Scripture Reading: Colossians 2:20-23

▣ Introduction

Thank you. In the past, because life was so hard, there is little that I feel nostalgic about. But when I hear Christmas carols, I feel a longing. I find myself wanting to go back to those days. For this I give thanks to God.

Why must we do missions? Because people do not understand this well, some pass over it indifferently. But Paul staked his very life on it. This is the blessing that you must also receive this week and for the remainder of this year.

Disasters – Colony, Law, Destruction, Church

Wherever Paul’s team went, disasters collapsed. What disasters? At that time, Israel was a colony of Rome, and they were perishing. Spiritually, everyone was dying. On top of this, Judaism, with no gospel at all, crushed people with the law. And it did not stop there: within a few years, Israel itself would be destroyed. In this situation, Paul’s team prepared disciples for the entire world. Wherever they went, the world’s disasters fell. You must believe that disasters collapse through your prayers. If you do not believe, 1 John 4:18–19 says that punishment follows. There is no greater sin than not believing this. Wherever you go, the work of disasters collapsing will surely arise.

In today’s passage, what was even more fearful? The church was engaging in strange things. Verse 20 says, “Since you died with Christ to the elemental spiritual forces of this world, why, as though you still belonged to the world, do you submit to its rules?” Things like this: “Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch” (v. 21). All these things will perish, and there is no need to follow human commands and teachings. Whether then or now, it is the same. At the end of verse 23 it says, “They lack any value.”

We are offering this dedication service for the 237 Missions Committee. Today I will speak on this.

「Only the Gospel, Only Prayer, Only Evangelism」

(The things of the world – The things of God, the things belonging to the flesh – The things belonging to the Spirit)

Why is it not just “the gospel” but “only the gospel”? Because Satan knows. Why are we not just prayer, but only prayer? Why not just evangelism, but only evangelism? Because all the forces of darkness collapse through these.

Today’s passage reveals the difference between the things of the world and the things of God, the things belonging to the flesh and the things belonging to the Spirit. The world is not the object of curses but what must be saved. The things of the world and the things of God are different. Many people live only for what belongs to the flesh. We must live for what belongs to the Spirit.

So why must we do world missions for the rest of the year? Because wherever Paul’s team proclaimed the name of Christ, disasters collapsed. You must know why.

▣ Main Point

1. The 7 Bartizans

In verse 23 it says, “They lack any value.” We must quickly plant the 7 bartizans.

[1, 3, 8] The 7 bartizans come from Christ, the kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit. You already know this. Plant them quickly.

1. Matthew 12:26–30; 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 – We must break down Satan’s bartizans. There is nothing more important. Build the bartizan of the throne and destroy the strongholds of Satan.
2. Imprint (40 days) – Imprint this completely. That is why they prayed for 40 days. Because you already have the answer, simply pray this and disasters will flee. No matter how much you try, they will not flee otherwise. Only Christ, only the kingdom of God, only the Holy Spirit.
3. Apostles – In today’s text, Paul explained how even the apostles interfered with the gospel. They did not know what the gospel was, what the law was, or what disasters were. They followed Paul around and told people, “You must be circumcised,” “You must keep Jewish law.” Such nonsense. This is why Israel completely collapsed.

This week, as you pray, may all disasters around you collapse. That is missions.

2. The 7 Journeys

What is missions? It is planting the bartizan and making people walk the 7 journeys.

[The Three Feasts] The starting point is the feasts. Passover—salvation. Pentecost—the power of God. Tabernacles—the background of the throne. This is the journey. As you walk this journey, all the forces of darkness collapse.

You know the 7 journeys.

1. Root – These truths must take root in you.
2. Healing – As the background of the throne takes root, healing arises for many people.

This is missions: the salvation of souls, and the blocking of disasters in the world. That is why the name of Christ is enough, because He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” Even when it looks like you are failing, you will not fail but will conquer the world.

See the evidence: they reached Rome, though they had no power. Believe it. God transforms you through the 7 bartizans. God transforms the field through the journey of the throne. That is why missions blocks disasters and shines the light in the darkness.

3. The 7 Guideposts

Missions means leaving the footprints of Christ—the 7 guideposts.

[Footprints] What footprints do we leave?

1. 300% – From now on, you will receive the footprints of 300% answers.
2. Regions – The 7 regions: Mount Calvary, Mount Olive, Mark’s Upper Room, Antioch, Asia, Macedonia, Rome. These regions encompassed the entire world.
3. Absolute Revival – When the guideposts of the throne were set, absolute bartizans rose and absolute revival began.

So we must receive answers and go into missions. Churches hearing the gospel today must hold onto the covenant, experience revival, and do world evangelization. If you say, “I have no prayer answers,” then you must change. You cannot change God, so you must change yourself. Find the blessings that will allow you to do world missions. That is evangelism and missions. Missions blocks disasters and shines the light in the darkness.

▣ Conclusion

Do not just leave today without receiving something.

1. Mission (Answer) – When you finish hearing the message, confirm: What mission did God give me today? Through the first and second service, what is today’s answer? Confirm it. Otherwise, why attend worship? Every Sunday, ask: “What did God prepare for me today?” There is always something.
2. The Week (Message) – Carry it with you and pray with it for the week. Then all other gatherings and messages will connect. The work of God begins. Where you go, diseases will flee. The powers of Satan will be bound.
3. The Flow of Answers – Then you will begin to see the flow of answers. Joseph knew clearly when he went as a slave that he was going for world missions. That was enough. Moses did not realize until age 80 that he was sent for missions, but when God appeared and said, “Offer the blood sacrifice,” that was everything. “Go to shine the light that conquers disasters. I will raise My mighty hand and be with you.” That answer is mine, and it is yours.

Samuel and David realized this flow early. That is why we are doing the remnant movement. Samuel, from childhood, let none of his words fall to the ground. David held the covenant from youth and said, “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon me.” If you know, it is fine whatever happens.

Think of movies: when the main character is near death at the beginning, I never worry. I know, “He won’t die. If he dies, there is no movie.” If he does die, that is the last scene. Likewise, you will not die until you finish your mission. Know this. Even if hardships and persecution come, we must do world evangelization.

This week, as the year ends, may all disasters collapse through your prayers. May you be the main figures of the 237 missions movement and world evangelization. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. Father God, we thank You. Break down the darkness. May the disasters that no one else can solve collapse in the name of Christ. Make us the 237 missions movement that shines only the light of Christ to nations perishing in destruction. Raise us to save the 5000 tribes who have collapsed. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Colossians 2:6-15

---

Moses repeatedly said one thing to Joshua: “Do not fear. Be strong. Do not be dismayed.” He kept saying these words again and again. The early church and even Paul also said, “Do not worry.” Why was this emphasized so much? Today’s passage reveals the reason: it warns us against empty deception. In verse 8, the Scripture explains this in detail. Therefore, we must build a church and a temple that do not fall into empty deception. Is the church the same as the temple? They can be the same, but they are not always identical. You are the church, but the building where we gather to worship is the temple.

▣ Introduction

The reality is that 99.9% of people are being deceived and falling. In today’s passage, it speaks of “empty deception.” That’s 99.9%.

1. Evidence

There is undeniable evidence of this deception.

1) Genesis 3, 6, 11

Throughout history, among many powerful nations, this same pattern has always existed. This is what is destroying people even today. It is the trap Satan set from the beginning. People thought they could become like God, but instead, they became Nephilim. They said, “Let us build,” and they exerted their strength, but the result was the Tower of Babel. This is why in your walk of faith, what matters is not simply whether you receive answers or not. You must clearly understand these spiritual problems first.

2) Acts 13, 16, 19

When people fail to find true answers, they inevitably fall into idols, superstitions, and religion. These things become frameworks that completely enslave them.

3) John 8:44

That’s why, starting from John 8:44, it explains that people are trapped in six snares, beginning with “your father, the devil.”

2. Witnesses

For this reason, at every critical moment in history, God raised up witnesses.

1. Evidence (Empty Toil)

What is the evidence? It is all empty toil. We must avoid this at all costs. The church must not waste its energy on meaningless toil.

2. Witnesses

1) Disasters – Remnant Economy

If you study the Bible carefully, you will see that every time an age of disaster came, God always raised up the remnants. And what did the remnants do? They restored the remnant economy. Everywhere the remnants went, kings were revived, and through them, the 237 nations and 5000 tribes were revived as well.

2) Missions Economy – Covenant

Through many church leaders, God restored the missions economy. How was this restoration possible? The Bible shows one common factor, and this is the part you must hold onto today. Over and over, Scripture records: “The Word of the Lord came to Moses.” “The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.” This is the answer. For those who are not saved, this cannot be understood. But for those who are saved, when the Word of the Lord comes upon them, everything else comes together. Still, many people waste their efforts chasing empty things. Through you, and through the remnants, world evangelization must surely take place.

3) Economy of Light – Tabernacle, David, Temple Reconstruction

So then, what is the economy of light? In the wilderness, God revived everything through the tabernacle-centered ministry. That is the temple. When God prepared the temple through David, He poured out the economy of light abundantly. And even after it was lost, when God commanded the reconstruction of the temple, He declared, “I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and all the nations.” Hold tightly to this covenant today.

3. Disciples to Proclaim the Gospel

There is one more thing. This week, you must make a resolution. There is a difference between a disciple who proclaims the gospel and a church that proclaims the gospel. When persecution and trials come, disciples who proclaim the gospel will rise, but those who do not proclaim the gospel will fall.

1) Covenant

You must understand this clearly. Disciples who proclaim the gospel have no personal reasons, no calculations, and no conditions. They hold onto one thing only — the covenant.

2) Relationship

It is only about maintaining your relationship with God.

3) Identity

It is only about knowing your identity. Many lose hold of God’s answers because they fail to understand this. Paul warned passionately in Colossians 2, “Do not waste your effort.” In Colossians 2:3, it says, “In Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” And in verse 8, it warns, “See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, which depend on human traditions and the elementary principles of the world, rather than on Christ.” Therefore, as we offer this temple dedication service, we must first understand what the temple truly means.

▣ Main Point

If you remember these three things, God’s answers will surely come upon you.

1. Individual (7)

You, the believers, are God’s temple. In verses 6 and 7, it says, “Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught.” This means that you, as a saved child of God, are His temple. If you lose hold of this and focus only on building a physical structure, it would be meaningless.

2. Field (15)

Secondly, your workplace field, your meeting field, and all your relationships — these are also the temple. In verse 15, it says, “Christ disarmed the rulers and authorities and triumphed over them by the cross.” This means everything in the field must be centered on Christ.

3. Church Building

Third, the physical place where we gather for worship — the church building — is also the temple. Paul explains this further.

1. Individual (7)

1) John 1:11, 12

In John 1:11–12, it says, “Jesus Christ came as the Light. To those who received Him and believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” This Light has already come upon you. Do not be discouraged. Wait upon God, and He will surely carry out the gospel movement through you. Throughout history, two battles have continued: the Jews faced disasters for generations, but the early church fulfilled world evangelization. Do not be deceived; hold firmly to this.

2) 1 Corinthians 3:16

In 1 Corinthians 3:16, it says, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” Do not be deceived by empty things.

3) Philippians 2:13

In Philippians 2:13, it says, “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.” God has made you His temple and placed His good will within you.

4) 1 Peter 2:9

In 1 Peter 2:9, it says, “God has called you as His holy people to proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light.” When you worship on Sunday, carefully confirm God’s Word and look at it prayerfully. Even just doing that will bring God’s answers because you are the temple.

5) Resurrection

That is why, when Jesus resurrected, He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Therefore, go in My name. In My name, drive out demons and lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” He promised to be with you always.

2. Field

At that moment, God makes your meetings and your fields into the temple.

1) Remnant 7

For the 7 remnants, everywhere they went became the temple. Do not lose hold of this. Starting tomorrow, wherever you go — your workplace, your business, your school — that place is the temple. Why? Because God’s Spirit is with you there. A palace is called a palace because the king is there. Even if a house looks luxurious, if only beggars gather there, it becomes a den of beggars. But even if a house is shabby, if the king dwells there, it is still a palace. Wherever you go, confess boldly: “Because the Holy Spirit works here, this place is the temple.” The 7 remnants always displayed the evidence that God was with them.

2) Hebrews 11

If you look at all the heroes of faith in Hebrews 11, you see this same reality in their lives.

3) The Remaining Ones, Pilgrims, and Conquerors

God called the disciples of the early church as the remaining ones. Everywhere they went, God’s kingdom came upon them. God called them pilgrims to carry His covenant wherever they went. Pastors must receive God’s answers while preparing the message. Church leaders must receive God’s answers while serving in worship. God has also called you as conquerors to stand as His witnesses.

3. Church Building

So then, why do we build a church building? This is important.

1) Most Holy Place and Holy Place

The church building where the gospel is proclaimed is where the Most Holy Place and Holy Place are united as one. That is the temple.

2) Priests 24

This is where the priests stand and carry out prayer 24 hours a day.

3) Three Courtyards 24

Most importantly, in verse 10 it says, “In Christ all fullness dwells, and He has given you that fullness.” This includes the three courtyards 24. This is why we build the temple. Yes, we can worship anywhere, but unless there is a place where the three courtyards can take place 24 hours a day, it cannot truly fulfill God’s design for the temple. The first blessing you must hold onto is that you, personally, are the temple. Then, wherever you go tomorrow — your workplace, your business, your school — that is the temple. Finally, the church building becomes the place where the 237 nations and 5000 tribes can gather to enjoy 24, 25, and eternity. Hold tightly to this covenant and pray.

▣ Conclusion

This week, hold onto this conclusion and pray.

1. 237

The standard of the answers you must hold onto is 237.

2. 5000

The blessings your future generations will receive are connected to the 5000 tribes.

3. Three Courtyards

Build the three courtyards that have disappeared from the earth.

4. The Three-Day Weekend Age

Next, open the three-day weekend age to save the next generation. Pray only for this and enter deeply into prayer. Elders prayed today, didn’t they? Do not simply sit and wait. If you just wait, that time becomes spiritually meaningless. When the elder prays, don’t sit wondering when it will end — enter into prayer together. When hymns are sung and the choir praises, even if you don’t understand their process, you must still enter into prayer. When the Word is proclaimed, don’t stare at the pastor — enter into prayer inside God’s Word. That is the key. Spiritual doors open during these times.

If you do not understand the blessings of the 237 nations and 5000 tribes, your future generations will struggle to survive. A new era is coming — an age where physical money will no longer be used. This shift is happening quickly. Blockchain technology is spreading rapidly, and ignoring it would be unwise. Cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin have already skyrocketed. Even leaders like Trump have publicly stated this is the direction we must move toward. This shows how inevitable this new era has become. And where will the world’s focus be? Right here — on the movement of 237 nations and 5000 tribes. You must pray earnestly for this. Otherwise, we may lose the opportunity.

That is why remnants must pray. If we fail to understand the meaning of the three courtyards, many churches will have no choice but to close their doors. If we do not prepare for the three-day weekend age, we cannot save the next generation.

5. Holy Meditation Age

If we do not understand the holy meditation age, we cannot bring healing to ourselves or to the world. That is why we must hold onto this covenant and build the temple — within ourselves, within our fields, and within our gatherings.

This week, I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that you may receive great answers in your prayers. Follow the flow of God’s Word and the flow of God’s answers. This does not mean just studying the Bible for knowledge; it means aligning yourself with God’s working and guidance.

There are many important guests here today who came from overseas. Please pay attention to them and pray for them, because they must return with this blessing. The many multiethnic people in our church and the remnants who are here must leave knowing what true prayer is. You must also come to understand what 300% means for your life and work.

That is why this week is not simply about constructing a physical temple. There are already many church buildings. Our calling is to establish a temple where 24-hour prayer, 237 nations, 5000 tribes, the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age are all fulfilled together. Later, you will see why this was so important.

Therefore, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that your prayer of faith will continue without ceasing starting this week. Churches in places like Ulsan and Changwon are preparing, but this cannot be done casually. You must become people of prayer and restore God’s blessings. Do not settle for false blessings. Do not be deceived by empty things. Even now, in our Imse region, we are preparing extensively. Our church has the perfect conditions for restoring the three courtyards. I bless you, in the name of Jesus Christ, to receive this blessing this week.

Prayer. Father God, we thank You. May today’s covenant be fulfilled throughout these six days and be connected to answers for our entire lifetime. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

▣ Introduction: The Answer You Must Find in Your Lifetime

※ Like Bartimaeus and Paul, you must meet Christ and completely find the answer.

Today’s passage contains Paul’s confession, which had the greatest influence on the world. Therefore, you must also receive this answer.

Blind Bartimaeus realized that Jesus was passing by, so he shouted. Because he couldn’t see where Jesus was, he just kept shouting loudly. Many people, including the disciples, told him to be quiet because he was being noisy. But Jesus stopped in front of Bartimaeus. He asked, “What do you want Me to do for you?” He replied, “I want to see.” Then Jesus said, “Let it be done according to your faith.” At that very moment, the work of God happened.

Paul, too, encountered Christ on his way to Damascus, and he became one of the most greatly used individuals in history.

So then, since you are qualified to receive answers, you must truly hold on to this covenant earnestly, like Bartimaeus. And just like Paul, you must find the complete answer.

1. What you must experience at least once in your lifetime

Now, today, within this important timetable of receiving answers, there is something you must see at least once in your lifetime, as mentioned in the introduction. Because you are a Christian, you must absolutely possess this one thing. What is it?

1) Problems continue because people have not met God or do not have a relationship with Him

There are many problems people face in life. But the answer is only one: these problems continue because they have not met God.

Some may say, “But I believe in God.” Yet the reason problems persist is that they have not actually formed a true relationship with God.

2) God promised the Christ

God made one important promise. What promise? In the Old Testament, God continuously promised to send Christ. The Old Testament is not about anything else—it’s the promise that Christ would come.

In the New Testament, the four Gospels reveal the key message: Christ has come. The remaining books, from the Acts of the Apostles to the Book of Revelation, provide evidence of this fulfillment.

3) In Christ are hidden all treasures of wisdom and knowledge (Colossians 2:3)

In today’s passage, it says, “All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ.” You must experience this reality.

(1) Be rooted, imprinted, and transformed in Christ – You must be completely addicted to Christ (Acts 9:1-15)

For Paul, nothing could solve his problem until he encountered Christ on his way to Damascus.

Imagine this: a bright light suddenly shone from above so intensely that Paul fell to the ground and couldn’t open his eyes. While lying there, he heard a voice calling his name: “Saul, Saul.” That was Paul’s Hebrew name. He asked, “Who are You, Lord?” and the voice replied, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.”

In that moment, Paul discovered the complete answer. All of his confusion became clear: “Ah, so this is what it was!” He had studied the Scriptures extensively, yet something about the Jewish interpretation had been wrong.

From that point, Paul became completely imprinted in Christ, rooted in Christ, and transformed in his very nature by Christ. This must happen at least once in your life.

This is what we call addiction—being so consumed with Christ that He defines your very being. Successful people are always “addicted” to something good, while those who fail are inevitably “addicted” to things that lead them to failure.

(2) If you become addicted to Christ, healing inevitably comes and the world is transformed

Once you are addicted to Christ, healing takes place without fail, and the world is changed. That is why Paul confessed, “All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Him.” This is the confession of the one who saved the world. You must firmly hold onto this truth.

Paul became fully imprinted, rooted, and transformed in Christ, to the point where he was completely “addicted” to doing everything in Christ.

(3) Without Christ, you fall into darkness (↔ wisdom), stubbornness (↔ knowledge), and disaster (↔ treasure)

When you become addicted to Christ, healing happens without fail, and the world is transformed. Why? Because in Christ are hidden all treasures of wisdom, knowledge, and every answer.

What is the opposite of wisdom? Darkness. Without Christ, you are bound to fall into spiritual darkness.

What is the opposite of knowledge? Stubbornness. Without the true knowledge of God, people become trapped in their own pride and limited understanding.

And what happens without the treasures hidden in Christ? People inevitably fall into disaster.

2. Evidence

Let us briefly look at the evidence first, starting with historical evidence.

1) Powerful nations – They only fought to conquer, but they have never received the proper answer

Throughout history, powerful nations have never once received the correct answer. Isn’t that true? Not once. Even today, it’s the same. They only roar and fight to conquer.

2) The Jews – They fell into disasters because they did not know Christ

As you know, the Jews have never properly received the answer either. Because they did not know the Gospel and did not know Christ, they continued to fall into disasters.

3) The 5000 tribes – Living under curses

In the same way, the 5000 tribes of the world are living under curses. This is still the reality today.

3. The background of disasters – Satan’s strategy

But where did these disasters come from?

1) The incident in the Garden of Eden – Satan said, “Do not believe in God; you can become like God”

From the very beginning, Satan used a strategy. That was the incident in the Garden of Eden. He whispered, “Do not believe in God. You can become like God.”

This is a serious matter. Even today, countless books and teachings promote this same idea: “Discover the king within you,” “Find the hero inside you.” These sound like good messages, don’t they? But through these messages, Satan continues to lead people astray—even pastors who unknowingly preach such ideas because they’ve read these books.

2) Driving humanity toward the Nephilim

I’ve mentioned this before. One time, while flying on a plane, I came across a documentary about Michael Jackson. Since it was available, I watched it for about an hour and a half.

As expected, his singing and dancing were extraordinary—on another level. But what struck me most was the hidden agenda behind it. There’s a deliberate program designed to lead people step by step toward a specific ideology.

Near the end of the documentary, his performances turned into New Age messages. I was shocked. He kept repeating these ideas over and over, moving from singing to constant storytelling. Truly, he was a genius—the way he danced was unbelievable. But in the end, these messages are deeply spiritual. It’s connected to the Nephilim. This is how Satan drives humanity.

3) Struggling and inevitably falling into idols

As a result, people end up struggling, seeking answers in idols and false solutions. There’s no way around it.

4) Today’s age – Mental illness, spiritual illness, drug addiction, confusion, and survival-driven living

Look at today’s world: we are living in an age of widespread mental illness, spiritual diseases, and massive drug epidemics.

Even more frightening is that people have no answers and don’t know where to go. So, they live desperately, struggling just to survive, pursuing only what’s immediately in front of them.

※ During worship, you must find the answer in Christ. When you are imprinted, rooted, and transformed in Christ, your destiny is reversed.

Today, as you worship, you must experience this at least once—finding your complete answer in Christ.

If you try to find answers elsewhere, you will never overcome disasters. But when you are imprinted, rooted, and transformed in Christ, your entire destiny changes.

So, what should you hold on to today? That’s the key question.

▣ Main Message: Hold on to the accurate covenant

Today, Paul spoke about three key things. You must hold on to these right now. When you hold on to the accurate covenant, it becomes your contract with God.

For example, in business, two people don’t make a contract just by talking a lot. The agreement happens when both parties’ conditions match.

In the same way, when you accurately hold onto God’s Word, a spiritual “contract” is made. That’s when answers begin to come. This is extremely important.

I’ve shared this before: I have no great skills or special achievements. I simply held on to one accurate covenant.

Jesus did not say, “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will become wealthy.” That’s a given. What He said was, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses.” (Acts 1:8)

These were His last words. There are many pastors today, but churches are shrinking. Even in America, where world-renowned seminaries exist, churches are closing. Something’s wrong, isn’t it?

So, I decided to hold on to the covenant of “Only.” Jesus didn’t say, “Share the Gospel.” He said, “Only the Gospel.” He didn’t say, “Receive the Spirit.” He said, “Only the Holy Spirit.” That’s the key.

By simply holding onto this covenant, I have continually experienced God’s guidance in my life up to now.

From this point on, the answer you must find for your lifetime has already been explained in the introduction. Now, starting today, every time you worship, you must grab hold of the accurate covenant each week.

We can see this summarized in three areas.

1. The absolute – The mystery of Christ (verse 2)

Verse 2 says, “That they may know the mystery of Christ.”

This means you must hold onto the absolute truth. How can you attend worship and just leave without grabbing hold of anything? You must hold onto what is absolute.

1) Genesis 3:15 – Christ will crush the authority of darkness and Satan

The mystery of Christ begins here: “The seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” You must hold onto this. Jesus Christ will destroy the authority of Satan and the darkness that seeks to destroy you.

2) Exodus 3:18 – The day of the blood sacrifice is the day of Exodus

On the day the blood sacrifice was given, God delivered His people.

3) Isaiah 7:14 – During captivity, Immanuel

During Israel’s captivity, God promised, “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.”

4) Matthew 16:16 – During Roman colonization, the confession of Christ

When Israel was under Roman rule, Peter confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”

5) Romans 1:16-17 – The Gospel as the power of salvation during Paul’s era and Luther’s Reformation

Paul, under intense persecution, declared, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes… The righteous will live by faith.”

Through this covenant, the Roman Empire was overturned. Likewise, Martin Luther held onto this same covenant and brought transformation to the medieval church.

6) Philippians 3:21 – The Name that brings all things into submission

Philippians 3:21 says, “All things are brought into submission under that Name.” Yet many people—even pastors—don’t believe this, which makes evangelism difficult and ministry burdensome.

You must believe this truth and hold onto it throughout the week.

2. Hidden in Christ – All wisdom, knowledge, and treasure (verse 3)

Verse 3 says, “In whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Hold onto this today. As you pray, the answers may not come instantly, but they will surely come at God’s appointed time.

1) Wisdom – What God foretold through His Word

Wisdom is not complicated. It is simply seeing what God has foretold in His Word.

2) Knowledge – The parts of God’s Word that have already been fulfilled

Knowledge refers to the true understanding that comes when you see God’s promises fulfilled in history and in your life.

3) Treasures – Enjoying the threefold office of Christ

“All treasures are hidden in Christ.” Within Christ, we enjoy His threefold office.

(1) The true King who destroys Satan, the true Priest who removes disasters, and the true Prophet who reveals salvation

Christ, the true King, destroys the works of Satan that shake the entire world. There is no way to escape disaster except through Christ, the true Priest. And only the true Prophet reveals the way of salvation.

(2) The three feasts – Passover, Pentecost, and Tabernacles

In the Old Testament, these were prophesied through the three feasts:

Passover – The day the blood of the Lamb was applied, freedom came.
Pentecost – While traveling through the wilderness, God promised, “I will be with you in power.”
Tabernacles – Our eternal background is heaven itself.

This is the treasure hidden in Christ. The moment you believe, the door to answers opens.

(3) The bartizan, journey, and guidepost Jesus spoke of last

Before His ascension, Jesus spoke of the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost.

As I prayed over these words, I discovered seven key aspects in each. But for you, it may be different—you may see a hundred aspects, and that’s okay. All of this is hidden within Christ.

3. The eternal – Do not be deceived by reality; God is with you through the Holy Spirit (verses 4-5)

The third point comes from verse 5: “Though I am absent in body, I am with you in spirit.”

In verse 4, Paul warns: “Do not let anyone deceive you with persuasive words.” God is with you, working through the Holy Spirit in your field and within you.

What is this? It’s the eternal truth. The work of the Holy Spirit is eternal. Hold onto this.

1) John 14:16 – The Holy Spirit will be with you forever

Jesus promised, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever.”

2) John 14:26 – The Holy Spirit will remind you of everything when you pray

When you pray, the Spirit makes you remember everything you need.

3) John 16:13 – The Holy Spirit will reveal what is to come

Jesus promised, “The Spirit will guide you into all truth and show you what is to come.”

Hold onto this covenant firmly.

※ Be completely imprinted with Christ and the secret of 7·7·7

We often want to fix our broken bodies, don’t we? That’s natural. But if you truly want healing, you must do it differently: become completely imprinted with Christ through the 7·7·7 secret.

Just like drug addicts are imprinted at the brain level, you must be imprinted with Christ.

I once met a man in Taiwan who had been a gangster and a drug addict. After receiving the Gospel, he experienced tremendous grace and was completely transformed. He said he no longer even thought about drugs. Now, he goes to prisons to evangelize.

This is the power of being imprinted in Christ. Therefore, every Sunday, the goal of the main message is to hold onto the accurate covenant.

▣ Conclusion: Resolution

So, as you leave today, what resolution should you make?

1. What you must pray for

You must resolve what to hold onto and pray for throughout the week.

1) The three years of Jesus’ public ministry – Pray for the indwelling of the Holy Spirit forever

One day, while reading Scripture, I asked myself, “What did Jesus really teach in His three years of ministry?” I realized that His entire message could be summarized as this: “The Holy Spirit, the Advocate, will be with you forever.”

He then told us to pray for this promise.

2) The 40 days on Mt Olive – Pray for God’s Kingdom

After His resurrection, Jesus gathered His disciples and explained the matters of God’s Kingdom for 40 days. I began praying earnestly for 40 days about God’s Kingdom. Even though at first there were no immediate results, later I discovered that God had used this prayer to open the way for oneness and tremendous answers.

3) The Upper Room of Mark – Holding onto the mission from Mt Olive, they prayed, and the works began

After receiving the mission on Mt Olive, the disciples prayed in the Upper Room of Mark. That was when God’s powerful works began.

4) Sundays – The day when answers are revealed; listen to what God wants

From then on, I began to see the importance of Sundays. I didn’t fully understand it before, but Sundays are the day when God reveals His answers.

That’s why my prayer on Saturdays became: “Lord, let me deliver only what You desire.” You should not just hear my sermon—you must listen for what God wants to say to you.

5) Daily – Seeing God’s Word being fulfilled

Eventually, I also began to see God’s Word being fulfilled every single day.

6) Scheduled prayer

One day, I started practicing scheduled prayer—a little in the morning, sometimes skipping, sometimes returning to it. But over time, it became my lifestyle.

7) 24, 25, eternity – The true answers

Finally, I began to experience the true answers: 24, 25, and eternity.

24 – enjoying constant prayer and strength
25 – experiencing the power of God’s Kingdom beyond time and space
Eternity – entering into God’s everlasting answers

When I enjoy 24, I find happiness and strength, even during difficulties. There’s no time for complaining; I’m too busy receiving answers and delivering God’s message.

Even recently, when we visited the U.S., God raised up even more prepared disciples. I was amazed. From here, multiethnic disciples will continue to rise and glorify God. Wherever you go, disasters will crumble, and the authority of Satan will be broken.

This is the blessing God has given you.

2. Today’s covenant

1) Be imprinted with the fact that all wisdom, knowledge, and treasures are in Christ

Today’s message is extremely important. You must become imprinted with this truth—that everything is hidden in Christ.

2) See the accurate covenant every week – Everything is concluded in worship

From today onward, each week, you must see the accurate covenant and resolve everything through worship. That’s how exact and complete God’s work is.

3) Resolution – Delivering the power of the covenant to the field

This resolution is connected to your mission. The power of God’s covenant and the authority of Christ must be delivered into your workplaces, schools, and mission fields. This naturally leads to evangelism and missions.

3. Suffering and difficulties are the best timetable

Finally, Paul was saying these words from prison. Yet through this, God fulfilled world evangelization.

If you are facing suffering today, know that this could be your best timetable. At the time, you may not realize it, but understanding this is critical.

Even our remnants say, “My field is too difficult right now.” That’s okay—this could be the best time for you.

Even in America, disciples are gathering and worshipping together powerfully. When you return to your churches, there may be challenges, but through God’s covenant, you can turn them into the best opportunities.

Hold onto this covenant.

Today, if anyone here is sick, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to experience complete healing.

To our elders and church leaders, I bless you to receive new spiritual strength from the Scriptures.

And to our remnants all over the world, I bless you in Jesus Christ’s name to gain the power to stand strong even when you are alone.

Prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank You. Help us to enjoy the reality that all wisdom, knowledge, and treasures are hidden in Christ. Allow us to hold onto the accurate covenant today in our field. Let us see Your works unfold this week as we hold onto this answer. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

2024.09.12 – The 19th North America Businesspersons Evangelism Conference, Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-14

▣ Introduction
We must absolutely remember the final message that Jesus gave us. Jesus gave us God’s bartizan, and He directly explained why. Jesus said that although the Jews claimed to believe in God, there was a bartizan given by Satan among them. In a way, that’s a terrifying statement. And as a result, the Jews were all destroyed, weren’t they?

The second point is this: build a fortress greater than the one God gave. The Bible records this. Inside this covenant, there is a fortress. The English word is “strongholds,” which means a fortress. In Korean it’s sometimes translated as “house,” but the deeper meaning is a fortified spiritual base.

The Corinthian church was constantly fighting, so God said, “Build God’s fortress.” You must remember these three things.

Today’s focus: Build God’s kingdom. This is an even greater matter. Why is that?

We must begin by looking at Jesus’ own words. In John 16:11, Jesus said clearly that people are living inside Satan’s kingdom. He was speaking directly to the ruler of this world, Satan. In 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, Paul calls him the “god of this world.”

Therefore, we must pray the way Jesus commanded us to pray. There are many misunderstandings about prayer. I once started reading a book by Hudson Taylor but didn’t finish it. It contained stories like, “I went somewhere and suddenly got money,” or “I had no money, but suddenly it came from somewhere.” Those sound impressive, especially for missionaries, but are those really answers? Not necessarily — those are circumstances God allows, but that’s not the essence of prayer.

Prayer begins by first creating the spiritual world. That’s destiny. It will never disappear. Prayer moves the mental world, and eventually, it becomes revealed in the physical world.

I came to the U.S. and attended this Industrial Workers Conference, joining this assembly. Is there a greater answer than this? There isn’t. Do you think an answer only happens when something suddenly drops from the sky? That’s not true. Many people simply don’t understand prayer.

So don’t be discouraged. Even many pastors don’t preach about this. They often teach the very things Jesus said not to do. But Jesus clearly said that the spiritual world must be established first.

That’s why, through prayer, you must now build your bartizan, your fortress, and God’s kingdom. People of the world are trapped under Satan’s rule, and even the Pharisee synagogues of that time had fallen into this state. Jesus pointed this out directly.

1. Rome
   Eventually, this became the Roman church, and world evangelization spread from there. But the Roman church began to teach salvation by works. Among their teachings, they emphasized seven sacraments. For example, confession may seem unusual, but understandable. However, they also taught about “last rites,” saying, “You don’t know whether you’re saved or not, so before you die, you must receive this sacrament, and then you’ll enter heaven.” And then they said, “If you give more money, you go straight to heaven.” That’s why the Catholic Church became wealthy.

Even worse, they sold indulgences, saying, “If you pay money, your sins will be forgiven.” This is absurd. They were building one of Satan’s bartizans — spiritual systems created to deceive people.

2. 3 Organizations
   Next, there are the three organizations. They’ve built their own spiritual kingdoms completely. Members of the New Age movement boldly state, “We don’t believe in God. We worship Satan.” They openly confess this.

The Freemasons are another example. People who just take pictures of Masonic symbols are not real members. The true members are involved in spirit-channeling movements tied to the Nephilim. It’s terrifying.

3. USA
   And now, let’s look at the United States. If you think America is exempt from this, you’re mistaken. Do you know why you are so important? Because America has become a country where the Gospel has nearly disappeared. These three organizations are most active in America.

At the same time, the nation pushes agendas like “Don’t discriminate against religions” and “Don’t discriminate by gender.” On the surface, these sound reasonable, but in reality, they are removing the foundation of Christ. They even say, “Don’t speak about Christ.” They’ve removed Christ from Christmas. Satan is working aggressively in this age.

▣ Main
Therefore, you, especially those involved in spiritual work, must do certain things within this battlefield.

God’s masterpiece
In the midst of this, God calls you to create His masterpiece.

① 300% – 3 Concentrations, 3 Settings, 3 Answers
Especially for those in spiritual work, you must set up your three settings so that 300% of your life aligns with them. Morning, noon, and night, focus deeply. When you do this, your bartizan, your fortress, and God’s kingdom will be set up without fail. But if you live with constant unbelief, anger, and complaining, your spiritual settings will form a completely different fortress — one built on the wrong foundation.

② 7/7/7
Start with the confession, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” From there, God has guided us to the 5,000 tribes. Together with pastors and leaders, I’ve traveled worldwide confirming God’s Word and seeing how He fulfills His promises.

You must become the key people for the three-day weekend age, the three courtyards, and the TCK (Third Culture Kids) movement.

③ Individual / Church / Industry / Policy / Next
God is calling you to personalize this covenant, apply it to your church, expand it into your work field, influence policies, and raise the next generation. That’s the masterpiece God wants to create through you. When you pray continually — when you live in 24-hour prayer — God will make it happen naturally.

That’s why Jesus commanded, “Go and proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is near.” He taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come.” He said, “Don’t pray for all these things, because your Father already knows what you need. Instead, seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

For 40 days, Jesus spoke about this before He ascended: build God’s bartizan, build God’s fortress, and build God’s kingdom. Yet today, many don’t believe this, and many churches don’t teach it.

If you truly build God’s system, everything else follows automatically. You don’t need to waste your prayers asking for food, money, or success. When God’s bartizan is established, everything else comes after: “All these things will be added to you.”

Remnants, study while praying this prayer through three concentrations. Later, this will influence policies and raise the next generation. This is how your life becomes God’s masterpiece.

 

1. Eternal
   This blessing has existed since before eternity. From the very beginning, this blessing has always been present.

1) Exodus 5:1–12:46
In Exodus 5:1 through 12:46, the power of the throne — this authority of God — was revealed to Moses. That power had always existed beforehand, but God revealed this power each time a crisis arose.

2) 1 Samuel 7:9
In 1 Samuel 7:9, during the Mizpah Movement, this same power was already there. They offered a blood sacrifice, and during the time of the sacrifice, God caused a natural disaster to strike the Philistines who attacked, and He crushed them. That same power was revealed then.

3) 2 Kings 6:8–24
In 2 Kings 6:8–24, we see that as they held onto the covenant and prayed, God’s power was at work through the Dothan Movement. The power revealed during Mizpah was the same power that had already been revealed during the Exodus.

4) Isaiah 6:13, 7:14
As you know, those who understood Isaiah 6:13 and Isaiah 7:14 — people like Daniel and his three friends — began to experience the power of the throne even in Babylon. There’s no doubt about this.

5) Romans 16
In Romans 16, God raised up people in the same way. He used them the same way He used those before them. This is the answer God has prepared for all of you who are involved in work. Don’t be deceived.

First, establish your spiritual world, and it will lead into your mental world. Once your spiritual world is made, that becomes your destiny — it cannot be changed. And this ultimately leads into the physical world.

Jesus earnestly explained this for 40 days.

---

2. Middle age
   During the Middle Ages, something important happened.

1) Habakkuk 2:4
In the Middle Ages, when the Gospel disappeared again, Martin Luther stood up and proclaimed the Gospel. He said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel,” even as he faced mockery and curses. People hated him for speaking about Christ. When you talk about the Gospel, those without it hate you.

Jesus said, “You will be hated because of Me.” That’s why Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. The righteous shall live by faith.”

2) Romans 1:16–17
This is what the prophet Habakkuk said, and Paul quoted it in Romans 1:16–17.

3) Luther
Later, Martin Luther quoted this passage as well. Why am I telling you this? Because Martin Luther risked his life on these words. The powerful medieval church wanted to kill him, but Luther’s response was this:

“Why do you sell indulgences and claim that salvation comes from money? That’s wrong. Salvation is by the Gospel alone. The righteous shall live by faith.”

The medieval church, trapped under Satan’s system, sentenced Luther to death.

Why am I talking about this today? Because we are now tracing history back to the beginning — and at the center of this, one church leader supported Luther. One businessperson helped him. It was extremely dangerous, but that support flipped the world upside down.

Industrial workers, this is the kind of work you’re called to do. That person secretly helped Luther translate the Bible, even though until then, no one was allowed to read Scripture. During the day, he disguised himself like a hunter, and at night, he translated the Bible.

I’ve been to these places personally — I visited the church where Luther was sentenced to death and the place where he hid and translated the Bible. Because Luther translated the Bible, Satan attacked violently. People say Luther once threw an ink bottle at the devil when he appeared to torment him. But when we checked, we found that someone had chipped away and stolen the spot where the ink had been thrown.

---

3. Future age
   When you work for the future generations, God will absolutely use you. Don’t underestimate yourself.

1) RT
You never know what will happen through the remnants you raise. You don’t know, and history doesn’t know yet. Who could have imagined that Luther would appear and change the world? The Catholic Church underestimated him and mocked him, saying, “He’s immoral, he ran off with a nun,” because he married a former nun. They criticized him while ignoring their own faults.

But it was one church leader who stood behind Luther and saved him. You must remember this.

What will happen in the future? Many of the first-generation elders will pass away. Churches in America are closing rapidly. What will happen then? Will God just let it all collapse? No — God is calling you to raise the remnants and prepare the future generation.

Raise the remnants. Especially for those of you in spiritual work — stake your life on this. You must pray 24 hours for this.

2) TCK
Raise the TCKs. This is also an answer.

3) CCK, NCK
Seek out the TCKs and NCKs scattered among the 5,000 tribes and restore them. You must begin this in earnest.

---

▣ Conclusion
Now let’s conclude.

1. Answer
   When did God give the answers that shook heaven and earth? It’s when you established certain systems.

(1) WIOS
When your W-I-O-S — Word, Identity, Occupation, and System — was firmly established, God worked.

(2) OURS
When the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation was built, God answered.

(3) 7/7/7S
When God’s system of the bartizan, the fortress, and the kingdom — the 7/7/7 system — was set up, God gave answers.

2. Healing, TCK, Holy Mason house
   Second, build these within your church. Create healing houses under your name, inside the church, where spiritually sick people can come and pray comfortably. Build TCK houses inside the church as well — not outside, because those disappear quickly.

In America, pray to purchase church buildings that have closed down and turn them into Holy Mason houses. God will give you answers that shake heaven and earth.

3. 5,000 Age
   Third, don’t just save the 5,000 tribes — open the era of the 5,000 tribes. The whole world will be filled with war, drugs, and mental illness. It’s not a question of whether answers will come or not — they will come automatically.

Do you understand now why you are in America? Do you understand now why we are raising remnants? You may think you came here by coincidence, but God has an absolute plan.

Some say, “I came because I was poor and wanted a better life.” Others say, “I came here to study and ended up staying.” But those aren’t the real reasons. God sent you here because He intends to use you for His work.

This time, remember these three words. Theologians won’t teach this. Pastors rarely talk about it. That’s why there’s no competition. Jesus told us to pray this way, didn’t He? So, let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, who is the solution to all problems, and the infinite love of God the Father, and the working power of the Holy Spirit be with all industrial workers who will save the 5,000 tribes in America, with all church leaders, and with all remnants, from now until eternity. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-14

♠Introduction

I have carried out ministry at seven churches. The seventh one is now Immanuel Church. I do not have many close acquaintances. I do have many peers and know many pastors. After doing evangelism for 40 years, I am close only with the senior members of our executive committee. Outside of that, I do not have many close friends. The reason is because they are people who cannot do world evangelization. That was the way I thought back then, and now, looking back, I see that it is true. They possess thoughts and minds that make world evangelization completely impossible. If I become close with such people, I would spiritually die. I may appear to act friendly, but in truth, we are hardly close at all. Some people who do not know me have spread rumors, saying I seem somewhat arrogant. Why am I saying this? After going through six churches, now I am pastoring at the last one. When people in every church pray, sing praises, or listen to sermons, during those moments, you cannot tell. Even the prayers of elders are well-prepared, so you cannot know then. But during those times, the inner person comes out. And when this inner person comes out, in almost all cases, it is not the gospel. They cannot enjoy the gospel. The gospel is supposed to flow through an incredible current, but they cannot ride that current. Does that mean they are morally corrupt in a worldly sense? That is not what I am saying. In fact, corrupt people often have greater potential. A prodigal son who has left the house has the possibility of returning. But the prodigal son who never leaves the house cannot be fixed. It is a difficult concept to understand…

If you understand three words this time, you will receive answers.
The first of these was yesterday’s Lesson 1. It is about continually doing what Jesus told us not to do and refusing to do what He commanded us to do. Jesus directly pointed this out, saying, “You are building Satan’s house and establishing his bartizans.” Jesus Himself said this. That is why those people, those Jews, could not do world evangelization. The only thing remaining for them was disaster. So Christ Himself established His bartizans. The person who held onto those bartizans the most was the Early Church, and among them, it was Paul in particular. Today, you must remember the second word.

Introduction – Let me begin by speaking from the introduction.

1) Mark’s church
Now, this refers to Peter and the Upper Room Church of Mark. This church could not evangelize Rome. Let us take a closer look at what is being said here.
(1) Acts 11:1–18 — You know the content of Acts 11:1–18, right? It speaks about the incident where Peter went to the house of Cornelius. Now, when the people who had received the gospel heard about this, they should have said, “Wow, truly God has worked according to His Word this time!” But instead, what did they say? “Still, how could you go into the house of a Gentile and eat there?” Right after this, we see that the Antioch Church was born.
(2) Galatians 2:11–20 — These same people show up here too. What do they say? “Yes, we may be saved through Jesus Christ, but still, we must receive Jewish circumcision, keep Jewish customs, and observe the Jewish days.” This became the cause of the problem at the Galatian Church. And who was saying this? Peter said it. Who else said it? James said it. And who else? Even Barnabas said it. Paul explicitly mentioned all three names. Paul said, “What in the world is going on here? Have we not died with Christ on the cross? Does not Christ live in us? Do we not live by faith in Him?” Paul delivered an enormous message through this.
(3) Galatians 1:1 — Here, Paul says something striking. If you cannot enjoy the gospel, you end up saying strange and irrelevant things. You must not make excuses. Right? What excuse could there be? Everything has already been finished in Christ, so if you cannot come out from that old way of thinking, you cannot receive answers. Having nothing else left to criticize, they started saying, “Is Paul truly a legitimate apostle?” How petty is that? They were saying, “We are the ones who actually walked with Jesus and followed Him, not Paul.” So Paul boldly responded:

“I, Paul, am an apostle — not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead.”

He gave a powerful defense. These kinds of people could never evangelize Rome. If you remain at this level, it is obvious that America cannot be evangelized either. You must genuinely change the way you think. When your thoughts change, your words change. When I observe many pastors and elders in the church, I can see the inside of people come out, and what comes out? Unbelief. There is no gospel. That is the end of it. It is your thoughts that will decide everything. Whatever thoughts you are holding right now — that is your future. If your thoughts are wrong, it cannot happen. Because your thoughts are connected to your brain and soul, everything in your life flows from them.

2) 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 → Satan’s strongholds
But the Bible explains it like this. In 2 Corinthians 10:1–5, it says: Do we need all these human theories? Do we need all these thoughts apart from God? Is there anything higher than God? Anything that exalts itself above God must be demolished. Do you know what the Bible calls this? It calls it Satan’s strongholds.

In yesterday’s Lesson 1, the keyword was bartizan. Satan has built a house and erected bartizans there. It is the same today. If you look at the Jews, or even many churches nowadays, they choose only to do what Jesus told them not to do. Why is that? I do not understand it. What Jesus forbade, they insist on doing to the end. What Jesus commanded, they absolutely refuse to do. How can such things happen?

That is why many churches around the world are closing their doors. Ninety percent of the existing churches are not self-sustaining. It is a serious problem. Other religions are mocking Christianity. In America, churches are declining, yet why are the three organizations thriving? Why is the meditation movement dominating America and shaking the entire world, while the church is powerless?

The important thing is not what you are trying to do, but what you are thinking and where you are standing spiritually. That is what matters. Satan has built this — a fortress, a stronghold — and he has planted it deep within.

In the Korean Bible, this word is translated as “a fortified camp or stronghold.” It means that inside the church, within us, there are these fortified strongholds. My own thoughts, my own theories — is there anything better than God? Is there anything higher than God? Anything that exalts itself above Him has become my fortified stronghold. In English, the term is Strongholds.

3) Lamp stands
Because of this, God has moved the lampstands.

So today, God is raising up people who will save the world. What must you hold onto? Today’s title. This is what you must establish: God’s strongholds. If you establish them inside yourself, everything is finished. If you have God’s bartizans inside of you, it is over.

Because a greater spiritual war is coming, you need fortresses. You must remember this. I did not create this term; it comes directly from 2 Corinthians 10:4–5. Satan has already built his powerful strongholds, and you must gain the power to save yourself. Right? You must gain the power to save the field. You must gain the power to save the age.

God has already promised to give this to you. Through this, you will save the church. Even if only one person among you understands this word, it is enough. We must build God’s bartizans, construct God’s strongholds — this is Lesson 2.

So then, how will you build these strongholds? These two things I have just shared in the introduction are absolutely essential.

Bartizan / Journey / Guidepost – 3 Concentrations
Hold onto the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts, and enter into 3 concentrations. You must do this, without fail. This is the time when you will find the greatest happiness and the greatest strength.

Why do I tell you to do 3 concentrations? Because when you combine these three, it naturally becomes 24. You must do these 3 concentrations with two essential things:

To save your brain, your lungs, and your entire inner organs — breathe. Slowly, deeply.
To save your spirit and save your soul — pray.

Take these two things and devote just 10 minutes in the morning to them. When you do this, there are a few things you must keep in mind. This is how you create the 7/7/7 system, which is truly God’s stronghold.

① 3 years
With this stronghold, during Jesus’ three years of public ministry, He gave two commands. First, He said to change everything completely. And second, at the very end, He promised this: “I will send you the Holy Spirit, the Helper, and He will be with you forever.” You must enjoy this promise.

② 40 days
Then, see what He did during the 40 days after His resurrection. This is what you must enjoy.

③ 10 days
What happened during the 10 days? They gathered in the Upper Room of Mark and concentrated for about ten days. During this time, they held onto the three feasts, and when the day of Pentecost came, an extraordinary work of God took place.

④ Acts 2:42
There is something you must discover here: worship. Every answer must come from worship. If not, your spiritual state is fake. It is certain. The time of Sunday worship must be the most important time in your life. Right? If you are not resolved about this, you will lose the battle. Nothing will work.

⑤ Acts 2:46–47
Finally, the Word from the pulpit begins to manifest in the field. This means you are living the life of faith normally. When you listen to the Sunday message, of course, you cannot memorize the entire sermon every week. Right? It is impossible. But on that day, you must receive an answer. On that day, something must be engraved into you. On Sunday, you must pray holding onto the Word the entire day. If you do this, it is finished. There is no way answers will not come, and there is no way revival will not happen.

⑥ Acts 3:1
Then what comes next? At the time of the ninth-hour prayer — this refers to scheduled prayer. When you have scheduled prayer, you must also have a specific goal you are holding onto.

⑦ 24 / 25 / eternity
From this point, what happens? You enter into 24. The 3 concentrations turn into 24. Then comes the 25 answers. And finally, the masterpiece of eternity is created. This is God’s stronghold. Since God has already given us the bartizans, the journey, and the guideposts, we are now to build the stronghold.

⑧ Acts 13:1–4 / 16:6–10 / 19:1–7
As you do this, there is something special you must enjoy each time. Set your standard to receive the perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit. If it is not 300% certain, do not move. When a door closes, it always means God has prepared a turning point. Reenact the works that took place in the Upper Room of Mark — this is what it means to build strongholds. You must establish these strongholds firmly.

Main – Then what happens?
God’s timetable begins to come upon you.

1. Antioch (Acts 11:19)
First, we come to Antioch. In Acts 11:19, there is an incredible message. It says that because of the persecution of Stephen, the work people who had been scattered gathered together. The apostles had been arrested, and because of this great incident caused by persecution, the church leaders gathered. This is God’s timetable.

1) Prosecution
There was tremendous persecution here.

2) Stephen
And here, Stephen was killed. This was the beginning of everything.

3) Acts 11:28–30
But in Acts 11:28–30, we see that a severe famine struck the entire region, yet God blessed only the Antioch Church. This is what we call the economy of light. This is also what we call the economy of evangelism and the economy of missions. These blessings surely follow when you stand in the covenant. I sincerely hope you will receive this blessing.

2. Asia (Acts 13:1–4) → “Absolute bartizan”
Next, where did they go? To Asia. In Acts 13:1, we find that there were church leaders and workers gathered there. Everywhere Paul went, he first raised church leaders and work people.

You must break down the wrong structures and establish the bartizans. Then, answers will come — they will come constantly. In fact, they will come so abundantly that you will hardly be able to manage them. There will be so many that you will have to adjust. You will become busy.

In the mornings, you will be too busy praying to waste time worrying about other people’s problems, imagining problems that do not exist, or creating problems where there are none. Some people even invent fake problems just to stay occupied. But if you build God’s bartizan, your life will be restored.

Watch what happens when just a few churches in Korea properly hold onto the Word, including our church. I personally am not doing anything special, but you will see what God does.

If you truly hold onto the three-day weekend age, the three courtyards (TCK / CCK / NCK), you will see heaven and earth move. You must hold onto this covenant. It is recorded in the Bible, but no one is doing it — so we must.

Here, the Holy Spirit leads completely. If you read through verse 4, you will see that the Holy Spirit guides the locations, the Holy Spirit connects the people, and the Holy Spirit opens the doors. This is what we call the absolute bartizan. We must establish this.

3. Macedonia → “Absolute journey”
Then God closed certain doors and led Paul to Macedonia. This is Acts 16:6–10. God called Paul to Macedonia, and this is what we call the absolute journey. God changes your path and shows you the absolute journey.

At this time, God connected Paul with Lydia. It says, “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart.” God had already prepared Jason ahead of time. Paul did not make these connections by himself — God did it.

God also connected Paul with Priscilla and Aquila, and this couple used their earnings to fully support Paul in his ministry. These are the kinds of church leaders who must rise up today — those who can run their work and fund world evangelization.

And were Priscilla and Aquila poor because of this? No. According to historical records, Priscilla and Aquila were the equivalent of modern-day billionaires. This is recorded clearly.

4. Rome → “Absolute guidepost”
And finally, where did Paul head? To Rome. This is the direction everything points toward — what we call the absolute guidepost. God prepared everything ahead of time.

In Romans 16, Paul mentions the protectors, the co-workers, and the hosts. To the extent that Paul was blessed, God had already prepared the people he needed.

You must receive the level of answer where you become the protector of the evangelist. You must become the protector of your pastor. Right? And even lay down your life as a co-worker. Be a host who provides for God’s servants.

Many elders in Korea today are in danger of receiving judgment from God because they misunderstand the purpose of the church. The church is not a corporation. The church is not a business where you collect money, pay salaries, and run operations like a company.

Yes, there may be organizational structures, but spiritually, this mindset is dangerous. Many people are so skilled at choosing exactly what will block them from receiving God’s answers. Instead, God wants you to first receive spiritual blessings from Him, and then, from those blessings, you support the pastors and church workers who deliver God’s Word.

This is how the system was designed for Israel: the 11 tribes received land and produced crops, and from those crops, they gave one-tenth to the Levites. Why? Because the Levites were not given land. God did not give them an inheritance of land, so they were to live from the tithes of the other tribes. You must understand this concept correctly.

In the same way, we need modern-day Gaiuses and modern-day Priscillas and Aquilas to arise from among our remnants today.

♠Conclusion

Let me conclude. Even if only one person rises, that is enough. If one person truly stands, everything begins. Yesterday’s Lesson 1 taught us that you must become the main figure of the three courtyards. You must become the main figure of the three-day weekend age. This is where you must stand as the central figures.

1) Friday – Healing
On Fridays, our work people and church leaders must make it a point — at least once a week — to visit, invite, or meet someone who is hurting. Give them the message. Do the work of healing.

2) Saturday – Talent
On Saturdays, you must help the remnants discover their talents. How do we do this?

(1) Have them read essential books and hold forums so they can find answers through the Word.
(2) Research historical figures who disrupted the world and teach them how to find answers in Christ.
(3) Teach them about the three feasts.
(4) Teach them about prayer — because many misunderstand prayer.

Prayer is not something burdensome. Prayer is the way you receive strength all day long. Right? Prayer is the way you enjoy peace all day long. Prayer is the way you enter into true rest all day long.

But most people misunderstand prayer, and that is why they fail. Think about it — is breathing difficult? If breathing is difficult, that means you are close to death. Prayer is spiritual breathing. You must recover this quickly.

Our work people and church leaders must first rediscover this truth and restore prayer in their lives, because through this, you will conquer America. And when we teach remnants proper prayer, they will discover “Only” — the unique calling of their lives. That is their talent.

Once they discover their talent, they will develop specialization — this is what we call uniqueness. And from there, they will see what they must fully challenge themselves toward. This is what we call re-creation.

When you guide them like this, they will see the field clearly, and they will begin to find the right remnants.

3) Sunday – Stream
And what about Sundays? There is always a spiritual stream. In your personal life, in your church, in the headquarters, and even across the world, there is a stream of the Word, a stream of prayer, and a stream of evangelism.

If you cannot catch this stream, it will be a serious problem. On Sundays, you must ride this flow without fail.

Our church leaders must become the main figures of the three-day weekend age. In yesterday’s Lesson 1, I said: “Assign one nation to each person.”

Raise up 237 elders who can each take responsibility for one of the 237 nations. Bring in the 5,000 tribes. Gather the future talents and laborers. Even if you cannot do it perfectly, your direction must align with God. Right? Whether it happens now or later is not the issue. What matters is that your direction is correct.

Therefore, do this unconditionally. Start today. Build God’s strongholds completely.

Build God’s bartizan inside yourself.
Build God’s strongholds around you, in your church, and in your work.

This is the essence of Lesson 2. If you just remember these three keywords, answers will surely come.

Inside you, among us, within the church, and in the field, you must destroy Satan’s strongholds. When you build God’s strongholds, Satan’s strongholds will automatically collapse.

When you continue this, answers will come. The doors to world evangelization will open. And for that reason, you must save the churches in America that are closing. Right? This is urgent.

We must revive these churches so that we can send out missionaries. But more churches will continue closing in the future. This is a serious crisis. Yet God has never once stopped the flow of the gospel.

Even in the midst of disasters, God always raises up remnants to save the generation. Therefore, this message today is not optional — it is something we must apply.

You must think carefully. If your thoughts are wrong, you cannot receive proper answers.

Therefore, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ, that by having the right thoughts and holding onto what God has given you, you will begin the work of saving the world. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One who solved all problems, and the infinite love of God the Father, and the working of the Holy Spirit, be upon all the work people who will save America, upon our church leaders, upon all the remnants, and upon all the messengers of the Lord, from now until eternity. Amen.

2024.09.12 – The 19th North America Businesspersons Evangelism Conference, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-14

---

In America right now, pluralism that seeks to eliminate Christ is rampant, and America is exporting this to the entire world. Also, the three organizations are spreading the Nephilim movement globally. Moreover, there’s a strong movement in America advocating for the elimination of gender and religious discrimination. Darkness has covered the situation. Recently, the New York Times reported that by 2030, about one-third of the churches in the U.S. will close. Will it really happen? The gospel has never stopped even once. Even during the Middle Ages when the gospel seemed absent, it was testified to most powerfully. You must realize that in every generation, God always raised up church leaders and workers. Before Moses, God had already raised up people like Jochebed and Jethro. Before Samuel and David, God raised Hannah and Jesse. Before Elijah and Elisha, God established a church leader named Obadiah. For the evangelization of Rome, God first raised the church leaders and workers in Romans 16. God can fulfill His work even with just one person. During the Remnant Age, God worked through just one Remnant. God’s power is not in numbers. So, why are American churches closing? Naturally, they will close. Korean churches are also becoming more serious. Many churches are closing. We have entered this crisis, this age of darkness. And in this era, God has called you.

This time, you must know three things. What is the first?

▣ Introduction – Reason
What is the reason that churches are closing? You must know the reason. Why are Korean churches closing? Of course, they are bound to close. Why? Because they keep doing everything except what Jesus taught. All you need is to open your spiritual eyes. Even when they go to church, people continually do the very things Jesus told them not to do. The things Jesus commanded us to do, they absolutely refuse to do. It’s not that it’s impossible; it’s just inevitable that they fail. Jesus told us to forgive seventy times seven, yet churches refuse to forgive even once. Isn’t that true? Jesus told us to bless many people and preach the gospel, but instead, we keep gossiping and talking about others. People keep doing only the things Jesus forbade.

1) Jews
Especially the Jews—their entire ideology was wrong from the start. They developed this chosen-people superiority complex. That ideology eventually became one that brought hatred from the entire world. Right? They believed, “Jehovah is the God of Israel only,” and “The Messiah is only to save Israel.” This was such a distorted belief.

2) Pharisees
Especially the Pharisees—the so-called orthodox church leaders of the time. Even today, if you listen to the most conservative denominations in Korea, their speech is exactly the same as the Pharisees. Even the words are identical. It’s shocking. Nobody even taught them this, yet they sound just like Pharisees, which means the church cannot thrive. Simply put, they cannot receive answers. No matter how much they pray, they will not receive answers. Why? Because they are doing the wrong things.

As soon as Jesus called His disciples, He said this in Matthew chapter 5: “The blessing you think you have—it’s not a blessing. You’re under Roman occupation and will soon perish, yet you think you’re blessed just because you hold a high position? That’s not blessing. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Blessed are those who mourn. Blessed are those who are persecuted, for they will inherit the kingdom of God.” And regarding prayer, He told them: “Do not pray like you are doing now. Do not pray to be seen by people—that’s not prayer. Do not keep babbling meaningless requests—your Father already knows what you need.” Then in Matthew chapter 7, He said: “Seeking to prove who’s right and wrong in church—that is not faith. That’s why you can’t see the plank in your own eye but notice the speck in your brother’s eye.” That’s not faith. He gave a parable: it’s like building a house on sand. It looks solid, but when storms come, it collapses.

During His three years of ministry, Jesus did two main things besides dying on the cross: He taught and He changed everything. He even ate with tax collectors—the people Jews despised—because they loved the Word. He forgave the woman who wept at His feet, while the Jews came ready to stone her. On the Sabbath, He healed the sick—completely overturning their distorted understanding. But today, we are living our faith exactly like the Pharisees. Naturally, there are no answers. I can usually tell right away whether a church will experience revival or decline. It’s inevitable. People must discern this quickly. Once you understand, God’s works naturally follow.

Just like it is natural for a man and woman to get married and have children—there’s no need to attend training or academies to make it happen—spiritual life is the same. Life gives birth to life. If you truly have the gospel, spiritual fruit naturally comes forth.

Jesus often used parables because people had the wrong understanding. He said, “Your faith may seem small like a mustard seed, but that life will grow into a tree.” The true gospel and covenant you hold may seem invisible now, but it spreads like yeast. It may look like you are sacrificing for the Lord, but beneath that sacrifice is an eternal treasure hidden for you. It may seem like you’re carrying just a bag, but inside, you have the most precious pearl. Jesus used parables so that those with ears to hear would understand—and also so that those who shouldn’t understand, wouldn’t. He said clearly: “Not everyone should grasp this. If the wicked and violent understand this mystery, they’ll misuse it.”

This year, you must seriously find the answer as to why things haven’t worked for decades. Why are American churches closing? Because they’re not doing what Christ commanded. And before Jesus gathered them to the Mark’s Upper Room, He first called them to Mt Olive and gave them the complete message. But they are not doing this.

3) Temple
Now, let’s talk about Herod’s Temple. The problem was that it became an idol. What’s the most critical issue here? The three courtyards were missing. God Himself designed them, yet they were completely corrupted. In the Temple, they started selling animals and exchanging money. The Gentiles’ courtyard, the children’s courtyard, and the prayer courtyard were completely taken over by business. In any nation, if people don’t know God’s power, money becomes god. They were making profit inside the Temple itself.

When you offered sacrifices, you had to buy animals there. Inspectors would reject animals brought from outside, forcing you to buy theirs. They even demanded Temple-specific currency, charging commission on every exchange. The profits were enormous. That’s why Jesus flipped the tables in anger, driving them out with a whip. A church without the three courtyards must close its doors.

Satan’s bartizan
Do you know what’s even more important? Jesus Himself said it: the bartizan of Satan inside us. If this remains, failure is inevitable.

1) Matthew 12:28–30
Here, Jesus wasn’t speaking to unbelievers. He was speaking directly to Pharisees who thought they were faithful: “There is a strong man, Satan, in your house. Unless the Spirit of God comes and binds him, you cannot overcome him. But when the Spirit comes, the kingdom of God has come upon you.” Satan builds his stronghold inside people.

2) Matthew 12:43–45
Evil spirits also build their homes inside us. You can repent, strive harder, clean yourself outwardly, and even have fellowship—but without Christ, seven stronger spirits return. It’s useless. Satan grips people like their master. The reason there are no answers is simple: people are not doing what Jesus taught.

3) 2 Corinthians 10:1–5
Paul said, “We demolish strongholds,” because Satan sets up a fortress inside us. Without destroying that fortress, nothing works.

Check yourself carefully. If answers aren’t coming, you cannot receive them. No matter how much you serve, nothing will work. No matter how much you pray, there will be no results. Churches will close. Members will leave. Evangelism won’t happen. It’s inevitable as long as Satan’s bartizan stands. That must be completely broken.

▣ Main – New bartizan (John 14:16, 26; 16:13; Acts 1:8; Acts 19:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16)
So what must we do? We must do what Christ commanded. You must firmly remember this and build an entirely new bartizan—the one Christ Himself gave. You must quickly discern this.

Before His death, Jesus said, “Do not tell anyone about the confession of Christ yet, for you are not ready.” After Peter confessed, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” Jesus praised him greatly, yet He said, “Do not tell anyone yet” (Matthew 16:20). But after the resurrection, everything changed. On Mt Olive, He called them and gave His command: “You will receive power, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” That’s the turning point.

Where must this new bartizan be built? Inside you. This is critical. At the end, Jesus emphasized only one thing: “I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, and He will be with you forever.” In John 14:16, He said the Holy Spirit would make you understand all things. When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, He will not only give you understanding but also remain with you forever. Just as John baptized with water, you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit and receive power to be His witnesses to the ends of the earth.

Paul understood this deeply. In Acts 19:8, he boldly proclaimed the kingdom of God. And in 1 Corinthians 3:16, Paul said: “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” You must be conscious of this reality. It’s shocking: even among the Pharisees who seemed faithful, Jesus said, “Satan has built a house inside you. That fortress must be broken.”

Pastor Jang Hyun-tae, who ministered extensively in America, once said this on his first day there: “America is impossible.” And he was right—it’s impossible as long as this bartizan remains. But he also said, “It is absolutely possible if even one elder understands this.” That’s biblical. God always worked through one person who truly understood the gospel.

I’ve been persecuted for 30 years, from every direction, but all those who opposed the gospel eventually collapsed, while the gospel movement continues. People tried to stop Darakbang and criticized me, saying, “Pastor Ryu, you’re pushing too hard. At this rate, you’ll collapse within three years.” Ironically, many of those very people are no longer here, and I’m still preaching today. Why? Because God’s plan continues.

We are preparing for world evangelization, especially for the 5,000 tribes. I personally cannot reach all 5,000, which is why America must rise and send missionaries. We must raise talents from among the nations already here. That’s why RU was established—to discover true workers. The day RU raises the true ones, God will pour out His blessings.

1. 3 Concentration

First, elders and workers, from now on, you must commit to 3 concentrations. Don’t just set fixed prayer times—begin the moment you open your eyes in the morning. Don’t rely on a specific place either. Just start. Keep praying until you meet someone. Keep praying until you receive answers. Throughout the day, turn your conversations, thoughts, and actions into prayer. This is true concentration.

1) 7 Bartizans
(1) God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit promised to dwell within us—pray for that fulfillment.
(2) Through the power of the throne, He promised to be with us.
(3) From that comes the power to break the past, present, and future curses. Only Christ can resolve your past and secure your future.
(4) Inside this blessing are the 5 powers—spiritual, intellectual, physical, financial, and manpower strength.
(5) You receive authority to overcome the ruler of the air.
(6) Then comes CVDIP—discovering your covenant, vision, dream, image, and practice.
(7) Finally, you build the three courtyards in your workplace, church, and studies. These are the 7 bartizans.

This is what you concentrate on—not by setting aside special hours but by constantly enjoying them. As you work, you can do this continuously.

2) 7 Journeys
(1) My life journey follows the path where the Triune God works.
(2) The 10 foundations of the throne are my journey.
(3) The 10 secrets of the throne are my journey.
(4) The five assurances of victory are my journey.
(5) The constant flow from the throne is my journey.
(6) The journey where I receive and give lifelong answers.
(7) My entire life becomes a camp of the throne.

Why aren’t people doing this? Instead, they do everything except what Jesus taught. This journey includes your business, your health, your family—everything. If you worry night and day, it will destroy you and those around you. But if you enjoy this journey, answers naturally come, and the future is secured.

3) 7 Guideposts
(1) The covenant of Mount Calvary is my guidepost.
(2) The mission of Mt Olive is my guidepost.
(3) The Mark’s Upper Room experience is my guidepost.
(4) Antioch is my guidepost.
(5) The start of Asia is my guidepost.
(6) Macedonia is my guidepost.
(7) Rome is my final guidepost.

These 7 guideposts mark God’s roadmap for evangelism. Focus on these in your 3 concentrations. This is simple, powerful, and unstoppable.

2. 3 Setting
Second, what is it? If you enjoy the above, the 3 settings will naturally be established. As you keep enjoying this, the 3 settings are formed.

1) Platform (Only)
At last, a platform is built. What is the name of this platform? Only. Your business—only. Your work—only. There isn’t a lot you need to do; do only what you must. The people I’m most wary of are those who spread themselves too thin and try to do everything. Why? Do what you’re truly called to do, and then the setting emerges.

2) Watchtower (Uniqueness)
When this emerges, a watchtower that shines the light is raised. It’s the same essence as the bartizan, and from here, uniqueness appears.

3) Antenna (Recreation)
Then comes the communication that saves the world. This is the antenna. This is re-creation. It will surely come.

Elders, you must do this. Don’t try to receive answers; rather, let the kingdom of God come. Let the darkness be destroyed. Shine the light. Let the curses depart. Personally, I can’t point to a single case where I said, “I prayed and got this answer.” Yet the doors for evangelism open perfectly. Isn’t that enough? I never once prayed, “Give me this,” and yet as I kept 24-hour prayer, my height even shrank by 1 cm—but now, everything is clear. Exactly as I held to the covenant: this year the age of the 5,000 tribes will begin—watch next year.

3. 3 Answer
There are 3 answers you will visibly see.

1) Problems
Before, you avoided them; now you seek them out. You go to the problems—because you have the answer.

2) Conflict
You go into places of conflict and strife and give the answer. Then renewal naturally follows.

3) Crisis
And then what? Crisis. You don’t avoid it—you seek it out. Does your church seem to be facing difficulties? Go all-in. Hold fast in prayer and go all-in. The answer will come from the opposite side. If someone is facing problems, go all-in to save them. Don’t ever engage in what destroys. Then the works will surely arise.

Is this difficult? Do what Christ has given. Do what Christ commanded—what He ordered. I’m using the word Order intentionally: it’s what He gave to each individual. Why do people keep doing other things instead of this? It’s strange. Whatever grudge they carry, they refuse to do what Christ told them to do and keep doing only what He told them not to do. What kind of spirit is that? And yet, that’s the majority of people. Naturally, there are no answers. The door of evangelism won’t open. Even if there is just one living worker or church leader, it is enough. That’s certain. There’s nothing complicated about it. Usually, those who don’t truly know make things complicated. Those who have truly risen don’t do that. The half-trained monk talks the most; the true master doesn’t speak.

▣ Conclusion: 300%
Such blessings will come upon your work. 300%—whatever you do in business, do it like this; study like this; evangelize like this; do missions like this. Your boldness is good, and sometimes surging ahead may be led by the Holy Spirit—but it often bears no fruit. You must truly prepare this 300%. Then it becomes truly exciting. Answers begin before you even go out to evangelize. Wow—when you set up the gospel settings 100% for a certain region, and then you survey the field, you’ll be shocked—so many people are prepared. When I started in Busan, I had more than a dozen places lined up. I held back from moving forward only because the opposition was so fierce; I thought, “God must have a plan.”

1) Edit/Plan/Design
Keep editing until this becomes reality. And once you have a complete answer through the Word of God, keep planning. And what then? Keep designing. Keep going until the Word gives you a clear answer; keep planning until your prayer topics become crystal clear; keep designing until the field becomes visible. Evangelism, missions, studies, work—do everything this way. If it’s not visible, don’t go yet. Especially workers, from now on, do it like this.

2) 3 Courtyard
You must become the main figures of the three courtyards. The three courtyards have two expressions: one inside the church and one in the field. Paul began with prayer. What was it? The Gentiles’ courtyard—he carried out healing there. That’s the courtyard of healing and the courtyard of prayer. And then where did he go? To the synagogue—that’s the children’s courtyard. You must do it exactly like this. So, in a sense, you workers should establish memorials for the three courtyards. But never only outside—do it within the church. What you do outside will not remain eternally.

At Immanuel Seoul Church, when someone passed away, they entrusted their money to be used for the Lord’s work. So I instructed the church: “Create a TCK House bearing that person’s name.” That isn’t to glorify the person—it’s to leave footprints. From now on, workers, pray in this way. Do it within your church. Establish a Healing House bearing your family name, a TCK House bearing your family name. It can be done. These are memorials, not bragging. In some big countries, you’ll even see streets named after individuals.

3) 237- 5,000
Church leaders and workers, choose one nation among the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. In the largest church in Los Angeles, raise 237 elders—assign each one nation. That’s the reason you live in America. Christ said to go to all nations, but we are not going because we lack the system. And raise Mexican and multiethnic pastors. People will come when there is a platform. That’s how we prepare for world evangelization. Answers cannot fail to come—because within us, the bartizan of God is standing. Therefore, I walk God’s journey and set up God’s guideposts everywhere. It cannot fail.

Think carefully. Even thinking correctly is enough. This is not first about practice; it begins with right thinking. Thought is everything, because it moves our brain, and the brain communicates with the soul—and that settles it. I need no other prayer within me—this alone is enough. I pray only this prayer. This is formed naturally. Since we already have this, it comes like this. Preparation is 300%. As these doors open one by one for church leaders and workers, your church cannot help but be revived. Every day, people keep doing what Jesus did not teach. Because they do this daily, the church doesn’t grow; it keeps shrinking; evangelism doesn’t happen; people fall into trials. Where is there time to be tested? We’re too busy receiving blessings. Try this—and you will see God’s astounding works begin.

Tomorrow, there are two things we must surely know—I will confirm them. Let’s give a round of applause to our Triune God who will save the world. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the powerful working of the Holy Spirit, be with our American workers who will save the world, from now and to eternity, always. Amen.

07. Dec. 2024 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

---

It was shown in the earlier video, but in Korea, people had nowhere to go, so they asked to borrow that church’s yard. And of course, when people become interested, they will listen. Then they realized, “Ah, they’re proclaiming the true gospel. Especially, the way they raise remnants is so biblical.” That’s what they concluded. So they ended up giving the church altogether. They handled all the legal matters accordingly. And then these people began attending worship and listening. Among them, the pastor and his wife—Americans—sat in the choir. The choir anthem when I went to give the message that day was “Lord, In My Life.” They briefly came to greet me and said, “This hymn, ‘Lord, in my life,’ we love it so much.” I replied, “I wrote the lyrics.” Then both of them went, “Oh!” “We really love that praise,” they said. “When we think about the lyrics—‘Let my descendants be within the flow of missions’—that part moved us the most,” they told me.

Today, if you are truly within God’s exact covenant, 24-hour answers will come. And the 25 evidence will surely arise. And a masterpiece called eternity will be made. What does it mean to be within the exact covenant? That is what’s important.

“Prayer 24 Team” (Romans 16:25–27)
Now, within the exact covenant, a Prayer 24 Team must be formed. The people in Romans 16, simply put, are a 24-prayer team.

So then, if the 24 answers come, the 25 evidence of God’s Kingdom comes, and the masterpiece called eternity emerges—what does it mean to be within the exact covenant? Most people miss this.

▣ Introduction
We must first know three things.

1. Christ – Salvation (Imprinting)
God’s greatest promise is salvation, and the greatest promise is Christ. This salvation—Christ—works where it is imprinted.

1) Genesis 3:15
God worked here: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” Holding to this covenant, Joseph went to Egypt.

2) Exodus 3:18
In Exodus 3:18, “On the day you offer the blood sacrifice, you will be set free.” There, God carried everything. By “everything,” I mean the 24 answers, the 25 evidence, and the masterpiece called eternity—all took place. You need not worry at all. If you are within this covenant, your church will continually experience the works of revival.

3) Isaiah 7:14
Scripture confirms this. This must be imprinted. Because they kept losing hold of it, God gave this covenant when they were going to Babylon. The greatest answer is Immanuel: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Works arise in the person in whom this is imprinted. If it is not imprinted, even when works happen, they won’t recognize them.

4) Matthew 16:16
Look at this: “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” That means He is the main figure of Genesis 3:15, and He is the Son of God. It is the name before which Satan trembles. The name that the forces of disaster fear most is the name of Jesus Christ. Because you’ve heard it so often, you may take it lightly, but the darkness trembles. When this is imprinted, all answers come. From now on, you must enjoy this and pray.

5) John 1:11–12
Thus, in John 1:11–12, He came as the Light: “Yet to all who received Him, to those who believed in His name….”

2. Christ – What He Gave (Root)
Second, there are things Christ has given. With these, you take root. Then all works surely take place. If you do not do this, they will not happen. Everything else is incorrect. God called us to give us salvation. Even the Law was given in order to give salvation. You must take root in this. What did He give?

1) Bartizan
The bartizan of the throne.

2) Journey
The journey of the throne—He clearly gave it.

3) Guidepost
The guidepost of the throne.

To the one who prays this constantly, God is even now answering in all things. It may look like you are facing hardships, but greater answers will come. Let me prophesy in advance: some problems will come to us. However, more people will gather. Just watch. It is God who sends people—those who are truly to be saved. It is not done by human strength. Thus, to say you have held the exact covenant means you have held these (Introduction 1–2). Everything else is merely events that occurred to explain this. Do not hold onto the events.

3. Christ – Promise (Nature)
Third: what does it mean to have held the exact covenant? Christ gave promises. He promised, “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” When this becomes your nature, answers keep coming. If things are not going well, do not be discouraged—hurry to establish this. In a sense, even without going out to evangelize, they will come. If this is not imprinted, rooted, and made into your nature, then even if you go to evangelize, it won’t work. Evangelism may seem to work, with many people registering in the church, but later you find numbers decreasing. You may think problems arose, but the church grows more alive. The point is here (in the Introduction). The person who enjoys this part can be sitting here, and God works in that person’s field. A problem comes, and later you find it was a blessing.

“Joseph is ruined. He disappeared, sold as a slave.” Is that so? “Joseph is ruined. He’s in prison now. He committed sexual immorality without fear and got thrown in jail.” Is that so? Look carefully. Joseph was within this (Introduction). And look at David. “He’s in big trouble. He’s become an enemy of the king; the king seeks to kill him. He has no future.” Isn’t that what it looked like? No. The one within this (Introduction) receives greater answers when problems come, and greater answers when hardships come.

For 250 years, believers in Jesus were brutally killed, but as time passed, there were more believers. The emperor who asked, “Why is that?” was Nero. He asked, “Why?” It is remarkable.

Which promises does this refer to?

1) John 19:30
Calvary. “It is finished.” Everything is important, but He said, “It is finished.” What we absolutely could not resolve, Christ resolved.

2) Acts 1:3
Second, Mt Olive. An eternal promise. “Go to the ends of the earth.”

3) Acts 2:1–47
Third, holding to this covenant, they experienced it in the Mark’s upper room. This is the promise.

This is fully being within the covenant that God desires. First Peter 1:9 says, “The outcome of your faith is the salvation of your souls.” And Jesus said, “What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their life?”

▣ Main Message
So then, how should we be (to be) in the very place where God truly answers prayers?

At Immanuel Seoul Church, I see that a Prayer 24 Team has been formed centered on our deaconesses. I believe this is very good—extremely important. A Prayer 24 Team—though it may look like nothing at the time—will surely bring about works. There is a 24-team that kills believers in Jesus, and there is a 24 prayer team that testifies to Jesus. Who will win?

Those who hindered faith in Jesus had power. Public opinion was nearly everything: “They are heretics. Arrest them and kill them.” In a dictatorship, if they say, “Kill them,” they kill them. Then Rome also rose up, and for 250 years, ten emperors tried to eradicate Christianity. What was the result? Therefore, the Prayer 24 Team is extremely important.

1. Today’s enjoyment
First, how does the Prayer 24 Team enjoy today? Just pray that way.

2. Waiting
Next, what does the 25 Prayer Team wait for? This is very important. How do you enjoy today, and what do you wait for?

3. Answers to be received
What answers will the Prayer 24 Team receive? You must know this and pray.

1. Today’s enjoyment

1) Three concentrations
From now on, with the bartizan, the journey, the guidepost, and with what Christ promised and gave, simply do the three concentrations. That is 24. Just the three concentrations—nothing else.

As I said earlier, I woke up at 3 a.m. today. After waking at 3, I continued concentrated prayer until I came to this gathering. And from the time I meet you, my prayer changes. I must continue to give you a special message and blessing prayer. After this is over, there is nothing else—I must gain answers through the Word. That is what I do. Whether answers come or not, when they come—such things do not matter to me. I am happy to be inside this (Introduction). I am not particularly interested in other things. By God’s grace, that is how it has been for 30–40 years.

2) Three settings
Then, in my life, the three settings will surely emerge. They will emerge. People will come because a platform has been prepared. In this church, do not do other things. If this platform exists, people will gather. They will come and receive complete healing—seeing the light of the watchman’s bartizan. Now they will communicate with the throne—the antenna. These are the three settings.

3) Three answers
And problems, conflicts, and crises exist everywhere. There, you receive blessings—the three answers. This is 24. This is the 24 enjoyment. And you must remember it.

2. Waiting
This is the 24 enjoyment. And you must surely remember. Then what do we wait for? We do not wait idly. We enjoy as we wait. What do we wait for?

1) Throne 25
We wait for the 25—the power of the throne to come upon us. This is Jesus’ promise.

2) Kingdom 25
When you surely pray, God’s Kingdom comes upon that field. This is 25. We wait for this.

3) Work 25
Surely, the work of God’s Kingdom is fulfilled. This is 25. Keep doing this. In some respects, you can completely change your perspective.

Like Madam Ahn Yi-Sook, when she was ill, she said, “I am so thankful.” That is the posture we must take. She truly said so: “I’m so thankful, because I am going to God’s Kingdom.” That is correct. Those who have truly received answers are like that. Even when they think they might die, they give thanks. Daniel did this. The three young men did likewise—God’s Kingdom.

3. Answers to be received (Challenge)
Then what are the answers to be received? We challenge toward them—because the answers are certain. What are they?

1) Eternal things
Eternal things. We challenge in this direction. Why would we invest in things that appear and disappear?

2) Eternal answers
Eternal answers. We challenge in this.

3) Eternal masterpieces
Eternal masterpieces. We challenge in this.

Remnants, you will see that God is guiding you. From today, cast away all worries. Truly, many people are full of anxiety. Cast it away. That is all unbelief. Cast it away. If you are within the most important promises (Introduction) of Scripture, God is bound to give you everything. It is certain.

▣ Conclusion
So how did God answer?

1. Upper Room, Team Ministry, MH, Specialized Ministry, Regional Church + 15
Up to now, as I looked in Scripture, I could see what the Upper Room was. I am speaking of what we have received as answers so far—what is in the Bible.

Why the Upper Room? At that time, they had to gather in hiding. Do we also gather in hiding today? We need places even quieter than then.

Then, when you meet people, healing arises—team ministry.
Then, when it is blocked, it arises in another home—Mission Home (MH).
Now, we penetrate into the workplace—specialized ministry, specialized church.
And the disciples of that region are bound to gather—regional church.
The union of the 15 systems here is called the 20 strategies.

I am telling you exactly how we have received answers. I have made nothing. Exactly as it began in Scripture, as it began in the Mark’s upper room, so it has happened.

2. RUTC
Meanwhile, I saw in Scripture the synagogue: the Remnant and the RUTC movement. It has come exactly as such to this day.

3. Three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, holy meditation movement
Now then, what must we do? Without the three courtyards, every church will eventually close. Without the three-day weekend age (Friday–Saturday–Sunday), we will lose the next generation. They do not even know how to pray. We must make them able to do so. Indeed, our remnants are precious, but they lack spiritual strength. We must raise them. Right now, meditation movements are sweeping the world. We must become the protagonists of the holy meditation movement.

Then what must we go toward next? The answer is out: 237 and the 5,000 tribes. A bartizan must arise that raises evangelism disciples who will save them.

We are not making anything on our own. We have not gathered as a clique to fabricate something—none of that. We have been led exactly as it is written in Scripture. Therefore, we must go to the 5,000 tribes.

07. Dec. 2024 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:13

---

Remnants and TCKs must remember how to prepare for the remnant economy. If you prepare now, you will succeed. So, if it is really difficult, even praying just five minutes in the morning and evening is enough.

▣ Introduction: 10-minute prayer
Then it becomes 10 minutes of prayer. Because remnants are different from adults, even if you pray only five minutes, your brain will become fully activated. The brain grows until the age of 25 and then stops. Right now, just by closing your eyes, your brain comes alive. But if you were to do the 777 prayer, that would be truly amazing. I also mentioned this earlier when speaking to the new teachers.

1. Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers (fundamentals)
During infancy, toddlerhood, and preschool years, this is the time when tremendous fundamentals are being established. That is why prayer is necessary.

2. Elementary school (foundation)
And now, in the elementary school years, the foundation is built — a foundation that can never again be formed later. All real problems become imprinted during this period. That is why it is so important. That is why, when they are called to church, they must not be distracted with other things. You must imprint what is truly important.

3. Middle and high school (talent)
Why must you pray? Because during middle and high school years, you will discover your talents.

4. University (young adults)
And then, when you are about to enter college — or even if you choose not to go to college and instead step into society as young adults — you must be prepared 300%.

▣ Main message

1. Prayer 300%
This is why you must prepare 300% in prayer. This does not mean you only pray, but that you enjoy all your blessings and peace through prayer.

2. Academics 300%
Using this, you must also prepare for 300% in your studies.

3. Future 300%
And you must also prepare your future 300%. Why? Because all of these blessings are contained in Christ. Christ has already promised it.

1. Prayer 300%
So, while enjoying these blessings, what does prayer 300% mean?

1) Bartizan
It is about planting the bartizan — planting the bartizan of Christ in your life.

2) Journey
It is about walking along that journey.

3) Guidepost
It is about setting up guideposts wherever you go. And how? Through prayer. Nothing else is needed — that is how important prayer is.

1. Prayer 300%

1) Bartizan (imprint)
When you set up the bartizan through prayer, it becomes imprinted.

2) Journey (root)
And as you move in the field, this becomes rooted.

3) Guidepost (nature)
Then, it becomes your nature. Anyone can do this, and everyone must. The problem is that people misunderstand and think it is difficult. That’s not true.

For example, when I ride the elevator, if no one is around, I do squats. If there are people, it’s a little embarrassing, but otherwise, I do them whenever I’m bored. Even when waiting at the airport, I exercise, pray, and continue breathing. It’s comfortable and good. But if you try to force yourself to do it intentionally, it becomes exhausting and you can’t keep it up.

When I wake up, I slowly breathe to restore my health while naturally praying. Also, daytime is the hardest part. You keep hearing negative things and listening to people’s voices. That is incorrect. Even if what they say is right, it doesn’t match me. Living like that is exhausting, isn’t it? That’s why you must turn all of this into prayer. This is what the journey means.

And what about us? At night, we must confirm God’s Word and all the many blessings. That becomes your guidepost. Then, your nature will change.

2. Academics 300%
At that point, remnants will begin to see something new. Even if you don’t yet see it, you must develop three habits:

1) Editing (specialization)
You must continuously edit within prayer. I personally edit continuously while doing various things. For example, whenever I have time, I keep editing content related to evangelism. I constantly read books on breathing techniques. If a new book comes out, I read it again.

I also love fishing, so I frequently watch fishing channels — seeing the ocean makes me happy. I also carry this “24” with me everywhere. My assistants know this and prepare airplanes where I can freely carry my materials and work. Editing — this is something I do continually.

If you keep editing like this, what happens? Along with God’s Word, your specialization emerges.

2) Design (necessity)
Then you begin to see God’s plan. Unless you are completely blind, if you keep at it, it becomes visible. That’s what design is. Design isn’t just something you randomly create; it’s about seeing the plan. You see what is truly necessary. Once you see this, that’s enough, because you can’t do everything.

3) Field application (site-based design)
Field application — this means, “Ah, if I do it this way, it will work.” That’s what it means to have a field-based design. This is the key to success in your studies. And once you reach this stage, the doors to world evangelization open naturally and easily.

3. Future 300%
Now, what is future 300%?

1) 237
It means aligning your studies so they open the doors to 237 nations.

2) 5000
It means shaping your studies so they match the needs of the 5000 tribes. Your future must align with the 237 nations and the 5000 tribes.

3) RT, TCK, CCK, NCK
Your future must also connect with remnants and TCKs. You must align yourself with saving those trapped in the deep culture of darkness. (CCK) You must align yourself with helping the remnants who are receiving no support or benefits. (NCK)

▣ Conclusion
So, what conclusion do we reach? This must become something comfortable for you. For me, not doing this is more uncomfortable. When I wake up in the morning, praying and doing these things is natural and easy.

And when you enjoy blessings this much, you actually don’t have time for unnecessary things. People think I’m dealing with a lot of difficulties, but I don’t even have the time to dwell on them. I’m too busy enjoying these blessings. As a result, I have no worries.

You might not believe this, but I don’t read unnecessary writings. I don’t know what people are saying or what answers they are giving. If my assistants tell me something, fine, but to me, those things have no value.

Remnants, do not be deceived. If you truly have these blessings, even if others try to destroy you, you will rise again. Even if you’re chased out, you will rise again — because you already have everything.

If you don’t yet have the ability to manage 10 billion won, but somehow receive it, it will become a problem. But if you have the capability to manage 10 billion and lose it, you will create it again. It’s completely different.

—

Graduation and entering the world
Remnants, it’s best to prepare before you graduate and go out into the world. Of course, it’s not too late even after entering the world, but if you prepare beforehand, it’s easier to succeed. Why? Because almost no one else is doing this, so you can easily become number one.

People don’t know these things. Do they know the incredible power of spiritual blessings? Do they know the reality of this? No, they don’t. No matter how much they study or how intelligent they are, they don’t know. These are blessings that only God and Christ reveal in the Bible.

Always remember this. Pray comfortably. Focus on your studies and your future. Don’t listen to unnecessary voices. Don’t ask, “What should I do?” Just pray, and the answers will come.

Remnants must be different. To be precise, you don’t need to hear everything from people. Are you learning from me personally? No. We, the witnesses, gather to share the Word and testify for the sake of evangelism. That’s why you’re hearing God’s Word and His voice. Isn’t that true?

When you step out into the world, you should already be fully prepared. Remnants across the nation and the world, begin comfortably from now on.

I’ll repeat this again: Even if you didn’t perform well academically, if you make this preparation, you will succeed. But no matter how well you did — even if you graduate at the top of Harvard — if you fail to prepare spiritually, then all you gain is a job. Sure, you might get a good job, but that’s all.

On the other hand, if you have these blessings, you won’t just get a job — you’ll transform the field itself.

So, from today, comfortably enjoy prayer.

Prayer. Heavenly Father, we thank You. Please bless the remnants and allow them to confirm what Christ has given to them.
In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

(2024.09.03 237 New Family Field Worker Training
Scripture Reading: Matthew 28:16-20

---

The very first words you speak when you meet a new family member are extremely important. When I met some young ladies working at the factory, I remember exactly what I said to them, and they told me later that they could never forget it. I asked, “Did you come to Busan to make money?” They said yes, so I replied, “If you came to make money, why come here instead of going somewhere better? The reason you came here is because you are called to be a missionary to save your family, your hometown, and your field. Never forget that!” One of the girls cried—maybe because her situation was so difficult—but those words struck her heart deeply.

When I meet new family members, I tell them this: inside the church, many want to devote themselves, give offerings, and help the work of God, but often they feel limited because they haven’t yet received answers. That’s why we must prepare now. When I meet remnants, I also tell them this: “Prepare now so that one day, your tithe alone can sustain the church.” We must start from the very beginning, just like David. David gave offerings faithfully his entire life and prepared for the future. But the future is not something we control; therefore, set your standard on what God desires. The problem is, most people don’t know what God truly desires.

▣ Introduction – Why?

What does God desire from us? How can we know? From now on, keep asking why—but ask the right why:

1) Resurrection

▶ Why did Jesus rise again and deliver this message?

(1) Matthew 28:16–20 — Jesus said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me,” and then He commanded, “Go and make disciples of all nations.” But think about it—the early church barely had enough to eat, yet He told them to go to all nations!

(2) Mark 16:15–20 — “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.” Jesus even said, “In My name, drive out demons,” which is understandable, but how do you “go to all creation”? To the sick He said, “Lay hands on them, and they will recover”—that makes sense, but to reach all nations seemed impossible. Why did He say this?

(3) John 21:15–18 — “Feed My lambs.” That we can understand.

(4) Acts 1:8 — “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you; and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

▶ This was a humanly impossible mission. You must help new family members understand this: Jesus wasn’t exaggerating or joking. He gave a real command, but the early church couldn’t possibly accomplish it. From the start, they must understand this is a task we cannot do on our own.

2) The Promise

▶ But then Jesus also gave the promise of absolute possibility. New family members must be taught this and must believe it. Among the “7/7/7,” here are the five most important promises:

The Power of the Throne — God promised the power of His throne. This makes everything possible.

Transcendence of Time and Space — The power of the throne allows God to work beyond time and space.

The 237 Nations & 5,000 People Groups — When God transcends time and space, reaching all nations becomes possible.

Unprecedented and Unrepeatable Answers — God promises unique answers that have never been seen before and will never be seen again.

Absolute Bartizan — At that point, doors open and God establishes His absolute bartizan in your life.

3) Devotion

▶ Teach them what true devotion looks like:

Three Courtyards — When pastors open these three courtyards (for all nations, healing, and remnants), everything follows.

The Friday-Saturday-Sunday Age — These three days are crucial for discovering missions, gifts, and worship. Give remnants meaningful missions on Fridays, help them discover their talents on Saturdays, and make Sunday their highest point of worship.

TCK/CCK/NCK — Teach them about Third Culture Kids, Cross-Cultural Kids, and No-Culture Kids. Tell them, “If you ever give offerings, give toward this work. Support missionaries and pastors for this purpose.” This is the core of Romans 16—people who risked their entire lives for world evangelization.

4) How? — 7/7/7

▶ Teach them how to enjoy this covenant:

Enjoyment (24) — From now on, enjoy the bartizan God gave you every moment, without rushing.

Waiting (25) — Keep enjoying until God’s time (25) comes. That’s your standard.

Challenge (Eternity) — Be willing to stake everything on eternal things—missions, the next generation, and saving the nations.

5) Remind Them

▶ Warn them about common pitfalls they will face in the church:

Legalism — Avoid it.

Secularism — Don’t let the church adopt the world’s methods.

Mysticism — Don’t chase emotional or physical experiences.

Calculation-Based Faith — Some people make everything about money, favors, or personal gain. Warn new members to avoid these influences.

Ideology-Based Faith — Don’t get caught up in political agendas or social movements. Focus on Christ alone.

▣ Main Message — Align with Three Standards
1. W.I.O.S.

The Bible promises: “I will be with you, with us, and with everything you face.” Build a personal and church-wide system upon this promise.

2. O.U.R.S.

Answers will come through Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation. New family members often receive these answers more quickly than long-time believers because they have fewer misconceptions.

3. System for the 237 Nations and 5,000 People Groups

Pray specifically to save at least one group, one field, or one person from among the 5,000 people groups. When they come and hear the gospel, God will powerfully work through you.

▣ Conclusion

True Gospel → Breaks Darkness
▶ Teach them clearly: if you truly enjoy the gospel, darkness must break. Christ already crushed Satan’s head.

True Prayer → Breaks Satan’s 12 Strategies
▶ When you enjoy prayer based on the gospel, the enemy’s plans are destroyed. This is the “3 Concentrations,” “3 Settings,” and “3 Answers.”

True Witness
▶ Finally, they become witnesses:

Witnesses speak of what they’ve seen.

Witnesses share what they have.

Witnesses testify to what they know.

This is the calling and mission of every new family member.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all the new family members called to save this age, with all the ministers and workers, from now and forevermore. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Romans 7:24-25

▣ Introduction

Likewise, for us and for the congregation, what truly matters is how we enjoy today. This part is extremely important. Today is actually the time when we are building the “two bartizans.”
This is not something that can be built with yesterday’s things, and even though the future will come, it is not something to be built with what is yet to come.

The problem is, most believers don’t realize that they are continually building unhealthy bartizans within themselves. That’s why they remain unaware of what’s happening spiritually.

The reason those with mental disorders don’t recover is this: they keep holding onto only the parts of their lives where they are not healed.
It makes sense, doesn’t it?
They have no strength, they’re struggling with spiritual problems, and their environment is difficult. So, they naturally keep holding onto those negative things.

If you understand this principle, then it’s not even a mental illness issue—you can actually recover. But because they don’t realize it, they cannot be healed.
This is something you must remember very clearly.

When I was serving as an assistant pastor in a church, I realized something while working there. Before I understood the gospel, I used to live the same way too. But once I discovered the answer of the gospel, I began to see something:
Churches are mostly focused on doing things that will never bring true answers.

Think about it carefully. The things that would actually bring God’s true answers are rarely practiced.
It’s not necessarily because people don’t want to do them; it’s because the environment of the church itself is often structured that way.

If you see things wrongly, the church can become an environment where there’s no prayer, no meditation on the Word, and no personal renewal.
You end up just doing what is assigned to you—running programs, attending worship services—but your own life never changes.

However, once you realize this spiritual fact, things actually become very simple.

Bartizan / Journey / Guidepost

1. Church, Society, and the Older Generation
From what I’ve seen in the church, in society, and even among the older generation, I could clearly confirm this:
Most people—including pastors and elders—are holding onto things that cannot bring God’s answers.

It’s actually heartbreaking because elders are some of the most precious people in the church, yet many are stuck holding onto the wrong things.

That’s why Jesus’ public ministry was so simple and clear:
“Throw everything else away. None of it matters.”

He emphasized only one thing:

> “Be led by the Holy Spirit.
> The Holy Spirit will dwell within you.
> The Holy Spirit will teach you and remind you of everything.
> If you are filled with the Holy Spirit, everything else will work out.”

This was Jesus’ core teaching throughout His entire ministry.
So why would we ignore this and choose to live without God’s answers? There’s no reason for that.

Now think about this—what about new family members in the church?
They come in believing that whatever they see in the church is everything.

If the church prays a lot, they think, “Ah, I should pray too.”
If the church members gossip and argue, they think, “Oh, I guess that’s what Christians do.”

New believers are inevitably influenced by the church atmosphere.
Unless they are spiritually very strong or have large spiritual vessels, they’ll assume this is what the Christian life is supposed to look like.

But the truth is, this is not what Christ truly desires.
This is why you must remember this clearly and help guide new believers to see the gospel itself—not just the surrounding environment.

2. Shock, Emotion, and Imprinting
The second point is even more important: Why do so many believers listen to sermons, even say “Amen,” yet their lives don’t change?

It’s because shock, emotions, or deep imprinting from the past are often stronger than the work of the Spirit within them.

It’s not that the Holy Spirit is weak.
The problem is that we are deceived by the things already imprinted in us, which then block the Word and Spirit from fully entering.

3. The Seven Answer Schedules of the Early Church
That’s why we must teach new believers these seven key schedules—what I call the “7 stages of answers” from the early church:

(1) Jesus’ Public Ministry (The Holy Spirit, Our Helper)
Jesus’ entire public ministry focused on one thing:

> “You cannot live this Christian life by yourself.
> You must be filled with the Holy Spirit.”

But today, even the Jews of His time—and many churches now—are busy doing all the things Jesus told us NOT to do.

If this continues, world evangelization cannot happen.
Why? Because if we’re focused on the wrong things, the door to reach the nations will remain closed.

And when that door stays closed, it’s the church officers who suffer the most.
If finances become tight, they’re burdened with giving more. If responsibilities pile up, they become exhausted.

This is the reality of many churches worldwide.
Sometimes, if a particularly talented pastor emerges, people quickly elevate them and create structures around them—because they’re competent, capable, and focused on the church. But this is not the solution.

What’s worse is that most church members have never been properly imprinted with these seven key answers.

You don’t even have to call them “7/7/7” if that sounds too technical, but Jesus Himself clearly explained the system of the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost connected to the throne.

God’s throne is not here on earth where we stand, but if we build the bartizan, walk the journey, and establish guideposts, we will stand in the stream of God’s work.

New believers, however, have no idea about this.
That’s why you must help them understand this gently and clearly.

Alright — continuing the full translation seamlessly until the very end of this message. I’ll preserve the original sermon flow, structure, and tone exactly as it is.

(2) The 40 Days — God’s Kingdom and Mission

After His resurrection, Jesus explained about the Kingdom of God for 40 days.
He was teaching us to set aside a period of concentrated prayer and hold onto the covenant of God’s Kingdom.

During these 40 days, Jesus revealed that the throne of God is directly connected to the things concerning His Kingdom.
This isn’t something you do together with everyone else.
If you rely on people, you’ll fail.

So, what do we do? We hold tightly to the Word from the pulpit.
Focus your prayer on the Word God has given through your pastor—that is the highest and safest way.

Jesus is saying: “You are no longer just a newcomer. You are now part of God’s family.”

(3) The 10 Days — The Three Feasts

Then, after those 40 days, the disciples went into a period of 10 days of prayer.
This was a time when they held onto the covenant of the Three Feasts—the true mission of life.

Why is this so important for new believers?
Because many long-time church members are already full of old religious habits, personal methods, and wrong teachings.
It’s harder for them to shift their mindset.

But newcomers are different. Since they have less wrong imprinting, they can grasp the truth much faster when the gospel is explained clearly.

Most believers in established churches simply endure the Christian life.
Because they don’t see God’s answers, they think faith = waiting and enduring.
But waiting vaguely is not faith.

Faith means holding onto God’s covenant and enjoying His answers while you wait.
New believers need to understand this from the beginning—not simply to endure suffering, but to enjoy God’s promises now.

(4) The Lord’s Day — Acts 2:42

If you want the gospel to take root, then Sunday worship must become the central focus.

Don’t chase after various teachings or emotions—
Listen carefully to the pulpit message and receive it as God’s personal Word for you.

Acts 2:42 says:

> “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, to fellowship, the breaking of bread, and to prayer.”

The early church wasn’t following personal charisma or human talent—they followed the flow of God’s Word.
This is where true faith is built.

(5) Daily Life — Acts 2:46-47

Next, you must teach new believers that God’s Word is fulfilled daily.

Acts 2:46-47 says:

> “Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

When we hold onto God’s Word correctly, answers naturally flow into our everyday lives.

(6) Scheduled Prayer

From here, we enter into the system of prayer.
Once new believers begin receiving answers, they must also learn the rhythm of scheduled prayer.

This includes even something as simple as listening to church announcements.
Why? Because announcements contain prayer topics.

In Acts 1:14, the early believers gathered and prayed with one heart.
This was scheduled prayer—praying together in oneness with God’s plan, not just praying about personal needs.

We must help new believers understand:

Muslims keep their prayer times daily without fail.
Orthodox Jews still hold fast to their traditions of regular prayer.
But believers in Christ hold onto God’s Word from the pulpit and align their daily prayers with His plan.

This is what creates the spiritual system that brings constant strength and direction.

(7) 24 / 25 / Eternity

Finally, once prayer becomes your lifestyle, you naturally enter into the blessing of 24 hours with God.

This is where prayer becomes effortless—your thoughts, actions, and heart are continually aligned with God’s presence.

Then comes 25:

> God’s power working beyond human ability—answers that are entirely of His throne.

And from there flows Eternity:

> Your life, works, and field leave an eternal impact for God’s Kingdom.

This is the complete system of answers that new believers must be guided into step by step.

Changing the Imprint: Shock, Emotion, and Deep Roots

Why is all of this so critical? Because many believers—even pastors and elders—remain bound by old imprints from their past.

Past shocks
Past emotional experiences
Deeply ingrained habits

These must be replaced with God’s Word, prayer, and the gospel itself.
This is how the throne, journey, and guidepost are built inside you.

▣ Main Message — The Life of Camp

When you begin living like this, your entire life becomes a spiritual camp.
Whether your circumstances seem good or bad, everything becomes part of God’s training.

The key is:

> “How will you interpret today through God’s covenant?”

This perspective transforms every situation into an opportunity to see God’s work unfold.

1. The Standard of 7/7/7 — Light

The foundation of this entire system—the seven schedules, seven powers, and seven platforms—is one thing: light.

God has called us to bring His light into the darkness.
We live in a world full of spiritual confusion and brokenness, but when we restore the gospel, God’s light shines through us and revives the people, the field, and the future.

2. No Calculations — The Covenant Relationship

One of the greatest hindrances in the Christian life is calculating everything based on our logic.
But the gospel is about relationship, not calculation.

Abraham is the clearest example.
God promised him descendants as numerous as the stars, yet he kept calculating:

“But I don’t even have a child.”
“How could I become a great nation?”

And because of his calculations, he kept making mistakes—like taking Lot along instead of trusting God fully.

It wasn’t until Abraham surrendered his calculations and simply restored his relationship with God that true blessings began.

This principle applies everywhere—even in the wilderness journey of Israel.
When the people calculated their circumstances, they panicked and complained:

> “We’ll die out here. It would’ve been better to stay in Egypt!”

Faith is not based on human reasoning—it’s based on the unchanging covenant.

We must teach new believers to live by relationship with God—not by fear, performance, or worldly logic.

3. What to Enjoy — Acts 2:1-47

Finally, Jesus showed us in Acts 2 what we are meant to enjoy as His people:

1. Power — The Holy Spirit fills you with five kinds of strength: spiritual, mental, physical, financial, and relational.
2. Doors — As you worship and pray, God opens doors of evangelism and divine connections.
3. Path — God reveals the specific path you are to take in fulfilling His mission.

This is why worship itself is where everything starts.
Through worship, prayer, and the Word, we enter God’s timing and receive the strength to walk His path.

▣ Conclusion — Romans 7:25: The Battle of Two Bartizans

Romans 7:25 captures Paul’s personal confession:

> Inside us, there are two natures, and they are constantly at war.

These are the two bartizans—the one built on God’s throne and the one built on human effort and past imprinting.

To win this battle, we must establish:

1) The Platform

Build your spiritual platform where God’s power flows to give life to others.
When God begins to work through you, the church, your field, and your mission are revived.

2) The Watchtower (Bartizan)

Once the platform is established, set up the watchtower—a life of prayer where God keeps you alert and guarded.
Through this, healing begins, both within you and in the field.

3) The Antenna

Finally, God raises you as a spiritual antenna—connecting heaven’s power to the earth.
Through you, communication between God’s throne and the broken world becomes possible.

Practical Guidance for New Believers

We use the workbook “God’s Plan for New Family Members” to teach:

Prayer: Enjoy God’s blessings daily without conditions.
Economy of Light: Experience God’s provision for your mission.
Five Strengths: Spiritual, intellectual, physical, financial, and relational strength to fulfill God’s calling.

When guiding new believers, keep it simple.
Don’t overwhelm them with endless explanations.
Just point them to the gospel, the Word, and prayer—these are what truly save and transform lives.

Final Reminder

This is the critical time when everything gets imprinted into a new believer.
Whatever becomes imprinted eventually becomes their root and their spiritual nature.

Therefore, we must carefully guide them into:

The gospel of Christ
The filling of the Holy Spirit
The system of 7/7/7
Living by the covenant, not by calculations
Establishing the two bartizans for victory

This is how we raise disciples who will stand as spiritual platforms, watchtowers, and antennas—restoring the blessings of the throne and shining God’s light to the nations.
