The 237 Nations and the Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (41)
– World Military Missions Conference –
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 17:18
So this time, five missions will go forth.
[ First Mission – Support Team of 24, 25, eternity for Military Missions ]
This is the First Mission: a support team of 24, 25, and eternity for military missions. Even with only two people, works arise. As you know, in Egypt it was not a large number. Their characteristic was 24. “24” is a somewhat different matter. There are many who pray when something happens to them. That is not truly 24. It is doing your work within prayer. It is completely different. It means you have fully taken on the rhythm of prayer. Thus you enjoy every day, in every matter, every hour. If even two such people arise for supporting military missions, works arise. Those who saved Egypt, the supporters who saved Philistia—they were all “24.” Others were merely workers passing by for the time being. This team must start appearing.
As you know, the fifth mission is what I plan to give in the first service tomorrow, and there are not many. In fact, if you all do not know this (24), you essentially do not know prayer. You do not go and receive answers. You go carrying the answers. That is called 25. When you go, you go already carrying the answer that can re-create. You must receive that blessing—and you have received it. This is also called eternity.
So quietly, after this military missions conference, such people will arise. Do not recruit them—that is all fake. They must arise within prayer. “Ah, I must pray 24 for military missions”—one might say that, but actually, even that is not the point. There is someone who is enjoying 24 prayer. When that person comes to, “I must pray for military missions,” then that is 24 prayer. These (25, eternity) are bound to follow. Then that person is not praying only for military missions. These are bound to follow. Then that person is not praying only for military missions. A person within 24 prayer prays for military missions. Right? That person will surely, within 24 prayer, pray for the pastor. Right? So, to speak a bit extremely: if there is no 24 of prayer for the pastor, or if an elder is not within 24 of prayer, he is, in fact, of little consequence. Look at Scripture. “I must do 24 in prayer”—that is not what it means. Right? A person who eats three meals a day does not grit his teeth to eat; he simply eats. This is the First Mission.
Now then, since time is short, I will now introduce those who entered into this timetable.
1. Exodus 18:1-21
In Exodus 18:1-21, three important figures who were soldiers appear.
1) Moses
2) Joshua
3) Caleb
Moses, Joshua, and Caleb. They were the greatest as soldiers, but they were people who had the greatest prayer secret in this (24, 25, eternity) part.
— Jethro, Rahab
People who prayed 24 for these men appeared—Jethro. He did no great work at all. Some saw works arise by doing military missions once—Rahab. No one received blessing like Rahab. She received a thousand-year answer. When Jericho collapsed, that house lived. It did not end there. She went together into the land of Canaan. There she married. There she bore children. Among them arose the figure named David. It is a shocking matter. What we see and which path we take is important. You must not run around recklessly. There is the path God wants. Even when some answer comes, we need not get overly excited, right? The characteristic of those who received thousand-year answers in the world is this: they do not get excited just because answers came; they are not shaken because problems came. Right? You know only after time has passed. Therefore, Rahab did only one thing—she hid the spies. She truly received a thousand-year answer.
2. 1 Samuel 1:9-11, 1 Samuel 17:18
Let us take an example—1 Samuel 1:9-11 and 1 Samuel 17:18—you know these well. The birth of Samuel appears; here is the content of David going on an errand before fighting Goliath. It did not happen “just so.”
1) Mizpah movement
At that time, after Samuel grew up, he led the Mizpah movement.
2) David
And then, as you know, after time passed, a figure named David arose. He anointed David. As you know, David defeated Goliath.
3) Philistia
Thus, for the first time, Philistia was broken. Before that they were always defeated.
— Hannah, Jesse
Here there are two important people who did “24.” Hannah. This is how important she is. Before that, Hannah always prayed the wrong kind of prayer. There was no answer to that. She came to pray properly. And here is Jesse. These kinds of people—within prayer. Only if you can receive a thousand-year answer can world evangelization be possible. Right? We live only a hundred years, but if we receive a thousand-year answer, nine hundred years remain. With that we do world evangelization. When farming, to Isaac a year’s portion should be given, but he was given a hundred years’ portion. Right? That is very important. And he lived on that for a year, and with the remaining ninety-nine years he did world missions. To such people God gave a thousand-year answer.
When those doing military missions look at you, and especially when foreigners look at this—is this not a miraculous thing? This, from the start, is a thousand-year answer. Looking at Elder Kim Gi-ho, Pastor Kim Won-young, and the teams—when you look at other teams, they pull tricks and pocket the money. Our military missions team absolutely does not do that. Wow… If you are people who pray, you would see it—but you are not seeing it. That is why these (24, 25, eternity) must appear. Seeing and receiving this, I repented first. I will support two million won a month. Others may come to realize their calling and do likewise. Some may even do it out of irritation: “Fine, I will do it too.” Anyway, more is better. Military missions are important. Who else would call foreigners like this and carry out the calling together like that? The number is not the issue—this is a thousand-year answer, a thousand-year answer.
3. 1 Kings 18:1-15
Look at 1 Kings 18:1-15.
1) King Ahab
Here is a figure whom no one could stop—King Ahab—who is now doing evil politics.
2) Jezebel
And he met a wife who matched him perfectly—Jezebel. The two were too well-matched as a couple.
3) 850 false prophets
To this they even added 850 false prophets. It was chaos.
— Obadiah, the widow of Zarephath, the Shunammite woman
A movement arose that completely smashed this. Here, three people arose who prayed 24 for military missions. Obadiah—he truly did 24. The widow of Zarephath—what she gave, though small, is not the point; she prayed 24 for the military and the nation. The Shunammite woman who helped Elisha. Because of such people, world evangelization is overturned.
You must know what prayer is. It means my day is within the blessing of prayer—24. It means my strength comes from within prayer—24. It is not the same as other sayings. “Just study?” You will half die. It means you study within the strength of prayer that God gives. That is 24. David said so: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” Right? That is 24. You cannot stop such a person. We do not understand “24” well. “Do you mean we pray 24 without eating or sleeping?” That is not what it means. Those who do 24 prayer surely have prayer points: bartizan, journey, guidepost. There, prayer for the pastor must come forth. If there are only two such elders, surely works will arise in the session.
4. Acts 10:1-45
Look at this. The scene of meeting Cornelius the soldier appears. Do you know what this is?
1) Gentile missions
It became the shortcut to Gentile missions. Not only that.
2) Evangelization of Rome
It became the beginning of the evangelization of Rome.
3) World evangelization
It may look like nothing, but soon the evangelization of Rome is world evangelization.
— Simon the tanner, Cornelius
See which figures are attached at this time. Peter, of course. Simon the tanner—that means a leather worker. A leather worker Simon who did business with the military. But this man was someone within this prayer. To what extent? To the extent that Peter stayed at his house and prayed there. There he saw a vision calling him to Cornelius. Thus, through these two men, an immense thousand-year history arose. Cornelius—indeed.
▣ Conclusion_ 24, 25, eternity
Now, we think of “a lot of prayer,” but what conclusion comes? Before praying for military missions, there is something that must first appear.
I must have this enjoyment (24). And I must receive this answer (25). Then, for the nation, the most important thing—inevitably I will pray for military missions for the nation. Right? For example, if you are already a person who holds to these people’s names and prays 24, you cannot help but pray. You cannot help but pray for the pastor. But because I am not doing this (24, 25, eternity), whether I do or not has no meaning—because I cannot. Right? If you truly restore 24 of prayer, everything is restored. First, the five powers are restored. Then the power of the throne appears—25. A masterpiece surely comes forth—eternity. Re-creation is bound to happen. Such a team must arise and a support team of 24, 25, and eternity for military missions must be formed. Never force it. Truly within prayer. Therefore, if you truly pray properly, you will not suffer budget issues or economic difficulties. Truly, if you pray properly. “Though a famine came over the whole world, only the church at Antioch was blessed,” it says.
Today was Lecture 1 of the World Military Missions Conference, confirming the First Mission. Let us pray.
Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, the eternal love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with the supporters of military missions who are within the prayer of 24, 25, and eternity, now and always, forever. Amen.
