Start with God

Prayer Journal: December 25, 2025 
22. Mar. 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 12:1-3


Thank you. This time, as we came and observed, the Remnants are doing social engagement, prayer, and praise very graciously and naturally. So as I sat in the back and quietly received grace, I thought, “Ah, we must not look at Ulsan as a rural place.” We need to raise up many of our Remnants and utilize them well.
Whether someone will be used briefly, used for a long time, or used properly and eternally—you can tell to some extent by looking at these things, but you must be equipped. As we have come this far, there are pastors and workers who have continued in ministry eternally like this, and there are also workers who change frequently along the way. So if you truly want to be properly used, you must consider others more than your own thoughts. Otherwise, world evangelization is impossible. You must value what belongs to others more than what belongs to you. It may seem like nothing, but there is a clear difference between being used briefly and being used continuously. Our side is important, but the other side—others—is even more important.
「Starting together with God」
This is because we start together with God. So if faith that God is with us does not arise, we become anxious. And if this faith is not firm, we have no choice but to assert our own opinions. That is why those who know God’s work see that what people once thought was right eventually turned out to be wrong. People thought they were failures, but they accomplished world evangelization. It is completely different. Therefore, you are people who must receive the answer to do world evangelization. It is not simply about succeeding at some level; you must do world evangelization. So no matter how much training you receive in the three-day weekend age and the three courtyards, if this “vessel” is not prepared, it will not work. Most people make judgments based on their own standpoint—parents, church, school, and even when they go out into the world. If so, our Remnants will never become great figures. You must not constantly center on your own things. You must value what belongs to others. Even your friends and your own group are important, but the other side is more important. Why? Because we must do world evangelization. To do world evangelization, we must see the entire world.

▣ Introduction
If so, there is something that must absolutely be prepared. Because we must do world evangelization, what must we prepare without fail?
1. What Christ has given
There is something God—Christ—has given. It is what God has given.
[ 3 Concentrations, Setting, Answer ]
You must concentrate here. This must be set here and become answers. So if that vessel I mentioned earlier is not formed, if you do not believe in God, the vessel itself is too small, and it will not work. The same applies to the church. There are all kinds of situations and all kinds of people in the church. If you examine and talk about each one in detail, nothing gets done. We must all come together to fulfill God’s plan.
What Christ has given – 24 (Prayer – Happiness, Power)
From now on, do not worry; just do 24 with this. What is the first thing Remnants must find, and what church leaders must also find first? What church leaders and evangelists must absolutely find is truly a 24 of happiness in prayer. It is not praying 24 hours. The happiness of 24 prayer must be within you. This must change quickly. Prayer 24 must be happiness to you. If it is not like this yet, then it is not time. You must be happy with something else—whatever that may be. Then inevitably, you will have to be happy with worldly things. What happens to the future then? You must be happy through 24 prayer and enjoy power through it.
25, eternity
Then after a little while, this comes—25. And what remains is eternity. Evangelists, you must remember this.
I am not afraid of the devil, nor am I afraid of people. What I fear most is seeing important people in the church unable to enjoy happiness through the prayer Christ gave. Such people easily end up doing Satan’s work at important timetables. You must remember this. Our young Remnants are important, so they must be happy with what Christ has given. With what?
1) 7 bartizans
Isn’t this happiness? How happy is the time when the 7 bartizans come upon you.
2) 7 journeys
As you walk the 7 journeys, how powerful is that time.
3) 7 guideposts
As the 7 guideposts are enjoyed, how blessed and powerful that time is.
[ Platform ]
When you are praying this prayer, evidence naturally emerges that makes others come to you. That becomes a platform. Remember this. You must truly be happy with the prayer Christ gave. Then everything is healed without even asking for healing. This is actually enjoying the power. If you study within this, what happens? You can check the standard yourself. Just as you check physical illness, ask yourself: Am I truly happy with this prayer? Is this power to me? If these two are not present, you must quickly adjust.
[ Watchtower ]
From this point, light goes out. That is called a watch bartizan, or watchtower.
[ Antenna ]
From this point, there is nothing to fear and nothing to worry about. You are connected with the throne. That is called an antenna.
This is essential for evangelists and essential for our church leaders. Church leaders must have strength; they must not rely on other things.
2. Answer
From this point, the second important thing appears. What is it? If you are enjoying these important answers, what kind of answers come to you? These answers come.
[ WITH ]
You come to enjoy and feel that God is with you. You become even happier. God saved inadequate me and has answered exactly as written in the Bible until now. This is truly the Lord’s grace and something to be thankful for. And that is not all.
[ Immanuel ]
Together with us. He works as Immanuel in our church.
[ Oneness ]
Not only that—what I thought was a problem turns into a blessing. What I thought was only my opinion being right and another’s being wrong comes together and answers arise.
[ WIOS ]
This cannot remain vague. A system of WITH, Immanuel, and Oneness is firmly established. From this point, even greater evidence comes. That is why Joseph stood before the king and spoke this (WIOS): “God has given me the blessing of the system in which He is with me, with us, and with all things.” That is what he said. Be happy with 24 prayer, 7·7·7. Are you not happy? I have been doing slow breathing for my health for about 37 years, and I am very happy. Truly. I need nothing else. How great is this power? And it does not end there.
3. Work, vocation
Something important follows for you Remnants. From this point, God’s work begins to arise in your work and vocation. Three things appear.
[ Only ]
Only. Only comes. There is no need to compete. Only. Does the Upper Room movement need to compete with other religions? No. With other organizations? No. That is a misconception. Evidence will come later. Why? Because the gospel is Only. Wasn’t the early church only the gospel? Only the Holy Spirit.
[ Uniqueness ]
At this point, others come to recognize it. Uniqueness arises.
[ Re-creation ]
Finally, re-creation takes place. This happens. This is the third answer that comes. This is power.
[ OURS ]
How does this become? Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation exist, but that alone is not enough. A system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation is formed. That is it.
All the keys are these three things (Introduction 1, 2, 3). Because you enjoy them daily, you can speak of them every day. The day this is proclaimed is the three-day weekend age. The place where this is enjoyed is the three courtyards. If we do not do the three courtyards going forward, we cannot save the next generation. Churches will close like in Europe. They will close like in America. It becomes miserable. This has already been confirmed city by city. There are many churches that built buildings and then closed their doors. Even worse are churches planted without buildings—they closed, and the chairs became a problem. There are places where only those chairs are piled up. It is shameful and embarrassing.
As churches in Busan, Seoul, Changwon, and Ulsan are being built, we must think as if we are already dead. We will leave someday. If I die, what happens? Everything ends. All worldly things end. We must hold on with that mindset. Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation become a complete system. How happy is that? Is there anything more needed? There is nothing. I have none. I only hold onto these (Introduction 1, 2, 3) prayers and these (Introduction 1, 2, 3) answers. Even today, as I came to Ulsan, I continuously prayed these (Introduction 1, 2, 3). What will happen in the future? Many people worry, but God accomplishes it. For those who are struggling, God accomplishes it with even greater blessings.

▣ Main Body_ 99.9%
Here, the important main body emerges. Three things appear. You must never miss these.
1. My thoughts X – my standard
If you are enjoying this blessing, you do not need your own thoughts. Because you fall due to your own thoughts, you do not need your own standard (Genesis 3:4–5). When you fall into this, you fall into Genesis 3:4–5. This is the main body. Almost everyone falls here. That is why you must pray not to fall here. Among those who have worked with headquarters alongside me for a long time, many have changed. They cannot last long. Their standard is not this (Introduction) but this (their own standard). It cannot work.
2. What is mine (Genesis 6:4–5)
If you see the work of this (Introduction), you cannot value what is “mine.” But when everything becomes “mine,” you become Nephilim. If you do not understand this and make your own things the standard, you become Nephilim. Answers will come daily, so what is “mine” that matters? The problem is those who receive no answers.
3. My side (Genesis 11:1–8)
In the end, it becomes “my side.” That is how people fall into the Tower of Babel and collapse.
This week, this was chosen as the main body. 99.9% of people live like this. Even believers live like this—me, mine, ours. That is all they know. But that is not us. God’s assertion. God’s plan. What belongs to God. World evangelization—that is right.
Genesis 3:15
That is why it was destroyed in one blow: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” There is nothing more to be guaranteed. Christ has broken the power of Satan.
Genesis 6:14, 18, 20
You inevitably become Nephilim. So enter the ark. Build the ark. It is for you—not for God. Build the temple for the Ulsan gospel, for you, and for your future generations. Build the temple to preserve life. That is what happened in the time of Noah.
Genesis 12:1–3
Once there is a little success, it becomes “ours,” “my side.” This is severe in Korea. But that is not us. “Go to the land I will show you.” Follow the Word. “I will make you a source of blessing.” “I will make you so that no one can stand against you. Through your offspring, all nations will be blessed.” He promised this. Why emphasize this again? Because almost everyone falls here. Very few people make it through this. That is why people do things half-heartedly. You can tell how much someone can do God’s work by this mark.
From now on, when you go to church or when Remnants go out into the world, it is not “me.” Because God is with you, you are someone else. It is not “ours.” It is the other side. You must see that. It is not mine. You must look at what belongs to others. That is the power to save them.
So we do three important things.
[ Guidance of the Holy Spirit ]
Wait until the guidance of the Holy Spirit comes. Wait while enjoying it. Enjoy strength and wait. Do not wait vaguely. Wait while enjoying happiness. Paul did this. Remnants, I hope you never again ask, “What will happen to me in the future?”
[ Work of the Holy Spirit ]
This was spoken especially to church leaders. In the field, look at what is important. Look at the work of the Holy Spirit that breaks down the Nephilim.
[ Fruit of the Holy Spirit ]
Bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit so that what you leave behind is eternal. Continuity.
This is the system Paul practiced. Receive answers just as it is.
Now, I will conclude. Scattered disciples.

Hymn
Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Henry Van Dyke 

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

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

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

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

Oh, come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant!
Oh, come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold him,
Born the King of angels;

Oh, come, let us adore him;
Oh, come, let us adore him;

Scripture Reading
Luke 2:1-14
Pastor Samuel

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to their own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

14 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Message
The Christmas We Meet Christ
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Full Transcript

▣ Introduction
1. Background
1) Old Testament and New Testament – the promise that He would send the Christ and the evidence that the Christ has come.
2) Enjoying the three feasts every day – it is Christmas, meeting Christ every day.
3) Christ – the true King who defeated Satan, the true Priest who blocked disasters, the true Prophet who opened the way of salvation.

2. The message the angels delivered to the shepherds when Christ was born (verse 11)
1) Christ before creation – He will resolve transgressions and sins, the past.
2) The incarnate Christ – He will change destiny.
3) The resurrected Christ – pray in My name.
4) Christ the Lord of the Second Coming – He guaranteed the future.
5) Christ the Lord of Judgment – heaven is the place God’s children go, hell is the place the devil’s children go.
3. Christ – the way, the truth, and the life that lead to the Triune God

▣ Main: The turning points Christ left behind
1. A turning point of life
1) The bartizan of the throne – the Triune God will work invisibly by the power of the throne. He will establish a bartizan that has resolved the past, present, and future. He will give the five powers and the secret to overcome the ruler of the power of the air. He will surely guide the future through CVDIP. Therefore, He promised that many highways would be opened.
2) The journey of the throne – the Triune God will lead us on the path where He works. Through the five assurances and the flow of the throne, the ten mysteries, He will guide us for a lifetime by the ten mysteries. Being here today is camp.
3) The guidepost of the throne – wherever you go, set up the guidepost of Mount Calvary, the mission guidepost of Mt Olive, the perfect answer of the Mark Upper Room, and set the guidepost of Antioch in your work. Since the Holy Spirit will completely guide you, set the guidepost of Asia. Because we must do world evangelization, go to Macedonia and to Rome.
▷ This is easily established through prayer. You must enjoy this blessing.

2. A turning point of the church
1) The Mark Upper Room Church – the church that gathered holding onto the covenant of Mt Olive.
2) The Antioch Church – the church where church leaders gathered and prayed in times of crisis.

3. A turning point of missions
1) He guided Paul on the perfect path of the Holy Spirit.
2) What seemed like a blocked door was opened to Macedonia.
3) “You must also see Rome” – because the 237–5,000 tribes are there.

▣ Conclusion
1. Immanuel (Matthew 1:23)
1) The confession that God is with us.
2) From the viewpoint of unbelievers, the confession that God is with you is the greatest blessing you can receive.
2. The fact that you came to know Christ is a miracle (verses 10–14)
1) It is a miracle that we received the Word.
2) It is a miracle that we met saints who know Christ, and these people are the most precious ones.
3. Whenever you worship, you must pray about your greatest problem
1) Your words are imprinted on the brain, the soul, and the throne and will surely come as answers.
2) Praise is extremely important. When you reach the end of life, the conclusion is revealed.
3) Proverbs 6:2, James 3:4–5, Ephesians 4:25–27 say that people are trapped by their words, and though the tongue seems small, it moves a large ship. If you keep arguing, it becomes a demon’s neighborhood. If you keep getting angry, it says the devil gains a foothold.
4) What you say to God is prayer. Prayer moves the throne.
▷ Thronely Christmas – a Christmas where the power of the throne is continually revealed, a Christmas where the heavenly hosts and angels are mobilized. Today, the heavenly hosts and angels announced it to the shepherds. It means they announce it to those who pray.
▷ There are many people around the world who die without ever hearing the gospel even once. Three things must be changed.


Offering 


Hymn
Joy to the World
Isaac Watts

Joy to the world; the Lord is come;
Let Earth receive her King;
Let ev’ry heart prepare him room,
And heav’n and nature sing.

Joy to the Earth, the Savior reigns;
Our mortal songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make his blessings flow
Far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love.


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.


Hymn
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

Scripture Reading
Ephesians 2:1-9

As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.


Message
Faith Is God’s Gift
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

The Triune God, the throne (angels), and the binding of darkness—whenever we worship and pray, the Triune God works by the Spirit. The power of the throne and the kingdom of God come upon us. At this time, God dispatches the angels of the Lord, the heavenly armies. Darkness is surely bound.

1.3.8 The bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ gave—the fundamental power is formed through the bartizan, journey, and guidepost (Acts 1:1, 3, 8); this becoming of fundamental power is the standard of prayer and the standard of answers. You must hold onto two lifelines: prayer + deep breathing.

Direction – Goal: God works when we go in the direction and toward the goal that God desires.

The remaining one, the pilgrim, the conqueror, the scattered one, the watchman, the scout, the banner (highway): the remaining ones whom God has left behind are changed into those who remain and those who will be left, and God mobilizes all blessings to find such people. In every place, there is surely one. There are prepared: a pilgrim to evangelize, one who can reproduce, a conqueror who subdues darkness, the scattered ones whom God has sent in advance, a watchman who saves a region, a scout who secretly enters to save disaster zones, and one who raises the banner and repairs the highway for all peoples. The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age are the highway.

▣ Introduction: Ephesians 6:12 The battle against Satan
1. He seizes rulers and is killing people.
2. Authorities – powerful people are captured by Satan and block the gospel.
3. World rulers – those who commit evil lawlessness and control the world.
4. Evil spirits – strange idol-worshiping groups emerge and cause confusion.

▣ Main: Salvation
1. Solving past problems (Ephesians 2:1)
1) 12 strategies – they are trapped in Satan’s 12 strategies.
2) Sin, transgressions – original sin and actual sin.
3) They are in a state of death.

2. Solving present problems (Ephesians 2:2)
1) Being liberated now from the hand of the ruler of the power of the air.
2) Many spiritual problems are arising in the three organizations and religions.
3) Children of wrath by nature – salvation is being liberated from this. Evangelism is telling this.

3. Solving future problems (Ephesians 2:6)
1) Hell background (throne) – living like hell and then going to hell. We enjoy the blessing of the throne and then go to heaven. Solving this is salvation.
2) Eternal things – this is connected to eternal things.
3) Passing on to future generations – this fact must be passed on to the whole world and to future generations.
▷ If we truly pray for evangelism and missions, God will mobilize all the power of this blessing. Because our direction does not align with God, our goal does not align, and there are no answers.

▣ Conclusion: Resolution
1. We cannot be saved – Christ
We cannot be saved. We have neither the condition nor the power to be saved. Therefore, He gave Christ.
2. Grace – salvation is God’s grace, and faith is also God’s gift.
3. Every day, every hour, everything – because it must be conveyed to the coming generations, enjoy this power daily. Since now is the time when this answer comes, check it every hour. You must succeed enough to evangelize the world. In everything, 300%.

▷ People who have fallen into the swamp are waiting. We must rescue them unconditionally. To rescue them, we need power. Remnants, have summit time. Go out with spiritual power (50 days). Young adults, go out prepared 300%. The sick must receive fundamental healing. Gain fundamental power and go with a fundamental mission. Our church must open the highway of the three ages.

Nothing Is Too Hard for God

Jeremiah 32:17. “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”


If you are facing crises in your present circumstances, do not lose heart. Know this with certainty: God is about to do something special. He desires to give you the most fundamental blessing—Christ, the answer to all problems. He desires to heal you by revealing His kingdom and to strengthen you through the power of the Holy Spirit. What appears to be an obstacle is often the very place where God intends to reveal His glory.

God has chosen you, and His calling over your life has not changed. He has definite plans for you—plans to lift you up and place you where your life will bear clear witness to Christ. Even now, God is preparing you for what He will accomplish through you and for the people He intends to reach through your life.

In the midst of a crisis, turn your heart to your Father. He is the Creator of heaven and earth, and nothing is too hard for Him. Jeremiah confessed this truth in the darkest hour of his times, declaring that God made the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. When circumstances overwhelm you, begin with praise and thanksgiving for who God is, not merely for what you want Him to do.

Do not be shaken. Hold firmly to God’s covenant for your life. Be confident of this: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). God’s grace does not fluctuate with your circumstances. His blessings remain constant.

Therefore, confess your faith in Him with thanksgiving. When you present your requests to God with gratitude, the peace of God—peace that surpasses all understanding—will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). Thanksgiving is not merely a response to answers; it is an expression of trust in God’s sovereignty. Time and again, Scripture shows that thanksgiving releases God’s miraculous work.

You are a precious child of God. He has already given you everything you need to overcome the world. Because of this, you do not need to live in anxiety or fear. You have every reason to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that God is at work in all things for your good (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 8:28).

Align your life with God’s will as revealed in His Word. When you come before Him with a repentant heart, He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Remove from your life anything that slows you down or entangles you. Lay aside sin and burdens, and come daily to the cross where God demonstrated His immeasurable love through His Son, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:1-3).

Stop praying like those who do not know God. Start praying like a child who knows the Father’s heart. Learn to listen carefully to what God says through His Word, because prayer is not only speaking to God but responding to Him. When you remain in Christ and His words remain in you, your prayers align with His will, and God delights to answer (John 15:7).

Begin with the Word of God proclaimed at your local church. God communicates with His people through the servants He appoints. Receive the message with faith, meditate on it, and pray through it throughout the week. View every situation in your life through the lens of the Word God has given you, and you will begin to discern His guidance more clearly.

Establish a daily rhythm: today’s Word as God’s promise, today’s prayer as your response, and today’s evangelism as your mission. Ask for strength that comes from above, and surrender continually to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is how spiritual clarity, endurance, and fruitfulness are formed.

Finally, do not be discouraged when answers seem delayed. Believe in the covenant of the Lord: whatever you ask for in prayer, believing that you have received it, will be yours (Mark 11:24). Your Father will not withhold what is truly good for you. He is faithful, attentive, and perfectly wise in His timing.


Prayer. Father, nothing is too hard for You. I thank You for the privilege of coming before You in the name of Jesus. I trust that You desire to give me what is best. I choose to stop worrying and to start believing. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayers according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Disasters of Rome and World Evangelization

Prayer Journal: December 24, 2025 
24. Sep. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Romans 1:16-17


From Caesarea Philippi to Rome, this is “Rome’s disasters and world evangelization.” It is extremely important. As I said on Sunday in Part 1, I asked God three questions. “Why are this age, the church, and families so poor, with illness and incompetence?” I honestly asked that deep in my heart. God gave me assurance: you will become a witness—yes. So God gave blessings enough for me to be a witness. And among many evidences, the greatest evidence is that through you, the doors of the world are opening. I asked the second question: “Why are churches around the world closing?” I asked that question a lot. “Why are 70–90% of Korean churches non-self-supporting?” At that time, God placed in my heart that we must do the correct gospel and the correct evangelism movement. I received that covenant. And, “If we go on like this, what will happen to the future generations of the whole world?” At that time, I found the term “the Remnant movement.” And I found the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, like this.

Introduction—The Roman church (opposing actions)
So Rome engaged in actions that opposed world evangelization. The Roman church, yes. This Roman church did only what was opposite. It could not be otherwise. Because within humans, other bartizans and fortresses have already been formed, the only thing they can do is that.
1) Growth (evangelism disappears)—church authority (power)
First, there came tremendous growth and church authority. Because they simply set things by law. Rather than growth, evangelism disappeared. There was no need to evangelize. Because if the king says, “We are Protestant,” then it is Protestant. If the king says, “From today we believe in God,” then people believe. As it went like this, when Emperor Constantine declared Christianity the state religion, it became an uproar. Especially for the Jews, it became an even greater uproar. The Jews had labeled Christianity as heresy, but when it became the state religion—church authority became enormous. They thought it was power. This became the path of receiving complete disasters.
2) The tyranny of the church (selling indulgences)
So how far did it go? The church reached the stage of committing tyranny. They created the seven sacraments, did they not? Even marriage as a sacrament—seeing marriage as a sacrament, you could say that is acceptable. But the most ambiguous is confession. Confession is not biblical. And what is also concerning is what is called last rites. Because it is related to salvation: “You are about to die, but we still do not know whether you will go to heaven or hell.” The Bible says, “But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God” (John 1:12), and “Whoever hears My word and believes Him who sent Me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life” (John 5:24). They completely reject these. “Even if you believe in Jesus it’s useless. At the last moment, whether you go to heaven or hell—if you give a lot of offering then it will clink-clink and you will go up to heaven!” Truly, Catholicism is something. That was still okay. But they even sold indulgences. Then what happens? The tyranny is no small matter. This was the medieval era, the Roman church.
3) Luther
At this time Luther spoke. He made an appeal.
(1) Paul quoted Habakkuk 2:4, did he not? “But the righteous shall live by faith…”
(2) Romans 1:16–17—Paul said, “I have endured so much shame.” They humiliated Paul greatly. So Paul said, “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes,” and then in verse 17, “But the righteous shall live by faith.”
(3) Luther—Luther quoted this. A great history took place.
Satan’s kingdom—Jesus said this. Satan’s kingdom—Jesus spoke of it. ① John 16:11–14, ② 2 Corinthians 4:4–5, ③ John 8:44: this Satan forms a kingdom and moves as the god of this world—he is your father. And that is even inside the church. Tomorrow, in the RTS special lecture, among other things, I will organize these three in full and speak to the seminarians about who produced all of this. Such tremendous things take place.

Main body—7/7/7 (God’s kingdom)
So Jesus explained it: establishing God’s kingdom. Jesus explained it for forty days. We must restore this again. Since we cannot defeat Satan’s kingdom by our strength, we win by God’s kingdom—this is what it means. You must hold to this covenant.
① It is possible through the field of one person. If you have grasped this (God’s kingdom), I prayed deeply with this even as I came this morning. I prayed this in the daytime as well. I do nothing else. Jesus told us not to do other things, did He not? And then, you must not be discouraged: ② the dedication of one person becomes like this. The disciple of one person that you leave behind becomes like this. In that one field we dedicated, and a disciple came out, did he not? This is the key. You must enjoy this. Then you will destroy this (Satan’s kingdom).

1. One person’s field
Now, one person.

1) Slavery — When they became slaves, one person—Moses—overturned it.
2) War — When they were continually tormented by war: “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war.” One person, David, completely crushed the Philistines. They were trembling before Assyria, but one person, Hezekiah, crushed it. They could not move a finger before Aram, but one person, Elisha, crushed it. They were taken as captives, but one person, Daniel, moved four kings. This is what it must be. It cannot be done by our strength. This is absolutely not my word; it is Jesus’ word. “Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar.”
3) Captivity — When they were taken captive, in one field, one person—not even many. You must believe it. If you start anew and even one disciple who understands this comes out for you, that is enough. If among the elders, only one person who truly enjoys this blessing comes out, your church will surely be revived. Tomorrow when we record as well, I will tell the church leaders: even one person is enough.
4) A subject nation
5) A wandering people — So what happens? In a subject nation, among wandering people, if even one person mixed in who has this covenant, disasters collapse.

2. One person’s dedication
With one person, what is the reason?
1) 237 nations
2) 5,000 tribes
3) TCK, CCK, NCK
With one person, 237; with one person, 5,000 tribes—this is what happens. This is completely God’s work. With one person, He saves TCK. He saves CCK, and He saves NCK. It is certain.

3. One disciple
After leaving this one disciple, among so many apostles, they did not understand.
1) Paul (Acts 19:8) — Paul understood. Only Paul spoke about the kingdom. He was not even on the field, yet he boldly explained the kingdom of God.
2) Luther — One person—Luther alone understood this in the medieval age.
3) Church leader — One church leader came out to help Luther—properly. With this, it was over. If you stand as one church leader, as one disciple, God gathers everything and goes forward, does He not?

Conclusion: Five kinds of 300% preparation
Then from now, I conclude with five things.
1) 300% studies — First: by the power of the throne upon me, 300% studies. I experienced this; I did it while attending school. From university through graduate school—that is only seven years, but I studied more—ten years. This is extremely full of grace. It is not burdensome.
2) 300% vocation — Make your vocation 300%. I did this when I was an assistant pastor. 300%. Since being an assistant pastor was my vocation, if I was assigned Sunday school, then I had to save only Sunday school, right? Nothing else is more important. If I was assigned middle and high school, then I had to save middle and high school. What is important? God gave me the university and young adults—then I save that. The standard is this. Professionalism, field-orientedness, system—never miss them. I only used those terms, but it is biblical. Simply put, it is saving me, saving the field, and saving people. That means saving the organization. So it is not a difficult expression.
3) 300% work — From now, your work must be like this. Then you will live. Without fail.
4) 300% evangelism — Do not worry about non-self-supporting churches. Do the evangelism movement at 300%. Do not go out here and there. 300%. If you do only one place a year like this, then in ten years it will explode. But if you do not do this and instead keep using tricks…
5) 300% missions — All our missionaries in mission fields around the world—prepare 300% missions.
They call that God’s kingdom. They call that the work of God’s kingdom. They call that the power of the throne. No one can block it. Because it is God’s work, you can begin evangelism gently like that. There is no need to rush. When you are an assistant pastor, not only do you have no power, you also have no reason to use power, right? As an assistant pastor, you simply do what the senior pastor tells you to do, right? Would a senior pastor tell you to steal? There is no such pastor. While listening well to the pastor, you make your part like this (300%). You receive tremendous grace. You truly receive blessings. You must start anew. So you must always acknowledge: the reason you are being preserved now is that you, one person, can save the world. It cannot be done with our ability. Then can it be done with Rome’s great ability? Even less. Can it be done with people who have extremely high spiritual status? Even less. Therefore, only those who hold to this covenant—this is what Jesus said.
Today’s message is extremely important. I will apply it until you understand it a little. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the great love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit who is at work now, be with the evangelism disciples who will save the world, from now and forever. Amen.

As He Had Done Before

Daniel 6:10. Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 


Some say that a person must possess the things of the world to succeed. Others say that faith alone is all one needs. Both statements sound right, yet neither is complete. Without understanding and engaging the realities of the world, believers can become enslaved by those who do. At the same time, without spiritual insight and power, people—no matter how capable—become enslaved by the very things they pursue.

What we truly need is not the world’s power, nor faith detached from reality, but spiritual strength that overcomes the world. That strength comes from knowing and experiencing the power of the gospel. Only when the gospel governs our lives can we engage the world without being controlled by it.

Tragically, many believers remain unaware of the spiritual blessings God has already given them. Consumed by daily survival and worldly success, they remain unconcerned with that which God values most. This spiritual ignorance is the root of repeated failure in Christian living—not because God has withheld power, but because His people do not live from it.

Daniel understood the true source of strength from the very beginning. That is why, when prayer to the living God was declared illegal, he continued to pray “just as he had done before,” fully aware that the consequence would be the lions’ den. His confidence was not reckless courage, but settled conviction born from a life anchored in God.

When Judah fell to Babylon, Daniel discerned the deeper cause of the nation’s collapse—not military inferiority, but the loss of the gospel through idolatry. From the start of his captivity, he resolved not to compromise with Babylon’s idols. He understood that God had not placed him in Babylon by accident, nor elevated him in government for personal success. Daniel knew his calling was restoration—the restoration of the gospel to the nations.

Because Daniel understood God’s purpose, he was never enslaved by Babylon. He lived as a free man in captivity. When King Nebuchadnezzar demanded the meaning of his dream, Daniel boldly declared that wisdom did not belong to humans but to the God of heaven who reveals mysteries. He exalted God publicly and exercised his authority as a child of God without fear.

Later, when King Belshazzar mocked God by using sacred vessels for idol worship, Daniel again spoke without compromise. He confronted the king with the truth—that he had rejected the God who held his life and all his ways. That very night, God’s judgment fell, and Babylon’s power ended. Daniel’s faith did not merely survive history; it redirected it.

In the same way, God has entrusted us with authority—not political authority, but gospel authority—to speak His truth to the world. We are sent not to blend in, but to proclaim the message that reconciles humanity to God. The world we live in is still covered in darkness, disaster, and deception, and people continue to live under the power of sin and the devil. This is why God has placed us exactly where we are.

Daniel’s unwavering faith was met with God’s faithfulness. When he was thrown into the lions’ den, God sent His angel and shut the mouths of the lions. Through Daniel’s deliverance, King Darius proclaimed the living God to all nations. One person’s faith blocked disaster and revealed God’s glory to the world.

This same God is with you today. Do not fear the world as you proclaim the gospel in your mission field. The God who sent His angel to Daniel can surround you with heavenly protection and power. Like Daniel, resolve not to compromise. See the age of idolatry clearly, and choose to reveal the power of God through faith.

Thanksgiving was the key to Daniel’s life. He prayed with gratitude three times a day, even under threat of death. Thanksgiving is possible only when we trust God’s sovereignty in every situation. It is the highest expression of faith and one of the most powerful weapons against the enemy.

Make time to be alone with your Father. Let the Word heal you. Let the Holy Spirit fill you with power. Receive wisdom from above. Restore your strength, your calling, and your vision. Turn every situation into prayer, just as Daniel did.

Even pagan kings recognized that Daniel’s wisdom and strength came from God. In the same way, the world will see that your life is sustained by a power not of this age.

Do not be shaken. Do not be intimidated. Hold firmly to God’s promise: those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever (Daniel 12:3).


Prayer. Father, may today be the most spiritual day of my life because You are with me. May today be the most joyful day because of Your Son Jesus Christ. May today be the most powerful day because of Your Spirit working through me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Disasters of the Early Church and World Evangelization

Prayer Journal: December 23, 2025 
24. Sep. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: Acts 11:1-18, Galatians 2:10-20, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5


Introduction: Roman evangelization is impossible with the early church!
“The disasters of the early church and world evangelization.” What disaster came upon the early church? I will say it simply. The early church could not evangelize Rome. That was the disaster. It was said that they would be witnesses to the ends of the earth, but they could not evangelize Rome. I will present the evidence for this.
1) Acts 11:1–18 (Cornelius)
The very first turning point is this. This is before the Antioch church was established. A figure called Paul returned. It was a tremendous timetable. This was the state of the early church that had received the gospel. They already knew it. Because he went to the house of Cornelius, trouble arose within the church. It makes no sense. They cannot evangelize Rome. We know this and think, “How can they be like that?” but we also do many such things within the church. They waste all their time and squander it over things that make no sense, worldly things.
2) Paul’s evangelism field
And in fact, this early church hindered Paul at every evangelism field. They did not intend to hinder him. What they thought were right words became hindrance. Our church speaks what is right, right? “My thinking is right,” they said, but that became hindrance. True believers must understand this. They cannot evangelize Rome. Do you know with what they hindered him?
(1) Circumcision —“You must be circumcised,” nonsense.
(2) Jews —And still, “You must become like Jews.” Paul became angry and said, “You are living like a Jew—yet you cannot live like a Jew. Why then do you tell others to live like Jews?” What is even more absurd is the apostleship. Simply put, they completely picked a fight with Paul. As Paul’s churches were established here and there and the gospel movement arose, they said you must be circumcised, and you must live like Jews. But how are you to live like Jews?
(3) Apostleship —Then they said, “This man was not among us when the actual twelve apostles followed Jesus.” Paul said, “I am an apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ,” did he not?
3) Galatians 2:11–20 (Galatians 2:20), 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 (Satan’s fortress)
Not only that. Important issues concerning this emerged. It came out like this: Peter said this must be done. James sent people saying it must be done. More surprising still, Barnabas, who went out to the mission field together with Paul, also said it must be done.
Paul was so astonished that he rebuked them in anger. And did he not say this? “Did not all of that die on the cross?” But it did not end there. This is an absolute satanic fortress that cannot be torn down—the church. We must open our eyes quickly. If elders also raise people like this, you will immediately receive answers.
Great powers—237 (5,000 tribes) war
At that time the great powers were waging a 237 war. The most profitable thing is manpower, is it not? They dragged the 5,000 tribes into slavery, and while there were procedures for slaves in the 237 nations, here they simply dragged people away and sold them. There are many records about this, as you already know.

Main body: The throne movement (300% preparation)—“God’s fortress”
So we must completely change this to this. The throne movement—you can do it. Begin the throne movement from yourself at 300% starting now. This is extremely full of grace, blessed, and enjoyable. If you do not do this, you will not know the blessings received through evangelism.
Pastor Ryu’s 300% preparation for evangelism —Now I will give a decisive example. What we planted was not a 35-pyeong place in Busan. At first it was 12 pyeong. How many can fit into 12 pyeong? It was even borrowed attic space in someone else’s factory. From the beginning, we were an upper room. Because the foundation was weak, it would slowly decline and could collapse at any time. But at that time I immediately began this (300%). How did I begin?
① Professionalism 100% —Content worth exploding had been prepared. Professionalism 100%.
② Field-oriented 100% —Second is the field. So we spread the Word movement throughout Yeongdo—about 300 places; as far as I know, 270–280. Wherever I went, I even put up signboards outside so passersby could come in. And we sent letters to all the people of Yeongdo. Sending letters is simple—tell the newspaper company, and they insert them into the paper. We sent 13 questions.
③ System 100% —Third is the system. If you open 300 upper rooms, you must have a system, must you not? There must be people to move it. So urgently we established young adults. At that time we called young adults Baek Un-gyu and Lee Seong-hun and established them as assistant pastors. “Run. I cannot run to 300 places alone. Go and just spread the Word movement.” Among the deacons there were decent people—establish them. Later the entire church rose up. The funniest thing is that there was always an elderly woman who followed me whenever I did upper room ministry. This senior deaconess did not know Hangul. She could not read the Bible. Because she did not know Hangul, when singing hymns she just sang along with others. Why did she follow me? When I did 30 places, she followed all of them. She memorized everything, and on the last Saturday she even did an upper room ministry herself. Unstoppable. Coincidentally, a PhD came from the United States to visit our church and was assigned to her. It showed, did it not? It was obvious she could not read. The PhD was shocked. “An elderly woman who cannot even read is doing this Word movement—what on earth am I doing?” This exploded into the world. It works.
Always remember—by what power? By this power (the throne). This is not my story. Jesus said it, did He not? In such a state (introduction), it cannot be done by another power. From this point, a fortress is formed that can wage war beyond God’s bartizan. Without fail. If such things happen in your work, then it works. We went thinking we were going to 35 pyeong, but it was underground—and that became the fortress. Human ability had nothing to do with it; we entered into this. Therefore, you must begin properly now. This is the timetable for you to truly begin. These people cannot evangelize Rome. At this time God called Paul.
So how did Paul ① begin ? He received 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit. If there is a beginning, there must be ② a process , right? Field healing 100%—you saw it well. He saw the field. Field 100%. Then Paul did not end vaguely; as a result, he ③ concluded like this—system 100%. He received guidance well.

1. Beginning → 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit
Thus, when he began, he received 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit.

1) Acts 13:1–4 — Not a single thing was missing—people/meetings/places were 100%. Even a fool can do this. No matter how smart you are, if you do not receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, in the end you have nothing. It may look frustrating, but do not just work hard randomly. You must perfectly receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is clearly guiding, is He not? If you properly enjoy the prayer of 7/7/7, listen well to the pastor’s sermon, and worship well, it will come out. Always begin like this.
2) Acts 16:6–10 — There are times when things do not go well. Even then, completely—“Come to Macedonia…”
3) Acts 19:1–7 — What is important is that before going to the Hall of Tyrannus, he did this first. This is the beginning. He did exactly what was done in the Mark Upper Room. Here, even greater power of the Mark Upper Room appeared, tongues also appeared. If this does not come out, then do not go. This is the key.
2. Process → Healing 100%
Now, he truly saw the field. Once this happens, it is unstoppable. This is the field 100%.
1) Acts 13:5–12
2) Acts 16:16–18
3) Acts 19:8–20
He only went to three places, yet it was 100%. You must be confident in healing. In the name of Jesus—we simply lack confidence. That is why the sick do not trust you. Even if you were a doctor, a doctor without confidence cannot heal patients.
3. Conclusion → System 100%
Now, such tremendous things occurred.
1) Acts 16:15; 17:6; 18:1–4 — When he first went, Lydia—this is the system. It never shook and accomplished everything.
2) Acts 17:1; 18:4; 19:8 — Jason, Priscilla and Aquila—he had all the systems. The synagogue.
3) Synagogues, marketplaces — He did not only go there. He went to vows and marketplaces as well. In the marketplace, a riot even arose to the point of accusation. How much the system moved! They called him a plague-spreader. In the accusation they said he stirred up riots. That means history arose. Do it exactly like this.

Conclusion: The 300 strategy
Therefore, use the 300 strategy.
10. Disaster zones, blind spots, golden fishing grounds — In disaster zones, no one blocks you from going. Because they are dead, they have become blind spots. Turn these into golden fishing grounds. This is your 300% strategy. From now on you must save all the closing churches and self-supporting churches.
11. Church leaders — And Paul always established church leaders first—responsible church leaders. Then God attached people who would put all their money forward. So you no longer worry about money. He attached people like Priscilla and Aquila who gave everything they earned for their lifetime, and people like Gaius who used everything for the evangelist. You must know that there is not a single place lacking. The greatest weakness of the local church movement and world missions now is that they did not establish church leaders there. Even so, we send church leaders and do things like that. But more important are the church leaders already prepared in that field. You must keep this firmly in mind.
12. Making witnesses — More important, we look for good workers, wait for good workers, and ask God to send good workers. I never do that. If there are people, it works. Make witnesses. There will be explosion there. Make witnesses. From the beginning say, “You are a witness. You are the witness who will save this region.” This is not my word; Jesus said it. Jesus did not say, “Become witnesses,” but “You will be witnesses.” Tell them clearly, “You are better than a National Assembly member.” Are you not better? When Assembly members listen to messages, they come for votes—and even then they sleep. Can they be compared? They cannot. Can they be compared to celebrities? They cannot. Celebrities draw people because of popularity. That is not bad, but it has many losses. Witnesses—there is nothing more to say. Of course, if athletes, entertainers, or musicians come, the atmosphere is good, and the Holy Spirit can work through them. But to truly save people, it is witnesses.

Up to here is Lecture 2 for your new beginning. Do not miss it. We will rest for about ten minutes and then do the final lecture. Even during the break, enter into deep prayer.

Even If He Does Not

Daniel 3:16-18. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”


Today’s Word records the confession of faith made by three young men from Judah before King Nebuchadnezzar. How could captives from a conquered nation stand with such boldness before the most powerful ruler on earth?

That day, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego saw what others could not. They did not merely see a golden image erected on the plain of Dura; they discerned the invisible reality behind it. They recognized the schemes of Satan operating through idolatry, drawing not only Babylonia but the entire world into worship of the devil. They understood the true root of humanity’s destruction—not political power or human tyranny, but sin and Satan working together to oppose God’s kingdom.

Because of this spiritual insight, they knew their struggle was not against flesh and blood, nor against King Nebuchadnezzar himself. As Scripture declares, their battle was against rulers, authorities, the powers of this dark world, and the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (Ephesians 6:12). The king was not their enemy; Satan was.

This is why the crisis did not shake them. They were prepared for this kind of spiritual confrontation. Fear had no place in their hearts because they trusted completely in the covenant of God. They held fast to the promise that the offspring of the woman would crush the head of the serpent (Genesis 3:15). They remembered how the blood of the Passover lamb shattered the idols of Egypt and broke the power of the kingdom of darkness (Exodus 3:18; 12:1-30). They were fully convinced that Satan was no match for the Almighty God, and that darkness could never overcome light.

They knew who they were. They belonged to heaven. They believed that God’s angel armies surrounded them, going before them and standing behind them. With this confidence, they confessed boldly, “The God we serve is able to deliver us.” Even the blazing furnace could not intimidate them, because they trusted in the authority of their True King, whose power transcends all things.

Yet their faith went even deeper. They acknowledged God’s absolute sovereignty when they declared, “Even if he does not…” They believed that God was still good, still righteous, and still in control—even if deliverance did not come in the way they expected. They understood that God had allowed this moment for a greater purpose: to reveal His glory and to bring salvation to Babylonia and the nations through their witness.

God received their confession of faith and responded in a way no one could deny. When Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were thrown into the blazing furnace, King Nebuchadnezzar saw something impossible with human eyes. He exclaimed that four men were walking freely in the fire, unharmed, and that the fourth looked like the Son of God. The furnace became the place where Immanuel—God with us—was revealed. Jesus was there with them.

This fulfilled the promise of God spoken long before: that when His people pass through waters, He will be with them; when they pass through rivers, they will not be swept away; and when they walk through fire, they will not be burned (Isaiah 43:2). What was meant for destruction became the stage for God’s presence.

God’s ultimate purpose was accomplished when the king himself was forced to confess the greatness of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged that no other god could save in this way and issued a decree honoring the God of Israel throughout his empire (Daniel 3:28-29). Through the faith of three young men, the name of the Lord was exalted among the nations.

You are today’s Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Do not be deceived by your present circumstances, even if they resemble captivity. Do not be alarmed when opposition comes; this was bound to happen. This is the moment to restore the absolute covenant of God—the gospel that Jesus is the Christ. Know who you are, and know what has been entrusted to you for the salvation of the world.

Open your eyes to see the kingdom of God advancing wherever you stand. Restore the power and blessing of prayer in your life. Like Daniel and his companions, resolve not to compromise with the idols that have infiltrated your family line, your nation, and the world. God will grant you wisdom and strength beyond measure, just as He did for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

Expect resistance from Satan, but do not be discouraged by your weaknesses. Boldly confess your faith before your True King. When you do, the enemy will tremble and flee (James 4:7). You will experience the peace of God that surpasses all understanding, guarding your heart and mind (Philippians 4:6-7).

Do not fix your eyes on the fire. Lift them to see a land filled with those who are blind, imprisoned, and sitting in darkness (Isaiah 42:7). God will establish His kingdom through you right where you are. He will transform every circumstance into an opportunity to heal spiritual brokenness and proclaim the gospel.


Prayer. Father, thank You for being with me in every storm of life. Let Your peace and rest guard my heart and mind. Use my life to open blind eyes, set captives free, and bring those living in darkness into Your light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Caesarea Philippi and the Disasters of Judeo-Christianity

Prayer Journal: December 22, 2025 
24. Sep. 2024 237 Tuesday Disciple Training, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Matthew 16:13-20


Because you are now the best disciples to receive answers, you must confirm something important today. Jesus asked various questions at Caesarea Philippi. Jewish Christianity is a disaster.
Therefore Jesus asked the important question (Matthew 16:13-20). So the answer we must obtain is this: how do we do world evangelization from this Jewish disaster, for the Jews now? Only those who knew this survived. In the end… No matter how much you train them, if they do not know this, in the end they cannot do it. You must truly make disciples, and when you begin the Word at any time, what kind of prayer you must pray is important. After receiving the Word, what you must conclude with is everything. When church members come to worship on Sunday, they must come with the heart of those who came down from Mt Olive and gathered in the Mark Upper Room. What is a special retreat like this? It is that Jesus especially called the disciples and gave them the message on Mt Olive. You must think like that, and you must gather such people. You keep trying to gather many, but there is no need to gather many. You must gather a few so that many will come. It sounds a bit strange, but long ago when I went into a communications construction company, people kept trying to come in large numbers. No, I went to do upper room ministry, but people kept coming to listen to messages, so the upper room ministry could not happen. So if possible, I keep them from coming. That is better. So do not keep trying to do things by atmosphere, but it must be content. So you must know this.

Introduction – Why did Jewish Christianity receive disaster? They received disaster, did they not? Because if you do not know this, you cannot. If you do not know this, you will go the same way. As a result, the world churches are closing their doors. It is urgent. To speak accurately, because God closes them, there are no ten people to open them. You are the evangelism disciples and the main figures in this timetable. This is very important. Simply put, the Jews received the gospel first, but this Jewish Christianity is the problem.
1) Original sin- Jewish Christianity did not clearly know what original sin is
First. This Jewish Christianity does not clearly know what original sin is. How is it now? World churches talk a lot about personal sin but do not talk about original sin. Right? So there are two kinds of theology that have come out. People must make effort—this is nonsense. Because they do not know… The solution to original sin does not come through effort. Right? There is also a theology that says humans receive salvation by joining strength with God. That is all Jewish thinking. So it does not work. Something must happen, but it does not. This (disaster) continues to come. It can only come, and you must do this. Now even if you raise one person, if you raise a true disciple, God’s works are bound to arise. Because they do not know this (original sin), they keep saying wrong things. So they do not understand the word. Being saved by grace—they do not understand it. The Jews do not understand this (original sin). They do not understand it to the point of getting angry. “No, you must behave well—how can you be saved by grace?” When unbelievers hear it, the Jews’ words sound right. Right? This is the problem. When those who are not saved hear it, the Jews’ words sound right. Jesus’ words are wrong. “Just call on My name”—how can they understand this? Simply put, the Jews did not understand. It is the same even now. If we say only Jesus, the whole world should be moved, but the church is not moved. They do not realize that what is rooted remains the same. It is regrettable. The church will not work. As you know, you have fallen into this environment, right? This is original sin. It is not solved.
(1) Genesis 3/6/11 (trap)- So we said like this, but from the beginning we fell into things like this.
(2) Acts 13/16/19 (frame)- Because they do not know what original sin is, they keep trying to create something. Is that not religion? The gospel is not something you create. The gospel is what God gave; you cannot create it. Religion is what people made. So inevitably Christianity must be separated as a religion, right? But it is not a religion. This became a fixed frame.
(3) Six states (snare)- As you know, we are caught in the six snares, right? It cannot work.
(4) Law- And how do these people come out now? They say you are saved by the law—this is nonsense. Are you saved by the law? Then you must keep the entire law. If this is the condition for salvation, you must keep all of it.
(5) System- Even if it ended there, it would be okay. They even bring in systems. They bring in systems and treat them as even more important.
2) Salvation- ignorance regarding Christ
So, they are ignorant regarding salvation. So things cannot work. What does it mean to be ignorant regarding salvation? It means Christ is not necessary. For them, there is no need. If you just keep many systems and laws, why do you need Christ? They have a very serious problem. The world church is like this now.
(1) Works/faith- So they even fight: is it works, or is it faith?
(2) Merit/grace- They even argue: are you saved by merit, or by grace? Are you saved by works? Are you saved by faith? Are you saved by merit? Are you saved by grace? Fundamentally, they do not know original sin and salvation, which become the path of disaster.
(3) Satan/Holy Spirit- So they cannot understand Satan, so how can they understand the Holy Spirit? Why? Because it cannot be seen, but works and merit are visible, right?
3) Ignorance regarding answers as well
In this way, a tremendous problem came, and they are also ignorant regarding answers. Now, this is very important, but they think that if they receive something, that is an answer. If things go well, they think they received answers. So what do the Jews always boast about? “We are the people who defeated Egypt,” right? They keep boasting that. “We defeated Egypt—don’t you know we crossed the Red Sea? We crossed the Jordan and even tore down Jericho!” Fine. But you must understand it the opposite way. Because they did not believe, God led them to the Red Sea. Because they did not believe, He led them to the Jordan. Right? So they think of answers themselves differently. Spiritual answers must come to us first, and then the next things happen, right?
(1) Matthew 12:26-30, so this is a frightening story. Looking at Jewish Christianity, what did Jesus say? “Each of you has Satan building a house inside you.” If you do not know this, Jews can never do it. Satan is building a house, and Jesus gave this parable, did He not? “A robber is carrying out household goods, but there is someone stronger—will it work?” In other words, we are trying to protect the things in our house, but something stronger than me has occupied the house—this is impossible, right?
(2) Matthew 12:43-45, so if you live diligently, it becomes harder. So you wash, become clean, do cleaning, and it becomes harder. The more you do religion, the harder it becomes. Those who do shaman rituals know it well. If you do a ten-million-won ritual, later you must do a twenty-million-won ritual, later a fifty-million-won ritual. You clean the house and leave it empty. A person not even saved repents and does everything. If you clean the house and leave it empty, beggars even bring their friends. Before, it was somewhat dirty so they had to leave, but if you clean it, they come with friends—he says seven demons enter.
(3) John 8:44 is what He said to the religious leaders. He said it to Jewish Christianity. “Your father is the devil,” the deceiver, the liar, who deceives so that you cannot be saved. He deceives so that original sin will not be solved. So disaster does not disappear. You must remember. In fact, one person who realized this came out among the apostles—who is it? Is it not Paul? God ended it with that. How many people are there who hold onto this covenant and help? Then God works. I have stated a certain proof now. You must know this.
Then what happened to the Jews? The characteristics of the Jews—there are several characteristics here.
1) What Jesus said to do and not to do
They do not do what Jesus said to do. This is Judaism at that time, and it is the same now. They do what He said not to do. This is the first characteristic.
2) Church closure
The second characteristic is what? Even now, world churches are closing their doors. How is it? It is the same. Churches are closing their doors.
3) Disaster (next generation)
And what is another characteristic? This disaster must go to the next generation. So for 2,000 years, Israel’s next generations were, simply put, beaten to death. Scattered throughout the world and beaten to death. Why would God go that far? There is an important story there—there is a reason. Within this, there were people who truly had the gospel. You must hold onto this. Because there were people who truly had the gospel within this, God had no choice but to scatter them. So can Scripture not be interpreted at all? They had to be sent as slaves. Only then can the world be saved. Because the Jews could not realize it, it became disaster. But those among them who realized it—even when they went as captives, history arose.
In some ways, I think a bit differently from others. In some ways, do not make effort—this is a very strange statement. You must not make effort in these things. You keep doing wrong things… Jesus said from the beginning what you must not do. “What you are saying now is not blessing—is it? Why is that blessing? And the prayer you are praying—that is not prayer, is it? The faith life and church life you are doing—that is not it, is it? Are you not just arguing about the law every day? Remove the beam from your own eye, or later you will collapse like a house built on sand!” This is what Jesus said. And they keep the Sabbath, and Jesus said to the sick person, “Pick up your bed and go home,” and He broke that tremendous Jewish disaster. Sabbath? Saving is Sabbath. “Pick up your bed and go home,” and they pick a fight, saying he carried a load on the Sabbath—unbelievable. “Forgive seventy times seven,” only then you live. But they never forgive. Even now, world churches fight like that. Church members fight without forgiving. How can they resemble the Pharisees so much? Even the words are the same. The words are exactly the same as the Pharisees. It is astonishing.

Main point- gospel (grace)
The gospel is grace. By grace—by faith, right? And even that faith is God’s gift. If you truly know what original sin is, if you truly know what original sin, disaster, and salvation are, the way Jews receive answers is like this now. The world church is like this. I must be careful to speak, but it is so. So it is not that churches close their doors; to speak accurately, God closes the doors. There must not be such churches.
To what extent is grace? First, what is it? With only the prophecy about Christ, work arose. That is grace. When Jesus Christ came in the incarnation, tremendous things happened. People only believed this and work arose. Jesus said, “According to your faith let it be done,” and work arose. This Christ promised.

1. Prophecy→ Even with only prophecy, work arose
1) Genesis 3:15 (evangelization of Egypt)
Look at the Old Testament era. They believed Genesis 3:15, and the evangelization of Egypt arose. Right?
2) Exodus 3:18 (Exodus)
Exodus 3:18, they held onto this covenant and did the Exodus. It is the same now. “Do you truly believe in Christ? Do you really know Christ? Who do you say I am? Who do people say I am?” He asked like that. They cannot come out of disaster. They say, “Like John the Baptist,” “like Elijah,” “like a prophet,” “like Jeremiah,” and they cannot come out. When was Jeremiah the Christ? Was John the Baptist the Christ? They were holding onto that. They came out by offering the blood sacrifice.
3) 1 Samuel 7:7-9
Now, they held onto one covenant, and in 1 Samuel 7:7-9 what appears? They offer the blood sacrifice of the lamb. Because of that, two things happened. The Philistines were bound. Right? By that grace, God introduced a figure like David and prepared the temple.
4) Isaiah 7:14 (Babylon)
Isaiah 7:14, with one thing, Babylon was completely educated. Not only to save 237-5,000 tribes, but they educated the king there. God had no choice but to give such answers.
5) Matthew 16:16 (Jews)
Peter, who had no power, made this confession. “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” With this one confession, he completely overcame the Jews. You must remember.

2. Incarnation→ The incarnate Christ came: healing, miracles, resurrection
1) Healing
This incarnate Christ came and began healing. Everyone has no choice but to be sick.
2) Miracles
And He worked miracles.
3) Resurrection
There is something more important. He resurrected. It is scientific. We also resurrect. Later, all bodies resurrect. Right? In 1 Corinthians 15:20, as the firstfruits. In Canada, a Christian association president preached at an Easter service and said that he honestly did not believe in the resurrection. Being honest is good, but he does not know what science is. Resurrection is scientific. He resurrected as the firstfruits.

3. Promise→ Christ promised
Now, He made important promises.
1) Bartizan
He promised the absolute bartizan.
2) Journey
He made us go the absolute journey. This is evangelism.
3) Guidepost
Where does true revival arise? When you set up the absolute guideposts. I discovered seven of them. It can change in the future. Because I go where answers come. Even today, while driving here, I concentrated on this prayer, that this (7/7/7) would come upon me, that this (7/7/7) would come upon the field, upon the retreat location—you must do it. Because Jesus gave it. Then these important answers come out firmly.
You must become true disciples—when you go to church you must have no demands at all. If you have demands, that is already not the gospel. You must be completely changed so you can help others. Even my thoughts are not necessary. If answers have come, why do I need my thoughts? My thoughts are important when answers have not come, right? Can God’s Word and God’s thoughts be compared with me? They cannot. I do not even have time to think. I am busy enjoying this. Right? And in the future, the doors of 5,000 tribes will open tremendously. We must prepare. All church members must begin now. Even if we call just one person among the talented people of the poor and difficult 5,000 tribes, God truly rejoices. They are full of talent, but they receive no benefits. Even if a president is sick, he cannot go to the hospital, so those children cannot go to the hospital. Two years ago, a president came with a deadly illness, but he did not know it. He only said he felt dizzy and could not see letters well. Even if he is dizzy, there is nothing he can do, and even if he cannot see letters, there is nothing he can do. We took him to the hospital. The hospital was shocked. “How did you take an airplane and come in this condition? In this state you cannot take a plane.” If such a person came to our country, collapsed, and died, it would be a national issue. Then what about the children there? But there are talented people inside. There are disciples inside. You must do it with that heart. I am telling you to slowly start prayer from now.

Conclusion: Matthew 16:20 (past/present/future- answer)
Only those who understood this word did God use. “Tell no one,” is this saying do not do it, or do it? It is ambiguous. We must preach Christ to the whole earth, yet He says do not tell. Why did He say that? When did He call them to do it? This is important. You must understand this word to be used. Jesus said this knowing all the past. “With that past, you cannot.” And He said it knowing what situation was happening in the present. More important is the future. He spoke like this. The one who understood this word was used.
Then we should have asked questions about this. Right? We do not. We must not fail to tell believers this. When believers worship on Sunday, they cannot memorize everything. Right? The title, they do not remember. After a long time, they remember, and even if they remember, it still does not work. Because the mind is complicated, it does not work. Right? What should we do? We may take notes to use later, but it is not actually in my mind right now. If you listened to the Word on Sunday or heard today’s Word, you must completely reach an answer. You must reach an answer so that the Word works in you.
For a long time I thought about something: when John gave baptism with water, does that not mean he immersed people in water? How could someone receive such fullness of the Holy Spirit? So I searched for the answer, searched, and found it. 24. That is how I found it. 24. If you think about other things, it becomes complicated. 24. There are many things around that trouble you—24. People keep saying nonsense—24. If not, I will go crazy. Right? They keep talking only about the flesh—24. There is nothing spiritually helpful—24. Only Christ—only then does it work. Then you can see. You must do this.
In some ways, after Sunday worship, church members do not even need to talk with people. You do a little forum later, and you must enter into deep prayer. To what extent? To the extent that even if you forget today’s sermon next week, it is okay. Right? If I ate important food or took medicine, I do not need to remember it; I already took it. This is very important.
When I go to preach, there is not much content. It is just a simple story, but I hardly sleep. I prepare this. It is real. And after Sunday worship, when I return, I fall asleep in the car as if I will just sleep. “What is it that God is telling me to do as an errand?” Unless believers, after hearing the sermon, ask, “What does God truly want from me?” nothing will happen at all.
1) Genesis 37:11
The evidence, dreaming is important, and receiving the Word is important, but “he kept it in mind,” this is important. He kept it in mind…
2) Exodus 3:1-20
After 80 years, one day, at Mount Horeb, God called Moses. It was finished. At that time, the answer came powerfully. There is no time.
3) Daniel 1:8-9
What did Daniel keep in mind? He kept in mind the Word of God that the prophet Isaiah prophesied. So he resolved.
After hearing the pastor’s sermon, you must find God’s will and keep it in mind. Then after that, it is okay even if you forget. How can you memorize every sermon? Gather pastors and ask, “What was last Sunday’s sermon?” They may not recall immediately. So I find this word so full of grace. “Tell no one,” it has a great meaning. Christ spoke on Mt Olive. “Go to the ends of the earth,” that is completely different, right? He said, “Go to the ends of the earth.”
Even in the remaining time, you must enter into deep prayer today. What I am speaking about today is a problem of the age and an eternal problem. We will continue to see it in lectures 2-3. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. We give thanks to God who called the greatest evangelists. Open our spiritual eyes. Let us restore the covenant that saves those and churches in disaster. Let the true disciple movement arise from now. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Faith is God’s Gift

2025.12.21 Sunday 2nd Service
237 Missions Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 2:1-8


Thank you. “Faith is God’s gift”—every time you worship and every time you pray, you must know what is happening right now.
[ The Triune throne (angel) binding darkness ]
Because it cannot be believed at all and cannot be seen with the eyes, the Triune God is working now by the Spirit. Answers will surely come. That is why it says, “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” Right now, at this time. Jesus promised that at this time the power of the throne and the kingdom of God will surely come. At this time God also dispatches the angels of the Lord. It is the same thing, but He also sends the heavenly army. At this time when you are praying now, darkness is surely bound. That is why prayer is tremendous. Satan is bound, I am saying. When does this happen?
[ 1, 3, 8 fundamental strength ]
This is to make it easy to understand. You must surely remember. When does this happen? God is working so that you receive fundamental strength by holding onto the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Christ gave. Beyond simple health and things like that, the standard of prayer is that fundamental strength is produced. This is the standard of answers. What was said at this Friday overnight is that you must hold onto two lines. So treatment is what doctors do. This is talking about what is fundamental. If your hand breaks right away and you pray and just wait, would that work? You must go to the hospital. But your true health is not talking about that. It means this is the time to cultivate fundamental strength inside your body, spiritually fundamental strength.
[ Direction – goal ]
And what else? There is a direction God desires. When you go that way, God is bound to work. No matter how excellent something is, if the direction is not right, the further you go, the more you lose. There is surely God’s goal. You must hold onto what is certain. No matter how difficult the wilderness is, they go to the land of Canaan. That is God’s goal. No matter how much persecution comes, world evangelization will happen. And every day you must receive fundamental strength with this. Even now you must pray to receive that strength. There is something more important left.
[ the remaining one, pilgrim, conqueror, scattered one, watchman, spy, the road ]
The remaining one. The one God left behind. This person is changed into the one who remains and the one who will leave behind, and God mobilizes all blessings to find this person. They have been prepared. We, Immanuel Church and all churches doing the upper room movement, are finding these people across the whole world. If you go to 10 places, you find 10 people. There is surely one in one place. If you go to 1000 places, you find 1000 people. Because God prepared them, we do not waver.
God left behind pilgrims who will be prepared and who will pilgrimage and evangelize. It is not only that. He is not leaving behind people who only receive your help, but conquerors who can reproduce and conquer darkness. There is no doubt. God sent them in advance. The scattered ones. These are important things in the Bible. It does not end with this. He prepared watchmen who save a region. This is what you must always remember when you offer your missions committee dedication worship. It is not only that.
They are spies who go to save the age of disasters without anyone knowing. Spies do not go because someone tells them to come. They go in and find it. Without being known. In English it is a little strange, but it is “Spy.” No one told them to come, but they went. It is not originally used like that, but they go in even when they are blocked from entering. Later, for all peoples they raise a banner. These people build up the road.
What we are making now—the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age—is a road that will raise up tremendous works in the future. God cannot help but work like this. So in a sense, Jesus said not to pray, did He not? Just enjoy this. Just enjoy the kingdom of God. He said it at the end as well. For 40 days, the kingdom of God. I am confident. Just enjoy that.

▣ Introduction_ Ephesians 6:12
Now, why is that? We are looking at Ephesians today. At the very end of Ephesians, it says like this. What does it say? “This Satan—your battle is not against flesh and blood, not against people, but a battle against Satan.”
1. Rulers
This Satan is gripping rulers and killing people. It is clearly recorded that Satan is doing this. That is right. There are even countries that kill people. Possessed by Satan, they kill children. They go and, just because someone believes in Jesus, they shoot and kill them. Politics is like that. It is strange, right? Politics blocks other religions from entering. It prevents people from believing in Jesus. You must be able to overcome this. That is what I am saying. He spoke of the secret to overcoming that. He says He will make you overcome it.
2. Authorities
Authorities. This is the individual. A powerful person is captured by Satan and blocks the gospel. In Ephesians it is explained like that throughout.
3. World rulers
What did it say as the third? “The world rulers of this darkness.” Simply put, those who practice evil lawlessness are gripping the world. Satan moves this and makes it happen, so block it.
4. Evil spirits
And look again. “The spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Strange idol-worshiping groups come out, especially, and stir things up.

▣ Main point_ salvation
Then, since we have the qualification to receive this answer, what on earth is salvation? We must first know and enjoy this. What is salvation? You could understand it as, believing in Jesus and becoming God’s child. If you do not know salvation well, you evangelize in a strange way. If you go to a hospital and say, “Believe in Jesus and go to heaven,” that person can feel very bad. Of course, you cannot say wrong things just so that the person will not feel bad. But that is wrong. You see someone holding a sign that says, “Jesus heaven, unbelief hell,” and it is right but wrong. You must never do that. What must you say? “You are becoming God’s child now.” Right? “Life and death are entrusted to God. You are becoming God’s child now. And when you become God’s child, you pray in that name.” You must teach like that. Then this person hears the accurate gospel. If a person is living perfectly fine and you go and say, “When you die, go to heaven,” it is right but wrong.
1. Past problem solved (Ephesians 2:1)
This is the first. What is salvation? Solving the past problem. Today, Ephesians chapter 2 verse 1 clearly says, “dead in transgressions and sins.”
1) 12 strategies
Now they have fallen into Satan’s 12 strategies. They cannot come out.
2) Sin, transgressions
And sin and transgressions, simply put, original sin and personal sin. They are bound. Transgressions, personal sin—if you repent, it can be dealt with somewhat, but original sin cannot be solved by repentance. Right? People do not understand sin well, but “sins and transgressions”—if it is transgressions, it is what we did wrong. But true original sin cannot be solved.
3) Dead state
So it says they are in a dead state. Do dead people work? They cannot. This has been solved, I am saying. This is salvation.
2. Present problem (Ephesians 2:2)
Salvation is going to heaven later, but it is also that the present problem has been solved. This is Ephesians chapter 2 verse 2. It is expressed very precisely in Ephesians. What does it say?
1) The ruler of the power of the air
Right now you are being liberated from the hand of the ruler of the power of the air. Right now. I am sorry, but the churches of the world will not evangelize well. Why? Because they do not know what is real. So it will not go well. They will all close. Quickly, the Remnants of the whole nation and the whole world must rise and deliver the correct gospel.
2) Three organizations
Now many spiritual problems are taking place in many three organizations and religions. They are extremely capable organizations. Where is their main stage? America is the stage. But the place with the most mentally ill people in the world is America. In the world. Now it has become even worse. In the past, people who were mentally ill were obvious. But now it is not obvious. Before, there were differences—people taking drugs had strange eyes and things like that. Now they sit there neatly and fashionably. But they are insane. If they feel offended, they shoot. If you look at them while passing by, they feel offended that you looked and they shoot. They go into schools and shoot students studying and kill them. They are insane. It has increased greatly in Japan too.
3) By nature children of wrath
What does it say? In Ephesians chapter 2 verse 3, by nature children of wrath. Could it be otherwise? Because they are bound here. Being liberated from here is salvation. Telling this is evangelism.
3. Future problem (Ephesians 2:6)
Salvation is solving the future problem. This is Ephesians chapter 2 verse 6. “He raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” If you truly pray for evangelism and missions, if you pray for 237, God will mobilize everything with the power of this blessing. And those who have no answers must quickly realize. Why? Because the direction does not match God. No matter how high your IQ is, if your direction does not match God, your goal does not match either.
3. Future problem solved
1) Hell background
You must convey this fact, but what is it? Even before going to hell, they are living in a hell background. It is not that they go to hell later. Of course they go. They live like hell now and then go. For us, going to heaven is natural. We enjoy the blessing of the throne and then go. This has been solved here. Solving this is salvation.
2) Eternal things
What is this? Now it is connected to eternal things. Not just a simple future. So we do not die. We go to an eternal place. Our soul is not buried somewhere after dying. It just leaves our body.
3) Deliver to the next generation
So we must deliver this tremendous blessing and fact to the whole world and to the next generation. Being born well in the next life? You must not believe such blatant lies. There is no such thing.

▣ Conclusion
Then God gave these amazing blessings, but how do we receive salvation? How do we receive this blessing?
1. Cannot be saved – Christ
We cannot be saved. We have no condition or ability to be saved. Already we are not God’s children, and because we are fallen into this darkness, God must solve this problem; we cannot be saved. So God promised Christ. We cannot be saved. We cannot meet God. So He gave the word Christ. We were not saved by faith. By grace. God gave it. The method is not the condition; the method is “through faith.” The condition is not faith. “By grace.” We have no condition to be saved. God promised and sent Christ, and by that grace we have been saved through faith. “And this faith also is God’s gift.” He explained God’s tremendous work.
2. Grace
That we were saved is God’s grace. Faith is also God’s gift. “He will show it in the coming ages.”
3. Every day, every hour, every matter
What does that mean? You must enjoy this power every day. Why? Because you must convey it to the coming ages. If you were not going to convey it, there would be no need to pray. If you stay still, you go to heaven anyway, so why do anything? Every hour, you must confirm now. Now is the time answers come, and what is now? We gathered using the phrase 237-5000 tribes, a phrase used nowhere else. Why are there so many terms? If you want to do it, there are many terms. If you have many children, there are many names. If you have none, you do not need names. Every hour. And you must succeed enough to do world evangelization. Every matter, 300%. That is what it is.
Resolution
So you must make several resolutions. Because the conclusion has come. Now those who have fallen into darkness, into that swamp, are waiting. If you move, you sink more. You must not talk about conditions there. Such people are filled there. You must not talk about law there. They have fallen into the swamp. You have seen a swamp, right? A swamp is different from water—if you swim, you sink more. You cannot come out and you keep sinking. Then you die. At that time you must not talk about conditions. You must throw a rope unconditionally and tell them to grab it. You must rescue them. You must have that 중심. Everyone is in the swamp.
So our Remnants, in order to rescue them, must have strength. Have summit time. Prepare to go out into the world. They listened to Jesus for 50 days, 40 days, and then prayed for ten days, and on the day of Pentecost, works took place. What does that mean? Go out with spiritual strength. You must not go out without strength. Especially our young adults, go out after preparing 300%, unconditionally. 100% refers to your expertise. The other 100% refers to field research. Field research does not need to be grand. You must actually do it. If you go to evangelize a high school, you must research where the bad kids hang out, and where the kids who wander around hang out. You must research everything. There is a gangster in the school who does not listen to teachers, and he even looks like an adult. I called him to a bakery. I did not hit him hard, but as he came in, I slapped him. I slapped him confidently. Why? Because this is an elder’s son. If you do not investigate, you do not know. I did the background check thoroughly. This is an elder’s son. He fell. So he was shocked. He is a kid who is not afraid of teachers. So I knew he was an elder’s son, and remembering myself in the past, I shared my testimony. He changed. It is filled.
Those who are sick must fear nothing and receive fundamental healing. Receive fundamental strength. Try and see who wins. Go with a fundamental mission. That is your evangelism and missions. Open the road of the three ages of our church. God cannot help but answer. Conscientiously, do not keep lying—if the evangelism answers in the Bible do not come, it is nonsense. Right? Do not endure. Why are you enduring, trying not to receive God’s blessings? Do not endure. Pray correctly. You must not keep holding out while it does not work. The churches of the whole world are closing now. Pray correctly and go to save them. This is not my story. It is what Jesus said. Now one year is ending. From next year, may you surely receive greater real answers, in the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us match the direction God has given, make us witnesses who receive true answers by doing what God desires most, and give us strength so that we can deliver the gospel to places that have not heard it at all. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
