2026.03.15 District Message Week 11
「The Worship God Desires」
(Ge 4:1-9)
There is a school of ours in Deokpyeong. There is a restaurant we go to nearby. Every time we go, it is difficult. You have to take off your shoes and enter. So, shoes are just piled up and such. I told the owner, “Make it so people can enter with their shoes on. Now is the multi-ethnic era. Multi-ethnic people cannot sit on that floor and eat like that.” He looked at me and smirked. One day, they are entering with shoes on. One day, they brought in all the tables. Do you understand what I mean? I went to Pastor Akiyama’s church in Japan. It’s a family church, a family church. You have to take off your shoes to enter every room. After the meeting finished, I said to Pastor Akiyama, “From next time, make a church where people walk with their shoes on.”
I have been coming back and forth to this Ulsan church for over 20 years. For the first time in several decades, I entered the office on the 3rd floor with my shoes on. From next time, walk with them on. Make it so anyone can enter. Make it so the church has no threshold. Make it so anyone can come. Keep the restrooms open 24 hours. Let anyone come in. In the future, if you build a church, make it so anyone can come and park. Make a church where many multi-ethnic people can come and rest comfortably. Make a church where the sick can do 24. Make it so many of the posterity, Remnants, the posterity, say, “Let’s go play at Immanuel Ulsan Church.” Why? Because we must make a church that saves the world.
「The Worship God Desires」
The worship God desires. The reason I nagged from the first part is because you all must prepare a vessel that will world-evangelize. Do not misunderstand; there is a characteristic of people who did not graduate from university or who studied in a special field of university. The characteristic of a person who accidentally couldn’t study and just graduated high school and went out into the world, and a person who studied in a special university, is that their stubbornness is strong. It is evidence that they haven’t seen much. A person who has seen many things has less stubbornness. Right? It is rather better to be like the grandmothers, just [saying] Amen. In our Busan, the deaconesses have not learned much, but they are people of prayer. Even now, they weren’t told to, but the deaconesses are sitting exactly in the front seats, and on the right, our elders are sitting exactly. in Seoul, when I look to the left, our elder-elders are sitting all along there. It’s so good to see. Also, if you look closely in the Bible, there are many cases where a great work occurred through the prayer of the elderly.
Now, then, what is the worship God desires? Largely, there are two kinds of worship.
[ Gathered Worship | Living Worship (Rom 12:1) ]
There is gathered worship. There is living worship. It is Romans 12:1. It is extremely important. You must know these two to be able to offer the worship God desires.
Many people say, “I don’t receive answers well.” Some people even say, “I cannot pray well.” To that extent, it’s okay, but some people resent God. “Why does God make only me suffer like this?” Like this. Because of that, they come to grasp something else. Also, they come to struggle. Where is the important thing? Truly, my spiritual state that offers the worship God desires is important. If so, everything must be resolved through worship, but in fact, it is not so. Even so, there are many people who come to offer worship but cannot worship well. Even so, there are many people who [think] it’s okay not to come for worship on Sunday. If so, it’s okay not to worship on Sunday? In fact, that person is a person who doesn’t even need to be [there]. Right? Worship is the most important thing on the earth.
▣ Introduction
Then, how should one reach an answer in worship?
1. Living Worship (Life)
You must restore living worship. What is living worship? It is what occurs within your life, not when you have gathered.
1) Morning – Conquering the Universe (Time for saving me)
Everyone, the morning time is the time for conquering the universe. Therefore, the morning time is the time for saving me. This is the start of living worship.
Once you pass 50, regardless of being male or female, no matter how healthy you are, changes occur in the body. Some people start getting sick around 50. In the old days, there were few medicines and they were a bit poor. Therefore, they couldn’t last 10 years and died. Because they lasted that well, they called it the 60th birthday (hwangap). Whether then or now, the thing that does not change is that once you become 50, things that had no problems start to occur. Your brain cells slowly begin to break. Many break. And immunity also begins to drop. And your lungs and many such things begin to decrease. Even if you eat good things, there is no absorption.
In the morning, you must unconditionally do prayer that restores. It is essential. Therefore, it is living worship. In the morning, you must enter into prayer while preparing everything. When you enter into prayer, continue that breathing, the prayer that saves my brain, body, and everything. You do it. Otherwise, a problem will surely come to you. A problem also comes to the body. Therefore, do not try to fix a person who is sick right away. It has been a long time. You must begin to save the source. This morning time becomes a tremendous time schedule.
2) Day – Conquering the World
Then, during the day, you meet people. This precisely is the time for conquering the world. Right? You change all of this into prayer.
3) Night – Conquering the Future (Answer, 300%)
At night, everything is there, but it’s the time for conquering the future. The time where you obtain the answer and the 300% is made. This is living worship.
[ Setting ]
Then, without you even knowing, what happens is that the platform, the watchtower that emits light, and the antenna are established. You don’t need to know this. Why? Because they are established.
2. Sunday
In this way, you attend Sunday worship.
1) Acts 2:1-13
When you attend Sunday worship, what happens is that the work of being filled with the Holy Spirit occurs in Acts 2:1 through 13.
2) Acts 2:17-18
And the certain covenant is grasped. The future is seen.
3) Acts 2:42
And the flow of the Word is seen according to the apostle’s teaching. Because I am alive.
4) Acts 2:46-47
Not only to that extent, but the Word is fulfilled every day.
5) Absolute (6 Days)
Then, what kind of work is occurring during the six days? The works of the Word that you think have no relation to you, like the Remnant Conference and such, are continuously opening. In order to do the only evangelism in the actual world, we gather every Saturday. The Core. And the Prayer Journal in your hand that must record life. It comes out exactly. When this is connected to the meeting and worship, the Word that I absolutely must do is exactly grasped. Then works continue to occur. You come to offer worship and are surprised. “Oh! God [gave] me the answer.” It must be this way for you to be normal. While you are worshipping, the sermon is not what is important. While listening to God’s Word, [saying], “Ah, there was such a thing,” it must be this way for it to be normal. The thing our assistant pastors or workers must be careful of is that they cannot worship well. Because they must do work. It’s a disaster. I’m saying this must be seen. Because this is seen, it gives influence during the 6 days. Next, when you go again on Sunday of the next week, you go with anticipation, even knowing until what kind of message will be [given] today. Then, [you say], “Ah, as expected.” We look like we just live, but the Holy Spirit is completely dominating us. The non-believer looks like they just live, right? No. Darkness is dominating them all.
3. Summit
One day you become a Summit, but what becomes [of you]?
1) 24 (Bartizan)
24-hour prayer just happens. This is called the bartizan having stood. Right? The bartizan has stood. One day, if a happy thing suddenly occurs to you, that becomes 24. One day, if you receive a diagnosis of cancer, it becomes 24. Right? It’s the opposite word. That is called a bartizan. One day, prayer 24 begins to happen for me. Bartizan.
2) 25 (Journey)
Then, an answer comes that is absolutely not of your level. 25. This is called the Journey.
3) 00 (Guidepost)
Finally, your footprints come to be left. A masterpiece comes out. The way to save the posterity opens. That is called eternity, and this is the Guidepost.
What I have written now is prayer. If you know prayer, you know everything. Jesus spoke. “This kind cannot come out except by prayer.” Many people whose spiritual eyes are dark say, “Is it enough if we only pray?” but Jesus said it’s enough if you only pray. He told them to wait. Right? It’s not just waiting. “Wait for what was promised. Wait grasping that covenant. In a few days, the 300% filling of the Holy Spirit will occur. At that time, power will appear. Then you will become witnesses.” These are the words Jesus spoke. You must surely restore it.
Distance is not a problem. Right now, we are offering worship together in Seoul and Busan. Distance is not a problem. Right now, we are listening to the message together in more than 110 countries. Distance is not a problem. If you are at that level, you cannot world-evangelize. Distance is not a problem for the world. Prayer is transcending time and space.
▣ Introduction_ Triune, Throne – Angel, Darkness – Satan
Now, then, this Satan who knows this is trying to snatch this away. When you pray, I am saying the work of the Triune God occurs. Why is it like this? At this time, the work of the Triune God occurs. Invisibly. It shouldn’t be seen by the eye. It would be a disaster. Invisibly. The power of darkness is not seen by the eye. Therefore, it is ruining us. At this time, the power of the Throne completely descends and the heavenly armies of angels begin to work, they move, invisibly. At this time, darkness is bound and the authority of Satan is broken. During the time of praying. Satan knows this.
▣ Main Body
1. Worship Failure
Therefore, what is Satan’s very first goal? It is making you fail in worship. This is Satan’s first goal. You shouldn’t receive grace. It would be a disaster. It is making you fail in worship. When bored, they go to church and fall into trial and who said what—those are all foolish talks. You must succeed in worship through God.
1) Mt 4:1-11
Knowing this, looking at Matthew 4, I am saying Satan even appeared to Jesus. We are not even a problem. He appeared to Jesus. And he threw three things. Exactly knowing He was hungry, knowing He fasted, knowing He was hungry, he brought a stone that looked exactly like bread and said to make this into bread and eat it—such a thing. The Korean Bible said to make rice cake and eat it, but originally in the English, in the original text, it is to make bread and eat it. Jesus breaks [him] at once using the Word. Despite being Jesus, He broke [him] with the Word. Right? Second. He stimulated the sense of honor. I mean, if you stimulate the sense of honor, if you stimulate the pride, people do strange things. He spoke this way. “Are you not the Son of God? Jump off. Stand on the top of that temple and jump off. Then,” he even quotes the Bible. “Won’t the angel come and catch your feet?” Jesus again breaks [him] with the Word. “Do not test the Lord your God.”
The goal is the last thing. “I will give this immense world all to you.” While doing so, what did he say? “Just bow to me once.” This Satan does this. Satan’s goal is to change the object of your worship. Satan knows that if you offer worship correctly, it will be a disaster. Therefore, he snatches away worship. If all my problems are not resolved through offering worship, one should not fix God but fix me.
Exactly like this—this doesn’t take any time at all. You just start when you open your eyes. True prayer is simple. Resolving through prayer when you meet [someone]. Finding the answer from God by praying for my life to God. Then the gathered worship comes to life. Finally, the answer for seeing the world comes. Satan knows this. He tries to snatch away worship.
2) Gen 3:1-6
This is the incident that was set at the very first in the Garden of Eden. Right? “You don’t have to believe in God. No, if you eat this, you will become like God, so for what reason do you believe in God?” It came out like this. Does the world not teach people that way now? You do it right. Then it’s okay. Don’t [say] God. Exactly. They teach that way. I believe in myself. I believe in money. Therefore, I earn money. It sounds correct, doesn’t it? That is Satan’s message. Therefore, it is killing your soul. It is exactly like that.
3) Gen 4:1-7
Do you know what Genesis 4:1 through 7 is? God did not receive Cain’s worship. So he ended up killing Abel. The answer comes out in Hebrews 11:4. It said that offering testifies. Abel offered a blood sacrifice. Cain offered a grain sacrifice. In our words, a grain sacrifice is thanksgiving. Right? A blood sacrifice is salvation. It is completely different. Therefore, it’s enough to only snatch away the Gospel and worship. Worship is not the problem since he cannot snatch [it]? Therefore, he snatched away the Gospel. He snatches away the content of worship. Are you offering grains for Thanksgiving Day? It has no meaning. Right? What is Thanksgiving Day? It is the time for enjoying the background of the Throne. He makes you miss it all like this.
2. Original Man
Therefore, there is the original man blessing God gave, isn’t there? He keeps trying to collapse this. Three things are listed, aren’t they? Genesis 1:27, [mankind] was created in the image of God. And what is the first message? “Subdue and rule.” He is trying to snatch this away.
3. Blessing
The blessing man received—he is trying to snatch this. Therefore, in the Genesis 3 incident, because he is trying to snatch this blessing, God [said], “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” So, it’s enough to make them leave God. Because he is trying to snatch this, “You are important.” Everyone falls for this.
Please do not listen to any sounds; the husband and wife are all irrelevant. You are important. How the pastor is, how the elder is. Nothing is important. You are important. You must receive grace. This devil came and said, “Did God say not to eat?” Exactly picking a fight in this way. “You can eat, it’s okay if you eat, if you eat your eyes will be opened and you will become like God.” Then, suffering began to come continuously from then on. Even if you don’t look at this, it is in the regional message book, so please confirm it. He tries to make you fail in worship and tries to even snatch away the blessing received as the original man. Looking back, completely John 8:44, the devil is acting as your master invisibly.
It’s not to say that telling fortunes is correct. Why? Anyway, those people are wrong. They are inside that. They must do it. A fellow who follows a robber does the work of a robber. Right? It’s not that it’s correct, but it’s an unavoidable situation. One shouldn’t follow a robber, but as long as you follow, you must do it. It’s not that doing the work of a thief while following a thief is correct, but it’s unavoidable. One shouldn’t follow, but since you follow, you must do it. Because the devil is the master, they must do it. So they perish.
This is how the world looks now. If you open your eyes wide, the whole thing is seen. You don’t know what a thankful thing it is.
During today, I hope you obtain the strength God gives while doing deep prayer throughout the day. In Ephesians 2:1, it is the state of being dead in transgressions and sins by nature. My body looks like it’s alive, but my spirit is in a dead state. Looking back, you follow the one who has the power of the air. “No, why did I become like this?” they say, but no. You are by nature a child of wrath. This is Satan’s goal.
4. Cain
5. [ Way ]
Therefore, God opens the way. To make them not even know this. The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. They don’t know well, in fact. They don’t even know what the words mean. Therefore, even to Cain who committed a crime, He gave a stone and opened the way for living. He makes them not know what the Passover incident is or what the Three Feasts are. He makes them not know the way. The representative figure of that was Cain. Today’s text is the story of Abel and Cain. However, that story is something [you] know, and you must know the important content. Therefore, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work.” He did not say he destroys the devil. The devil is not destroyed. Because it is an eternal being. Therefore, it goes to hell. Hell is a prison to lock up the devil forever. It must naturally exist. Therefore, in Romans 10:9 and 10, “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” How were we saved? There is no way to be saved. What God gave—therefore, “because of grace”—if you could go somewhere and buy salvation with money, it would be fine, but there is no such way. Therefore, “because of grace.” Therefore, “to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” When Christ becomes the master, your history begins.
▣ Conclusion_ [ Posterity ]
Therefore, we make this known to the posterity.
1. Completeness of Christ
Go to the synagogue in Thessalonica in Acts 17:1 and explain the completeness of Christ. Everything is finished with Christ. Every problem becomes the start of a blessing.
2. Completeness of Worship
If you realize worship today, the Sabbath is not what is important; it explains the completeness of worship.
3. Completeness of Answer
Therefore, prayer becomes an answer, and it explained what the completeness of answer is. Jesus explained it and left, didn’t He? The Throne, the Kingdom, the affairs of God’s Kingdom.
With this, you must obtain strength today. If possible, on Sunday, while you grasp the deep covenant and pray, even the illnesses you are unaware of must be healed. There is one thing doctors do not know. What do they not know? Eating good food while feeling bad? It doesn’t help. Right? Eating even not-so-good food while feeling good? It helps. They don’t know that principle. When our hearts are hurt and we are angry, what happens to our body? They don’t know well. Therefore, when I am clothed in the filling of the Holy Spirit and pray with faith, what kind of work occurs? They absolutely do not know.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today becomes such a day. I will pray.
Prayer. God, may today become a day for being healed. May it be a day for spiritual eyes to open. Let us experience the power of the Throne. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
