(2024.09.03 237 New Family Field Worker Training
Scripture Reading: Galatians 2:20

---

▣ Introduction

This week’s “Newcomers & Commissioned Workers” message is extremely important. I always say it’s important—but this time, it truly is.

Why can’t so many nations and so many people come out of spiritual problems? You must find this answer and give it to newcomers. Last Sunday, a newcomer who’s a journalist texted me: “Pastor, the first-service message (‘A Christian without Christ,’ Sept 1) was the best message.” I thought, “He’s more committed than many long-timers—and he’s new!”

For our newcomers, the very first thing is this: “Completely settle the past.” If this isn’t settled, the struggle continues.

Prologue — The Gospel (Christ)

To do this, don’t miss the most important core: What is the Gospel? Who is Christ? You must present this correctly.

1. Gen 3:15 / Gen 6:14 / Ex 3:18 / 1 Sam 7:9 / Isa 7:14 / Matt 16:16

Gen 3:15 — The fundamental problem is solved: the woman’s offspring will crush the serpent’s head.
Gen 6:14 — Unconditional grace: whoever is inside the ark lives.
Ex 3:18 — Suffering doesn’t end on its own; go and offer the blood sacrifice—otherwise the hardship continues.
1 Sam 7:9 — “Return to the LORD.” At Mizpah, Samuel offered a lamb’s blood sacrifice. Philistia attacked, but God toppled them by a miracle of nature—and they never invaded again.
Isa 7:14 — Still, God’s people fall again. So: “The virgin will conceive and bear a son, and call his name Immanuel.”
Matt 16:16 — Even then, people miss it. Near the close of His public ministry, Jesus first asked, “Who do people say that I am?” (a brilliant question). The disciples answered: John the Baptist, Elijah, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets—i.e., that’s what they themselves thought. Then Jesus asked, “But you—who do you say I am?” When they were silent, Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus told him not to tell anyone yet.

2. The start of the problem—still happening now
If you don’t teach newcomers why we need Christ, they’ll never truly come out. Everything else is noise. “What good is it if you gain the whole world but lose your life?” Jesus said.

The moment you grasp this even a little, darkness collapses. Darkness must be broken. How can churches, homes, and lives be revived if darkness isn’t bound? God truly knows—and the forces of darkness know even better. They must conclude, “I can’t touch this person; I can’t operate in this church.” If instead they think, “I can play here; I can carry this person along,” nothing will work.

Gen 3 / 6 / 11 — This is how it began. Humans by nature center on “me,” and Satan hooks that.
Acts 13 / 16 / 19 — People then thrash about with religion, idols, and many works. It still doesn’t work.
Six states — People fall into six snares. This is still ongoing.

3. The Jews—Seven Disasters (0.1%)
You must tell them: the Jews missed this Gospel and suffered the seven disasters. Yet every time, God raised the few who enjoyed Christ and used them to restore things.

4. The Early Church (Gal 2:11–20)
Even the Early Church often failed to enjoy the Gospel’s power—the apostles included. God used Paul to state it plainly. Not that the early believers were discarded, but for world evangelization, God uses those who truly grasp the Gospel. That’s Gal 2:11–20 (last Sunday’s message).

Peter — Paul pleaded with Peter: “Why are you making trouble in the church over Jewish customs? Why insist on circumcision and avoiding meals with Gentiles?” (Peter had withdrawn out of fear.) Gal 2:20 is crucial.

James — James’s associates also pressured: “Follow Jewish law; be circumcised.” Many pastors still talk like this.

Barnabas — Even Barnabas was swayed. Paul didn’t merely “point it out”; he rebuked him. Then Paul declared, “I have been crucified with Christ… Christ lives in me.” You know the verse—but this is the backdrop: Paul, in anguish, confronted Peter.

Phil 3:1–21 — Paul’s confession: “What weakened Christ among the Jews? The privileges I once prized—I now count as loss, as rubbish. I have nothing to boast; I only pursue that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Earthly things? Our citizenship is in heaven. And the Name to which all things must submit has been given to us.” Unless newcomers receive this, they cannot grow.

5. The Medieval Church

Power & money — They bowed to power and money.
Marian veneration — They devised strange devotions. The issue isn’t Mary per se; it’s that without Christ as the answer, people will always invent something to worship.

You must give the answer—then darkness is broken. Satan knows Christ better than you do; that’s why he blocks you from hearing and enjoying Him. If a newcomer asks, “How do I evangelize?”—no need for a manual: If Christ is truly your answer, it happens. “How will I be healed?” Don’t obsess—if Christ is truly the answer, darkness falls. Make this your life’s task and pass it to newcomers; most believers never really receive it.

Work / People / Field — Where do people drop it? When work comes, they drop the Gospel; when people issues arise, they drop it; when they get to the field, they drop it—and then start saying odd things. In the medieval church, they needed money for the temple and “cleverly” sold indulgences—blocking the Gospel. They preached works like the Jews. But salvation isn’t by works; it’s by grace through faith—because nothing else can defeat darkness. Otherwise people remain bound for life. You must shine the light.

No need to ask, “How?” If the light of Christ is truly in me, isn’t it done? Shine and enjoy Him.

▣ Main Message — The Past (Wounds)

Because this was lost, people can’t let go of the past. The Achilles’ heel? Wounds—and many can’t overcome them.

1) Wounds

How do they begin?

1. Childhood — Often with things that seem “nothing.” A first child adored by everyone suddenly experiences the birth of a sibling; all eyes shift, and the older child feels crushing despair. If spiritually weak, damage can come right then—a wound that never fades. Wise parents should prepare the older child to welcome the baby (have someone else carry the infant in; invite the child to greet the baby, help, etc.). Many families also idolize the firstborn; younger siblings quietly carry lifelong wounds.

2. Parents — If a child judges parents as incompetent, it becomes a deep root. As adults they become aggressive, attacking leaders when they spot faults—subconsciously reliving parental pain. They become negative.

3. Illness / Disability — Not small wounds.

4. Accidents / Incidents — These leave trauma.

5. Spiritual problems — The most fearful—coming “for no reason,” yet inevitable apart from the Gospel.

Only the Gospel heals—not “just enough,” but when the Gospel is declared as finished: like Paul—“I died. My thoughts, my claims, my stance, my interests—none are needed. Christ lives in me.” Then works begin. This is vital for newcomers. When you explain Christ, the example you choose matters.

(Here followed an anecdote of rebuking a former co-worker’s complaints by reminding him of God’s grace in sparing his life for evangelism—i.e., don’t live by people; end it in Christ.)

2) Turning wounds into a platform

It’s hard to do alone; in Scripture, parents and ministers helped provide this platform.

1. Gen 37:11 — Jacob “kept” Joseph’s dreams in his heart. True healing happens when a person’s heart truly connects to God’s Word and Christ.
2. Ex 2:1–10 — Moses’s mother gave him the covenant: blood, Levite identity—fulfilled 80 years later.
3. 1 Sam 1:9–11 — Hannah set Samuel apart as a Nazirite, a leader to save the world. He slept by the ark and heard God’s voice.
4. 1 Sam 16:1–13 — Leaders/parents planted the exact covenant in David—so Goliath and Saul didn’t terrify him.
5. 1 Kgs 19:18–20 — What God spoke to Elijah was passed to Elisha—and answers started immediately.
6. Isa 6:13; 7:14 — Though Israel becomes worse, remnants will survive; carry this Gospel (only Immanuel breaks darkness).
7. 2 Tim 2:1–7 — “My son… Be a good soldier, an athlete, a farmer—God will give you understanding in everything.”

3) Turning the past into blessing

We can help provide the platform, but they themselves must enjoy the blessing.

1. The 7 Remnants — Each turned severe crises into blessings because they had a platform.

2. The Early Church —

Matt 16:16 — Peter’s confession;
Acts 4:12 — No other name for salvation;
1 Pet 2:9 — You are a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a chosen people—to declare light to those in darkness.

3. Gen 1:3; John 1:1–11; Matt 5:13–16 — God has given you the light of creation. Christ, the Light, shone on you. You’re not told “become light”; you are light. “Arise, shine; the glory of the LORD is upon you.” Enjoy this yourself—and help newcomers sense that Christ the true King, Priest, and Prophet has crushed all darkness.

▣  Conclusion — Explaining how to enjoy 7/7/7

(We’ll cover more in Part 2.) Teach them how to enjoy the 7 watchtowers / 7 journeys / 7 milestones.

1. Inevitable / Necessary / Absolute
“What’s come to you is inevitable—because the Light must come. It’s necessary—it must become your answer. And it’s absolute—God’s grace.” People chase everything and still end in darkness. Help them see what’s truly needed.

2. Watchtower—Watchman
God will raise a watchtower in you—that’s prayer. God becomes your Watchman, and you become a watchman who shines light to others.

3. Platform / Watchman-Tower / Antenna
As you keep this watchtower, God will give you a platform—not business “as before,” but a platform that shines light, a tower with a watchman, and an antenna where life is revived, connection occurs, and spiritual strength is received.

This is the first thing newcomers must know—and you must know it even better. As you keep walking, you’ll find your lifelong covenant. Wait for it. While listening to Sunday sermons, what you must enjoy for the week will emerge. Don’t miss it. Through broadcast and your prayer journal, you’ll see today’s word align—then you’re walking rightly. “How do the headquarters messages and my field match so exactly?” That’s healthy faith.

I bless you in Jesus Christ’s name to pass this blessing surely to every newcomer. Let’s pray.

Prayer. Thank You, God. Grant us a new beginning. Send us quickly to help newcomers truly enjoy Christ, so they come completely out of darkness. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Prayer Journal: August 30, 2025
Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service, December 1, 2024
Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:9-23

---

▣ Introduction
Thank you. Coming to America from Korea, I can feel how good the air is. Those of you who stay in America all the time may not feel it well. In the same way, because you have been saved in Christ, you can easily lose hold of how precious that is. Christians may take it for granted, but when the name of Christ is proclaimed, Satan trembles. At the mention of Christ’s name, darkness is bound. The background of hell is also bound.

Today, Part 2 is “What is in Christ.” What could there be?

1) 7/7/7
To know that, what Christ said is important, isn’t it? What is happening right now? Right now, I mean. What is happening while you are worshiping and praying?

(1) 7 bartizans—Christ Himself spoke of the kingdom of God and only the Holy Spirit. That means that while you are praying now, the Triune God is bringing three things to pass, isn’t He? The Word is being fulfilled now. Prayer answers are bound to happen now. And surely the work of salvation is taking place now. Those three things are taking place, aren’t they? Because they are happening, Jesus Himself said to us at this very time: the power of the throne works; then you will receive power. From Jesus—what kind of power? First, He gave us the power to solve our problems of the past/today/future. And He granted us the five powers. Not only that. He granted us strength to overcome the ruler of the kingdom of the air. At this very time, during prayer time and worship time, you enjoy the answer that lets you see your entire lifelong future. Even now, the work of establishing the three courtyards is taking place. I am certain about what will happen this year and next year. What did I just talk about? I talked about the 7 bartizans.

(2) 7 journeys—We now go on the journey toward the 25 of the throne. We follow the path on which the Triune God is working. There are definite ten platforms there. Even when you are alone, there is a secret by which you surely overcome. There are five assurances for enjoying the power of the throne. In any case, you can change the flow. And I can receive and give the lifelong answer. Sitting here now is a camp. The camp of the throne—I am talking about the 7 journeys now. It is happening now. Now. So “According to your faith be it done to you”—this is no ordinary saying. God has saved me and I prayed for health—then the work begins. Right?

(3) 7 guideposts—Knowing that it is absolutely impossible for us, on Calvary He solved every problem. So He called us and gave us the absolute mission. There is nothing to worry about and nothing to strive for. It is the absolute mission. In any case, you just have to discover the absolute. Then the work of Mark’s Upper Room, of experiencing that power, is bound to arise. God launched the work of world evangelization. That is the Antioch church. He called Paul. In fact, Peter’s team was excluded from world missions. So they first went to Asia, and there they were completely led by the Holy Spirit. Also, when doors are blocked, we get discouraged or do other things. Right? That time is even more important. Praying completely, you meet a turning point. That is Macedonia. And the goal is Rome. Because the 237 are there, because the 5,000 people groups can come to America, we save Rome. I talked about the 7 guideposts. Exactly as in the Bible, because it is being fulfilled, you should pray for that.

2) 300%
Then it will surely be like this. Not 100%. 300%. It must be so. The remnants’ studies 300%, your work 300%, it is possible by prayer. Because God accomplishes it—if even the demon-possessed do things, why can’t we? Bill Gates—he made things, didn’t he? 300%. Those people are Nephilim. Problems will come later, right? Steve Jobs did it, didn’t he? They all did it.

3) Matters of the kingdom (darkness, the messenger)
At this time, the matters of the kingdom of God are fulfilled. Two things. Right now, while you are praying and holding to the Word, the darkness is broken in the places related to you. Right? At this time, God surely does an important work—He sends the Lord’s messenger. Sometimes the Lord’s angel—it is the same thing. Sometimes by the work of the armies of heaven—it surely becomes like this. Now…

4) 24 (strength)/25 (blessing)/eternity (answer)
Then I do 24. So in the morning I gain great strength. And in all the schedules I must go through now, with this prayer I gain tremendous strength. During the day it is 25. I cannot do it by my ability, can I? By this power of God, during the day I turn everything into blessing. At night, with what is eternity, I find the answer. I am busy. So in a sense, when I go to a hotel, from the day I enter to the day I leave I hang “Do not Disturb.” I hate the coming and going that bothers me. Continually I gain strength in the morning, make blessings in the day, and obtain answers at night. I am busy. When I pray like this, I gain strength—so much strength that I am busy. Some people pray so little that they follow only their own thoughts; when you follow your own thoughts, you fall into Genesis 3. Why speak so much about other people’s matters, and even know them wrongly? If you are going to speak about others’ matters, you must know them accurately, but you know them wrongly. Even as if possessed by some spirit, you talk about things that don’t exist—no answer comes. Enjoy this. Gain strength, and your health will be restored—everything will be done. In a sense, once we have gained this strength, it doesn’t matter whether we are there or not.

Now then, let us see in the introduction: the reason God used Paul…

1) Philippians 3:1-21
(1) Other things—He paid no attention to other things.
(2) Wrong things—Paul threw away what was wrong.
(3) Worldly things—He also threw away worldly things. Did he not use worldly things? He rather utilized them. Right?

Look at his opening words. I was a Pharisee, from a great district, and I learned tremendous things—he said he considered these a loss. Why? Because by those he did not know Christ. And what did he say? It is completely different. We say we have done many things. I have achieved nothing, I have accomplished nothing; I simply press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. People keep talking about wrong things. As for earthly things—I tried them all. That is basic. I go toward the prize of the upward call of God. Different. He could not help but be used completely. Is our citizenship of Rome important? No, isn’t it? We have the citizenship of heaven—different.

2) Romans 1:16-17
Look at the confession of Romans 1:16-17. Because people persecuted and criticized Paul so much, Paul said this: I am not ashamed of the Gospel—no matter how much you say, this is something to boast of. I am not ashamed, for it is the power of God for salvation… The righteous will live by faith…

(1) Only the Gospel—For Paul, it was not just the Gospel. Only the Gospel…
(2) The Gospel of uniqueness—Not merely “Gospel.” The Gospel of uniqueness…
(3) The Gospel of re-creation—Everything comes alive. The Gospel of re-creation…

3) Colossians 2:9-11
Now we see Paul’s confessions. Colossians 2:9-11—we will see it next week. Here, something tremendous appears. Do not be deceived by human philosophy; do not be deceived by people’s words; in Christ are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

(1) Limited concentration—What do we call this? Completely restricted concentration; there is no need to keep doing wrong things. Is it because you are anxious? Why do you keep trying to do something? Do what must be done. Some people speak whatever pops into their head. That means a problem has come to the brain, and nothing works that way. Precise, restricted concentration—this is called Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation.

(2) Selected concentration—We have selected concentration with what God has given.

(3) Oneness concentration—Even if it seems there are difficulties now, it is not so. Oneness concentration—all things work together for good; everything joins to fulfill God’s plan. So I enjoy it without any particular reason. If I am sick, I give thanks in the sickness; I simply enjoy.

▣ Main message—Three restorations
Now then, what on earth did Paul speak of—now, in Christ? He is speaking of three restorations.

1. Restoration of the source of true power
What is true power? Restore its source. In verse 15, important words appear. Christ is the image of the invisible God. Verse 15—He is invisible, yet He is God. This is an astounding statement. Therefore, what is said?
1) Spiritual wisdom (verse 9)
In verse 9—every spiritual wisdom and understanding—this appears today in verse 9.
2) Will (verse 10)
Through Christ, He lets us know God and discover God’s will—that appears in verse 10.
3) Power (verse 11)
According to His glorious might, He will strengthen you with all power—this is verses 9, 10, and 11. You must believe it. In Christ—and not only these.

2. Restoration of the true human
In Christ, at last, we restore the true human. Until now, haven’t we lived like beasts, merely to eat and survive? Become a true human. Doing something merely to eat well and live well—if that is the case, it is better not to do it. What are we?
1) Light—inheritance (verse 12)
We are called to give the saints’ inheritance in the light. It is written so. As you know, that is verse 12.
2) Darkness (verse 13)
What is written? The reason He gave light is to rescue you from darkness—verse 13.
3) Redemption (verse 14)
And what is written? To redeem all our sins and transgressions, He sent Christ—verse 14. He sent Him to redeem. The Pharisees were greatly offended by these words. Right? Even now there are many Pharisees. They were extremely offended by this. So even their posterity was ruined. There is no way to block disaster. Though He spoke so, the Pharisees did not believe. They said you must keep all the Law—that is a lie. They cannot keep it while claiming to. That deceives themselves and deceives God. I am not saying we should intentionally fail to keep it—we cannot keep it. So He sent Him to redeem all our transgressions—this is what a true human is. Otherwise, we become worse than dogs. These days, dogs sit at home and relax, don’t they? People even dress them. Right? Dogs chew gum. If they sit still, everything is brought to them. We are worse than dogs. Restore the true human…

3. Restoration of the true economy
Restoration of the true economy, right? The economy of light, the missions economy—shouldn’t we at least do that? The future, the remnant economy. So when did God send Christ? Before all creation, in verse 15. Therefore, He is the Triune God. The Jews simply could not understand. “Abraham believed Me and was saved!” “Hey, how old are you?”—you cannot converse. The name of Christ is a tremendous name. It is the name that ends the darkness that existed before eternity. Right? It is the name that ends the curse formed in the Garden of Eden.
1) All things (verse 15)
That is what verse 15 says: He existed before all creation.
2) All authority (verse 16)
And what else? Something even more important. All things were created by Him—He said something even more astounding. All authority is for Him. Isn’t that right? Do you understand this? God raised Rome—so that He might evangelize it. God at one time blessed England. Why? To carry out the Gospel movement. God at one time blessed Germany. Why? To launch the Reformation. The Gospel disappeared from Europe. God blessed America. The reason—so that He might accomplish world evangelization. Now is the internet age. He blesses the multiethnic. So He said all authority exists for Him. I agree 100%. Korea is bound to receive some blessing. Why? There truly are people who evangelize. Right? Even if there were only one, He would bless; but there are many.
3) All things (verse 17)
He said something even more important. All things hold together in Him. We cannot help but restore these three economies. We cannot help but restore the true economy.
4) Origin, first, head (verse 18)
And He is the origin, the first, the head of the church—the origin, the first, the head of the church. He spoke astonishingly. That is verse 18.
5) Fullness (verse 19)
What is written in verse 19? All fullness dwelt in Him. All fullness was arranged to be connected in Christ. You must keep this in mind. That is verse 19.

▣ Conclusion: The name of Christ
Then with what should you draw the conclusion? The name of Jesus Christ—this is tremendous.
1) John 14:14
In John 14:14, ask in My name. Until now you did it by the blood of the lamb; now do it in My name. This is astounding. Before, you slaughtered an ox or something; now there is no need. Pray in My name—this is a tremendous name.
2) Acts 3:6
In Acts 3:6, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I command you: walk!”
3) Acts 16:16-18
In Acts 16:16-18, “In the name of Jesus Christ, come out, you unclean spirit!”
4) Philippians 3:21
In Philippians 3:21, it appears here: all things will be subject to that name. Try it.

Concentrate—and thus there are two kinds of prayer. ①There is prayer that enjoys status—because you are God’s child. The second is ②prayer that enjoys authority. Do concentrated prayer. May all darkness depart in the name of the Lord Jesus. May all beings that hinder the Gospel be bound in the name of Jesus Christ. Two kinds of prayer appear here. It is a tremendous name. You must enjoy it.

I am busy. I have no time to worry. How much time do you have that you can sit and worry? It is because you have too much time. Such a person should be taken to a cliff and tied up. Only then will they come to their senses and cry “Lord!”… How much time do you have that you spend it all on wrong talk about others? Enjoy this! As you open your eyes, enjoy strength. Right? Why? Because you must be witnesses. During the day, turn every problem into blessing. At night, truly receive healing and answers.

This is what is happening now to evangelism disciples across the nation and the world. It is only that you do not believe; but not believing does not make it disappear. At this very time, because it is happening, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to enjoy the greatest prayer and power.

Prayer. We thank God. We give glory to God. May all the darkness of the world be bound. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

December 1, 2024: Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Colossians 1:1-8

---

▣ Introduction
Thank you. Normally, the Immanuel Church sends out messages nationwide and worldwide. Today, we are worshiping together in a meaningful church here in LA for the World Community Service. I had a brief conversation with Pastor Workman and Mrs. Robin, and I felt true peace. So, I felt like I had truly met a real pastor. In Korea, there are many pastors who are not saved. You must receive grace today from this precious time and from the Word God has given us, together with believers across the nation and the world.

1. Paul, the one who had the greatest influence in history
Who is the person who had the greatest influence in all of history? It is Paul. He cannot be compared to Napoleon. Right? He cannot be compared to the Roman emperors. To give a simple example, Paul’s influence was so great that it changed the culture of the world. The freeing of the slaves in America was connected to this. President Lincoln did it, but it was based on the covenant found in Galatians 3:28. He held onto the confession Paul made. How could Paul have had such an immense influence?

※ May the God who worked in Paul work in me and in our church as well.
You must pray earnestly for this today, all over the nation and the world: “May the God who worked in Paul work in me and in our church.” On Sundays, you should not be distracted by other things. You must firmly hold onto God’s Word. On Sunday, you must grab hold of the Word and respond with “Amen.” If you shout “Amen” at your workplace, people might think you’re crazy. If you’re walking down the street, say “Amen” in your heart, but if you shout it out loud, people may think something’s wrong with you. But on Sundays, during worship, we must shout “Amen.”

Dr. Hwang Soo-Gwan once said this: women tend to live about 10 years longer than men on average. Sometimes 10 or 15 years longer. “Why is that?” he was asked. He said, “Because when women receive grace during worship, they respond with ‘Amen.’” Men don’t usually do that. Also, when there’s something funny, women laugh freely, but men don’t laugh easily. Even when something is funny, they clench their teeth and suppress it. But here, I see many of you laughing, and that’s good. On Sundays, you must truly hold onto the grace of “Amen” and receive answers through it.

2. The hope stored up in heaven – when you have hope, you can endure and wait; accurate hope will be fulfilled
How was Paul able to carry out world evangelization like that? Today’s passage explains it clearly. It says, “The hope stored up in heaven.” That’s incredible, isn’t it? When it says, “the hope stored up in heaven,” it means this: if you have hope, you will surely receive answers. Right? A person with hope can endure. Without hope, you cannot endure. A person with hope can wait. Without hope, you cannot wait.

I’ve shared this story before. Back when I was in Busan, my car had become very old, so the engine would often stall. I didn’t tell anyone, but one of our church members somehow found out and bought me a nice, brand-new car. I got a call: “Pastor, we’ve completed the registration and will deliver the car to your house by 10 a.m. tomorrow.” I was delighted when I heard that, of course. The next morning, after finishing early morning prayer, I went for exercise. I parked my old car at the entrance of Taejongdae. Then, a woman was backing up her car and accidentally hit mine. My car door was completely dented. She was so shocked and repeatedly apologized. I told her, “It’s okay.” She asked for my phone number, but I said, “It’s okay.” She said, “Are you sure it’s okay?” “Yes, it’s okay. Please go ahead.” She drove away but then rolled down her window and said, “Thank you so much. You have such a kind face.” I didn’t tell her that I was picking up a new car later that day. I wasn’t upset at all. The old car was going to be scrapped anyway, so what did it matter?

If you have hope, you can endure. If you have hope, you can wait. And accurate hope will surely be fulfilled. That’s why the Bible says we are given faith, hope, and love.

3. The Gospel of truth is the hope stored up in heaven
So then, what exactly is the hope referred to in today’s passage? This is important. The answer is given here: it says, “the Gospel of truth.” Isn’t that amazing? It says, “the Gospel of truth.” This is the hope we must hold onto.

Many people say, “Good health is a blessing.” That’s a wrong idea. The one who has received the blessing must also have health. Right? If someone without God’s blessing has great health, it can actually become a problem. Some people say, “Money is a blessing.” That’s also wrong. If someone who hasn’t received the blessing of God has a lot of money, it becomes a headache. People also say, “Living a long life is a blessing,” but if someone without God’s blessing lives a long life, it’s not good. Right?

This true Gospel message is the hope — where is it? It is stored up in heaven. Paul firmly held onto this hope.

---

▣ Main Message 
So then, what happens when you firmly hold onto this hope?

1. My own curses and disasters will be driven away
First of all, this hope drives away my curses and disasters. Do you know why?

1) We were supposed to be cursed, but God gave us grace. Because of this, the disasters were removed. This is peace (verse 2).
In verse 2 it says, “Grace and peace to you.” Do you know what the opposite of grace is? It is the curse we were supposed to receive. We should have been cursed, but God gave us grace. When curses come, disasters follow. Right? There is no way to avoid disasters once curses come. But when grace comes, the disasters disappear. That’s why it says, “peace.” This is very important.

2) The Jews did not know this grace, so they were cursed and left disasters to their posterity – the 7 ages, Islam, Communism.
The Jews did not know this grace. That’s why they went through the curses of the 7 ages, and their descendants faced disasters. This is something you must remember. What is the hope that is stored up in heaven? It is the Gospel of truth. Without the Gospel, you fall into eternal curses and disasters. Do you know who the ancestors of Islam were? They were the Jews. Do you know who the father of Communism, Karl Marx, was? He was also a Jew. Without the Gospel, you end up leaving behind eternal curses.

3) “We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.” (verse 3)
But there are so many people who don’t know the Gospel. If you know the Gospel, it is incredible. That’s why in verse 2 it says, “Grace and peace to you.” And in verse 3: “We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, when we pray for you.”

2. The Gospel blocks the curses and disasters that come upon the entire world
Secondly, how powerful is this Gospel? It is powerful enough to block the curses and disasters that come upon the whole world. The Gospel blocks the spiritual plague that spreads all over the world. That’s why we must do missions. This Gospel is the power that saves the entire world.

1) The Gospel that blocks curses and disasters in the whole world (verse 6) – promised to Abraham.
Verse 6 says, “This Gospel that has come to you is bearing fruit and growing all over the world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.” This is the power of the Gospel. It appears all over the world. Among the 5,000 people groups, the darkness and curses are broken down by the Gospel. That’s why God promised Abraham that through him, all nations would be blessed. But Israel did not understand this correctly.

2) The promise of Jesus – Matthew 28:18–20 “all nations,” Mark 16:15–20 “all creation,” Acts 1:8 “to the ends of the earth.”
This blessing was promised by Jesus after His resurrection. We must hold onto it exactly. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” “Go and make disciples of all nations.” This is Jesus’ promise. “All authority in heaven and on earth” means that all the curses and disasters in the whole world are broken down. To receive blessings, first comes blessing. To receive disasters, first comes curse. Right? To rescue America from curses and disasters, there is only the Gospel.

After His resurrection, Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the Gospel to all creation.” He especially said, “In My name drive out demons. Place your hands on the sick, and they will get well.” And He said, “You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

3) What God gave to Paul and his team – Romans 16:25–27 “the mystery hidden for long ages past but now revealed… that leads to eternal glory.”
The ones who completely fulfilled this blessing were Paul and his team. What did God give them? It says, “the mystery kept hidden for long ages past, but now revealed… so that all nations might believe and obey Him.” I realized this and continuously received incredible answers. Some people ask, “Isn’t life hard?” There is no time for that. When problems come, I finish them in 5 minutes—with answers. Why? Because I’m too busy enjoying blessings. Right? There is so much power to gain in prayer. But many people waste their time talking about others. That is because they don’t pray enough. There is no time to waste like that. God promised something incredible: “What was hidden from long ages past is now revealed to you and will last forever.” It is tremendous.

3. The Gospel blocks the curses and disasters that will come upon future generations
In verse 5 it says, “the hope stored up for you in heaven.” This has an important meaning. Why does it say “stored up in heaven”?

1) Jesus said He explained the kingdom of God for 40 days and would give that to us.
Jesus said, “For 40 days He spoke about the kingdom of God.” That is what He promised to give. Why? Because the Gospel blocks the disasters that will come upon future generations. It’s not just for me. It’s not only for the world today. It is for blocking the curses and disasters that will come upon future generations. That’s why it says, “stored up in heaven.”

2) The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne.
He has given us the bartizan of the throne. He is leading us to walk the journey of the throne. And He blesses us to stand at the guideposts of the throne. How amazing is that?

3) The kingdom of God that comes during worship and prayer, and the works of the kingdom of God that are established in the church, field, and home.
Even now, during this worship, during prayer, the kingdom of God is coming. Isn’t that right? That is the true answer. As you sit here now, the kingdom of God is being established in your church, in your field, and in your home. You must believe this. Doors to the 5,000 people groups will surely open. You must believe this.

---

▣ Conclusion – The Gospel of truth
Now let us conclude. The hope stored in heaven is called the Gospel of truth. What does this mean? Will history arise if pastors simply preach well? No. What matters is the Gospel of truth. You must never lose this. The Gospel of truth is the hope stored in heaven.

Suppose I wrote a letter to you. A letter always has a purpose. The beginning—“Dear so-and-so, are you well?”—that’s not the point. “I pray for your health”—that’s not the main thing. There is something specific I want to say. Right?

1. The core of the Bible – the conclusion of faith is the salvation of souls (1 Peter 1:9).
   The Bible also has something specific it wants to say. In 1 Peter 1:9 it says, “The end result of your faith is the salvation of your souls.”

1) Genesis 3:15 – the offspring of the woman.
In Genesis 3:15 it says, “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” Jesus Christ will break the power of Satan. That is what you must firmly hold onto in the Bible. Everything else is just events to explain the Gospel.

When you send someone on an errand, you might say, “Take this document to someone. And buy some bread on the way.” The bread is not essential. The document is. If that person throws the document anywhere and only remembers “bread, bread, bread,” then you can never trust him again. Right?

2) Exodus 3:18 – the blood of the lamb.
The Bible emphasizes this: “On the day you put the blood of the lamb on your doorposts, you will come out.”

3) Isaiah 7:14 – Immanuel.
Again, when Israel became captives, the prophecy was given: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” There is no greater answer than this: God is with us. There is no greater blessing than this: God is with me in my work.

4) Matthew 16:16 – Christ.
Later, when Israel had become a Roman colony, Jesus asked in Caesarea Philippi, a city named after Caesar and Philip. It was meaningful. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?” All the answers were wrong. Then Peter said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus was astonished and blessed him: “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by flesh and blood, but by My Father in heaven. You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.”

2. Jesus told them not to tell anyone until He gave the important message on Mt Olive
You must listen carefully. After Peter’s confession, Jesus said, “Do not tell anyone.” What does this mean? Shouldn’t He have said, “Spread this everywhere”? But He said, “Tell no one.” That’s why you must hold firmly to the Gospel of truth.

After His resurrection, He said the opposite. Right? “Go into all the world. Make disciples of all nations. Go to the ends of the earth. I will be with you. I will give you power.” Then on Mt Olive, He gave them the important message. Before that, He told them, “Do not go out. Do not tell anyone.”

1) During the 3 years of His public ministry – what to change.
During His 3 years of ministry, Jesus spoke about what must be changed. But the church today does the opposite. For example, Jesus said forgive seventy times seven, but churches refuse to forgive. Jesus told us not to do certain things, but that’s exactly what the churches are doing. That’s why on Mt Olive, He gave the truly important message.

2) Calvary – “It is finished.” All blessings must start here. Find them all.
On Calvary, He said, “It is finished.” Everything must start from here. “If it is finished, then why is life still so hard?” The answer lies here. “If it is finished, then why am I still poor?” That’s why I had no choice but to go into the field. There, I discovered all the blessings. You must pray in this way.

3) Mt Olive – the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne.
Then He called them to Mt Olive. “From now on, you will walk the journey of the throne. To do this, you are watchmen. You are pilgrims.” He explained the bartizan of the throne and the guidepost of the throne. You must hold firmly to the Gospel of truth. The disciples lost everything Jesus had given them, so what happened? But when I realized this, I prayed only this prayer. As I continued praying, the 7 bartizans became visible. As I kept praying, the 7 journeys became visible. And everywhere I went, the 7 guideposts became visible. You must do this. This incredible mystery is stored as hope in heaven. It will surely be fulfilled.

(1) Build the bartizan of God within you – the 7 bartizans – 100% preparation.
Looking at Jesus’ words, they mean: “Build the bartizan of God inside you.” This was 100% preparation.

(2) The Lord will be with you on the path you walk – the 7 journeys – 100% in the field.
He promised: “I will be with you on the path you walk.” That is the 7 journeys. That is 100% in the field.

(3) From Calvary to Rome – the 7 guideposts – 100% system preparation.
From Calvary to Rome, He gave the 7 guideposts. This was 100% preparation of the system. You must hold this. That is the Gospel of truth. That is our hope. Why? Because it will surely be fulfilled.

3. The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age – 24, 25, eternity
What must you hold onto in this church? Jesus once overturned the tables in the temple in anger. Where was it? It was in the Courtyard of the Gentiles. That was also the Courtyard of the children. That was also the Courtyard of healing prayer. But they had turned it into a marketplace. Jesus overturned it. In this church, you must establish the three courtyards. You must remember this. Tomorrow I will explain more.

Why did Jesus intensively teach for 40 days? To open the three-day weekend age. Right? Without concentration, it won’t work. Why did He pour out grace at the Mark’s Upper Room? To open the holy meditation age. Right? Without God’s power, it won’t work.

Revival will come without fail. Hold 1st, 2nd, and 3rd services. The church will be filled with those who are to be saved. But if they are not healed, they won’t come. If they are left sick, they will not come. Right? That’s why we must do healing. And the remnants must come and gain strength. That is the children’s courtyard. It must be done. Many people with spiritual problems must come and receive healing. Do this 24. Then the 25 of God’s kingdom will come. Then the works of God’s kingdom called eternity will be fulfilled. You must hold onto this covenant for Korea, for the world, and for every region.

The hope stored in heaven. The hope stored in the throne. God’s Word that will come with unstoppable power. On this Sunday, pray all day long and experience His power. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. May today be the day of healing. May we become spiritual summits. May healing occur even in the diseases we do not know about. May true hope be with us. May the hope stored up in heaven become ours. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

2024.11.30 Core Message
Scripture Reading: Genesis 1:27-28

---

Restoring the Economy That Has Been Stolen. Right now, you can see that everything has been taken away by the three organizations.

▣ Introduction _ Genesis 1:27, 28
When God first spoke, He created us in His image, and there was God’s first command. “Subdue it, rule over it, and be fruitful.” This part is what we must restore.

1. Prophecy
   So, among those who believed this prophecy, very few restored this blessing.

1) Genesis 3:15, Genesis 22:1-21 – Joseph
In Genesis 3:15, God prophesied the amazing Gospel: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” And God also told Abraham, “Through your seed, all nations will be blessed.” He spoke about the ram as well. But very few fulfilled this; one of them was Joseph. Joseph went to the land of Egypt and became a person God used to make Him known to the entire world.

2) Exodus 3:18 – Moses
In Exodus 3:18, it was Moses.

3) Isaiah 7:14 – Babylonian remnants
Truly, very few people experienced this Gospel movement. But for those who held onto the covenant, works definitely arose — Isaiah 7:14. It was the Babylonian remnants who received the covenant of Isaiah 7:14. Through them, world evangelization arose, and a great work took place.

2. Peter’s Confession – Matthew 16:16-20
   Peter confessed this covenant in Matthew 16:16, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” He received an incredible blessing that cannot be changed: “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Even when he ran away, Jesus came to restore him and gave him the covenant again. And then in verse 20, He said, “Tell no one.” This part is extremely important.

3. Matthew 16:20
Why did He tell them not to speak to anyone? This is very important.

1) 7 bartizans

2) 7 journeys

3) 7 guideposts

After Jesus’ resurrection, He gave them the true bartizans, journeys, and guideposts. At that time, He told them to go to the ends of the earth. But first, they had to wait. They had to go with this power.

[Paul – his team] (Acts 19:8)
Amazingly, the one who truly fulfilled this was Paul and his team. In Acts 19:8, Paul quoted exactly what Jesus taught.

▣ Main Message
To these people, to this team, God restored three kinds of economy.

1. The economy of light
   First, He restored the economy of light to those who held onto the covenant.
2. The mission economy
   Second, He restored the mission economy. We must be able to do missions, right? We must study enough to do missions and build up our work enough to do missions.
3. The remnant economy
   The remnant economy. These three are very important blessings of economy.

1. The economy of light – (light)
Now, to have the economy of light, what must we know? We must know what the light is.

1) Genesis 1:1-3
The economy of light comes from Genesis 1:1-3 — “God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.” He first shined the light of creation.

2) Isaiah 60:1-3
In Isaiah 60:1-3: “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you.”

3) John 1:11, 12
In John 1:11, it says that Jesus Christ came as the light: “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

[Only Gospel (Offering)]
So, when a church focuses on only the Gospel, offerings given there become part of the economy of light. This is critical. There are churches that truly hold to only the Gospel. When making decisions about church administration or any matter, do not ask, “Is this advantageous to me?” but rather, “Is this advantageous for the Gospel?” Always choose based on what benefits the Gospel. That is “Only Gospel.” If you do this, God will pour out the economy of light. Just watch and see.

So, for Pastor Song, since he is in this blessed timetable, he must focus only on the Gospel. Everyone uses the term “only Gospel,” but when making decisions, we must choose the Gospel-centered way.

That’s why I told Pastor Song, “Create three separate worship services.” First, one service just for the congregation, the first service. Second, have a separate worship just for the multiethnic people, where no Koreans attend. There are two reasons for this. First, if Koreans attend, it becomes harder for the multiethnic people to freely receive strength. Second, the message gets hindered and doesn’t flow clearly. They can attend the first service, but for their own separate worship, Koreans should not be there.

Third, have a service just for the sick, with direct messages for them. No need for extra people there except for translators. Do not let unprepared visitors attend; they often disrupt the environment and discourage the sick from coming back.

If Pastor Song establishes these three worship services, the church will become strong. The goal is not becoming a big church, but a church must grow when it focuses only on the Gospel. Then the economy of light will come.

2. The mission economy
   To have the mission economy, we must know what missions are:

1) The plague of darkness
Missions block the spiritual epidemic — the plague of darkness spread by Satan.

2) Globalization of disasters
Disasters are spreading globally, and missions block this.

3) Cultural domination by Satan
Missions confront and stop the cultural influence of Satan.

4) Hell’s background
Everyone outside Christ lives under the background of hell. Missions deliver people from this state.

5) Salvation — the background of the throne
Lastly, missions reveal salvation and the background of the throne. This is missions.

[Only Evangelism]
God pours the mission economy into the churches focused on only evangelism. Think about it. If this towel is dirty, you throw it away. But if this towel contains precious jewels, you treasure it and entrust it to someone reliable to deliver. Likewise, God entrusts the mission economy to those who are trustworthy — those who focus on only evangelism.

This Sunday, I will talk more about this during service, but you must truly save the church. Most believers do not know how to pray and have not been evangelized. When problems arise, they lose the Gospel and only follow their own thoughts — that’s Genesis 3. That’s why we must absolutely hold onto only the Gospel, only evangelism.

3. The remnant economy — the scattered ones, sojourners, and remaining ones
   To understand the remnant economy, you must first know what a remnant is. God raised remnants for a reason:

1) The remaining ones (Gospel)
Remnants are those who remain with the Gospel when everyone else loses it.

2) The ones who remain (Power)
Remnants are those who continue to stand because they know God’s power.

3) The ones who will remain (Culture)
Remnants are those who will remain in the future and change the culture through the Gospel.

4) The ones who will leave behind (Future Generations)
Remnants are those who will leave behind the Gospel, God’s power, and the covenant for future generations.

To such people, God pours out the remnant economy.

[Mission — Future Generations]
Among the scattered, sojourners, and remaining ones, God raises those who will focus only on missions, especially among the future generations. God pours the remnant economy into them.

These three restorations are not about simply eating, working, and dying — everyone does that. Rather, the people who truly restored them were Paul’s team. Paul understood Jesus’ message in Matthew 16:20 about the 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts. And those who helped Paul understood as well. When Paul said, “I must also see Rome,” the disciples all aligned with him — these are the people mentioned in Romans 16.

God poured the mission economy onto them — He poured it abundantly. If you have time, look up the ICC Commentary (International Critical Commentary). It is a difficult academic commentary, and one author spent decades just writing about Romans. It talks about Priscilla and Aquila — I read it, and it was incredible. They have a tomb in Rome, and they used their tremendous wealth to save the world. They devoted their lives to supporting Paul and still received incredible blessings.

Some people refuse to give offerings, but then where is their wealth stored? If it’s not in heaven, they have nothing. That’s when I realized: faith is the budget, and blessings are the settlement. I understood this when I read that commentary.

2024.05.28 – 237 Tuesday Disciple Training Lecture 3 – Field Gospel Message Lessons 74
Scripture Reading: Matthew 10:40-42

---

♠Introduction
Before our next meeting, I’ll probably introduce the textbook to you through a broadcast. There was a lecture series we once started at Sooyoungro Church, bringing pastors together — I plan to use that as a reference for some parts.

Today, we complete this entire volume of the Field Gospel Message. Therefore, there are three things you must always remember:

---

① Start (Bartizan)

Whenever you start anything, you must accurately understand God’s Word and His plan — this becomes your bartizan. But there’s a critical question here: whose bartizan are you standing under? Is it Satan’s, or is it God’s?

Right now, nearly the entire global church is trapped in spiritual idol worship. That’s why the first lesson today is this: if you understand this core point, you’ll begin receiving countless answers automatically.

I’m almost embarrassed to share testimonies because they’re so abundant. If someone asks me to share, I hesitate — it’s not because I did anything, but because I can’t handle the magnitude of what God has given me. This isn’t my doing; it’s God’s work.

And you, pastors and elders, are the main agents meant to enjoy and testify to this blessing.

---

② Plan (Challenge)

Today’s second point: God’s plan is absolute. Because His plan is certain, we must challenge based on it. Don’t miss this.

Moses didn’t stubbornly drag the Israelites out of Egypt on his own initiative — he moved according to God’s absolute plan. Paul didn’t go to Rome because of personal courage or ambition; he went because God’s eternal plan demanded it.

This plan must be discovered in every setting — whether in small matters, big matters, your pulpit, or your daily work.

---

③ Finish (Resolution)

The third point: how do you finish? With resolution.

Your life must be built this way:

• Establish your bartizan correctly from the start
• Challenge toward God’s absolute plan
• Make a firm resolution to conclude your life in God’s will

In a sense, this is the same principle in life, sermons, and evangelism:

• Introduction → Main Point → Conclusion
• Start → Process → Finish

The same applies to evangelism. When you enter a field, you first tear down the wrong bartizans and establish God’s. The same principle applies to your work and every area of life: build the foundation correctly, challenge God’s plan, and finish entirely in Him.

---

Introduction — Resolving to Finish in God’s Way

So what does it mean to finish in God’s way?

---

1) Resolve for Yourself and Your Work

You must decide concerning yourself and your work — the calling God has entrusted to you. Though each person’s situation differs, there is one common key:

(1) “Natural,” (2) “Inevitable,” (3) “Absolute.”

This is the essential answer you must find.

If you’re thinking, “Why is my business struggling? What do I do?” — you’ll never find the answer that way. You must instead discover the “natural” reasons: “Why am I here? Why this situation?” That’s inevitability.

Then comes absoluteness: What absolute blessing is hidden here?

The 7 remnants discovered these truths:

• “Why did Israel become slaves in Egypt?” Naturally, they lacked power and the gospel.
• “Why was it me, in this time, in this place?” Inevitably, God chose you.
• “What is left for me?” The absolute covenant.

Those who fail to see this complain and blame others — that’s foolishness. Problems arise because they were bound to come. Ask instead:

• “Why now?” — That’s inevitable.
• “Where is God leading me from here?” — That’s absolute.

---

2) Resolve for God’s Plan

From this point on, decide to live according to what God has prepared. When you do, His provisions become visible.

(1) Slavery / Captivity / Colonization / Scattering
Why did God allow slavery, captivity, and exile? To restore the gospel they had lost.

(2) Culture / Level / Capability
Why did God send His people into strong nations? To see and surpass their advanced cultures and standards.

(3) 237 Nations & 5,000 Tribes (0.1%)
Even now, God sends you to strategic fields because of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. That’s why He raises the 0.1% to influence the world.

(4) 7/7/7 → 24 / 25 / Eternity
This leads us to the essential key: the 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts — but to truly enjoy them, you must enter 24 / 25 / eternity. This isn’t burdensome — it’s the joy of enjoying what God has already given.

(5) Calling (Mission)
Finally, God has given you a specific mission:

• ① Your work
• ② Your church
• ③ World missions

This blessing is natural, inevitable, and absolute. You must discover it.

---

3) Resolve for the Future

Your last resolution concerns the future: this is about the next generation.

(1) Three Courtyards (Work)
The three courtyards must never be lost:

• Courtyard of the gospel
• Courtyard of healing
• Courtyard of the next generation

Especially you elders, deacons, and church leaders — build your life’s direction on this foundation. Don’t realize too late. Begin now and prepare the future.

(2) The Three-Day Weekend Age
Even your work and ministry must adapt to the coming three-day weekend age (Friday, Saturday, Sunday).

(3) 237 Nations / 5,000 Tribes
God is preparing the evangelization of all peoples through:

• Remnants
• TCKs (Third Culture Kids)
• NCKs / CCKs — globally scattered covenant people

---

When you align your prayer with these resolutions, answers come naturally. Keep these in your prayer consistently, and not only will your health recover, but God will give you the five powers — spiritual, intellectual, physical, financial, and manpower strength — and authority over the forces of darkness. Through this, unprecedented works will arise in your church and field.

---

♠Main Point

Now we come to the main point: if I cannot do this by myself, yet God has already prepared everything, what is the conclusion?
The answer is found in Matthew 10:40-42: the blessing of the gospel-bearer.

“Even a cup of cold water given in the name of a disciple will not lose its reward.”

If you receive a disciple in the name of a disciple, you receive a disciple’s reward. If you assist a prophet, you share in the prophet’s reward. When you receive those sent by Christ, it is as if you receive Christ Himself.

---

1. Privileges Given to the Evangelist (Matthew 10:1)

Among many privileges, focus on these from Matthew 10:

1. Authority to drive out impure spirits
2. Authority to heal every disease
3. Authority to restore what is weak

(Reference: Mark 16:15-20)
Whenever you encounter those who are sick or oppressed, proclaim the gospel clearly, and help them pray with this authority.

---

2. Qualifications of the Evangelist (Matthew 10:3-4)

Verses 3-4 list the qualifications of God’s chosen evangelists:

1. Chosen ones
2. Weak ones
3. Poor in spirit
4. Faithful ones

(Reference: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31)
God deliberately chooses the weak so that His power alone is revealed. Our qualification isn’t based on human strength — we are qualified because God has already given us His gospel and entrusted us to proclaim it.

---

3. Method of Proclaiming the Gospel (Matthew 10:5-15)

1. Seek the lost (vv. 5-6)
2. Proclaim the kingdom of heaven (v.7)
3. Set the oppressed free (v.8)
4. Do not worry about daily provision (v.9)
5. Bless the households you enter (vv. 12-15)

The core method: declare the kingdom of God wherever you go.

---

4. Warnings About Persecution (Matthew 10:16-33)

Jesus prepared His disciples in advance:

(1) Conduct wisely (v.16) — Be gentle as doves, yet wise as serpents.
(2) Expect persecution (vv. 17-23) — Even families, workplaces, and friends will misunderstand and oppose you at first. But your testimony will eventually lead many to faith.
(3) Do not worry about what to say (vv. 19-29) — God will give you the words.
(4) Do not fear — Not death, not hardship, not rejection. God even numbers the hairs on your head and values you far more than sparrows.

---

5. The Blessings of the Gospel-Bearer (Matthew 10:34-42)

1. New things after proclaiming the gospel (vv. 34-36)
2. Whoever loses their life for the gospel will find it (vv. 37-39)
3. Oneness with Christ (v.40) — To receive the gospel-bearer is to receive Christ Himself.
4. Unfailing reward (vv. 41-42) — Even a cup of cold water given in His name will not go unrewarded.

---

♠Conclusion
Therefore, understand this clearly: you are an evangelist. You are not just “someone.” Especially you church leaders — you are God’s chosen instruments.

1. Your Work — Save people through your work and industry.
2. Your Church — Save those who have failed within the church. Those you help in their darkest hour will never forget you.
3. Your Field — Raise key disciples and leaders in your workplace and mission field.

These three together — saving people, failures, and leaders — lead directly to world evangelization. This is exactly what Paul and his team did.

---

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God the Father, and the power of the Holy Spirit rest upon every evangelist called to save the future generations — from now until eternity.
Amen.

 

2024.05.28 – 237 Tuesday Disciple Training Lecture 2 – Field Gospel Message Lessons 73
Scripture Reading: Ephesians 6:10-20

---

In our first session, we confirmed why answers come and why they do not. If there are idols inside us, or if we have satanic bartizans built up within us, we cannot receive answers.

Sometimes, yes, pastors can be a source of grace for believers. But when church members receive answers themselves — especially when elders receive answers — the pastor gains real strength. It gives pastors a stronger sense of identity in ministry and fills them with great grace.

For me, there are unforgettable moments. I used to assume that pastors preaching and evangelizing was natural. But when I witnessed lay members doing these things, I was deeply shocked. I didn’t express it outwardly, but inwardly, I felt as if something inside my life had shifted.

One example comes from a man named Hwang ○○ from Busan — he’s now with the Lord. This man was a 5th-degree black belt in Taekwondo — essentially, an instructor. You want to see how much this man treasured the gospel? When he went to serve in the military, naturally, he should have written down that he was a 5th-degree master — but he didn’t. He just left it blank. He thought to himself: “I must focus on sharing the gospel while I’m in the military.”

By God’s grace, the officer teaching Taekwondo there was transferred elsewhere, so people began searching for someone who could replace him. That’s when they found out he was a 5th-degree master, and he became the instructor in the army. Because of that, he didn’t have to go through the usual drills — he taught soldiers Taekwondo directly. And through that, he began evangelizing.

He showed me a list of the names of those who accepted Christ in the military and asked me to pray for them. After leaving the army, he ran his own Taekwondo academy, but he did something unusual: he put up a sign saying, “I’m not very skilled, so only those who believe in Jesus, or are willing to believe, should come. If not, don’t bother coming.”

And yet, God blessed him so much. He taught Taekwondo while preaching the gospel on a chalkboard to students, and because he was excellent at what he did, his academy grew rapidly. At that time, in Busan city, his academy had the largest number of students among all Taekwondo schools. Everyone in Busan knew who he was. Seeing someone like that… it moves you. He lived entirely centered on the gospel. It left a deep impression on me.

Here’s another story. At the time, I was an associate pastor, and he was just a regular layperson. One day, he got promoted to a high position at a bank. Naturally, his church celebrated, his family celebrated — everyone congratulated him. But two weeks later, he came to me on a Sunday and said, “Pastor, I’m planning to resign.”

I asked, “Why? You just got promoted!” Everyone else was happy for him, but he explained: “I once prayed to God and made a covenant — one day, I would become a missionary.” And as he thought about it during this season of being celebrated, he realized: “Isn’t this the time to go? If I wait until I’m old and retiring, going to missions just because I have nothing else left… would that be right?”

It shocked me. I told him I’d pray. When I asked, “Where are you planning to go?” he said he didn’t know yet. Usually, when people prepare for missions, they pick the country first, right? But he said, “I’ll go wherever God sends me after my interview.”

When I asked him about financial support, he said, “We do not accept missionary support.” That shocked me even more. “What? You’re going as a missionary with no external support?” He said, “I’ve been preparing personally.”

Soon after, he told me he would be leaving for the Philippines to enter graduate school. He said, “Please pray for me — I have one month left to pass my driver’s license exam.” I told him it would be difficult. Back then, if you failed the test once, you had to wait a month before retaking it, and I had failed once myself. I even joked, “Jo Eun-Taek failed 11 times.”

But his reply stunned me: “Pastor, I’ll pass.” I asked, “How are you so confident?” And he said, “Because God knows I only have one month.” And sure enough — he passed. That was a layperson.

---

There was another young adult in the same church — a successful businessman and a true man of prayer. He lived completely for the gospel. When he started his first store, he specifically chose the worst commercial areas of Busan, where shops were struggling and failing, and he opened there intentionally. He prayed, set up worship, and invited God’s presence into those places. And incredibly, business began to flourish.

By the time he had opened his fourth store, he came to me and said: “Pastor, last week I fasted.” I asked, “What happened? Did something bad occur?” Normally, people fast when there’s a crisis. But he said, “No, nothing happened.”

So I asked why, and he replied, “I’ve started becoming greedy. And that frightened me. So I fasted for a week and prayed to God, confessing my greed and asking for forgiveness.” He told me, “Whether my business succeeds or fails, I leave that to God. If I make money, I’ll give offerings, support missions, and continue evangelizing.”

What could I say to that? These lay believers understood why God was giving them answers. And that was what I taught during our first session: many criticize idol-worshiping nations, but the reality is that the idols and bartizans inside us are far more terrifying. What are we going to do about them? That’s what we addressed first.

---

Introduction — Challenge (Plan)

Now, in this second session, we must discuss something very important: if we are certain of God’s will, we must challenge boldly. The problem is, many of us challenge without first being sure of God’s will. Among all challenges, what’s the very first one?

Today’s message title is: “Overcoming the Spirit of False Prophets.”

---

1) Identity (No Excuses)

The very first challenge is your identity. Who am I? That’s the starting point. God has called us — do you understand how important that is? There is no excuse for not responding to this calling.

(1) Parents — Look carefully at the parents who raised the remnants. Look at the challenges they made — they’re remarkable. Take Moses’ mother, for example. She made a decisive challenge. She entrusted Moses to God, sending him into Pharaoh’s palace, believing God would use him to evangelize Egypt.

(2) Leaders — Look at the leaders who raised the 7 remnants. They were incredible, too.

(3) The 7 Remnants — Among them, the 7 remnants…

(4) The Early Church — And then look at Paul and the early church…

(5) Romans 16 Members — Finally, the people in Romans 16 made their own decisive challenges.

Before engaging in spiritual battle, you must first receive this answer. Once even one of you properly stands within the covenant and receives God’s answer, that’s it. Pastors must hold firmly to the gospel, and church leaders must receive God-given answers. That is where your challenge begins. Once God’s plan becomes clear, challenge boldly. This is the second secret you must never forget.

---

2) God’s Preparation

How do we challenge? There are many things we could say, but the most important challenge is this: challenge what God has already prepared. God has laid the foundation — we simply step into it.

(1) Acceptance / Transcendence / Answer (7 Bartizans) — Accept everything, transcend everything, and find the answer. Challenge until the answer comes. This is called the 7 bartizans. Wait for them, and you cannot fail.

(2) Acceptance / Transcendence / Response (7 Journeys) — First comes the answer, then comes the response. This is called the 7 journeys. We must enjoy what Christ has given us. Don’t worry about anything. Accept everything. Even those who try to harm you — accept them. They cannot succeed against you. Even when someone does wrong, God Himself will correct them.

(3) Acceptance / Transcendence / Solution (7 Guideposts) — After transcending everything, what’s next? Sharing the solution. This is called the 7 guideposts.

You must enjoy this blessing constantly. Today’s first session was about the starting point of our lives; this is the lifelong goal we pursue.

---

3) Spiritual Battle

Third, where must we challenge? In the arena of true spiritual battle.

(1) Satan Kneeling — When you truly enjoy prayer, the first thing that happens is this: Satan kneels before you. Even more important than Satan being bound is this — Satan bows before Christ, and therefore under your authority in Christ.

(2) Satan Bound — Once Satan has knelt, he must be bound.

(3) Satan Driven Out — And finally, Satan is driven into outer darkness.

This is the essence of spiritual battle. When this happens, tremendous works will arise without fail. Your faith and prayer are sufficient for victory.

Alright — I will continue translating the rest of this sermon completely from where we left off, starting from the Main Point through the Conclusion and Prayer, following your formatting, terminology, and numbering exactly.

---

Main Point

Now, let us move into the main point. The answer here is this: we must overcome the spirit of false prophets. But how can we overcome if we are not properly equipped? This isn’t simply about “false prophets” themselves, but rather the spirit of false prophets.

---

1. Why can we not avoid spiritual battle? (John 15:18-19)

1. Why it is unavoidable
2. Who the world truly is
3. Who you truly are
4. What it means to belong

the midst of so many circumstances, we must understand this truth: we cannot avoid spiritual battle. It is an unavoidable fight. In John 15:18-19, Jesus Himself explained it:

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated Me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. But because you do not belong to the world — because I have chosen you out of the world — that is why the world hates you.”

What does this mean? The “world” here represents the system controlled by Satan. So the meaning is this: “The world that belongs to Satan will hate you.”

And why? Because you belong to Christ. And if you belong to Christ, the enemy is Satan, who rules the world. The one who owns you determines who opposes you. Since you belong to God, and the world belongs to Satan, this is a battle you cannot escape.

That’s why Paul also said:

“Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, authorities, and powers of this dark world, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

---

2. Satan’s strategies and methods of attack

We must understand how Satan works and how he challenges believers.

1) 1 Peter 5:8-9

The Bible says, “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” He actively seeks believers to attack and destroy. But notice the verse just before that: “Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.”

This isn’t just saying, “Don’t worry.” It’s saying: “Completely surrender your concerns to God.” When you don’t, Satan uses your anxieties as an entry point to attack you.

2) 2 Corinthians 11:14

Satan disguises himself “as an angel of light.” He appears attractive, convincing, and even “holy,” deceiving countless believers and churches.

---

3. How we must equip ourselves (Ephesians 6:10-18)

▷For more detailed explanations, refer to the Field Gospel Message, p.126.

Paul clearly instructs us to equip ourselves for battle:

“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes.”

Our fight is not against people, flesh, or blood — our fight is against spiritual powers of darkness. And Paul lays out how to arm ourselves:

• Helmet of Salvation — This is absolute assurance of salvation. Without this, you cannot overcome. When hardships come, we proclaim: “The gospel is the answer.” When problems arise, we declare: “The gospel is the solution.”
• Breastplate of Righteousness — Cover yourself with the righteousness of Christ, not your own works.
• Shield of Faith — Deflect every fiery arrow of doubt and fear.
• Sword of the Word — Use the Word of God to cut through deception and lies.
• Belt of Truth — Secure everything with the unchanging foundation of the gospel.
• Shoes of the Gospel of Peace — Be ready to take the gospel wherever God leads you.
• Prayer at All Times — After putting on all the armor, we are commanded to “pray in the Spirit on all occasions.”

This is how we stand firm and fight. Without equipping ourselves this way, we cannot overcome the spirit of false prophets.

---

4. Paul used the Roman military as an illustration

Paul used the example of Roman soldiers to help us understand this spiritual battle. Think of how soldiers prepared:

1. Protective gear — to guard against attacks.
2. Defensive tools — to shield themselves when under assault.
3. Offensive weapons — to strike back when needed.
4. Guarding responsibilities — to hold their ground firmly.

Just as Roman soldiers never stepped onto the battlefield without being fully armed, believers must never enter daily life unequipped spiritually.

---

5. The attitude of those who engage the enemy

What posture must we take when entering battle? Scripture gives us two key passages:

1) 1 Corinthians 15:47-48 (and concluding verses 57-58)

At the end of this chapter, Paul declares: “Your labor in the Lord is never in vain.” In Christ, not one of your efforts is wasted. You will never lose your reward.

2) 1 John 5:4-5

This is God’s promise: “Everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.”

Victory belongs to those who hold to this covenant.

---

♠Conclusion:

Morning / Night (Strength) — Noon (Everything / What You See — 10 Platforms, 10 Secrets)

From now on, you must absolutely secure your morning and night time. These are the times when you restore spiritual rhythm and strength through prayer. Without them, you cannot stand.

Interestingly, even people deeply entrenched in idol worship have their own “quiet hours” where they meditate, pray, or draw spiritual strength. But here’s the difference: for us, this strength comes from God alone.

The true challenge happens during the day — in the field, at work, at school, in real life. That’s why you must turn everything you face into God’s blessing. This is the prayer of the evangelist:

“God, help me turn every person, every event, and every circumstance into Your blessing.”

This is exactly what Joseph did. Being sent to prison was not failure — it became the pathway to his greatest success.

Moses, when exiled in Midian, wasn’t hiding — God was preparing him to restore the covenant.

David, when being hunted, wasn’t defeated — it was God’s process of shaping him into the greatest king.

Elijah, though seemingly suffering under King Ahab, experienced the greatest victories — defeating Aram without even fighting.

Israel’s captivity in Babylon wasn’t the end — it became the starting point for saving the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes.

And in the era of the fiercest persecution, the early church received the greatest answers. The clearest example of this is Paul.

---

For you listening to today’s message, hold onto this: people without the gospel will say countless things. But you must respond like this: “God already knows everything.” That’s where the secret lies.

• The 10 Platforms — your unshakable foundations.
• The 10 Secrets — the hidden keys for your journey.

Holding onto these makes your steps the walk of the evangelist.

That’s why it doesn’t matter how few members your church has. If even one of you receives God’s answer, history begins in that church. Build just a few solid bartizans, and God’s work will surely begin.

From now on, enjoy this. When you worship, when you listen to the message, when you deliver the message — enjoy it to the fullest.

For me, during worship, especially when we sing hymns, I offer deep prayer between the lines. That’s when I pray my most important prayers. It’s such a precious time.

Enjoy these blessings every moment. This is your strength. This is your challenge.

Take this to heart. After a short 10-minute break, we’ll conclude with the final wrap-up.

November 30, 2024 – Remnant and TCK Evangelism Studies
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:13

---

Remnants, from now on, you must absolutely do it this way.

1. Finding Your Talent
How do you find your talent?

1) Books – The Word
First, don’t read too many books; you don’t have enough time. You need to read books that give you strength. Read books that strengthen you and then find your answers through the Word. If you try to find your answers through worldly things, you will end up losing one day. It must be through the gospel Word.

2) Great Figures – Christ
You should also study the lives of great figures who can give you strength. Since you don’t have much time, these days there are many good summaries available. You don’t need to read everything in detail, but study in a way that gives you strength. And then, find your answer in Christ.

3) Culture – The Three Feasts
You must also study culture and understand it well. In America, there are many cultural holidays, and you must know how to respond to them well. So, hold on to the three feasts — salvation, power, and background.

4) Worship – Prayer (7〮7〮7)
Next, you must clearly understand what worship and prayer really are. Through (7〮7〮7), you must enjoy prayer within the bartizan of the throne, the journey, and the guideposts. When you do this, your talent will begin to become visible. The very first thing you’ll see is “only.”

5) Only – Your Talent
This is your talent: “only.” You’ll realize, “Ah, God called me to do this.” Talents are given by God, but many can’t find them because they don’t pray. Instead, they decide based on what friends say, what parents tell them, or what they feel after going out to play. But when you pray, your talent will be revealed.

6) Uniqueness – Specialization
After that comes uniqueness, which leads to specialization. This is when you become an expert.

7) Re-Creation 300% – Globalization
From there, you’ll reach 300% re-creation, which leads to globalization. Remnants must absolutely go through this process. The reason we call this 300% is that you must find it before stepping into the field. Look at Bill Gates, who’s part of the Nephilim movement — he has spiritual power, doesn’t he? He’ll face difficulties later, but still, he discovered his “300%” while in college.

What if you graduate from college without finding this? Remnants cannot miss this. Before graduating from college, you must discover your 300%. You’ll hear more about this in the third message of this series.

---

2. Expertise – My 100%
Once you find these answers, expertise will naturally begin to develop. This is what God calls “My 100%.”

---

3. Field – Field 100%
Then, your spiritual eyes will open to see the field. This is called the “field 100%” that God has already prepared for you. This is part of your spiritual journey.

---

4. System – Continuation, Future 100%
Next, you must discover your system. This refers to both continuation and the future, and this is also 100%.

---

You must prepare for this properly. It doesn’t matter what school you went to or what your major is. You must absolutely build yourself in this way. When you do, you will surely succeed. People will start seeking you out; they’ll come calling for you, sometimes even persistently. You won’t need to go around promoting yourself — people will already know.

There is a remnant in Korea who listens to my messages carefully and puts them into practice exactly as I teach. This remnant wrote me a letter saying, “After hearing your sermon last week, I did these specific things.” One example: they wrote a letter to the owner of the largest hotel in Daegu, saying, “I will become a world-class chef in the future, so please hire me.”

The hotel owner replied, “I’ll hire you, but graduate from high school first.” The remnant said, “Understood.” Later, whether connected or not, he ended up training under one of the top master chefs in Japan.

In Japan, chefs are so highly respected that some even have private rooms where even the owner can’t enter. Normally, this chef wouldn’t take on personal apprentices, but for this remnant, he opened his doors, taught him personally, and even gave him books. It was so unusual that even other Japanese couldn’t understand why. He wrote me another letter saying, “Remnants must work ten times harder than others.” So he gave his all — even when told to take out the trash, he would run with the trash can.

The head chef in Japan noticed his attitude. Before returning to Korea, successful businesspeople were already approaching him, saying, “We’ll build the best restaurant in Seoul — you’ll be in charge.” We even visited that restaurant once, and at the entrance, there was a sign saying, “We do not accept walk-in guests.” That alone shows the restaurant’s standard — it’s reservation-only.

Recently, during Sunday lunch, this remnant brought food he had prepared. He greeted me, saying he’s moving to Hawaii. Of course, he’s going with a top entrepreneur who invited him. That makes sense — Hawaii is an international city, and new doors will open for him. People know and come to him now.

On the other hand, someone once quietly approached me, saying, “Pastor, I have a business idea that’s guaranteed to work, but I just don’t have the funds. If someone invests…” I thought to myself, “No, that’s not it.” Successful people already know who to invest in. When you prepare properly, they will come to you. Do your part until then.

---

[ Prayer ]
Since no one else will teach you these things, you must seek them through prayer.

---

Summit Time
Remnants must absolutely have Summit Time — because you will become summits, and in truth, you already are summits.

Summit Vessel
Prepare your summit vessel. There are many ways to do this, but the size of your preparation determines how much God can pour into you.

Summit Attitude
Adopt the summit attitude — because you will become a summit.

---

Hold on to these things. Don’t rely on people to teach you; instead, pray — God will reveal everything. For me, I honestly prayed only a little, but these thoughts came to me: “I must prepare in advance.”

The right time to prepare is before graduation. If you wait until after graduation, it will be too late. God knows the exact timetable for your life and begins to work precisely at the right moment. I was honestly shocked. I thought, “This can’t be happening through me.” But when I went out into the field, God’s works began unfolding: “How is this happening?”

I grew up in poverty, surrounded by weakness. I grew up watching churches struggling because they couldn’t evangelize. I grew up hearing, “We don’t have money.” But when I stepped into the field, I saw life springing up everywhere.

So don’t worry. God knows you perfectly. Just prepare.

Let us pray.

---

Prayer. Father, we thank You for giving us this timetable of blessings and precious opportunities. We pray that this upcoming Remnant Conference in the U.S. will become the gathering that pleases You the most.

Let this be the time when our remnants receive the important imprints, roots, and nature of the gospel. Make them remnants who revive the shaking churches, remnants who restore broken families and generations, and remnants through whom You save America.

We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

November 24, 2024: Immanuel Church – Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Philippians 4:10-20

---

Thank you. We now need to take hold of the practical things related to receiving answers.

While I was on my way to Bali, I watched a video — it was about meditation. Since those people practice meditation so much, they showed about 30 minutes of how they meditate in special places.

I also once watched a broadcast about meditation in Jeungsanism; it lasted about an hour and a half. It was boring, but I watched it all the way through.

In the three major organizations, they also practice meditation. And Muslims — even while walking down the street, they will spread out their mats and pray.

And everywhere, there are Freemason halls, and inside those places, they perform rituals involving spirits and Nephilim. When I saw all of that, I actually found it amusing, and I wasn’t afraid at all.

“The Current Address of the Evangelist”
(Philippians 4:13, John 15:7, 1 Corinthians 3:16, Philippians 2:13)

You must remember this. We do not go to such places to do those things. But many church members don’t know this well. Going to a special place to do something? That itself is wrong. Not only does it lack power, but it will also lead you into spiritual problems.

Right now, you are living in this reality: “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” This is an extremely important statement.

We go to the sanctuary because we receive great guidance from the Word there, following a greater flow. That’s why we go — but we can pray anywhere. Some people say, “Pastor, I went to school, but there’s no church there.” It’s okay even if there isn’t one. Start a local church there. If you worship alone, that place becomes a local church. When you help others, that becomes evangelism. Many people don’t really understand this.

“In Him who gives me strength” — this is our address. This is a tremendous address. Where do I live? I live “in Him who gives me strength.” If you don’t understand this part, your walk of faith will not go well. But once you understand it, you will enjoy the real power of prayer. Go and pray in Jesus’ name for someone completely possessed by demons — you will see a complete difference.

In John 15:7, Jesus says, “If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” Even more astonishing, 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?” In Philippians 2:13, it says that God works in you to will and to act according to His good purpose.

---

▣ Introduction – Christ and the Triune God

Now, what does “in Him who gives me strength” mean? It means “in Christ.”

Being “in Christ” means, as in Genesis 3:15, that the offspring of the woman crushed the serpent’s head. That’s where we are — in Him.

On the day the lamb’s blood was applied, we were set free. No one can understand this. But I live in that.

A virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and you shall call His name Immanuel. I am in that.

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said, “Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.”

In this Christ, the Triune God is invisibly with us through the Holy Spirit.

---

1. Problems, Conflicts, and Crises (Light vs. Darkness)

That’s why, when problems come, we don’t just pray because there are problems. No — you will surely face problems, conflicts, and crises, but you must enter them already carrying the answer. You must believe this. Because you carry the light of Christ, darkness will collapse wherever you go.

Many people don’t believe this and try to depend on other things — but there is nothing else. The Bible is not written just to help you live an “okay” life. Jesus did not die on the cross just to cure your cold. You can buy medicine at the pharmacy for that.

God called Christ so that those trapped in darkness could be called out into the light. That’s why Paul said, “I know how to be content with little, and I know how to live with plenty. I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” Whether in lack or abundance, it doesn’t matter. He learned the secret of contentment.

This is the faith you must carry with you.

---

2. The Bartizan, Journey, and Guidepost of the Throne (300%)

This is astonishing. The Triune God’s power works through the Spirit, and even just shining His light is enough to give thanks — but God went even further: He established the bartizan of the throne inside you, called you into its journey, and set the guideposts for you to follow.

Do you realize how amazing this is? On the day you build this reality through prayer, history begins to change. How does this happen?

---

3. 24 (Enjoyment)

It’s simple: live in 24. This is not meditation like the world practices. That level is nowhere near enough. Live in 24.

“I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” It doesn’t say, “I’ll come when you’re breathless” or “I’ll show up when you’re in trouble.” It says, “I am with you always.” That’s 24. This is completely different.

---

25 (Waiting)

As you enjoy this, one day, changes will start happening around you. That’s called 25 — the kingdom of God. This is waiting. From that moment on, wherever you go, the works of saving life begin.

---

Eternity (Challenge)

This is challenging for eternal works. Some people say, “I don’t know how to evangelize.” You don’t even have to worry about that.

There was an RT in Busan who had gone to America. He came to me saying he got a job, but the area was full of heavy drinking. He said, “So I took your message with me and decided to practice it.”

He started helping drunk coworkers — running errands, carrying them home when they couldn’t walk. He didn’t drink, but he served everyone faithfully. People were so shocked: “Wow, is this guy real?” They became grateful and started coming to him one by one for counseling.

Unbelievers are watching you closely. They look into your face and think: “Can I trust this person or not?” If they sense you’re a fake Christian, they’ll never open up to you. But they know when someone is genuine, even if they’re unbelievers.

Don’t worry about evangelism. God will surely establish His kingdom through you. That’s what you’ve received.

So then, my current address is this: I live in Him who gives me strength.

▣ Main Message

Why must it be this way? There are three things you must remember.

---

1. The Path of the Pilgrim

From now on, you must walk the difficult path of the pilgrim.

---

2. The Path of the Healer

You will also encounter many sick people, and because our own strength is weak, we must walk the path of the healer.

---

3. The Path of the Watchman

Although many people seem to be living well, they are trapped in darkness, so we must walk the path of the watchman, shining the light. That’s why it’s so important where you are positioned.

---

1. The Path of the [Pilgrim]

1) John 14:16
Jesus gave us this promise. In John 14:16, He said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever.” He clearly said this. Today, believe this and begin your prayer.

2) John 14:26
“When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, He will remind you of everything.” This is your current address. This is not mysticism — when you pray, the Holy Spirit makes you understand.

3) John 16:13
In John 16:13, it says, “The Spirit will guide you into all truth and show you what is to come.” That’s right.

4) Acts 13:1-4
In Acts 13:1-4, Paul went to the field and was completely led by the Holy Spirit.

5) Acts 16:6-10
When the doors closed, he didn’t despair or rush; instead, he received perfect guidance from the Spirit, being led to Macedonia.

6) Acts 19:1-7
In Acts 19:1-7, right from the beginning — even before the lecture hall of Tyrannus — the same power of the Upper Room of Mark’s house came upon them.

---

[ My 100% ]
This is what we call “my 100%.” You must believe this. Today, pray about this — especially the final, most important prayer. Because you are pilgrims on a journey, you are in Him who gives you strength.

---

2. The Path of the [Healer]

1) Mark 16:15-20
On your path, you will meet many sick people who must be healed. In Mark 16:15-20, Jesus said, “In My name, you will drive out demons and lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” He also said, “Even if you drink deadly poison, it will not harm you.”

2) Acts 1:8
In Acts 1:8, Jesus says, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

3) Acts 13:5-12
Holding onto this covenant, Paul entered a city covered in deep spiritual darkness — and he healed it completely. Pray and believe this during your worship.

4) Acts 16:16-18
I pray that this will be the time when all darkness in your homes collapses. Do not miss even one opportunity — write it down and pray. In Philippi, a whole city was enslaved by fortune-telling and evil spirits, but Paul healed the possessed girl who was suffering.

5) Acts 19:8-20
In the lecture hall of Tyrannus, even incurable diseases that doctors couldn’t heal were healed through God’s power. Paul declared, “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” Remember — Paul wrote this while in prison.

[ Field 100% ]
This is called “field 100%.” Never forget this. But there’s even more.

3. The Path of the [Watchman]

1) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
You are not only called to heal; you are also called to be watchmen who establish bartizans and shine the light. Paul strategically entered the synagogues to save influential figures.

2) Acts 19:21, 27:11, 27:24
In Acts 19:21, God directed Paul toward Rome. In Acts 27:24, during the storm, God said, “Paul, do not be afraid; you must stand trial before Caesar.”

3) Romans 15:23
In Romans 15:23, Paul says that the gospel must go all the way to Spain. Hold onto this covenant and pray accordingly today.

▣ Conclusion

[ Conqueror ]

You are conquerors — but not conquerors of people. You are called to conquer the darkness.

---

[ Authority ]

Use the prayer of authority. Especially during worship — even when you’re alone. It might sound strange, but when you pray by yourself, use the prayer of authority.

---

Acts 3:1-12
The first person who tried this was Peter. He said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” That wasn’t a polite suggestion — it was a command of authority: “Get up and walk.”

Do this prayer of authority this week in Jesus’ name. You may doubt at first, but one day, answers will come without fail. Use the authority of Jesus’ name to break the power of darkness in your homes.

---

Acts 8:4-8
In Samaria, when they prayed in Jesus Christ’s name, evil spirits left and diseases were healed.

Acts 16:16-18
In Philippi, Paul prayed deeply for three days and commanded, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I command you, spirit, come out!”

Philippians 3:21
In Philippians 3:21, it says: “In His name, all things are brought into submission.”

Next Sunday, we will worship in the U.S. as part of the worldwide worship service, and we’ll be focusing on the book of Colossians.

Why Colossians? Because people keep believing the wrong things. Paul, deeply frustrated, wrote Colossians to explain the truth more clearly. It speaks even more powerfully than Philippians.

John 14:14
In John 14:14, Jesus says: “You may ask Me for anything in My name, and I will do it.” You no longer need to sacrifice lambs. There’s no need to apply the blood of the Passover anymore. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, there is healing, deliverance, and power. You must understand this: the Old Testament has been completely fulfilled.

A missionary once shared his testimony. He was evangelizing in a very difficult region. The tribal chief’s son had received grace and began following him around everywhere. But one night, the boy suddenly collapsed. They rushed him to the hospital, and the doctors said there was no hope.

The missionary said that in that moment, a thought struck him: “This is Satan’s work. How could a young man receiving the gospel suddenly be struck down like this?” He felt a strong conviction rise up inside him.

At the hospital, he found the boy at the edge of death. Without shouting, he quietly prayed, “Satan holding this young man, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ — leave him now! In the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command you!”

The evil spirit left, and the boy recovered.

When I heard this testimony, I realized something: we cannot even imagine what happens inside unreached tribes among the 5,000 people groups. Many missionaries have said they’re too afraid to enter those places. That shows how far we still are from true missions.

---

Another testimony comes from Missionary Park in Panama. He said that when he first entered the area, he was terrified. The level of occult power there was beyond imagination — people could transfer “spiritual energy” to harm or even kill others.

Inside such regions, incredible spiritual battles are happening. Everyone is completely trapped in darkness. That’s why Christ came as the Light:

“To those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

---

This week, pray in the name of Jesus Christ so that all darkness, curses, unbelief, and the authority of Satan may be completely bound. If you truly believe, you must do this.

Our gospel is not a theory, not a religion, not just another book. It’s real. That’s why real works happen.

---

Go to the evangelism field, and you’ll see this clearly. But most church members don’t go, so they don’t know. Those who’ve experienced it firsthand are often shocked.

They’ve never seen how powerful the name of Jesus Christ really is. Through that name, may you receive the blessing of saving all generations. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

---

I’ll be going to the U.S. this week to participate in RCA, and I ask for your prayers.

---

Prayer. Father God, we thank You. Today, may the works of breaking the power of darkness happen in the name of Jesus Christ. Bind every force of unbelief around our families, our surroundings, and our church before the name of Jesus. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
