Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date / Place: November 13, 2022, Immanuel Church (Seoul)

Summary

▷ When you come to church on Sunday, searching for what the best answer is, that is worship and prayer. In fact, you must hold onto the message every day and search. You must take this answer and method with you.

▣ Introduction_ Jesus, Who Is Arrested After Passing the Passover

1. You must first know the background of the text

1) Passing over the Kidron (John 18:1) – The Kidron is the place where the blood of the 246,000 lambs killed on Passover drains out of the temple and flows in. Judas Iscariot, who knew that Jesus was there at times, brought the soldiers and the officers of the Pharisees and came to arrest Him.

2) You must always look at the world’s difficulties with three eyes – naturalness, inevitability, absoluteness

▷ In the church there are people who are not saved and even pastors, and Judas Iscariot, according to his own benefit, brought soldiers to sell and arrest Jesus. What was naturally bound to come has come.

3) Jesus, who boldly revealed Himself to those who came to arrest Him with lanterns, torches, and weapons – The reason they came carrying torches was because they expected that Jesus would be hiding

4) Jesus, who at this time told Peter, who had cut off the right ear of the high priest’s servant, to put his sword into its sheath, and said, “Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given Me?”

2. The reason they took Jesus to Annas before handing Him over to Caiaphas

1) Annas – A successful person to the extent that there was no one among the Israelites who did not know him. As high priest, the person in charge of inspecting and selling the sheep in the courtyard of the Gentiles. A person whose economic power was so mighty that his sons and son-in-law guarded the treasury and the money. That is the place where Jesus swung the whip. That is why Annas told them to bring Jesus.

2) Afterwards, Jesus is handed over to Caiaphas – Caiaphas is the son-in-law of Annas

3. What should we do when we face something so unfair and hard? – Throw away all the bubbles and greed, and truly pray this prayer, “What is God’s absolute plan?”

1) When I faced great difficulty before starting the evangelism movement, I prayed until God’s certain plan was seen – At this time, all the records of certain world evangelization were done

2) When the construction of the Busan Immanuel sanctuary was not happening, the prayer “Why do You not give us a sanctuary?” – The absolute answer of 237, healing, and Summit came out: make a place where multi-ethnic people can come and do 24 (the courtyard of the Gentiles), a church where the sick can come and pray 24 (the courtyard of prayer), and a sanctuary where the future generations can come and properly learn life (the courtyard of children).

3) The prayer “Why here?” regarding Immanuel Seoul Church – Prepare for the three-day weekend age. Otherwise, all the future generations will die. Prepare what is in the Bible. This absolute plan was seen

▷ What is God’s absolute plan? You must pray a thousand times, ten thousand times. Now the future generations must not just listen to a 30-minute sermon. They must come to church and find something for their life.

▣ Main_ Jesus Found the Answer Regarding This Cup of Suffering, “Shall I Not Drink the Cup Which the Father Has Given Me?”

1. This cup of suffering was the beginning of the answer. – Our crisis is the beginning of the answer

1) This cup of suffering was a fact already prophesied in the Old Testament – That is why they kept killing lambs. This means it was promised that He would send Christ and resolve everything on the cross.

▷ If you just hold onto God’s absolute promise, from then on, the work happens.

2) What Jesus Himself said – He promised that He would resurrect in 3 days

3) If you hold onto the cup God gives, God’s thing, the answer begins.

2. This cup of suffering is the beginning of the fact that Jesus is the Christ being witnessed to the whole world. – If you know Christ properly, all the answers are seen.

1) How do we resolve our past? – Christ before eternity

2) What should we do about our current problems? – Christ who became incarnate

3) How do we pray in Jesus’ name? – The resurrected Christ

4) What do we do about our future? – Christ who sits on the throne ruling over us and will come as the Lord of the Second Coming

5) All humans will resurrect and go to heaven and hell! – Christ who will stand as the Lord of judgment

▷ He showed this evidence. It was prophesied in the Old Testament that He would resurrect from the cross, and He is showing that evidence. What all mankind needs is this—your suffering is the beginning of the answer. Your suffering is the beginning of witness.

3. Our standard of choice is to witness Christ and to let other people know Christ (John 18:9, 11).

▷ Christ being proven is the standard. Showing that God is with me is the standard. Remnants, do not listen to nonsense and hold onto the Word. So that, seeing us, they say, “Christ, the solver of all problems.

1) If we faced something unfair and held onto the covenant of Christ in order to become this witness, a 100-year answer

2) If we face hardship without any wrongdoing, a 1000-year answer

3) The unfairness that Jesus, who came as the Savior, suffered is an eternal answer

▣ Conclusion

1. When we look at it, it is a crisis, but when God looks at it, it is the best opportunity.

1) Joseph going as a slave was the best opportunity to go to Egypt, and going to prison was God opening the best way to go to the king

2) Moses’ 40 years in the Midian wilderness was God preparing the best thing

▷ Do not be deceived. It is finding God’s exact plan. This is prayer. How do you find it? If you just pray, it will come out. Once it becomes exact just once, it keeps coming out. If you find the exact path and go, it comes out.

3) David faced death 6 times, but that was the best timetable.

▷ When we look at it, it is crisis and impossibility, but if we find God’s absolute plan here, it is done.

4) All the persecution of the early church turned into the best opportunity.

2. The answer that comes when you know the word Christ

1) You must know the word Christ for everything to be seen and for the way to be seen (John 14:6).

2) The Triune God works.

3) The blessing of the throne comes.

4) You overcome all the powers of darkness.

3. The moment you know this word and hold onto the absolute plan, the answer and the work begin.

▷ For us, there is no “it works, it doesn’t work.” You must change your thinking. It is not “I can, I can’t.” All of that is a human standard. No matter how hard the cup God has given is, if you just discover the absolute plan, from then on, the work begins. Finding this is prayer. It is worship.

Transcript

When you come to church on Sunday, you must search for what the best answer is. That is worshipping, and that is prayer. Actually, you must search for it every day, right? You must hold onto today’s message and search during the six days. Today we must take that answer, that method, with us.

▣ Introduction_ Jesus, Who Is Arrested After Passing the Passover

Right now, after the Passover passes, Jesus is now going to be arrested, right now. You know this, right? Once He is arrested, He is then going to be executed. That scene has come up now today.

1. You must first know the background of the text

Now, first we need to take a little look at the Bible before we go on.

1) Passing over the Kidron (John 18:1)

In our verse 1, it says, “over the Kidron,” like this, right? “He went to Mt Olive, and again entered the temple, and the people came, and He sat down and taught them,” the explanation comes out like this all along. If you look at chapter 18. This Kidron is a brook. A place where water flows. On the day of Passover, they kill 246,000 lambs. Amazing, isn’t it? To keep the Passover, they kill about 246,000 lambs, and that blood would flow, right? So in the temple, there is a drain so that the blood can drain out. Where does this enormous amount of blood flow to? It flows into the Kidron brook. Now it is unneeded blood. Jesus is passing through there, right now. Because they knew the places Jesus usually went in that area, at this time, together with Judas Iscariot, the soldiers have now come to arrest Jesus. Together with the soldiers and the officers of the high priests and Pharisees, Judas Iscariot, since he knows where Jesus is, has come to arrest Him. A disciple has come to arrest Jesus now. There is no need to be flustered.

2) You must always look at the world’s difficulties with three eyes – naturalness, inevitability, absoluteness

Everyone, there are many difficult, dumbfounding things in the world, aren’t there? You must have the eyes to see them. You must always see with three eyes. It is natural, inevitable, absolute. Someone who is not saved can attend church, right? Someone who is not saved can even be a pastor. There are many people who are not saved. According to his own benefit, he has now brought the soldiers to that place to sell and arrest Jesus. It is a dumbfounding thing, right? It is inevitable. But there is an absolute plan there. You must always remember this. Otherwise, you will not receive answers. What was bound to come has come. Right? When Judas Iscariot died, what did the Bible record? “He went to his own place.” That is what it said. There is no need for you to look at people and be discouraged and such. What was naturally bound to come has come.

In Busan, wasn’t it something that happened in a certain big church? One elder built the church, and it seems there was something a little wrong. With their construction. A dispute broke out in the church, and that elder reported the church, I’m telling you. Our church is a church with illegal things like this. He reported it, I’m telling you. The pastor, who didn’t know anything about the construction, kept being investigated, going there. Well, people in Busan will know. “How can that be?” said the people who heard it. “That’s crazy. How can that be?” It is natural. Right? A person who has nothing to do with salvation can attend church. It is a natural thing.

3) Jesus, who boldly revealed Himself to those who came to arrest Him with lanterns, torches, and weapons

What did they bring? They brought lanterns, brought torches, and brought weapons. Why did they bring torches? They expected, “Jesus is probably hiding.” It was a misunderstanding. Since He’d be hiding somewhere, we need fire to catch Him. That’s why they brought them. Jesus stepped forward boldly. He asked, “Whom do you seek?” When Jesus boldly came out and asked, “Whom do you seek?” they said, “We seek Jesus of Nazareth.” At that time, Judas was also standing with them. So Jesus said in verse 6, “I am He.” He said, “I am that person.” How much Jesus’ power was manifested at that time. It says those people fell to the ground. If you look at today’s text. Jesus asks again. “Whom do you seek?” “We seek Jesus of Nazareth,” they said. Jesus said in verse 8, “Since I am that person, take Me. And don’t touch everyone else,” He said, right? “Don’t touch the disciples and let them go.”

4) Jesus, who at this time told Peter, who had cut off the right ear of the high priest’s servant, to put his sword into its sheath, and said, “Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given Me?”

This is how Jesus was now arrested. At that time, Peter, who was watching from the side, swung his sword, right? An officer who had followed along, a person named “Malchus,” and his ear flew off. How did he make the ear fly off? Was it a miss, or did he hit it precisely? There’s no way to know. Anyway, he made the ear fly off. At that time, Jesus said, “Put up your sword,” and the words He spoke were, “Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given Me?” That is what He said.

2. The reason they took Jesus to Annas before handing Him over to Caiaphas

1) Annas

They arrested Jesus and took Him to the high priest Annas. And they hand Him over to Caiaphas, but why did they take Him to Annas first, that is the thing. He must have told them to bring Him to Annas. There is no one in Israel who doesn’t know this man named Annas. He is a tremendously successful person. This person was the high priest, and what was he in charge of? He is the person responsible for inspecting and selling the sheep, the animals, in the courtyard of the Gentiles. His economic power is mighty. Just for the lambs, they kill 246,000, I’m telling you. His sons guard that treasury. So much money came in that the son-in-law handles the managing of it. The place where Jesus swung the whip is there. That’s why Annas told them to bring Him. There is a reason, right?

2) Afterwards, Jesus is handed over to Caiaphas

And then He is handed over to Caiaphas. Caiaphas is the son-in-law of Annas.

3. What should we do when we face something so unfair and hard? – Throw away all the bubbles and greed, and truly pray this prayer, “What is God’s absolute plan?”

1) When I faced great difficulty before starting the evangelism movement, I prayed until God’s certain plan was seen

Everyone, when you face something so unfair and hard, what should you do? Well, Jesus is the almighty God and the Son of God, so let’s say that’s that, but what should we do? Before I met you all, when I started the evangelism movement, it would have been about 40 years ago. I encountered a very great difficulty. It got to the point of “Ah, it has become impossible.” Other people thought so too. It wasn’t just me who thought so, other people thought so too. That was when. I truly prayed. I took out all the bubbles and truly prayed. I threw away all my greed and truly prayed. What is that key? “What is God’s absolute plan?” There’s no need to find it quickly either. I prayed until God gave it. At that time, so certainly, all the records about world evangelization, I did them all at that time. There’s no need to be discouraged. They said everything was dead, but it wasn’t. I found God’s absolute plan. It is important.

2) When the construction of the Busan Immanuel sanctuary was not happening, the prayer “Why do You not give us a sanctuary?”

A few years ago, I prayed that kind of prayer. “God, why do You not give us a sanctuary in Busan? We need it.” While praying that prayer, I found the absolute answer. Prepare a place where multi-ethnic people can come and do 24. It’s in the Bible, isn’t it, the courtyard of the Gentiles. Make it a church where the sick can come and pray 24 to their heart’s content, the courtyard of prayer. Make something where the future generations can properly learn life 24, the courtyard of children. That is 237, healing, Summit. Right? I held firmly onto that covenant. Now the permit came through. God will work.

3) The prayer “Why here?” regarding Immanuel Seoul Church

Do you know what I prayed when I came here? “Why should we come here?” The church that was here before, it became a mountain here, and people didn’t come, so they couldn’t run the church, I’m telling you. Right? I didn’t worry about that. Our members climb up a rope even if it’s a cliff, so that’s fine, but “Why here?” I got the answer early on. “Prepare for the three-day weekend age. If you do not prepare for that, all the future generations will die. Prepare what doesn’t exist in the world. Prepare what is in the Bible.” Right? There’s no need to do it with even a little bubble or with my greed. It is holding onto what God’s absolute plan is. Everyone, do it that way. There’s nothing to be in a hurry about. From then on, God’s work begins. I don’t really like people who work excessively hard. They have never succeeded. They succeed and then fail. Right? What is God’s absolute plan? Aren’t we children of God? Right? Then you must ask a thousand times, ten thousand times. “What is God’s absolute plan?” Now Pastor Kim Hyung-gil is going. I tell him to always ask that. Then it’ll work. The church members are not like that. If the pastor firmly holds onto God’s plan, the church members are bound to help. There’s no need for useless experience. Our, well, Pastor Lee Eun-joo, it seems they’re all going to the mother church, search. So that’s how the answer came out, “Ah, now the Remnants must not come to church for 30 minutes and listen to a sermon once a week.” Right? The Remnants must come to this church and find something. Right? They must find life, the exact thing. Won’t God give it? And now that I think about it, this is a perfectly fitting place. You must find the absolute answer.

▣ Main_ Jesus Found the Answer Regarding This Cup of Suffering, “Shall I Not Drink the Cup Which the Father Has Given Me?”

Jesus said, “Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given Me?” He found the absolute answer. It is the cup of suffering. Right? But because it was certain, He said, “I will drink it.”

1. This cup of suffering was the beginning of the answer. – Our crisis is the beginning of the answer

It is the first. This cup of suffering was the beginning of the answer. Everyone, your crisis is the beginning of the answer. You must remember this.

1) This cup of suffering was a fact already prophesied in the Old Testament

This was already, already prophesied in the Old Testament. That is why they kept killing lambs. That means, “He will send Christ and resolve everything on the cross.” It was promised in the Old Testament. Everyone, there is nothing to do in a hurry. There is nothing to add either. Nothing to take away either. Just firmly hold onto only God’s absolute promise.

2) What Jesus Himself said

From then on, the work happens. Jesus Himself said, didn’t He? “I will be handed over into their hands and die. But I will resurrect within 3 days.” He said that, didn’t He? It was promised many times in the Bible too.

3) If you hold onto the cup God gives, God’s thing, the answer begins.

If you, in the midst of suffering, hold onto the cup God gives, God’s thing, it becomes the beginning of the answer, this is it.

2. This cup of suffering is the beginning of the fact that Jesus is the Christ being witnessed to the whole world. – If you know Christ properly, all the answers are seen.

It is the second. What cup is this cup? What answer is it? It is the beginning of the fact being witnessed that the Christ whom the whole world needs most is none other than Jesus. Everyone, if you know Christ properly, all the answers are seen.

1) How do we resolve our past? – Christ before eternity

How do we resolve all our past? Christ, who was there before eternity. He came wearing a human body.

2) What should we do about our current problems? – Christ who became incarnate

What do we do about our current problems? Christ who became incarnate.

3) How do we pray in Jesus’ name? – The resurrected Christ

Well, how should we pray in Jesus’ name? It works.

4) What do we do about our future? – Christ who sits on the throne ruling over us and will come as the Lord of the Second Coming

The resurrected Christ. What do we do about our future? Christ who sits on the throne ruling over us and will stand as the Lord of the Second Coming.

5) All humans will resurrect and go to heaven and hell! – Christ who will stand as the Lord of judgment

Later, the timetable comes when all humans resurrect and are raptured to hell, to heaven, right? Christ who will stand as the Lord of judgment. He is now showing this proof. It’s true that it was very hard, but Jesus is not afraid of suffering. He stepped forward boldly. Well, a person dying and coming back to life in 3 days is a miracle too, isn’t it? But Jesus said it beforehand, I’m telling you. Even more amazing, it was prophesied in the Old Testament. It is the evidence that He is Christ. Because what our mankind needs is Christ, He is now showing that evidence.

Your suffering is the beginning of the answer. Make it certain. Your suffering is the beginning of witness. Jesus already witnessed it. This place.

3. Our standard of choice is to witness Christ and to let other people know Christ (John 18:9, 11).

Lastly, the third. It’s about what our standard of choice is. The standard of choice is none other than witnessing Christ and making other people know Christ, that is the standard. It is verse 9. “This was to fulfill that the Father would not lose even one.” That’s what it said, right? Also, what does it say in verse 11? “Put up your sword. Shall I not drink the cup which the Father has given Me?” This is our standard. Isn’t it? Christ being proven is the standard. Showing that God is with you is the standard. Especially our Remnants, never miss this. I’m telling you not to listen to nonsense. Hold onto God’s Word. You must make them see you and say, “Wow! Christ is the solver of all problems.” “Ah! That person receives God’s blessing.” It is that witness. Today Jesus is now explaining this, right?

1) If we faced something unfair and held onto the covenant of Christ in order to become this witness, a 100-year answer

If you faced something unfair and hold onto the covenant of Christ in order to become this witness, a 100-year answer comes. Right?

2) If we face hardship without any wrongdoing, a 1000-year answer

Especially if you face hardship without any wrongdoing, a thousand-year answer comes.

3) The unfairness that Jesus, who came as the Savior, suffered is an eternal answer

The unfairness that Jesus, who came as the Savior, suffered, an eternal answer came, that’s what I mean.

▣ Conclusion

1. When we look at it, it is a crisis, but when God looks at it, it is the best opportunity.

Crisis, when we look at it, it’s a crisis. Right? But when God looks at it, it is the best opportunity.

1) Joseph going as a slave was the best opportunity to go to Egypt, and going to prison was God opening the best way to go to the king

Let me give an example. Joseph going as a slave became the best opportunity to go to Egypt. Right? Joseph going to prison was God making the best opportunity for him to go to the king.

2) Moses’ 40 years in the Midian wilderness was God preparing the best thing

Moses was chased out and lived like a dead person in the Midian wilderness for 40 years. God was preparing the best thing. Do not be deceived. It is finding God’s exact plan. That is prayer. How do you find it? Just try praying. It is bound to come out. Once this becomes exact just once, it keeps coming out. Right? When we walk a road, if we go the wrong way once, we keep going wrong, don’t we? But if you find the exact path and go a little, it keeps coming out. You must hold onto this.

3) David faced death 6 times, but that was the best timetable.

David faced death as many as six times, didn’t he? Right? That was the best timetable. When we look at it, it’s a crisis. When we look at it, it’s impossible. But if you find God’s absolute plan, that ends it. Even unbelievers search for the will of heaven, but aren’t we children of God? Never miss this.

4) All the persecution of the early church turned into the best opportunity.

All the persecution that happened in the early church after Jesus’ resurrection turned into the best opportunities. Today, here, you must now firmly hold onto this as covenant.

2. The answer that comes when you know the word Christ

1) You must know the word Christ for everything to be seen and for the way to be seen (John 14:6).

Knowing Christ rightly means that later everything will all be seen. You must know this word Christ for the way to be seen, and “I am the way, the truth, and the life,” He said, didn’t He? You must know the word Christ

2) The Triune God works.

The Triune God works.

3) The blessing of the throne comes.

I’m telling you, you must know that word for the blessing of the throne to come.

4) You overcome all the powers of darkness.

You must know that word for all the powers of darkness to collapse.

When I meet Buddhist monks, I tell them. You need Christ. Aren’t your spiritual problems too hard? You need Christ. Who is Christ? What does Christ mean? It’s a tremendous story.

3. The moment you know this word and hold onto the absolute plan, the answer and the work begin.

Everyone, if you just know this word, from the moment you hold onto God’s absolute plan, the answer begins to come. There is no reason to be discouraged and no reason to give up. There’s no reason to force yourself to cheer up either. Does it work just because you cheer up? Isn’t that so? Does the impossible become possible? It doesn’t. From the moment you discover God’s absolute plan, God’s work definitely begins. It is a witness. There is nothing to teach you and nothing to boast about. It is a witness.

It was the last church I was at as an associate pastor, and that church fought a lot. But there was a couple, a custodian deacon and his wife, who worked at that church. These people always had smiling faces. Well, it was hard, and since they fought, the church members tormented them so much. That custodian deacon couple. Even though they tormented them, these people were so joyful. They said they loved doing the Lord’s work so much. There was one rather wicked elder, and he would just ignore them and torment them and do things like this. But these people always, with smiling faces, were thankful and such. When I saw it, I thought, “Wow! That’s amazing.” They had three sons. I don’t know about the youngest, but the oldest son at that time passed the very difficult civil service exam and became a high-ranking government official. The second son was a friend who studied really well, and this friend had a mission, so he went to seminary, studied, and became a pastor. He does ministry well. The third son, I don’t know well how he turned out. Because I saw them back when I was young. I heard words from this couple that I couldn’t even hear in sermons, I’m telling you. They said they are so thankful that they get to do church work like this. Ah, couldn’t we go somewhere else and work? But in the church, in the house of the Lord, I work and pray, and it’s so good, they said. But that thing, I’m telling you, why, but that thing, I’m telling you, I could feel it sincerely, you know? It’s not a lie. It’s sincere. “Wow!” When you’re like that, God’s work can’t help but happen.

What is God’s absolute plan for you? “Shall I not drink the cup the Lord gave today, the cup the Father has given Me?” He said. No matter how hard it is.

Isn’t it a story from a long time ago? It was even on KBS and such, a father and son live together, they live in a semi-basement like this. It’s hard, right? There’s no mother either. But the son and the father ordered food, like this. But they ordered the food, and this kid doesn’t come, you know? So when they called the restaurant, they said he left. He came after a long while. When he came, he said he was so sorry. And then this kid couldn’t walk properly and was limping. So this father and son (父子), you know, asked “Why are you like that? Did you get hurt?” and he’d had an accident on the way. But he said he was sorry, that he should have kept his promise but he was late, he was so sorry. But they told him to come in, and since he could barely walk, he came in and they helped him a bit and such, and they heard his story, the kid’s story.

This kid needed to study, but he had no parents and no one to help him, this kid. Back then, there were still many who had little, but he was working at a Chinese restaurant. This kid was delivering jjajangmyeon and doing things like that. But suddenly the father pulled out money he had hidden somewhere and gave it to the kid. Telling him to go to school. The son was so surprised. Our father is poor right now, how did he have this? He gave it, telling him to study. A very long time passed. But this father got old and faced great hardship. After almost several decades they appeared and met, and this delivery kid had become a judge. Back in the old days, well, now it’s easy to find people, everyone has a cell phone, but in the old days that was hard. There were even times when family lived in the same neighborhood but couldn’t meet for decades, right? That can happen. So this kid who became a judge, you know, said he’d always been searching, didn’t he. Where these people were. So this elderly man was so thankful, “I don’t need to receive help from you. Just that you became like this, I’m so thankful. Truly, I thank God.”

For us, there is no “it works, it doesn’t work.” Today you must change your thinking. It is not “I can, I can’t.” That is all a human standard. No matter how hard the cup God has given is, if you just discover the absolute plan, from that moment on the work begins, this is it. Finding this is prayer. Finding this is worship. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that from now on your life will begin within this blessing. I hope it becomes a day of receiving grace all day long. Let us pray.

Prayer

We give thanks to God. Let today be an important day in my life. If there is anyone who is in suffering or sick, let it be a day of covenant where they find God’s absolute plan. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sunday 2nd Service / Temple Construction Dedication Service
Title / Scripture: Jesus’ Last Prayer (John 17:13-26)
Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date / Place: November 6, 2022 / Immanuel Church (Busan)

Summary

The church must not teach other things. It must speak the gospel properly.

▣ Introduction_ Making the bartizan of prayer that enjoys the secret of the throne – Me, Work, Church

1. Kingdom, Throne, Work of the kingdom – When Jesus first taught prayer, He spoke about “the kingdom”; after He was resurrected, about “the throne”; and at Mt Olive, about “the work of the kingdom of God.” The work of the kingdom of God is being fulfilled even now.

2. World X (verses 14-15) – Since we do not belong to the world, He prayed that the disciples would not fall into the world.

3. Show the disciples the glory You showed me from the creation of the world (verse 24).

Genesis 1:1-3 Show the power of light, of creation.

Genesis 1:27 Show that we can live with the life of God.

Genesis 2:7 This blessing is what existed at creation.

This is the platform of the bartizan that enjoys the throne, the watchman bartizan that saves others and me, the antenna that communicates spiritually with God.

4. Name Key (John 17:11-12) – The key that opens the bartizan of the throne is Christ.

5. Authority (Status) – Let them know that they have authority and status (verse 26).

1. 237, Healing, Summit (24 system) – Give us the bartizan where 237, healing, and summit become a 24 system.

2. Life – Give us the bartizan where the lives of many people take place here. A church with a bartizan where people cannot help but come, where there is true rest, and where prayer happens.

3. RUTC Center – Churches where such a system is not possible, use the RUTC Center to open the three-day weekend age and save the children.

1,000 bartizans – Let it be a church where 1,000 such bartizans are established.

1. The Triune God will work
2. The blessing of the throne will come, and the Lord’s messengers, armies, and angels will be mobilized
3. Satan will be bound and darkness will be bound. This is the kingdom.

▣ Main

1. Promise – Baton – Jesus who prayed holding the baton of God’s promise
1) RT 7
2) Hebrews 11 figures
3) The 120 held this baton and prayed

2. People who saw the future
1) Verse 13, Joy – Let them be filled with joy.
2) Verse 14, Word – I have given them the Father’s word
3) Verse 21, Bartizan – As You, Father, are in me and I am in You, let them also be one and be in us

▷ We must know the reason only Christ was sent. When we are saved, the Triune God works invisibly, and one is a believer when one knows that when we hold the covenant and pray, the forces of darkness are bound, the blessing of the throne comes, and the heavenly armies are mobilized.

3. Today
1) World X – Let them know that though they live in the world, they do not belong to the world (verse 14).
2) Verse 15 – Let them not fall into the world now.
3) Glory – Let them see my glory which You have given me (verse 24).

3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation – Me, studies, and church that know the only, enjoy uniqueness, and challenge re-creation

Transcript

A long time ago, when we were students, we went to the house where President Park Chung-hee lived. It’s in the Gumi area, and if you look in front of it, there’s a church. Until President Park Chung-hee went out into the world, while he lived there, he attended that church. As far as I know, in the case of President Chun Doo-hwan too, I understand his wedding was held at a church. Now, President Roh Tae-woo’s daughter, believes well, that daughter too is a person who believes well. Well, recently in the news I saw that Ms. Kim Keon-hee also attended church until high school.

Why am I telling this story? The church must not teach other things. It looks like you’re doing well, but those people heard a lot of other things. In reality there’s no answer and no reason to attend church. Many pastors, the church leaders in the church now, must remember this. When time passes, you regret it bitterly. These were all smart people, but that President Park Chung-hee who attended church from childhood, someone, the evangelist, didn’t speak the gospel properly, you see. If you speak the gospel properly, it becomes one of the two, either they don’t attend church, or they surely receive answers.

Today’s passage is the last prayer that Jesus prays. We must remember it well.

「Jesus’ Last Prayer」

I said it’s the content of Jesus’ last prayer today. Then we must understand it properly.

▣ Introduction

We must know the reason there is no answer.

1. [ Kingdom ] [ Throne ] [ Work of the kingdom of God ]

When Jesus first taught prayer, He taught this. He talked about “the kingdom of God.” And He said to pray, “Your kingdom come.”

After Jesus was resurrected, He talked about “the throne.”

And lastly at Mt Olive, He explained “the work of the kingdom of God.”

Now, how does it look? This is content that, if a person who is not saved looks at it, cannot be seen. For people who don’t know real prayer, it’s content they have absolutely no interest in. Isn’t that right? So naturally they don’t receive prayer answers. What I mean is, we, well, the kingdom of God, well, the throne, the kingdom, this doesn’t fit us, this. In fact, Jesus only spoke this and left.

2. World X (14-15)

Now, look carefully today. What is He praying now today? “We do not belong to the world.” Well, in the end it’s the same words. Isn’t it the same words as this (Introduction 1)? And He prays for these people of God, “These do not belong to the world.” And now looking today, in verse 15, “Let them not fall into the world.” He’s praying this. God, Jesus, it’s the last prayer. Since they don’t belong to the world, so that the disciples don’t fall into the world, He’s earnestly praying, Jesus.

Now, would this prayer of Jesus be an ordinary prayer? Now. We must look at this part well. As you come to realize this, many answers will come to you. Well, it’s okay even if the answer doesn’t come. I’m certain. Because this (Introduction 1) is surely being fulfilled. The kingdom of God is coming and the work of this kingdom is surely being fulfilled.

Now, then if we are in this (Introduction 2) situation, not people who belong to the world now, and we fulfill the work of the kingdom of God, what must we make?

[ Bartizan of prayer ] – [ Me ] [ Work ] [ Church ]

It’s making a bartizan of prayer that enjoys the tremendous throne. Where? In me. You must make this bartizan. Now, I said it’s not belonging to the world. It’s the bartizan that fulfills the kingdom of God and the throne and the kingdom of God. In fact, a long time ago I didn’t pray, and because I thought prayer didn’t get answered, ever since I knew this (Introduction), I prayed and received answers. And the answers came so precisely too. It will surely be so for you.

Where do I mean? Finally in your work. In your studies. And what? This bartizan must be established in the church, I mean. I mean the bartizan of prayer that Jesus taught is established.

3. [ Genesis 1:1-3, 1:27, 2:7 ]

Now, if you look at today’s passage here, another important thing comes out. What comes out is, in verse 24, “Show the glory given from the creation of the world, given to me.” He’s saying something tremendous. “Show the glory You gave me, showed me from the creation of the world to these disciples, to the people of God,” Jesus is praying, now.

When is before the creation of the world? In Genesis 1:1, 3, “Show this power of light, of creation, this.” In Genesis 1:27, “Can’t our life live with the life of God? Show this.” Look at Genesis 2:7, I said He talked about this blessing being what was in Genesis.

[ Platform, Watchman bartizan, Antenna ]

What is this (Introduction 3)? This is the platform of the bartizan that enjoys the throne. This is completely now the watchman bartizan that saves others and saves me too. This is the antenna that communicates spiritually with God. Unmistakable answers take place.

4. Name Key (John 17:11-12)

How is this recorded? In verse 26 it came out like this, “Let them know the Father’s name, let them know that the love is in them.” The name is the key. It came out in today’s chapter 17 passage. Jesus Christ said, “He gave the name of God to Himself.” The name that guards this bartizan and opens the door of the throne is Christ, Jesus Christ, the name of the Lord, that’s what I mean.

5. Authority (Status)

In verse 26, “Let them know the Father’s name and let them know that the love is in them.” Because you have this status, let them know that they have authority.

This is Jesus’ last prayer today. We must pay attention, right? Now, from after this, His being arrested comes out. Now, how much Jesus is speaking this earnest prayer.

Let you, with these amazing 5 things, this secret, establish the bartizan in me and my work and church. I hope you firmly hold this covenant. Don’t pray other prayers for the temple construction, let it be a church where this (Introduction) bartizan, 1,000 bartizans stand. God will give many evidences.

[ 1. 237, Healing, Summit (24) System ]

As you pray now, since it’s the temple construction dedication service, the content is this (Introduction), and you must pray. What prayer do I mean? Establish the bartizan. “Give us the system where 237, healing, summit become 24.” Here, Immanuel Seoul over there, Ulsan over there, our Changwon church, pray. Here, “Give us the system where these people come now and do 24, this kind of bartizan.” This is an important prayer.

[ Life ]

Now completely, “Give us the bartizan where the lives of many people take place here.” I think even unbelievers can come to our church to rest, that there should be. Why? A church where people’s lives are. A church with this saving bartizan. People, I mean, a church where the people around here can even park. In ordinary times. Isn’t that right? A church where they can even come to use the restroom. The church must become a church where people can come like this.

Places like Immanuel Seoul Church have a really good surrounding environment. You must make it a church people cannot help but come to. ‘Wow, here is truly rest.’ Churches like this. ‘Wow, coming here, prayer happens.’ A church like this. You must establish that kind of bartizan.

[ RUTC Center ]

So especially, we started praying continuously from this week now, and churches where such a church system is not possible, use the RUTC Center. Here, especially, how good is it for places like the capital area? Here, open the three-day weekend age in earnest. God will answer. Save the children. Also, when time passes, don’t make children who attended church and quit, but make children who properly enjoy this (Introduction) blessing.

At least, you must know what the kingdom of God and the throne are within this secret of the Triune God. Today, the moment you hold this covenant and believe, God will surely work in you and your work and studies and church.

You’ll be a bit surprised. I have nothing to testify. Why? Because God accomplishes it. Isn’t that right? What is there to testify? In fact, there are shameful things, but nothing to boast about. Just that I came to worship with you is a thankful thing. Right? Just that I became a member of our church is a thankful thing. Why? It’s tremendous that God put us in this (Introduction) enormous blessing.

You may, perhaps, there will be people like, ‘Ah, I’m so powerless like this and things don’t go well.’ I also had such times, but looking back, it wasn’t that things didn’t go well, it was truly needed time. In the old days I had no meaning, you know, ‘What, why must I live?’ I felt like that, I tell you. ‘What on earth, how must I do to live well?’ I worried about making a living. Looking at it all now, that is the necessary timetable of preparation. I, who didn’t know prayer, back then thought prayer wasn’t answered. Now I enjoy prayer answers precisely.

[ 1,000 bartizans ]

Establish 1,000 bartizans at Immanuel Busan. This is the beginning of our temple construction. Make this (Introduction) work be fulfilled. What will surely happen?

[ 1. Triune God ]

The power of the Triune God will work invisibly. This is now the kingdom.

[ 2. Throne, Messengers, Armies, Angels ]

The blessing of the throne will surely come. Then the messengers of the Lord and the armies of heaven and the angels of the Lord will run errands.

[ 3. Satan bound ]

Then at this time, Satan will surely be bound and darkness will be bound. This is the kingdom.

Enjoy this answer and build the temple that can do this 237, healing, summit. The moment you hold the covenant, it will be confirmed later. You will see this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) answer. David confessed. “Praise the Lord, you His angels, mighty ones who do His word.” That’s right.

Many theologians and pastors, if this is not believable to you, I’m a little sorry, but you may not know spiritual things and may not have been saved. Check it. Why do I talk about Satan? It’s in the Bible the most. Perhaps don’t tremble too much because Pastor Kim Ki-dong talked about this. That person is not the standard. He passed away a few days ago. There’s no need not to talk about the most important thing in the Bible because of that person.

So I once gave a message. I said, “Because of Berea over there repeatedly speaking wrongly, the Korean church, in order to block that, ended up doing this kind of thing of blocking something enormous.” So they contacted me from that side. They asked, “What did we do wrong? Can we have a debate?” Well, “Okay.” But well, it didn’t happen, but this much these important things are going back and forth, now.

Now, look at the Bible in detail. Theologians, I’m not talking to you, theologian pastors, look at the Bible in detail. If you take this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) out, what are you going to believe? Curing a cold? You don’t need to believe in Jesus for that. What do I mean? To build? You don’t need to believe in Jesus for that. Now a tremendous story, in the Bible now, it’s seeing this (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound) that we call a bartizan. When you hold this (Introduction) covenant, 237, healing, summit unfold. Right?

Then the question is what will happen to your work now. What will God do? Unimaginable things happen. Look at the elder of the church I was at before, who did so much church work. That elder, this person knew nothing but church work, nothing but saving the church. I saw such a person for the first time. Only saving the church, like this, he doesn’t talk much. This person just, simply does the work of saving the church. God poured out economy. With that he keeps doing church work. Sending missions and doing like this.

It’s just before parting with me. Because I had to come here, just before, he was alive, but just before, what happened? Even just before I came here, you know ‘Myeongji,’ that former green onion field, it’s the elder’s. A big one. The people of that town thought it was land that couldn’t be used because they had no money, and gave it to the elder for only a little money. Well, it’s tremendous now, isn’t it? Because of one important person who has the gospel, God just drives the economy of light.

Well, I feel it every time I come to Yeongdo. Always, our Pastor Jeong Eun-ju says, “In that countryside, you know, it’s a miracle,” and like this always treats our church as countryside, but it’s not, here is now tremendous. The fastest way to the airport in Busan is Yeongdo. Roads are open this way and that. You can go up that way to Haeundae, wherever, to Gijang, all of it, now. Also a tunnel is being dug in front. Then this, in Busan, well, becomes amazing. Probably it will be because of Immanuel Church. This is not my story. It’s what the district mayor who had stepped down before said. I heard he passed away, there was a District Mayor Park something, you know, it’s what he said. “Perhaps because Immanuel Church is in Yeongdo, Yeongdo receives blessing,” he said, an unbeliever. It was probably said as a joke, but I see it as very meaningful.

If you are truly witnesses who must do this gospel movement, God will fulfill these (Introduction) five things. And this (the chart next to the Introduction) work will surely happen. You must think again. This (Triune God, throne, messengers, armies, angels, Satan bound). The Triune God and the throne and the heavenly armies, all of Satan, hell, the powers of darkness collapsing, what will you do other than this? If you don’t know this, you can’t establish the bartizan. Isn’t that right? If you don’t know the enemy spiritually, why establish a bartizan? Right? If you don’t know the secret of saving spiritually, how do you establish it? If you don’t know what the great background that happens spiritually is, how do you establish this (bartizan of prayer), that’s what I mean.

So no matter how hard they try and strive, how much churches don’t go well and evangelism doesn’t go well, because they fight every day and such. I do ministry and go back and forth, don’t I? Looking at our elders, there was never fighting like faction fights, in our church. Not even once. Well, if opinions are a bit like that, they discuss with each other, pray, talk, things like this, but I’ve never seen them fight over such things. Now, the Korean church fights like that whenever they’re bored. They can’t help but fight. Well, because they don’t know the answer. This (Introduction) makes tremendous things happen, this.

Why am I talking this long? It’s Jesus’ last prayer.

▣ Main

Here a few important things for establishing the bartizan come out.

1. Promise – Baton

He prayed holding God’s promise. Jesus. This promise surely has this baton, right? Flowing down all along. He prays holding that.

1) RT 7

The 7 Remnants held this covenant.

2) Hebrews 11

The people of Hebrews 11 held this covenant.

3) 120

The 120 apostles and disciples who held Jesus’ message held this covenant, that’s what I mean.

2. Future

Here today is the prayer of people who saw the future tremendously. Now, what does Jesus say?

1) 13 Joy

In verse 13, “I am going to the Father. Let my joy be full in them.” Now, He prayed this prayer. Jesus, to you. “I am now going to the Father, so let these disciples and saints truly be filled with this joy.”

2) 14 Word

And what does it say in verse 14? “I deliver the Father’s word to them, so let them not belong to the world.” Now, they deliver God’s word to them like this.

3) 21 Bartizan

And He spoke an important word in verse 21. “Let them believe that the Father is in me, and they are also in us.” Now, it’s a tremendous message now. This is the answer of the bartizan of prayer of the throne. Once again in verse 21, “The Father in me. They, they also in us.” What on earth does this mean? This is a very important bartizan. “Let them believe this.” I hope you believe.

It’s a word that worldly churches have no interest in at all, but it’s the most important word. Why did I talk about the presidents first? Because they all attended church, I’m telling you. You must not make such churches. They should have heard this (Introduction) covenant from childhood. You must know why only Christ was sent, for what reason He was sent. If we are saved, what happens? The Triune God works invisibly, right? You must know that. We should have known the fact that when we hold this covenant and pray, the forces of darkness are bound. Then the blessing of the throne comes and the heavenly armies are mobilized, I mean. Knowing this is a believer. How is it? In this Gospel of John there are many very important things, and Jesus is now wrapping up an important message, He’s praying.

3. Today

And with that He talked about today. Why? Because today is the future. He looked at today with that future, but today is the future. It’s the same but different.

1) World X

It comes out in verse 14. “Let them know the word and know that they do not belong to the world. Let them know that though they live in the world now, they do not belong to it.”

2) 15

So it came out in verse 15, right? “Because they live in the world, let them not fall into the world now.”

3) Glory

Especially in verse 22, “Give them the glory You gave me.” Jesus prayed for us to the end and left.

This (Main) is Jesus’ prayer. This (Introduction) is the answer you will receive, the content of why we must build the temple. You will receive the answer of a lifetime. After David prepared this, what happened? The work happened all the way to Solomon.

▣ Conclusion

It’s the conclusion.

1. Faith (in advance)

To what degree must our faith be? All people who received prayer answers held it in advance. This is our faith. Why? To receive prayer answers, faith that holds what is certain.

2. CVDIP (picture)

The word CVDIP means you must actually have the picture clearly drawn. From now on. It’s faith that believes what will surely come. And holding CVDIP, this picture, firmly. All Remnants must do this.

3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation

And what? You must find three things. Anytime you just find these. Only, uniqueness, re-creation. My studies, job, church that know the only. My studies, job, church that enjoy uniqueness, you must enjoy. Finally, a church that challenges re-creation. That’s up to here.

Because it’s so important, you must hold this (Introduction) covenant for the answer to come. The answer is bound to come. Before the answer comes, what you see is, you see this first, in advance (Conclusion 1). Then you can draw the CVDIP picture clearly.

In the dark days, when I came into Yeongdo here, I went around thinking of a training ground here. I drew that picture. Thankfully, our saints understood my prayer and prayed a lot. As I see it, well, they probably didn’t really understand, but still. How would they have thought that I go around looking for these mountains? I understand. How would they have thought that our disciples of the world would come here now and receive training? I said I understand. In the future 237 nations will move. It will be hard to understand. God does it.

However, us randomly, saying “Let’s evangelize to revive the church,” that’s not evangelism. We’re not saying to do that. “Let’s do tremendous missions to show off our church.” We’re not saying to do such bad things. That’s a bad thing. The dying souls, fallen into darkness, we must prevent things like a second, third Halloween day from happening now. You must realize this.

So if you pray to build this kind of temple, God gives you the blessing of the throne first. It’s certain. He will mobilize the invisible heavenly armies. He will collapse the forces of darkness that people absolutely cannot understand.

Now youth all over the world are covered with darkness. We must pray. It’s not an ordinary problem. Still, the adults somewhat know a little, but the current generation hardly knows. Our Remnants are receiving training here, but the youth now, what is the church? They absolutely don’t know. What will you do? They don’t know the spiritual world. Those kids don’t even know what drugs are. They just fall into it. Because people just need to make money, they sell it somehow. They sell it to students too. I haven’t been, but from what I hear, well, places like bars are full of drugs, they say. They say you can get it as much as you want. It has come to this situation.

I mean it’s this kind of situation all over the world. It kills all the future generations. That Halloween day, it’s chaos all over the world. Well, even if you go to the Philippines, if you look at the day when they make ghosts and such, it’s chaos. It’s really strange. Even though no one taught them, if you go around the whole world, places of idol worship always have a snake made, a snake. It’s peculiar, right? So if you check history and such for why they made it, there’s nothing. They just made it. It’s exactly running errands for the devil. Even though nobody told them to. It’s not something taught at school, someone made it. Now this demonic culture is spreading all over the world. It’s not the politicians’ responsibility. Because they don’t know. We must pray. How would they know? What will businesspeople do? They just need to make money. Something happens. How would they know? The spiritual problem, they don’t know.

This place will become the temple that fulfills what God desires most. Let us pray.

Prayer

God, let us stand as witnesses who receive answers just as they are in the Bible. Let us stand as witnesses who block darkness. Let us stand as witnesses who fulfill the kingdom of God, the most important thing in the Bible, and its work. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.”
— Genesis 13:18 —

Praise
“Revelation Song“

Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

Prayer
7 Bartizans · 7 Journeys · 7 Guideposts

Sunday 1st Service, RU Sunday
Title / Scripture: Prayer Is the Power That Transcends Time and Space (John 17:1-12)
Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date / Place: November 6, 2022, Immanuel Church (Busan)

Summary

▷ Believers receiving baptism education must be certain about what answers they must receive. It is RU Sunday, so how can we evangelize America? It is normal for our studies and work to be used for world evangelization, so what should we do?

▣ Introduction

1. On the timetable when He was soon to be executed on the cross, Jesus gave important ‘two messages.’

▷ Jesus gave an important message now, when the disciples were in a situation where they would have to run away or give up. Here the fake and the real are distinguished, and whether one receives answers or not is determined.

1) He said He would send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to be with all of you (John 17:5)

▷ He said it is more beneficial for Him to die on the cross, be resurrected, and go to the kingdom of God, because He would send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to work in all people simultaneously. In John 17:5, He said He would be with them in the glory before the creation of the world that transcends time and space.

2) He said that through prayer they would transcend time and space

▷ Those who understood this word are real. But those who did not understand are fake.

2. If you can hold onto this covenant and enjoy prayer, you will evangelize the world.

1) People who do not understand Jesus’ message at all

(1) The people of that time who did not understand and mostly ran away

(2) The Jewish leaders who dismissed it as nonsensical, crazy talk

(3) Their descendants were cursed for 2,000 years.

2) Christians who do not believe in the work of the Holy Spirit that transcends time and space, Jesus’ promise, and the work of evil spirits

(1) As a result, churches throughout the whole world are losing to the Halloween festival

(2) As a result, they knelt before the 3 organizations that believe in Satan and demons that transcend time and space and carry out spirit-contact movements

3) But those who believed that the power of the Triune God and the power of the Holy Spirit are working precisely, transcending time and space, conquered the world

(1) Mrs. Ahn Ei-sook – I can go even into fire, even into water. Because God is there too. Even when she became ill to the point of death, she was thankful that she would go to heaven, and she ended up being healed.

(2) Blind Crosby – I don’t need to open my eyes. Because God leads all my ways.

(3) David’s confession – The Lord is my shepherd, my king, my shield, my refuge.

▷ What Jesus said last was, “I will send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to you, and He will be with you, always, forever, with all, and work.” John 17:5 “I will be with you in the glory before the creation of the world that transcends time and space.” If you can enjoy this prayer, you can surely change the world.

(4) Three young adults – Even if He does not

3. From this time, the 7 journeys begin

1) The Triune God works in all of our lives and within you.

2) You will win in any situation (10 secrets).

3) You will not be shaken by any theory (10 footholds).

4) You can change any situation (9 flows).

5) It is okay no matter what problem comes (5 assurances).

6) There is a lifelong message (62 lives).

7) Then, the church, worship, and this time are the time of the power of the throne.

▣ Main_ What kind of blessing is the blessing that transcends time and space? (John 17:5)

1. This prayer that transcends time and space is ‘creative power.’ – Historical evidence

1) Evidence of the Egypt age – When they killed the infants of Israel, God worked with power that transcends time and space. If it is God’s plan and will, the miracles of Egypt and the miracle of the Red Sea are possible.

2) Evidence of the Philistine age – David, who brought down Goliath, believed that God’s power is creative and is power that transcends time and space.

3) Evidence of the King Ahab age

4) Evidence of the Babylon age

▷ Prayer is the work of the Triune God that transcends time and space taking place. Because they do not believe this, pastors are worse than shamans, and church leaders are worse than people on the street doing Tojeong Bigyeol fortune-telling. Prayer has creative power that transcends time and space.

2. This prayer that transcends time and space is ‘the work happening now.’

1) Verse 1, Glorify the Father through the Son. If you do not know the word Christ now, you cannot glorify God.

2) Verse 2, Let them know that He gives eternal life and that there is authority to rule over all people.

3) Verse 11, Protect them by the name of the Father that You gave Me. – He gave us the name of the Lord and the name of Christ, the name of spiritual answers that destroys the spiritual world and transcends time and space

▷ Here the real and the fake are distinguished. In the name of Jesus Christ, darkness is destroyed, Satan is bound, and all people are bound to submit. It was a timetable when the disciples would have to run away, but He gave a tremendous message. It came to pass just like that, and these people conquered Rome.

4) Verse 12, Let not even one perish. That the Scripture might be fulfilled. If you are a child of God, not even one will perish. You will not be abandoned.

3. The prayer that enjoys the blessing of time and space is ‘transcending the eternal world.’

1) Verse 3, Eternal life is knowing God and knowing Christ.

2) If you know God and Christ, you have come to know what is eternal.

3) Verse 9, They are God’s. You must hold onto this covenant today

▷ How much you pray is also important, but you must believe this fact. Your prayer transcends time and space. Now the Triune God will invisibly protect all of you by the Spirit. He said, “I will not abandon even one. I will preserve you. What is mine is God’s, and I am God’s.”

▣ Conclusion_ When those who hold onto this covenant become one and pray, they will change the world (John 17:11).

1. The only church that became one, prayed, and evangelized the world was the early church

▷ It is okay no matter what situation you are in. The invisible spiritual power of the Triune God transcends time and space and is surely with you! This answer came first to Mark’s upper room!

2. This week’s prayer

1) Give our church the 24 system through which many 237 people can be healed.

2) Give us a church where all the saints come together with the Remnants, open the three-day weekend age, share life together, and learn.

▷ The devil is recklessly killing the future generations. What should small churches that cannot have a system do? Open RUTC. Many saints should join forces, take the children, go, and open the three-day weekend age.

3. It is to hold onto the covenant that transcends time and space, in which the Holy Spirit, the Helper, is surely with us invisibly and is changing the entire spiritual world, and to experience the 24 power.

Transcript

I know that our baptized members are studying right now. You must be certain about what answers you need to receive. Also, today is RU Sunday, which is important for America. How can I evangelize this America? Also, it is normal for your studies and work to be used for world evangelization, so how can that be done? That is the question.

▣ Introduction

1. On the timetable when He was soon to be executed on the cross, Jesus gave important ‘two messages.’

Today this text is a very important text. Because it is the time when Jesus must soon be executed on the cross. The disciples know. The disciples are now in a situation where they must run away. Or a situation where they truly must give up. At this time Jesus gave an important message. You must not miss it. From here on, the fake and the real will show, and whether I will receive answers or not comes out from here. What did He talk about? I’m telling you, there were two things Jesus told the disciples before He bore the cross.

1) He said He would send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to be with all of you (John 17:5)

What is one? “I will die on the cross and be resurrected. And I will go to heaven.” He said this, right? “That is more beneficial.” He said this. And He explained the reason. “If I go, I will send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to you, and He will be with you and with all forever.” He said this. And then looking at verse 5, “Glorify Me with the glory that we had together before the creation of the world.” That which is before the creation of the world came out. Now here, Jesus is giving a tremendous message. “The resurrected God will work in all people simultaneously through the Holy Spirit. So it is beneficial for Me to go. If I am here now in the body, isn’t it limited? But if I sit on the throne and work by the Holy Spirit, I will be with all people.”

2) He said that through prayer they would transcend time and space

And then He gave this message: “Your prayers and what remains ahead will transcend time and space.” Those who understand this word are real. Now those who do not understand this word are fake. They all end up running away. It’s a big deal. Because He was about to die. It is a very important message.

On September 18, 2005, a famous scholar named Robert Coleman (Robert E. Coleman) visited our Korea. At that time I invited him to the Immanuel Seoul Church service. You will remember. He is a world-renowned theologian. This person wrote a book about evangelism. He wrote a book called The Master Plan of Evangelism. So I read that book. I read it, and I sensed, ‘This person is not someone who goes out to the field and evangelizes,’ but he wrote so very well. It became a world-famous book. But what is the most important word in this person’s The Master Plan of Evangelism? It is, “He is with all the saints invisibly by the Holy Spirit.” He explained it strongly like that.

2. If you can hold onto this covenant and enjoy prayer, you will evangelize the world.

Now if you can hold onto this covenant, you will do world evangelization.

1) People who do not understand Jesus’ message at all

(1) The people of that time who did not understand and mostly ran away

What on earth is this talking about? There are so many people who just don’t understand. So most of them ran away.

(2) The Jewish leaders who dismissed it as nonsensical, crazy talk

“Stop talking such nonsense.” The Jewish leaders said, “That man picks out only nonsensical things to say.” It’s the same even now. If I talk about this, ordinary politicians will look and say, “What is this man talking about right now?” Right? Because He spoke this tremendous message, the Jewish religious leaders looked at Jesus and said He was crazy, didn’t they?

(3) Their descendants were cursed for 2,000 years.

Their descendants were cursed for 2,000 years.

2) Christians who do not believe in the work of the Holy Spirit that transcends time and space, Jesus’ promise, and the work of evil spirits

The few who understood this conquered the world. How is it now? Do you understand? If this word does not strike you, it’s a big problem.

(1) As a result, churches throughout the whole world are losing to the Halloween festival

Halloween Day came, and many people died, there was an accident, and it’s still in an uproar now. There is something I want to tell Christians and Remnants. I have no intention of talking about that incident. Halloween Day is demonic activity that began 2,500 years ago. It began in Ireland. The Celts started it. Demon-possessed people. Doing this, they went around the villages, and back then, during the festival, they killed one maiden each time. It’s terrifying, isn’t it? I’m telling you they were crazy. So in that village, if someone opposed, saying, “No,” they killed the entire village. At first it was like that. But it’s strange, isn’t it? This kept developing. And so the Catholic Church, which is good at business, grabbed it and grew it. The Catholic Church is really good at business. This crossed over to America and gained explosive popularity. The whole world is in an uproar now. This is completely demonic activity. Why do they go there? I just can’t understand it. They do not know at all the work of evil spirits that transcends time and space. How would they know? Everyone, Christians are the problem. The work of the Holy Spirit, what Jesus has promised now, right? They don’t believe it at all. They don’t believe, right? Churches all over the world are losing to the Halloween festival. Because they don’t believe.

(2) As a result, they knelt before the 3 organizations that believe in Satan and demons that transcend time and space and carry out spirit-contact movements

It’s not only that. Christianity has completely knelt before the 3 organizations doing spirit-contact movements, hasn’t it? What is it? They believe in Satan and demons that transcend time and space. These people have now taken over the world. The church does not believe the lesson Jesus gave last. They don’t even feel it, right? They don’t even know it is precious. Right?

3) But those who believed that the power of the Triune God and the power of the Holy Spirit are working precisely, transcending time and space, conquered the world

Everyone, you must hold onto this as covenant today. The power of the Triune God, the power of the Holy Spirit, is working precisely, transcending time and space. New believers, I hope you believe. Our baptized members. Those who believe this conquered the world.

(1) Mrs. Ahn Ei-sook

Among pastors and pastors’ wives, the one who bore the most fruit, though there may be many, is a pastor’s wife named Ahn Ei-sook. She gave the most influence. “I can go even into fire. I can go even into water. Because God is there too.” There’s no stopping her, this person. She got a fatal disease, and she sincerely gave so very much thanks before God. Why? Because she was going to heaven. She lived longer. She was so thankful that the disease ended up being healed. Everyone, you must believe this covenant.

(2) Blind Crosby

Look at blind ‘Crosby,’ who gave the most influence in the world. “I no longer need to open my eyes. Because God leads all my ways.” There’s no stopping her, this person. Right?

(3) David’s confession

“The Lord is my shepherd. The Lord is my king. The Lord is my shield. The Lord is my refuge.” He left the most answers. It is David. Right? You must believe this fact. People don’t believe this. Jesus is now anxiously, to put it in our words, explaining continuously for several days. “Hey, don’t be troubled in your heart. You believe in God, right? Don’t be troubled. You believe in Me, right? Don’t be troubled. There is the background of heaven. Don’t be troubled.” And this is what He said: “I will send the Holy Spirit, the Helper, to you, and He will be with you, always, forever, with all.” He talks about it again in today’s text. The glory before the creation of the world. What is this? It is something tremendous. “This glory before the creation of the world that transcends time and space. It will be with you.” Jesus is praying this now. You must hold the covenant well. If you can enjoy this prayer, you will surely change the world.

(4) Three young adults

“Even if He does not deliver us when we go into the fire,” this is the story of these three friends. Today, I’m telling you, Jesus is going to be executed on the cross next week. It is the last time now. Here, now, Jesus kept speaking about and teaching the prayer that they absolutely must know.

3. From this time, the 7 journeys begin

Everyone, from this time the 7 journeys begin. Right? This is everything.

1) The Triune God works in all of our lives and within you.

The Triune God works invisibly in all of our lives and within you. Right?

2) You will win in any situation (10 secrets).

Then you will win in any situation, the 10 secrets.

3) You will not be shaken by any theory (10 footholds).

You will not be shaken by any theory, the 10 footholds.

4) You can change any situation (9 flows).

You can change any situation, the 9 flows.

5) It is okay no matter what problem comes (5 assurances).

It is okay with any problem, the 5 assurances. Right?

6) There is a lifelong message (62 lives).

There is a life message in my lifetime, the 62 lives.

7) The church, worship, and this time are the time of the power of the throne.

Then this church, worship, and this time are the time of the power of the throne. That is the 7 journeys. You will see this. You must hold onto this firmly today. Many Israelites did not believe this.

▣ Main_ What kind of blessing is the blessing that transcends time and space? (John 17:5)

Now then, what kind of blessing was this blessing that transcends time and space?

1. This prayer that transcends time and space is ‘creative power.’ – Historical evidence

Looking again at what came out in verse 5 today, “Glorify Me with the glory that we had together before the creation of the world.” What is it? God’s prayer and message that transcends time and space is a completely creative message, that’s what I mean. There is historical evidence. That is what I am talking about now. I’m telling you, it is not talking about now; He began to talk now about what was before the creation of the world.

1) Evidence of the Egypt age

When Egypt killed the infants in order to eliminate the gospel, God worked with power that transcends time and space. Right? How could such a thing happen? How does the Red Sea part? If it is God’s plan, it parts. Isn’t that so? If there is God’s will, it parts.

When I first came here to our Yeongdo, I asked the kwonsas. “If we now do fasting prayer and all-night prayer, will the sea at Taejongdae part?” I asked during the all-night prayer time. “Will it part?” The answers were lukewarm. “Raise your hand if you think it will part.” When I said this, some people raised their hands. “Raise your hand if you think it won’t part, that even if we really pray in faith, Taejongdae won’t part.” Then no one raised their hand. They weren’t confident. I said, “I firmly believe that no matter how much we pray in faith, the sea at Taejongdae will not part.” Why? There’s no reason for it to part. Right? Why would the sea part? Unless it’s to give the black porgy a hard time. The Red Sea had a reason to part. Right?

For those who believe with God’s absolute power, things like this happen.

2) Evidence of the Philistine age

Look again. The Philistines tried to eliminate Israel. This time they weren’t trying to wage a war. What did Goliath come and say? It’s a waste of time, so there’s no need to fight, he says. “Just one person who can beat me, come out. If I lose, we will all become your servants. If you can’t beat me, all Israel becomes our servants.” He came out staking it like this, didn’t he? Amazing, isn’t it? Because he was so confident in his own strength, he said if anyone can fight and beat me, come out. David ran out there. It’s an astonishing thing. If you listen to David’s confession, he made an amazing confession. It’s the same story.

God’s power is creative and is power that transcends time and space. You must believe. Jesus is explaining that now.

3) Evidence of the King Ahab age

Everyone, look at the King Ahab age.

4) Evidence of the Babylon age

They went to Babylon, and again the time of being annihilated came, didn’t it?

2. This prayer that transcends time and space is ‘the work happening now.’

Everyone, it’s because you don’t know prayer. Prayer is the work of the Triune God that transcends time and space taking place, that’s what I mean. Because they don’t believe this, pastors have less power than shamans. They’re worse than shamans, aren’t they? Right? Because they don’t believe this, church leaders who have attended church for a long time are worse than people on the street doing Tojeong Bigyeol fortune-telling. Does that make sense? Prayer is tremendous, everyone. It has creative power that transcends time and space, that’s what I mean. This is the second. Today He talked about not just the creative degree that transcends time and space, but a historical message happening now.

1) Verse 1, Glorify the Father through the Son. If you do not know the word Christ now, you cannot glorify God.

What did He explain? In verse 1, “Glorify the Father through the Son.” Now if you don’t know the word Christ, you cannot glorify God.

2) Verse 2, Let them know that He gives eternal life and that there is authority to rule over all people.

In verse 2, “Let them know that there is authority to give eternal life and to rule over all people.” Does that make sense? “Let them know that there is authority to rule over all people.”

3) Verse 11, Protect them by the name of the Father that You gave Me.

And He prayed a future prayer that would surely win, and what does verse 11 say? He said a very important word. “I will no longer be in the world. Protect them by the name of the Father that You gave Me.” Everyone, He gave us “the name of the Lord, the name of Christ,” that’s what I’m saying. You may not believe this at all, but it is the name that destroys the spiritual world and in which spiritual answers transcending all time and space take place, that’s what I mean. Here the fake and the real are distinguished. There’s nothing else. “Jesus is the Christ.” Even the devil knows. Who doesn’t know that? The devil knows it better. Right? The devil knows better that if you know Christ correctly, it will be a big deal for him. That’s why he interferes. That’s why he captured the churches of the world. This Satan. The church has no power at all, right? It doesn’t make sense. Today, everyone, you must hold onto this covenant firmly and take strength. He gave ‘that name,’ that’s it. He is explaining this now. I am certain. In the name of Jesus Christ, darkness is bound to be destroyed. In the name of Jesus Christ, Satan is bound to be bound. He said that in the name of Jesus all things are bound to submit. It’s clear. He is saying He gives this.

The disciples are now in a situation where they must run away, but He gave a tremendous message. It came to pass just like that, didn’t it? We have the evidence. It came to pass just like that. These people conquered Rome, didn’t they? Right? Did mighty Rome conquer the church? Or did the church conquer Rome? The church conquered Rome.

4) Verse 12, Let not even one perish. That the Scripture might be fulfilled. If you are a child of God, not even one will perish. You will not be abandoned.

Looking at verse 12, “Let not even one perish.” And He said, “That the Scripture might be fulfilled.” The Word says so. If you are truly a child of God, not even one will perish. You will not be abandoned. You must firmly hold this covenant.

3. The prayer that enjoys the blessing of time and space is ‘transcending the eternal world.’

What is more important is the third. Not only the historical things before the creation of the world, but now. And not only that. He is saying to enjoy through prayer the blessing of time and space that transcends the world of eternity.

1) Verse 3, Eternal life is knowing God and knowing Christ.

He said, “Eternal life is knowing God and knowing Christ.” It came out like that in verse 3 today.

2) If you know God and Christ, you have come to know what is eternal.

If you know God, you will come to know what is eternal. If you know Christ, you will know what is eternal. He is giving this message, in the last time.

3) Verse 9, They are God’s. You must hold onto this covenant today

And what did He say toward the disciples, toward you? He said, “They are God’s.” He gave a tremendous message. Today you must firmly hold this as covenant.

So how much you pray is important too, but more important than that is that you must believe this fact. Because they don’t believe. The Jews. “No, you are saved only by keeping all the law.” The Jews. They don’t even know the law; they don’t know the law. If you truly know the law, you come to know that you are a sinner. Right. If you truly know the law, you need Christ. These people don’t even know the law. And yet they say, “You are saved by keeping all the law.” And they rejected Christ. They don’t even know what original sin is. How can they be saved? They don’t know what original sin is. Everyone, keeping the Sabbath wrongly is not the sin; leaving God is original sin, that’s what I mean. Many world-renowned scholars and leaders today are like that, aren’t they? They don’t even know what Satan is. They don’t even know he exists. Meanwhile, this Satan has completely taken over America. The New Age team even established a Satan church. A church named Satan Church. Now it’s coming out like that. Now it’s coming out openly. “We worship Satan.” This is how it’s coming out now, the New Age. Right. They made things like Halloween Day and hold demon festivals; it has been revealed like this. For businesspeople, as long as it makes money, it’s fine. They spread it all over the world. Because it sells. I don’t know why they flock there like that. Whose leading is it? The various things that have happened in the nation now, I don’t want to talk about that. If you really want to live, what must you do?

I don’t understand. In the old days, it’s been a long time. Japanese women flocked to Korea. I asked why they came, and there’s the Bae Yong-joon statue, you know. The one they made. They said they come to take pictures there. ‘Wow.’ I’m telling you they flocked. Even funnier. Half were grandmothers. Oh my, it was funny. ‘Amazing.’ I wondered whether they had nothing better to do. They’re not even meeting Bae Yong-joon. I’m telling you Japanese women flock to some place, a filming location where a Bae Yong-joon figure stands, to cling to it and take pictures.

Halloween Day, that’s a demon festival. Why do they flock there like that? I’m telling you it’s ridiculous. What do politicians know? They don’t even know what day it is. They don’t even know what activity it is. It’s because the churches have not opened their eyes. You must pray. Your prayer can transcend time and space. Jesus is saying that. Now God will invisibly protect all of you by the Spirit. Jesus is giving this explanation now. In the text He even says, “I will not abandon even one. I will preserve you.” Even, “What is mine is God’s, and I am God’s.” In the midst of speaking various things, He is doing something very important.

▣ Conclusion_ When those who hold onto this covenant become one and pray, they will change the world (John 17:11).

And in the latter half of verse 11, “Make them one.” It is Jesus’ prayer. When you, those who hold this covenant, begin to pray, the world will be changed.

1. The only church that became one, prayed, and evangelized the world was the early church

“Make them one.” The only church that became one and prayed was the Mark’s upper room church, and they changed the world. This is not something to pray only this week; you must always do it. Right? It’s okay no matter what situation you are in. The spiritual power of this Triune God transcends time and space and is surely with you, that’s it. So this answer first began to be fulfilled in Mark’s upper room.

2. This week’s prayer

As I looked at this, I prayed such a prayer this week.

1) Give our church the 24 system through which many 237 people can be healed.

“God, give our church the 24 system so that truly many 237 people can be healed and know this answer. There is no other way than this.”

2) Give us a church where all the saints come together with the Remnants, open the three-day weekend age, share life together, and learn.

“Give us a church where all the saints come together with the Remnants and can spend the three-day weekend age, can live life, can learn.” You may not believe it, but big trouble will come in the future. What happened in Itaewon now is a sign (Sign). The problem is not that, I’m saying. They don’t know where to go and why. They don’t know why they shouldn’t do drugs, or why they should. There’s lots of news that there were people doing drugs there, right? There certainly were. There were. Children who went abroad to study must be careful. There are drugs in snacks and in candy. Like this, throughout the whole world, it’s common. This is just killing. This devil, I’m telling you, is recklessly killing the future generations, right now.

“God, give our church the 24 system so that 237 can come, be healed, and become the Summit movement.” While praying that prayer, what thought suddenly came to me this week: ‘Our church is fine, our church, you are doing it like this, but what about small churches?’ I mean, all Remnants are precious, but what about the Remnants of small churches that cannot have such a system? So last week I said this. Open RUTC. Open RUTC so that many churches can go and open the three-day weekend age. Isn’t that why it was made? Churches whose circumstances are a little lacking, don’t be discouraged, and also join forces among several churches and take the children. Go to RUTC, everyone; the members of small churches should all go, open the three-day weekend age, truly train them, and receive grace. This opportunity given to you is the same as now. Don’t miss it.

3. It is to hold onto the covenant that transcends time and space, in which the Holy Spirit, the Helper, is surely with us invisibly and is changing the entire spiritual world, and to experience the 24 power.

As this covenant was confirmed, I changed everything. I decided not to do fasting prayer. Why? If it’s absolutely necessary I’ll do it, but I decided not to. Special prayer, there is none. Since holding onto this covenant, I decided to do 24. I decided to do 24 unconditionally. It may be hard for you, but it’s easy for me. Why? Because I always have to prepare messages, I have to do 24. It’s not preparing for 24. It’s experiencing this power of 24. What will happen in the future? God will do that. You must preciously hold this as covenant today. The Holy Spirit, the Helper, invisibly. It must not be visible. That is fake. He is surely with you invisibly and changes the entire spiritual world, that’s it. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that you will start this prayer from today and be victorious. Let us pray.

Prayer

God, thank You. Thank You for letting us know the mystery of God that the world does not know. Let us enjoy the true gospel. Let us become true children of God. Let us save the world as the true church. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Summary

High school seniors do not need to be pressed down by exams, because now is the beginning. When preparing for exams, pray comfortably and breathe slowly. Otherwise, you will fall into fantasies and worries. When you meet patients, you must first teach them, along with receiving Christ, to pray comfortably. Praying is something that can move everything.

▷ There will be persecution. But be of good courage. I have overcome the world.

▣ Introduction_ Who is Jesus? (verse 27) – Before healing, there is a healing as important as healing.

1. God – In order to save us, God showed God through Jesus.
1) Creator (John 1:1-14) – The Word is God. The Word was with Him. All things were created through Him.

1. What must be healed?
1) My soul seized in Genesis 3:4-5 must be healed.
2) The thoughts seized in Genesis 6:4-5 must be healed.

2. There must be 24 in the church
3. It must be in the field

Transcript

Right now our high school seniors are in a time when preparing for exams is hard. Today I gave a brief message to those students. I think other high school students should also take it as reference. It is an important time, but you do not need to be pressed down in your self-esteem or other things because of taking exams. Because now is the beginning. While you take exams, pray a little comfortably. It will be a great help.

Right now, when you are listening to the message or when you pray, you must do it while enjoying that it is a time when tremendous answers come. When we first think like this, we become blank like this, right? If you just keep thinking that thought on and on, sometimes you’ll go, “Huh?” Some people, even while riding in a car, fall into thought like this and then, “Uh,” get startled and stand up. It helps a little, but you can suffer a great deal of loss.

Remnants should do this their whole lives, but when you study for exams, just pray comfortably and breathe slowly. Otherwise, you keep falling into fantasies. You keep falling into worry. Also, people on our healing teams like Deaconess Lee Suk-hee meet many patients, and once you have delivered the gospel, you must first teach them, together with the gospel, to pray, to pray comfortably.

Among many people, even doctors may not know well about prayer. They may not know. In my case, it’s not that I do this once in a while; I pray almost 24, breathing slowly like this. Then words come out that you can’t understand, and it can be a little excessive. Because I do it all day long. Excessive means doing it too deeply or holding it too long, like that. For you who never do it, there’s no problem at all, but for me who always does it, it shows. So a little, well, the nose gets sore or the ears get sore, or a joint somewhere hurts a little, cases like these come. Once I prayed intensely, and when I got up in the morning, my joint hurt so much I couldn’t walk. So I thought, “I have to hold a conference today……” So I went to the hospital. This doctor had been practicing for a long time. He couldn’t understand what I was saying. When I said, “I’m an expert in praying and breathing, and I did it a little intensely so a problem came to my foot,” he said, “Oh, how could that be?” and “That’s gout.” “No, it’s not, I just need to go hold a conference, so please just make the pain subside.” I said it like this. Later this man got really angry. “It’s gout,” he said to me. I said, “No, it isn’t.” Then maybe he felt sorry himself, he spoke a little apologetically. And so, well, it disappeared in six hours. They don’t know well. They don’t know. When pilgrims went on long pilgrimages, they prayed and breathed long like this, like this. It started from our Christianity, actually. So in the case of the deaconess, when you meet patients, they received salvation along with receiving Christ, receiving the gospel, right? Then you must teach them prayer first of all.

Be of Good Courage; I Have Overcome the World

Now, to you who must heal and to us who will receive healing, Jesus spoke like this. “There will be persecution, a lot. But be of good courage. I have overcome the world.” There are many people who usually worship all day on Sunday. If you worship in prayer like this, in that prayer I’m talking about, truly tremendous healing and answers will come. There are many things like depression and so on, right? Medically there may be illness, but at the start, there is a lack of strength in the brain. That’s why it can’t help but come. So praying like this is actually everything. It’s just that people don’t know. Praying can move everything. Now, before healing, there is a healing as important as healing.

▣ Introduction_ Jesus?

Today in verse 27 it says this: “This is because you loved Me and believed that I came from God, so the Father Himself loves you.” That’s how it’s written. The question is who Jesus is. This was the question of the Jews who were destroyed for 2,000 years. History is this question. In Egypt, “What on earth is the blood sacrifice?” they said, right? The Jews didn’t know who on earth Jesus was. They were ruined for 2,000 years. After that, world evangelization happened. So from then on, starting with Rome, all the great powers of Europe, “Who is Jesus?” “No.” “Yes.” A fight broke out. Simply put, “The old church is right,” or “The Protestant church is right.” It was this war. Who on earth is Jesus? The Bible is explaining this now. What does it explain today, in the Bible?

1. God

He is God who has existed from long ago. What is more important than “He is God who has existed for a long time”? It’s that in order to save us, God showed God through Jesus, that’s what I’m saying. That’s the accurate statement. So, because they didn’t know God’s love, when the Jews heard it they felt offended.

1) Creator (John 1:1-14)

He is God the Creator. They couldn’t understand it at all, right? It’s in the Gospel of John. “In the beginning was the Word. The Word was God. The Word was with Him.” Who is He? Jesus. “All things were created through Him.” The Jews heard it and said, “Is He crazy?” right? Because they couldn’t understand. They couldn’t understand because they understood this statement as “Jesus is God.” Jesus explained. “God revealed God through Jesus. Therefore He is God.” The reason is to save. He explained the reason, right?

2) John 3:16

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life.” It’s not just that, right?

3) John 8:44

John chapter 8 verse 44, freedom from the devil. Your father the devil, He set you free from there. Don’t take it badly; you must listen well. No matter how well you studied, later on spiritual problems come. You shouldn’t keep trying to avoid it or feel offended. Even if you’ve succeeded tremendously, I’m telling you, spiritual problems come. People say, “Oh, what are spiritual problems?” but no. You must not be deceived. Jesus spoke very offensively, right? “Your father the devil, a liar, a murderer.” This is trying to destroy people. So God came Himself. That’s the explanation.

2. Christ (Anointed)

Who on earth is Jesus? This One came as the Christ, that’s what I’m saying. He is God, but it is resolved only when He comes as the Christ. He came as King, Prophet, and Priest, that’s what I’m saying. So you must surely remember; I’ll say it once more.

1) Christ before the ages

He is the Christ who existed before the ages, through whom your past curse is completely removed, that’s what I’m saying. Long ago, on the day they applied the lamb’s blood, they came out. It’s impossible to understand, right? You must believe this. If you just know one thing, you’ll understand. All darkness, the darkness, I’m telling you, will completely capture and kill even your children. The Bible records it like that. God is saying, come out without conditions. Since you can’t come out, He’ll give you a way to come out. Come out. If you were God, you would do the same. Right? Why should humans be left to be deceived by Satan and destroyed? It’s God rescuing them. There are no conditions. If conditions are attached, you can’t come out.

2) Incarnate Christ

So God who put on flesh came, that’s what I’m saying. The Jews couldn’t understand this statement. How many intellectuals today would hear this and say “Amen”? I think it’s worth staking my life on this, but how many intellectuals see it that way, that’s what I’m saying. So they leave. Later they resent the church and leave. With all the spiritual problems coming. It can’t be helped. They attended the church building; they didn’t attend church. It’s heartbreaking. This One showed the evidence.

3) Resurrected Christ

As evidence that He is the Christ, He rose. As the firstfruits. So pray in that name. Don’t I really tell you? If this (resurrected Christ) isn’t believed, it’s a problem. Really, go find demon-possessed people and evangelize just 10. Try it. Especially pastors, you’ve never once done it, right? I’m telling you, go find demon-possessed fortune-tellers and evangelize just 10. They tremble before the name of Jesus Christ. So they know right away that you believe. Demon-possessed people are possessed by demons, right? They know. They fear Him most. Christ.

4) Christ of the Second Coming

This One is the Christ who will come as the Lord of the Second Coming, that’s what I’m saying. What does this mean? He has completely guaranteed even your future.

5) Christ who raises again

Many people will live again. With eternal resurrection, He raises them in bodies that go to hell or to heaven. He is the Christ who is the master of this, that’s what I’m saying. The Gospel of John is explaining this now, and it is tremendous. If you truly hear this Word, and actually believe and just say “Amen,” works will happen.

3. Immanuel

He explained again. Who is Jesus? He is God and came as the Christ, and (came) as Immanuel. He didn’t just teach something and leave, but came as Immanuel. Today this is verses 27, 32, and 33, and especially in verse 27 He said it, right? Looking again, “In that day you will save in My name.” Also in verse 27, “This is because you loved Me and believed that I came from God, so the Father Himself loves you. I came out from My Father and came into the world, and again I leave the world and go to the Father.” Truly difficult words. It will be impossible to understand. That means they haven’t received salvation.

Why? There’s no reason to understand either. Right? Why would someone who hasn’t been saved need to understand Jesus? Right? No, there’s no reason for the devil’s children to understand Jesus. That’s why the world keeps getting harder. He said, I will be with you.

1) Holy Trinity

Through the word Christ, the Triune God is with us. Through that word.

2) Secret

So He gave us the secret to overcome anything, any problem.

3) Foothold

You absolutely don’t have to be shaken by people’s words. He gave a sure foothold.

4) Assurance

And He gave sure answers. Five assurances.

5) Flow

What’s there? He gave the nine keys of flow that completely change the flow.

6) Lifetime

It’s not just that. He said He would be with us for a lifetime, forever.

7) Throne

Everyone, today is the very, the church is the very, now is the very place of enjoying the blessing of the throne. He said He would be with us like this and went. Today, for those doing healing ministry, it would be good to have the other person receive Jesus and give this explanation (Introduction), right? And just make it so they can pray.

[ Intercessory Prayer ]

They won’t be able to pray. That’s why your intercessory prayer is needed. This works too. Lazarus. He can’t hear, because he was dead. So Martha’s and Mary’s prayer, their faith, was needed. The Gospel of John is explaining that.

▣ Main

Now then, how is He with us now? Today you must quickly hold on to the covenant.

1. What

What must be healed?

1) Genesis 3:4-5 (soul)

My soul seized in Genesis chapter 3 verses 4 and 5 must be healed. That’s why Christ came.

2) Genesis 6:4-5 (thought)

My life and thoughts completely seized in Genesis chapter 6 verses 4 and 5 must be healed.

3) Genesis 11:1-8 (life)

Genesis chapter 11 verses 1 to 8, my life inside the Tower of Babel that will completely collapse must come out. It’s tremendous. Everyone, the moment you hold on to this covenant now, the kingdom of God is coming, being fulfilled, that’s what I’m saying. Those who are sick, put this before you and pray the covenant.

2. How?

How, you ask? This appeared in today’s text. How is it shown in the text?

1) John 16:13

It’s John chapter 16 verse 13. What is explained? If you hold this covenant and pray, “He will guide you into all truth.” He explained. And He promised, “You will come to know for yourself what God has spoken.” It’s not just that.

2) John 16:24

He spoke in chapter 16 verse 24. What did He say? “Now I will make known to you everything I have said.”

3) John 16:33 (Holy Spirit)

And then He spoke today. “Be of good courage. I have overcome the world.” What is the great secret here? “Invisibly, through the Holy Spirit, I will surely be with you.” From then, healing happens. From this point, answers and power come out. You don’t even need to try to receive answers for something. If this (Holy Spirit) is there, works will happen. In a sense, you don’t even need to worry, “What will happen to me in the future?” “The Holy Spirit will make you realize. Be of good courage. I have overcome the world.” He gave this answer.

3. Mission

And then what? He gave another mission. It didn’t end at this. What mission did He give? It appears in today’s text.

1) John 16:1- Remember

“Much persecution will also arise.” Today in John chapter 16 verse 1 it explains on and on. Much persecution will arise, and what does verse 4 say? “But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.” What happens by remembering? “That I was with you; now I go to Him who sent Me, and none of you asks Me where I am going; but because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.” But, and then the explanation comes out.

2) Benefit (all)

In verse 7, “I tell you the truth, it is to your great benefit that I go away.” How would you understand this? “If I go away, I will be with all of you who believe through the Holy Spirit the Counselor.” You must believe it. When you pray, if the Holy Spirit works on the sick, they are healed.

3) John 16:11-14 (prince of the world)

And He spoke. John chapter 16 verses 11, 14. What is it? The prince of the world, Satan, right? Tear this down. He said He would give the power to do so. The Holy Spirit not only works within me, but now from here on will also work on the sick in the field, that’s what I’m saying. I hope you begin this prayer.

▣ Conclusion

[ Three Courtyards 24 ]

In the most important part, you must think about the most important thing in healing. It’s the three courtyards. This is the secret of healing. It’s the 24 system of the three courtyards. What are the three courtyards? The courtyard of 24 prayer where the sick can gather. And the courtyard of children where Remnants can gather. The courtyard of all nations where Gentiles can gather.

1. Within me

We do this (three courtyards) 24, and it must first be made within me. This is prayer. Try always doing this prayer. Answers will just come. You don’t need to worry at all. Since I truly received answers, I have never prayed asking for answers. They just come. When they come, you receive them, and if they don’t come, you don’t, that’s how it is. Isn’t it? If you are enjoying this blessing (Main), this itself is the answer, so what more. So, rather, the pastors and secretaries around me know. For us, so many things come that we try not to receive them. Some people try hard to receive, right? “Ah, we don’t receive.” If I tried to explain it all, I couldn’t even put it into words. We don’t receive.

2. In the church

It must be in the church. It must be within me, and in our church, 24. Just wait and see. Later, when you realize it, won’t you feel a little sorry? Realizing a little in advance is called faith. People are always like that, right? If they just realized in advance, that would do, but later they get badly beaten up, and only then receive some answers and say, “Thank you.” There are many people like that. Someone who never prayed in his life, I’m telling you, got hit by a bus and flew about 50 meters, and from then he started praying. Then that person has to get hit every day. You must realize in advance.

3. In the field

Three courtyards in the field. This must be there for healing to happen. You must surely remember.

It must be in my heart, within me, and visibly in our church, and this (three courtyards) must be in the field. In a sense, it’s good to make facilities in the field, but you don’t have to. You just need such people.

An urgent age of healing has come. Today’s worship is surely not just a worship, but very important; Jesus said, “Be of good courage. Do not be afraid.” That’s what I’m saying. “I have overcome the world.” It’s not unconditionally “Be of good courage”; He told all the content, right?

During this week, much grace is grace, but I bless you in the name of Jesus that there will be works of healing. Let us pray.

Prayer

We thank God. Let today be a time of answers in which we enjoy the greatest secret the Lord spoke. There are many to heal; let us restore that mission. Let a spiritual work happen in which we hold on to this covenant and truly enjoy it. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.”
— Genesis 13:18 —

Praise
“God Will Take Care of You“

Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
