Feed My Sheep!

John 21:15-18. When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.”


The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ came to Peter not with condemnation, but with restoration. Peter was still tangled in guilt and shame after denying Jesus three times, and Jesus knew this. That is why He asked Peter the same question three times: “Do you love me?” This was not a test of Peter’s ability or resolve. It was a loving invitation to return to grace, to remember who he truly was, and to be restored as a child of God despite his weakness. Jesus wanted Peter to know that His love had never changed, even when Peter had failed.

After restoring Peter’s heart, Jesus entrusted him with a solemn and weighty mission: “Feed my sheep.” This calling was not accidental. Jesus was revealing what matters most to Him in a broken world. He was entrusting Peter with people—souls for whom He had shed His blood. Feeding His sheep means caring for lives with the Word, protecting them from deception, healing them with the truth of the gospel, and guiding them back to God.

The world today faces a profound spiritual crisis. People wander without understanding the fundamental cause of their suffering. Since the Fall, when humanity turned away from God, the whole world has been living under the influence of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the devil, trapped in fear, confusion, and suffering (Genesis 3:1–7; Ephesians 2:2–3). Jesus Himself said that the thief comes only to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10). This destructive work has intensified, especially against families, young people, and even the church.

Tragically, much of the church has lost clarity about the gospel. The message that Jesus is the Christ has been diluted, distorted, or replaced. As Scripture describes, the precious children of God are treated like common clay, their value forgotten (Lamentations 4:1–2). They are spiritually starving, asking for bread but receiving none (Lamentations 4:4). Instead of the true gospel, many are fed a different gospel, which is no gospel at all (Galatians 1:6–7). False teachings confuse God’s people, and as a result, spiritual sickness spreads, and calamities increase, just as Scripture warned.

Yet God’s answer has not changed. When the authentic gospel is restored and proclaimed with power, with the Holy Spirit, and with deep conviction, light breaks through the darkness (1 Thessalonians 1:5). Healing begins. Lives are restored. The world desperately needs the grace of God that heals hearts, minds, families, and nations.

Jesus’ question to Peter is the same question He asks us today: “Do you love me?” He is not asking about our strength or perfection. He is calling us to remain in His love and grace. And with that love comes responsibility. Along with the gospel, we are entrusted with His sheep—brothers and sisters for whom Christ died. We are called to feed them with the Word of Christ, to heal them with truth, and to strengthen them through prayer and care.

This calling requires a shepherd’s heart. We are not to exercise authority harshly or insist on our rights, but to care gently, like a nursing mother caring for her children, sharing not only the gospel but also our lives (1 Thessalonians 2:7–8). Through this love, others come to experience that the gospel is life, power, healing, and joy. They are nurtured until they stand firmly on the promises of God.

This responsibility also extends to future generations. We must continue to instill God’s covenant of the offspring of the woman in their hearts (Genesis 3:15), build the ark of salvation in Christ for them (Genesis 6:18), and apply the blood of the Lamb that delivers from bondage (Exodus 3:18). We must help them live daily in the joy of Immanuel, God with us (Isaiah 7:14), and firmly confess that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God (Matthew 16:16).

As the Word of God is taught diligently and impressed upon their hearts, souls, minds, and strength (Deuteronomy 6:4–9), its healing power will transform their lives. God promises that through this, they will become a mighty people who shine the light of the gospel to the nations (Isaiah 60:22).


Prayer. Father, I thank You for restoring me through Your grace, just as You restored Peter. Thank You for breaking the power of generational curses through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Because of the incomparable riches of Your grace, I have hope and a future. Help me love You deeply and faithfully feed Your sheep. Use my life to pass on the complete covenant of Christ to this generation and the next. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Encourage the Discouraged!

Luke 24:25-35. He said to them, “How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Did not the Messiah have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?” 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said in all the Scriptures concerning himself.

28 As they approached the village to which they were going, Jesus continued on as if he were going farther. 29 But they urged him strongly, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.

30 When he was at the table with them, he took bread, gave thanks, broke it and began to give it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, and he disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, assembled together 34 and saying, “It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon.” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the way, and how Jesus was recognized by them when he broke the bread.


The resurrected Lord Jesus Christ sends us with a clear purpose. He commands us to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:16–20) and to go into all the world to proclaim the message of healing (Mark 16:15–20). At the same time, He sends us to seek out and restore believers who are wandering in discouragement, just as He did on the road to Emmaus. The risen Christ not only pursues the lost; He also tenderly restores the weary and disheartened among His own.

Tragically, many believers live under the weight of discouragement. They attend church faithfully, yet their hearts remain heavy and uncertain. Instead of living by the power of the gospel, they cling to religion. Instead of enjoying grace, they labor under legalism. As a result, their faith becomes routine rather than life-giving, and their walk with God becomes duty rather than joy (Galatians 5:1).

This is why realizing the gospel is far more urgent than merely attending church. Simply believing in Jesus as a historical figure is not enough. One must believe that He is the Christ, the Son of the living God. Without this confession, faith easily turns into moral effort, and Christian life becomes exhausting rather than freeing.

Jesus is the Christ in His fullness. As the True King, He destroyed the work of the devil (1 John 3:8). As the True Priest, He broke the curse of sin once for all by offering Himself (Mark 10:45). As the True Prophet, He opened a new and living way back to God (John 14:6). When a person believes and receives Jesus as the Christ, everything changes at the root. The Holy Spirit comes to dwell in that person’s heart, and this marks the end of despair and the beginning of true life.

If the Holy Spirit lives in you, nothing can ultimately destroy you, because you are God’s temple (1 Corinthians 3:16). He will never abandon you (John 14:16). He leads your life, teaches you all things, and fills your heart with peace that the world cannot give (John 14:26–27). He guides you into all truth (John 16:13), empowers you from above (Acts 1:8), and works powerfully through your prayers (John 14:14).

You have also been given spiritual authority. Jesus has granted you authority to overcome all the power of the enemy (Luke 10:19). You belong to heaven, and your citizenship is there (Philippians 3:20). God even sends His angelic hosts to serve those who inherit salvation (Hebrews 1:14). This is the unseen reality surrounding every believer who walks by faith

Discouragement often sets in when this reality is not experienced. Either the Spirit is not truly known, or His guidance is resisted. The greatest obstacle to the Holy Spirit’s leading is not circumstances, but human stubbornness—clinging to one’s own thoughts, fears, and reasoning. Only a life yielded to the Spirit can overcome unbelief.

Many remain trapped in despair because they feel powerless against sin. Yet through Christ, God has permanently changed your identity and destiny. You are no longer a child of the devil. You have been adopted into God’s family. The Spirit Himself testifies within you that you are a child of God. You are no longer a slave to sin but have become a servant of righteousness.

When discouragement arises from your own weaknesses, remember that God has already changed your position. Sin no longer defines you. Grace does. The past no longer rules you. Christ does. Fix your eyes on Jesus, who endured the cross for you, so that you will not grow weary or lose heart.

Just as He did with the two disciples on the road to Emmaus, the risen Christ walks with us every day, even when we fail to recognize Him. In moments of confusion and disappointment, He draws near. Through the Word, He gently corrects our thinking, opens the Scriptures, and reignites our hearts with truth. What once felt hopeless begins to burn with life again.

When the disciples realized that the risen Lord had been walking with them all along, despair turned into bold testimony. They rose immediately and proclaimed that Jesus was alive. Encounter with the living Christ always leads to renewed purpose and restored joy.

If you are discouraged today, meet Jesus in the Word. Return to Calvary and the empty tomb. He is risen, and He is with you. If you see others weighed down by discouragement, open the Scriptures and help them see why the Christ had to suffer and rise again. Build them up with the Word, strengthen them with the promise of victory, and remind them that the God of peace will soon crush Satan under our feet.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for freeing me from despair and discouragement through the risen Christ. Help me fix my eyes on Him so that I will not grow weary or lose heart. Use my life to encourage those who are discouraged and lead them to the living hope found in Jesus. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Go Into All the World!

Mark 16:14-20. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen.

15 He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; 18 they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.”

19 After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20 Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.


When Jesus Himself becomes the gospel to you, there is no need to search for another kind of “good news.” If His death and resurrection are the ultimate good news in your life, then the kingdom of God has already come upon you. The gospel is no longer interesting ideas you have heard; it becomes the very life you live. Where Christ reigns, nothing else is lacking.

In the kingdom of God, there is no darkness. As a citizen of His kingdom, you are given complete freedom from the power of sin, Satan, and hell. What once ruled you no longer has authority over you. In God’s kingdom, there is forgiveness instead of condemnation, joy instead of despair, and peace that transcends circumstances. This is the reality Jesus secured through His cross and resurrection.

God brings healing to every part of your life through His living Word. His Word penetrates your spirit, heart, mind, and body, restoring what has been broken and renewing what has grown weary (Hebrews 4:12). As His kingdom takes root in you, your desires begin to change. You no longer live driven by fear, but with a growing hunger for His kingdom and His righteousness. This is the evidence that God’s reign has truly come upon you.

The resurrected Christ then gives us the reason for living: to save this generation by the power of the gospel. He did not rise from the dead so that we could live small, self-centered lives. He rose again to send us. His command is clear and urgent—to go into all the world and proclaim the pure, untainted gospel to every nation.

Jesus promised that as we go in His name, the authority of the kingdom of God would be revealed. Demons that have ruled minds, cultures, and generations will be driven out. God will enable us to communicate the gospel across languages, cultures, and boundaries that once seemed impossible. The power of the Holy Spirit will go before us, opening doors that no human effort could open.

God has also given us spiritual authority to overcome the forces of darkness. He promises His protection and deliverance as we walk in obedience to His calling. When we move forward for the sake of the gospel, God Himself takes responsibility for our lives. He brings healing to those suffering from all kinds of sicknesses and restores those crushed by the weight of sin and despair.

If we respond to God’s calling as the disciples did, the Lord will work with us through the Holy Spirit to complete the task He has entrusted to us—the task of testifying to the good news of His grace (Acts 20:24). This mission has not changed. God is still fulfilling His Word today, just as He did then.

Therefore, let us throw away unbelief. Let us honestly confess our doubts and our fear, and ask the Lord to help us believe. The reason we can move forward with confidence is simple: Jesus is alive. The tomb is empty. The kingdom has come.

Jesus is inviting you to follow Him with urgency. This invitation is not to comfort, but to life that impacts eternity. When you obey His call, your life will become a channel through which God touches the world, just as He did through His first disciples.

Nothing is more urgent than leading someone in your life to Christ. Nothing is more important than praying for workers to be sent into God’s harvest field. And nothing is more fulfilling than participating in the Great Commission in your generation.

You have been given the authority of Jesus’ name—the name above every name. You now communicate with God as a beloved child. God’s protection through His angel armies surrounds you, and His power works through you. Through your obedience, God desires to bring healing and restoration to a world broken by sin, controlled by the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the devil (Ephesians 2:2).

And above all, Christ Himself is with you—working with you and confirming His Word by His power. This is the promise of the risen Lord, and it still stands today.


Prayer. Lord Jesus, I thank You for inviting me into the life You designed for me. I believe You are alive and reigning. Here I am—send me. Use my life to proclaim Your gospel to the nations. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer of the Week: December 28, 2025

Heavenly Father, I thank You for the gospel through which You have shown me the Way. I believe that Jesus Christ finished everything, explained the power of the throne for forty days on Mt Olive, and sent me toward the ends of the earth.

In every problem, teach me to see what is inevitable, what is necessary, and what is absolute, and not to fear. Let me discover my absolute bartizan, my God-given calling, and my remaining mission. As You protected Paul and the Early Church, protect me so that Your plan is fulfilled through me.

Turn my hardships into testimonies and my crises into platforms for world evangelization. May I align my work and my church with Your eternal covenant.

I lift up Pastor Francis before You, holding firmly to Your Word. May Your grace be sufficient for him, and may Your power be made perfect in his weakness. I do not depend on human strength, but I bring his sickness and frailty before Your throne. Let the power of Christ rest richly upon him, and according to Your will, let healing and deep peace flow. Even in weakness, turn his suffering into testimony, and reveal Your glory.

I also pray for all remnants scattered in Ethiopia, Rwanda, Vietnam, Myanmar, the Philippines, Jamaica, Guatemala, Chicago, and here in Connecticut. Grant them the biblical answers and the blessing of meetings through prayer and the Word. Let the camp of the throne that shines Your light be established, and let the most difficult circumstances in their lives be transformed into masterpieces. Open doors even to the 5,000 tribes through them.

With thanksgiving, I offer myself and my offerings for the grace of salvation. Let my finances become the economy of light, my work the economy of missions, and the future of the remnants the economy of Your kingdom.

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.

Graduation is the Beginning

2025.12.28 Sunday 2nd Service
Dept. of Education, Graduation Service
Scripture Reading: 2 Timothy 2:1-7


“Graduation – The Start”
Our graduation is the start. This character 졸(卒) can also mean “the end,” and in the military it is used for the lowest-ranking soldier—because it is the start. So what must we begin?

[Spiritual Summit Prayer Meeting, Skills Summit, Cultural Summit]
Remnants must hold onto three things. From now on, you must have a prayer meeting that makes you a spiritual summit—whether alone or together. Then you will become a skills summit and a cultural summit. You must begin now. Especially adults—spiritual businesspeople and people like that—must raise the remnants well.

[Worship – Healing, Summit Festival]
Make worship into a healing, summit festival. In reality, on Wednesdays, you may need something like a healing prayer meeting. On Fridays, it must become a complete festival. In Seoul and in Busan, Wednesday worship and Friday gatherings—since we are already gathered—must be made alive. Saturdays are a time when we stand as tremendous witnesses. Sundays are the time when you imprint it completely.

[Incompetence → Witness (Power)]
So we must change our incompetence. He said we will receive power and become witnesses. Remnants must become like this.

I know someone who has a mission for Taekwondo missions. But he does not know how. What does not work? His Taekwondo studio does not work. Most Taekwondo studios probably do not work. It is extremely important for missions, but it does not work in Korea. So I taught him the Word that is in the Bible. In the Bible, they opened upper rooms in every region, right? “Go around every region, go around your area, and hold a Taekwondo festival. One disciple will definitely come out.” This friend understood what I was saying. History takes place.

I know another person—he supplies medicine to pharmacies. He says it is difficult. He supplies medicine to pharmacies, and also supplies medicine to hospitals. I said to him, “I will teach you what is in the Bible. If you do what is in the Bible, you will succeed. Why do you go around trying to sell medicine? There is plenty of medicine. Make pharmacies. Make about 10 pharmacies.” If you have a lot of medicine, just put it in—no decorations are needed. “If it does not work, make 100 in the city of Seoul.” In the past, pharmacies sold like that very easily, right? If you do what is in the Bible, you can win. Remnants must now go immediately in this direction (the introduction).

Introduction – The Timetable to Change
So now is the timetable to change a few things. What must we change?

1. Wrong imprint
You have wrong imprints, right? You must change them. They are imprinted incorrectly.

  1. Satan’s 12 strategies → 7 bartizans
    Satan’s 12 strategies are imprinted, right? You must change them into the 7 bartizans. This is the time to change—by this.
  2. Root → 7 journeys
    Your roots have taken hold in something else. Your roots have taken hold in many things in your family line. So now you must take root in the 7 journeys.
  3. Problems → 7 guideposts
    And you have many problems that are already here. Change all of them into the 7 guideposts. Because the remnant age becomes the eternal start, it is an opportunity. What must you change? Change the wrong imprint. Then it works.

2. Brain, spirit
Also, your brain and spirit are scattered. You must change this. What do you do?

  1. Start the 3 concentrations
    From now on, start the 3 concentrations. You must not listen to wrong words. You must listen to God’s Word.
  2. Start the 3 settings
    From now on, start the 3 settings that must come.
  3. Start the 3 answers
    Start the 3 answers that can give answers wherever you go. Every problem has an answer. Every conflict and crisis has points that must be renewed. Every crisis is an opportunity. Take that with you. But your brain and spirit are scattered so you cannot pray. You must quickly bring focus.

Teachers at school, inevitably, must teach you studies, right? Then they cannot teach you truth. When spiritual problems come, what should you do? They cannot teach you. They also do not know how to make money. They do not teach you how to make money. Jews teach it. So for remnants, this is the time to change from now. And what else must you change?

3. What was taken
What was taken—you must recover it. What is it?

  1. Prayer 300%
    From now on, remnants must prepare prayer 300%. What does prayer 300% mean? 100% receiving the guidance of the Holy Spirit completely—because He guides you. And 100% of the Holy Spirit’s work in the field—because you cannot win the field. To win, the Holy Spirit’s work must take place. And 100% of preparation for the future—because it continues only when there is the fruit of the Spirit. Prayer 300%. Prepare it during the remnant age.
  2. Studies 300%
    Studies 300%. It must be 300%. Expertise, fieldness, future-orientedness. And it does not end there.
  3. Future 300%
    Everyone, prepare the future 300%. This is much easier. So on the path the remnants go, many people will live. Do not worry about studies—prepare this (the introduction). Even if someone studied extremely well, if they did not prepare 300%, they just get a job. Even if someone studied poorly, for a person prepared with 300%, things come. No need to compete. 300% is completely what God gives. If someone asks me what it means to be filled with the Holy Spirit, I can explain it like this: 300% is being filled with the Holy Spirit. Put this firmly in your heart, remnants.

These days, as churches become difficult—because of various international situations too—churches suffer because of budgets. Revive worship. Earlier, at Immanuel Seoul, I saw that the president and prime minister of Vanuatu are all sick. This time they came and entered on Sunday and received treatment. So even though the budget is already difficult, it looks like several hundred million won will go in. A call came saying they would receive directions. I said, “Proceed as it is.” “Since Imseo is in charge, proceed.” If we just do one special prayer, it is finished, right?

Revive worship. Do not complain about the budget. Revive Wednesday worship. Revive Friday all-night prayer. On Sundays, since we have the whole worship service, it is difficult. Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday are extremely important. So today I told the elders, “Try making a planning team.” What I am praying for is this: I am looking for scouts, a special evangelism team, and a special forces team. Places to be saved are full. Places for you to receive blessings are full. You must not miss them all. Through you, let re-challenge arise. Where remnants go, reproduction arises. Re-creation arises.

So before I met you in the evangelism field, I ran for a long time. I ask evangelists: not even once have I used the church budget. I have to eat anyway, so why should I eat with church money? Right? If I went to evangelize, should I receive church money? That is not it. So God gave blessings in the evangelism field. The blessings I received are not one or two. I am deeply thankful. It works. Try it. With God, nothing is impossible. Are your churches difficult? Revive worship. When worship is revived, miracles like Acts chapter 2 take place. When worship is revived, works like Acts chapter 4 take place. People who are healed while praying do not spare money, right? People who had spiritual problems and were solved dedicate anything. At this time today, you must firmly hold onto that blessing as the covenant. Remnants—change.

Main Message – Preparation
This is the main message. What the remnants must prepare—I will speak simply.

1. Spiritual soldier
He said, “You as a spiritual soldier.” This does not mean become a soldier. He used Timothy as an analogy—it does not mean “become a soldier,” right? Then what does it mean?

  1. Remaining one – one who will leave behind
    You are the remaining one who must gain strength—go as the one who will leave behind. Go as the one who will leave behind in that region.
  2. 7 bartizans
    What is the method? Establish the 7 bartizans. Let the power of the throne—the power of the Triune God—become your bartizan. The throne is your bartizan. “It is finished”—the power of the cross that finished the past, present, and future is your bartizan. Right? Having the power that overcomes the ruler of the air is the bartizan. Having CVDIP that sees the future is the bartizan. The three ages—that is the bartizan. If you do that, what comes out?
  3. Footing 300%
    Remnants must remember. Then your past footing becomes entirely the footing of blessing—300%. If this (300%) does not happen, it does not work. If this does not happen, you must follow your parents—your difficult parents. You must not follow them. In the field, there are many confusing seniors. You must not follow them. You must help them. If you are complaining because life is hard because of your parents, you must not follow that. 300%. No reason. Try it like this.

2. One who competes
He said, “one who competes.” This is an analogy—it does not mean “become an athlete,” right? What is it?

  1. Pilgrim
    Become a pilgrim who goes to save the world.
  2. Journey
    And go the absolute journey. Follow the path where the Triune God works. Follow the power of the throne, the 10 mysteries. Follow the 10 footings. Follow the 5 assurances of the throne. Right? Follow the 9 flows that God changes. Go with the lifelong answer and give the lifelong answer. Today is the camp of the throne. I spoke about the 7 journeys.
  3. Studies 300%
    Then what definitely comes out is this: studies 300% comes out. Only then does work happen. Remnants, do not worry about anything. Do not worry by listening to lies. Your parents’ worries and your teachers’ worries are not entirely wrong, but they do not help you. You must go beyond them. The 7 remnants all went beyond them. Beyond—do not follow.

When I attended church long ago, if you follow the adults, you cannot evangelize. It does not work. My specialty is just pretending unconditionally like I am good. I do that. You must not follow that. If you follow that, you cannot pray, you cannot evangelize, you cannot do missions your whole life, and you must die after suffering poverty every day. Can you follow that? You must follow the Word. You are one who competes.

3. Farmer
You are a farmer. Does this mean farm?

  1. Watchman
    You are a watchman who looks at and raises the world.
  2. 7 guideposts
    Now make the 7 guideposts. Set up the guidepost of “It is finished” at Mt Calvary. Set up the guidepost of the throne’s power that was spoken for 40 days at Mt Olive. Set up the guidepost of the power given at Mark’s Upper Room. Works that change the age take place. Set up the guidepost of Antioch. Set up the guidepost of Asia where you receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit perfectly. Make the guidepost of going to Macedonia. Make the guidepost of Rome. Right?
  3. Work 300%
    Then your work becomes 300%. It is not only studies. Your work must become 300%. History cannot help but take place.

Conclusion
Then what becomes your standard in the future? This is the conclusion. What standard comes out?

1. Transcending time and space, 237–5000, unprecedented
The secret of prayer that transcends time and space comes out. Without this, you cannot do 237. If you do not know transcending time and space, you cannot do 237 nations when you have not gone. If you know transcending time and space, you can enjoy it even without going. What is it? 237–5000 tribes. At this time there is an unprecedented blessing given only to you. No one can stop it. Do not worry. At this time, what comes out to you—what comes out?

2. WIOS, OURS, Always WITH
Finally, what is it? A WITH—Immanuel—Oneness system comes out. It comes out to our remnants. Anywhere is fine. An Only—Uniqueness—Re-creation system comes out. Always—being with God, the field, and work—comes out. An Always with system comes out. And it does not end with this.

3. Red Diamond
Be sure to remember. Through our remnants, the Red Diamond team will come out. Why “red”? At Harvard, there is a Black Diamond team. They are mostly students, and they learn business. So if you go to Wall Street, everything—finance—gathers there. They almost dominated it. They are extremely busy. When I saw how they live, I thought, “Wow, it’s dizzy.” With computers that the whole world watches, they run while holding food like bread. “So this is how the world turns,” I thought.

Our member asked: there is no time to receive evangelism. So I told Eddie, “Make an evangelism tract that you can read in the bathroom and put it there.” We really did it. What will we do from now on? A monumental evangelism movement will take place for us.

I told you before—why are remnants important? In Ungcheon there is a deacon, and he is a little… like that. So people in the neighborhood call his name. Even little children call his name. Since he cannot do anything, if something happens in the neighborhood he goes and runs errands, brings food, and so on. There is only one place that speaks to him with respect—church. In church they call him “deacon,” like that. But he has no daughters—only three sons. These three sons, the remnants, have strong faith. They do not take it personally at all that their father is being insulted. They made it a prayer topic. The neighborhood became uproarious, right? When the neighborhood has a feast, do they need someone to clean anytime? Then they call him and give him work. Much time passed. The first general that came out in that neighborhood was that deacon’s son. Another became a doctor, and another became a legal professional. Now that man has passed away, but when he was alive—when a neighborhood feast was held, they would honor him as a distinguished guest, like that.

So as I saw that, I realized how important remnants are. When one remnant is blessed, many people live. When Joseph alone received answers, Egypt and the world lived. You must remember. If you alone receive answers, your family line, your church—everything will receive God’s blessing. There is no reason.

You must make the footing 300%. Studies 300%. Your business—your work—300%. With what do you make it? You make it with the 7 bartizans, the journeys, and the guideposts. This conclusion comes out clearly. May the whole world live through the remnants, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant us the power to reproduce. Grant us the power to re-create. Grant us faith to re-challenge. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

 

Paul, Do Not Be Afraid

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Introduction: Three things to see first

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Conclusion

Your difficulties will turn into evidence.

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

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

Ask:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

When Peace, Like a River

Hymn
When Peace, Like a River
Horatio Gates Spafford

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

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

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

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

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

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty

Savior, More Than Life to Me
Fanny Crosby

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hymn
When Peace, Like a River
Horatio Gates Spafford

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

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

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

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

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


Prayer · Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
forever and ever.
Amen.

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

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

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

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


Benediction
