Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
…Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
…Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
…Born of the Virgin Mary,
…Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
…Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
…And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 6:1-13, 1 Corinthians 3:16
Isaiah 6:1-13. In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.”
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.
5 “Woe to me!” I cried. “I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty.”
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, “See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for.”
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?”
And I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
9 He said, “Go and tell this people:
“‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding;
be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
10 Make the heart of this people calloused;
make their ears dull
and close their eyes.
Otherwise they might see with their eyes,
hear with their ears,
understand with their hearts,
and turn and be healed.”
11 Then I said, “For how long, Lord?”
And he answered:
“Until the cities lie ruined
and without inhabitant,
until the houses are left deserted
and the fields ruined and ravaged,
12 until the Lord has sent everyone far away
and the land is utterly forsaken.
13 And though a tenth remains in the land,
it will again be laid waste.
But as the terebinth and oak
leave stumps when they are cut down,
so the holy seed will be the stump in the land.”
1 Corinthians 3:16. Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
Message
Three Kinds of Strength
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Remnants must have three kinds of strength. Why? Because in Isaiah 6, God promised that “remnants will arise” in the future. Isaiah saw the power of the throne. This power of the throne connects with us. It says, “You are God’s temple.” Therefore our remnants must cultivate three kinds of strength.
▣ Main Message
1. Watchman Power (300%) – We must cultivate the strength of a watchman. Make it 300% unconditionally. Whenever you go somewhere even now, if you discover what I must absolutely do, what is absolutely needed here, and what will absolutely be needed in the future, 300% begins. And though I am doing work now, I must prepare 300% for the future. That is for a lifetime. When Joseph went as a slave, he did cleaning at 300%. His original talent was not cleaning, but he did what he had at 300%, and without needing to submit a résumé, people came to fetch Joseph. They came to fetch him from the prison, and they came to fetch him from the palace.
1) 7 Bartizan
2) 7 Journey
3) 7 Guidepost
▷ Keep praying over these. When a remnant wakes up in the morning, do it even for 10 minutes.
2. Tacit Power – invisible strength.
1) Spiritual Power – When you pray, the most important spiritual power emerges.
2) Intellectual Power – It must be the intellect that comes out from within spiritual strength. If the order is reversed, it becomes a serious problem.
3) Physical Power – Physical health also arises.
4) Economic Power – Economic blessing follows. In particular, the threefold economy must follow.
5) Man Power – Human resources follow naturally.
3. Future Power – You must absolutely have strength regarding the future.
1) Acts 13:1–4, 13:5–11 As it is in the Bible, God leads perfectly, and this work arises.
2) Acts 16:6–10, 16:16–18 Though the door seems blocked, He leads to a greater door.
3) Acts 19:1–8, 19:8–20 If you can see this—boldly explaining the kingdom of God—this work arises.
▣ Conclusion
Do not be deceived. If remnants hold firmly to the covenant and wait, this strength is bound to come. Only then will you win. The word “Christ” is a word of life to those who are to be saved, but it is a fearful word to Satan. Remnants must have this strength. Then it is even more urgent for the adults. Therefore we must do it as they concentrated in the Mark’s Upper Room.
