The Result of Faith and Unbelief

2026.06.14 District Message Week 24
「The Result of Faith and Unbelief」(Ge 14:1-24)

Genesis 14:1-24

01 At this time Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Kedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goyim
02 went to war against Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboyim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).
03 All these latter kings joined forces in the Valley of Siddim (that is, the Dead Sea).
04 For twelve years they had been subject to Kedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they rebelled.
05 In the fourteenth year, Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him went out and defeated the Rephaites in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzites in Ham, the Emites in Shaveh Kiriathaim
06 and the Horites in the hill country of Seir, as far as El Paran near the desert.
07 Then they turned back and went to En Mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and they conquered the whole territory of the Amalekites, as well as the Amorites who were living in Hazezon Tamar.
08 Then the kings of Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboyim and Bela (that is, Zoar) marched out and lined up for battle in the Valley of Siddim
09 against Kedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of Goyim, Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar—four kings against five.
10 Now the Valley of Siddim was full of tar pits, and when the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, some of the men fell into them and the rest fled to the hills.
11 The four kings seized all the goods of Sodom and Gomorrah and all their food; then they went away.
12 They also carried off Abram’s nephew Lot and his possessions, since he was living in Sodom.
13 A man who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now Abram was living near the great trees of Mamre the Amorite, a brother of Eshcol and Aner, all of whom were allied with Abram.
14 When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he called out the 318 trained men born in his household and went in pursuit as far as Dan.
15 During the night Abram divided his men to attack them and he routed them, pursuing them as far as Hobah, north of Damascus.
16 He recovered all the goods and brought back his relative Lot and his possessions, together with the women and the other people.
17 After Abram returned from defeating Kedorlaomer and the kings allied with him, the king of Sodom came out to meet him in the Valley of Shaveh (that is, the King’s Valley).
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine. He was priest of God Most High,
19 and he blessed Abram, saying, “Blessed be Abram by God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth.
20 And praise be to God Most High, who delivered your enemies into your hand.” Then Abram gave him a tenth of everything.
21 The king of Sodom said to Abram, “Give me the people and keep the goods for yourself.”
22 But Abram said to the king of Sodom, “I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High, Creator of heaven and earth, and have taken an oath
23 that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say, ‘I made Abram rich.’
24 I will accept nothing but what my men have eaten and the share that belongs to the men who went with me—Eshcol, Aner and Mamre. Let them have their share.”

Summary

The Bartizan of the Throne
(Absolute Bartizan – Journey – Guidepost)

▷ The results of faith and unbelief differ. Faith has heaven as its background. Whenever there was a great answer in scripture, a message about God seated on the throne appeared. Unbelief has hell as its background. The nations of the world built bartizans out of what is wrong. Also, faith means God has breathed the breath of life into us, and falling into unbelief means being in the grave. The faith that believes in God is hope, and unbelief is despair. Invisibly, bartizans continue to be built. The terrifying darkness bartizan, the strong fortress (2 Cor. 10:4-5), must be torn down by the word. We are building this bartizan of the throne. If we can pray, this becomes the absolute bartizan. Then without fail, the answer of world evangelization comes (absolute journey). Your work connects all the way to saving the world, reaching the 237 nations and the 5,000 peoples (guidepost).

▣ Introduction

1. Ps. 50:20-22 Those who forget God have no one to rescue them. Humans are spiritual beings, yet they have lost God.

2. Ps. 7:1-17 Without God, the enemy, Satan, tears like a lion.

3. 1 Sam. 2:1-10 Everything is in God’s hands.

▣ Main_ Result

1. Lot – Lost God
1) Chose the city of Sodom out of unbelief
2) Captive – War broke out and he became a captive. Humans don’t know their own future. Lot’s heart had no place for God at all, and he thought worldly things were the best.

2. Abraham – Built an altar. This is a new beginning for his life.
1) Gen. 13:18 After sending Lot away, he built an altar.
2) 318 men – Abraham brought 318 trained men born in his household and rescued his nephew Lot.

▷ The result of faith is completely different. The result of faith — what fruit does it bear? We must confirm this in scripture. Then today’s worship becomes an extremely important time.

3. Blessing – Faith
Spoils – Having won the war, the king of Sodom offered the spoils, but Abraham did not accept them. Because he knew God would bless him with worldly things.

4. Melchizedek – Tithe
Abraham gives a tithe. If you grasp the precise covenant, God Himself accomplishes the history.

▣ Conclusion

Watchman’s Prayer
Worship Prayer

▷ This alone is enough. We are watchmen. So, watchman’s prayer. Also, worship alone is enough. Worship prayer. So today, during worship, many invisible bartizans will be erected. During this time of worship and prayer, the power of the throne will come, and invisibly the Kingdom of God will come.

Transcript

We know well that the results of faith and unbelief differ.

[ Faith ] [ Unbelief ]

Our faith has heaven as its background.

[ Heaven (Throne) ] [ Hell ]

Jesus explained a great deal about the throne. Whenever there was a great answer in scripture, a message about God seated on the throne appeared. The opposite of this is hell. Because we always carry this background, it’s actually terrifying. When you think about it, these two things are what you must be careful about.

– Wrong [Bartizan]

Many of the actions of the nations that have existed in the world until now are, in fact, wrong. This has been built up as a bartizan, I’m telling you. Don’t be deceived by this. Until now, great powers used their great strength to oppress other nations. Is that right? Those nations all collapsed. But we keep thinking the way the world thinks — if you fight and win, you’ve won. That’s now the hell, Satan’s bartizan. It’s wrong. Joseph’s brothers tried to kill Joseph and sold him. They thought of Joseph as an enemy. Because he kept “tattling” to their father, they tried to kill him like that. They thought they had won. A mistaken assumption. Potiphar’s wife, when Joseph wouldn’t do as she wished, framed him and threw him in prison. Do you think she won? That’s mental-illness level. We shouldn’t be shaken by seeing things like that. King Saul kept pursuing and tormenting David. He thought he had power and had won. He had completely lost. The world teaches things wrongly like this, I’m telling you. How to defeat and beat your opponent. They teach things like that, don’t they? The Art of War. Acting like some kind of hero. Because we’ve learned only these kinds of things, church members live this way too. While you’re living within the covenant, what looks like a loss is not a loss. So the world keeps building bartizans out of wrong things.

[ Breath of life (Gen. 2:7) ] [ Grave ]

This faith means God breathes the breath of life into us. From the beginning, in Genesis 2:7, He breathed the breath of life. In Ezekiel, falling into this unbelief is described as being in the grave.

[ Hope ] [ Despair ]

This faith that believes in God is hope. This (unbelief) speaks of despair. So you are not just enduring. You are enjoying God’s covenant.

So invisibly, bartizans continue to be built. This cannot be ignored.

2 Cor. 10:4-5

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 explains that this terrifying darkness bartizan, this terrifying fortress, has been built. No one knows this. Scripture explains it as a tremendous bartizan. It calls it a strong fortress. It says to tear this down with the word.

– Bartizan of the Throne

We are building this bartizan. The bartizan of the throne.

(Absolute Bartizan – Journey – Guidepost)

If today, as you pray, you can pray, this becomes the absolute bartizan. The answer is guaranteed to come. The answer comes all the way to world evangelization. That’s the absolute journey. Your work connects all the way to saving the world and reaches the 237 nations, the 5,000 peoples. The guidepost. Why? Because God is even now accomplishing the work of salvation. Invisibly, God is working now according to the faith that believes in God’s mighty power.

▣ Introduction

1. Ps. 50:20-22

Psalm 50, verses 20-22. What does it say here? Those who forget God have no one to rescue them. They have lost God. Only humans are meant to believe in God, yet they have lost God. Humans are spiritual beings, yet they have lost God. Most people. So we try to preach the gospel. Most people actually fail and are here (in the “wrong” category). This must open our eyes. So for those whose eyes are opened, worship becomes important.

Especially, you’ve been working outside for six days. I tell police officers this. You really need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Why? Because all you do all day is chase criminals, so 24 hours a day your eyes are trained to look for criminals. So you need to be filled with the Holy Spirit. I tell newspaper reporters the same. You really need to receive grace. All you do all day, every day of the year, is deal with incidents and look for problems. Serious spiritual problems come. Right? I tell doctors the same. All day, all year, you meet sick people. This isn’t easy. Then, you yourself don’t realize it. This condition changes you. You especially need to gain spiritual strength. Right?

Even so, those who have lost God have no way. Animals aren’t spiritual beings — they don’t need to believe in God or be saved.

2. Ps. 7:1-17

Psalm 7 says what? Without God, the enemy attacks me like a lion. Who is the enemy? That’s Satan.

3. 1 Sam. 2:1-10

1 Samuel 2:1-10, Hannah confessed that everything is in God’s hands. Everything is in God’s hands.

▣ Main

So there’s something we must absolutely refer to today.

1. Lot – No God

This is the story of Abraham and Lot. Lot greedily took everything worldly for himself, but he lost God. That’s the only thing he lost. So what happened?

1) Sodom
Naturally, out of unbelief, he chose Sodom.

2) Captive
Later, because of this, war broke out and he became a captive here. Humans don’t know their own future. This Lot’s heart had no place for God at all, and he thought worldly things were the absolute best.

2. Abraham – Altar

At this time, as you know, Abraham built an altar. Listen, building an altar isn’t just words. Your life is newly begun. You must build that altar.

1) Gen. 13:18
He sent Lot away, gave Lot every advantage, and Abraham began to build an altar. Important.

2) 318 men
At this time, his nephew Lot became a captive here, but Abraham became a household with the great blessing of raising 318 trained men. Listen, having 318 household soldiers in a household is truly no small thing. Didn’t I tell you this story before? I went on a retreat with 100 children. I brought three deaconesses with me — to cook. Feeding these 100 people — breakfast, lunch, dinner all had to be provided. These three deaconesses worked all day long. Wow, this is no small task, I thought. We tend to take housewives’ work at home for granted. It’s no small task, looking at it. With 318 men, there would be their families too — that’s over a thousand people. With these 318 household soldiers, Abraham rescues his nephew Lot.

Result

The result is completely different. If you have faith today, the result of faith is completely different. Though insufficient, I started out that way from the beginning. Ah, if I were to be a minister, do evangelism — did it really need to depend on people’s help? When we started in Yeongdo, did the church really need to have so many important people and so much money? Other people, those of us who started it — these people had good faith. The issue is the result. What fruit does the result of your faith bear? You must confirm this in scripture. You must confirm it in history. You must confirm it with actual evidence. Then today’s worship becomes an extremely important time.

3. Blessing – Faith

God believed He would bless Abraham. What did this Abraham do? How much faith did he have? Abraham, who at first made excuses and ran around avoiding things — how much faith did he have?

〔Spoils〕

Having won the war, the king of Sodom offers spoils. Listen, when you go to war, there are conditions attached, and when it ends, there’s that. The king of Sodom gave Abraham an enormous amount of wealth. Because he had lost the war. At that time, what did Abraham say? “I will not accept even a single thread from what you give.” That’s what he said. He didn’t accept it. Why? Because he knew God would bless him with these worldly things. “Otherwise you’d say later, ‘I made Abram rich.'”

4. Melchizedek

And then he meets Melchizedek. Melchizedek is written as a priest, a shadow of Christ.

〔Tithe〕

Meeting him, Abraham gives a tithe. We can think about many things here. Actually, for our young adults and Remnants, our life isn’t a joke. You must have a definite plan and grasp the covenant of receiving economic blessing too. If you grasp the precise covenant, God Himself accomplishes the history. Without fail.

▣ Conclusion

So this alone is enough.

[ Watchman’s Prayer ]

You are watchmen. Watchman’s prayer.

[ Worship Prayer ]

Worship alone is enough. Worship prayer.

So today, during worship, many invisible bartizans will be erected. During this time of worship and prayer you do today, the power of the throne comes. Definitely. Invisibly, the Kingdom of God comes. To King Saul, who would be destroyed, this is a laughable story. Right? “What throne? What Kingdom of God? Angels helping? Are you crazy?” That was King Saul’s faith. So he dies. King Saul ultimately killed himself. Because he was caught by Satan. So when King Saul looked at David, this guy was crazy. “Where the word of the Lord comes, powerful angels of the Lord serve. Where the Lord is present, the armies of heaven work.” That’s what he said. So he said this guy was crazy. The result was history happening on a scale nobody could stop.

I hope you build this bartizan today. Why? This isn’t an old story. Our parsonage used to have a big yard. And church members would give us dogs. As I recall, there were five, six, seven dogs, quite a lot, anyway. I’m not exactly someone who dislikes dogs, but I’m not really fond of that sort of thing. The whole house was a mess, just like that. Noisy, smelly, chaotic, anyway. How smart are these dogs? They knew I disliked it. Wow, I was surprised. When I arrived, they all go into the rooms, into the house. When my daughter comes, they all come out. Astonishing, from my perspective. Once, one got lost and found its way back. I thought then, “Wow, are dogs really this clever?” But I’ve never seen a dog worship. Right? A dog is a dog. Only humans can worship. Right? You enjoy this today. Be thankful for it.

I bless you that today will be a day of great grace, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let today be an important day of grace. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

God at Work

2026.06.07 District Message Week 23
「God at Work」(Ge 13:1-18)

Genesis 13:1–18

01 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, he and his wife and all that belonged to him, and Lot with him.
02 Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver and in gold.
03 He went on his journeys from the Negev as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,
04 to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the Lord.
05 Now Lot, who went with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
06 And the land could not sustain them while dwelling together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to remain together.
07 And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.
08 So Abram said to Lot, “Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.
09 Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left.”
10 Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the valley of the Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere — this was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah — like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt as you go to Zoar.
11 So Lot chose for himself all the valley of the Jordan, and Lot journeyed eastward. Thus they separated from each other.
12 Abram settled in the land of Canaan, while Lot settled in the cities of the valley, and moved his tents as far as Sodom.
13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the Lord.
14 The Lord said to Abram, after Lot had separated from him, “Now lift up your eyes and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward;
15 for all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.
16 I will make your descendants as the dust of the earth, so that if anyone can number the dust of the earth, then your descendants can also be numbered.
17 Arise, walk about the land through its length and breadth; for I will give it to you.”
18 Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to the Lord.

Summary

What is supremely important to human beings is not visible. What is more important than a finger is the mind, and when the mind goes, everything goes wrong. Our soul leaves the body and we die — but even going to the hospital, they can only examine the body; they cannot see the soul. So the things in Scripture that are truly answers, the truly important things, are all invisible to the eye, and people have no interest in them. They do not know the work of the Holy Spirit, the work of God, the background of the throne, the help of angels. So tell the Remnant: know the spiritual things and pray while studying. If a household fights every day, disaster will certainly come; if there is a household always giving thanks, blessing will certainly come.

▣ Introduction
1. Salvation — He is still saving people today.
2. Answer — He is still answering prayers today.
3. Fulfillment — The Word is still being fulfilled today.

▣ Main

▷ A decision of faith creates what people cannot foresee.

▣ Conclusion_ Relationship
No need to worry, no need to calculate. What Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel, and Esther did was not that they calculated well — it was their relationship with God. Paul said worry about nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds. Today when we make our decision of faith, the darkness collapses.

Transcript

“God Who Works”

The title of this week’s district material is “God Who Works.”

Fortunately, what is important is invisible to the eye. Most women these days have a lot of plastic surgery, right? The reason they do it is because it’s something visible. But what is supremely important to human beings is not visible to the eye. What is more important than a finger is the mind, you see. When the mind goes, everything goes wrong. But this is not visible to the eye. Our soul leaves the body and we die — that’s what people say. But even going to the hospital, they only examine the body; they cannot see the soul. So the things in Scripture that are truly answers and truly important are all invisible to the eye, and people have no interest. The work of the Holy Spirit, the work of God, the background of the throne, the help of angels — they don’t know these things. Fortunately, right? If they knew, wealthy people would take it all. If people knew “God’s work is this important,” members of the National Assembly would take it all. Fortunately they don’t know. So they struggle and die.

I speak to the Remnant. “Know the spiritual things and pray while studying.” Without doing that, what is it that parents and school teach? Give it everything you’ve got, do whatever it takes — that’s what they teach. That’s right. So later when they go to companies they do whatever it takes. Even if others die — do whatever it takes. Even when they become politicians — do whatever it takes. Even if others die. Even if the country loses. Why? Because that’s what they were taught. So they don’t know the truly important things.

If, say, there is a household in your home that fights every day. Disaster will certainly come, right? Then there is a household that is always giving thanks. Then blessing will certainly come. Spiritual things that are invisible to the eye are tremendously important like this. So God is even now doing works of salvation, fulfillment of the Word, and answering prayers — but because it’s invisible to the eye, people don’t know its value.

▣ Introduction

1. Salvation
He is still saving people today.

2. Answer
He is still answering prayers today.

3. Fulfillment
The Word is still being fulfilled today.

These are the key things, but not knowing they are important, people grab hold of other things. So this is a chance. There are no competitors. If you receive blessing, you can save everyone else, so there is nothing to compete over.

▣ Main

1. Spiritual strength — God’s work

So those who know this spiritual strength are set to let go of unbelief. God’s work happens to those who know this, you see. People don’t understand it very well.

1) The Red Sea
At that time, through those who knew this, when unbelief was abandoned, the Red Sea split. Completely incomprehensible.

2) The Jordan
Carrying the ark of the covenant, the Jordan split.

3) Jericho
As you know, going around in faith, Jericho fell.

4) Canaan
And though many people were in unbelief, the small number who had faith entered the land of Canaan. Because it’s certain.

5) Mt Carmel
That so-powerful King Ahab should have seen God’s work at Mt Carmel and come to understanding, but he came out more shocked and went in the opposite direction.

6) 2 Kings 19:35
People don’t know. Assyria kept pressuring and taking from Israel, on and on. In the old days, China did that to us. They came to our country and interfered. Why would they interfere with us? They interfered. They even interfered with choosing the crown prince. Ridiculous. Hezekiah became king. He sent word to Assyria: “In my father’s day your nation received taxes from us, but there is no reason for us to pay taxes. So from today we will not send tribute to Assyria.” That’s natural, isn’t it? “Is that so?” Assyria came attacking with 185,000 soldiers. Naturally from their perspective — they would conquer and kill them. At first King Hezekiah wavered a little. He sent envoys. He sent some silver and gold. Didn’t work. So now they intended to eliminate Israel. King Hezekiah knew. 2 Kings 19:35. He staked his life and prayed through the night. In 2 Kings 19:35 it says “that night.” “That night” it says. All 185,000 Assyrian soldiers died. Scripture says “God sent His angel.” That’s right. Our lives and souls are all carried away by the angel of the Lord on His errand. King Hezekiah knew this secret. Ordinary people don’t know. Don’t be discouraged — pray.

7) Daniel 6:10
In Daniel 6:10, Daniel was not only skilled. “He knelt three times a day toward the temple and prayed as before.” That’s what it says. Ordinary people don’t see any value in this, you see. Daniel knew this. So he gained wisdom enough to guide kings. Right? You need to know this. That is why you are worshiping. What answer has come? Even if none comes, this itself is blessing.

2. Unbelief — Awakening

When unbelief is abandoned, amazing things happened. Abraham came to realize something late. What is it?

1) Lot — Excuse
He relied on his nephew Lot. But this is not an ethical sin — it’s a great sin. God said your seed would bring blessing to the nations, and he did not believe that Word. So to anyone looking from the outside, nothing looks wrong. Oh, what could be wrong with an uncle raising a nephew? Another person sees it that way. Abraham also has a good excuse. “Ah well, I have no children, so I should raise my nephew well.” The problem is not that. He didn’t believe God. He didn’t believe God’s promise. Think about it. Is that right? That’s how we do our faith life. So he kept making excuses.

2) Strife arose.

So strife eventually began to arise. At this point Abraham makes a decision.

3) Decision
He completely abandons unbelief and chooses faith. (Genesis 13:1–13)
So from this point, this passage is Genesis 13:1 through 13.

3. Faith — Decision

Now from this point, it is God — the very act of making a decision of faith is your beginning of blessing. When will the answer come? You don’t need to know that. Making a decision of faith is the blessing.

1) Genesis 13:14
“After Lot separated from Abram.” That’s what it says. This word means: after Abraham made his decision of faith. That’s what it says.

2) Genesis 13:15
What did He say? God said: “Lift up your eyes and look north, south, east, and west. I will give this to your descendants, to you forever.” That is Genesis 13:15. God did that.

3) Genesis 13:16
And what did He say? “Your descendants will be as numerous as the dust of the earth.”

4) Genesis 13:17
And what did He say? “Walk through the land lengthwise and crosswise. Wherever you set your foot, I will give it to you.” After making a decision of faith, things like this happen.

You may be sick and in pain. Whether you are healed or not, leave it to God, and make your decision of faith. Right? Like the three young men — even dying is fine, even living is fine. Nothing can stop this. The three young men said exactly that. Daniel said the same — even dying is fine. So what is this? It means: I will hold onto God’s covenant. Then from this point God began to work in Abraham.

4. Difference — Result

A small difference makes a great result.

1) Sodom
Full of greed, eyes bright to the flesh. Lot chose Sodom. That is expensive land.

2) Altar
Abraham chose the mountain and began building an altar. This small beginning makes a tremendous result.

Today your decision of faith creates something people can recognize. Right? Korea is a nation that needs to do world evangelization. There was a missionary named Thomas who came here with a Bible to evangelize, and was killed without being able to preach the gospel. He was seized upon entering Korea. But he said Korea must certainly receive the gospel, is a nation that needs the gospel, and is a nation that will do world evangelization. The result has changed tremendously. Your decision of faith today is exactly that.

▣ Conclusion

Now, for the conclusion.

[Relationship]

No need to worry. No need to calculate. What Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Daniel did, what Esther said — it was not that they calculated well. It is not a matter of “will this way work better, or that way” — that’s not it. It is a relationship. A relationship with God. It is not calculation.

“Do not be anxious about anything,” Paul said. “But in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.” Today when you make your decision of faith, the darkness collapses. Right? That decision must be made. “If I perish, I perish.” A decision was made. At that very moment the darkness had already collapsed. While on the desert path there was much complaining, but there were people there making decisions of faith. All of that was conveyed as power and evidence into the land of Canaan. Without even fighting, their hearts melted. When you face difficulties, you must hold the covenant in faith and make your decision. The forces of darkness are set to collapse right then. But the answer is set to come on the exact timetable.

I bless you that you enjoy this blessing all day today, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. We thank God. Please make today a day when the darkness collapses. Please let us make decisions of faith in the midst of difficulties. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Abraham’s Unbelief

2026.05.31 District Message Week 22
「Abraham’s Unbelief」(Ge 12:10-20)

Abraham’s Unbelief

Introduction
1. Original sin – destruction
2. No condition for salvation
3. Christ
4. Grace – no one can stop it
5. Together to the end

Main
1. Know the reason (children) – God is invisibly with you by the Holy Spirit
2. Abandon unbelief – God’s work begins
3. Hold the covenant – eternal response comes
1) Future generation evangelism
2) Israel evangelism
3) World evangelism

Conclusion
1. Thought + Heart = Brain (imprinted)
2. Imprinted in the soul
3. Imprinted on the throne (Revelation 8:3-5)

Those who have received salvation have the Holy Spirit dwelling with them. Those who have not received salvation do not have the Holy Spirit with them. So they are completely different. Rather, in Ephesians 2:2, we see that they are led by the ruler of the power of the air, by Satan. So naturally they are anxious, naturally they fight, and such things happen.

“Abraham’s Unbelief”

Abraham also had a moment of thinking that way. Looking at this, we should receive a different kind of answer.

▣ Introduction

The Bible teaches five things.

1. Original sin – destruction

The Genesis chapter 3 event, original sin. It records that humanity has been completely destroyed. Because they departed from God, they have completely fallen into darkness now.

2. No condition for salvation

Humans cannot save themselves, anyone. Pursuing spiritual disciplines – that is all false. You cannot be saved. Because they have departed from God, no matter how hard they try they cannot be saved. The Bible explains this.

3. Christ

So God made a promise. He promised Christ. He gave the Word so that through faith in Christ, people could come out of darkness, come out of destruction. The statement that there is no condition means even having a lot of money cannot save you. Even having great ability cannot save you. This is something unbelievers completely do not understand. Because you cannot be saved, God promised Christ – that is the Old Testament. The fact that Christ came is the New Testament. The evidence of that continues from Acts all the way through Revelation.

4. Grace – no one can stop it

God decided to give us grace and save us. This no one can stop. God is giving grace and saving us, and it cannot be stopped.

5. Together to the end

God is with the saved saint forever, to the very end. So we say someone has died, but they have not died. The saved soul comes out of the body and is with God forever. So there is not much to grieve over. We do not live for hundreds of years. We are bound to come out of the body. Even now, while our souls are in our bodies, we are with God; but when we depart, we will fully understand. He is with us. So “we have received eternal life” – that is what that means.

So Abraham kept falling into unbelief at first. So although it appeared he was following the Word, he went down to Egypt. There he also faced great hardship.

▣ Main

1. When you know the reason, that is enough

Today there are several things – when you know the reason, that is enough. Because God is invisibly with you through the Holy Spirit, when you know the reason, that is enough. So how long do we face hardship? Until we grasp it. Abraham grasped it and then history began.

2. When unbelief is abandoned

At that point Abraham understood the reason and abandoned unbelief. When unbelief is abandoned, God’s work begins to take place. That moment seems like nothing, but at the moment of abandoning unbelief, God fulfills what He promised to Abraham. Worship time is most important. You may be too exhausted to sleep and face situations like that. Or if work is too hard, you may come to church on Sunday and feel drowsy – that can happen. But on Sunday, because it is your worship time, all the responses are being formed. Abraham, when he believed, God counted it as righteousness, it says.

3. When you hold the covenant, eternally

So through Abraham, a few things – when you hold the covenant within that, the response comes eternally. So now, what is the most dangerous thing? You know how during worship time you cannot worship and keep dozing off? That is the most dangerous thing. First it means there is a health problem. There is also a problem with spiritual health. Of course, when you have not slept and have been working all night, even then you will feel drowsy when you come on Sunday. What I am saying now is not about that. There are people who cannot not come to church, and they come and keep dozing off. Something has grown weak right now. From the moment of holding the covenant, the eternal response begins.

4. Everything is a process

Abraham had unbelief and there was plenty of it, but because God called Abraham, everything is a process. This is content to pray about this week, together. Everything is a process.

5. Cannot be destroyed

Abraham absolutely cannot be destroyed. Why?

1) Next-generation evangelism
The reason Abraham cannot be destroyed is because next-generation evangelism must be done. “Through your seed all the nations of the earth shall receive blessing.”

2) Israel evangelism
Through the lineage of Abraham, Israel must be evangelized.

3) World evangelism
What else? “The nations will receive blessing.” World evangelism must be done. He cannot be destroyed.

So the response is not what is visible. “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” Right now it is not visible to my eyes, and that is why it gets missed. Abraham was told to believe when nothing was visible. No, you have to say something that makes sense. There are no children. His wife cannot bear children. And yet your seed will save the nations. Abraham was not a strange person – it was absolutely unbelievable. So now he comes out with his nephew, and that becomes a problem, and things keep arising. Going through all of this, one day Abraham made a firm decision of faith. From then history began. This must be remembered today.

1. When you know the reason, that is enough (children)

You are children of God. What did God’s children become? “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”

Unbelievers going to fortune tellers – I think that makes sense. Is that not right? They are children of Satan, so they should go find those who are demon-possessed. Do they predict accurately? I do not know about that, anyway. Hardly anyone predicts accurately. These days in our country some strange fortune tellers have become famous and they keep appearing on broadcasts. Ten people came out – what did all ten of them say? They said President Yoon will win. Boldly appearing on broadcasts and saying so. There are even reporters who go back to find those people. All nonsense. You are children of God. So from the moment of abandoning unbelief, history begins. From the moment of holding the covenant, the response immediately starts. That itself is the response. All kinds of things happen. It is a process. There can be a process. “Why does such great hardship come to our home?” It is a process. “Why does such great hardship come crashing down upon us?” There are people like that. It is a process. First of all, you are a great person. You are facing great hardship? You are a great person. They do not give difficult exams to elementary school students. They have just entered school, it is 1+1=2, and if you go and give them integration, differential calculus and all that – is that right? So because you must carry out world evangelism, you absolutely cannot be destroyed.

In the old days Pastor Park Ji-on – he is still alive, but there were several times when word came that he had passed away. So I thought I had better go see him at least once before he passes, and I would go, and he was not shaken at all. What he would say to me was, “Oh, if there is no one left to evangelize, then I should go.” That is what he would say. That is right. A while ago, since he is now old and it is hard for him, when I went, he came out to greet me there. He said he was going off to some mountain, to a convalescent home – it seems like this will be the last time. Well. He spoke calmly and I also calmly said, “I understand.”

God’s children are not afraid of such things. “Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.” From the very beginning I have said: “If we truly are people who preach the gospel, God will give us our church and make us do world evangelization.” I said this to the church leaders in Busan. If we truly are people who preach the gospel, God will open the door to the 5,000 tribes. Until all these doors are opened, you must fulfill your mission here on this earth.

▣ Conclusion

Today also, personally, you must pray with power even during worship.

1. Thought + Heart = brain

It is all imprinted in your thoughts and heart. The brain. What you pray is imprinted, I tell you. It is imprinted in the brain. With that we think and move our hearts, I tell you. This is important. Is it good to cry out loudly in prayer? Actually, yes it is. It is imprinted here (in the brain).

2. Soul

It is imprinted in the soul. It does not end there.

3. Throne

It is imprinted on the throne. Prayer. So “believe that you have received whatever you pray and ask for. And it will be so.” What does that mean?

Yesterday, after the core session finished, I attended a dedication worship service at a church that had newly moved in. The church only has the choir seating. When I started in Busan, I also only had that choir seating. Since we absolutely must do world evangelization, I unconditionally – no question about it – went around looking for large land. Do you have money? No. But now we have acquired tens of thousands of pyeong. We will build. There we will fully open the three-day weekend age, the three courtyards, and the holy meditation age.

(Revelation 8:3-5)

What is imprinted here (on the throne) will certainly receive a response. Revelation 8:3-5.

You can also pray for yourself in the name of Christ. Pray for diseases to depart in the name of Christ. Really try it. All day long. Pray for all incurable diseases to depart in the name of Christ. It is worth doing, right? If you seem to have caught a cold, you do not necessarily need to do it in the name of Christ. But if I have an incurable disease, I can pray in the name of Christ Jesus. Do it all day today. May today be the day of healing, the day of receiving strength, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let today be a day of receiving strength all day long, let it be a day of healing, and work in the saints who are facing hardship, God. Give great strength. Comfort by the power of God. Work in the many sick with the power of the Holy Spirit. Throughout today’s worship, let the Word of God be fulfilled. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

When God Called Abraham

2026.05.24 District Message Week 21
「When God Called Abraham」(Ge 11:27-12:9)

The Three-Day Weekend Age / Three Courtyards / Holy Meditation Age
[Abraham, the One Who Was Called]

Introduction – Confirmation
1. Word
2. Prayer (Power)
3. Evangelism

Main
1. The Reason for Calling (Destiny)
2. Unbelief (Circumstances)
3. Time of Failure
4. Preparation

Our church is now receiving many people from multiple ethnicities. There are also those who have come in search of the gospel movement, in search of the gospel from other churches. And among those, there are also many who originally had the gospel but have come to our church after moving up to Seoul from regional areas.

You will have many various thoughts. You do not need to do anything. The blessings you have never once done — what is in the Bible — must be restored. You must come to Immanuel Seoul Church and restore it. What to do and how to do it comes second. We keep changing the order, and that is why things don’t work well. When I am trying to go to sleep, I must start by taking off the outer layer — if I keep trying to take off the inner layer first, that doesn’t work. It would eventually work if you kept at it all the way through, but how difficult would it be to start by taking off the inner layer? So in receiving answered prayer, there is an order, isn’t there? What does the Bible say first? The people from multiple ethnicities who come to our church must absolutely experience this. Especially those who have come searching for the gospel — you must absolutely confirm this. It is even better when the family does it together. Because whatever children did together with their parents at a young age — they absolutely never forget it. You will have tried going out with your children to eat, and things like that. Going to a relative’s home together — you will have done that. That too remains as a memory. But the things that truly needed to be done were not done.

What did the Bible teach? That families did it together.

[Three-day weekend]

Focus on the three-day weekend. A church like ours — since it is a good season right now and it is spring and summer, we make it possible to pitch tents. We need to make use of the advantages of our church. The tents are simply lent out free of charge. Families come, pitch them, and do the prayer movement there. It is not a matter of pitching all the tents in advance and having them walk in. The children come and pitch them together. When Jewish people observe these three feasts, they pitch tents together. And in doing so, they hold important events.

In fact, Jesus Himself also bore the cross on Friday, entered into suffering on Saturday, and then rose on Sunday. You need to know that the dark organizations of the entire world make use of the three-day weekend. You need to know that many of the recreational activities happening right now are done during the three-day weekend. But young people do not like going around with their parents. That is your misunderstanding. Because they need to find their own world — it is not that they dislike their parents, it is simply that it does not fit. And because of that, they can end up meeting the wrong children. This is how it happens that drug parties in America are held on the three-day weekend. Almost all Americans are not at home on the three-day weekend. Where do they go and what do they do? It is obvious.

If we fail to dominate the three-day weekend, there will be serious trouble. People at church who have moved here, people from multiple ethnicities — gather just these people and try starting this gathering once. When first starting, even if it is just Friday, I will come and deliver the messages that absolutely must be known, and then go. I will tell you what needs to be done over the three days, and then go. You must do it. You cannot just listen passively. Because we have never once shown our next generation a truly proper spiritual blessing. Of course God will teach them, but there is an enormous difference between showing and not showing. Children who have seen their parents fighting a lot at home — they go out and fight. That’s right? And for their whole lifetime. Because what was seen and imprinted is that. So the Bible says — pitch the tents of the three feasts together with your children. Especially the three-day weekend. In fact, the Sabbath is Saturday, but these people start from Friday. You must do it.

[Three courtyards]

What is the content? Three courtyards. You must enable them to see the world. You must let them know what healing and the summit are. You must let them know what the Remnant is. You teach them everything else and fail to teach only this, and so they spend their entire lives as servants of money. No money — just serving. They should be commanding money but they cannot. They have to chase after it. That’s how people live and die in this world, I tell you. You must absolutely change this to 300%. This must actually be done, that is what I am saying. How do the children do prayer and academic work at 300%? Without being guided. The church must do this. How can a school make it 300%? At school, even if you come in first place, it is only 100%. You need to make it so that when the children go out into the world, they are able to win.

[Holy meditation age]

It was with this (the holy meditation age) in view that God called Abraham.

“Abraham who was called”

Abraham could not understand it. He thought, “I don’t even have children — what’s this about doing things together with children?” He thought, “No, I don’t even know where I am supposed to go and live — what am I supposed to do preparing three courtyards? I can barely afford to eat right now — how am I to do world evangelization?” It doesn’t add up. “Through your seed” — and he doesn’t even have a child. “Through your seed all nations shall be blessed.” It was not that he could not believe it — it did not fit, with himself. That is his mistake. The Word was fulfilled exactly as it said.

▣ Introduction — Confirmation

So when you worship today as well, you must always confirm things.

1. The Word

Right now I am gathered here — what is the Word saying? Doesn’t it come out? For me, the answer comes right away. The first worship gathering — the upper room in Mark. That is what this hour is today. That’s right? The spiritual world changes. Not trying to receive an answer — it comes. Not trying to find health — it comes. Spiritual strength comes, I tell you. Only when you receive the fullness of the Holy Spirit will you receive power. You will become witnesses in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. This is the field you have come to. You must confirm it.

2. Prayer (strength)

You must confirm prayer. Did you clearly come today having gained strength through prayer? You must confirm it. Then Jesus spoke of the throne, the bartizan, and the journey. Since I must always gain strength from this, it has been confirmed for me through the 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts. You don’t have to do it exactly that way. You must confirm the way in which you personally gain strength. Because Abraham could not confirm this, strange things kept happening.

3. Evangelism

In this way, other people are saved through you. That is evangelism. This must be confirmed. This week, an enormous door to 5,000 tribes has opened. I will say more during the message, but because I need to ask for your prayers — many important things happened. Someone who attended our mission conference came to me and asked for prayer, and I prayed for them. That person went back, and last week became prime minister. They sent a message pledging to pursue world evangelization. Tremendous things like this are continuing to open the door to the 5,000 tribes. It is being confirmed, isn’t it?

▣ Main

1. The reason He called (destiny)

Abraham did not at first understand well the reason he was called. He was told to leave Ur of the Chaldeans. Go to the land I direct you to. Go to the land I will show you. That is what it said. There is a tremendous reason here. Take hold of a timetable that will change your destiny.

2. Unbelief (circumstances)

This Abraham fell into unbelief. Because — there is such a thing as circumstances. A fortune teller talks about circumstances. God does not talk about circumstances. That’s right? The circumstances are difficult. But God speaks of the future. Not the current circumstances. He is telling you the most important thing you must do now that you have come here. So we, without this (destiny) being changed, keep following this (circumstances). And Abraham also fell into unbelief.

3. Failure

Failure keeps coming. Even when told to go at first, he did not go. His father passed away. His brother passed away. Famine comes. Only then does he go. But even after going, he could not believe, so where did he go? He went to Egypt. He nearly died there.

4. Preparation

What did God prepare? Not knowing that. It is not circumstances. God has what He has prepared, I tell you. It is that He will deliver you from curse, unbelief, and idols. And now He will guide you with God’s new grace and blessing. And He will make you the ancestor of faith and plant the seed of salvation. And more importantly — He will bless you and your offspring and family and save the world. He later came to understand.

5. Three decisions

At that point, what happens? Three very decisive decisions take place.

1) Genesis 13:18

He yields everything and begins to build an altar. This was the beginning.

2) Ishmael

And knowing that there would be no child, he fell into unbelief and a child was born. Who was it? Ishmael. Ishmael is not the problem — it is that Abraham fell into unbelief and fathered him. This offspring is the Muslim people today. This offspring is the enemy attacking Israel to this day. It is frightening, isn’t it? He sends Ishmael away. We as humans would ask how he could do that, but Abraham completely cast off his unbelief. It is a great decision. At that point Isaac is given.

3) Genesis 22:1-23

And then God tests Abraham again. He is asked to offer his son. At this point Abraham makes an important decision. He understood that what God was asking was not really that He wanted him to offer his son. That’s right? He answered like this. When his son asked, he said — “God will provide.” He waited for what God would provide. He had begun to build the altar.

Launch the three movements of the three-day weekend, the three courtyards, and the holy meditation age together with your children, their friends, and your relatives. The world will not do this. Even if everything else is done, this will not be done. Do this in our church. Do it here. That is why God sent people here. God sent people even to Busan to places where this can be done. It cannot be done elsewhere. Your next generation goes through life having never seen this once? I think that is a great misfortune. I think that means they met the wrong church. That is how I think. I think it means they met the wrong parents. Not knowing, and using the excuse that we did not have time, we could not show this (the three-day weekend, three courtyards, holy meditation age) together to our next generation. Hold it as a covenantal resolve and do it in the church.

▣ Conclusion — World evangelization

From this point on, the blessings coming to Abraham are tremendous. Without doubt, they were fulfilled. Through Abraham’s family, world evangelization that no one could have imagined took place. Before long, Abraham’s grandson Joseph went into Egypt and became prime minister. Of course along the way Isaac, Judah, Jacob, and many children came, but it was completely through Joseph that world evangelization took place.

Today you must confirm what word God is giving to you. That is all. Through that, answered prayer will keep coming. You need to have this experience. No other experience is necessary. There are words given to me throughout my lifetime, but today what word to me — just confirm that and pray for five minutes. You cannot memorize everything. But just by doing that, spiritual change begins to take place. What is happening when we worship and pray? I will explain that during the 1st service today. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, may today also be a day of gaining strength; may we gain not the strength of the world but the strength that God gives. Help us to pass on to our next generation the strength that overcomes the world. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Eternal Economy of Darkness and Age of 3 Economies

2026.05.17 District Message Week 20
「The Eternal Economy of Darkness and Age of 3 Economies」
(Ge 3:15, 6:14, 12:1-3)

Why did Christ come as light?
John 1:11, Isaiah 60:1-2

And why are we told to arise and shine the light? There must be a reason. The world’s people are not being taught this. People don’t know.

Darkness – Satan, background of hell, disaster
It is because they do not know what darkness is. The opposite word is light. Darkness is not simply the state of it being dark, of there being no light — spiritually it means completely, entirely the background of Satan. It is completely the background of hell. So it continually drives this earth into disaster for no reason.

Darkness culture – Nephilim culture
And then it doesn’t just end there — darkness culture emerges. Simply put, worldly people simply cannot understand it. Nephilim culture comes out.

Authority of light – John 1:12, 1 Peter 2:9
So Christ came as light. And you are the light of the world. Therefore he gave you, uniquely, the authority of light. Why? Because you received that light. In John chapter 1, verse 12: “To all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” In 1 Peter chapter 2, verse 9, he gave the authority to shine, deliver, and proclaim this light.

Today you have the authority to pray. There are many forces that deliberately block the gospel. There are many forces that obstruct and hinder the gospel. All of those are now the forces of darkness. Because they hate the light. So they hate the gospel.

“The Eternal Darkness Economy and the Three-Economy Age”
Within this immensely important timetable, for you this week this will not go away. It is the eternal darkness and economy. That is why we pray and the reason you fight — it does not disappear. At this time we overcome with the three-economy age. Now, you might be able to do it without knowing this, just going along — but you know, giving offerings at church — this is a tremendous light economy. When you give an offering to some mission region to make missions happen, that is a tremendous light missions economy. And you simply support the servants of the Lord in faith and do such things, right? This is a tremendous light war.

▣ Introduction_ Eternity
So the first thing to understand is that this darkness economy exists forever.

1. Genesis 3:1-20
Because it began in Genesis chapter 3. And it continues to this day. So we must understand this and deliver this light, and we must use this authority of light.

2. Genesis 6:1-20
As you know, it began in Genesis chapter 6. The Eden incident, the Noah’s flood age, the Nephilim age. It came.

3. Genesis 11:1-8
Now they combine forces and come out. The Tower of Babel. It will ultimately fall, but they combine forces and come out in a collective economy like this.

This (the introduction) is not just something that happened in the past — it continues to this day. 100 years ago, three organizations said: “We will build a second Tower of Babel.” Even now: “There is no need to believe in God.” That is Genesis chapter 3. This is the New Age movement. Even now they promote spirit possession. Various shamans, Freemasonry doing it at a higher level — all doing it now. It will not disappear. The reason we must believe in Jesus and receive salvation is that our souls don’t disappear either. We say “we die,” but that’s just an expression — our souls go on living. Satan, angels — they are not beings that die. They exist eternally. So in Matthew chapter 25, verse 41, what is hell? Hell is the prison that eternally imprisons Satan.

So, given this state of things, when you are giving offerings, when you are working, when you are doing business — you truly must pray.

▣ Main_ 3 Economies
The three economies in this Main section are tremendously important.

1. The Light Economy
You must pray as you give. Giving offerings at church is the light economy among all economies.

2. The RT Economy
And then you all are out there doing missions and all kinds of things. And also nurturing the Remnant — this economy is different.

3. The Mission Economy
The mission economy that is always in prayer is different again. These blessings are each distinct.

You know, there is a nation in the world that gives the most church offerings. Which nation is it? The Jewish people. They earn the most and all of it goes into offerings. Such a large number of sacrifices — too many. And yet the nation that has the most money in the world is the Jewish people. Isn’t that remarkable?

So though you have always been doing this, from today onward when giving offerings you must pray enormously. In some ways, I see it as the most precious thing. Offerings are given to God. Once, a certain person gave an offering and then demanded it back. Why did they demand it back? For various reasons. “Didn’t you give it before God?” Yes. “Returning it would be unlawful.” So I said: “If you end up starving, I’ll give you the cost of a meal. But I cannot give you that church money.” Right? The church offering has been given before God. We cannot use it as we please, and we cannot give it and take it back as we please. Right? I said clearly to that person: “You gave an offering, so I cannot give it back to you. That is unlawful. If you are starving, I will give you the cost of a meal. I’ll give it personally — why should the church give it to you?” Truly thoughtless. The light economy.

With this — I’ve mentioned before — a certain family gave offerings and built a church. Later, world evangelization work happened there. Right? The light economy. Elders prayed and gave offerings, and trained workers inside the church. This later saved the world. There was a child from a poor family, and someone prayed for that child, educated them and helped them. That child grew up and saved the world. Fleming, who created penicillin. He was a child from a poor family. So you see. The light economy.

Why is it the light economy?

1. The Light Economy – Throne
Simply put, if you read the district materials you’ll understand, but this — it is given to God, and the power of the throne causes many people to be saved.

2. The RT Economy – Those who remain, those who are left over, those who will remain, those who will leave a legacy
Why is the Remnant economy important? Because the works of those who remain — those who have the gospel — take place. This is God’s power, right? Equipped with God’s power, you will rise as those who are left over. Going forward you will stand as those who conquer the culture, who will remain. You will stand as those who will leave a legacy raising up many future generations. This is the Remnant economy.

3. The Mission Economy – First, Last
And what else? What you do in missions is a tremendous economy that saves the world. In it is God’s greatest covenant. I’ve said it from the beginning. When he called Abraham: “Through you, all the nations shall be blessed.” Abraham couldn’t believe it. And Jesus said it as his final words in the Bible as well. How much blessing must you receive? What is the standard? Go to all peoples. To what level must the Remnant study? Go to all nations. How much blessing must the church receive? Go to the ends of the earth. That is how it is laid out.

That is what is happening for us now. God’s remarkable works are continuing to happen right now. This time the music team went and is now visiting the Oceania islands. Even the Prime Minister attended, and many received grace in the worship there. The doors are literally beyond imagination. When you hear it, you think, “Oh, I see” — but at that actual place, it is extraordinary. Imagine if you had gone there. The offering you give with that realization is the missions economy.

When Korea was on the verge of dying, missionaries came. When our nation was extremely poor and caught up in idol worship, when we were a strange country — that is when the missionaries came in. They gave our nation the gospel. They healed the sick. They built schools and let children study. Korea now is not a simple country. It may look like there’s nothing we do well, but no. Korea is different from the past. No nation can now attack our nation. We are a nation that does world missions. So we must do it for struggling nations as well. Therefore, the missions economy is enormous.

You must pray over these three things. Then one remaining blessing comes out.

▣ Conclusion_ 7 Points
7 points are waiting. What are the 7 points? Disciples God has hidden away. We will meet them. It is so important. So from today onward — you’ve always been doing this, but from today onward, when giving offerings, you truly must pray. You must consider it the most precious thing. That is how you receive economic blessing and can do world evangelization. “What about my circumstances? I haven’t learned much.” People think things like that. It doesn’t matter. When God works, none of that matters. So if you experience God’s power, there is no comparison with the things of the world. Right?

Throughout today, may you all be in deep prayer, gaining strength and receiving healing. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this be a time of such power. Our believers and Remnant overseas must pray. Those who cannot attend worship and those who are ill in body must pray during the worship time. The work of the Holy Spirit rises together. Right? That is the work of the Holy Spirit. Ordinary people don’t know that. With that in mind, you must pray earnestly today. Let us pray.

Prayer. Thank you, God. May this day be a day full of the Holy Spirit. May it be a day when the Holy Spirit heals. May it be a day when your wondrous authority breaks darkness. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

The Prosperity of the Descendants

2026.05.10 District Message Week 19
「The Prosperity of the Descendants 」
(Ge 11:1-9)

After the time of Noah, God blessed Israel and their descendants prospered greatly. But there is something you must know. The Satan who brought down the people of Israel in darkness did not die — he is still alive.

▣ Introduction — Satan

The flood ended, but Satan is still alive. The people of Israel came out of Egypt, but Satan is still alive and following along. Do you understand?

[ Hebrews 11:1-2 ]

In Hebrews 11:1-2, there is this statement.

[ What is hoped for — substance ]
[ What is not seen — evidence ]

Faith is what is hoped for — this means it is not yet visible to the eyes. But this is not an illusion; it is substance. What is not seen — you cannot see it, but it is evidence. We believe this. Not believing an illusion, but substance. Not believing what is visible to the eyes right now, but evidence. So what must be remembered is: why do we worship today? Your prayers are presented before the throne, but during the time you pray, God’s kingdom is meant to come.

Now, Joseph was being dragged away as a slave. Being sold. “I absolutely cannot live like this. I cannot live this way at all.” If he said that, he would lose. At that moment darkness comes. Right? “I am on the path right now of accomplishing world evangelization.” At that moment God’s kingdom comes. You understand, right? That is the answer. The result comes later. So even though it is not visible, it is evidence, it is substance. “King Saul absolutely must kill that David. If that one makes a mistake, he will take my position.” That is what happened. So King Saul became possessed by an evil spirit. Seeing that, you can see kingdom came. Right? Satan also has a kingdom. David said, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Right now I am actually walking through the darkest valley, yet I will not be afraid.” Right? At that moment God’s kingdom comes. You must remember this.

And so worshipping is extremely important. When you hold the covenant, the answer comes a bit later, and God’s kingdom comes. When you hate others intensely and try to kill them — at that point what comes first? Darkness comes first. Right? You must always remember this. So some people pray their fill and then go home and say “My husband is hopeless.” Then darkness comes. God can do it. Right? You are what is important. And so scheduled prayer and these kinds of things — momentary prayer at every moment causes God’s kingdom to come.

How should we pray? He said to pray for God’s kingdom to come. “Do not ask for this or that. God knows. That is what unbelievers do. You seek first his kingdom and his righteousness. Then all these things will be given to you as well.” And in the last days, the secret of the answer — the work of God’s kingdom — was explained for 40 days. You understand, right? I do not even need to explain much — you understand. Right now in this moment, when you hold the covenant, God’s kingdom comes. When you pray, God’s kingdom comes. This is not what I am saying. It is what Jesus said. I believe this fact. You must always remember it.

▣ Main

The descendants of Israel kept prospering, but that is not the issue — Satan keeps following along. Continuously. So even now, what does Satan do? He keeps trying to bring down the many believers.

1. Satan

Satan is not dead, I tell you.

1) Opposing

So what is it doing even now? It opposes God. With no power at all, it opposes God.

2) No salvation

And it tries to block people from being saved.

3) No grace

And even when saved, it blocks them from receiving grace. And then later it blocks all of these.

4) Hell

Later it is not a matter of dying anymore; one is locked away in hell.

2. The Tower of Babel

Now, this must be remembered. Because people succeeded without believing in God, they begin building the Tower of Babel. So making a lot of money is not a blessing. Being healthy is also not a blessing in itself. A person who has received God’s blessing should have money and be healthy. Right? A person who has not even received blessing having a lot of money? That leads to death. Also, “being healthy is a blessing”? That is not necessarily so. A person who has received God’s blessing and covenant being healthy is a blessing; but someone wandering around strangely and always harming and killing people — is being healthy a blessing for them? Because they do not know God, Satan gets involved in all of this. That is how it goes. So the genealogy of Noah’s descendants is recorded at length, but what did they do?

1) A city

Let us build a city all the way to the top.

2) The top

Do not just build a city; let us build it all the way to the top. Let us challenge God’s dwelling place.

3) A name

And let us make a name for ourselves. That is what the Tower of Babel was. And in doing so it collapsed.

3. Christ

So God promised Christ. In the Old Testament, He said He would send Christ. In the New Testament, Christ came.

1) Blood — the curse

Through this blood sacrifice, we are freed from Satan’s curse. Right? This is the promise He gave.

2) Name — authority

In the New Testament age, we overcome Satan’s power through the name of Jesus Christ. He gave the authority to overcome Satan through that name. Until the second coming.

3) Binding

We bind Satan in the name of Jesus Christ.

You must remember. Satan is not dead. It keeps moving around. And because people do not know what prayer is that causes God’s kingdom to come, Satan gets in among people and makes this (the Tower of Babel) happen.

▣ Conclusion — [ Always ]

So from today, knowing this fact, you must always enjoy God’s kingdom. The visible answer comes after that. Right?

1. 7 bartizans — platform

What is it? Keep enjoying the 7 bartizans. If you keep this prayer going, it becomes a platform.

2. 7 journeys — watchtower

No need to do anything special. If you keep going the 7 journeys through prayer, a light-shining watchtower is built.

3. 7 guideposts — antenna

If you keep praying the 7 guideposts, an antenna that connects with God for world evangelization stands.

You must pray today. When a problem comes, what decision you make — that is what matters. If Joseph, having been unjustly sent to prison, had screamed and caused an uproar, darkness would have come upon him. There he prayed. “This will be an important place.” There he meets the politician. It truly was an important place. God’s kingdom came there. Some things are fulfilled after a long time. After quite a while, Pharaoh summoned him.

I pray that today will be a tremendous blessing of holding the covenant where God’s kingdom comes. Let us pray.

Prayer

Today, let the power of the throne be manifested all day, and let God’s kingdom come in the time we pray. Let the work of God’s kingdom bring life to many people. Give new strength to Your people who worship today. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Promise of Blessing After Judgement

2026.05.03 District Message Week 18
「The Promise of Blessing After Judgement」(Ge 9:1-29)

Today is the day our worldwide churches are worshiping together as a community in Hong Kong. Because of the Noah’s flood disaster, all who did not believe in God came to die. But Noah’s family came to live because of the flood. Those who are not God’s children will be utterly destroyed when difficulty comes. But God’s children receive even greater blessing because of difficulty. And so after wandering, a road always becomes visible. And though it seems like you are being tested, when it passes, the answer becomes visible. What you thought was a great tribulation turns out to become a highway. After disaster, happiness always comes again.

“The Promise of Blessing”
After the judgment of Noah’s flood, God gave blessing and made a promise. It was not some other promise — He promised to pour out blessing.

1. New Blessing
So though Noah’s flood came, He gave new blessing to the descendants. And with it He promised something remarkable today.

1) Genesis 9:1
Genesis chapter 9 verse 1: “He blessed them and said, be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth.”

2) Genesis 9:2
In verse 2: “All things were given into their hands.” So everything became Noah’s.

3) Genesis 9:4-7
And also: “Rule over them.”

(Word)
So today you must find new blessing through the Word. Today, through the Word all day long, you must absolutely find new blessing.

2. Eternal Promise
After that suffering He gave an eternal promise to the descendants. What does this mean? Even today, during worship, you hold onto the promise God gives you. Many people pass over it casually. During worship, the new blessing and promise God gives. He gave a promise to Noah and his family and descendants.

1) Genesis 9:8-9
In chapter 9 verses 8 and 9, He made a promise.

2) Genesis 9:10
And He also gave blessing to every living creature that came out of the ark. Even animals must receive blessing. That is right?

3) Rainbow
And not only did He give blessing to every living creature that came out of the ark, but through the rainbow He showed the covenant through nature. So in chapter 9 verse 11: “I will not judge again by flood.” In chapter 9 verse 12: “The sign of the covenant I am establishing for all generations forever.” Though it is a rainbow appearing in the natural world, the blessing God gives us covenantally is great. This is a promise God gives to us who live in this world, that is what it means. So we can see a rainbow in other places too. But this rainbow is different. It is a rainbow that appeared after a flood came and everyone was dying.

In the old days, when guarding sheep, protecting them by throwing stones — everyone did that. What does this mean? The stone that David threw was different, that is what it means. Doesn’t a rainbow appear at any time? So whatever small thing you are doing, what is in your hands is different. Imagine what a tremendous thing that was at that moment. How they were dying from the flood and then a rainbow appeared.

You must always receive the greatest grace on Sunday. When possible, on Sundays pray all day long and hold onto the Word. Hold on to the point where you can see that Word being fulfilled during the six days. This is very important. You see the Word living and working. You must receive that blessing today.

3. Mistakes
Now, mistakes appeared. We can make mistakes too. What mistakes did Noah, who received such blessing, make — well, he planted grapes and the land was thriving and so on.

1) Noah
Such a righteous man who prayed much, yet Noah ate too much wine and got drunk.

2) Ham
And so his son Ham made an even greater mistake. It was a mistake, and Noah’s mistake might make us think “How could he do such a thing?” — you could be tempted there. Who made the even greater mistake at that point? Ham did. He went around talking about it all over the neighborhood.

3) Shem — Japheth
At that point Shem and Japheth, simply put, took a blanket or garment and covered their father. And they did so with deep care and respect for their father, walking backward to cover him. But Ham went around talking about what was wrong. And God cursed Ham. Even now, the people who seem to be in the most difficult and suffering places in the whole world are actually the descendants of Ham, it could be said. The people of the West who have received rather more blessing are descendants of Japheth. We Koreans belong to the Semitic lineage and have received that kind of blessing. To say it so flatly would itself be a mistake. But that is the situation that emerged.

[Understanding]
It is extremely important for you to understand and help those who have made mistakes. Looking around you, families too can make mistakes. There are many people who end up wounded or wounding others over such things. It may seem like nothing, but it has tremendous bearing on and relation to life. When difficulty or conflict comes to your family, how you handle it has bearing on answered prayer, I tell you. This is a very important lesson. Having received such great blessing, there are times when we easily make mistakes like this. The very thing that can be answered today — difficulties can come even within your family. Depending on how you understand it, great blessing and difficulty diverge. The same is true within the church. There are times when people are at odds and in conflict with each other. Look at the whole Bible. Whether answered prayer comes or not at that point makes a tremendous difference. Look at the seven Remnants. What is the difference between Joseph’s brothers and Joseph? We miss many parts of this.

Understand the family member who made a mistake. It is not saying that what they did was right. That is right? It was a mistake. People arise in church work who end up in conflict. You must be able to understand that. The difference in that produces a tremendous difference in blessing.

It was just before I came to this church, when I was still an associate pastor. The church was being put to the test and difficulties were coming. What elders most need to be cautious about is this: when there is some hurt feelings or friction within the church, tremendous spiritual difficulty comes. No — personally they were very important and fine people, but they changed in strange ways.

So we may appear to be nothing, but it has great bearing on answered prayer. David understood the very wrongful life of King Saul. He prayed for King Saul. Even when King Saul died, David wept bitterly. He should have said “good riddance” — yet he wept bitterly. To whom did God give this immense blessing? To David.

When problems arose in the church, people completely switched to law. There was no gospel. They condemned each other. Later even the ministers went that way. I was shocked by something. It was like they just didn’t believe in God at all anymore. They changed. So at that point I received a great answered prayer. I committed to 40 days of prayer alone. “Let me go somewhere good and minister there.” I finished the 40 days and started again. I did 40 days twice — wrote down the Scriptures and did all of that — and after doing that twice I realized: “I was praying wrongly. What should I do for my personal benefit?” That was the prayer I had prayed. I was worried about my future, praying for God to guide it. That was wrong. I had concentrated for 40 days and that is what I realized. That is an enormous thing. At that point God put it in my heart: “Do well what you are doing now. Do you know what is most urgent for the church right now? Do that.” A truly great answered prayer came.

So I brought a proposal and report to the senior pastor. “Our church has many people with a sense of calling. I will raise up these called workers and do an evangelism movement. We need to create an evangelism school, call the church’s called workers in the evenings, teach evangelism, and run an evangelism movement.” The pastor was very glad and said, “Do that.” And then, in the evenings — we mainly met on Thursdays and Fridays — an unexpectedly large number of called workers came. And this word “evangelism school” became my lifetime of answered prayer.

When I came to our church, what was the very first thing? In the first two weeks of meetings we started with the evangelism school. When training pastors in Busan for evangelism — evangelism school. Even now when something starts in another region or country, I open an evangelism school. This time so many disciples arose. Look at that. That was an answered prayer that covered my whole life. So I left that church and came here, didn’t I? Those ministers who were embroiled in the fighting in the church — as far as I know, almost none of them are doing pastoral ministry now.

For you, blessing and promise are important, but when such things (mistakes) happen, something very important takes place. Now, as if God were showing off, He blessed me — and after that I came here to Yeongdo. From that time until now, only those who do the gospel movement — God has been sending them as church leaders, and it has continued to the present. Now that war has broken out, airfares have tripled — tripled. Yet mission workers from overseas keep coming. We received much grace this time. I was so astonished at the fact that people we didn’t even know had received this gospel and were doing the Word movement. Even with no conditions for it. As we meet those mission workers through the screen like this, covenants that cannot be expressed in words become visible.

Absolute Sovereignty
Do not be discouraged. You must believe in God’s absolute sovereignty.

Absolute Plan
Do not be flustered. God has an absolute plan.

Absolute Covenant
We also easily get shaken if we are not careful. God gives you an absolute covenant. And He will give it again. So you must go forward with confidence.

Absolute Journey
No matter how difficult the wilderness, we must absolutely go on the journey God gives, and so we must not be shaken. There is no need to be discouraged or to suffer greatly in your heart. No matter how many obstacles there are, we are going to the land of Canaan. No matter how much the forces of darkness rage, world evangelization will happen.

Absolute Goal
God has certainly prepared it. He has prepared the absolute goal of world evangelization. It is within this.

This time I said to our Elder Park here in Hong Kong: “The fact that someone like you, Elder, is here is itself something to be grateful for.” That is right? The fact that you elders, you who have the covenant, are here is itself a blessing. So many people don’t know these things. The fact that a church leader with the gospel is beside us is itself a thing to be grateful for. Light makes no sound, yet darkness flees. This light seems to make no noise, yet it gives us life. Christ came as light. And to those who receive that light, even those who believe in His name, the authority to become children of God was given. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be a time of receiving great grace.

Prayer
Thank You, Lord. May today be a day of healing, a day when darkness retreats, a day when curses and disasters are bound, a day when we are clothed in God’s new grace. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

The Historical Facts Regarding the Flood and the Reason

2026.04.26 District Message Week 17
「The Historical Facts Regarding the Flood and the Reason (Genesis 8:1-22)

First, there are a few things you must confirm. On Sundays, you must go holding onto the accurate covenant. Even though people hear the same sermon, every person may hear it differently. You must grab it while looking at the flow of the Word. And on Sunday, there must be a time of very deep prayer. You must do it to the point of gaining fundamental strength. Doctors fix illnesses, but God handles the fundamental things. On Sunday, you must intensively have time to gain fundamental strength. You must gain the power of prayer to the point where even a sickness that was coming retreats.

This content is for the District Bible Study used for studying the Bible in the region. If you do “Branch Church,” you do it there too. Because this is important material, you should personally think about who you will send this message to next week. It would be good to send it to those who need it. In the past, when doing field evangelism, I would participate with a plan for where to evangelize tomorrow. Then, I would think about what Word I would take with me. Especially, who should I pray for and how. That is the “3 Todays,” and it is so important.

A friend contacted me saying they were going on a short-term mission. So, they wanted to meet me. At that time, I had a book titled To Become a Missionary. Since it was at home, I thought I should take it. But I looked and couldn’t find it. I couldn’t buy it at night, and I had to meet them the next day. In the morning, I went to early morning prayer, and a booklet was lying on the floor inside the church. I picked it up, and the title of that book was To Become a Missionary. On the back, it had someone’s name written on it. So when I met the person the next day, I said, “This is so-and-so’s book, so read it and return it.” Although it was just one short day, I came to realize many things.

In this land, spiritual problems are increasingly growing. Development is happening, but there are more people with mental illnesses. Suicides are increasing. Also, drug addicts are increasing. What’s more important is that there are many patients with strange demon-possession illnesses that doctors and ordinary people don’t know well. Right now, shamans are rising up like scammers telling people to do exorcisms (Gut). It is happening tremendously. It would be good to deliver this message today.

「Flood Incident – Disaster」
Today is about the Flood incident. This is a disaster. Why did God bring the Flood?

▣ Introduction _ [Nephilim]
Actually, it was to block the Nephilim disaster. It is a tremendous event, and looking at Noah’s Flood today, there are a few things you must know.

▣ Main Body _ Three Backgrounds
There are three backgrounds.

1. Genesis 3:1–6 As you know, there are several important incidents in the Bible. It is the Garden of Eden incident. Here, they were tempted by Satan and left God.

Genesis 6:1–20 After that, the Flood incident broke out.

Genesis 11:1–8 A little later, the Tower of Babel collapses. This is the first background. However, this is continuing even now.

[Genesis 3:1–6] What did Satan say in Genesis 3? He said something scary. “If you eat this, you will become like God.” The New Age movement growing in America and Europe uses that term. “You become like God.” “You become a powerful one.” “You find the hero inside you.” They teach like this.
[Genesis 6:1–20] Even now, the Nephilim and spirit-contact movements continue. I saw someone writing briefly: Why can’t you leave once you enter the Freemasons? They wrote several reasons, and one was this: Spirit-contact movement. Nephilim movement. You cannot escape.
[Genesis 11:1–8] Now they say, “Let’s build a second Tower of Babel.” The 3 Organizations are continuing it.

1) Idolatry: So people have no choice but to worship idols.
2) Satan: But behind that, the activity of Satan is completely laid out.
3) Spiritual Problems: So spiritual problems have no choice but to come. The whole world might be able to solve everything else, but they cannot solve spiritual problems. Therefore, “Make an Ark.” This means Christ, right?

2. Mighty Men of Nephilim There is a second background. Looking at the Bible, the “mighty men” of Nephilim arose. Very powerful people of Nephilim began to arise. This is the second background. When you do an exorcism (Gut), power comes, right? But it becomes more difficult. If you continue idolatry, “something” arises. That becomes a bigger problem. So sin becomes rampant; because wrong people have power. What happens when bad people have power? They harass weak people. Simply put, because they are seized by Satan, they have power. With this, they committed all sorts of crimes.

3. Hell Background More importantly is the third. It looks like they are living on this earth, but they are inside the background of Hell. There are these three backgrounds. There can be no peace. They cannot live well. Even if they live well, it gets harder. Even though they studied a lot, it gets harder. These are the three illnesses. Therefore, a person who is saved and goes to Heaven is currently inside the background of the Heavenly Throne. Going to Heaven after death? That is not an accurate statement. You enjoy the blessings of Heaven and then naturally go. People who go to Hell enjoy the background of Hell and then go to Hell. They go after doing Satan’s errands.

Some people might easily say, “Why go to Hell when they didn’t do anything wrong?” In Matthew 25:41, Hell is ultimately the place to lock up Satan forever.

1) Matthew 25:41: Then, a person going to Hell is a child of Satan, so they have no choice but to go. You don’t go to Hell because you have many sins; you go because you could not solve the problem of sin. We don’t go to Heaven because we didn’t sin; we have been forgiven of our sins. So it is miserable. The background itself is Hell. The background itself is Satan.
2) [Crime]: It looks like they have power for a moment, but all crimes happen here.
2) Serving Satan: Because they serve Satan all their lives, they must go. Jesus said it like this:
3) John 8:44: “Your father the devil.” Not even a friend. Father. To whom did He say this? He said it to the Jews who were attending church but did not know the Gospel. They were doing religious life well, but “Your father the devil.” Therefore, Satan is only afraid of Christ. He is not afraid of your money. He does not fear the skills you have. He fears Christ. “There is no other name under heaven given to us by which we must be saved.”

▣ Conclusion
Therefore, we must open the Era of the Three Courtyards and inform people quickly.

1. Three Courtyards: You know them, right? The Courtyard of the Gentiles (Multi-ethnic), the Courtyard of the Children (Remnants), and the Courtyard of Prayer (Healing). We must make them.
2. Fri-Sat-Sun: We must open the Fri-Sat-Sun era. Now, taking the Remnants, what must we make them into? We must make them people of prayer who survive wherever they go. The Fri-Sat-Sun era. The whole world is dying from spiritual problems.
3. Meditation Era: So, open the Meditation Era that heals that. This is next week’s lesson.

Please summarize this simply and send it to those who need it. That person will be surprised when they see it. Perhaps their own problem is caught in here. From this, a huge change begins to happen. There are many such people. But especially, there are many among celebrities. There is a reason. The angel in charge of praise fell, so it has no choice but to be so. So it is especially common among people who are said to be wise. They are hiding it. Because they are hiding it, if you have the message, the time schedule to save them will come.

I will conclude. If anyone says, “I have this kind of spiritual problem,” do not try to solve it. Completely imprint it as the Watchtower, Journey, and Guidepost given by Christ. It will disappear. In fact, even if you are caught in a special illness, you can fight and win. The question is how to win. You must restore all fundamental strength for both the body and the spirit. Is that possible? It is possible. Therefore, gain the greatest strength on Sunday.

Today again, we offer the World Missions Worship together. It is a concluding message. You must take that with you. Finally, what will you take? You must take it.

Prayer. May today be a day of gaining strength all day long. May it be a day of solving the spiritual fundamentals all day long. May it be a day where my soul and body gain fundamental strength. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Noah’s Ark That Modeled Salvation

2026.04.19 District Message Week 16
「Noah’s Ark That Modeled Salvation」
(Ge 7:1-24)

Many of our missionaries will be arriving now. Also, all our church members must pray together. The most important thing is not “what work should I do,” but that you must first possess something in advance.

The Power of the Throne [Prayer]
Enjoying this power of the Throne is prayer. Before deciding what to do, you must be doing this.

Spiritual Strength [The 5 Powers]
Then, spiritual strength arises naturally. The “5 Powers” (spiritual, intellectual, physical, financial, and manpower) emerge. You must possess this in advance with a sense of composure. Also, if you don’t have this right now, do not panic when urgent matters arise; instead, cultivate this strength. Within this strength, you can fight when you meet problems. Most Remnants are precious, but they don’t know this strength. If so, they have to live exactly like unbelievers. From that point on, they suffer more pain that others don’t know about. It’s difficult. Unbelievers live however they want because they don’t know any better and aren’t saved, but it’s different for believers. Unbelievers might collapse while wandering or do bad things without realizing it, but believers can’t do that—it becomes a struggle. Even more? You must go out possessing this; if the young Remnants go out without it, it is hard. It is the same for adults. If you have no strength, you have no composure. Then you are constantly chased—chased by life. So, even though you possess all the blessings, it feels as if you have no faith.

Worship [Only]
It is with these blessings that we have come to worship today. Well then, when you worship, don’t just “do” it; realize that today’s worship is a day where you can praise and worship without doing anything else. Today is a day to enjoy the blessing of “Only” all day long. While enjoying these blessings…

Introduction: Problems, Crises, Conflicts, Diseases, Failures
When we go out into the world, we encounter problems, right? Sometimes we meet immense crises. We can actually fight a crisis, but what’s more difficult are conflicts. Because of this, we might encounter disease, and sometimes failure comes. Because these things come, what happens if you don’t have this strength? You might start your walk of faith or fall into discouragement, but the fact remains that it is difficult. If you hold this strength and then meet difficulties, they become God’s blessings.

[Noah]
This person was Noah. Noah possessed this strength. If a Remnant wakes up just a little earlier to pray, immense strength arises. All those questions you have? You don’t need to ask them. The problems coming to you? You can leave them alone. You must cultivate this strength. In that wicked age, Noah held onto this strength firmly. That is why God told Noah to “build an ark.”

「Salvation」
This speaks of salvation.

1. Absolute Impossibility
When you think about life, we face things that are “a bit difficult”—you can just endure those. But “absolutely impossible” things happen. Right? You can’t avoid them, yet you have to do them—it’s absolutely impossible. A pastor once wrote a book titled All Five of Us Brothers Got Cancer. I read it briefly; all five brothers had cancer. Not all at once, but four died of it. Then he got it. He wrote about how he overcame it. It made sense. Then you can win. When he got cancer, what did this pastor do? He said, “It’s okay even if I have cancer. It’s a fight between the cancer cells and me.” How did he express it? “We are living together.” While doing that, he built up basic strength. When we meet an absolutely impossible task, we could just not do it if it weren’t necessary—but what if it is necessary? All the children in Israel were about to die. You can’t win. Also, in Noah’s time, disasters began to fall upon everyone. At that time, there is one thing you must do.

2. Absolute Plan
You can pray for just a moment, right? Find the Absolute Plan, not just “a” plan of God. If you find the absolute plan, you are not afraid. If you just ask questions or look for a general plan, you are afraid. People were being killed for not participating in Shinto shrine worship, so it was fearful. At that time, Pastor Joo Ki-cheol found God’s absolute plan. Therefore, he was not afraid. Then, to us:

3. Absolute Possibility
Absolute possibility becomes visible. From now until you die, Remnants must always enjoy this “300% Blessing.” Even when you go to a job, don’t just work and earn money; create “300%” there. You must enjoy it daily. Who was the person who enjoyed that? It was Noah. Thus, God gave the blessing of salvation by having him build the ark.

Main Body

1. The Qualified One – An Urgent Situation
There is a qualified person who receives blessings like Noah. Who can enjoy this blessing? One who has seen the urgent situation. Noah saw this and built the ark. He built it seeing God’s covenant, but many people did not believe.

When I went to America, I saw something urgent. I was shocked when I first went. An urgent situation. Some people say, “America is great, I want to live here,” but for me… seeing many mentally ill people on the streets? I expected that, so that wasn’t it. It was the fact that the youth living in America were not stable at all. Not our current Remnants, but when I first went to a youth retreat, the kids gathered, but they couldn’t even sit down to worship. I thought, “This is the situation in America.” And many people do drugs in secret. But does that mean they live well? Not really. So, “Ah, the Gospel is absolutely necessary in America.” The person who sees that becomes the qualified one. Noah saw this. You must see the situation. More urgently, it’s full of mentally ill people. It’s urgent. This cannot be solved easily. It takes time because it must be healed fundamentally. That is why missionaries are needed. Suffering from depression and panic disorders is basic; there are many.

2. The Period – Time Schedule
So, there is a period here too. A time schedule. God called you at this time. It is something to be sincerely thankful for.

3. The End
Why is that? Because there is an end time for the ministry you do and for that person as well.

2. The Period (The Beginning) – Time Schedule
We have a time schedule for the beginning, but there is also a time for the end. That is why it is important.

4. Christ
Therefore, all the contents of the Ark of Salvation explain Christ, who solves fundamental problems. If you truly know Christ, you are saved. If you enjoy that power, you are healed. In the first service, we will confirm a very important message. What’s more important is that if you gain this strength, those “parts” (problems) disappear. Please, don’t hold onto anything else, don’t be discouraged, but grab the covenant.

Now, before we confirm this, there is something I must say. So many people do not understand practical things well. You get stressed, right? You don’t die instantly. But a complete change happens in your body. At that time, cancer cells gain strength and attack. This is science. And you don’t actually know how great a work it is when you pray, say “Amen,” and have faith. Nowadays, even doctors say it: don’t get stressed. The phenomenon that happens when we receive grace versus when we don’t is scientifically completely different. Why am I telling you this? I am telling you to fight that battle. When? Now. Therefore, worship is extremely important. Like Noah, cultivate your spiritual strength today. Everything will be resolved. You must understand those words.

1. The Qualified One – An Urgent Situation
1) The Word – The Voice: At this time, Noah held onto God’s Word. He heard God’s voice: “Build the ark.”
2) The Age: Meanwhile, Noah had already seen that age. The age of disasters, the age of the Nephilim had come.
3) Walked with: So it said he “walked with Jehovah.” God would surely use such a person, right?
4) Righteous Man: And Noah was a righteous man, a perfect man. How can one be like that? Because he walked with God. Today, if you enjoy the blessing of walking with God, you are perfect. It may look like nothing, but spiritually and practically, many things happen.

2. The Period (The Beginning) – Time Schedule
1) Last Opportunity: The command to build Noah’s ark is the last opportunity. And when is it?
2) Proclamation: It is what happens while this Word is being proclaimed. That is why it’s important.
3) The Physical Body: And it is possible while we are alive. The physical body is important because you receive salvation while you are living.

3. The End
1) The End of the World: Because the end will surely come. The end for the individual, the age, and the earth will come.
2) Disaster: Also, there is surely a time when disasters fall upon unbelief.
3) The Door: Therefore, once this door is shut, it will not open. So, God’s story of building the ark and telling people to open the door and enter is a tremendous story of salvation. It says if you enter the ark, you live. What does this mean? Anyone who is in Christ will obtain salvation. Darkness cannot win. Satan cannot win.

Today, ahead of the Missions Conference, you must start praying to gain true spiritual strength.

4. Christ
1) Wood,
2) Gopher Wood/Pitch, it continues.
3) Rooms: It says to make many rooms inside. You don’t need to know the details. It’s talking about Christ.

So, simply hold the covenant today and start praying.

Conclusion: The Ark (300%)
Whoever enters the ark will live. That’s what it means. Like Noah, what kind of prayer should you offer today? You should pray to receive the 300% answer. The things I absolutely need, the answers I must receive, the field I go to, my home, the things the church absolutely needs. You must pray for those. You must pray for what is absolutely necessary for this age ahead. Then that is “300%.”

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today, Sunday, becomes the day you gain the greatest strength. I pray that today, all diseases within you, though invisible, will retreat. I pray that the darkness blocking the Gospel throughout the nation and the world will be bound.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let today be that very day. Let it be the day of the Ark. Let it be a day of gaining strength like Noah. Thus, let us be witnesses who save those who are dying. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The War of the Nephilim – Build the Ark

2026.04.12 District Message Week 15
「The War of the Nephilim – Build the Ark」
(Ge 6:14-22)

On Sundays, you can think of it as a day where you make up your mind and obtain strength all day long. Also, you can think of it as a day of healing. When you come on Sunday: “I must pray all day long regarding this problem.” Or: “I will hold the covenant and pray all day today for someone.” There must be this kind of joyful waiting. In Psalm 100:4, it said: “Enter his gates with thanksgiving.” It is the heart [of someone] entering when a king has called to give a position. More important than that, we are going before God to obtain strength and offer worship. Therefore, if it is normal, you are offering worship all day today, and by the time it ends, an immense strength must arise. Usually, servants of the Lord say they are tired. Because they worked. You must obtain strength. So if you do not obtain strength on Sunday, how do you manage for the remaining six days? Therefore, it is even better if an answer comes out: “Ah, God has given me this Word today.” When we have good news, we keep gaining strength, don’t we? It is good to obtain that kind of strength. So a person like Rockefeller held the covenant on Sunday enough to enjoy it for six days. Thus, he is a witness who received an enormous amount of answers.

「War with Nephilim – The Ark」
Today is next week’s lesson. What is Nephilim? An angel fell and became Satan, and this Satan came to humans and attacked. Satan attacks directly or attacks by directing demons—it is done like that. A person seized by that is called Nephilim. Sometimes they seem to have power and so on, but they fall into extreme danger. They deceive themselves and deceive [others]. They deceive others as well. Satan is originally a deceiver. So what must we do with this Nephilim? Must we fight? Because it said “War with Nephilim”? We are not fighting. Make an ark. Therefore, the most important part for us is your obtaining strength. At this time, a person to crumble this appears, and that person is Noah. It said Noah walked with God. Because he walked with God, it said he was a righteous man and a perfect person. To that Noah, God said: Make an ark.

▣ Introduction _ Ark
Of course, this ark is a ship made using wood. Inside it, there would also have been compartments for living. To prevent falling into the water, pitch was applied and it was made safely.

Salvation (Christ)
It is talking about salvation. It is talking about Christ. Anyone who comes inside Christ obtains salvation. Because one cannot obtain salvation elsewhere, one obtains salvation within Christ. Today as well, during worship time, you pray to God, but you also use authority in the name of Christ and enjoy the secret of Christ.

▣ Main Body

1. Genesis 6:14
Therefore, make an ark for yourself. For yourself.
1) Genesis 3:15: He gave salvation to humans who had no choice but to die because of Nephilim in Genesis 3:15.
2) Genesis 6:8-9: But to whom did He give this blessing? He gave it to Noah. Because Noah walked with God, He gave this blessing and [said] make an ark.
3) Genesis 6:14: So God [said] not for Me, but make an ark for yourself.
[Friday]: Regarding how we must enjoy this today, by making Friday-Saturday-Sunday—on days like Friday, you all must have a time of earnest corporate prayer and obtaining strength. Or on days like Sunday, do not look at people but obtain strength through prayer.

2. Genesis 6:18
Only when you obtain strength can you save the posterity. Make an ark for your children. Then for us, how must we receive this as an answer?
[Saturday]: On days like Saturday. Save the posterity through the Core [message]. In the field, throughout the whole world, your children are arising as important witnesses. Sometimes I am startled. We must make an ark for the posterity.
Talent: So the posterity comes and finds their talent,
Mission: realizes their mission, and [we] must make it so they obtain this strength. These things must be done on Saturday. If possible, find my talent within this book. Only then can it be found in the Word. Also, while studying many figures, find the talent within Christ. There is much training in every nation. However, we find the talent within the Three Feasts. Without fail, if you are within this 777 prayer, the talent is visible. It’s not just gathering; Remnants come to discover three things. Only. Then, you come to possess Uniqueness. Finally, you perform Re-creation. [We] must absolutely make them discover this talent.

3. Genesis 6:20
Make an ark to save many lives. These things are mainly [done] through—
[Sunday]: Pray through many Sunday worship [services] today.
1) 5 Flows: While praying through worship today, you must absolutely see the five flows. You must see how God’s Word flows and works. Prayer—how it is answered and history takes place. Right now, within which flow are we? Where is evangelism? We are currently within the 5,000 tribes. Right? You must see the flow of the field and nation where you live. Sunday is the day for discovering this.
2) 237 – 5000: So because of you, the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes come alive. In fact, we cannot go to the 237 [nations] and 5,000 tribes. However, Christ [does it] only by the Holy Spirit.
3) TCK, CCK, NCK: Therefore, save the TCK, CCK, and NCK Remnants and posterity; so that the courtyard of the multi-ethnic opens. In this way, one must perform the work of actually making the ark, and when is it done? Friday, Saturday, Sunday.

▣ Conclusion _ [Era of Meditation]
In this way, as we live in the world, we keep trying to do some “big work.” Or we are repeatedly giving up. There is no need for that. We just need to be in that place that God desires. It is opening the era of meditation. Just do it every day.

1. Every Day
Think well and do it every day. You must obtain strength every day. For me, it is so. I do not do scheduled prayer. Implementation doesn’t work [for me]. I start when eyes open. Unceasingly, I start that prayer given by Christ. We are just getting older. We must recover. Brain cells are all breaking down. Hormone changes are occurring in your bodies. So in the morning, for several hours, I pray while unceasingly doing breathing that saves the brain and body. Otherwise, the body cannot handle it. I’m telling you, it becomes spiritually unmanageable. If there is no spiritual strength at all, it won’t do, will it? Spiritual strength must be obtained. No need even to set a time. When eyes open in the morning, I do it unceasingly while preparing.

2. Every Hour
During the day, I confirm. Changing everything into prayer.

3. Every Event
At night, regarding every event, it is 300%.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today, within this week, becomes a blessed time of obtaining great strength.

Prayer. God, let today also be a day of new grace. Let it be a day of hearing God’s voice more than the sound of many people. Let us recover the spiritual strength that only God can give. Let it be a day of prayer where all darkness is broken. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
