Why Do Believers Wander?

Philippians 1:6. Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Many unbelievers are walking the broad road that leads to eternal destruction. Why? Because they do not know Jesus, the Savior. They live separated from the life of God, blind to the truth, and bound by sin and death. But here is a sobering truth: even many believers wander aimlessly through life—not because they have not heard of Jesus, but because they do not truly know Jesus as the Christ. They acknowledge Him with their lips but fail to grasp the fullness of who He is and what He has accomplished for them. As a result, they live unaware of the life, power, and authority they have already received through Him.

Because they do not see Christ clearly, they live in ways that grieve and quench the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30 and 1 Thessalonians 5:19). They do what the Holy Spirit does not desire and ignore what the Spirit prompts them to do. Their thoughts and actions are guided more by human reasoning, emotion, and worldly standards than by the Spirit of God. This is not the life we were meant to live. Scripture tells us, “For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14). Yet many believers are not led—they are stuck, confused, or misled.

This is why so many live no differently from those in the world. Their worries mirror those of the unbelieving: what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. Jesus directly addresses this, calling us to seek first the kingdom of God (Matthew 6:31). But instead, many Christians chase after material concerns and temporary satisfactions. It is a tragic condition—the people of God living with the mindset of the world.

Another reason believers wander is that they lose heart when answers to prayer are delayed. When God doesn’t move according to their timeline, doubt creeps in. Yet Scripture assures us in Philippians 1:6 that “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Still, when situations don’t change and prayers seem unanswered, anxiety begins to take hold. Even Abraham, the father of faith, began to waver after waiting 25 years for God’s promise of a son. His story is a reminder that waiting on God’s timing by faith is crucial in our covenant journey.

Many believers also live without true assurance. Some cling to false assurances based on their own standards or feelings, while others drift through life with no assurance at all. They try to find confidence in their works, emotions, or the opinions of others, but anything apart from Christ as the source of assurance will lead only to confusion and insecurity. Jesus alone is the anchor of our soul, firm and secure (Hebrews 6:19). Without assurance rooted in God’s unchanging truth, believers fall into religious performance, legalism, or self-effort, hoping to feel accepted. This opens the door to the enemy, who prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour (1 Peter 5:8). Without the certainty of God’s perfect love, fear takes root—fear of judgment, failure, and condemnation. But perfect love casts out fear, for fear has to do with punishment (1 John 4:18).

The grace of God has saved you. So stop wandering. You are no longer lost—you are found. You are no longer dead—you are alive in Christ. Make it your daily declaration: “I am a child of God, and I possess eternal life.” This is not wishful thinking or self-made affirmation—it is the unchanging truth: “And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. He who has the Son has life… I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.” (1 John 5:11-13). Let this truth anchor your identity and confidence each day. You are not trying to earn eternal life—you already have it because you are in Christ. Let this assurance shape your thoughts, your prayers, and your walk with God.

Stand on this truth when you pray: “God hears and answers my prayer when I pray in Jesus’ name,” as Jesus promised, “If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.” (John 14:14). This is the unshakable foundation of our confidence in prayer. When you come before the Father in the name of Jesus—trusting in His finished work, His righteousness, and His authority—you can pray with boldness, knowing that heaven is listening and that your prayer will not return void.

Let your heart remain unshaken when trials or temptations come your way. Declare with unwavering faith: “My True King Jesus has overcome the world and now lives in me. I will stand victorious in every circumstance.” This is not just positive thinking—it is a guaranteed truth backed by the Word of God, assuring us, “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” (1 Corinthians 10:13). Because Jesus dwells within you—the One who conquered sin, Satan, and hell—you are never alone in your battles. His victory is your victory. His strength is your strength. No trial is too great, and no temptation is too strong, for the Spirit of God lives in you. Stand firm, knowing that in Him, you are more than a conqueror.

When guilt and shame try to take hold of your heart, do not remain silent—confront the lies of the enemy with boldness and truth. Declare with confidence: “My True Priest Jesus died on the cross, breaking the power of sin and every generational curse. He lives in me, and I declare my freedom from the law of sin and death.” This is not a mere statement—it is a spiritual weapon grounded in the finished work of Christ. Mark 10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Jesus gave His life as a ransom to redeem you completely—spirit, soul, and body. His death shattered the grip of sin, and His resurrection secured your freedom. In Him, every curse is broken, every accusation is silenced, and every chain is loosed. So reject condemnation, silence shame, and walk in the liberty that is yours in Christ Jesus.

And continue pressing forward in hope, remembering the final promise of your True Prophet, Jesus: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20). This is not a passing reassurance—it is an eternal covenant spoken by the One who cannot lie. Jesus, your Prophet who speaks the perfect will of God, has promised His abiding presence through every season, every battle, and every unknown. You are never forsaken, never forgotten, and never walking alone. His Spirit walks with you, guides you, strengthens you, and surrounds you. Let this promise fuel your perseverance and sustain your joy. The One who began a good work in you is faithful to carry it to completion—and He will be with you every step of the way, until the very end.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for finding me in Christ. I thank You that I am no longer wandering. I choose to hold fast to Your eternal promises, not to my fleeting thoughts or wavering ways. Lead me daily by Your Spirit and root me deeply in the finished work of Christ. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

How Can We Receive Answers to Prayer?

May 25, 2025
Pastor Ryu Kwang-Su

Judges 21:25. In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.

When I think about life, I realize there are small joys we all experience—like passing an exam or getting a driver’s license. I still remember how good I felt the day I got mine, but that feeling faded quickly. Even big milestones like buying a car or a house bring happiness for a few days at best. But there’s one thing I absolutely must stress: the experience of God answering your prayers.

This is not a luxury—it’s essential. I’ve seen it in real life. I’ve seen the children of mothers who never ceased praying grow up with blessing. I’ve seen churches pastored by people of prayer thrive. I’ve seen entire family lines blessed because of one praying father. So I can tell you confidently: you must experience this for yourself.

But here’s the sad reality—about 99% of people live without really receiving answers. They may not say it aloud, but I can see it in their lives. They’re not living like unbelievers—they’re living worse, trapped in struggle without clear answers. And when prayer goes unanswered, deep spiritual problems follow. Spiritual problems don’t discriminate; they can hit anyone. But I’ve noticed that people who know God answers prayer see things differently. They live differently.

That’s why I won’t make this complicated today. I want to go straight to the point: you must receive answers.

First, you must become a person who has the power of prayer. Think about it: if you had true prayer power, what could stop you? If your children had prayer power, they would be fine wherever they go. If you yourself had it, no situation could overwhelm you. That’s why this is urgent—you must have this power.

Looking at Scripture, we see how Israel suffered under the Philistines during the time of the Judges. They had been set free from Egypt, but they failed over and over. We admire Gideon and his 300 warriors, but if you read carefully, you’ll see that wasn’t a true victory in human terms. God chose 300 cowards—not elite warriors—because He wanted to show that He was the one fighting for them. Even so, Israel suffered. Why? Because they lacked real faith and real prayer.

Then why don’t we receive answers? It’s simple. Judges 21:25 says, “Everyone did as they saw fit.” That’s it. People live according to their own thoughts, not by God’s.

Let me explain. The moment you think without praying, you’ve already fallen into Genesis 3: self-centeredness, separation from God. Right now, some of you are probably distracted even during worship, thinking about your own problems. That’s exactly when you fall into the trap of relying on your own thoughts. This is why prayers go unanswered.

There’s plenty of biblical evidence. Look at Joseph’s brothers—they lived by their own thoughts. Instead of trusting God’s plan, they grew jealous of Joseph. They thought, “Why does our father love Joseph more?” They didn’t see the bigger picture. As a result, they lived bitter lives, eventually having to rely on Joseph for food.

Or look at the Israelites in the wilderness. They complained, wanting to return to Egypt. They thought they had it better there, forgetting that Egypt was slavery. They never received true answers; instead, they perished in the desert.

Even King Solomon fell. Blessed beyond measure, he began to think he could strengthen his kingdom by marrying foreign women for political alliances. But those women brought idolatry into Israel, and soon the kingdom was divided and ruined. It was a disaster that started because Solomon trusted his own wisdom rather than God’s word.

And it didn’t end there. Assyria invaded the northern kingdom, enslaving the Israelites. Later, Babylon destroyed Jerusalem and carried the people of Judah into exile. This repeated cycle of failure happened because “everyone did as they saw fit.” They trusted their own judgment instead of seeking God’s will.

So how do we receive answers to prayer? The key is simple but profound: pray as God sees fit. Prayer is not complicated; it’s spiritual science. Even new believers can do this. Don’t pray according to your emotions or logic—pray according to God’s will. Ask, “What is God’s view? What is God’s plan in this situation?” This simple shift flips the entire spiritual realm.

From my experience and study, one person holding onto God’s covenant is enough. Think about Joseph again. Despite being sold into slavery and imprisoned, Joseph saw everything through the lens of God’s covenant—world evangelization. That’s why he never despaired. Becoming a slave and then a prisoner wasn’t a setback; it was part of God’s process. Joseph even stood before Pharaoh and said, “I can’t interpret your dream, but God will reveal it.” That’s the heart of true prayer—seeing and depending on God, not yourself.

Jochebed, Moses’ mother, faced an impossible situation. Yet instead of despairing, she saw through God’s plan. That’s how Moses was preserved and prepared to deliver Israel. If you see your hardships as the path to God’s plan, everything changes.

Hannah, too, began by praying for a son for herself, but her prayer matured. She shifted to seeking a Nazirite for God’s kingdom—and through that prayer, Samuel was born, and Israel’s spiritual landscape changed.

Isaiah stood alone and overturned empires because he held onto God’s covenant. Today, I urge you to do the same: don’t view life through your eyes—view it through God’s.

Second, one person who knows God’s method is enough. God has already shown us His method: the three feasts—Passover, Pentecost, and Ingathering—representing salvation, the Holy Spirit’s power, and our heavenly background. Those who know and center their lives on this are aligned with God’s method.

That’s why the Israelites built the tabernacle, a place of 24-hour prayer and worship. Daniel understood this; he prayed three times a day facing the temple, no matter the cost. Prayer aligned with God’s method opens the way.

The Ark of the Covenant also shows God’s method—holding the unchanging Word, God’s provision (manna), and God’s life-giving power (Aaron’s budding staff). One person who understands this mystery can change everything.

Finally, one person who knows the background God gives is enough. The throne of God is our true background—the power, guidance, and protection we rely on. Jesus taught us to seek first the kingdom of God, not to worry about our daily needs. That’s our first answer—God’s kingdom reigning in our lives.

The early church held onto this truth even when persecuted. They didn’t pray for easy lives; they prayed for the kingdom of God to come. And it did.

Throughout history, prayer has changed nations. Rome persecuted Christians for 250 years, yet the prayers of faithful believers eventually led to Christianity becoming the empire’s official religion under Constantine. That didn’t happen overnight; it was the fruit of countless unseen prayers.

In conclusion, I challenge you: prayer changes everything. It destroys darkness. It brings the power of the throne. It establishes the journey and guideposts God has set for you. I’ve seen it in my life—through hardship and perseverance—and I’m here to tell you, your prayer can change the world.

Don’t ever be discouraged. Don’t look at your situation through human eyes. Pray through God’s eyes, walk in His plan, and experience the answers that only He can give.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you to begin this journey today.

Prayer. May God work to open our spiritual eyes. Do not let us be deceived. Let us taste the work of God by holding the mystery of the throne that moves the world. Let us become witnesses who save the age of global darkness. May the one person sitting here today save the field. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading

Message: Pastor Ryu Kwang-Soo
How Can We Receive Answers to Prayer?

▣ Introduction – Experiencing Answered Prayer
1. 99% don’t receive answers to prayer – Life is difficult, it feels like a futile struggle, and there are unspeakable spiritual problems.

2. But those who have the power of prayer – How they interpret every situation changes, so the answers change. No matter where they are or what situation comes, it’s okay.

3. Israel continued to suffer under the Philistines because they didn’t believe in God’s promise.

4. Reasons prayers are not answered – Judges 21:25: When everyone does as they see fit, they fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11.
1) The moment you think and worry without praying, you enter Genesis 3.
2) Evidence – Joseph’s brothers, the Israelites, and King Solomon acted according to their own thoughts; because they did not realize, Assyria and Babylon invaded.

5. The way to receive answers to prayer – “as God sees fit”
1) Prayer is a spiritual science.
2) You must see as God sees, seeking His will, what God desires, and through His perspective.
3) Just asking this one question can overturn the spiritual realm.

▣ Main Body
1. The prayer of one person who holds the covenant (God’s perspective, plan, absolute goal)
1) From the moment Joseph held onto the covenant of world evangelization, God’s work began – Joseph saw everything differently.
(1) Slave – the path to fulfilling God’s dream
(2) Prison – the path to success
(3) Governor – the path to world missions
2) Jochebed, who asked God’s plan during a crisis
3) Hannah, who saw the necessity of a Nazirite to testify of God’s work – Samuel (1 Samuel 3:19, 7:13–14, 16:13)
4) Isaiah, who realized this covenant, overturned Babylon
▷ When problems and answers come, we must ask God’s perspective.

2. The prayer of one person who knows God’s method
1) Centered on the three feasts –
(1) Passover (delivered from darkness through the blood of the Lamb),
(2) Feast of Ingathering (power of the throne),
(3) Pentecost (working of the Holy Spirit)
2) Centered on the tabernacle – 24-hour prayer (Daniel 6:10)
3) Centered on the Ark of the Covenant –
(1) The tablets of the Word (eternal),
(2) Jar of manna (life),
(3) Aaron’s budding staff (things that happen during worship and prayer)

3. The prayer of one person who knows the God-given background 
1) The throne – Build the bartizan of the throne. Go on that journey. Set up that guidepost.
2) The Kingdom of God – the first answer that comes
3) The works of the Kingdom of God

▣ Conclusion
1. Challenge the absolutely impossible. In an age of disaster, challenge the disasters to be removed. Prayer is about breaking the forces of darkness. Prayer is when the background of the throne comes upon you. Prayer is always answered. Rome was evangelized through the prayer of one person who held onto the gospel.

2. You must have the conviction that prayer changes the age. When you pray, the Seven Bartizans move. You can walk the journey of the throne. The guidepost of the throne is established.

3. Prayer is the start of receiving new strength and seeing God’s absolute plan.

Praise & Offering
We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!

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

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

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

Benediction
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

The Breath of Life of God and the Answer of 25

Genesis 2:7. Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being. 

The breath and the 25 answers given by God. What would happen if you never went to the hospital for a checkup in your life? Well, people used to live that way. In the past, people would only go to the hospital when they were so sick they were close to death. Also, what if you never once checked how your body is doing? There are many people like that. If something is said to be good for the body, they just eat it. What would happen if we lived out our faith life that way?

▣ Introduction — Time that revives me.
There are times when our remnants, throughout 12 years of study, never once have this kind of important time—God’s breath of life. What kind of time is it? The time that revives me is important.

1. Breath.
Today’s Scripture says “breath.” In Genesis 2:7, it says the first thing God did was to “breathe into his nostrils the breath of life.” It is the greatest blessing to mankind, yet to never do this even once—that’s truly, in a way, a miracle.

2. The Holy Spirit.
And God works by the Holy Spirit—though similar words, it is different.

3. The Throne.
The blessing of the throne coming upon us is extremely important. From now on, you must take this seriously. If one day you break down, there’s no way back. So, when I meet people, I find they have no interest in this (breath, Holy Spirit, throne). Isn’t that strange?

I saw this when I was young. We had a store at home, so people would come to buy things. When people came, they bought and left. But when church people came, they would talk for over an hour. Some ladies would talk for three hours. I noticed, even though I was young, that my mother found this very difficult. Because they kept coming and talking. And most of what they talked about had nothing to do with this (breath, Holy Spirit, throne). So they couldn’t live the abundant life Jesus promised. At the time, we had quite a few church members, but later on, with time, our family was the only one still left in the church. Everyone else left. Whenever something happened, they would quit. They weren’t real believers. If they moved, they quit. When tested, they quit.

You must do this. How precious you are! God saved you and said He breathed His breath into you, but you lose all of this (breath, Holy Spirit, throne) and keep doing something else instead? That’s truly strange. In a way, what happens around you should not affect you.  Only then can you revive it. For example, how often do married couples not get along and struggle? It’s very common. Also, in our families, among relatives, there’s so much discord in our lives. If you try to deal with all these problems, you’ll only complicate things. You must always enjoy this blessing (breath, Holy Spirit, throne).

▣ Main 
What must we do? The Word. God breathed breath through His Word.  The Holy Spirit. It’s not just simple words. How important it is! The Holy Spirit breathed the breath of life. And prayer that revives both me and others.

1. The Word
1) Genesis 1:1 (Creation)
What kind of Word is it? It is the Word of creation. So we know this. People attend worship, participate in group Bible study, and small group meetings. But something remains at the end, the words they say that seem necessary. These are certainly not the Word. This must be corrected.

When we go to the hospital for a checkup, the doctor says, “You should be cautious about this.” We need to listen. If someone responds with “Who do you think you are?” what happens then? If a doctor says, “It looks like you may have cancer. We need to begin treatment,” the response should be, “Oh, is that so?” But if someone starts cursing the doctor and says, “Who are you to tell me that!”—that’s wrong. Physically, people don’t act that way, but spiritually, many do.

This Word is the Word of creation. When you understand this, your Christian walk becomes very easy. Victory over complicated relationships and situations is difficult. But if you hold on to this power (breath, Holy Spirit, throne), you will revive others, you, and everyone.

2) Genesis 1:3 (Light)
Genesis 1:3 says God shone light and created it through the Word. Isn’t that amazing?

3) John 1:11-12
So God sent Jesus to us as the light. “To those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

4) Ezekiel 37:1-10
God took Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones. Dry bones mean they’re not even corpses—they’ve dried completely. It means “impossibility.” That’s what happened to Israel. So God asked, “Can these bones live?” Ezekiel didn’t say they could or couldn’t. He said something very important: “Sovereign Lord, You alone know.” Then God said, “Prophesy to the bones.” Then the bones came to life.

5) Hebrews 4:12
Hebrews 4:12 says, “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Our spirit, soul, and marrow—this means the Word can revive our soul and body. We must enjoy the blessing of the Word.

I’m not trying to look down on others, but no matter how great people like politicians are, what they think has nothing to do with this blessing. In our government and national assembly, they never think that this blessing is necessary. That’s why Scripture says God established you as watchmen.  Watchmen only need to protect what God gives. Just shine the light.

2. The Holy Spirit
1) Genesis 2:7
Once again, in Genesis 2:7, God breathed into man the breath of life. Also in Ezekiel 37:1-10, to the bones He said, “Prophesy to the breath.” Why does He say to prophesy the Word and the breath? Because we do not have it, so we must deliver what belongs to God.

2) John 20:22
“Jesus breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.’” This invisible Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God for us—it becomes the incredible answer. Because people don’t understand this, they follow unbelievers. Look at the people who influenced the world—they’re all possessed by something. So they always end up worshipping idols. As a result, they perish and the world perishes too. Why? Because they hold onto the wrong things. Yet, they still have power. That’s the problem.

3) 1 Corinthians 12:13
“We were all baptized by one Spirit.”

4) Acts 1:8
Jesus also said at the end, not just “When the Spirit comes upon you,” but “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” If you work hard in business, it will go well, right? If you run harder than others, you’ll do better, right? But Jesus wasn’t talking about that. Isn’t it about world evangelization? That’s what He meant. It’s not about eating well and dying peacefully ain your sleep. That’s not what He said. If that were the case, He wouldn’t need to use the word “only.” Your circumstances are hard, right? If something else worked, okay—but it doesn’t. That’s why He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” We can’t do it ourselves. That’s why He said this. When we pray with this blessing, both we and others are revived.

3. Prayer 3·9·3.
The perfect answer can be described as 3·9·3. The Triune God is with us. When the blessing of the throne comes, you transcend time and space and save the 237 nations. This blessing comes into our souls, our lives, and our living. That’s why we receive the three unprecedented-and-never-repeated answers. That’s the blessing of the throne. It’s in the Bible. I wrote it like this to make it easier for you to understand, but it’s in the Bible. What’s next? The three-age blessing that saves the past, present, future, me, the field, and the future. This is prayer.

1) Enjoy and Deliver.
What should you do with this? Accept it and deliver it. Enjoy and deliver this blessing. How grateful we are. If you had to suffer and achieve it, it would be hard. If it were like passing a bar exam, most people here would fail. Right? Maybe a few would pass. But that’s not the gospel. The gospel is not that. It’s to enjoy and deliver this blessing.

2) Identity – Authority
And what’s more amazing is that He gave us identity. You are not a child of the devil. Your identity is different. You are not a child doomed to perish in hell—you belong to God. So enjoy and deliver the authority with that identity. Try this prayer. As things arise around you, pray using that authority.

3) 1·3·8
Eventually, if you enjoy this blessing, you will come to the conclusion: Christ, the Kingdom of God, only the Holy Spirit.
24·25·Eternity
When do you enjoy this blessing? There’s no specific time. It’s 24. Then comes the answer that makes your studies, work, and business save others. That’s 25. When it’s at that level, world evangelization is possible. Of course. You must believe. That’s what prayer is. With this, your life does not simply end. Many say death is the end, but no. It remains forever. Your devotion to the church for the next generation and evangelism remains forever. Preaching the gospel to people groups may seem small, but the blessing remains forever.
Only·Uniqueness·Re-Creation
At this point, answers come: Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation that no one else can receive.
237·Healing·Summit
Then what follows? When this happens, you begin to see the 237 nations. It happens naturally. If you haven’t received the answer, you can’t see it. You’ll enjoy the answer of healing them and raising the next generation as summits. Because you are entitled to receive God’s breath, you receive the answers of 25.

I think unbelievers are bound to worship idols. What else can they do? They have no other way. Unbelievers doing rituals through shamans? Of course. What else can they do? They struggle to gain some kind of power, though it doesn’t solve anything. But we are not at that level. The answers of 25. \

▣ Conclusion – Journey.
Ultimately, you walk the journey of the remnant, the pilgrim’s journey, the conqueror’s journey. Right? You will remain. That’s how you save others. The journey of the remnant. Even if it feels difficult, it’s not. The pilgrim’s journey. Ultimately, you will conquer darkness.
[Meditation] [Healing] [Summit]
That’s why you must do the holy meditation, healing, and summit movements. You must have this (meditation) time. As Pascal said last week, he was a theologian and scholar. “If you do not have this (meditation) time, your remaining life will be miserable.” That’s why we do this holy meditation, healing, summit movements. Now, start praying for the following:

1. Three-Day Weekend Age
Prepare for the Three-Day Weekend Age to enjoy this blessing.
2. Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, Early Morning.
When you come on Sundays, Wednesdays, Fridays, or even for early morning prayer, don’t just come—follow the flow of God’s Word to enjoy the answer.
3. Personal System
You must create a personal system to enjoy this blessing. Whether you put it into practice or not, you must go through the five things. Practice comes after. Always think about it.

1) Today’s Prayer
What is today’s prayer? You must think the moment you open your eyes. That’s basically it. What is today’s prayer?
2) Today’s Word
The moment you open your eyes, what is today’s Word? This is important. What grips you when you open your eyes? That’s everything. If you feel happy the moment you wake up, that’s something else. If worries rush in when you wake up, that’s something else. If prayer begins the moment you wake up. What is today’s Word?
3) Today’s Evangelism
Whether you go out or not, you must think. What is today’s evangelism? “Ah, I’ll meet someone today—what should I deliver?” I used to hand out books. Sunday bulletins work too. It’s about delivering. You must think about this.
4) Today’s Work
Remnants—what is today’s study? It’s not about doing well—define it. Today’s business—confirm it.
5) Today’s Future
Lastly, what must you do? Today’s future. Don’t suddenly think about it—think about it daily. The future. Prepare for the future. If you do, world evangelization becomes easy.

Because we must teach this (conclusion) to the remnants, our church must open the Three-Day Weekend Age. Don’t just worship casually. Use Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, early morning prayer well. Ultimately, what is it? It’s about enabling individuals to do this on their own.

For example, your children go overseas, but they do this (personal system). That’s it. That’s what this means. Otherwise, what happens? Kids get bored. They don’t know what to do with their time. But if they do this (personal system), they’re peaceful yet busy. If not, they fall into games. Games are okay, but being addicted is a different story. What will you do? Most end up like that.

Prepare a church that can do this (conclusion). Then, whether we receive answers or not, will God not answer? He surely will. That’s why you must have this schedule. This week, if you meet a disciple, you must be able to give a brief testimony about this. In that precious time, open your mouth not for gossip but to deliver the Word. But many talk about their scars in those precious moments, and those scars deepen. You may say, “I feel better after sharing,” but that’s just physical. Spiritually, it becomes more problematic. People don’t know this. “I cried because it was so hard, and I feel better.” That’s physical. Spiritually, it worsens. Why do such foolish things?

With God’s power, we believe in and share Him. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing will always overflow in your life. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, thank You. Today again, grant us new grace. Grant us new strength. Let us see the new covenant. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

A Life with God

Revelation 3:20. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Mankind was uniquely created to be with God (Genesis 1:27; 2:7). Only in fellowship with Him can we find true peace, rest, and happiness. God also blessed us to enjoy Him (Genesis 1:28). But when sin entered the world, it brought death to all: “As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins” (Ephesians 2:1). Separated from God and living under the power of the devil, humanity came under a permanent curse (Acts 10:38).

Yet, compelled by His unfathomable love, God sent His one and only Son: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16). Jesus came as the True King to destroy the works of the devil. He came as the True Priest to break the curse that bound us. He came as the True Prophet to rescue us from the shadow of hell.

Jesus did not have to come—but He did, out of infinite love. He did not have to die—but He did, because it was the only way to change our eternal destiny. He rose from the dead, crushing the power of death, hell, and Satan once for all. Though we didn’t deserve His mercy, God poured out His grace. On the cross, Jesus dealt with every problem—past, present, and future.

God loves you more than you can imagine. He longs to give you the blessing of salvation—the only way to be with Him: “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12). When you sincerely believe and receive Jesus as the Christ, He gives you the authority to become a child of God.

Jesus is standing at the door and knocking. If you hear His voice and open the door, He will come in and eat with you, and you with Him. He will enter your life and dwell with you forever. When He comes, He will set you free from the background of hell and bring you into His kingdom (Colossians 1:13). He will give you the right to come boldly before God’s throne to receive mercy and find grace (Hebrews 4:16).

You will begin a new life with Christ. As a sign of His love and reconciliation, He will dine with you as an intimate and faithful friend. You and Jesus will feast together each day, enjoying the abundance of His kingdom. God will prepare a table before your enemy, the devil (Psalm 23:5).

What does it mean for Christ to be with you? It is not merely accepting His teachings or admiring His life. It is a new spiritual birth: “Jesus answered, ‘Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit’” (John 3:5). When you open your heart and invite Jesus as your King, the Holy Spirit will come upon you (John 14:16–17, 26). Not only that, but you will also be empowered by the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). When you are filled with the Spirit’s power, you will overcome your weaknesses, the world, and Satan. God will open doors in your life so that you may stand as a witness of Christ.

The moment you believe that Jesus is the Christ—the Anointed One—God will give you an anointing from the Holy One, and you will know the truth (1 John 2:20). Just as Jesus was anointed as the True King, you will be anointed with the authority of a king to demolish Satan’s strongholds where people are trapped. Just as Jesus was anointed as the True Priest, you will receive the priestly anointing to break the curses and disasters brought on by sin. Just as Jesus was anointed as the True Prophet, you will receive the prophetic anointing to proclaim the goodness of God and lead people out of darkness into His wonderful light.

Scripture confirms these incredible blessings: “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9). So hold firmly to the promise of God. When the Holy Spirit comes, He will lead you, sanctify you, and guide you by the Word (John 14:26–27). The Word of God is living and active, able to heal your soul, spirit, heart, mind, and even your body (Hebrews 4:12).

The Word of God will revive your soul (Psalm 119:25). When you confess your sins, the Holy Spirit will guide you in the way of righteousness (Psalm 66:18; Galatians 5:16–18). As you live for God, seeking His kingdom and His righteousness, you will see His power at work in your life.

Remember, Satan will try to hinder you from experiencing the blessings God has prepared for you. He will use fear, doubt, and temptation to pull you away from God’s truth. But you don’t need to be afraid—stand firm and resist him in the name of Jesus, and he will flee from you. The power of Christ is greater than any scheme of the enemy (James 4:7).

Begin a new life with God now by inviting Jesus the Christ into your heart. Make Him Lord of your life, and He will lead you into blessings greater than you have ever imagined.

Prayer. Father, I thank You for inviting me into life with You. I now open my heart to receive Your Son Jesus as my Savior and Lord. Thank You for being with me through Your Spirit. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Image of God and the Answer of 25

Genesis 1:26-27. Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”

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

▣ Introduction – The 7 Journeys
It would be so good if you could meditate deeply on one of the 7 journeys each day. Isn’t the most important thing for you the answer to prayer? Then know that these 7 journeys did not come about randomly but were discovered through the entire field of evangelism in the Bible, so they are important to consider. At the very least, you should do it once a week. Or devote one Sunday to it properly. On Sundays, it is especially necessary to put aside other events and go deep into the Word and take time to organize and reflect.

1. Answer
When you do this, truly important answers come. Accurate answers come as evidence that you have seen the Word correctly and deeply.

2. Unprecedented-and-never-again
These aren’t just any answers, but unprecedented answers that others may not understand. Yet we tend to miss out on these and chase after other things—that’s a loss. You are important, so you must see the answers God gives you.

3. God’s Plan
At this point, God’s plan becomes visible.

4. Me, Mine, and My Field
Then finally, you begin to see the person God created you to be, what is truly yours, and the field God prepared for you. Even a few minutes meditating on the Word brings answers. You’ve experienced it, right? Sometimes you just happen to receive grace—that may seem small, but it impacts your entire life. Even when you gain insight during a sermon, that too has an effect. So if you put into practice this introductory part either on Sundays or daily in prayer, change will naturally occur. You must do this. In my case, I would say it’s a blessing—I’m always delivering messages, so I end up seeing many things. I believe you will experience the same. If you find yourself in a position where you must constantly deliver messages, you’ll naturally encounter many spiritual truths.

5. The 62 Lifelong Points
The entire picture of the 62 lifelong points becomes visible at this stage. When the blessing described in this introduction is established, you will know what directions to take when incidents arise. Without it, you’ll be shaken this way and that depending on the situation. But if you have this answer in place, you’ll gain the strength to face even major problems. It’s extremely important. So I encourage you to try it. Going through the entire Bible may feel vague in some ways, so use the 7 journeys—it’s a summary.

The first journey is the mystery of the Triune God being with you. That’s fundamental. Then, there are the 10 mysteries of thriving anywhere. It’s actually difficult to meditate on all 10 in a single day, so take one at a time and go deep. What’s next? There are the 10 platforms that keep you unshaken under any circumstances. Then you begin to have conviction. The 5 assurances. The 9 flows that allow you to prevail over any situation. When you understand all of these, your 62 life points come into view. From that point on, the blessings of the throne you’ve only heard about in Scripture begin to come upon you. You can go deep into each of these journeys one by one.

▣ Main Message

1. Recovering Yourself (Restoring with the Gospel)
So the first thing is recovering yourself. What does it mean to recover the true you? You must recover with the gospel. If you try to recover with anything else, it only brings suffering. It must be the gospel. In some cases, if remnants go out into the world before being restored by the gospel, they become very confused and struggle. For example, before becoming a doctor, if I have not firmly rooted myself in the gospel, then studying and stepping into the field will be very difficult. There is no time. It often turns out that way. Or someone studies to the point of exhaustion and becomes a judge, but if they are not firmly rooted in the gospel and prayer, the workload is overwhelming. There are so many complex cases. Some cases come with a stack of files over 50 cm high that must be read, and someone’s life depends on it. You can’t ignore it. There’s no time. That’s why you must quickly be restored by the gospel.

1) Genesis 1:27
That is precisely the image of God in Genesis 1:27—recovering that. A fish taken out of water is already dead. People in the raw fish business know that wild-caught fish die within three days. Likewise, a flower cut for arrangement is already dead. How much more so for a person who has lost the image of God? They are no better than animals—just living to eat and survive. What a loss.

2) Genesis 3:4–5, Genesis 1:2
In Genesis 3:4–5, Satan took the image of God away from us. As a result, we reverted to Genesis 1:2—darkness, emptiness, and chaos. Don’t we often say, “It’s pitch black ahead”—darkness. “No matter what I do, it’s meaningless”—emptiness. “What do I do now?”—chaos. That’s what Genesis 1:2 is. We must escape it quickly.

3) Genesis 3:15
In Genesis 3:15, God gave us a way to restore immediately. Because Genesis 3:4–5 keeps trying to destroy you, God quickly provided the answer. That’s why salvation is not by works but by faith—believing in what God has given. Yet many believers still can’t distinguish between faith and works in receiving the gospel.

2. Concentration (The First Journey)
Now, reviving myself through concentration means going on the first journey, following the Word step by step—how thankful we should be.

1) Genesis 1:3
Restore the light in Genesis 1:3.

2) Genesis 1:26
Also, Genesis 1:26 shows the Triune God working together—“Let us make man in our image.” The Triune God was already working.

3) Genesis 1:27, 2:7
This grace comes into you. “God gave life and breathed His spirit.” What greater blessing is there? If you enjoy this deeply on Sundays and every day, great answers will come. You have been given grace and are worthy of receiving such blessings. Then, naturally, the power of the throne begins to come. This is the image of God and the answer of 25.

3. Genesis 1:28 – Spiritual Masterpiece
From here on, it begins to appear. Genesis 1:28—“Subdue and rule”—that’s the true answer. Your children must study within this blessing for true spiritual masterpieces to emerge. Honestly, trying to study without this strength is extremely difficult. That’s why even among top-performing students, there are many spiritual problems. There’s no one to help or talk to. In America, many Harvard students are mentally broken, but no one talks about it—it’s very real. So, business and academics must also come from here. For our young adults, entering the workplace is not easy. But if you are equipped with this strength, things will be different. That’s what matters. This strength is invisible, so others neither know it nor can take it away. You don’t need to show it off at work or anywhere—it’s just yours.

1) Meditation Movement (3·6·11)
The three organizations have created the meditation movement—this is the problem. Even Christians don’t know that they’ve restored 3·6·11 (Genesis 3, 6, 11). It’s a revival of the movement that departs from God—the Nephilim movement, the Tower of Babel movement. It’s serious. Only we speak about this with urgency—nowhere else. It’s real. An American scholar heard a remnant talking about it and was shocked. “Where did you hear that?” It’s that serious. That professor even said, “I want to meet your pastor.” There are professors like that—it’s serious.

2) Holy Meditation Movement
That’s why we must restore this through the holy meditation movement. It’s a word you must hold onto. If you don’t experience it, you can’t pass it to the next generation. The secular meditation movement makes man the master; the holy movement makes God the master. Which is right? Meditation movement is the Nephilim movement; the holy movement is the Word movement. They are completely different.

3) 3·9·3
This leads to 3·9·3: the Triune God, the 9 blessings of the throne, and the 3 ages. You must naturally enjoy this. Why? You’re entitled to enjoy it. If you don’t, that’s strange. It’s normal for an idol worshiper not to know these blessings. But if you’re entitled to them and don’t enjoy them, that’s the real issue. A police officer not doing their job—that’s strange. Shouldn’t a police officer be doing police work? If they’re just wandering around with thieves, that’s absurd, and that’s harder to do.

▣ Conclusion – Prayer
At this point, we can draw a simple conclusion. In addition to deep meditation, everything—being here, sitting here, thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling—becomes prayer. It’s amazing. Everything you see becomes prayer. Though it seems simple, it has a tremendous impact. Something far better than incidental answers comes. Your imprint, root, and nature change when everything becomes prayer. That’s what matters.

Healing and Power
From this point on, two things come: healing and power. That’s the answer of all answers. Receiving this or that is important, but receiving God’s power—that’s the greatest answer. Stop listening to human voices and firmly hold to God’s Word. Remnants—whether you go to school or meet many people—receive broadly but quickly transcend it and hold to the answer.

When you go, answers will already be there. That’s the most important answer.
Joseph was sold as a slave—he went, and the answer was already there. If he had gone to prison because he stole, there wouldn’t be much of an answer. But he went to prison, though innocent—and the answer was there. This is very important.

So today, even if only on Sunday, begin to pray for this. The great answer of 25 will come upon you. Repeating the same words and concentrating are different. Repeating phrases mindlessly and true concentration are not the same. Even with the same words, concentration brings healing, power, and transformation.
Sometimes people with spiritual problems, feeling frustrated, go here and there. Some think if a pastor prays for them, it’ll help. Maybe that’s not bad—but if you slowly begin to enjoy this answer, it will naturally be resolved. Never forget that. I bless you in the name of the Lord that today will be a day of deep prayer with healing and power through concentration. Let us pray.

Prayer. Today again, may this be a day of blessing as You give us Your Word and let us hear the voice of heaven. Let us not stand before men but enjoy the power of the throne within the mystery of the Triune God. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

A Life Without God

Psalm 53:1-3.

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
    They are corrupt, doing abominable iniquity;
    there is none who does good.

2 God looks down from heaven
    on the children of man
to see if there are any who understand,
    who seek after God.

3 They have all fallen away;
    together they have become corrupt;
there is none who does good,
    not even one.

A life without God is no life at all. Anyone who continues to live without knowing God inevitably lives under the power of the devil, as Scripture says, “You belong to your father, the devil” (John 8:44). From the beginning, the devil has deceived humanity with false promises of happiness, hope, and a future.

People, caught in the devil’s traps and shaped by his patterns, end up living to fulfill his desires. Unknowingly, they become instruments of his will. They do not realize that the devil’s only intent is to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). Nothing anyone possesses or does can change their spiritual identity or eternal destiny on their own.

As a result, they neither worship God nor give Him thanks. Their thinking becomes futile, and their hearts dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they become fools (Psalm 53:1). Instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they turn to idols—images resembling people, birds, animals, and reptiles (Romans 1:21–23). Though God gave them authority to rule over creation, they have turned to worship what was meant to be ruled.

To fill their inner void—formlessness, emptiness, and darkness—they pursue idols of money, pleasure, and success, chasing after the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Even relationships are distorted: people begin to idolize others instead of truly loving them.

What they don’t realize is that these things are offered to demons, not to God. By engaging in idolatry, they become participants with demons (1 Corinthians 10:20), ultimately worshiping the devil himself (Matthew 4:8–9). Idolatry inevitably brings disaster, obsession, insecurity, and fear. That’s why God warns repeatedly against it (Exodus 20:3–5).

A life without God is weary, burdened, and restless. Nothing feels light or easy. People spend their entire lives trapped in the systems the devil has established (Acts 13, 16, 19). Along the way, they experience broken hearts and wounded minds, resulting in twisted personalities. Their lives become consumed by worldly obsessions and toxic thoughts—loneliness, sorrow, hatred, resentment, despair, and defeat.

These obsessions often lead to addiction, which ultimately controls the mind and results in various mental illnesses such as depression, suicidal thoughts, and panic disorders. Studies show that such mental afflictions are widespread, especially in developed nations like Japan, the United States, and throughout Europe. But modern science and medicine, while able to bring external changes, cannot address the spiritual root of these issues. Psychology and counseling fall short of providing a fundamental solution.

Spiritual, emotional, and mental problems often manifest as physical illness. Because of original sin, humanity is subject to all kinds of suffering and disease (Genesis 3:16–19). Living under Satan’s power leads to mysterious and unexplainable illnesses (Acts 8:4–8). Furthermore, the sins of parents can affect their children for generations (Exodus 20:4–5; 2 Samuel 12:15), and personal sins can bring serious illnesses as well (2 Kings 5:27; 2 Chronicles 21:12–19; 1 Corinthians 5:5).

These afflictions cannot be fully healed by conventional medicine. Though treatment may ease symptoms temporarily, the root cause remains. Some diseases are directly caused by Satan (Matthew 12:25–28; Mark 5:2–15; Mark 9:17; Luke 13:16; Ephesians 4:23–27). Thus, treatments—whether relying solely on medical procedures, religious rituals, or superstitions—can often worsen the condition (Matthew 12:43-45).

A life apart from God is to experience a foretaste of hell. Scripture makes it clear that hell is real. Jesus spoke of it often. Hell is a place prepared for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41), a lake of fire and burning sulfur (Revelation 21:8). Anyone whose name is not found in the Book of Life will be thrown into it (Revelation 20:15), where there is unending torment (Revelation 20:10).

Most terrifying of all, hell is a place where God’s grace and mercy no longer reach (Luke 16:24–26). Redemption is no longer possible, and no one can escape eternal judgment. From Adam’s time, all people have been born into this background of hell and are destined for it: “Just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment” (Hebrews 9:27).

Those who live without God spend their lives as children of the devil, trapped under the power of sin, death, and Satan. Spiritually, mentally, and physically, they suffer endlessly and are on a path toward eternal fire.

But the problem doesn’t end there. Scripture affirms that disasters and curses are passed down to future generations (Exodus 20:3–6). Spiritual inheritance is real. Parents who live under the devil’s power inevitably pass down the same struggles—if not worse—to their children. Their spiritual DNA, as well as their physical DNA, is inherited. Despite their best efforts to provide for their children, every spiritual, mental, and physical problem they carried will eventually surface in the next generation. This is a sobering spiritual reality.

Jesus Himself spoke of this: “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires…” (John 8:44). Every generation ends up deceived, trapped in Satan’s systems, and compelled to fulfill his will.

But thanks be to God, who sent His Son, Jesus, as the Christ! Jesus completed the work of the True King, setting us free from the power of Satan. He finished the work of the True Priest, removing all curses and disasters through His blood. He fulfilled the mission of the True Prophet, delivering us from the background of hell and opening a new and living way to God.

So hold fast to God’s covenant of the “offspring of the woman” (Genesis 3:15). Build the ark for yourself and others (Genesis 6:18). Sprinkle the blood of the Lamb over your life and those entrusted to your care (Exodus 3:18).

Live in the joy of Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14) and the full truth that Jesus is the Christ (Matthew 16:16). Let God’s Word dwell deeply in your spirit, soul, mind, and body (Deuteronomy 6:4–9), and let it bring true healing. You will rise as a thousand and a mighty nation to shine the light of the gospel to all nations (Isaiah 60:22).

Prayer. Father, I thank You for saving me from a life without knowing You. Because of Christ Jesus who lives in me, I now have a new life in You. Fill me with Your Spirit, that I may bring the power of the gospel to those still living without You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

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; on 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
Haggai 2:1-9

In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: 2 “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, 3 ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes? 4 Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, 5 according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not. 6 For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. 7 And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. 8 The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. 9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”

Those Who Pledged Their Lives

In the Bible, there were priests, prophets, and kings. But since those couldn’t bring the ultimate solution, God promised to send the true King, Prophet, and Priest. That is ‘the Christ.’ It is from here that the work of the Triune God begins to take place invisibly.

He first works by the power of the throne. The answer called ‘the kingdom of God’ begins to come. Visible answers start from this point on. The work of the kingdom of God—constantly praying for this is the life of faith. It is about enjoying (24), waiting (25), and challenging (eternity—Go to all peoples, to the ends of the earth) this blessing.

Then comes the answer of transcendence of time and space (237 nations, 5000 people groups). What must be confirmed is the unprecedented-and-never-again answer given only to you. When you seek what is rightful, necessary, and absolute, you can see it clearly.

Then you come to discover the value worth staking your life on. Apart from the gospel, it is absolutely impossible. “Those who pledged their lives” – they are the ones who discovered the value worth staking their lives on.

▣ Introduction – Important biblical terms
1. The remnant – Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 10:20–23, Zechariah 8:12
2. Sojourners – Philippians 3:20, Hebrews 11:13: those whose citizenship is in heaven
3. The scattered ones – They were taken into the great empires. To them God commanded the rebuilding of the temple.

▷ It is about establishing the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost that transcend time and space, and finding your mission (40 days). Pastors should form mission churches only for evangelism, while focusing on the covenant for 40 days.  The unprecedented-and-never-again answer will arise through the Word, becoming the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation (Acts 2:42). Then the Word will be fulfilled, and you will come to know the value worth staking your life on (Acts 2:46–47). The true answer of world evangelization begins from this point. Have Summit Time holding onto this covenant.

▣ Main
1. Babylon – Testimonies of those who staked their lives
1) The three young men
2) Daniel
3) Esther

2. Those who must stake their lives – the final opportunity
1) The Word came to Haggai.
2) Speak to Joshua.
3) Deliver it to the remnant people (verse 2).
4) Tell Zerubbabel to be strong.
5) Speak to Joshua.

3. Those who will deliver it – We must leave behind to the next generation the mission to block the global spiritual disaster.
1) Is there anyone who saw the former temple?
2) Just as My Spirit was with you when you came out of Egypt, I will continue to be with you, so do not be afraid (verse 5).
3) I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the nations.

▣ Conclusion
1. “This is what the Lord says.”
2. “The glory of the latter temple will be greater than the former.”
3. The reason – the three courtyards that block the forces of darkness, the three-day weekend to save the next generation, the age of holy meditation to heal the world.

Genesis 13:18 (Abraham), the 7 Remnants (RT7), the Early Church, Paul, and the people of Romans 16 discovered the value worth staking their lives on. Now is the time to restore the strength that comes both spiritually and physically.

Forum & Prayer

The Working of the Triune God and the Answer of 25

Acts 1:8. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

This is the work of the Triune God and the answer of 25. The term “Triune God” is something everyone knows. But the fact that the work of the Triune God is something else. The Holy Spirit and the work of the Holy Spirit are different matters. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God who originally exists, but when He comes upon us, we call it “the work of the Holy Spirit.” When this blessing appears in your studies and work, we call that the 25th hour. The term “25” is one we made up, but it means it’s not our timetable.

Do you know the man Pascal? He was a French mathematician, a physicist, and a philosopher. He lived a faithful life and became a theologian. He said, “Without personal quiet time, misfortune will come.” This means that if there is no secret of prayer, one cannot be happy.

All our church members should receive grace, but there is a particularly greater need for our church officers to receive grace. Officers are often very busy people. Since you’re older, you also have much experience. When you come to church, you have to work. You are in a situation where you must do many different things. Whether you work, don’t work, can’t work, do well or poorly—these all relate to being a church officer. If you’re not careful, you may miss the critical flow of the Word. Because you are important people, you must firmly hold to this covenant of the Word.

▣ Introduction – Prayer
Although it may seem like nothing, when we pray, the flow of the Word is included. It’s not just a simple prayer; it includes the flow of your life. This prayer includes not just simple life matters but also the flow of your work. That’s why this prayer is so important.

So, what is the beginning of prayer? Healing. What is the process of prayer? The fullness of the Holy Spirit. What is the conclusion of prayer? World evangelization. When you pray like this, it does not simply mean “I’m just praying.” Prayer includes this immense blessing—prayer is healing, it is the fullness of the Holy Spirit, it is world evangelization.

▣ Main Body – Answer
So today, as you worship and pray, you must always keep three things in mind: indwelling, guidance, and fullness of the Holy Spirit. The Triune God indwells within you through the Holy Spirit. This is where healing begins. The Triune God invisibly leads me through the Holy Spirit. This is extremely important. Following that comes the Triune God working powerfully and fully in me through the Holy Spirit. Then, even this very moment of prayer becomes a very important time.

1. Indwelling (1 Corinthians 3:16)
There are many verses in the Bible, but even just this one—“You are the temple of God and the Spirit of God dwells in you”—is clearly stated in the Bible. This is a critical verse. It’s a verse that cannot apply to unbelievers but applies to you. So if you just realize this one important thing—the work of the Holy Spirit, the work of God, the work of the Triune God and the answer of 25—everything changes.

So when you think and pray now, it may look like nothing, and you may think, “I prayed, so what?” But answers will surely come precisely. This kind of answer came, that kind of answer came—that’s important, but more importantly, these three answers (indwelling, guidance, fullness) will come.

We may easily think, “Oh, I’m facing too many hardships. This is too difficult for me.” But regardless, these three answers (indwelling, guidance, fullness) will surely come. This is important. The Holy Spirit is within you, the Triune God not only guides you but also gives you full power.

Throne
So the phrase “blessing of the throne” refers to this mystery (indwelling – 1 Corinthians 3:16).

1) 3·9·3
This is where the phrase 3·9·3 comes from. You must be assured. During today’s worship, believe this (3·9·3) is happening. That’s enough. Don’t worry about what kind of answer will come. Don’t worry about your future. Why? Because the Triune God works in you like this (3·9·3). It is certain. That’s why we hold to this covenant and worship today. You pray holding to this covenant throughout the week.

2) Remnant
Clear evidence appeared. The Seven Remnants only did this. The door to world evangelization simply opened, not because they tried. You must remember. It’s a razor-thin difference. Let’s speak about one remnant. Joseph didn’t try to become governor. While enjoying this (3·9·3) blessing, he became governor. So don’t think about the answer. This (indwelling, guidance, fullness) is the answer. Think about it—if the blessing of the throne has come upon you and your work, who can stop it? That’s why the unseen answer (indwelling, guidance, fullness) must come first. Even highly educated people, philosophers like Plato, realized something through their studies and insisted, “What is unseen is more important than what is seen.”

3) Nothing, Everything
Such people began with nothing but ended up saving everything. Why? Because this blessing (1 Corinthians 3:16, the throne) was within them. “It’s okay to have nothing,” they said. Even when David was being chased, he said, “I lack nothing.” He used such words. You must make that confession today. “I came to worship to enjoy this blessing, so nothing else matters.”

2. Guidance
Then, you will surely be guided. Remember three things.

1) Acts 13:1–4
Before doing anything, you must pray, even for just five minutes, and confirm that you are being guided by the Holy Spirit.

2) Acts 16:6–10
More importantly, when things don’t seem to work. What does Scripture say? “The Holy Spirit prevented them from preaching the gospel in Asia.” In such times, we quickly become anxious and shaken. “Why is the way blocked? Why isn’t it working?” That’s when you must hold to the covenant. God has prepared the real thing. It becomes a turning point. “To Macedonia,” it says. You must remember this.

3) Acts 19:1–7
Always first experience what happened on Calvary, Mount of Olives, and Mark’s upper room. If in every situation you enjoy this blessing through prayer, then surely God’s work and the answer of world evangelization will follow.

Resolve firmly: “In this opportunity, I must recover the real thing in my life.” You must recover the real thing. What good is recovering the fake? Recover the real. So many future generations will see your footsteps and say, “Ah, so this is the true gospel. Thank God for His grace.” You must leave that behind. It will surely come. Build the bartizan of the Triune God through prayer.

Suppose someone from Africa comes to our church. Then they must go back thinking, “Ah, we must pray like this for Africa.” They must recognize, “Ah, there was someone in this church praying for Africa, for me. This is who they were.” So even when you grow old and can no longer work and go to the kingdom of God, other disciples will continue that work. How amazing is that?

The missionary family McKenzie from Australia went to Africa, got sick while doing missions, and how could they have come to a poor country like Korea? They came to Busan. Even there, they became ill and couldn’t continue. So it would’ve ended there. But their descendants came. They built hospitals and churches and received many answers. That is beyond imagination. How could individuals go to another country like that? Think about it. Korea was in terrible condition at that time. Our country developed rapidly by God’s grace. Older folks would know. Even when I was young, if complications arose during childbirth, the baby would die. There were no countermeasures. The country was poor, so who would perform prenatal checkups? No one. They just gave birth. If the mother had complications, you couldn’t even know. So these missionaries built a small hospital, specifically, an obstetrics hospital. So we thought, “Wow, these people really prayed.” The name of the hospital has changed over time from “Women’s Hospital” to “Christian Hospital.” The prayer you are praying right now is tremendous. That’s how you are guided by the Spirit.

3. Fullness
When you’ve reached a certain point in the timetable, that’s fullness.

1) Acts 1:1
Christ becomes the concrete answer for you.

2) Acts 1:3
The kingdom of God is realized. It will surely happen. As you pray, the kingdom of God will come upon your work. Later, the kingdom will be realized.

3) Acts 1:8
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” The gospel will enter deeply and bring transformation to the culture. You must believe this. Those who believe this cannot help but pray. No matter how difficult your situation may be, it’s okay. Start this (entire message) prayer now. That’s everything. No matter how lacking your background is, it’s okay. Start this (entire message) prayer now. Then, as answers begin to come, you will realize something. What will you realize? “Ah, it’s such a relief that I didn’t receive answers in the past.” It’s a real relief.

I’m saying this while smiling now, but when I was younger, I was hopeless. I had hopes like “I will do this and that.” But none of that happened. And since I had no faith and didn’t know how to pray, I thought, “Maybe I’m someone who just doesn’t succeed.” One day, I asked myself, “Why is my environment like this?” though I didn’t say it out loud. “Why are my parents like this? Why is the church like this?” That was the vicious cycle. I wasn’t mentally ill, but I was at the level of being mentally ill. “Why am I like this?” Nothing was working. But after receiving even a little answer, I realized, “Wow, I was foolish.” I’m so glad those things happened.

You must receive this (entire message) answer today.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion? When they held to the covenant of the Mount of Olives and devoted themselves to prayer, they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Acts 1:3
40 days. This doesn’t mean you must literally make it 40 days, but it means you must have this kind of time every day. What happens eventually?

Acts 1:14
“They all joined together constantly in prayer.” That’s enough. If today during worship you truly enter into deep prayer and receive grace, that’s enough. Answers will come later.

Acts 2:1–13
Then what happened when they went out? This kind of work of the Holy Spirit (Acts 2:1–4) occurred. It will come. What happened later?

Acts 2:17–18
More importantly, they began to see the future. That’s enough. Don’t lose hold of this (main body).

Acts 2:42
Then worship came alive. This is everything.

Don’t be deceived by your current reality. If you are ill and continuously worry about your illness, that’s not prayer. That’s being seized by worry. But if you truly entrust it to God, receive grace and strength, then your body will also come alive.

So don’t try to receive answers—receive this (entire message) answer. You’ll have testimonies. At the Red Sea, when the people grumbled, Moses said this: “Stand firm and see the deliverance the Lord will bring you.” What does “stand firm” mean? Does it mean literally just stand there? That’s not it. It means throw away all your current thoughts and wait.

When they marched around Jericho, God commanded: “On the last day, shout—but for six days, do not open your mouth.” What does that mean? “Don’t be deceived by your reality.” Marching around Jericho brings up so much doubt. “Will this really work? What if they throw rocks from above?” If a few people start talking, “Does marching around Jericho really make it collapse? Is this even logical?” It’s not. But because God said so, and they obeyed, Jericho fell.

That’s why the most frequent word in the early church is “Only.” The phrase “They devoted themselves to prayer” has the same meaning. “They all joined constantly in prayer.” That phrase appears three times in Acts.

So today’s worship will surely come as this (entire message) answer. You must be assured. During worship, healing will take place unknowingly to you, and the blessing of the coming of God’s kingdom will occur unknowingly to you. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let today be a day of new grace. Let it be a day of turning point. Let it be a day of healing through the blessing of the throne. Let the glory of God and the kingdom of God come upon the places we must go. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.
