– Bartizan of the 3-day Weekend Age 78 –
The Bartizan of the Only (Acts 1:14)
Summary
All church leaders and working professionals must become witnesses. But there is something important in becoming a witness.
▣ Introduction: The Church
The church must do three things.
1. Me, the Saints — the Secret
There is a secret as to why God called me to be part of your church. And the saints beside me also carry God’s secret. This has gone unseen. It cannot be helped. The talk behind people’s backs is always negative, hurtful, and far too shallow. You must change this and bring it to life.
2. The Secret of Saving Unbelievers — 5 Foundations
The secret of God for saving unbelievers has five foundational elements. Every individual is collapsing. The early church began with the dallakbang (small-group discipleship gathering). Everyone must come alive through other people, but instead they die — this is team ministry. Every family is struggling — this is the mission home. Every workplace is full of deceit — this is professional ministry. There are so many people who are spiritually and physically sick — this is the branch church. We must hold onto this secret.
3. 7·7·7 Works — 5 Paths (Next Generation)
Through the works of 7·7·7 there are five paths for saving the next generation. What is the standard by which we say “the word of the Lord came”? What is the standard for saying “I pray”? What is the standard of success? What is the background of one who is saved? What is the timetable of one who is saved? These five things must be made known. If you truly receive that blessing, an important answer emerges. If you seek the secret of saving the next generation, history begins to happen exactly as much as you seek.
▣ Introduction: The Church (1 Corinthians 4:1)
There are two things people ought to see and realize when they look at us. “Regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries of God.” When people look at us, Christ must be realized. Within that Christ lies the mystery of God that saves that person. Making that discoverable is what it means to be a witness. Every field carries God’s mystery. If you cannot find it, you cannot evangelize. Every nation’s culture carries God’s mystery. If you don’t know that, you cannot do missions.
▣ Main: Those to Whom the Answer Has Come Out
Those to whom the answer has come out have no “reason.” Those who are here, even without having received full training, matter more than others. You must receive this in order to become a witness.
1. The Bartizan Without Reason (Acts 1:14)
There is no reason. This bartizan must stand. If a bartizan stands, history happens. If the bartizan of unbelief stands, unbelief’s history happens; if the bartizan of illness stands, it hurts. That’s why the early church leaders had no “reasons.”
1) False accusation of heresy — they were falsely branded heretics.
2) Legal judgment — they were legally judged as “a wrongful organization.”
3) Persecution — they were persecuted. Did those who did this win? They were utterly ruined. The early church was victorious — because of people who had no “reasons.” Before God’s power, there is no “reason.”
2. The Bartizan of “Only”
Because they knew “only.” Now our church leaders must live. If you simply grasp the covenant firmly, that is enough. With just one word from you, history happens. With one word from you, darkness collapses. Then your prayers begin to be answered.
1) Acts 1:1 — meeting the risen Christ.
2) Acts 1:3 — Christ explained your background. He explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days.
3) Acts 1:8 — nothing else will do it. “Only when you receive the power of the Holy Spirit will you be witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He promised to give that power. If so, then it’s fine even if you are poor. This is where it begins.
▷ Church leaders and working professionals — you are the pillars of the church. Has crisis come to your church? There is no such thing as “crisis” for the church. It is a word people mistakenly invented, a word people made up. There is no crisis for God’s church. The early church tore down darkness everywhere it went. It is a secret. The opposite of the Holy Spirit is evil spirit. Build the bartizan of “only.”
3. Uniqueness, Re-Creation
This follows from that point. Carrying uniqueness, re-creation comes into view. This kind of church leader must arise. Those attending church worship must become witnesses. So the darkness that throws the church and the world into confusion must be bound.
1) Acts 2:1-47 — then the highest answer came. The upper room in Jerusalem.
2) Acts 6:1-7 (Philip) — from among them a church leader rose. The representative figure is Philip. Through even one person who understood, God brings about His work.
3) Acts 11:19 — what kind of figure emerged from among these church leaders and working professionals? We must not view crisis as merely crisis. Stephen’s death caused great tribulation. The church leaders viewed that as a blessing.
▣ Conclusion: The Three Todays (Practice)
So we must seek the “three todays” every day. We must remain within the flow of the word, the flow of prayer, the flow of evangelism. It is about practicing the small things. One day the door of world evangelization will burst wide open. God is the one who does it. It must be experienced.
Transcript
Thank you. All church leaders and working professionals must become witnesses.
“The Bartizan of Only” (Acts 1:14)
The bartizan of only. The people of Acts chapter 1, verse 14.
But there is something important about becoming a witness. Think of all the people I have ever met in my life. Did our parents talk to people and pray and go to church and do things like this? What matters more is our parents’ talk behind closed doors. Which is the real one? The talk behind closed doors — that’s the real one. People are all decent, so they treat everyone well, greet politely, do everything well. But when I quietly observed my parents growing up — when I would sneak a look as a child — the talk behind closed doors was always difficult, poor, hard, sick — this kind of talk. If you quietly listen to teachers’ behind-the-scenes talk rather than their public testimonies, it’s really hard. “How can this person be a teacher?” — everyone I’ve talked to up to now has been like that. And even in America, when I met many people and prayed and preached in front of them, and then heard what was said behind the scenes — in some sense that is a person’s true face. I felt, “This person truly cannot receive God’s answer.” If that’s the case, then becoming a witness is simple for you.
▣ Introduction: The Church
The church must do three things.
1. Me, the Saints — the Secret
It is discovering and telling the saints and myself about God’s secret. What’s important is that this has gone unseen. There is a secret as to why God called me to your church, right? And the saints beside me also carry God’s secret. This has gone unseen. So it cannot be helped. The talk behind people’s backs is always negative, hurtful — it can’t be helped. Being negative and wounded, even if the level is a bit higher, that’s fine — but too shallow. You must change this, and bring it to life.
2. The Secret of Saving Unbelievers — 5 Foundations
There is God’s secret for saving unbelievers — what is it? Five foundational elements. Every individual is collapsing. Dallakbang — this began in the early church. Everyone must come alive through other people, but instead they die — team ministry. That’s what saved people in the early church, you know? Every family is struggling — the mission home. Every workplace is full of deceit — professional ministry. There are so many people who are spiritually and physically sick — the branch church. We must hold onto this secret. Right? Without this secret, of course it is bound to be this way. Elders come to church and speak one way, then go home and speak differently. It can’t be helped without this secret. The startling secret that must be discovered before God has gone unfound.
(1 Corinthians 4:1)
That’s why Paul spoke this way — “Men ought to.” He said “men ought to,” even though “God ought to” would be right. Men, when they look at you, must realize two things. What are they? “Regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries of God,” it says. When people look at me, look at you — “Ah, that’s Christ. Ah, that’s what the mystery of God is. Ah, this is why He called me.” — this must come across. Right? Nothing else is of any use. When people look at us, Christ must be realized. Within that Christ lies the mystery of God that saves that person. Making that discoverable is what it means to be a witness. The pastor’s sermon must convey this from the pulpit, and when you meet someone, that answer must come out. Every field has God’s mystery. If you cannot find it, you cannot evangelize. Every nation’s culture has God’s mystery. If you don’t know that, you cannot do missions.
3. 7·7·7 Works — 5 Paths
Through the works of 7·7·7 there are five paths to save the next generation. It says “the word of the Lord came” — what is that standard? You must make that known. “I pray” — what is that standard? You must make that known. What is the standard of success? You must make that known. What is the background of one who is saved? What is the timetable of one who is saved? You must make these five things known. These five things were the main content of this Remnant Conference. If you truly receive that blessing, an important answer comes out.
▣ Main: Those to Whom the Answer Has Come Out
You must seek this out. Those to whom the answer has come out — there is no “reason.” You matter. Those here matter more than someone who received no training at all, right? You must receive this in order to become a witness.
So you must find it out (introduction). God’s secret about me, and God’s secret about the people I must save.
3. 7·7·7 Works — 5 Paths (Next Generation)
The secret to saving the next generation — you carry this, that’s what I’m saying.
Even now, if you seek this out, history will happen exactly as much as you seek. I personally speak this to whomever I meet first. When I first started ministry to factory workers, I spoke to the young women who had come to work in the factories. “If you think you’ll just receive your monthly wage here and live on that from now on, you are truly a pitiable person,” I told them. “You must understand the gospel and receive answered prayer to save your family, to save your future. What should you do going forward — you must study about that too. To do that, you must know what the power of the gospel is, what prayer is.” These girls were so shocked that, without my even telling them to, they brought others with them. God worked to make them into complete disciples.
If you understand what I pulled out in the introduction, that’s all you need. Most people — their front and back are different. What’s behind is the real thing. However low our IQ might be, however young we might be, we can sense that. For example, in our home when I was little, back when I was little — at district (dallakbang) worship gatherings. It’s obvious — everyone gathers, keeps saying come, come, and it’s the “district lesson worship.” No matter how much you’re told not to, food gets prepared at home. That’s how easily it goes — eating and such. There’s a program before people leave. I sit there listening to that talk. That talk becomes the real problem later — that’s the real thing. Unbelief here and there, other people’s stories, inaccurate things. Slander of others. This is how it comes out. That’s actually the main thing. The district worship is just an excuse. No matter how poor my memory was as a child, listening quietly, none of it helped me at all. If we go by what these people say, we’d have to kill off all the adults. We must not be deceived. You must save the church. Right?
There must be an answer. “Men ought to regard us as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries of God” — this is a blessing given with the word “ought.” It’s a truly important statement. Nothing about it is difficult. That person is being deceived right now. We must help them not be deceived. When church leaders gather, when you worship, it’s the same. Prayer too — but we must help each other not be deceived this way.
1. The Bartizan Without Reason (Acts 1:14)
First. There is no reason. This bartizan must stand. Because if the bartizan stands, history happens — if you build the bartizan of unbelief, unbelief’s history happens. Right? If the bartizan of illness stands, it hurts. It cannot be helped. That’s why the early church leaders had no “reasons.” There were “reasons” that disappeared. “Because of this, because of that, because of this other thing” — all of that means don’t do it. The early church. These people had no “reason.” Why did they gather? Of course they should gather. No — “if you go there you’ll die”? It doesn’t matter. If you go there, big trouble.
1) False Accusation of Heresy
They were falsely branded as heretics.
2) Legal Judgment
And they blocked it by law — legally judged, “that is a wrongful organization.” Really, what a laughable world. Daring to brand Christ with a heresy label and blocking it by law.
3) Persecution
They were persecuted.
Then did those who did this win? They were utterly ruined. Right? The early church was victorious. Because of whom? Because of people who had no “reasons.” No reason. There is no “reason” before God’s power.
2. The Bartizan of “Only”
Because they knew “only.” Right? Now our church leaders must live. That’s why simply grasping the covenant firmly is enough. With just one word from you, history happens, they say. With one word from your mouth, darkness collapses, they say. Right? Then your prayers begin to be answered.
1) Acts 1:1
Meeting the risen Christ. No more words needed. It’s meeting the risen Christ. Nothing left to say.
2) Acts 1:3
Christ gave a tremendous explanation. He explained your background. He explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days.
3) Acts 1:8
And He promised — nothing else will do it, right? “Only when you receive the power of the Holy Spirit,” He said. “You will be witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He promised to give that power. If so, then it’s fine even if you’re poor. Fine even if you have nothing.
Now, this is where history begins, right? We tend to try to make things happen when we have nothing. But history begins from nothing. What if you’re completely persecuted? That is where history begins.
Church leaders and working professionals — you are the pillars of the church. You must be certain of this. Right? Nothing else matters. If this (the answer) doesn’t happen, everything else is useless. Has crisis come to your church? There is no such thing. Right? There is no such thing as “crisis” for the church. It is a mistaken word — a word people made up. God’s church has no crisis. Isn’t that right? This must be made certain. This is what the early church became (Main point 2). Everywhere they went, darkness collapsed. Everyone who came here as church leaders and working professionals — everywhere you go, darkness must collapse. It’s not about pretending to have faith. It’s not about going to these people and saying, “let’s hold on to our faith together.” That’s not it. Tear down the invisible darkness. It’s a secret. What is the opposite of the Holy Spirit? Only receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit. What is the opposite of the Holy Spirit? If you don’t know, that’s a big problem. What is the opposite of the Holy Spirit — isn’t it evil spirit? Build the bartizan of “only.”
3. Uniqueness, Re-Creation
This follows from that point. This comes from here. Carry uniqueness, and re-creation is seen. This kind of church leader must arise. There’s no need to say more. You must become witnesses. Right? Those attending church worship must become witnesses. So the darkness that throws the church and the world into confusion must be bound.
1) Acts 2:1-47
Then this happened — the highest answer came. The upper room in Jerusalem. This kind of thing happened.
2) Acts 6:1-7 (Philip)
From among them, a church leader rose. God worked through people who understood. The representative figure is Philip. Right? Through even one person who understood, God begins to bring about His work.
3) Acts 11:19
What kind of figure emerged from among these church leaders and working professionals? You must not view crisis as merely crisis. Stephen’s death caused great tribulation. At that time, this was viewed as a blessing. By whom? By the church leaders. When it seemed a great difficulty had come to the church, they viewed that as a blessing. Acts chapter 11, verse 19. Those who were scattered because of the persecution over Stephen gathered together.
This is the end of it. What will you do? It doesn’t matter. How much will you do? That also doesn’t matter. Hold onto the covenant and wait. Now you must save the church. Right? You must accomplish world evangelization. Can it be done without receiving an answer? He promised.
▣ Conclusion: The Three Todays (Practice)
So you must seek the three todays every day. Fulfillment of the word, answered prayer, the flow of evangelism. More precisely, the flow of the word, the flow of prayer, the flow of evangelism. You must remain within that. It is practicing the small things. No need for anything big. Practice the small things. One day the door of world evangelization will burst wide open. God is the one who does it.
It must be experienced. This is an answer you must absolutely receive in your lifetime. All church leaders and working professionals — build the bartizan of “only.”
Prayer
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, the eternal love of God, and the work of the Holy Spirit be with all working professionals and church leaders from now until forever. Amen.
