage we read today is when Moses was at Horeb Mount while the Israelites were perishing, and God appeared. Earlier, although we did not read it, He said, “I have seen the misery of My people.” Also at Horeb Mount He appeared in the midst of the fire. But when fire burns, it usually spreads like this. Instead, it did not go out and burned in one place continuously. While Moses was watching that, the voice of God came. “Moses, Moses. This is holy ground, so take off your sandals.” At that time, sandals were one of the symbols expressing one’s status. Even for us, when we do something important, we say, “We will do it with our bare feet.” “Take off your sandals.” Moses was shocked at that moment. Then He said, “Bring My people out. Go and tell him that you will offer the sacrifice of blood.” And what He clearly commanded was, “Tell the elders. And tell the people. And go and tell the king.” He will not listen, but “I am Jehovah.” This word (Exodus 2:1–10), what he heard in his childhood, has been fulfilled.

[ 2. Problems – answer ]
Also, what had been a problem in my past suddenly and one day comes to me as an answer.

[ 3. Crisis – life mission ]
Also, I thought I was facing a tremendous crisis, but God’s presence came at that time. Not just presence, but He gave a great life mission.

You must never lose hold of this. That is why you pray 24. So, with this covenant, throughout this week you must pray to confirm the blessings. We keep losing hold of things throughout the week, but during the week, answers are absolutely taking place, so we pray to confirm them. Why?

▣ Introduction_ Fulfillment
The covenant is absolutely fulfilled.

[ 80 years ]
Though it seemed as if it was not happening, today it was fulfilled after 80 years. Exactly. In his childhood, and now he is more than 80 years old, and he thought everything was over. It was not over. There remains an absolute plan for you. You must not listen to the voice of Satan. Especially for our elderly saints, elders, and deaconesses, there remains a special prayer plan. People do not know this. People do not know anything. In the Bible as well, God’s work was fulfilled through those who deeply prayed, like Hannah and Jethro. Right?

But because they do not know the value of prayer, because they do not know prayer, they think, “Old people, oh, those people…” This is the same thinking as unbelievers. Right? For unbelievers, what matters is youth, strength, earning money. Is that not so? When we began here in Busan, women with no power, deaconesses, prayed all night. They are still praying. Of course, members of the National Assembly are distinguished people, but what if only such people were in our church? Who would come and pray there? They would be too busy fighting. Still, I am thankful to our Elder Choi Jong-hwan here, because when he heard that I was encouraging our prayer teams, I said, “Yes, indeed, those who pray are different.” I had not even thought about it, but the answer came exactly.

1. Palace – knowledge
He spent 40 years in the palace. He learned many things. But that was not the answer. Right? In the palace, he learned much knowledge. He used his head a lot. He thought he would succeed. But it was not so.

2. Midian – Word, prayer
He became someone who had to flee to Midian. There, Moses restored the Word and prayer. It had to be so. In Midian, he restored the Word and prayer, and he received many things, blessings. He himself did not know, and you do not know it now, but you have received them. Yet this was not the answer either. One day, at eighty years of age, he saw it.

3. Wilderness – 40 years
God told him to go along the wilderness path for forty years. This is the real thing. So it does not mean that this time (palace) is unnecessary; it means it is not the answer. The voice given to Moses, as you know, resulted in what? The Bible records that there was no one who received more answers than Moses. So those who have no answer and those who are old must not think that way. You must completely change your thoughts. “I was in an extremely difficult state.” It is okay.

10 miracles
Through Moses, the 10 miracles took place. The whole world was astonished. Right? These 10 miracles are what astonished the world. First of all, there is a river that flows down from above. It is a famous river. The Nile River. Where does this Nile River flow into? It passes through Egypt. Then it flows down into Sudan. It is a famous river. It is Egypt’s god. There are many songs about the Nile River. Right? Moses performed a miracle and turned it into blood. The world was stunned. The king was shocked and said, “Forgive us. Pray for us,” in this way. By performing ten such miracles, he freed the Israelites and sent them out.

Ark of the covenant
On their way, there came a time when the Israelites were in a state of starving to death. God sent manna and quail. As a memorial, they put manna into a jar. On the way, the Israelites were shaken. The majority of them were shaken. Do not worry. The covenant does not change. At that time, He gave them the Word carved on stone tablets that would never disappear. Some people think, “What is so important about worship?” When they said that, Aaron’s staff, which led the worship, was stuck into the ground and it budded. They kept that. That is what is called the “ark of the covenant.” Wherever that ark of the covenant went, works arose. All of that was the answer through Moses.

Three feasts
And He gave them the eternal promise. Salvation. It is the Passover. The work of the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the Pentecost. The background of the throne. It is the Feast of Ingathering. These three feasts. Truly amazing. All of this was through Moses.

Tabernacle
Why do we build and prepare the temple? It is the tabernacle movement. The tabernacle, importantly, had three courtyards. You must remember this. In the tabernacle, they did not extinguish the 24-hour fire. This is important. Why are the servants of the Lord precious? They kept the 24-hour fire burning and stayed on standby. On their garments they engraved the names of the twelve tribes and prayed. That garment is called the “ephod.”

All of these (10 miracles, ark of the covenant, three feasts, tabernacle) came out entirely through Moses. And it did not end there.

(Deuteronomy 6:4–9)
“Pass these truths on to the next generation.” What will you give to your children? To what extent did He tell them? “Let them tie it on their foreheads. Let them bind it on their wrists. Put it on the walls so they can see it. Let them see it even while running. Let them see it even while lying down.” These are very important words. Imprint it so that they completely triumph.

▣ Main Message
All of this has appeared for you today (in the opening and introduction), has it not?

1. God + my covenant
When God’s covenant and my covenant are aligned, works begin.

2. Direction + my plan
When God’s direction becomes my plan, works occur. No matter what, when God’s direction becomes my plan, works take place. Do not be discouraged. Do not listen to what people say.

3. Goal + my life
When God’s goal becomes my life, works take place.

1. God + my covenant

  1. Horeb Mount
    This is the confession at Horeb Mount. Even at that time, this (the alignment of God’s covenant and my covenant) had not yet taken place.
  2. Exodus 3:18–20
    He even said, “Go and offer a sacrifice of blood. I will be with you with My mighty hand.” But it still did not align. “I cannot do it. I cannot.”
  3. Exodus 4:24
    In Exodus 4:24, God tried to call Moses away. At that time he finally said, “Ah.”

When I went to Japan, Missionary Kang Myeong-ju had come back from the brink of death with cancer. When I went, he came to the airport to greet me. While we were talking about various things, he said this: “When I stood before death, nothing helped.” That is true. It is the word of someone who experienced it. It is an important word. “When I stood before death, nothing helped.” Only the gospel helps. Apart from God being with us, there is no way.

2. Direction + my plan

  1. Pillar of fire, pillar of cloud
    When God’s direction becomes my plan, God does not work in a small way. When it was cold at night, He protected them with a pillar of fire, and when it was hot during the day, with a pillar of cloud. Why? Because the direction was aligned.
  2. Exodus 14:19
    In Exodus 14:19, He sent the angel of the Lord to go before them and guard them from behind. Do not be discouraged, but pray.
  3. Center
    At that time, the entire center was the tabernacle. Even the direction of their homes was toward the tabernacle. Their prayer was the tabernacle. In this way, they began to receive answers.

3. Goal + my life
And God has a goal. When that becomes my life, from that time on, other things happen. Three things are fulfilled.

  1. Exodus
    Exodus is God’s plan, no matter what anyone says. You come to see this.
  2. Canaan
    No matter how many difficult things occur in the wilderness, entering Canaan is God’s plan. No matter what anyone says. Why is that?
  3. World evangelization
    “Go there and do world evangelization.” This is God’s plan. You must absolutely hold to this covenant.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Paul ‧ team ]
Now, as we continued doing this covenant, it kept being cut off, and finally someone appeared who properly fulfilled it. Right? Who is that? It is Paul and his team. Paul mainly fulfilled this covenant, and he went to seek the sick. He went to the sick, and you must hold this covenant. Sick people, do not be discouraged; there are three things you must do first.

1. Acts 13:1–4, 16:6–10, 19:1–7
Acts 13:1–4. He did this first. What did he do? He received the perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit. Nothing else works. He experienced the perfect working of the Holy Spirit. Even if the doors were shut, it was fine. He came to know the perfect turning point. Before going out on missions, he was able to experience the very works that had taken place in the Mark’s upper room. Sick people, do not be discouraged; do healing breathing 24, morning, noon, and evening, while continually praying. Do not worry. You must experience this.

2. Acts 13:5–12, 16:16–18, 19:8–20
Then amazing things happened. The darkness was completely broken. Evil spirits were cast out, and the works of healing came upon those possessed by evil spirits. Incurable diseases that doctors could not heal began to be healed. This is missions. Finally, what happened?

3. Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24
“You must also testify in Rome.” Yes. Because there are 237 nations and 5000 tribes there. “Take courage. You must also testify in Rome.” Paul boarded a ship to go to Rome to stand trial. The name of that ship was the “Alexandrian ship.” As that ship was going, Paul, being a man of prayer, said that because they would meet a storm and die, they should stay there for a time and then leave. No one listened to that word. The captain said that it was nonsense. The owner of the ship also. The centurion who was in charge of leading them, whose name was Julius, felt uneasy. When he asked the owner, he said it was not true. When he asked the captain who was steering the ship, the captain said it would be fine. This explains the world today. As the ship went, it met a storm. Moreover, it met a typhoon. Everyone was about to die. For fourteen days they met the typhoon. It was so severe that day and night could not be distinguished. It was so severe that they did not know how many days had passed. It became like that. At that time, God spoke. “Last night, the angel of Jehovah stood by me and said…” What did he say? “Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.” Yes.

As long as you still have your calling remaining, there is no one who can block you. As long as our church has its calling, there is no one who can block it. There is no one who can block your posterity. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that this week will be a week of receiving great grace. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You that even now is the time when the covenant is being fulfilled. Let us confirm many answers this week. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
