Scripture Reading: John 19:30, Acts 1:1

---

There are seven guideposts in the Bible that we must absolutely know. From them come answers to prayer, revival of your work—everything comes out from there. So it is not something you should know, but something you must absolutely know.

Calvary. The first guidepost is the Calvary event.

Mt Olive. The second guidepost is Mt Olive where the mission was given. If you do not know this (Mt Olive), you absolutely cannot pray.

Mark’s upper room. The third guidepost is Mark’s upper room. I received a tremendous amount of answers through this (Mark’s upper room) part. The word “upper room” came from there. For example, when I went to the place I pioneered in Busan, there was no church, no members, nothing, in a 12-pyeong space. So I opened 276 upper rooms. Then the entire region of Yeongdo was completely overturned. Work and evangelism are all contained inside this guidepost.

Antioch. Then the very important guidepost is the Antioch church.

Asia. And now something very important: when they first went out as missionaries and completely received the Holy Spirit’s guidance—Asia.

Macedonia. And to accomplish an even greater evangelization, God blocked the doors and gave them a turning point, that was Macedonia. All the paths were blocked, but while praying, He said, “Go to Macedonia.” In this way, the first person they met there was Lydia.

Rome. And what is the final guidepost? Rome. Just like this, everything from the beginning to the end of the Bible is connected. So the answers that arise at each crucial point are related to our evangelism, related to our business, and related to our prayer answers.

Among these, what we must look at today is the Calvary guidepost. This guidepost does not appear and then disappear, but it is the eternal answer. It is that important.

▣ Introduction: “It is finished.”

Among the seven sayings spoken at Calvary, the most important was: “It is finished.” This is an extremely important word for us.

1. Disaster
Simply put, He finished all the disasters and suffering that were coming. Disasters cannot be blocked by anything.

2. The 3 curses
And regarding the 3 curses, He completely ended them. Humans suffer because of these. If you are not in Christ—the people who talk about geomancy—there is a certain logic in what they say. You get caught by all of it. And those who are demon-possessed say something, and sometimes it sounds logical. That is why unbelievers go there. But if you are in Christ, everything is finished. We do not even need to protect our own day. But unbelievers must protect certain days or else it is not okay for them, right? We have no such things. This word “It is finished” is a tremendous term. We can actually enjoy it. Unbelievers even have fixed days for moving to a new house. If they get it wrong, they have accidents. When I first went to Yeongdo, there was a ship captain who owned a boat. Boats are very expensive. And this man invited us, saying he would believe in Jesus, so we went. He said accidents happened every day. What could he do? Every day there were accidents. Not long ago, his older brother, while crossing between boats, fell and died. He could not handle this anymore. So he invited us, and after worship he accepted Jesus Christ. I was shocked. Under the floor mat—there were talismans. Everywhere talismans were attached. Even inside the refrigerator there were talismans. And not only that, he carried talismans around. I told him, “It is all finished.” Being in Christ is an enormous statement. So the 3 curses—Satan, the background of hell, and disaster—are all completely finished.

3. Light
And because He has called us as children of light, Christ on the cross has resolved all curses. Some people feel very offended by this. Then keep receiving curses. It is finished.

▣ Main 

1. Destiny — Christ
So first, what is it? This guidepost changes my destiny. Through the Calvary covenant, our destiny is completely changed. So new believers have absolutely no need to fear. Someone accepted Jesus Christ and came to the church but said they dreamed every night. What kind of dream? A dream where demons appeared. I told them, “Even if they appear, it’s okay.” Because they stayed a long time, such things still remain. It has no connection to you. So if we really know we have received salvation, it is truly tremendous.

1) The Triune God
Why? Because the term “Christ” allows us to enjoy the work of the Triune God.

2) The throne
Not only that, but we enjoy the blessing of the throne through the word “Christ.”

3) Past, today, future
And not just that, He completely resolved the past, today, and the future. Someone criticized me for preaching this (past, today, future). And then he got in big trouble. Scholars rose up and said, “Isn’t this correct? You are the heretic,” and the scholars stood up against him.
(Hebrews 13:8)
Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” The Early Church was so thankful for receiving salvation that they cried and cried. We have heard so much that we no longer feel much, but the Early Church embraced one another and wept loudly.

2. Future

What is it? Calvary is the guidepost that changes our future.

1) Matthew 28:16–20
Understand just a few Scripture verses. From Calvary, the resurrected Christ said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, and I will be with you always.”

2) Mark 16:15–20
“I will be with you with the power of the throne. In My name drive out demons.” Even, “Lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” When a sick person comes, I am assured they will be healed in the name of Jesus Christ. I have that assurance. You have it too, but you don’t have assurance. You do have it. “In My name they will drive out demons, they will lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” And in verse 20 it says, “The Christ seated at the throne worked with them.”

3) Acts 1:8
Even for the last part—He could have just said, “Be My witness to the ends of the earth,” but He said, “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” You must believe this. All of your standards must be set on world evangelization. What is the standard of students’ studies? They must study to the point they can do world evangelization. As will come out in the 1st and 2nd service sermons today, you must prepare 300%. That blessing has already come.

3. Background
Also, the Calvary covenant becomes our great background. We used to say, “we have backing,” right? It manifests that background.

1) Background of the throne
We have the background of the heavenly throne, having changed from children of the devil. It is invisible. You do not need to worry about destiny. You do not need to worry about superstition and such things. It is completely the background of the throne. If you face great difficulty, a great blessing will come. Believe it. If you suffer great pain, in some way it means you are a great vessel. This is the background.

2) Background of answers
Not only that, but when we pray in the name of Christ, we have the background to receive answers.

3) Absolute
And what is it? No matter what problem comes to you, this background is the background of “absolute.”

So listen well to the 1st and 2nd service sermons today, and you must pray and receive strength, and the sick must be healed.

▣ Conclusion: 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts
So what conclusion comes? A very important conclusion comes: Christ ultimately explained these bartizans, journeys, and guideposts. Keep praying with this. I keep praying with this and received many answers. If you pray holding onto this covenant without being deceived—Jesus gave this.

〔24〕 Enjoyment
So, I will talk more during the message later, but just pray comfortably, comfortably. That is 24. It is not that we literally pray 24 hours, but we always enjoy prayer comfortably.

〔25〕 Concentration
And at least once a day, you must concentrate and pray on this. That is 25. You must remember this. Our elderly people—during the time of concentration—you become younger. You must remember. During the time of concentration, the brain becomes alive. The brain grows until 25 and then it dies, collapses. But what you concentrate on is important. Concentrate on this (7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts). If you continue concentrating on your worries, what will happen? Or if you continue concentrating on what people say, what will happen? You cannot hear God’s Word. You must concentrate on this (7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts).

〔Eternity〕 Masterpiece
Then what is eternity? This is where masterpieces come out. It is absolutely so.

So what I want to specially ask is this: if our remnants only do a little bit from a young age, this truly helps. And for those who are aging, do not just listen unconditionally—do it. Then in your remaining lifetime, God’s masterpiece will appear. That is the answer. I bless that as you pray this throughout the whole day today, healing takes place and it becomes a precious day where you receive great strength, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Grant the power You promised to the people of God gathered in this place today. Let them save the world with answers the world does not know. As they pray throughout the day, let sickness depart from the sick. Let today be the day they receive the blessing of the economy of light. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

Last Pulpit (40 Days) – Mt Olive

Jesus’ last pulpit is important. He explained for 40 days. He explained for 40 days, and this place was Mt Olive. If so, it is tremendously important.

「Bartizan (imprint), journey (root), guidepost (nature)」

What He spoke here was that we should raise a firm bartizan. What kind of bartizan is it? One that allows you to go on the journey. As you go on this journey, important gatherings like the one you are in now will arise in various places. That is what we call guideposts. So the Triune God promised that He would be with us. And He explained the work of the kingdom of God for 40 days. And He said He would give power. What kind of power is it? “I will give you eternal power by which your past, present, and future are all resolved. I will grant you the five powers that can transcend time and space.” Now, this must be imprinted inside you. He did the 40 days to imprint this. As it is imprinted, now it takes root. This is no ordinary matter. Because people are imprinted with the wrong things, the more they live, the more wrong roots they put down. Without knowing that, even when their mind has gone wrong, they only look at that. Where? While going on their journey, they put down their roots. And later, it becomes something that cannot be changed.

All answers must come out from here. Even healing—its answer must come out from here. Power—its answer also must come out from here. Among you, if there is anyone sick, what must you change? You must change this (imprint). What has been imprinted.

Now he has passed away, but at one time in our country there was an old man who healed cancer patients whom hospitals could not heal. Word spread, and doctors even filed complaints and such things happened. “He is not even a doctor—why is he healing cancer?”—in that way. Someone we know went there. And that person also went and was healed. So if he healed what the hospital could not heal, is that not tremendous? Because someone I know went, I asked. I asked what they did there. Among the things they said, one thing caught my ear. They said he gives you some kind of blanket. I asked, “What kind of blanket does he give?” They said that when you cover yourself with that blanket, you sweat so much. So you have to replenish water and such. That is what it is. He changed the imprint. He drew out all the toxins from inside the body. The principle of everything is that when this (imprint) is changed, then it becomes root and nature with this.

Holy Spirit’s guidance (100), Holy Spirit’s working (100), Holy Spirit’s fruit (100)

When Jesus spoke of the 7 bartizans, He spoke of you receiving 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit. The guidance of the Holy Spirit is not 99%. It is 100%. So He said, “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” When you go on the journey, you go by the working of the Holy Spirit, and this is 100%. Next, you will now bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is 100%, and that is the guidepost.

Now, when you do business or do your studies, this will arise here and there. Those of you who do business must also do it this way. For remnants, every remnant who was prepared for this was unconditionally used. So for our remnants, this is a chance. Once you get older, it does not work well. You must memorize many things by the age of 25. After 25, in fact, things do not get imprinted. Why? Because the brain is cut off. It begins to disappear. So for older people, the brain disappears very quickly. That is why I tell them to do a bit of breathing. Then dementia comes, and it comes in this way. So you must have already been prepared while you are still in school.

「7 journeys」

Among these, today is the 7 journeys. And next, the 7 guideposts will come. The journey is really living itself. The bartizan that God has given does not just sit there; it moves. So in the old days, even the tabernacle was made to move. Why? Because they had to go through the wilderness path. And with that, they had to go all the way into the land of Canaan. That is what is called the journey.

〔Concentration〕

So for older people, it does not work well. So there is a way even for older people. That is what we call concentration. That is why they did the 40-day concentration. Because they were old.

You remnants, even if you do not do concentration, you can go on from now on continuously. You have received an incredible blessing. Even if you stay still, you will succeed. Right now, you do not know. When we were young, we never even saw gatherings like this. There was no organization like RLS or anything like this. So everything we learned was all wrong. All worldly things. No matter how well they taught, it was without God. Can that work? Fortunately, when I was your age, I started having conflicts. Adults say something when you have conflicts, but you must have conflicts. Adults say, “Do you have no thoughts?” You must not have thoughts. It is not that you have no thoughts, but if you have too many thoughts then, it is difficult. If you think too much when you are young, you become an obstinate old-timer. Your age right now is exactly right. How thankful is this. So, to put it simply, for older people, God just grabbed them and beat them down for 40 days. You do not have to be grabbed and beaten like that—you can just go. This answer will surely come.

Now then, all the members must check these 7 journeys.

1. Triune God

The Triune God is invisible. Right? Your soul is also invisible. When your soul meets the Spirit of the Triune God, that is what we call “saved.” Because He works by the Spirit, fleshly people cannot realize it. “We had three people with mental illness in the family.” What can you do? Because they do not know the cause. Because they do not know spiritual things. So when you look at the beginning of worship, when the bell sounds “clang,” we say, “God is Spirit.” It means that God is no longer a visible idol. “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” In the old Bible translation, it said, “must worship in the Holy Spirit and in truth.” So the phrase “in spirit and in truth” is better. Because we are spiritual beings. This Triune God is doing three things even now.

1) Fulfillment of the Word

Fulfillment of the Word. So we must listen to the Word accurately. So now for you, the words that Jesus spoke 40 years, 40 days, 2,000 years ago have been fulfilled until now.

2) Answer to prayer

Even now, answers to prayer are taking place. So we pray. Right now, while you are praying, it looks like nothing is happening. But answers are approaching. You went through hardships and prayed a lot, but there is no answer. It comes at the exact time.

3) Work of salvation

And then the work of salvation takes place. So we do evangelism. Even if you just set your heart to evangelize, this work will take place.

I will preach about this in the first service, but in a certain sense, even if you do not set your heart to evangelize, works take place. How? How? Let us see that in the first service.

2. Throne → 10 secrets

So this Triune God, for you who are going on your journey, has completely given ten secrets that come down from the throne. Is that clear? You go holding onto this. These secrets are inside you as well. You just have not found them, but they are there. This is prayer.

3. Throne → platform

And there is also an unshakable platform that comes down from the throne. This is something that comes down from the throne, from above. The person who knows this must surely win and will not be shaken, no matter what happens. When you later succeed, you must keep this in mind, and of course you must prepare well. But if you become a great person, tremendous attacks will come in. If a beggar is in the station getting free meals, no one attacks him. But if you become president, if you become a member of the National Assembly, then attacks pour in. In fact, members of the National Assembly suffer many difficulties. They attack one another, and so on. At those times, if you do not have this kind of strength, you get hurt. You face great difficulties. Some people even become sick. You have the ten secrets and the unshakable platform. You go while enjoying these things.

〔25〕 Work of the kingdom

So when we say, “Find the answer in the 7 journeys,” that is 25. Why? Because it means that the work of the kingdom of God arises. The kingdom of God has come upon you, and wherever you go, works arise. To say it again: when the kingdom of God has come upon me, we call that bartizan. When we see the work of the kingdom of God being fulfilled, we call that the journey. You understand, right? You must start prayer that finds answers exactly with this. When things are hard, you may be praying a lot, and it looks like answers are not coming. Right? Some people look at that wicked person and pray, “Why does that guy not die?”—but he does not die. Later, you will see that God fulfills proper answers. For the brothers who sold Joseph, destruction did not suddenly come. It is not that Joseph prayed a lot and they were ruined. Simply put, Joseph’s brothers spent their whole lives receiving handouts. Joseph spent his whole life saving people. That is how answers come.

4. Throne → flow

Then what is the fourth among the 7? God—here you must always know this word “throne.” The flow of the throne—these are the nine flows. Past, present, and future. Also breadth, height, and depth. Left, right, and above.

If we use cars as an example, those who know how to drive will understand. With a car, there is the rear-view mirror. Then you also have the side mirrors. You cannot go without those. When the car is moving, there are mirrors on both sides. And there is also a mirror above. That one is to see behind. You go looking like this. If that is not there? That is a problem. Likewise, you go looking exactly at this flow.

5. Throne → assurance

And then another journey you go on is that there are five assurances that come down from the throne. It is certain. You must believe it. If we check that a bit, if you believe that Jesus is the Christ, you are saved. In 1 Corinthians 12:3 it says, “No one can say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except by the Holy Spirit.” If so, the second assurance is that now, without needing to offer blood sacrifices or kill sheep and cows, He said, “Pray in My name.” You understand what that means. There are many difficulties along the way. In 1 Corinthians 10:13, this is the assurance of victory. When He said that, what comes right before it? “He will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.” If tremendous difficulties come to you, that is a large vessel. Right? If strange trials keep coming to you, that is a strange vessel. And for a small vessel, God does not give big trials, only small trials. But you will surely win. Then there are two more. They are very important. Everything that was in your family line, all your disasters—He has finished them. That is the assurance of the forgiveness of sins. Someone argued about this. “So if you believe in Jesus, Christ, is everything just finished?” The Bible says so. Jesus Himself promised, “It is finished.” Inside I think, “Then you do not finish.” Then you will die.

6. Throne → lifetime

What is the sixth? It does not end with that. Now from the throne, He has given you the answers of your entire life. Now. For us adults, when you enjoy this answer, everything you have lived becomes a platform, and what is left becomes the road.

When I just look at RLS and RGS, I am so thankful. Truly you have received blessings among blessings. You will remember later. There is something I want to whisper in your ear. What is it? If your studies are not going well, do not do them. Just do them roughly. Why? Because from what I have seen in life—there is always a way. God has prepared the road of your entire life. Long ago, I said something like this, and the students liked it so much. The parents contacted me. “What if they do not study?” By no means. They do even better. And they truly succeed. Because of you, your parents later become happy. “Wow, so this is how it is.” So, as I will say in the first service, evangelism is not at all difficult. Evangelism is difficult because people do not know evangelism.

7. Throne → camp

Then what is the end? All your life is the camp of the throne. You are the main characters. You must remember this. Every person is the main character of the road they walk all their life. You must find this. In a movie, the main character is predetermined. Right? That is a movie. But life is not like that. Every person is the main character of the road of life. You must find this. Right? So every road you walk is a camp. You thought you were going through hardships, but later you see that it was not that. I was born in a poor home, but later I saw that that was not it. I was living so hard for my parents, but later I saw that that was not it. It was camp.

Especially this week, since I am going abroad, we are recording, but it is the same. Listening to the message is the same. But today RLS and RGS are here. I feel so good. Adults do not even clap. Our remnants clap. Let us give a clap of glory to God.

▣ Conclusion_ [ The three-day weekend age ]

Now then, what conclusion do we get? Become the main figures of the three-day weekend age.

Friday – forum

On Friday, whether you are alone or together, a forum must take place. Your important forum. If possible, remnants should do reading forums. You must not just read and end it. Because there are backgrounds in reading, forums are necessary. You may not know now, but once you grow a bit and go out into the world, our country is divided into left and right. Divided. Then you will have to choose one side. For that, reading forums at school are absolutely necessary. When did this left and right come out? After the Middle Ages—when the church collapsed so much in the Middle Ages, this began to come out.

Saturday – witness (talent)

On Saturday, you must meet witnesses and become witnesses. And so you confirm your talents. It is okay if you do not discover your talent quickly. Because God will surely make you know.

Sunday – flow

On Sunday, you ride the flow. The flow of the Word, the flow of prayer answers, the flow of evangelism. You ride these three flows. It is not “Do evangelism.” It is riding the flow. In a certain sense, you help the struggling friends at school well. That is evangelism. Right? Also, in school, you begin to do your studies inside this (the entire message). That is evangelism. For doctors, if they truly help their patients warmly and help their spiritual healing, that is evangelism. For teachers, it is not walking around carrying gospel tracts, but helping children discover their talents inside this blessing. That is evangelism, and in fact it is the highest evangelism.

The teachers here are doing the highest evangelism. More importantly, we do not know what kind of person will come out from here. No one knows. Only God knows. So this is a sign. The fact that you came to this school is a sign that God will specially take care of you. That is certain. So we are thankful. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. We thank You for blessing us to raise the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts. We thank You for giving our remnants the one and only, greatest opportunity on earth. Give us more strength so that we may enjoy it. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2024.10.20 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-47

---

Jesus explained the things about the kingdom of God for forty days. But there is a part that our believers do not believe the most—not that they don’t believe it at all, but the part that feels the least connected to themselves, and that is this (the throne). It is not that they do not believe it—because Jesus spoke of it and it is in the Bible. But this seems to have little to do with me. How do you think about this? Jesus explained it for forty days, but it does not have much to do with me. When this (the camp of the throne) is formed, it becomes the eternal answer. The people who believed this gathered and were praying, and then this kind of answer (Acts 2:1-47) came. That was the Mark’s upper room.

▣ Introduction

There is something you must understand a bit historically. Whenever the gospel was proclaimed, there was always persecution, but in the early church there were about seven kinds of situations.

1. National politics (religion)
At that time, it was not like now where you vote and so on; national politics and religion were tied together. Because of this, even if it was wrong, if the state told you to do something, you had to do it. It was that kind of age.

2. The label of heresy
So these people put the label of heresy on the early church that was preaching the gospel. Historically, this has never failed to happen, but it started from the time of the early church.

3. Legal imprisonment
Now, when it had come this far, it did not end there—if you preached the gospel, they would imprison you legally. How many people do you think would survive if it became like that?

4. Execution
And if you kept on preaching, they would execute you. If such a situation arose, what would you do? Almost everyone would leave. They are being labeled as heretics and killed.

5. Social isolation
In reality, they also cut them off from society. What can you do about that? That is what the early church went through.

6. Team formation
And then, to continually arrest the early church that preached Jesus Christ, they formed teams. That was the situation.

7. Rome (250 years)
What was more difficult was that they made use of Rome. They used Rome, saying, “That’s a heresy, that thing.” When it came out like this, Rome persecuted Christianity for 250 years. That was the situation of the early church. Did it really end that way? You know who won, don’t you? But at that time, they did not know. Now that everything has passed, we understand, “Ah, right, the gospel won.” We understand it like that. But think about what it would be like if, not even knowing that, such hardships suddenly came upon you. So only the genuine ones remained. Everyone else ran away. Even though Jesus had healed their diseases—if it were us, we should stake our life and say, “Because He saved my life, I will also die for Him”—but they all ran away. The miracle of the five loaves and two fish happened, didn’t it? All the people who ate that miracle bread ran away. At that time, a small number remained, and these people accomplished world evangelization.

[ Bartizan of the throne ]

What did He give them? Jesus established the bartizan of the throne. To put it simply, He established the bartizan of prayer that enjoys this. He told them to wait for what was promised. That promise is the bartizan of the throne.

[ Journey of the throne ]

And then He spoke of the journey of the throne—the journey that goes with this power. He said, “To the ends of the earth.”

[ Guidepost of the throne ]

In this context, He even explained the guidepost of the throne: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

Now, this is hard to believe. Who would believe it? It has less value than one thousand won. With one thousand won you can at least buy some snacks. That is how it has become. You must think carefully.

(120 people)

But only those who believed gathered. One hundred twenty people. Everyone else ran away and 120 people remained. This number is recorded in Acts chapter 1. These people gathered and began to pray. And world evangelization took place. I want you to enjoy this blessing (bartizan of the throne, journey of the throne, guidepost of the throne) and begin this prayer.

▣ Main: Camp

Then let all of your life become camp. Then the whole path we walk becomes camp. Today, hold onto this and pray. Because this reality is invisible, unbelievers cannot understand it at all. Even those who believe cannot understand it at all. But God gave this promise, and with this promise the small minority defeated Rome.

1. The Holy Spirit – inside me (1 Corinthians 3:16)
We must look at this in a few aspects. Why is it a fact? Because the Holy Spirit of God comes upon me. So He says this: “Do you not know that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” Because the Spirit dwells in you, He says, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?”

There was a time when our country’s president fled and stayed in Busan. That was during 6.25. The place where that president temporarily stayed in Busan’s Amidong still exists today. When I went there, I saw the bed the president used, the wardrobe, all still there. They preserved it as a historical site. When I looked at the wardrobe, it was the kind of wardrobe that, even if I offered it to you, you wouldn’t take it. It was just a trace showing, “Ah, he stayed here and left.” But if a president stayed there, that is the Blue House. Even a worse thatched-roof house, if the president stayed there, that is the Blue House. No matter how shabby a hut may be, if the king is there, it is a palace. What does this mean? No matter how weak and worthless you may seem, if the Holy Spirit of God dwells in you, you become the temple. You must believe this. Then the power of the throne comes upon you.

2. The gathered church
Also, we have gathered today. The gathered church is also the temple, so when we worship, the power of the throne comes upon us. What comes upon us?

1) John 19:30
In John chapter 19 verse 30, “It is finished.”

2) Acts 1:3
And then in Acts chapter 1 verse 3, He explains about the kingdom of God.

3) Acts 1:8
And this answer came to the Mark’s upper room. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

Because the world sees this as worthless, you can easily receive this blessing. Others may try to seize the position where you are working, but they cannot take this (the main content). During today’s worship you must pray that this will be the time when the power of the throne comes upon all the believers. Something happened that people could not possibly know. These people (from the introduction) rose up like this, but they could not overcome the gospel. You must believe this.

3. The field (Matthew 18:18-20)
The field where you go is church, and the power of the throne comes upon it. Jesus said in Matthew chapter 18 verses 18 to 20, “Where two or three gather in My name, there am I among them.”

4. The temple – Mason war
There is another field where you can receive the greatest answer, and that is our church, the temple. The gathered church is church, but when we build a sanctuary and so on, that is the temple. Upon this, the power of the throne comes. So in the end, it is the Mason war. Was an idol shrine built, or was the temple of God built? This is a tremendous war. So when kings came to power, because they did not know God, what did they almost all do? They built idol shrines. That is why we build the temple.

All of these (in the main message) are fields where the power of the throne comes.

5. Shadow of the throne
And the church is the shadow that explains the blessing of the throne. In a sense, you can see it as a station that leads to the throne.

6. True worship
So when you give true worship today, everything comes upon you. I hope you will gain victory through worship today. If you receive answers, everything else is not a problem. You may say, “My family is like this and that,” but it does not matter. If you receive answers, you can save even the worst family. There is no need to blame your husband or wife. If you receive answers, that is enough. People say all kinds of things about who is like what. If you receive answers, that is enough.

▣ Conclusion: 24, 25, eternity

So you must build the 24, 25, eternity bartizan of prayer. If you build this bartizan of prayer, that is enough. You must hold this as your covenant today. When Joseph received answers and enjoyed this power (of the main message), it was fine even if he went as a slave. Do not be deceived by what you see in reality. Even when he was falsely accused and thrown into prison, it was fine. What is more surprising is that even when he became prime minister, he continued to enjoy this blessing as it was.

I hope that you will gain strength today. You must receive answers. Then everything will be resolved. Wherever you are, if you enjoy this working of the Holy Spirit who comes with the power of the throne, others will live because of you.

Moses realized this late. Moses thought, “Shouldn’t I succeed in the palace?” That sounds right. But until he turned eighty, he did not succeed. On the day he turned eighty, Moses realized this. So he lived forty more years, and there was no one who received as many answers as Moses. Right? In our country there is an issue with how people view the elderly—that is because we are still a developing country. If you go to Japan, almost 100% of the elderly are working. Saying “100%” may be too extreme, but they work as if it were 100%. If you go to France, there are people who are dressed really stylishly. Most of them are elderly. They show all the style they can. Wearing a sharp suit, wearing a hat—they are elderly people. Because he was old, Moses said, “I cannot do it.” That was not true. At eighty he realized this and for the next forty years he enjoyed the greatest answers.

So when one person receives answers, it can become like that. Why? Because they enjoy this blessing of the throne that can move the world. If even one of you receives answers, many people will live.

There is something you must keep in mind. Our remnants must also keep this in mind.

1. Big problems
If you want to do big things, big problems will come. That is how you will find big answers.

2. Background
Also, when God truly wants to use you, your background may be difficult. Right? If He truly wants to use you, your background may be somewhat difficult. That was the case for all seven remnants. But with the power of the throne they evangelized the world.

You must firmly hold onto the covenant. I said this last week too, didn’t I? Our deaconesses must firmly hold onto the covenant. So those who are older must receive even greater grace. Remnants must completely prepare the bartizan for the future.

3. Sickness
It can be like this too. There are many sick people whom God has used. God has called even all these things so that He may use you as witnesses to save others.

During this whole day of worship, as darkness is broken, I hope you will pray all day for the power of the throne to appear in every place related to you. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that today will be the day you gain great strength. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant the power of the throne to the people of the Lord who are worshiping today. Grant them spiritual strength that no one can take away. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1, 3, 8

---

Most of our church members think, “I need to pray,” but in reality, they are not really enjoying prayer very well.

Bartizan, journey, guidepost
“Lifetime answers – eternal answers”
When you continue to pray holding onto the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that Jesus gave, lifetime answers begin to come. In one sense, they are lifetime answers, but Jesus did not speak this only to each of us individually. They become eternal answers. Jesus explained this for 40 days on Mt Olive. So of course, we must find this.

▣ Introduction – 300%
When you find this answer, the very first thing that comes is the preparation of “300%.” Your studies, job, and work must all be done this way. Evangelism must also be done this way.

1. 100% guidance of the Holy Spirit
For example, Paul almost completely had 100% professionalism, and at the same time he received complete guidance of the Holy Spirit everywhere he went.

1) Acts 13:1–4
In Acts chapter 13 verses 1 through 4, the place, the work, and the people are all completely revealed.

2) Acts 16:16–18
Even when the road was blocked, as he prayed receiving complete guidance of the Holy Spirit, God led him to Macedonia.

3) Acts 19:1–7
Before going to Rome, he first went to the school of Tyrannus. And before going to Tyrannus, this kind of event (Acts 19:1–7) took place. These are contents that show he received the complete guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is the 100%.

2. 100% field
Then he prepared the field 100%.

1) Acts 13:5–12
Look how deeply he penetrated the field. In Acts chapter 13 verses 5 through 12, in a town completely covered in the darkness of a sorcerer, the work of breaking that darkness arose.

2) Acts 16:16–18
He healed the fortune-teller possessed by an evil spirit, the one who had seized control of the entire town.

3) Acts 19:8–20
At Tyrannus, he healed many incurable and sick people. He came to truly see the field. Here it is being applied to evangelism, but your studies, job, and work must also be done like this. If you do things without this kind of preparation, it becomes very difficult.

3. 100% system
And Paul built a system that could continue 100%. If you look carefully through the Bible:

1) Synagogue and school
Why did Paul go into the synagogue? Because there were children there—he saw the future. He also went to the school. That was because he saw the future.

2) Church leaders
In Macedonia, starting from Lydia and then Priscilla and others, he raised many church leaders.

3) Rome
Then he saw Rome.

This is how 300% preparation was firmly in place. When this happens, invisible yet very important answers begin to come. It is not just “62 points”; the grace we have received is far more than ten thousand things.

▣ Main Message

1. Essence
However, when you naturally hold onto this covenant, the 21 “essences” of life come out.

1) Calvary, Mt Olive, Mark’s upper room
What are these 21? On Calvary, He finished every problem. On Mt Olive, He gave the message. In Mark’s upper room, they experienced it.

2) Heavenly mandate, calling, mission
This itself is the heavenly mandate. It is the calling, and it is the mission. It follows naturally.

3) Surely, inevitably, absolutely
This part is surely, inevitably, and absolutely bound to follow.

4) One heart, whole heart, continuation
And they held to the covenant of Christ with one heart, with their whole heart, and in continuation. That is how they became witnesses.

5) Only, uniqueness, re-creation
As they did so, only, uniqueness, and re-creation had no choice but to come.

6) 24, 25, eternity
They enjoyed this as 24, 25, and eternity. These parts are extremely important.

7) Imprint, root, nature
As these things became their imprint, root, and nature, healing began to take place.

2. Happiness [5]
From here, five aspects of true happiness come out (they are written in the study material). First of all, true thanksgiving in prayer begins to arise. Without genuine thanksgiving, your scars cannot be healed. As you follow the flow of the Word in this way, your spiritual state is restored. Then, as they concentrated for 40 days in Mark’s upper room, this system was formed. So healing began to arise, and the five important things that show the future of their lives came out.

3. 7 talents
At the same time, the seven important talents within your occupation emerge. In one sense, these follow naturally. You must surely teach this to the Remnants.

With the Remnants, during the three-day weekend age, you must do reading forum and then give them the answer with the Word. Many people say reading is important—there is no need to argue about that. Reading is meeting . You can meet many worlds without actually going there. But there is something important. For me, reading has been one of my big concerns. The question is: What book did that person read to become like that? That is very important. I once read a book about the Japanese hero Tokugawa Ieyasu. I did not even finish half of it. By the time I was halfway through, I felt myself changing. How did I change? Conspiracies, secret meetings, and scheming started to look impressive to me. I thought, “Wow, books are this important.” That is why, after they read, you must do forum with the Word. Because these things remain with children for their whole life.

They must also know about great figures. As they study those people, they must find the answer in Christ. Every nation has its own culture. We must answer that with the three feasts. Then what comes next? Worship and prayer. From there, “only” comes out. That is like their “coming-of-age worship.” Then “uniqueness” comes—this is like their “commissioning” of mission. Then “re-creation” comes—this is like their “sending service.”

Those are the seven talents. These are the kinds of things we must help our Remnants to know during the three-day weekend age.

4. 9 flows
And there are surely nine flows. For us, there is past, present, and future. We also have left and right—those beside us. And we have height, depth, and width. So we must see these flows.

5. 20 points
Then the twenty evangelism strategies in the Bible come out.

When you put all these together, it adds up to 62 points. But in reality, the grace we have received from God is far more than ten thousand things. Today’s message (the main points) is a summary of the 62 points by which you can receive lifetime answers. These aspects are almost all invisible parts. Real answers always come first in the invisible realm.

When you are deeply impacted, that cannot be seen with the eyes. But when you become ill, that becomes visible. When we say we have faith, that is invisible. But that faith will surely show results—that becomes visible.

▣ Conclusion – Fulfillment
So the conclusion is that the visible answer is the fulfillment of God’s Word.

This is the content of the lesson you must hold onto this week. So when you counsel most young adults, there is one common thread in the conversation. What is that? They say that prayer does not really work for them. It is probably like that. In one sense, you can say it is characteristic of that age. But if they cannot hold onto this at that age, they will suffer quite a lot later.

Even adults say, “I need to have a definite answer of God’s covenant in prayer, but because I don’t have that, it is difficult.” Then, when you grow older or become weaker, things become hard. You must absolutely restore this.

So today’s first service is extremely important. We are confirming the things that we must absolutely build, and that we cannot leave unbuilt. When these answers in prayer are present in me, Sunday worship becomes extremely important. You cannot memorize or organize everything you hear into your head. Right? Of course you may have a notebook with memos, but in reality we cannot remember everything in our daily life.

So the message you hear today must be imprinted into your spiritual state throughout this entire Sunday as you pray. This is extremely important. Rockefeller, who achieved enormous success in business, is said to have held onto Sunday’s message and prayed over it all day long. Before worship, he would already be at church praying and confirming the Word, then he would listen to the sermon and hold onto it all day. That is someone who received tremendous spiritual wisdom and blessing. The work and influence he had were no small thing.

Once, I read a book that listed all the Rockefeller companies. It was as thick as the old telephone books we used to have, with very thin pages, and it was that thick just from company names. I realized, “Ah, this person truly was a person of prayer.” He founded more than twenty universities in America alone. He built about two thousand church buildings, even though now, because there is no gospel, many of those places have closed.

We need people of the gospel and prayer like that to arise. You must recover this. Inside that, you must gain strength, study, and do your business. Today’s Sunday must be an important day and a day of healing. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May today, as we pray throughout this day, become a day of healing. Let it be a day when the sick parts of our lives are healed, and even unknown diseases are healed. Let it be a day of answers when the kingdom of God comes upon every place connected to us. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

This week’s cell lesson is “True Success.” What is true success?

Faith Life, Work, Evangelism – What Comes from God
There are many things we could say, but it can be seen as our walk of faith and the work and the work we are doing, including our studies and our occupations. My evangelism must be something that comes from God. For something to come from God means that the spiritual principles, my life, and my work must be the same.

True Success () – The 25 Answers
From the Bible, we have found twenty strategies for this. It is not something we just made up; these twenty strategies are what God gave. We receive the 25 answers through this.

▣ Introduction

1. The Key to Evangelism – God’s Presence
So we must think briefly in the introduction. What is the key to evangelism? The key to evangelism is that God is present. God has come upon me, and it is the moment when this presence comes upon the other person.
(The indwelling, guidance, and filling of the Holy Spirit)
At that time, three things take place. The Holy Spirit of the Triune God indwells us, and from that moment He guides us, and from that moment He gives us fullness.

2. Uniqueness
When this takes place and we enjoy this secret, with “only” comes the answer of uniqueness to me. The Early Church received this answer of uniqueness.

3. Satan’s 12 Strategies
Only this answer can destroy the twelve strategies Satan has given.

Where is there a more important true success than this? So people say, “If you make a lot of money, you have succeeded,” and that can be true, but in reality it is not. Of course, if I gain great honor at my workplace, that can be seen as success. If I gain special health, that too can be considered a blessing and a success. But you must remember this clearly. The Bible does not say it like that. The Bible speaks like this: A person who has received God’s blessing must be healthy. If someone who has not received God’s blessing is healthy, it is better for them to be sick. Many people think that having a lot of wealth is a blessing and a success, but the Bible does not say that. God’s will is that the person who has received God’s blessing should have a lot of money. Isn’t that right? The one who has received God’s blessing lives long—that is the blessing. But if someone who has not received blessing lives long, that is difficult. That is why, when they imprison and execute murderers, it is because such a person kills many people and the longer they live, the more painful it becomes for them. So they are executed instead.

So today we must easily settle the conclusion. What is true blessing? It is this (introduction). This is true success. It means that God is present. So you receive a unique answer that the people of the world cannot know. You do not waver at all. You do not need to use expressions like, “How should I succeed?” The answer of uniqueness has already come.

2. Uniqueness (Only – Re-Creation)
This (uniqueness) comes from “only.” And it is the way toward re-creation. Who can block this? This (uniqueness) is the first blessing that all our church leaders must receive. This (uniqueness) is what our remnants must discover as they study. The evangelism that the pastors of our Darakbang are doing cannot be taken away by anyone. Uniqueness. Whatever it may be, if you proclaim the gospel, that is evangelism, and there are many methods of evangelism. However, it must be this (answer of uniqueness (only – re-creation)). Jesus gave this to us and left. That is when the forces of darkness are broken.

▣ Main Message – Witnesses
How did this blessing arise? We just need to go as they did.

1. 1·3·8 – Acts 1:14
They held onto the Mt Olive covenant of Christ, God’s kingdom, and only the Holy Spirit, and they did this (Acts 1:14). They were devoted, they held to “only.” Holding onto this (1·3·8) and doing “only” is described as, “They all joined together constantly in prayer.” This is something you should do at least once, is it not? If you have never done this even once, then in some sense you are a truly bad person. A person who goes to church and has never done this once is a bad person. To be honest, you should be doing this every day. The Early Church did this every day. What does that mean?

1) Mt Calvary – Christ’s “Only”
On Mt Calvary, the “only” of Christ had already been revealed. It is “only.” He won the victory on the cross, just as He promised.

2) Mt Olive – Christ’s Uniqueness
On Mt Olive, He showed the uniqueness of Christ. “Only” and “uniqueness” are the same word.

3) The Mark’s Upper Room – Re-Creation
Finally, in the Mark’s upper room, they experienced this. Experiencing this in the Mark’s upper room was, in fact, re-creation. That is everything. If you only believe this power, there is nothing to fear. In our first service, it says, “Do not fear tribulation.” That means there is tribulation, but you have nothing to fear. “Do not fear suffering.” That means there is suffering, but there is nothing to fear. Why? Because nothing can overcome this power (Main Message 1).

2. Acts 2:1 – The Answer of [Uniqueness]
From this point, the answer came: “When the day of Pentecost came.” The answer of true uniqueness came, in the Mark’s upper room.

1) Meetings – The Five Foundations
Because they received this unique answer, the five unique meetings came. These are the five foundations. The Darakbang meetings—no one can block them. Mission homes. When they meet, it becomes team ministry—no one can block it. It arises in the workplace—specialized ministry. And it arises hidden in the regions—regional churches.
Whether these (five foundations) are established or not depends on this (uniqueness). Knowing the uniqueness of Christ and having it are different. When you have it, things begin to happen. In my case, I did evangelism for thirty or forty years, and I tried to help people the most and value people the most. But I do not listen to what they say. The reason is that I do not hear it. Because I have this (uniqueness). Because I possess this, when I see things through it, much of what people say is unnecessary. So do not be shaken and truly receive answers.

2) Camps – The Five Trainings
Then surely the camps of uniqueness will arise. These are the trainings. “Training” is not a word we made up; it means “He called them to be with Him.” Jesus did not merely teach skills. It says, “He called them that they might be with Him.”

3) Systems – The Five Fields
From that point, the systems of uniqueness arise. What are these? The theological institute, the evangelism school, and such systems begin to appear. What appears first? The evangelism school. Because we must evangelize. Then we need to teach a bit more, right? So we have theological training institutes and such. And to teach bigger and higher things, we have missionary training centers. In this way, five systems arise completely in the five fields.

4) The Future – Remnants
And what else? It is the unique future. That is why the five futures came. Among them, the greatest word was “remnant.”

These are the twenty strategies. The one who has received this blessing is the successful person. So when we run a company, we struggle and advertise and do all these things. We must do that. But this (uniqueness) is something for which we do not need to do that. Is it possible? Can there be such a possibility? The three organizations have taken it all. That means it is possible. It is not that it is impossible because I cannot do it. The three organizations are doing it. They do not advertise anything, yet they take everything away. Now, through the remnants, we must take it back. How?

3. Result – The Guideposts
These are the guideposts that let us know the result. When they received answers in the Mark’s upper room, amazing guideposts came from 1·3·8.

1) Acts 13:1–4
This is a guidepost. It is evangelism and missions completely led by the Holy Spirit.
Acts 16:6–10
It is the guidepost that completely finds the turning point of life.
Acts 19:1–7 – Tyrannus – Rome
It is the guidepost that leads from Tyrannus to Rome. Is that not clear enough? And what happened?

2) Healing (Acts 13, 16, 19)
Tremendous things happened. Healing. No one can block it. When you go and proclaim the gospel, the sick will be healed. If they hear the Christ you proclaim and the Word, they will be healed. On the way along this guidepost, healing is something that cannot be left out.

3) The Synagogue – Rome
On the way along this guidepost, something came out that you must never miss—the synagogue. Right? From that synagogue, you go to Rome and raise workers for world evangelization.
It looks complicated, but it is not complicated at all. People who never look at God’s Word say, “Why are there so many terms?” But it is not a lot. If you hold onto the answer of Christ’s uniqueness, these things follow.

[Salvation]
This (the indwelling, guidance, and filling of the Holy Spirit) truly means that you are saved. A person who is truly saved needs nothing else. Examine yourself just once. On the way here, I spoke with Pastor Kim Chang-Hyeok about this. Ideological conflicts never end. If it is the true gospel, they disappear. If it is the true gospel, I do not need my own thoughts. Right? If God is with me, why do I need my thoughts? I have no power to move heaven and earth—why am I necessary? If it is the true gospel, you realize your sin and can escape it. Right? If it is the true gospel, you do not condemn the one who sinned. Right? You help them realize and return. Which is the true gospel? If it is the true gospel, it is finished. Salvation. And surely this (uniqueness) answer comes to your church and to you personally. Why is this complicated? These are not words I made up. This true gospel and uniqueness—Jesus explained them and left. “Only.” That is uniqueness. That is when the forces of darkness collapse.

Witnesses
“You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” We are witnesses.

▣ Conclusion
Let me conclude.

1. Evangelism
There is no greater blessing than your studies, your work, and your occupation being used for evangelism and missions. Is that not so?

2. Christ
There is nothing greater than if your studies, your work, and your occupation reveal Christ.

3. Remnants, Hebrews 11, the Early Church
In other words, the seven remnants, the people of Hebrews chapter 11, and the Early Church were all like this. Through Joseph, God was testified. There is no greater success for you than this. Through you, Christ is revealed. There is no greater success than this. So the things that no one had been able to do until then took place in the Early Church. That is why we say we must restore that covenant. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. In this week, let us find what we absolutely must find. Bless us so that we do not become people who hold onto what is wrong and suffer our whole lives. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7

---

If we mention one strength of the Jewish people, it is that they strictly keep the Sabbath starting from Friday night. They do not allow anything else at all. That means, of course, that they concentrate. And because of that, the Jews in fact have taken over the world. Putting aside the bad things and speaking only of the good, that is what it means.

The Three-Day Weekend Age
So you must open the three-day weekend age. On Friday, you need to have a schedule for prayer and for taking care of your health. As you grow older, you must hold onto proper prayer and take care of your health. And on Saturday, things need to proceed centered on our remnants. The remnants should give presentations, see things, hear things; you must help them do this. Today’s lecture is for doing this (the three-day weekend age). On Sunday, you must go completely centered on worship. If you begin spending your weekends like this, tremendous works will arise. And on Saturdays like this, we sometimes go out to have fun. You can come have fun at church. And your family gatherings—those can also be held at church on Saturday. In that way, I am saying that you should equip the church with a system. “Let’s have our family gathering at church.” You must reach that level. So Saturday must become a day for such gatherings and conversations.

The reason for doing this is that we must have true ability. We must equip true ability, and that is why this must be done. Especially when speaking of remnants, it is the seven talents. This must communicate with the throne. That is the twenty-five answers. By just looking at the words, you can understand.

▣ Introduction – [Genius]
So the Jews succeeded in seven particularly important things.

1. RT – [Talent] + [Expertise] + [Field-ness]
   So now, what you must understand a little is that for the remnants, the most important thing is discovering their talent. When they fail to discover this properly, they grow older and suffer. Some even graduate from university but do not know what they should do; if it becomes like this, it becomes difficult. As you know, what is called genius is something that comes down from heaven. Isn’t that so? But because they do not know prayer, they cannot properly discover this (talent). As you know, it is difficult to reach a certain level, so they say Seoul National University, Yonsei University, and Korea University are SKY. Last year, at those three universities, 2,000 students dropped out. It is hard to get in, and people think just getting in is a blessing, but they dropped out—that is not just a few hundred, but 2,000. That means, “There is no meaning in studying here.” They failed to see this (talent) properly. So you must absolutely open the three-day weekend age, teach remnants prayer, and help them find their talent. When you teach this talent, what follows from it is expertise. And then you help them understand the field properly. That is why Jews have synagogues. So it is a situation in which the Jews cannot help but conquer the world. Even among the three organizations, the core members who move things are Jews.
2. Church Leaders (Work) – Only, Uniqueness, Re-Creation
   Now, the church leaders in the three-day weekend age—what is most in front of you is your work. Or your workplace, the place close to you. You must pray and make it into this (only, uniqueness, re-creation). This is possible only through prayer. Doing something others cannot do does not happen by itself. You must absolutely do this.
3. New Family – Past (Platform), Today (Camp), Future (New Masterpiece)
   At this time, it becomes a chance. This is when you bring new family. New family members must be given three things. You cannot leave their past alone. You must make their past become a platform inside the gospel. This is what new family members need most. You have lived the life of faith for a long time, but new family members have just come for the first time, so they have many things with them. They have many scars, too. So their “today” is the camp of enjoying the blessing of the throne. Because without this light, it cannot work. And you must allow these new family members to make a completely new masterpiece of their life. That is the future. You must do this during the three-day weekend age.

▣ Main Message

1. Talent
   Now, let us take a look at the parts where talents were discovered.

1)Reading – The Word
The Jews take responsibility to read three books: the Shema, the Torah, and the Talmud. Every Jew must read these books. They may not read the Bible, but they must read those. Many things come from there. For us, even if we do not go that far, there are books that are necessary for remnants to read. But realistically, there is no time. So if three people gather and divide up one book each and do a forum, they will have gone through three books. That develops the remnants’ presentation skills and helps in various ways. And from here, the Word must be found. That is when it becomes imprinted. “Ah, the world is like this, but the Word says this.” The answer must come.

2)Figures – Christ (RT)
The Jews speak about at least one great person every day. They must study figures. But as we do this, we must find the words “Christ” and “remnant.” Strictly speaking, you are the remnants. The remaining ones. So remnants are not only children. The remaining ones who have the gospel—remnants.

3)The Three Feasts – 1·3·8
And the Jews kept the three feasts very well. They kept them so well that during the feasts, the family always did them together. For example, when making the Feast of Booths, the family builds the booth together. But in doing this, their weakness was that they lost the meaning. We also lose important things when we work a lot. So we must help them find the meaning. That is 1·3·8—Christ, God’s kingdom, only the Holy Spirit. These are the three feasts. Because Christ completed them, you must give this answer clearly. Remnants only need to understand once for it to last a lifetime.

4)Worship – Prayer
Why did the Jews stake their lives on keeping the Sabbath like that? Worship and prayer. Our remnants, and also you yourselves, must know what worship is and what prayer is.

5) Only – Talent
From this point, three things come out. From here, the “only” that you possess appears. You must have this (only) to help others. The outward form may differ, but the content is the same. This is discovering your talent. You must discover “only” to have a talent; just having what everyone else has is not a talent.

6) Uniqueness – Expertise
From here, uniqueness comes. This is expertise.

7) Re-Creation – Field-ness
Then you survive anywhere you go. Re-creation. This is called field-ness.

In one sense, this (only – talent) is called the coming-of-age ceremony. This (uniqueness – commissioning) is called the mission ceremony. And because they have seen the field, this (re-creation – field-ness) is called the sending-out ceremony. You must do these three things. You yourselves must do this. It is not that you do not need it but remnants do. Because remnants absolutely need it, you also must receive this blessing. Even if you sell bean sprouts in the market, you must have this answer. Isn’t that so? But most people do not do this. Even if you sell bean sprouts, you must do it with “only.” Then customers know. “Ah, that place is different.” They know. Even if you run a restaurant, customers know. The one who eats the food says, “Ah, this place is different.” If that becomes established, it works.

2. Spiritual Summit
   Now, when this happens, the Jews became summits without the gospel, and they suffered like that. You must make this (spiritual summit) first. Before succeeding as a summit, you must first succeed spiritually. So what is in the front part of the curriculum is an edited form of my messages. The characteristic of my messages is that the answers continue to develop. For example, before entering Yeongdo, when I was doing evangelism, I found the five states of the unbeliever. So the books left it exactly as recorded. But after entering Yeongdo and doing evangelism in earnest, I discovered the six states.

1)The Seven Bartizans
So now we can teach it like this: the bartizan Jesus gave—the seven bartizans.

2)The Seven Journeys
With this, you go on the journey.

3)The Three Guideposts
And the guideposts in Acts chapter 13, chapter 16, and chapter 19 are always there. They are exactly God’s Word. You must know this to become a summit.

So what is written on the board today is what you must absolutely teach your children. Schools cannot teach this, so the church must. It is not that schools lack ability or are bad; they simply cannot teach this. If the church does not teach this, our remnants can never learn it. That is how important this is.

3. Discovery
   And now, you begin discovering what is important.

1)Me
You discover something completely different from before. What is it? You discover the “me” that God created. Before, you simply tried to find yourself. That is the same as unbelievers. When you simply try to find yourself, nothing is more wrong. Why do people commit suicide? Because they have found themselves. They found themselves and realized there is no hope. So they commit suicide. But when you find the “me” God created, the opposite happens. That is why the word “remnant” is an interesting word. In English, it has two meanings: the remaining one, and the discarded one. It is used both ways. Isn’t that interesting? You may look like someone who is thrown away, but you are the remaining one. So the discovery becomes completely different.

2)My Things

3)My Field
And before, you said, “This is mine,” but now you see “my things” that God has given and “my field” that God has given.

This (entire message) is the curriculum you must do this week, but you must hold it for your entire life. If you pray even a little and use your head even a little, you can apply this endlessly. And because remnants receive answers, they carry evidence and can do things even more greatly.

▣ Conclusion

So what conclusion comes out?

1. Multiethnic (Room)
   What you must especially not lose hold of is multiethnic ministry. Doing multiethnic ministry in a vague way, no matter how much you do, is useless. When you build the sanctuary later, there must be a place where a multiethnic person can leave their bag, and leave their shoes. That must be “their house.” It is completely different from carrying your luggage around and sleeping in a hotel versus sleeping at home. And right now, this (multiethnic) part is not happening. For example, if you go to the United States, churches say they are doing world evangelization, but when you look at Korean churches in America, there are no Americans. No multiethnic people at all. If they were doing things normally, then 90 percent of the elders would be multiethnic. Isn’t that correct? Numerically it is so. If it were not America but Korea, that would be fine—but it is America. Why is that? Multiethnic people have no place where they can come and enjoy. In English, that is “room.” Room means a room, but it also means “space” or “margin.” It means the space where I stay. And that (room) does not exist. You must remember this. This is not simply about having a building. When foreigners go to a gathering, there are American husbands married to Korean women. They follow their wives to church. But the way they sit and act looks so awkward. Because they are just following their wives. How long will they endure that? But if among the elders or session members, there is an American, then they join quickly. And among the pastors as well, there must be such people.

Open your eyes a little in Ulsan, and if you build a system to save Ulsan, it will come alive.

TCK
Among the multiethnic, especially TCK. You must pay attention here. This is also the answer. As you know, TCK means a child in a third-culture environment. For example, what does that mean? Joseph and all seven remnants were like that. They were Hebrews, but where were they living? In Egypt. That is what it means. So in some ways, it does not match Egypt and is difficult. That is the key. You must remember this.

2. Healing (Enjoyment)
   Next, people must come comfortably and receive healing. You must be able to receive this strength. Open the three-day weekend age, and the healing part is something anyone can really do. If healing were one word, then for multiethnic ministry, the word “room” is very important. For healing, you must allow the person to come and enjoy on their own. Does someone get healed instantly because someone comes to them? Of course not. When someone with cancer comes, I give them an answer. Someone had cancer and did certain things, but then treatment must follow. It was too difficult, so they did not want to do it. But the family wanted them to do it because they were worried. So the family came to me and asked. “Let’s do as the pastor says,” they said. So I gave them one month. “Pray like this, breathe like this. Then go to the hospital and get checked. If it has improved, then maybe you don’t need to do the treatment. But if it has not improved, then you must accept what the doctors say.” And that person understood. So they began praying. They began healing themselves. Tremendous effects followed. That is what it means. When the sick come, they must gain strength, receive the Word, and gain the strength of prayer. That is the key.
3. RT (Summit)
   And now, as I said before—it is repetitive but true—the remnants must be able to find themselves, but the most important thing is that remnants must be made into summits. People all over the nation and world are listening to this message. This (entire message) part is extremely important. Prepare in Ulsan. Then, when God sees it, it will become the greatest church. Isn’t that so? It must be the greatest in God’s sight. If it is great in human sight, it can collapse at any time. Isn’t that true? The invisible Creator God, the God who rules all things and life—when He sees Immanuel Ulsan Church as the greatest church, that is what matters.

Today was important, so the time went a bit long. Hold onto this covenant and continue deep prayer. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. We thank You for establishing this church to save the region. Now, may we save this region with God’s method that surpasses human methods and human abilities. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:6-7

---

Philippians 4:6–7
In Philippians chapter 4, verses 6 and 7, it does not simply say, “Do not worry,” but, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Even though there are things to worry about, He says, “Do not be anxious about anything.” “But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” It does not say to just pray; it says that even though you have worries, present them with thanksgiving. Then what kind of answer comes? “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

This is true happiness. “The peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds.” The part we must pay a bit of attention to here is that we tend to use “receiving answers” as our standard. Of course, because God’s main work is to give answers, it is not wrong that we feel that way. But if you think about the situation at that time and look at the Philippian church, this is not a light statement. This is a letter Paul sent to the Philippian church from prison. It was an incredible timetable. Being in prison was not the problem; for Paul, this was the greatest timetable of world evangelization. That is what is important. “Do not be anxious about anything.” And then, “The peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” The 25 answers begin to take place, don’t they?

▣ Introduction – The happiness of prayer that enjoys the gospel
Here, the most important part for you is prayer that enjoys the gospel. It is not just prayer in general. You must be happy with prayer that enjoys the gospel. What makes a person happy actually determines that person. People of other religions all pray. So not that kind of prayer, but prayer that enjoys the gospel. There are even strange people who pray in order to enjoy their own peculiar personality. That is not necessarily evil, but we must pray to enjoy the gospel. When this takes place, something truly amazing begins to happen. What do we mean? After Jesus resolved every problem on Mt Calvary, He gathered the disciples on Mt Olive and gave them an important word. He gave them an amazing mission by which they could carry out world evangelization.

[7 bartizans]
From there, I discovered the 7 bartizans. They are always inside my prayer. In them, the content of the Triune God is all contained. Because there, for 40 days, He explained about the things concerning the kingdom of God, the blessing of the throne is all there. Right? There, the past, present, and future are all included. It is tremendous. There, what true power is, is revealed. There is also not just anything, but the mystery that breaks the authority of darkness. Inside that, an amazing future is contained, isn’t it?

[7 journeys]
And within that, because it is a bartizan, the journeys come out. How important this part is. You must be so happy to enjoy these 7 bartizans and 7 journeys. If this does not exist, there is no need to even ask: your walk of faith will be difficult, pastoral ministry will be difficult, everything will be difficult.

[13, 16, 19]
There was someone who properly understood these words, and that person was Paul. You must never lose hold of this. In Acts 13, he set out as the first missionary. Right? In chapter 13, verses 1–4, we see the timetable when he perfectly received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is important. Of course, we can hold tracts in our hands and evangelize on the street. That in itself is not the standard. We can evangelize as we walk along the road. That is not the standard. It is something we can do. But Paul’s team perfectly received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is the first guidepost. In chapter 16, they went to Macedonia. They thought the doors were closed, but it was “to Macedonia.” In chapter 19, it was “to Rome.” Clear guideposts appeared.

So you must always remember these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts. Because they are the words Jesus Himself gave. In the first service as well, we will look at today’s passage on the premise of these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts. If you do not take the gospel as the premise or do not take Christ as the premise, then it is no different from other religions. These 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts must become the blessing of your personal prayer enjoyment. In a sense, this should become your family motto. In another sense, it should become the mission statement of your company. The people of the early church who conquered the world did so.

[40 days]
I have explained these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 3 guideposts as I enjoy them in prayer, but in reality, these are the very things Jesus Himself spoke for 40 days. While the earlier Scriptures are also important, these are the messages Jesus gave last, after everything had been fulfilled. This is the prayer by which you must be happy; if you gain strength through this prayer, everything else follows.

▣ Main
Then, when you enjoy this kind of prayer, about five things will appear today. What will appear?

1. Thanksgiving
From that point on, thanksgiving begins to come. It has no choice but to come—because you know. You cannot truly give thanks when you do not know. That is why Paul said, “Present your requests with thanksgiving.” You have worries, but present them with thanksgiving—this is on another level. When Daniel knelt and prayed three times a day, he did not just pray; the Bible says he prayed giving thanks.

1) Scars
At this time, your scars are healed. Almost everyone carries scars, don’t they? When genuine thanksgiving comes out, those scars are healed.

2) Healing
Then many healings take place. Thanksgiving is when the greatest healing happens—when you give thanks from your heart. One characteristic of those who begin to have mental problems is that they do not have thanksgiving. They have no thanksgiving. And they constantly fall into disbelief about everything. It becomes like that. “Everyone else is wrong; only I am right.” That is when it becomes a serious problem. “Everyone else is wrong. Everything is wrong.” It becomes this way. When true healing takes place, all that aside, thanksgiving comes.

3) Darkness broken
At that time, not only does health come, but the forces of darkness are completely broken. Satan completely knelt down in front of Job.

2. The Word
And when you truly enjoy this prayer of the introduction, from that point on something begins to come alive. It was always alive, but it had nothing to do with you; now, the second point, the Word, begins to become connected to you. The Word comes alive.

1) The world
Before, all our imprinting was by the things of this world. So God’s Word and I did not match at all. Not one part matched. We did not even know what the Word meant. It did not become believable. In the past, before I understood the gospel and before I knew prayer, the book of Acts was the hardest book for me to read. What is all this talk about houses and roads? But once I understood evangelism movement and the Word, it became a complete answer. So I simply evangelized according to what appears in the book of Acts. Then, the evangelists who understood those words could not help but rise all over the world. I did not do it; God could not help but raise them.

2) Pulpit
This Word is something you must definitely receive from the pulpit. All believers have a pulpit, don’t they? For the believers, listening to the pastor’s sermon is not just listening to the pastor; it is listening to the Word of God. For the pastors who prepare sermons, they themselves must not merely think, “I prepared a sermon,” but they must listen for the Word of God.

3) Flow
Then, because this Word is living and active, the flow definitely becomes visible.

3. Concentration
When this happens, it does not simply end there. A concentration toward God arises. This is prayer. Because you know and enjoy the blessings of the introduction, thanksgiving comes; the Word comes alive and works; and then concentration toward God begins to arise. The power of this is tremendous. You must remember this.

1) Division, obsession, addiction
If you do not understand the word “concentration” correctly, its opposite is division. Your thoughts, heart, and mind are divided. Or a wrong kind of concentration becomes obsession. The word “concentration” is very important. If not, it becomes division, or obsession, or addiction. In fact, among our future generations, there will be many patients with these three problems—division, obsession, and addiction. Concentration is a very important word.

2) Summit
Because concentration toward God revives our soul and revives our brain, it inevitably leads us into the blessing of the spiritual summit. You must remember this. Our future generations must become spiritual summits before they become summits in the world. If they do not know spiritual summit and do not know what prayer is, then from the moment they pass the bar exam, they begin to wander. It becomes difficult. They must first become spiritual summits. From the moment they become doctors, they begin to suffer countless hardships. They must first become spiritual summits. From the moment they become public servants, it becomes difficult from that point on. Where do they concentrate? This prayer holds a tremendous mystery.

3) Platform, watchman bartizan, antenna
At this time, God’s important work of art begins to appear. Simply put, you become a platform. Right? You must become a spiritual platform so that people can come. The church must do evangelism diligently, but the greatest evangelism is this: if you become a platform, people will come. Right? Likewise, if your business, your shop, becomes a platform, even without much advertising, people come. In Japan, I saw a restaurant that had been operating for 500 years. It was astonishing. The owner was wearing a name tag: “16th Owner, So-and-So.” It was amazing. It was just a restaurant, but people had no choice but to come. I am most worried about this: I don’t know if it’s still like this, but in Songdo, when you drive by, they wave at you so vigorously that you almost bump into them with your car, trying to get you to come in. Do we really have to do that? Korea is almost all like that, because they are so diligent. If you become a platform, a watchman bartizan that can save many people is set up there. If you have the power of concentration toward God, you become a spiritual antenna.

4. Healing

1) Myself
2) The church
3) The world

From this point on, the healing of your heart and of yourself takes place, and then healing in the church and in the world takes place. So everything is included. Within the true happiness of prayer that enjoys the gospel, tremendous content is contained.

5. Future
Even if you simply remain still, the future becomes visible within this prayer. This blessing will surely be upon you.

1) Communication
Before, the Word of God did not match with me at all, but now the Word of God begins to communicate with me. I begin to be led by the Word. Before, I lived entirely centered on myself. Before, I only knew myself and my things.

2) Myself, my things, my field
But one day, it changes to “me, whom God created.” It changes like this. Then it changes to “the things God has given me,” and “the field to which God has sent me.” It changes like this.

3) Position of the summit
So while you are just staying where you are, you will find yourself seated in the position of the summit. When Joseph stood in the position of the summit, even the king had to follow. This is the important future.

Do not think that I am just talking about something. Right? You must actually become people who receive these answers before God. Isn’t that true? You must check how you are praying right now. You must check whether prayer is truly a source of happiness and strength for you. If you simply ask, God is bound to give you answers. You must do this. Most of the time, even when we just listen to people talk, we can tell. We can sense, “Ah, this person prays a lot,” right? When we talk with someone, we can sense, “Ah, this person absolutely does not pray.” Of course, not everything is done by feeling, but people decide many things based on feeling. Aren’t you like that too? Even if a person is very great, if you sense, “Ah, this person absolutely does not pray,” you cannot really believe what that person says. If you sense, “Ah, this person truly prays,” then it is different. Those who truly do not know prayer continually receive a different kind of guidance. How heartbreaking that is. You must absolutely restore the blessing Christ has given you.

No obsession over position
If you truly restore and enjoy this, you do not even need to worry about your position.

No issue of pride
And if you truly enjoy this blessing, even if someone looks down on you, it has nothing to do with your pride. The very fact that you feel, “I must defend my pride,” shows that you are weak right now. Right? If you say to a homeless person, “You bum,” he gets very offended. Why? Because he knows he is a beggar. Right? He gets angry: “Yes, I’m a beggar—are you going to feed me, then?” and snaps back. But if you say, “You beggar,” to a chaebol (wealthy magnate), he will just laugh. Because he is not a beggar. Already, the fact that you are so sensitive about your pride shows that you have lost hold of something. You become bound here, in your pride. Someone like Joseph was the same either way. He was the same when he was the prime minister and the same when he went as a slave. What was the same? His enjoyment of God’s blessing was the same. This is very important.

As you worship today, this must truly be a day of receiving grace. Start again. If you say, “I am having such a hard time right now,” that is a simple sign. It means, “Start again accurately.” What will He give first? This strength of the introduction. This is not my word; it is what Christ Himself explained for 40 days. Would Christ, who resolved every problem on the cross, have spoken nonsense and then left? Even when people speak, if they speak earnestly, we listen carefully. Right? Even if a person is somewhat lacking, if they keep speaking earnestly, we end up listening. The King of kings, Christ, explained this intensively for 40 days. For us to ignore this so much is wrong. Right? Answers themselves are not the problem. With this blessing, you must carry your work, your personal life, and world evangelization.

▣ Conclusion – Revelation 8:3–5
In Revelation 8:3–5, all your prayers are said to rise up before God. They do not just rise up; the Bible says they are all contained in a bowl. John saw this in a vision and realized, “Ah, so that is how it is.” And he was shown how the angels of the Lord carry out all of God’s errands. Even today, if there is a greatest answer for you, it is that you are praying. Right? If you are to enjoy the greatest plan of this Lord’s Day, it is that you restore proper prayer before God. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be such a day of God.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, let us restore the covenant that Christ has given us. Let us begin with that covenant. Let us build a firm bartizan of God. Let us go on our journey by the power of God. Let the guideposts of God be fulfilled in our lives. In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

2023.10.08 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1, 3, 8

---

There are 21 answers that we need the most.
Prayer → the true source – spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light, disciples

When you receive this answer of the true source, the very first thing you gain is spiritual strength. This part is not something visible to the eye, but it is the most important. It is also hard to explain to others. Yet the most important strength is spiritual strength. It is hard to explain this strength. It is hard for me to explain it even for myself, so it is difficult to explain it to someone else. But if you have this spiritual strength, you can do many things. From that time on, God begins to give you much wisdom and knowledge from above. In the case of Joseph, he knew what no one in the world knew and he gave them the answer. If you truly pray, this kind of strength arises. From then on, you also gain physical strength that becomes a great strength both spiritually and physically. So if you only know this one thing called prayer, you receive these: spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light. From then on, the economy of light begins to arise in you. The economy of light is different from ordinary economy; it is something God has prepared to give only to those who believe. From that time on, the disciples whom God has prepared in various places begin to arise. How can this happen?

▣ Introduction

Today we must understand a little of the method.

1. Mt Calvary (John 19:30)
Before we understand the method, there are three very important things. On Mt Calvary, Christ said on the cross, “It is finished.” He said that everything was finished. What did He finish? He finished many things, but we mainly speak of three.
Hell X, disasters X, Satan X
We could neither go to nor enjoy the kingdom of God, but He completely broke the authority of hell. On this earth, disasters keep arising; He ended them. Satan, unseen, kept driving people into destruction; He ended this. The One who finished these three we call “the Christ.”
Prophet, priest, king
He came as the true King who defeated Satan. He came as the true Priest who put an end to disasters. He came as the true Prophet who opened the way to meet God and announced the way of salvation.
Christ (anointing oil)
These three terms combined are called “the Christ.” The word “Christ” means “the Anointed One.” Oil was poured only on the king, the priest, and the prophet. So He fulfilled all three. Because all of this is contained in Him, it is “finished.”

2. Mt Olive
Then the second great mystery He gave was Mt Olive. Many things were spoken there, but He especially spoke of this:
Throne, kingdom – work
He spoke of the throne and the work of the kingdom of God. This becomes an amazing standard. When we ask, “What prayer topics should I hold? What kind of things are answers?” the things of the throne, the kingdom, and its work are what take place as answers.

3. Mark’s upper room
Holding this covenant, they gathered in Mark’s upper room. What was given there?
Strength
Many things were given, but He gave the strength of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. These three are extremely important.

▣ Main

Then how can I actually receive this answer?

1. Daily concentration
What must I concentrate on every day in order to receive this answer?
[ 1·3·8 ]
So, every day you concentrate on Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit. When you do this, the answer of the true source—spiritual strength, intellectual strength, physical strength, the economy of light, disciples—arises. Even on the Lord’s Day, if you truly gain strength in deep prayer, these works take place.

2. Daily confirmation
Next, there is something you must confirm every day. What do you confirm daily through prayer?
[ Heavenly mandate · calling · mission ]
When they came down from Mt Olive and gathered, they constantly confirmed their heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. Do not go somewhere trying to “do something”; instead, discover this heavenly mandate, calling, and mission. Wherever you go, you must surely find what God is truly commanding you to do. Whether you find it or not, that prayer itself becomes the greatest prayer.

3. Daily enjoyment
As you do this, something you enjoy daily in prayer begins to come. What is it?
[ Rightfulness · inevitability · absoluteness ]
Rightfulness, inevitability, absoluteness. Even when something happens, do not be discouraged; what was bound to come has come. Rightfulness, inevitability, absoluteness. And if you live this way, no one will criticize you. It is what you naturally must do. Then you ask, “What is the one thing I absolutely must do? What is God’s absolute plan?” Even with just this, many answers will arise.

Before I came to this church—not my home church, but before coming here—I served in five churches in between as a staff pastor. The very first thing I did wherever I went was this: in almost every church, the membership roll was not properly organized. So whenever I arrived, I would naturally start by organizing the membership roll—because I was new. While doing that, there were always people who had been there before me. I would ask them, and there were pastors who had been there longer, so I would ask them, “Is this information correct?” If you ask about ten entries, quite a few of them are, “Ah, that needs to be corrected.” There are many. Just by doing that, I began to see who I needed to visit. “Ah, I need to call this person.” That starts to become clear. From then on, the doors of evangelism began to open. From that time, I began to see what was needed and also saw God’s absolute plan.

4. Daily witnessing
Then you become a witness who sees important things every day. What is it?
[ One heart · whole heart · continuation ]
You begin to hold onto one method only; there is nothing else. One heart, whole heart, continuation. Why? Because you have discovered something absolute. No other method is needed. One heart, whole heart, continuation. If you do this, answers are bound to come wherever you are.

5. Daily discovery
Then you begin to discover three things every day. What are they?
[ Only · uniqueness · re-creation ]
“Only” becomes visible. This is how answers come. Uniqueness and re-creation become visible. If you continue in this prayer alone, these follow.

6. Daily answers
Then what follows? Real answers come.
[ 24 · 25 · eternity (00) ]
You begin to see answers every day, and they become 24, 25, and eternity. The greatest answer to prayer is that you are able to pray 24 hours. Then in you, healing and everything else will take place. From then on, something very important begins to come out.

7. Daily thanksgiving
Your destiny begins to be changed.
[ Imprint · root · nature ]
Imprint. The reason some things are not working for me is because the wrong things have been imprinted. This begins to change. The reason my body is not well is because something unhealthy has entered into my body. Especially when what is imprinted in your brain begins to change, many works arise. What has been imprinted takes root, and what has taken root becomes your nature.
These are exactly the 21.

▣ Conclusion

What is even more important is the conclusion that comes from this.
[ 3, 6, 11 ]
Those who have not received salvation are under the temptation of Satan and remain in Genesis 3, 6, and 11. If you keep living like this (the main content), what happens?
[ 1, 3, 8 ]
This is why we continually hold to Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit (the introduction). When the three-day weekend age opens, we will probably have to start from this main content first. Then in your studies, work, and occupation, works will surely arise. And your health is surely set to be restored.
(5 strengths)
All of these together are called the five strengths. These arise.

So even today, on the Lord’s Day, if you simply pray properly and hold to the Word properly during worship, you will see answers during the six days of the week. You must surely, while worshiping today, find the answers you can enjoy over the next six days. When you gain spiritual strength, things that people in the world do not know—tremendous power—begins to arise. That is why so many people find living in the world so difficult. They have no strength. It is too hard to earn money, too hard to work, too hard even to live. But when you gain this strength, all of that begins to change.

I bless you in the name of Jesus that through the prayer of even one of you today, many evidences will be relayed to others and that you will enjoy this blessing all day long. On the Lord’s Day, you must hold to the Word and, in your empty times, truly enter into much prayer. May the five strengths be restored. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let today be the day when the five strengths are restored. Let us gain spiritual strength and enjoy today the strength that saves the world, which the world does not know. Let there be works of healing today, even for the diseases we do not know about, in the midst of worshiping all day. Let there be spiritual works today that transcend time and space during this worship. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Philippians 1:9-11

Sunday must be the day when you concentrate and receive the greatest strength.

〔Me〕 〔Church〕 〔Field〕 〔World〕 〔Age〕
First, you must cultivate the strength that saves yourself. As you grow older and as your work increases, you need strength. So today must become the time when you yourselves receive the greatest strength. Then you gain the strength that saves the church. If you go out with this, because you now have strength, you will save the field as well. It will naturally become so. When you go out and save others, you gain the strength for world evangelization. Now, if this continues to be connected, you gain the strength that saves the age. This is the message given at this Remnant Conference. You must take this strength with you. Then, when we go to the field, there are many things there. But you will end up winning without fighting. If you have no strength, you lose even when you fight, but if you have strength, you win even without fighting. Joseph was the representative example in reality. As you know, Joseph was in difficulties where no one could help him. And he was not in a situation where he could fight. But Joseph had this strength. That is why he won. 「The 9 Flows and the Eternal Answer」 So today, regarding how we win, you must look carefully at the 9 flows and the eternal answer.

▣ Introduction_ 〔Thought〕

1. Genesis 3 – 〔Me〕
   Without realizing it, if you continue with worries and the world, you fall into Genesis chapter 3. If you think without praying, you fall into Genesis chapter 3 without knowing it.
2. Genesis 6 – Nephilim
   If you fall into Genesis chapter 3, you naturally fall into this (Genesis 6). Many people, without knowing, visit fortune tellers or perform shamanistic rituals. Without being aware, they fall into the Nephilim. Without realizing it, they come under the influence of evil spirits.
3. Genesis 11 – Tower of Babel
   This is why people collapse like the Tower of Babel in Genesis chapter 11 today. In Genesis chapter 3, because the issue of “me” is touched, everything shakes. While you pray today, you must go to the level where you no longer need to worry about “me.” Why is that?
4. Genesis 3 – 〔Me〕 – With (Triune God)
   Because God is with us. Clearly, although invisible, the Triune God works spiritually by the Holy Spirit, so we enjoy something important. This is why the Bible says, “God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.” What is invisible is extremely important. If it becomes like this (Genesis 3, 6, 11), it collapses. Unbelievers—since they have not received salvation—must at least think. Right? That is why thought is most important. We say, “Why do you have no thought?” But for saved people, you must realize something else. If answers truly keep coming, you have no time to worry. Right? If sure evidence of God comes into your work, you have no reason to struggle. That’s something you do before the answer comes; but once it comes, why struggle? There is nothing but thanksgiving. You must absolutely have this strength.

▣ Main 
Now, then how do we win?

1. Width, Height, Depth
We look at this distinctly. We see the width, height, and depth of God.

1) Transcending time and space
How wide is God? We cannot, but because God is spirit, He transcends time and space. If you do not know this, then worship becomes meaningless. At the time we worship today, spiritually, works that transcend time and space occur. Conversely, if you receive wounds in this direction, you become like this (Genesis 3, 6, 11). If you gain great strength, you become like this (width, height, depth), but if you lose strength, you become like this (Genesis 3, 6, 11). As you grow older, you must be careful. If you lose strength as you age, you will become like this (Genesis 3, 6, 11). But if you receive strength, you enjoy the blessing of God who transcends time and space.

2) What is supremely good
What is the height? God possesses what is supremely good. It surpasses human common sense. This is the width (transcending time and space) and the height (what is supremely good).

3) Absolute timetable
What is the depth? God absolutely has a timetable for us. This is why He tells us to pray. Today, especially on Sundays, do not worry about anything; enter into concentrated prayer. You must do this. Why? So you can discover this (Main 1). This answer is bound to come to you. Otherwise, you become the same as unbelievers. After being saved, you still follow your own thoughts, your own worries, your own standpoint—because the answer does not come. Without realizing it, you become like this (Genesis 3, 6, 11). It is frightening. This has continued from the past to now. What uses this (Genesis 3, 6, 11) is idolatry and religion. So no matter how weak you feel, do not be discouraged. No matter how sick you are, do not be discouraged. Begin this prayer (Main 1).

2. Above, Beside, Below
Now, then, there are also relationships with people. There are those above, beside, and below. Because we are people, we must keep this in mind.

1) Blessing
God blesses us from above, so we must view those above us with that perspective.

2) Answer
There are many beside us. These people are related to answers.

3) Future
Those below us—what are they? They are related to the future. Right? People only look at others’ faults, but there are important things: through the one above, God’s blessing is delivered; through the one beside, answers are confirmed; and through the one below, we see the future.

3. Life
What is even more important? There is a flow in our life.

1) Past – Platform
What must we do with the past? We must completely make it a platform. If a remnant says, “My family background is too bad, it’s difficult,” if they do not completely make it a platform, they will become the same. If your mother had spiritual sensations and you take it lightly, later you may become the same. (Wounds) Especially wounds—each person is slightly different, but wounds prevent spiritual growth. If you received a wound at age seven, when a spiritual problem comes, you return to age seven spiritually. That is what happens. That is why when a spiritual problem arises, a normal person suddenly becomes like a child. You must thoroughly discover blessing here. It is real. Otherwise, as you age, strangely, you return to the past. I did not receive wounds in childhood, but if you see certain things, it can become a wound: “Why must we be so poor, sick, powerless, and live like this?” I held firmly to the covenant with that. I decided to become a witness. Today, you must make that decision. Make the past completely into a platform of blessing.

2) Today (Future)
What is today? The future is inside today. If you receive grace during today’s worship, that becomes your future. If you are discouraged and shaken today, that becomes your future. This is why Sunday is extremely important. And biblically, it makes sense—“do nothing on the Sabbath”—meaning, experience this.

3) Future (Throne) – Eternity
What is our future? Through the blessing of the throne God gives, we see eternity. Once you receive this answer, things change. You will change your family, and you will change your field. It is certain.

▣ Conclusion

1. The Word
Then today you must confirm God’s Word. Unless you write down everything you heard in the sermon, you cannot remember. Even if you remember, you cannot memorize everything. Then what must you do? You must imprint today’s Word of God. It is okay even if you forget—it is different once it is imprinted. You must imprint, “What was confirmed today in God’s Word?” You must imprint what important message God has given today. Last week during the second service the message was “The one who sows to the Spirit.” This must be imprinted. You cannot memorize everything. Even when people worship every week, children cannot memorize everything. Yet during worship and during the Word, something gets imprinted. This is important.

2. Answer (Question)
Then throughout the six days, you come to have an answer to enjoy or a question to hold. I found myself asking: Why is the world church closing its doors? Why are the next generations collapsing and facing mental difficulties? As I asked those questions, answers came. You will have such things today.

3. Fulfillment
Then from this point on, you go to gatherings or to the field. Because I hold the answer, when I go to the field, I see fulfillment. This is when you gain strength.

4. Conclusion
Then after finishing one week and going to the core meeting where we gather worldwide, a conclusion comes. This is normal. There are remnants overseas who, despite being busy, listen to both the core message and the pulpit message. These people amazingly always win. And when they come to Sunday worship, they receive something different.

5. Evidence (Thanksgiving)
They hold to this evidence and give thanks. It is simple. Everything is included inside prayer. What prayer? The prayer in which you receive strength today. If you do not receive strength, no one can help you. You must receive the strength God gives today. There is no need to think about the past. The Bible says, “Believe that you have received what you asked for.” Long ago, I did not understand that. “How do I believe I received something I did not receive?” I did not understand it. “Believe that you have received what you asked for?” I do not know whether I will receive it or not. But then my eyes opened to God’s Word. Joseph believed and went forward, and not one answer failed to come. Right? When Moses did not believe and wandered, not one answer came, but when he believed and went forward, everything was answered. “Ah, that is what it means.” When speaking to Joshua about the land of Canaan, God did not say, “I will give it,” but “I have given it.” Today you must receive this grace. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day when you receive answers that break down all disasters, all curses, and all diseases around you. Let us pray.

Prayer. Grant that Your power may come upon the families throughout the nation and world and upon the people of the Lord worshiping here today. Bless so that all past things become a platform. May today become the future, and may this be the beginning of the eternal blessing of the throne that comes into the future. Let the sick be healed during today’s worship, and let the kingdom of God come upon our field during today’s worship. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

2023.10.01 District Message
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:1-4, Romans 16:1-27

---

Acts 18:1–4 (lifelong)
This is the field of the meeting between the couple Priscilla and Aquila and Paul. We tend to think only according to what we see. But God leads you with the answer for your entire life already prepared.

Romans 16:1–27 (eternal)
In Romans 16:1–27, we may simply “do ministry,” but God views you and your ministry as connected to what is eternal.

Therefore, our past, present, and future are very important. This communication and the 25 answers have been given to you.

▣ Introduction: [God’s preconception]
We all have preconceptions. Because we have them, we judge and choose with them.
[先入見] Preconception means something that has “entered beforehand.” That becomes a problem.
[Before in View of God] If writing for non-Koreans: “before” means something already out in front; it has now entered us and becomes our view—our “me.” In a sense this is everything. Even when you hear today’s sermon or pray, you view it by the standard of what has already entered you. Sometimes this (preconception) becomes the problem—you cannot see beyond it.
So we must have God’s preconception. This is crucial. God desires to bless you. Look with that eye. God is blessing you to enjoy the future of world evangelization. When we look at a person, we quickly say, “He’s wrong,” and stop there. Then your prayer is in vain. God wants to change and bless that person. With that eye many things become visible; with that eye you see correctly. God is blessing your paths with important plans. With that eye you must look. To those of you advanced in years, God is blessing you to enjoy what is His in your remaining life. This (introduction) is the whole answer.
At a glance, many Christians seem no different from unbelievers—we judge lightly, “That person is like this, that person is like that.” God is not like that. God wants to change you, bless you, and use you to save others. This is God’s preconception. With that, view the past, present, and future.

This is extremely important. Among the elderly there are youthful people; among the young there are the aged. The criterion is not the face; it is that this (preconception) becomes hardened within. When teaching Remnants, do not teach by your level. Remnants must live when you are not there; teach them by viewing the age. Even if many problems have come to you, God has a tremendous plan within them. If you lose this (introduction), your prayer is in vain. What you do is meaningless. We need God’s view—not my preconception, but the saving preconception of God that seeks to save. Even some wise unbelievers say, “A person changes more than twelve times.” God is blessing you with a very important plan. Always look with that eye.

▣ Main
1. The past (a platform)
What is our past—and the past of many? In one word, the past is not a scar but a platform.

2. Today
What is our today? In reality there are many problems, difficulties, conflicts, and crises. In a way, our today can be viewed as the future.

3. The future – the throne
Our future can easily feel anxious. But our future is to enjoy the blessing of the throne of God.

2. Today (past, future, eternity)
In fact, our today contains the past, the future, and the eternal. Upon what platform shall we build it?

1. The past (a platform)
(1) Genesis 3, 6, 11 (the hidden background)
We can easily fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11 regarding the past.

(2) Scars
We also end up carrying scars. Genesis 3, 6, and 11 are a hidden background, so people do not realize it. Suppose you have a family. Is it helpful if your husband revolves around you—or your wife around you? Anyone with a bit of sense recognizes that when you center on the other person, it benefits you. Is it better to act by my thoughts, or by God’s thoughts? The results are immense. Left unchecked, I think only centered on myself—falling into the terrifying Genesis 3, 6, and 11. Remember this well.

This applies to ministers too. Is it better to think centered on myself—or on the congregation? Even by calculation alone, centering on the congregation benefits me. At work, many ask, “What benefit do I get?”—that is a loss. Such a person is unnecessary to the company. Ask, “How can I benefit the company?”—then I live. I always say this: either have great faith, or a good mind, or good choices—at least one. If you lack faith, lack sense, and have a foul temper—this “trinity” harms others. Either have true faith or realize rightly. If centered on “me,” only scars remain—no thanksgiving. And Satan targets that.

(3) Family line
God wants all these things in your family line to become a platform for blessing. This is God’s preconception. It becomes very important.

2. Today (past, future, eternity)
(1) Problem – answer
As often said: problems are not matters for worry; they are God’s plan to lead us to the answer.

(2) Conflict – renewal
Recurring conflicts are God’s blessing to lift you a level—today is for renewal.

(3) Crisis – opportunity
Crisis is God’s amazing blessing to grant opportunity. Someone once said, “Crisis is opportunity.” The principle is right: God desires to bless us in this way (main 2).

Always, in work and in viewing people, throw away my preconception. Everyone has them—about “so-and-so,” about this elder or that person. Then when a problem comes, you interpret it only by your own lens—causing immense trouble.

Helen Keller’s main problem was not herself but her parents. The greatest obstacle to her healing was her parents’ preconception: “She cannot.” But Teacher Anne Sullivan said otherwise: “She can—because I did, by God’s power.”

Such preconceptions make tremendous differences and create different paths. Though our future seems anxious, it is not. God has prepared this (the throne) blessing for you. Believe firmly.

3. The future – [the throne]

(1) The kingdom of God
The kingdom of God has come upon you. This is your future. Going to the kingdom later is another story; for now, the kingdom has come.

(2) The work of the kingdom of God
After it comes upon me, it comes upon my work. “The LORD was with Joseph”—that is the kingdom. “Whatever he did, the LORD made it prosper”—that is the work of the kingdom.

(3) Throne-ization
Thus we enjoy the blessing of throne-ization. To enjoy the gospel, I must be gospel-ized; to save the world, I must be world-ized; to convey the throne’s blessing, I must be throne-ized.

I often travel abroad. I don’t even think of it as “going overseas.” I used to feel jet lag; now I don’t—since even in Korea I sleep little. Seniors say, “I can’t sleep.” Do not worry. Doctors speak from scientific and medical statistics—we ought to reference them—but every person differs. As we age, we tend to sleep with our mouth open; long sleep can be harmful. Shorter, segmented sleep with daytime dozing often helps more. One Japanese physician split cancer patients into two groups: one slept eight hours (the medical recommendation), the other only three. The three-hour group recovered faster. I’m not arguing medical doctrine—rather: do not be anxious.

Many elements around you feed anxiety—blood pressure rises with age; that can be normal. The “normal” standards were set largely by pharmaceutical companies; do not be ruled by fear.

God has reserved for you the blessing of the throne. Be assured. In this way, in your remaining years you will give greater glory to God, gain greater strength, and carry out world evangelization.

▣ Conclusion: Simultaneity
View the past, present, and future simultaneously—against God’s timetable from eternity past to eternity. Think as though filming the movie of a life. A film without thrill, problem, or crisis is dull. Your life is such a film.

Glory
Surely God will reveal His glory through you.
This week’s small-group lesson is very important. If this (introduction) is not established, worship, prayer, and the Word become vain. Now, with God’s preconception, view everything. See children with that eye—it changes. See adults with that eye—it changes everything.

In my village there was a man who behaved strangely; all pointed fingers. But a teacher with the gospel met him and smiled, saying, “I’m praying for you.” The young man was moved and asked, “What are you praying for me?” The teacher shared the gospel and added, “You can.” That one short word began his change.

People do change. Speak a word of blessing once a day to your children. Our language too easily curses—then how can they not fall?
May today be a day of great grace for you, in the name of Jesus Christ. Our Immanuel Seoul Church must be full—even on holidays. I will pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, let us discover ourselves within Your plan. Today, by the power unknown to people, heal me. Use us as witnesses who rescue those in many hardships. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
