Praise
It Is Well with My Soul
by Horatio Gates Spafford (1873)

1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul!”

It is well with my soul!
It is well, it is well with my soul!

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

3 My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought—
My sin, not in part, but the whole,
Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more;
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4 For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live;
If dark hours about me shall roll,
No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life
Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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


Scripture Reading
1 Chronicles 29:10-14

David praised the Lord in the presence of the whole assembly, saying,

“Praise be to you, Lord,
    the God of our father Israel,
    from everlasting to everlasting.
11 Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
    and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
    for everything in heaven and earth is yours.
Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
    you are exalted as head over all.
12 Wealth and honor come from you;
    you are the ruler of all things.
In your hands are strength and power
    to exalt and give strength to all.
13 Now, our God, we give you thanks,
    and praise your glorious name.

14 “But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to give as generously as this? Everything comes from you, and we have given you only what comes from your hand.


Message
The Answer You Will First Receive
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

How can we receive answers? How should we begin?
We must always see the answers we have already received, the answers we are receiving now, and the eternal answers. This is the principle of a person of prayer.

▣ Introduction – The answers already received
1. Tower of the Throne (Platform) – David first established the tower of the throne through prayer. When it became the platform, all things of God came to him (Psalm 17:3, “The Lord is my tower, refuge, and fortress”).
2 Light of the Throne (Watchtower) – A watchtower capable of shining the light of the throne was built.
3. Transcendence of Time and Space (Antenna) – By continuously enjoying prayer that transcends time and space, it became an antenna.
4. Watchman (Unprecedented-and-never-again) – Wherever he went, he played the role of a watchman and received unprecedented answers.
5. Monument (Footsteps) – He left many traces by receiving answers that established monuments that saved many people.
▷ This is the most important message given in the Bible. First, have your Summit Time.

▣ Main – Centered on the Tabernacle and the Temple (Natural, Inevitable, Absolute)

[Three things now]
The title of building the temple has come up. In the past, our ancestors walked through the wilderness centered on the tabernacle. Now, it is inevitable that we must move toward being centered on the temple, where disciples from all over the world are called and commissioned. The principle of receiving prayer answers—rightful, necessary, and absolute—becomes visible. Then, the three answers to be received now become visible.

 1. Age – One opportunity
1) 1 Samuel 1:9-11 Samuel, born as a Nazirite.
2) 1 Samuel 7:1-15 Samuel, the key figure who led the Mizpah Movement.
3) 1 Samuel 16:1-13 Samuel came and promised that David would become king and anointed him. David held onto the ark of the covenant and the temple as an opportunity of the age. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” (1 Samuel 16:13)

2. Opportunity in the Field
1) Psalm 78:70-72 While he was a shepherd, he prayed and built up his strength. He memorized the Word, wrote Psalms, practiced musical instruments, and honed his skills in tending sheep.
2) 1 Samuel 17:1-47 The invasion of Goliath was an opportunity for David. He defeated him immediately.
3) Psalm 23:1-6 Difficulties were an opportunity to gather commanders and soldiers.

3. Eternal Opportunity
1) 1 Samuel 16:13 The moment he accurately held onto the covenant, “the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him.”
2) Song of Songs 4:1-5 A thousand bartizans – He firmly established the nation first and set up places of prayer everywhere.
3) 1 Chronicles 29:10-14 All the people rallied to prepare for the temple.

▣ Conclusion – Spiritual Eyes
What many people saw as problems and difficulties, David saw as answers and opportunities. It is a matter of standing on man’s side or God’s side. Are you falling into problems or standing before the answer? Are you in conflict or in renewal? Are you falling into crises or seizing them as opportunities? The building of the temple is a blessing that may or may not happen in a lifetime.

Psalm 5:3 David prayed to God in the morning. “In the morning, you hear my voice.”
Psalm 17:3 “You visited me in the night.”
Psalm 23:1 “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing.”

Temple – Bartizan A tower called the temple must be established within me, in my work, in my life, and in my finances
Way – Throne The journey of the throne must be visible on the path I walk.
Monument – Work A work that could become a monument must be visible on the path I walk.

On Christ, the Solid Rock
Written by Edward Mote (1834)

1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

2 When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

3 His oath, his covenant, his blood
Supports me in the ‘whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

4 When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne


Scripture Reading
Ruth 1:15-18

“Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her.” 16 But Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.” 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.


Special Music
In Christ Alone
Written by Adrienne Camp and Geoff Moore

In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live, I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand


Message
There Is No Failure for God
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su

▣ Introduction — Satan’s Deception

1. The Reality of the Nephilim
1) Nations and people under the influence of the Nephilim
2) John 8:44 — “Father of lies,” Satan’s purpose — to kill
3) 1 Corinthians 10:20 — Idolatry is the worship of demons

2. The 12 deceptions of Satan
1) The beginning of the problem — and it continues even now.
(1) “You will be like God.” (Genesis 3)
(2) Nephilim — At first, power is gained but ultimately leads to destruction. (Genesis 6)
(3) Tower of Babel — “You can succeed.” But in the end, it collapses. (Genesis 11)
2) Struggles
(1) Seek out shamans (Acts 13)
(2) Seek out fortune-telling possessed by demons (Acts 16)
(3) Make shrines and serve them (Acts 19)
3) The six states of the unbeliever
(1) Master — Satan
(2) Idolatry
(3) Mental problems
(4) Physical problems
(5) Generational curses
(6) Eternal background — Hell (Matthew 25:41)

3. Background of today’s passage
1) Moab — A nation that attacked Israel and worshiped the god Chemosh
2) Naomi became a widow in the land of Moab along with her two daughters-in-law
3) The decision of Naomi and Ruth

▣ Main — The Decision: “Your God will be my God”
1. The God of the covenant who changes all my past
1) A turning point that changes past, present, and future.
2) You must completely leave the past behind.
3) Even if evil spirits come back again, there is nothing to fear. Make the decision as a child of God.
4) “The God of the covenant who changes all my past — that God is my God.”

2. The God of creation who will renew me
1) A turning point changed by God’s power.
2) The Three Feasts
3) The content of the covenant inside the Ark of the Covenant
4) Tabernacle-centered life
▷ “Believe that you have received what you asked for.” Firmly hold onto God’s Word now.

3. The Eternal God
1) A turning point that passes world evangelization to the next generation.
2) Rahab the prostitute who entered Canaan by holding onto the covenant, and Salmon’s son Boaz
3) Ruth who held onto the covenant and Boaz’s son Obed — grandson Jesse — Jesse’s son David
4) Jesus, descendant of David
▷ Escape from deception that leads to destruction. Now hold onto the covenant and establish the bartizan of the Lord. Then the future will surely come.
Only by preaching the true gospel can people be liberated from the culture of darkness.
As long as there are evangelists who preach the true gospel and the church, our nation will not collapse.

▣ Conclusion

1. Do not be deceived — Present success and failure
1) God turned the move to Moab into world missions.
2) God brought Ruth as a missionary, restored the covenant, and raised up David.
3) God called me, once useless, and is using me as an evangelist.

2. What is the true answer?
1)The evangelism movement that blocks disaster and darkness
2) What seems possible without God cannot block disaster and darkness.
3) What many people call blessings are not true blessings.

End the past! Hold firmly onto the sure covenant today for the future of our next generation!

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Written by Don Besig and Nancy Price

1 Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

  And we will keep our faith alive,
  God will always be our guide.
  Through the darkest night, 
  We will see God’s light.
  We will keep our faith alive!

2 We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.


Benediction
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen.

The Love of God
by Frederick M. Lehman (1917)

1 The love of God is greater far
than tongue or pen can ever tell;
it goes beyond the highest star,
and reaches to the lowest hell;
the guilty pair, bowed down with care,
God gave His Son to win;
His erring child He reconciled,
and pardoned from his sin.

O love of God, how rich and pure!
How measureless and strong!
It shall forevermore endure:
the saints’ and angels’ song!

2 When years of time shall pass away
and earthly thrones and kingdoms fall,
when men who here refuse to pray,
on rocks and hills and mountains call,
God’s love so pure shall still endure,
all measureless and strong;
redeeming grace to Adam’s race—
the saints’ and angels’ song.

3 Could we with ink the ocean fill
and were the skies of parchment made,
were ev’ry stalk on earth a quill
and ev’ry man a scribe by trade,
to write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry;
nor could the scroll contain the whole,
tho’ stretched from sky to sky.


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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


Scripture Reading
Romans 16:25-27

Now to him who is able to establish you in accordance with my gospel, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past, 26 but now revealed and made known through the prophetic writings by the command of the eternal God, so that all the Gentiles might come to the obedience that comes from faith— 27 to the only wise God be glory forever through Jesus Christ! Amen.


Message: Pastor Ryu Kwang-Soo
The Time Schedule of 24, 25, and Eternity

※ What Paul did
Acts 1:3, Acts 19:8, Romans 16:25–27
Jesus explained the things of the kingdom of God for 40 days, and Paul understood and explained the kingdom of God for three months. He said God gives what was hidden before the ages and will last forever.
Healing of the Nephilim – Paul healed Nephilim diseases that even doctors could not heal.
Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8 – Paul entered the synagogue and explained what Christ, worship, and answers were.
Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24 – “You must also see Rome.” “You must testify also in Rome.” “You must stand before Caesar.”
To tell the Remnant what the timetable of “24, 25, Eternity” is, you must first enjoy it yourself.
Paul saw spiritual science. Seeing this, one must raise the Remnant.

▣ Introduction – What we must do first for the Remnant
1. Spiritual summit – First become the spiritual president (1 Samuel 16:13, Moses at Mount Horeb, 2 Kings 2:9)
2. Reason – If you go out without this strength, you will suffer your whole life; you will not endure.
3. Once you understand, world evangelization begins.
▷ Remnants, do not be deceived. Go with the power of prayer. Go with the power of the throne.

▣ Main – While the church is talking about physical matters, the Nephilim movement is arising.
1. Teach them to enjoy 24.
1) Prayer 300% – Bartizan (self), journey, guidepost (posterity)
2) Academics 300% preparation
3) Future 300% preparation

2. Teach them to wait for 25.
1) 7·7·7 – Wait for the watchtower, journey, and signpost to work in history.
2) Wait for the throne, kingdom, and works to be fulfilled.
3) Transcendence of time and space – Once you know prayer, you transcend time and space and understand the 237.
Unprecedented and never again – Unprecedented answers will come in your work and studies.

3. Teach them the eternal masterpiece.
1) Teach them to match with the 237.
2) Prepare them to match with the 5000 tribes.
3) Leave a monument. Cross the Jordan. Break down Jericho.
▷ When you go, the 5 powers are already there.

▣ Conclusion
1. Have summit time at least once a day. If you do only this, that’s the end.
2. If you prepare the summit vessel, God will fill it.
▷ When Joseph turned 30, he was called as prime minister. Prepare a large vessel.
3. Prepare the summit posture. You will become a summit.
▷ Remnants, do not be afraid. Do not envy the world. Do not look down on the world. You must carry this with you.

There Is Power in the Blood

1 Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

   There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
   In the blood of the Lamb;
   There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
   In the precious blood of the Lamb.

2 Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

3 Would you be whiter, yes brighter than snow?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

4 Would you do service for Jesus, your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.

How Can We Receive Answers to Prayer?

▣ Introduction – Experiencing Answered Prayer
1. 99% don’t receive answers to prayer – Life is difficult, it feels like a futile struggle, and there are unspeakable spiritual problems.

2. But those who have the power of prayer – How they interpret every situation changes, so the answers change. No matter where they are or what situation comes, it’s okay.

3. Israel continued to suffer under the Philistines because they didn’t believe in God’s promise.

4. Reasons prayers are not answered – Judges 21:25: When everyone does as they see fit, they fall into Genesis 3, 6, and 11.
1) The moment you think and worry without praying, you enter Genesis 3.
2) Evidence – Joseph’s brothers, the Israelites, and King Solomon acted according to their own thoughts; because they did not realize, Assyria and Babylon invaded.

5. The way to receive answers to prayer – “as God sees fit”
1) Prayer is a spiritual science.
2) You must see as God sees, seeking His will, what God desires, and through His perspective.
3) Just asking this one question can overturn the spiritual realm.

▣ Main Body
1. The prayer of one person who holds the covenant (God’s perspective, plan, absolute goal)
1) From the moment Joseph held onto the covenant of world evangelization, God’s work began – Joseph saw everything differently.
(1) Slave – the path to fulfilling God’s dream
(2) Prison – the path to success
(3) Governor – the path to world missions
2) Jochebed, who asked God’s plan during a crisis
3) Hannah, who saw the necessity of a Nazirite to testify of God’s work – Samuel (1 Samuel 3:19, 7:13–14, 16:13)
4) Isaiah, who realized this covenant, overturned Babylon
▷ When problems and answers come, we must ask God’s perspective.

2. The prayer of one person who knows God’s method
1) Centered on the three feasts –
(1) Passover (delivered from darkness through the blood of the Lamb),
(2) Feast of Ingathering (power of the throne),
(3) Pentecost (working of the Holy Spirit)
2) Centered on the tabernacle – 24-hour prayer (Daniel 6:10)
3) Centered on the Ark of the Covenant –
(1) The tablets of the Word (eternal),
(2) Jar of manna (life),
(3) Aaron’s budding staff (things that happen during worship and prayer)

3. The prayer of one person who knows the God-given background 
1) The throne – Build the bartizan of the throne. Go on that journey. Set up that guidepost.
2) The Kingdom of God – the first answer that comes
3) The works of the Kingdom of God

▣ Conclusion
1. Challenge the absolutely impossible. In an age of disaster, challenge the disasters to be removed. Prayer is about breaking the forces of darkness. Prayer is when the background of the throne comes upon you. Prayer is always answered. Rome was evangelized through the prayer of one person who held onto the gospel.

2. You must have the conviction that prayer changes the age. When you pray, the Seven Bartizans move. You can walk the journey of the throne. The guidepost of the throne is established.

3. Prayer is the start of receiving new strength and seeing God’s absolute plan.

Scripture Reading
Haggai 2:1-9

In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by the hand of Haggai the prophet: “Speak now to Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to all the remnant of the people, and say, ‘Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it not as nothing in your eyes? Yet now be strong, O Zerubbabel, declares the Lord. Be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest. Be strong, all you people of the land, declares the Lord. Work, for I am with you, declares the Lord of hosts, according to the covenant that I made with you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not. For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says the Lord of hosts. The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the Lord of hosts. The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, says the Lord of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, declares the Lord of hosts.’”


Message: Pastor Ryu Kwang-Soo
Those Who Pledged Their Lives

In the Bible, there were priests, prophets, and kings. But since those couldn’t bring the ultimate solution, God promised to send the true King, Prophet, and Priest. That is ‘the Christ.’ It is from here that the work of the Triune God begins to take place invisibly.

He first works by the power of the throne. The answer called ‘the kingdom of God’ begins to come. Visible answers start from this point on. The work of the kingdom of God—constantly praying for this is the life of faith. It is about enjoying (24), waiting (25), and challenging (eternity—Go to all peoples, to the ends of the earth) this blessing.

Then comes the answer of transcendence of time and space (237 nations, 5000 people groups). What must be confirmed is the unprecedented-and-never-again answer given only to you. When you seek what is rightful, necessary, and absolute, you can see it clearly.

Then you come to discover the value worth staking your life on. Apart from the gospel, it is absolutely impossible. “Those who pledged their lives” – they are the ones who discovered the value worth staking their lives on.

▣ Introduction – Important biblical terms
1. The remnant – Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 10:20–23, Zechariah 8:12
2. Sojourners – Philippians 3:20, Hebrews 11:13: those whose citizenship is in heaven
3. The scattered ones – They were taken into the great empires. To them God commanded the rebuilding of the temple.

▷ It is about establishing the throne’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost that transcend time and space, and finding your mission (40 days). Pastors should form mission churches only for evangelism, while focusing on the covenant for 40 days.  The unprecedented-and-never-again answer will arise through the Word, becoming the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation (Acts 2:42). Then the Word will be fulfilled, and you will come to know the value worth staking your life on (Acts 2:46–47). The true answer of world evangelization begins from this point. Have Summit Time holding onto this covenant.

▣ Main
1. Babylon – Testimonies of those who staked their lives
1) The three young men
2) Daniel
3) Esther

2. Those who must stake their lives – the final opportunity
1) The Word came to Haggai.
2) Speak to Joshua.
3) Deliver it to the remnant people (verse 2).
4) Tell Zerubbabel to be strong.
5) Speak to Joshua.

3. Those who will deliver it – We must leave behind to the next generation the mission to block the global spiritual disaster.
1) Is there anyone who saw the former temple?
2) Just as My Spirit was with you when you came out of Egypt, I will continue to be with you, so do not be afraid (verse 5).
3) I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the nations.

▣ Conclusion
1. “This is what the Lord says.”
2. “The glory of the latter temple will be greater than the former.”
3. The reason – the three courtyards that block the forces of darkness, the three-day weekend to save the next generation, the age of holy meditation to heal the world.

Genesis 13:18 (Abraham), the 7 Remnants (RT7), the Early Church, Paul, and the people of Romans 16 discovered the value worth staking their lives on. Now is the time to restore the strength that comes both spiritually and physically.

How Great Thou Art!

1 O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed:

Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
How great thou art! How great thou art!

2 When through the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur,
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze:

3 And when I think how God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burdens gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin:

4 When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation,
To take me home, what joy will fill my heart!
Then I will bow in humble adoration,
And there proclaim, my God, how great thou art!


Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

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


Scripture Reading
Joshua 14:6-15

Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of your children forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’

¹⁰ “Now then, just as the Lord promised, he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old! ¹¹ I am still as strong today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous to go out to battle now as I was then.
¹² Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day. You yourself heard then that the Anakites were there and their cities were large and fortified, but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”

¹³ Then Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephunneh and gave him Hebron as his inheritance. ¹⁴ So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly. ¹⁵ (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba after Arba, who was the greatest man among the Anakites.)

Then the land had rest from war.


Message: Pastor Ryu Kwang-Soo
The Unchanging Word – The Unchanging Disciple

▣ Introduction
1. One who has seen the Word and the power of God – Someone who has seen that although it is absolutely impossible, it is possible through God’s absolute plan.
2. One who knows that spiritual answers must come first
1) Knew that the presence of the Lord is the answer – the three feasts
2) Saw that after the covenant, God’s Kingdom and the works of God’s Kingdom come as answers.

※ Ask: What is the never-before-and-never-again reason God called me?
(1) Remnants – As you begin your life, what is the unprecedented and unrepeatable plan of God for me?
(2) Church officers – What is the unique plan God has given me in the remaining days of my life?
(3) New believers – Once you realize it quickly, works begin to take place.

▣ Main
1. Confirm!
1) Held onto the covenant of the past (v. 6): “Do you not know the word which the man of God Moses spoke to us, saying he would give us this land?”
2) Held onto today’s covenant (vv. 7–11): “I have come here now. Though I am eighty-five years old, I am still alive and healthy.”
3) Held onto the covenant of the future (v. 12): “If the Lord is with me, I will surely take possession of that land. If the Lord is with me, I will certainly take that land. Send me.”

2. Do not be deceived!
1) Saw the reality of Satan – While others were afraid, Caleb saw Satan’s reality when he saw the fortress of giants.
2) Saw that our life and future are within God’s sovereignty.
3) Saw the field where hearts melted – the true state of Satan’s kingdom

3. Be assured!
1) Exodus – Escape from darkness
2) The wilderness – Not suffering, but evidence
3) Conquest of Canaan – God’s absolute future (world evangelization)

※ Do not be discouraged. Hold onto the final, never-before-and-never-again covenant that has been given to you.

▣ Conclusion
Remnants must receive answers for world missions. In order to receive answers to the extent of saving the whole world by establishing the 3 courtyards, you must discover the never-before-and-never-again answer that God has given only to you.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!

1 Gathered here, within this place, we can share in God’s redeeming grace. There’s no room for doubt or fear; we can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day, we will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim, we will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, we will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

2 We will live as God has planned, though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see, but our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth; through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail for we know our God will prevail.


Benediction
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
