2024 Japan Evangelism Conference, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 62:6-12

---

♠Introduction
▶ “I am in the midst of hardship—what should I do?” There may be those who say this. Perhaps some of you would say, “I am struggling because my health is not good.” You must find the answer this time and take it with you. And our pastors and missionaries may be asking, “How can we quickly evangelize Japan?” I believe the answer to that will come out at this conference. And we have our remnants—what kind of remnants should they become?

▶ In fact, everyone asks these questions. Long ago I asked such questions myself. I had to bring revival in the field entrusted to me, didn’t I? But I had no strength. It is easy to talk about, but I did not have the strength to do it. One day I realized it was not only me—nearly all the church members were in difficulty. At that time I realized, “Ah, I and the members cannot receive answers.” Listening to most conversations, they were not of the kind that could receive answers. I was the same. Then it happened—God’s very important Word came to me as an answer. It is an answer anyone can have, but it struck my heart. “How should I pray?” Even in the past I did not really know. You may not know how to pray—back then I did not. I would set a time to pray, but it would not continue.

▶ So I held to one very important Word of God: God has set you as a watchman. Then I realized—if I am a watchman, isn’t that 24? Only then did I understand prayer. Do watchmen set a time for prayer? No. If the people are sleeping and the watchman is guarding, can he sleep? If I must sleep, I must appoint someone to take responsibility and stand in my place, and then sleep. If the enemy invades, the watchman must see and inform. If a fire breaks out in the village, the watchman must see and inform, must he not? From this I received a tremendous answer: God has set you as a watchman. At that word I said, “Oh!” and I came to understand all prayer. Truly. Until then I did not know prayer. To set a place and time to go pray—this did not last even three days. I could not even practice it for three days. “Let’s go pray in the mountains”—at most once or twice on occasion; it did not become a way of life. What kind of watchman is that?

▶ From then on, as soon as I opened my eyes in the morning, I began to pray—unconditionally. And during the day I saw that most people were struggling. They were not entirely wrong, but they could not receive answers. So I turned everything I heard and saw into prayer. And at night I could not help but preach. Others might not know this, but after everything I would go off alone—unable to sleep—and prepare the sermon. Therefore at night I could not help but pray. But that was not it either. It is not that I had to pray and prepare just to preach the next day; rather, at night I came to have prayer time in which I could receive all the answers. Simply doing this, I was astonished—I began to see the Word written in Scripture being fulfilled. I am not saying I did something well or something great; I came to see God’s Word being fulfilled.

▶ Thus the theme this time is “The Watchmen Who Will Save the World—Japan.” This is the theme. Why? Because as I see it, if a person understands what “watchman” means, Japan is the country that has the best conditions to do world evangelization. I have not visited all 237 nations, but I have been to nearly all. Japan has the best conditions to do world evangelization. Do not be discouraged—“God has set me as a watchman!” When you open your eyes, pray; before you close your eyes, pray. There are many hardships—turn them all into prayer. People speak according to their own thoughts—turn it all into prayer. Just doing this, amazing things happen. Doing only this, I began to see what is important.

▶ What did I come to see? I realized that a watchman must know what it means to “keep watch 24 hours.” Right? If you are a watchman, what are you to watch? I came to know this. Then I saw what is important in the Bible.

① Satan (the 12 strategies) — Satan, even now without sleep, is attacking you with twelve strategies.

② Isaiah 62:6–12, Acts 1:1–8, Acts 19:8, 1 Corinthians 3:16 — Therefore there is a promise God has given to the Lord’s servants who are watchmen. In Isaiah 62:6–12 He says, “I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem,” and, “Give Him no rest day or night.” As God gave this Word, I realized—yes. If even one of you today stands as a watchman of prayer, what did Jesus do? He raised tremendous watchmen, and for forty days He explained the kingdom of God—the power of the throne.

Paul understood this. This is a watchman. Ah, I have been the wrong kind of watchman until now. Jesus explained for forty days the power of the throne so that we could overcome the forces of darkness—right? If you hold to this covenant now, the darkness will be broken in the places related to you. So let none of you be discouraged; instead, make the secret bartizan stand within you—by prayer. We cannot do it. That is why Paul also said, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you?” Simply put, watchmen are those who keep the bartizan, and (as I will say tomorrow) the secret bartizan must be set up inside me. Do not be discouraged for any reason—start. I have seen living witnesses. They were not highly educated, did not have money, had nothing—yet my mother stood as a watchman of prayer. I saw it. “Ah, this is a watchman of prayer.” How much did the works arise? There is no need to say—those who know, know.

▶Introduction – Witness
At that time, evidence began to appear.

1. Genesis 37:11
   ▶ Jacob. One day Joseph was gone. But Scripture says, “His father kept the saying in mind”—regarding the Word of God spoken to Joseph. Over the disappeared Joseph, Jacob became a watchman of prayer. Right? Joseph was sold as a slave. Yet he became a watchman of prayer. What happened afterward was beyond imagination.
   ▶ I saw the testimony of this Word. Therefore, never be discouraged. Do not build this bartizan (Satan’s 12 strategies); build this bartizan (Isaiah 62:6–12; Acts 1:1–8; Acts 19:8; 1 Corinthians 3:16). Before setting up a bartizan outwardly, first build the secret bartizan inside you. No one will be able to overcome you. What will not overcome you? The power of darkness will not overcome you—Jesus said so. “The gates of Hades shall not prevail against you,” because as I realized this, I understood that setting up God’s secret bartizan inside me is the beginning of everything. I had many hardships and many injustices, but it does not matter—I am here (in this covenant). Start from today! When will the answer come? Do not concern yourself with that. When will it come? Keep going until it does. Joseph did so.
2. Exodus 2:1–10
   ▶ Look at Scripture. All the sons were about to be killed. Moses’ mother—simply put—set up the bartizan of a watchman. You understand? Absolutely unbelievable things happened. What happened? This is that bartizan. People hear it lightly when it is spoken, but Jesus said, “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth”—and it happened, didn’t it? If watchmen holding this covenant arise in Japan, the greatest door for world evangelization will open.
3. 1 Samuel 1:9–11
   ▶ Another watchman—a woman—arose. Who? Hannah. Hannah became a watchman of prayer. What happened? It was beyond imagination. With that level of power, you will evangelize Japan and evangelize the world. Believe this. Very simply, set up the bartizan by prayer inside you.
4. 1 Samuel 17:18
   ▶ Look—Jesse, the father of David. Jesse was a watchman of prayer for David. “Go to the battlefield and be sure to bring back evidence.” When he sent him on that errand, works arose from there.
5. 2 Kings 2:9–11
   ▶ Look closely at Scripture—Elisha in 2 Kings 2. Others had no interest, but Elisha alone became a watchman of prayer. Through Elisha, the movement at Dothan arose. Do not lose hold of this. “From today I will set up the secret bartizan of the watchman!” No one knows—so no one can steal it. Many pastors do not believe, so when you pray, works are bound to arise. Many ask, “Pastor, how did you do world evangelization?” I do not know. I simply prayed, and God’s Word worked; God worked, and now world remnants are arising.
6. Daniel 1:8–9
   ▶ One day Daniel resolved in his heart. “I will be a watchman who saves this nation.” He understood what Isaiah had said. This was built—so the bartizan of Satan collapsed and this bartizan arose—the secret bartizan was formed within me. You know what happened. Jesus explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days and said, “You will be my witnesses.”

▶Main Point – Then what kind of watchman should we become? How should we begin the blessings as watchmen?

1. The reason for the watchman – “A watchman who saves”
▶ First. What is the reason He called you as a watchman? Why does God call me a watchman—me, who has no strength? Why did God tell me to become a watchman? Why has He prepared this blessing and called me a watchman? You must surely take this with you. What is the reason? He has called you as a watchman who saves.

1) Church members – the Jews (Matthew 12:26–30)
▶ First, church members are perishing. Go and talk much in the church—faith hardly grows, does it? Listen to what church members talk about when they gather—faith does not arise. You must save them. Let me give an example, the evidence: the Jews could not avoid disaster. Right? If you do not understand this, Jesus said it—“Satan has made a house within you,” Jesus said.

2) Those who hinder the gospel (2 Corinthians 10:4–5)
▶ There are so many who even hinder the gospel. Save them. In fact, Peter’s team—one must be careful with those who have just believed. Peter’s team did not evangelize Rome—they hindered the gospel. If an elder becomes a watchman of prayer, he becomes an elder who saves the church; if he does not become a watchman, he becomes a hindrance. What does that mean? He himself does not know. According to 2 Corinthians 10:4–5, Satan has set up strongholds. Right? Remnants, do not hesitate in the slightest. Church members are not receiving answers to prayer. Religious people are becoming more and more troubled.

3) Rome (John 16:11–14)
▶ Rome is not receiving blessing. This is certain. Remnants must take this and go to school, go to study abroad, and learn. In John 16 it says they will be held within the kingdom of Satan—surely. You must know the reason He called you as a watchman: the Jews are destined to disaster—we must block it. Right? The church of the Mark’s Upper Room—crisis has come. We must block it—we must block disaster. Rome—there is nothing to stop it from causing wars; people are being killed every day. We must save them. You must surely remember this.

2. The blessing of the watchman – “Gospel watchman”
▶ These are the blessings you will receive when you become a watchman. You must know this. Therefore He called you as a gospel watchman—not only a watchman who saves, but a gospel watchman…

1) Calvary (John 19:30)
▶ First, at Calvary everything of yours was finished. You must believe this. The moment you truly believe, the darkness is broken. He has called you as this watchman. I will speak more tomorrow.

2) Mt Olive
▶ At Mt Olive He gave you the bartizan/journey/guideposts by which you can receive answers. Right? Others cannot steal this from you. The bartizan/journey/guideposts of the throne—I believe this. I would become the right kind of watchman, but in the past I did not know what kind of watchman to become. Jesus spoke—He explained concerning the kingdom of God for forty days. That is Mt Olive: the power of the throne, the journey, the guideposts…

3) The Mark’s Upper Room
▶ And then what? One day, in the Mark’s Upper Room, you experience the power. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you”—it is simple. Become a watchman unconditionally.
▶ Remnants who think, “Because of my parents our home is too difficult”—change it all and go. If you do not change it, it will never work. Looking at that, I said, “God has called me as a witness.” In the past our home and church were very diseased, poor, and powerless. From then on I prayed—witness. I have never been sick even once—witness; it is a miracle, is it not? I have no pains—witness. I have never suffered because of money—witness, truly. I have never suffered because the church did not grow—wherever I went, works arose. Absolutely not my strength—the watchman. Believe this. All right? “Alas, I married the wrong husband”—change that thought. There is no hope in the husband—you must think, “I must save him.” Then answers come. “I married the wrong wife”—change that thought. “I must save my wife”—witness. Remember this firmly.
▶ If the gospel movement arises in Japan—(I will speak about this tomorrow)—when a bartizan is set up in Japan, world evangelization will truly arise easily. Among all the countries I have traveled to, there is no country as convenient as this. I did not even learn Japanese—I do not need to learn. I can just go and communicate with gestures—it all works. If there is a supermarket, everything is there. And it is unbelievably convenient. So much consideration has been built into everything. This is indeed a nation that can do world evangelization. Remnants who will do world evangelization should come to Japan and learn many things. Recently in America I scolded them a bit—America is the least considerate place in the world; America must realize this. I am not praising Japan; I am stating facts. Therefore, when Japanese remnants arise, they will greatly help world evangelization. As I said earlier, many remnants came to Korea for training—most collapsed and left. The ones who have remained are the Japanese remnants. Isn’t it amazing? Korean is very difficult, yet they learn it quickly. Therefore whenever I come to Japan, I am very thankful to God, and I am thankful for missionaries like these—missionaries who preach only the gospel. For you, now is the beginning. The three years of Jesus’ public ministry? That is not the starting point—the starting point is from when He spoke on Mt Olive.

3. The answers of the watchman – “Happy watchman”
▶ You are not just any watchman—there is an answer that comes first to a watchman.

1) Summit
▶ First—God has set you as a summit. Joseph did not seek employment—he became the prime minister. He was even taken as a captive, yet became prime minister. David was a shepherd, yet became king.

2) Healing
▶ Why? Because as a watchman you must heal many—you must bring healing. If only this is formed, healing takes place.

3) Special bartizan
▶ And set up special bartizans throughout all Japan. What is a special bartizan? It is this bartizan. This is what Jesus spoke. God has called you as watchmen.
▶ Therefore, for watchmen in this conference—what do you need? What must a watchman build? That will be in Lecture 2 tomorrow. How will you do world evangelization? That will be in the final Lecture 3. Today, make a very important resolution: God has called me as a watchman. I am not envious of great powers—for fearful disasters will come upon them. We must go and help them. For forty years of evangelism I hardly had casual conversations with church members—because there is so much talk that cannot receive answers. Hold to the covenant—so that people may come to life through you—so that you become truly happy watchmen. Let this be the first lecture you firmly hold today.
▶ Even if answers do not come quickly, do not be discouraged. When I held firmly to this covenant, things did not start immediately from that moment. As time passed, I came to know the secret of prayer. In the morning, as soon as I rise, I move—because I am busy. When I open my eyes, there is much to prepare, so I must move unconditionally. While I keep comfortable breathing that restores my health, I keep praying—I have no time, I must prepare quickly and go. From then on, appointments and meetings begin—I turn everything into prayer. As I go, I focus my prayer on the seven bartizans/journey/guideposts. At night I must receive grace in the message I must deliver to you tomorrow—and I must obtain answers. What is Lecture 1 today? I must not talk about myself. It is the blessing of the watchman whom God raised in the most difficult time—for Japanese disciples; it is the mission of the watchman which Jesus Himself spoke—to Japanese disciples. Not all understood—only Paul understood. This secret—for Japanese disciples. It is certain. I have not come to teach you—I have come as a witness. Those who know me know—I was in complete ruin, and He set me as a witness.

♠Conclusion
▶ Therefore start from now.

1. 3 Concentrations (engraving)
   ▶ Begin the 3 Concentrations. Simply put, begin the prayer of the watchman. Then this will continually be engraved. Then it will take root. Later, without realizing it, it becomes your nature. This is called the 3 settings, the 3 answers—they follow.
2. The throne (7/7/7), the kingdom, the work (darkness)
   ▶ Then remember now—three things happen every time you pray. Every time you pray, the seven unseen bartizans are formed. Right? Every time you pray, it begins to come upon the journey you must take—to your studies, your job, your work—works arise. Guideposts. Therefore the most important power of the throne at this time—this is 7/7/7. At that time two things occur: upon the place you must go—even before you go—God’s kingdom comes. Jesus explained this—the works of the kingdom take place. What are these works? God breaks the darkness and sends the armies of heaven. It is happening now.
3. Witness
   ▶ Do not worry—one day God will set you in that place—the place of the witness. You, as witnesses, will save your families. You, as witnesses, will save your schools. In your workplaces you will save your workplaces. How will you save them? If you stand as watchmen, those with spiritual problems are bound to be healed. From now—from this evening—start. As watchmen—“Give Him no rest”—He explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days—Paul boldly testified to this secret for three months in the school of Tyrannus—then the next answers followed: “Paul, do not be afraid; you must stand before Caesar…”
   ▶ I bless those gathered here, and Japan, that this will be the best conference—in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.

Prayer. May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the infinite love of God, and the present working of the Holy Spirit be with all the disciples who will stand as watchmen, from now to eternity, always. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

So then, how do we begin accurately? That is the question, isn’t it? This is not easy. The problem is, the question most people ask is, “What should I do?”

▣ Introduction

1. What
   This is the question asked most often.
2. How
   Then naturally the question arises, “How should I do it?” This is not bad if asked with the right meaning, in prayer, but sometimes it is asked because one has not yet found the answer—“What should I do? How should I do it?”
3. When
   And then, “When should I do it?” The caution here is that often people ask this because they have not yet found the answer.

• Accuracy
  But once the answer has been found, asking these questions carries accuracy, doesn’t it? Isn’t this prayer? “What, how, when must I do it?” When we haven’t yet found the answer, these questions can feel frustrating, but when we keep asking them and then find the answer, they become very accurate.

▣ Main: Reality
Yet in front of us lies reality. This is the most accurate starting point. So if you are undergoing great suffering, in some sense it means you are a person destined to receive great blessing. If a great trial has come to me, it means something great is arriving. In the same way, reality is the most accurate starting point. What is this?

1. Slave
   Suddenly, you are dragged into slavery.
2. Prison
   As you know, suddenly into prison.
3. King
   And then finally, standing before the king.

The problem is that slavery and prison are difficult. Standing before the king is hallelujah, but slavery and prison are hard. For our remnants, on the way to stand before kings, there may be such slavery and prison. At those times there is surely confusion, hardship, and pain. In slavery and prison, many losses are experienced. Because of this, remnants must learn three things here.

[3 Concentrations]
Morning, noon, and night. Even with just this, it is hard.

[Deep prayer (2 Corinthians 12:1-10)]
So Paul entered into deep prayer. He went so deep that he said, “I do not know where I am. I do not know whether I am in the body or out of the body.” This means he went very deep. The sick must go so deep that they no longer even think of their sickness. This is necessary. Even a short time of this produces tremendous effect. Especially healing takes place, the brain comes alive, the body gains immunity, and life is revived. This is why immunity is so important. Life rises through deep prayer.

[Life-risking prayer (Acts 27:10-24)]
At other times, Paul prayed life-risking prayer. In Acts 27:10-24, what else could he do? He was facing death. Though the evangelization of Rome was certain, right now he was about to die. Yet Paul did not struggle outwardly. He went below deck and began life-risking prayer. So our remnants must learn these prayers—3 concentrations, deep prayer, and life-risking prayer.

3 concentrations can be as little as a remnant praying a short time in the morning, then again a short time at night. Then the day in between is affected. Praying in the morning and in the night influences your studies during the day, your work during the day. This is 3 concentrations.

(24, 25, eternity)
When you keep doing this, it becomes 24. In fact, 3 concentrations is 24. So remnants should not try to force long hours of prayer, but even short morning and night prayers change the daytime. As for me, my situation is a little different. For me, it is unconditional 24. From the moment I open my eyes until I go to the pulpit. During the day I confirm blessings and answers. At night I must conclude, so I pray again. I do not mean you must do it exactly like me, but even a little will lead you into 25 and eternity.

Just as good health depends on unseen immunity, so also spiritually—when I already have strength beforehand, I can overcome everything and see differently. When you finally stand before kings, it is finished. The doors to world evangelization are opened. The king has already bowed the knee. This was Egypt. Egypt was the place that influenced 237 nations and 5000 tribes. And it was there God sent him. This is truly remarkable.

Sometimes things happen to you that are confusing, difficult, or painful. At those times, hold firmly to the strength of 3 concentrations, deep prayer, and life-risking prayer. Otherwise, you will suffer loss. But even if you suffer, when you look back later, works will have arisen. Sometimes problems come because of your mistakes. It does not matter—later, works will still arise. Sometimes problems come that have nothing to do with you. There is truly God’s plan in it.

Therefore, remnants, cultivate the unseen strength of the summit. This is important. Absolutely, what you are thinking now, your level, your spiritual state—later it will turn into an answer. This is why today’s overall message is important. You must hold to it, receive real answers, and see the works that save arise.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You for giving us the time to pray. In the remaining time today, let us enjoy the blessing of deep prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Genesis 14:17-24

You must remember the New Year’s message well for the entire year.
Because it is the answer you will receive. In the midst of darkness, He said, “Let there be light.” Let us restore the temple of light that has the three courtyards. Then the prayer of the remaining ones of 24, 25, and eternity will begin. In the course of your life you must surely restore the economy of light. This is the pilgrim’s prayer. And you must set up the guideposts of light. At that time true revival will arise. This is the prayer of creation.

Within this, today Abraham met Melchizedek. We should see this as the answer you will receive during the week. To those who have the gospel, God first promised five things.

▣ Introduction
He gave them to Abraham, saying, “Go to the land I will show you.”

1. The covenantal blessing
That means He first gave the blessing of the covenant. Therefore, for you, holding the covenant accurately is the most important thing in the life of faith.

2. The foundational blessing
“You shall be a source of blessing.” Only then can world missions be done. He promised this to you. He also spoke the reason you must be blessed: “Through you.”

3. The representative blessing
Only when you receive answers can others see the answers. Therefore, the representative blessing.

4. The monumental blessing
“Through your seed.” It is a monumental blessing. He promised like this: “No one will be able to stand against you. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse those who curse you.”

5. The irresistible blessing
No one can block it. It is an irresistible blessing.

This is the promise given to you. Why? Because God gave it to Abraham. Unchangingly, it is fulfilled in you as it is.

▣ Main
Now then, what did Abraham lose and then find? It already came up in the first service. There is something truly important that you must not lose here. God has a special plan the likes of which has never been before and will never be again for you. He has it. Many people are mistaken because they do not know this. They say many things like, “That person is such-and-such. Useless.” That is being deceived. Even if it seems very difficult, God has a plan for each one of you. And it is a plan the likes of which has never been before and will never be again. Some people do well as they go, and some people do it even though they do not do well; people are of many kinds. But clearly, as long as you live, it exists.

Because he did not know this, Abraham kept suffering in the first half of his life. He suffered, wondering, “Should I do this, should I do that?” He truly went another way. So many people keep making judgments about others. One who truly knows the gospel must not judge. There is a plan for that person. There is a special plan for every remnant. You must find it. Abraham could not find it and kept suffering, then he found it. Perhaps while God was doing His work He made a mistake and let you live on this earth? Right? He governs our lives completely—He calls us and He sends us. Right? Did He leave you on this earth due to a small miss? Is that correct? There is no such law. You must surely find it this year. I see that many pastors have already lost hold of this. “Things do not go well for me…” But God has a plan. You must find it.

There was such a pastor in America—Pastor Robert Schuller, about whom there were some odd rumors. His ministry would not work even if he died; nothing worked. And there was “Oral Roberts,” a pastor. He could not speak well, so when his parents named him they attached the word “Oral,” hoping he would speak better. But when this man prayed, words came out; otherwise, he could not speak well. He was a famous person in America for a time. Alone, he truly prayed: “God, what is the reason You called me?” And then this power came upon him. He held meetings across America, and it caused a stir. This really happened. When the meeting ended, canes were loaded—two truckloads. That means those who had come leaning on canes were healed. Wheelchairs—about three truckloads were taken away. This really happened. The entire region was stirred. As I see it, God had such a special plan for that person.

You must not lose hold of this, especially this year. God has a special, unprecedented plan for you. Until you discover this, do not give up. You simply have not seen it yet. The reason was explained in the first service today. Abraham finally found it, and we will see it now in the second service.

1. Genesis 13:18 “The prayer of the watchman”
First. In Genesis 13:18, he began to build an altar. What is this? The prayer of the watchman began. You only need to begin this prayer.

[Power of the throne]
The prayer of the watchman is not just any watchman’s prayer; it is prayer that enjoys the power of the throne. This is certain.

1) Bartizan of the throne
What is happening now, right now? While you are praying, the bartizan of the throne is being made.

2) Journey of the throne
The path you take becomes the journey of the throne.

3) Guideposts of the throne
You come to set up these guideposts of the throne in many places. From that day on, Abraham began to build an altar.

[Prayer done alone]
Simply put, it is prayer done alone. You must be able to pray alone to know prayer. If a remnant can pray alone, then wherever they are, it is okay. Whatever they face, it is okay. Believe this. This covenant does not change.

2. Genesis 14:17–24 “Worship prayer”
Second. This is today’s passage. We read verses 17 to 24. What is this? Simply put, it goes beyond the simple prayer of the watchman to the prayer you enjoy during worship.

1) 318 (RT)
While he was worshiping, he raised 318 trained men. What does this mean? It means that while you worshiped and prayed properly, remnants arose. Your children are changed into mighty warriors.

2) Spiritual victory that overcomes darkness
In this way, they defeated Sodom and Gomorrah. What does that mean? It means the spiritual battle that overcomes darkness results in victory. People do not know what worship is. Worship is like this. During worship, spiritual victory that overcomes darkness takes place. It also happens in personal prayer, but especially when worshiping together. Nearly 318 were praying. Thus they overcame Sodom. This is well-known content.

3) Tithe (economy of light)
Then as he was coming down, he met the high priest named Melchizedek, and this priest blessed Abraham. At that time Abraham gave Melchizedek a tithe. There would have been spoils of victory—he tithed that. This is called the three economies. It is the time when the economy of light that revives the church, the economy of light to do world missions, and the economy of light to raise the remnants is restored. It is so today when you pray. Do not ever be discouraged; the offerings you give are the economy of light. Wherever this offering is used, the economy of light appears. The missions you support are the economy of light. Right? When your remnants grow and move the world—this becomes the economy of light.

When two ideologies were fighting as now, it was already so during the Korean War (6.25). At that time, missionaries who had the gospel entered our country and prayed for Korea. It is truly amazing. They established schools. They established hospitals—not large hospitals, but it was urgent. There was nothing. Today is the Worship Committee’s dedication service, and you must surely restore personal prayer. He said they built an altar. Then, with the 318—though I do not know the exact place—prayer began: worship prayer. And it did not end there.

3. Genesis 22:1–22 “Prayer that saves the posterity”
In Genesis 22:1–22, this is not just prayer. It is prayer that is transmitted to the posterity. It is indeed prayer that saves the posterity, but more precisely, this prayer must be transmitted to the posterity.

Thus, as we study Genesis well, we see this flow of the Word. People hardly believe the flow of the Word. When I began in Busan I said, “In the afternoon I will lecture on the Book of Acts for my whole life. But in the first service I will survey the Word beginning with Genesis. When Genesis ends, we will go on to Exodus.” Before Genesis even ended—before it ended—our church was in an uproar. For a long time we could not receive permission to build the temple, so we prayed long and held to the Word: the three courtyards. If this is not realized, we knew it is not a church. Indeed, the Word is fulfilled precisely like this.

When you come on Sunday, you must truly come with a heart that waits for God’s highest grace. Thus David said, “Enter His courts with thanksgiving.” As though the king has called you to enter. Simply put, the king says, “I will appoint you to the office of Minister. Come in.” Then you enter the palace to meet the king. How would you feel? On Sundays, at least to that extent—“Enter His courts with thanksgiving.” Some may not be doing that. It will be a bit toilsome. The life of faith will be difficult. Why? Because you lost hold of something—something important. You are not truly enjoying this power. Thus you do not realize how important your worship is. From then on, you save the posterity. It is transmitted to the posterity.

1) Genesis 22:1 “To test him”
Genesis 22:1. God tested Abraham. “Abraham!” He said. “Offer your beloved only son Isaac as a burnt offering.” This—Scripture clearly says—“God tested Abraham.” What test? He is now sitting for the test in which God blesses. We almost always take it as though hardship is coming, but when the real thing of God is coming, it is often like this. Now Abraham is not like before. Formerly he would have made excuses: “That is not possible.” Formerly he might have said, “God, that cannot be. We had him at a hundred years old, it caused such a stir, how can we offer him? Absolutely not. Please take the old woman instead. Or else take me.” But he went in silence. It is said he believed that God would bring him back to life. Simply put, he confirmed why God told him to go there to worship. There surely is a reason, for you as well.

As he went, Abraham spoke to the servant: “Stay here. We will go and worship God and return.” He told the servant to wait. Why? Because Abraham thought that if he took the servant, the servant would stop him. As they went, the son asked, “Father, why is there no ram this time?” “God Himself has provided,” he answered.

2) Genesis 22:13
So as you know, a ram was provided in place of Isaac. This is not an ordinary story. There is a difference between being helped while walking along the road and being helped at the time of death, right? What is the difference? When you are helped at the time of death, you do not forget it. The ram was completely engraved. The gospel transmitted to the posterity. It is prayer transmitted to the posterity. It is this important. At decisive moments, teach your children the name of Christ, bless them, and speak. You already know this. The answers are all out.

3) Blessing
Then, after offering the ram in his place, God spoke thus. He blessed with three things.

(1) Stars
“Your descendants will be as numerous as the stars of the heavens and as the sand of the sea.” Like the many stars of heaven—He promised that.

(2) Gate
And, “You will possess the gate of your enemies.” That means victory.

(3) All peoples of the earth
And finally He said again, “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed.” It must align with this. In this way, prayer became a work in history.

There is another thing easy for us to mistake. When you pray, are there more answers that come now, or more that come later? Which are more? Because we are dull of mind, we realize almost all later. The answers that come later are greater.

▣ Conclusion
What answers came?

1. Isaac
1) One hundredfold
For world missions, God gave to the son named Isaac the blessing of a hundredfold. In one year He allowed the blessing of a hundred years. Thus world missions are done—through the son Isaac.

2) Source of springs
Abraham obtained many wells, but God made him obtain the very source of springs. Our remnants must open their eyes like this in the future. You must obtain the source of the economy of light. Just watch—who knows what will happen? As for your church building here, building the three courtyards, and doing it in Busan—we do not worry. Now God will begin to attach to us tremendous people of prayer. There is nothing to worry about.

3) Rehoboth
He promised the blessing of Rehoboth—to the son. And it did not end there.

2. Jacob → Israel
To the grandson Jacob, God blessed: “Your name…”—an immense blessing. “Do not call your name Jacob, but Israel.” From here came the twelve tribes of Israel. From here this famous name—Israel—came. This was Jacob’s new name.

3. Joseph – Egypt
In the posterity, world evangelization arose through Joseph. Amazing things took place. He saved Egypt and the world, and made him prime minister of Egypt. The whole world came to buy grain. The whole world bowed the knee to this Joseph. With confidence he delivered the covenant to them, and while earning money, he moved the world. Who would have imagined? They thought this son was dead, yet he had become prime minister. Jacob must have been shocked. Right? First the brothers were shocked when they found out. They had tried to kill him, then sold him, and he had become the prime minister who moves the world. The brothers were shocked—beyond shocked; people lost their senses and acted strangely. Then he said, “Do not be afraid, my brothers. It was not you who sold me. God sent me ahead.” To that extent they were shocked. Though unconfirmed, Potiphar’s wife probably fainted—she had put him in prison, and he became prime minister.

Light overcomes darkness. You are children of light. You set up the bartizan of light, you go on the journey of light, and you set up the guideposts of light. This is certain. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week will be a week in which you receive yet another great answer. Let us pray.

Prayer. Do not let us lose the flow of the covenant, and let us restore the true power of prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

05. Jan. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Genesis 13:14-18

---

▣ Introduction
Thank you. Today is the start of the answer of eternity. Already in the past as well, but now many people are in a situation where they cannot even offer worship. “Let us make a name for ourselves and build the tower of Babel.” Words no longer work. So that tower of Babel collapses completely, and God tells Abraham to leave from there.
So today, new believers must ask, “How can I live the life of faith properly?” We should ask this question, right? So let us draw the conclusion first now. For many of our church leaders, the question is, “How must I live the life of faith to have truly found the way?” I consider this the most important. What does it mean for our remnants to have truly found the way?

1. Gospel
Of course, we must first realize the gospel, but—

1) To be liberated from Satan’s 12 strategies
The gospel is to be liberated from Satan’s 12 strategies. It is tremendous.

2) That the Triune God is with you within you by the Holy Spirit
And the gospel is that the Triune God is, by the Holy Spirit, within you and with you now.

3) Because God is with me, I no longer need anything regarding “me.”
Therefore, in the gospel, nothing more regarding “me” is necessary. Because God, who is greater than I, is with me. But if one does not understand this statement, one has not understood the gospel.
“Why are you able to interpret dreams?” “Because the Lord is with me.” “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For the Lord is my shepherd.” “We can enter into the fire.” “We can enter into the lions’ den.” “It is okay even if I die.” This is the life of faith.

※ Because this is not established, the gospel is not enjoyed, and disasters come (Genesis 3, 6, 11—me, mine, ours)
Because this is not established, the gospel is not enjoyed, and disasters keep coming upon the whole world now. They know nothing but themselves. Satan uses that and says, “You will be like God. If it is mine, that is all.” In this way they become the Nephilim. “Let’s be strong among ourselves.” This is the tower of Babel.
This is how it collapsed. It is the same now. At this time all over the world, there are too many spiritual problems, and things do not work out. We must quickly testify to this urgent gospel. We must quickly shine the light.

2. How will I be used for world evangelization with my work? The more accurate and factual, the better.
Then today, you only need to hold onto one thing and go. I will talk about various things. How does one live the life of faith properly?

1) Abraham, for whom the covenant that “through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed” did not seem to fit
God spoke to Abraham: “Through your seed, the nations will be blessed. All the peoples of the earth will be blessed.” For Abraham, this was too difficult a word. It simply did not seem to fit. “But now You said, ‘Leave your country, your relatives, and your father’s household,’ and I left, and You say to save the nations? And ‘through your seed’—but I do not even have a child!” “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will obtain blessing.” It simply did not fit.
From now on, what must you ponder deeply? How will I be used for world evangelization with my work? The more accurate, the better. The more factual, the better. Then your life has found the way.

2) Abraham, who lost the way and suffered to the point of death
“How can I do something that difficult?” Now Abraham lost the way. He is suffering to the point of death. Wherever he goes, death approaches. To the point that they try to kill Abraham and take his wife. He even suffered that twice. Wherever he goes, crises approach. Later even his nephew causes problems. So today’s main passage is the content of separating from his nephew. The words, “Through you the nations will be blessed,” did not make any sense to Abraham.

3. The characteristics of the 7 remnants
Remnants, you must remember. The 7 remnants had one thing that was different from their fathers. There was exactly one thing different from the adults. What is it? For how to do world evangelization, they had a schedule. This is what is different. This is far easier.

1) Joseph
“The sun, the moon, and the stars bowed down to me.” That is world evangelization. The brothers said, “He’s crazy.” People who do not know say that: “He’s crazy.” It is not insanity. He knew the way of world evangelization. Every path Joseph took was an answer. You must hold to this. The more accurate, the better. Abraham failed to hold this. He just went because he was told to go. Then unbelief arose. “Where will I go to make a living? And frankly, if I die, at least someone should hold a funeral. I have no child.” So he enticed his nephew. “Hey, come here.” Like this. “Let’s go.” Though he was told to leave his relatives, he said, “Let’s go.” This becomes another problem.
With a single word today, you must understand: The whole way of my life must be seen.

2) Moses
Moses failed to find this for 80 years. He had heard from his mother, but he could not find this way. Because he could not find it, nothing worked. He found it at age 80. Right?

3) Samuel and David
Those who realized the covenant of world evangelization from childhood were Samuel and David. Right? You must find this way. It is not difficult at all. No matter how far, God is set to accomplish it. For most of you, that way likely does not exist now. Most of you are probably living like Abraham. Things do not go well. Nothing works out. You do not see the way. As I know it, most church members are like this—suffering raw hardship, suffering that should not be done. God will continue to answer, but I cannot find it. Because there is no way. I lost hold of it. If I only go on that way, just going quietly, answers come. Joseph went as a slave, and that was a blessing. He was falsely accused and went to prison, and that too was a blessing. He met the king, and that too was a blessing. He became prime minister, and that too was a blessing. Of course. Young David knew this too well. “You will build the temple. Carefully keep the ark of the covenant. Build a temple with a courtyard for world evangelization.” David had all the answers. He had it from his youth. These are the 7 remnants.

※ If you only know the way, the Lord will set up the bartizan, the journey, and the guideposts and make you go.
We Christians have almost all lost hold of this. It is not even that we are commanded to do it—if you only know the way. On the way you go, the Lord will set up the bartizan, the journey, and the guideposts and make you go. Today you must surely realize this.

※ Find the schedule in your life for going on God’s way.
Since we fail to realize it, the Nephilim now realize it. Bill Gates already left university. “I will do this and move the whole world.” The late Steve Jobs said, “We can put the whole world in this mobile phone. I will devote to the world.” Is that insanity? It turned out that way, didn’t it?
What did Jim Rogers, who came to Korea, say? “I will retire at 46. After retiring at 46, I will travel the world and serve.” Indeed. It happened that way. He retired at 46. He is traveling the whole world now. He is smart. He even took on a North Korean defector as his secretary. Why? Because he intends to invest in North Korea. It is tremendous. An unbeliever is doing this.
So Abraham was not becoming it. By God’s grace, it was truly realized. Friends, saying “I can do what is impossible” is nonsense, right? Saying “I can do what is impossible.” And saying “I cannot do what is possible” also does not make sense, right? Yet this is how we are living the life of faith. We say we will do what we cannot do, and we do not do what we can do. Find the schedule in my lifetime for going on God’s way. Just watch and see whether it works or not.
There is a person I truly liked and respected, about ten years older than I. I found that there was so much I could learn from him. He was truly diligent. He graduated from Seoul National University, served as a judge, and worked as a lawyer. Sadly, he passed away at age 70, but I found that he lacked exactly one thing. He was truly smart, but he did not have it. What was it? He had no schedule of evangelism and missions for the future in his life. I intended to tell him, but I could not. If a person like that had it, he would have become tremendous.

▣ Main
By now you have probably caught it—what this means. “But how can we do something that difficult?”

1. The timetable to change what one possesses
First. For Abraham, it became the timetable to change what he possessed.

1) Genesis 13:14–18
“It was after Lot separated from Abram.” This means after Abraham laid down all unbelief. It means after he laid down all the scheming. From that time he began to build an altar. This is important. He began to build an altar holding to the covenant, and what did God say? “Now arise and walk through the land to the north and south, east and west. Look to the north, south, east, and west. Travel through its length and breadth. I will give it to you forever.” It was finished now. Abraham ended unbelief. He saw the way. Then even when it came to yielding, he yielded everything to his nephew. “You choose first.”

2) Genesis 14:14–24
A war broke out and Lot was about to die, his nephew. He took 318 trained men and went. He returned in victory. Besides the spoils, the king of Sodom gave Abraham a large sum of money. Abraham said he could not receive it. “Later you will say that I became rich because of you, will you not? I cannot receive it.” On his return he gave a tithe of the spoils to Melchizedek.

3) Genesis 15:1–6
In chapter 15, God spoke thus: “I am your shield; I am your very great reward.” Who can say anything? “I am your shield and your reward.” It had become time to change things. The timetable is important.

2. The timetable to find what is genuine
Second. For Abraham, it now became the timetable to find what is genuine.

1) Genesis 17:1–8
In chapter 17 it says this. There is a word we must surely learn: “Do not call your name Abram, but Abraham.” To say it again: “You are the father of many nations. You are the father of world evangelization. You must see that schedule. By any means I will do it, so you must see that way.” And what then? Abraham believed that.

2) Genesis 18:1–19
In chapter 18 he entertained guests, and later he realized he had entertained angels. What came forth then? “Around this time next year, you will bear a son.” That son is Isaac. It was promised. This is Abraham beginning properly to find God’s covenant.

3) Genesis 22:1–18
Not only that. The child was growing well, and the Scripture says: “To test Abraham, God said, ‘Take your son, your only son whom you love, and go to Mount Moriah and offer him there.’” Ah, what is this? Abraham had so many possible excuses. But what should he do?
He took his son and went. As they went up the mountain, the son asked, “Father, every year when we offer sacrifice we take a ram; why is there no ram?” He asked this. At that time Abraham could have said one word, right? “Perhaps God’s taste has changed; He says to offer you.” It would not have been a lie. But then the son would be shocked and think, “Father has become strange. My father has gone strange,” and run away. What did he answer at that time? “God Himself will provide.” He did not say anything else.

The Bible says God was testing him. When he truly tried to offer his son, what did God say? At that time God prepared a ram. He planted the gospel that cannot ever be forgotten. He engraved the gospel into Isaac forever—the ram. He engraved the gospel that Abraham can never forget. Without Christ, we cannot block disasters on this earth. We cannot block those spiritual problems. We cannot block those fights. Those battles in darkness cannot be blocked except by the light. “A ram in place of your son.” This is the gospel.

At that time several words were spoken. Did not God give several important promises to Abraham then? “Through your seed all the peoples of the earth will be blessed. You will possess the gate of your enemies. I will multiply your seed.” He promised. The most important—“You will possess the gate of your enemies.” He found it exactly. He found the way of world evangelization.

3. The timetable to establish the way of world evangelization (Genesis 26:12–25)
Third. The timetable came out to establish the way of world evangelization.

1) Source of springs
In that timetable, Abraham dug wells in various places. He was rich. It is the way of world missions. He dug wells in various places. The enemies came and, out of jealousy, stopped up all those wells of Isaac. Right? What did God do? He made Isaac obtain the source of springs.

2) The blessing of one hundredfold in one year
He farmed, and a hundredfold came out. He blessed him with the blessing of one hundredfold in one year. Why? Because he had to do world evangelization. Remnants earn in one year what would normally take one hundred years. Why? Because they must do world evangelization.

3) Rehoboth
The enemy came and kept blocking, but God gave a larger land—the blessing of Rehoboth. You must hold to this covenant.

4) The covenant fulfilled in Joseph
In the end, this covenant is fulfilled in the grandson. Who is it? Joseph. It begins to be fulfilled amazingly. It is used in the work of breaking the darkness, timed exactly with the age of Egypt.

▣ Conclusion
Today, it is enough even if you only think.

1. When I was in charge of Sunday School
When I was in charge of Sunday School, I thought, “How can I preach the gospel to these children and evangelize them?” A burning heart arose. But the children could not listen to the Word. So I realized, “Ah, I must meet the sixth graders separately. They will soon go to middle school; if they go then, it will be the end—what should I do?” Then what I realized was the House of Peace. I realized the tremendous thing in the Bible. So at the homes of church members who had larger spaces, I gathered the children and had House of Peace meetings. I did that in seven places, and more than a thousand children flocked in. It is not difficult. How will I evangelize throughout my life? You must have the way firmly. Even moment by moment, you need that answer.

2. When I was in the military
Did I not say it before? The most difficult time for me was when I suddenly went to a unit where I had to undergo training for a full year. A year. I felt like dying. I trained for a whole year—all day long. At that time I thought: we trained 50 minutes and rested 10 minutes, trained 50 minutes and rested 10 minutes, and at each 10-minute break I thought, “There must be a prepared disciple in here. I will find that disciple.” How to find him? I do not know. I only need to realize it. There must surely be a disciple here. Right? The reason God sent me here is that there must surely be a disciple. Of all times, why send me to such a difficult place where we only receive training? No need to say more. From that time God worked—the commanding officer accepted Christ. Not to mention others—the commanding officer accepted. Later, every Wednesday I preached a message to all the soldiers gathered together. It is a remarkable thing. I am telling you to hold to the covenant.

3. When I began in Yeongdo
When I went to Yeongdo in Busan and quietly began, there was nothing—what should I do? I could not even dream of such a fine church. There was no church building at all. I prayed to God. “It does not matter. I will spread the movement of the Word throughout all of Yeongdo.” I spread it. Thousands of disciples arose.

4. Regarding building the temple
God did not permit the temple. Why do we need a temple? Now go see Busan. Just looking at it now makes you dizzy. I realized late—the three courtyards. The moment I held to that covenant, God began to give every answer.

5. The current timetable
Now our church is in earnest training the 5,000 tribes. We bring them and train them. Then we send them out to evangelize. We must send them to block that darkness. They are falling into disaster and dying. We must save them. There is no way.
Now look at the situation of our nation. There is no way. That is a spiritual problem. They are caught in spiritual problems and absolutely cannot listen to others. It is not that they will not listen; they cannot listen. Even if they are ruined, only after receiving disaster and being ruined will they listen. Even ruined, they cannot listen. Before that, we must shine the light.
Today you must firmly hold to this covenant. There is no need to be hasty. The more accurate, the better. If you set the schedule accurately, remnants must surely hold it. If you do this, you will see that answers are prepared in every place you go. It is true.
Someone sent me a text: “Pastor, please do not boast so much.” “Understood. Thank you.” I try not to as much as possible, but I cannot help it. This is not boasting. Right?

※ Everyone is trapped in darkness and spiritual problems and cannot listen. There is no way to solve the darkness. The light is needed. We must first remove the darkness.
All are trapped in darkness and cannot hear. Trapped in spiritual problems, they cannot listen. This battle is now arising across the nation and the world. It is arising throughout the whole country. Will North Korea listen to us? Without the light shining, there is no way to solve that darkness. Will Russia listen to us then? If we say, “Do not wage war,” will they not wage it? The whole world is in turmoil. The light is needed. Therefore we must first remove the darkness.
Begin the important start of this year truly and properly. You will see what God does. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing will overflow. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us find our way. Let us see the way of world evangelization. Though it is absolutely impossible, by God’s creative power let the light shine. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

[Scattered Disciples] The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC to Save the 237 Nations and the 5000 Tribes (1) 「 The Watchman Who Circuits 」 (Ac 9:15)

---

You must begin well. If the start is wrong, you will continue to go wrong. This is the start toward eternity. Most people begin wrongly and suffer for a long time, even their whole lives. That is why the fact that you are gathered here on Saturday with remnants like this is something rare in the world. Even if someone tries to sustain it, it cannot continue. But because you hold the covenant, this will continue until many remnants arise in the future.

▣ Introduction
Now, even if you know everything, if you do not know these three things well, your start will be wrong.

1. Gospel – Light
If you do not know what the gospel really is, everything goes wrong. But to understand the gospel is not an easy thing. Because if only the gospel is understood, then everything else will be understood.

1) Satan (darkness) – Liberation
What does it mean to understand the gospel? From beginning to end, Satan seeks to destroy you, and the Bible calls this darkness. You have been liberated from this. Colossians 1:13 says this. Because we can never overcome this, God sent Christ to deliver us.

2) Trinity (1 Corinthians 3:16)
But it is not just that. For us who are saved, the Triune God dwells in us with His Spirit. Because the Holy Spirit works within us, we are different from unbelievers. If our remnants understand the gospel, they can save the world. And it does not end here.

3) Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17 [ I ]
What comes out when you understand the gospel? It means Christ dwells in me. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says we will be a new creation. Most people lose hold of the gospel here. Almost all lose it because of what is called “I.” Now, what should our remnants never worry about for their whole lives from this point on? “How should I live in the future?” “How should I study?” You do not need to worry about that. That is all being deceived.
God leads remnants 100% for eternity. You must believe this. To understand this is what it means to understand the gospel.

That is why many people shake when difficulties come. Why? Because this (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17) is not established. Even pastors shake when problems arise because they do not understand this. That is why it is somewhat difficult to understand the gospel. Most people lose it at point 3 (Galatians 2:20, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Clearly, God has broken the authority of darkness and is with us through the Holy Spirit, but we do not realize it.

That is why the 7 remnants said when hardships came, “It is okay because the Lord is with me.” That is the one who is saved. Remnants must remember this. Here, darkness is completely broken. They said, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” This is the gospel.

So if you know the gospel, all darkness is broken. That is darkness. The forces of darkness are destroyed. You must remember this. What does it mean that you understood the gospel? It means you came out of this. Then you are different from others. The Holy Spirit works in us. This is certain. Then what does it mean? In all of your life, in all of the life of remnants, God is working. This is the gospel.

But because they do not know this, they keep shaking according to their situation. Many say, “I used to go to church before.” If the gospel is not realized, the church is the same as any other religion. The gospel is different.

Whenever I meet a Buddhist monk, I clearly say, “You cannot be saved. And your spiritual problems cannot be solved.” It absolutely cannot be solved. They know it themselves. From the time they shaved their heads, spiritual problems already came. It cannot be solved. Why would a normal person shave their head and sit in the mountain? From the start it is already wrong. So I say to the monk, “Why do you cut your natural hair and suffer like that? No matter how much you cultivate, it will not work. The more you try, the harder it will become.” Because they are caught here (Satan).

That is why we must come out of this. Invisibly, the Holy Spirit works within us. Then in all of life, God is with us. This is the gospel.

2. Prayer
You must understand what prayer is.

1) Bartizan of the throne
Prayer is God being with us and letting us enjoy the bartizan of the throne. This is prayer.

2) Journey of the throne
And on the way, prayer lets us enjoy the journey of the throne. Is it not amazing?

3) Guidepost of the throne
And prayer sets up guideposts of the throne everywhere. This is prayer. That is why Jesus explained this for 40 days. For 40 days He spoke about the things concerning the kingdom of God. This is prayer. Only this is prayer. Jesus told us to do only this: “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”

If you are inside the bartizan of the throne of the Triune God, and if you set up guideposts on the journey, it cannot fail. Among the greatest answers is that guideposts are set up in many places.

3. Evangelism
What is evangelism? Just know these three things.

1) Me
God has given me 100%. It is about finding it.

2) The way
On the way you and the remnants go, there is the field. God has prepared it 100%.

3) Future
In your future and systems, God has prepared 100%.

300%
This is called 300%. All studies must be done like this. All business must be done like this. All evangelism must be done like this. Then it becomes very easy.

When I see people evangelizing, I think, “Wow, amazing. How can they do it so hard like that?” I cannot do it. Before I go to evangelize anywhere, I receive sufficient answers about it. Then I check the way fully. And I confirm, “How will it proceed?” I confirm the system fully. Then I go. It is such a grace. I receive blessings when I go. I receive strength when I come back.

To go to a total stranger and knock on the door saying, “Believe in Jesus.” Of course they can believe. Right? But I cannot evangelize like that. I am too shy. It is hard to ring the bell of someone else’s house and enter. Door-to-door evangelism is not absent in the Bible, but that was to let them see the field at first. But the evangelism Jesus taught was not that. He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” That is right. You will see the evidence.

Now you must perfectly remember these three things. What is the gospel? “It’s going to church.” Can that person save the world? What is prayer? “It’s what you do when eating.” That is prayer, yes. What is evangelism? “It’s dragging friends to church.” Living like that is not easy at all.

All studies, all businesses, all jobs are included in this. They are all inside the gospel, prayer, and evangelism.

If you are a civil servant, or a schoolteacher, you must evangelize in a different way. As you get closer to children or colleagues in the workplace, they reveal their spiritual problems. At that time, you can say it accurately. That is the gospel. They cannot come out of this (Satan). And if they are saved, they have the right to enjoy this (prayer). And then they receive this (evangelism) answer.

▣ Main
Then the important main point becomes visible. What is seen?

1. Things to throw away – Things to change
You see what you must quickly throw away and what you must change.

2. Things to enjoy – Things to find
And you see what you must enjoy and what you must find. Then answers continue to come.

3. Things to overcome – Things to establish
You see what you must overcome and what you must establish. It becomes clear.

1. Things to throw away – Things to change
Bartizan of Satan × [Bartizan of the throne]
Then automatically the bartizan of Satan collapses. While you are praying, the bartizan of the throne arises within you. Then answers keep coming. If you only hold onto this covenant, your church will continue to experience works. You do not need to do any strange things. The church will just experience the movement of life. The remnants will naturally head toward the summit. You must not lose this. Because they cannot truly restore the gospel, they keep holding onto wrong things and suffer.

What is salvation? He promised to be with us with Immanuel. He promised to be with us always, to the very end of the age. It is to enjoy this.

So from now on, remnants truly do not need to worry about anything. Remnants from poor family backgrounds are laying down a firm foothold. It is okay. Some are good at studying, some are good at working. All are different. So God prepares 300% for you to do world evangelization.

2. Things to enjoy – Things to find
Prayer 300% → Economy of light
Now what should you enjoy? You must enjoy prayer 300%. And what should you find? You must find the 3 kinds of economy. You must absolutely find this. The church economy, the mission economy, the remnant economy are the economy of light. You must absolutely find this. It is prepared. It is prepared for the elders. So with prayer 300%, you find these three economies.

3. Things to overcome – Things to establish
[I] → Absolute bartizan
And what is it? Now the tower of Babel is destined to collapse, and the Nephilim are destined to collapse. You must overcome the “I.” Then what do you establish from that time? You establish the absolute bartizan. Do not try hard. It is the absolute bartizan. Being overactive and being lazy are the same. That is not us. We truly pray and establish the absolute bartizan. Just wait.

How precious are you? There is no such law that says you must suffer by doing anything randomly. When do we leave this earth? When God calls us. That is why you must not worry about anything and only enjoy this (introduction) blessing. Then it will be enough.

▣ Conclusion

[Tour]
Now you take this and go out into the world. You are the watchmen who tour.

1. Absolute plan
So what is God’s absolute plan? You only need to find that. Wherever you go, it is hidden. You only need to find this.

2. Absolute journey
Then naturally you go on the absolute journey.

3. Absolute bartizan
And when you leave, you set up the absolute bartizan before leaving. This is the watchmen of the scattered ones who tour.

Now then, why do we embrace many people? Because within them we find this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). Most people are shaken. Do not be discouraged. It is about finding this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). You will meet many people when you go. The ones we seek to meet are these (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan) people. That is why we embrace everyone. Do you understand? There is nothing to stumble over. What we are doing is this (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). It is not something optional, but it is God’s absolute plan.

When you go into the army, until the day you are discharged, God has hidden one disciple within this. You must find him. This is it (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan). Also, those who teach children in schools, among the children in that school there is a prepared disciple. You must find this. How do you find it? If you pray, it will be found. In this way (absolute plan, absolute journey, absolute bartizan) it clearly comes out. So because of that one person, you can think that many others are around. Sometimes when more than 10 North Korean defectors come, among them there is really 1 true disciple. The other 9 sometimes come to protect that 1. From God’s perspective. We do not know. That is why there is no reason to be discouraged, and no reason to be restless.

Now, today is the start. You must surely remember this. People keep starting wrong. They keep starting like unbelievers. But you are not unbelievers. You are people of the Holy Spirit, but you start as if the Holy Spirit has nothing to do with you. Absolutely not. This year may the blessing of receiving God’s true answer overflow, in the name of Jesus Christ I bless you.

Prayer. God, thank You. Let us begin with God’s covenant. Let us begin with the complete gospel. Let us begin only with prayer. Let us begin only with evangelism. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

04. Jan. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Genesis 37:1-11

---

RT – [ Start ]
You must take a brief look at the beginnings of the 7 remnants.

▣ Introduction
So, because remnants will in any case become summits,

1. Summit time
All you need is to take a little of this time. In fact, you do not need to worry about anything. Truly, all you need is to have summit time. Even if you are first in your entire school in studies, if you do not have this time, the rest of your life will be nothing but hardship.

2. Summit posture
Since you will become a summit anyway, you set your posture a little.

3. Summit vessel
Since you must receive this answer anyway, you prepare the summit vessel a little.

[Prayer]
With this before you, now prayer begins. For remnants, in truth even about five minutes every day is enough. Because you do not do this, you cannot know how much answer you have received or what you will receive. Therefore you must always ask questions: how should I do this? Even five minutes of prayer is enough. Then what is important becomes visible.

▣ Main
1. Genesis 37:1–11 Fulfillment of everything
You see this, don’t you? How world evangelization must be done comes out clearly. From that time on, everything about Joseph was about bringing this to fulfillment. Remnants must surely remember: even a little, this (fulfillment of everything) will surely come out.

End
What should you begin? You see what your end is. Now you begin with that. It becomes very easy. And it does not matter even if difficulties come—because you pass through all of them. Thus, it was by great good fortune that he went as a slave; it was even better fortune that he went to prison. It goes like this.

2. Exodus 2:1–10 Age 80
This is when Moses was young. His mother taught him. What he must do in the future came out clearly. When he became 80 years old, it began to be fulfilled. There must be reasons. What had not been fulfilled until he was 80 began to be fulfilled in the year he turned 80. There is no one who received answers as much as Moses.

3. 1 Samuel 7:1–15 (1 Samuel 3:1–19)
Look at this. This is the great Mizpah movement that arose in Israel. But this had already been given at that time. It had already been given when Samuel prayed as a child, and from then on not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground. Therefore, our remnants should calmly begin this (summit time, summit posture, summit vessel). And in any case you must also go to university—that is simply a place you must go, so that you will know what has existed up to then. Frankly, even if you don’t know, to take exams you must know something. If your score does not come out at all, you cannot go. That is what it is; that cannot be used for service. You must surely keep this in mind: the jobs that exist now will all disappear.

When we were young, in our village if a house kept a white dog, we would say, “the house that keeps a white dog.” If there was a willow tree, we would say, “the willow house.” But for one house, just by looking at that house, we would say “the driver.” That meant everyone in our neighborhood did not know how to drive, and only that person did. That person made a living by driving—he would go to the city, drive a bus, and come home. How is it now? Everyone drives. Things all change like this. In the same way, the worries remnants have now—you truly do not need to worry. You must truly pray and open your spiritual eyes. Parents must know well and teach well. You must not teach unconditionally. Enormous problems come to children. If this direction is lost, in fact they suffer their whole lives. It is heartbreaking. Though even there God has a plan, still it is heartbreaking that our remnants suffer their whole lives.

4. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 (Future) – King
He already knew it when he was young. To this praying David, God sent Samuel and made known all the future. Among them, especially, He told him he would become king. It is an immense event.
(Fulfillment)
Therefore all of David’s paths were paths of bringing all this to fulfillment. A path of fulfillment—this is what it is. This is all talking about the 7 remnants now.

5. 2 Kings 2:9–11 Dothan
This is Elisha. All our evangelists must remember this. Many evangelists think wrongly. They like Gilgal, Jericho, Bethel, and such. Elisha did not. Therefore through this man a tremendous Dothan movement arose. Elisha saw this now. Therefore, if remnants just prepare this (introduction) a little, surely, unconditionally, works will arise.

6. Isaiah 6:13, Isaiah 7:14
Isaiah prophesied. All this was lost, but there arose people who held to it. The remnants will arise. And Immanuel—“A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and will call his name Immanuel.” All this was lost. But a few people arose who held to this. You know who they are. A representative figure is Daniel. Representative figures are the three young men. A representative figure is Esther. Therefore works could not help but arise. It is not difficult at all. Remnants, just hold to this covenant.

7. Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
Therefore Paul dug into the synagogue. By digging into the synagogue, he explained what Christ is, what prayer is, and what answers are. By this one thing, the world is changed. And soon Israel was destroyed. That was in A.D. 70. When Paul wrote these letters, it was shortly before that. So now he was carrying out his final ministry. In a way, it was urgent. And then—Israel’s door closed and it was over. At that time a general named Titus captured it, and a certain rabbi went to meet that general. The rabbi said, “It is fine if we all die. But please do not destroy the synagogues where our children gather.” It is not a wrong statement. “Please do not destroy the synagogues where the children gather.” And the general said okay. This is the key. Many gospel-holding remnants who went out from those synagogues conquered Rome. You cannot imagine it. You cannot even imagine the power of this gospel. Now, there is nothing else to think about. The gospel that the pastors sow, the gospel that you sow—later, unimaginable things will take place. Therefore we begin having already presented the answer. All remnants and evangelists go forth already having the answer.

This year such a new beginning will surely arise for you. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let there be a true new beginning for us. Let Your kingdom be accomplished even at this time. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8

---

Around 1970, when we were college students, right? Even then there was this saying: “It’s Friday.” Of course it is a term used in America. It means that when Friday comes, you finish school and go out to have fun. Because they are so excited, it means “It’s Friday today.” In fact, from that time American youth began to collapse. On Saturday they went out to play, so they were not at home, wandered around, and ended up falling into drugs. Many problems came. As that became a culture, naturally they did not go to church. So once the American church lost spiritual power, it could not rise again. Therefore, the remnant age must be opened and we must rise.

「Main figures of the three-day weekend age」
So from now on, you must save this age. If you cannot save this part, you cannot save other places. From now until the time you graduate and go out into the world, there is something you must prepare.

▣ Introduction: Prepare first
There are some things you must prepare a little earlier. There are three things you must surely prepare first.

1. What to change (Acts 17:1)
You must change this during the remnant time. So they dug into the synagogue and emphasized Christ.

[ Satan’s bartizan ]
Almost everyone does not know this. They are holding on to Satan’s bartizan. They do not even know why things do not work. They do not know why many spiritual problems are coming. Now, because you have heard this several times, you may take it casually, but it is quite serious. It is serious enough to ask whether it is right to send children to America without their parents.

[ Christ ]
So as I said today, it can be changed only by Christ’s bartizan. If you do not change this, from the moment they go out, they will suffer their entire lives. Most people pretend otherwise, but most Christians are not receiving answers and are suffering. That is all our fault—because we did not change this. They do not even know that it must be changed, but Jesus said there is a complete bartizan of Satan.

[ Matthew 12:26–30, John 8:44 ]
They were astonished. “Satan, the strong man, is in your house.” And He said these dreadful words to the devout Jews: “Your father is the devil.” They were shocked: “Do you mean our father is the devil?” “Yes,” He said. Therefore they can never save the world. It must be changed during the remnant time. It is enough to understand this once.

2. What to find (Acts 18:4)
Then, during the remnant time, there is something to find. You must find what prayer is and what the journey is.

[ Journey of the throne ]
Change it to Christ’s bartizan and quickly find the journey of the throne.

[ Nephilim ]
If not, even without your knowing, the Nephilim are taking hold of everything. The word Nephilim refers simply to those possessed by evil spirits. Shamans have temporary power—Nephilim. In this way, they are digging into schools and carrying out the meditation movement. Those of you who know the gospel must take this seriously. Those who do not know the gospel will not even understand this talk.

3. What to establish (Acts 19:8)
So there is something to establish quickly for the remnants—something to set up. What will we do in 2025? We will look at these three (what to change, what to find, what to establish) at the New Year time, but first these (what to change, what to find, what to establish) must be delivered to the remnants. It says he explained boldly about the work of the kingdom of God.

[ Tower of Babel ]
Therefore many remnants and the young generation, not knowing, are heading toward the Tower of Babel where they cannot help but collapse. If it collapses, they die together.

[ Guidepost ]
So we must quickly establish the guidepost of the throne for the remnants. This must come first. But it is not difficult: during the remnant time—now, while they are young—it is enough if they understand well just once. If the adults sitting here have truly received a blessing, it will be the gospel you heard when you were young and the gospel that you heard deep in your heart. Apart from that, nothing else becomes yours. Even if you are older, the moment you truly understand the gospel, that remains forever. And all the rest of the life that remains came in during the remnant time.

▣ Main: 300% preparation
Now, while doing this, remnants must unconditionally prepare 300%.
“What is 300%? Isn’t 100% just 100%?” There is 100% for me. God has 100% for your way. And 100% is prepared for the future system. If you prepare this (300%), it becomes much easier. So if our parents and teachers do not do this, our children—even if they do not show it and say nothing—will suffer in their studies themselves. And there is no guarantee that even after doing that they will completely win. Someone said that when he went to Harvard, he was shocked. He thought he was good at studying. When he went, there were so many who were better than him. It will be like that. And that does not mean you will succeed. You must do this (300%) to succeed. Though it may rarely happen, even if someone did not attend school, if this (300%) is done, he succeeds. Simply put, someone like Bill Gates did not finish university. He went and then quit. Why? Because there was no time to prepare this (300%). It was at that level. So his eyes were opened to this. This man was totally among the Nephilim, yet his eyes were opened. He prepared this 300%. So wherever he went, he made money very easily. While we struggle because we have no money, wherever he went he just made tens of trillions. It has become like that now. Therefore our remnants must find this. How do you find it?

1. Prayer 300%
First of all, discover prayer. Prayer 300%.

1) Bartizan imprint (platform)
If you imprint now the 7 bartizans that Christ gives, it becomes a platform that never disappears. If this is not done and you go out to study, you must do it at the same level as unbelievers, and it is hard. We are at a disadvantage compared to unbelievers. Unbelievers do not go to Friday prayer meetings, have no Lord’s Day, and just play, so they have much more time advantage than we do. But if we are losing hold of this (prayer 300%), we cannot keep up with unbelievers. If we are not careful, though we should be leading unbelievers, we end up following them and suffer all our lives. This is the only thing that must be found during the remnant time. Of course, nothing is impossible even when you are older, but it is harder. If a remnant finds it, it is easy.

2) Journey (root)
And nothing else is necessary. Christ explained the journey He goes—the journey of the throne. Imprint the bartizan of the throne and root the journey of the throne. Then a bartizan that shines light, a watchman’s bartizan, will naturally be set up.

3) Guidepost (nature)
You must make the guidepost of the throne that Jesus explained—from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth—completely your own as your nature. This is prayer 300%. It is easy. You just pray continually. Then little by little it becomes imprinted in you. What is imprinted does not go out. One day it takes root and then fruit begins to come forth. At last it becomes your nature and you change the age. The Bible strongly emphasizes this as the remnant movement. From now on you need not worry about circumstances. Just prepare this (prayer 300%). Even if perhaps you are not exceptionally skilled in studies, it is fine. If you prepare this (prayer 300%), you gain strength.

2. Studies 300%
Now, with this strength, make your studies 300%. To the precious multiethnic people who came here, I asked like this: “Make it 300% and go.” “But how do we make this 300%?”

1) Talent specialization 100%
If you pray even a little, from then the exact talent appears. Talent is given from above, but because you do not pray at all, you do not know it; if you pray a little, talent comes out. Specialize this (talent). 100%.

2) Field-ization 100%
Next, even before going out, you must open your eyes to the field. It is the nature of the field and field-ization 100%. Do exactly this.

3) System 100%
Finally, what is it? You see the age. So make the system 100%. Then you will inevitably win. So thankfully—this is not boasting but testimony—I completed this blessing during college. Then answers came astonishingly. Because I am somewhat lacking, I did not prepare much. If I had known, I would have prepared much; but blessings and answers poured out and I have been beside myself until now. Truly so. Remnants—since you know you will conquer the world—pull yourselves together and prepare.

How easy is this? My talent had to be evangelism. So I prepared everything about evangelism. How full of grace it is—the preparation. Others who had money traveled and went to have fun, but I could not. I entered the field 100%. I received so much grace. And before coming here, I could see the system clearly: “Ah, if we do it like this, it will work.” So before coming here, I was doing the evangelism movement and then I came. Just as our elder prayed, from the meeting (Evangelism House) to the 5,000 tribes, God continued to work without ceasing.

In 2025, amazing evidences will arise. Here we will firmly set up the three courtyards, and a sure door will be prepared toward the 5,000 tribes. And remnants, prepare like this. Even if perhaps you do not study well, if this preparation (studies 300%) is in place, you will succeed. But if you did well in studies and yet this preparation (studies 300%) is not in place at all—then what should you do? You must take exams and get a job. You must barely pass through competition. But this (studies 300%) is not in place. This (prayer 300%) is even less in place. Without this strength (prayer 300%), of course this (studies 300%) will not work, right? Then after getting a job, you must compete. And when you compete, you see that the ranks are full of people flying about illegally with tricks. You must listen well now—if you do not get this (studies 300%), you cannot overcome it. You will have to use tricks. From then, what can you do? Because you must live, you package yourself. If you do not even do that—long ago, our elders lived sincerely, so even with that it worked. But now that does not work. If you remain still like this, when you get older you must marry; from then on it is no longer packaging—you are the head of the household. You must deceive something. Pretend otherwise. Pretend to be skilled. You must deceive, though you do not actually have skill, acting as if you do and putting on airs. What else can you do then? After you pass the young adults stage, difficulties come. A situation where you should be doing world evangelization should come, but instead you are chased by difficulties. Of course even then God will protect you. But that is not what we are about. We must do world evangelization and go. To be born and merely eat and then go? That is not us. That is animal level. Animals may eat and go. We are not that. We must surely prepare. And finally there is something to remember.

3. Future 300%
Because you must carry out world evangelization, you must prepare 300% for the future. What does that mean?
1) 237
When the remnants do everything like this, it fits the 237 nations. It is set to fit exactly.
2) 5,000
Then, if you hold to the covenant a little more, it is set to fit the 5,000 tribes. Then your occupation, work, and studies are set aright.
3) Missions 300%
Now you must be able to go to these (the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes) and do missions. The 300% for missions comes out. This (missions 300%) is Paul’s team. This (missions 300%) is the people of Romans 16. What is 100%? They were completely led by the Holy Spirit. They first received the leading of the Holy Spirit. They first received power. Then what? The work of the Holy Spirit took place in the field. And then what? A system is made. The fruit of the Holy Spirit begins to arise.
Exactly like this is enough. What remnants must remember forever and for life (introduction, main message). Do this. Then answers will come to you beforehand, so there is nothing to worry about.

▣ Conclusion [ holy meditation age ] [ main figures of the three-day weekend age ]
When this happens, you open the holy meditation age, and as in today’s title, you become the protagonists of the three-day weekend age.

1. Healing
What kind of protagonist do you become? On Friday of the holy meditation age, you will heal the whole world. You first change the culture. The multiethnic people here receive this blessing and go change the culture. You must surely remember this from childhood.
You may not understand this. Those who are my age will understand. We did not have food, so we mostly received food aid from America. In our village, the empty cans left over from what was sent from America filled the whole village. So from childhood we saw English letters—because we ate aid food. We were so poor that we had no clothes. Now there are clothes everywhere. Because we had no clothes, we wore clothes brought from abroad. When they send clothes from abroad, do they tailor them to fit us? No. When they arrived, people in the village or church gathered, tried them on, and took what fit. When I looked at that, my father scolded me. I did not understand. Why wouldn’t he let me look? It was interesting to look. Later I understood. Even among such circumstances, those who had some thought felt it was shameful. How would I know that? My father got angry and scolded me. I later realized, “Ah.” Now I understand.
We must give healing. Fortunately, missionaries came to our country and healed Korea well. Healing. This is the first of the three-day weekend age.

2. Summit
For remnants, no matter what anyone says, you must discover talent and make it 300%. This is the remnant Summit. This mainly takes place on Saturday.

3. Worship
Why is it called the three-day weekend? On the Lord’s Day, remnants must completely restore worship. That is the end. Remnants must hold to worship so firmly today that answers naturally come throughout the six days. Teachers who teach remnants and our associate ministers must not worry but prepare with your life.

I do not read books on Saturday. I do not look at other things on Saturday. On Saturday it is almost fine even if I do not sleep. What is my task? What does God desire most today as the remnants gather? You must ask that all night. I must not tell my own story. We must hear what God desires. Preparing that is preaching. Congregants do not come to hear a sermon; they come to offer worship. If we do not succeed here, it will not do. I bless our remnants in the name of Jesus Christ to begin, from now on, the preparation to save the world. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Let this graduation worship not be an end but a beginning. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

▣ Introduction
Thank you.
※ John Bunyan, who went to prison for preaching the gospel – wrote the work The Pilgrim’s Progress and turned the whole world upside down.
Even today there are countries where you cannot preach the gospel. John Bunyan was arrested for preaching the gospel. And he received a sentence of 16 years. What would you do if it were you? Would you still attend church? Most people would not. He faced a situation of being locked up for 16 years. Usually, when those of us who live a life of faith face difficulties, we hesitate a lot, saying, “What should I do?” Because it looks as if there are no answers in sight, we are shaken. But John Bunyan was not shaken at all. There, as you know, he read the Bible and began to create a work. For a time, it became the most widely read book in the world. The title of that book is The Pilgrim’s Progress. It means “the pilgrim’s path.” He wrote that single book in prison. And it turned the world upside down.

The content is as follows. To a man named Christian, He says this: “The city you live in is not an ordinary city. It is the City of Destruction.” So he called it the City of Destruction—“a city that will be destroyed in the future.” “You must soon leave. Head toward the Celestial City.” “Do not just go alone; if possible, take your friends.” In other words, evangelize. So he takes two friends. One friend’s name is Obstinate. Obstinate refuses for three reasons and will not go. “This city will soon be destroyed.” He says, “It’s fine.” But the other friend’s name is Pliable. Because he is pliable, he follows along well like this. As they go, they enter a certain marketplace. The name of that market is Vanity Fair. It looks very splendid, but it is utterly empty. The product they try to purchase there is a product called Truth. Christian looks for it, but there is no product called Truth. The friend named Pliable sees the goods of Vanity Fair, likes them very much, and says he will live there forever and refuses to come out. In the end, Christian goes on alone.

As he goes, to reach the Celestial City he must pass through a certain gate. He tries to enter the gate, but the gate is small. He cannot get in. Then the watchman looking down from above, whose name is Discretion—“Hyo-si (曉示),” meaning “one who sees the dawn”—says, “You cannot enter here.” Looking closely, the burden on his back is larger than his body. When he removes it, he slips in.

After he enters, this watchman named Discretion gives two gifts. He gives him a sword. “This sword is the sword of the Word, and with it you can defeat the enemy.” Then he gives him armor. “This armor cannot be penetrated by any sword. And this sword can pierce anything.” He tells him to take them and go. But the moment he puts on the armor, he realizes there is no back. Strange, isn’t it? Without a back, it is like a front apron. So he ties it with straps and sets out.
As he goes, he meets a fearsome devil commander named Apollyon. With a long spear and even flapping wings, Apollyon comes attacking. Christian cannot possibly win. The wings flap, he flies, and attacks with a long spear. At that moment, Christian realizes something instantly: “This will not work. The best strategy is to run away.” So there is a saying “the 36 stratagems.” The last and greatest strategy among the strategies of battle is to flee. He tries to run away and then realizes there is no back. “Ah, if I turn back, I will die.” So he fights with all his might. Then something strange happens. No matter how much the devil commander stabs Christian with the spear, he cannot be pierced. Christian catches on to this: “Ah!” Even more surprising, the devil commander also catches on: “This one will not die.” Simply put, the devil falls into a trial. Knowing this, Christian creates a golden opportunity and kills Apollyon with the sword. With a single blow, Apollyon falls. Then he heads toward the Celestial City.
He has almost arrived when two lions stand guard. They roar to devour him. What should he do? When he tries to run, he cannot. Looking closely, that is not the case. The lions have four legs, but both front legs are tied. They are bound with chains. So, though they come near and roar, they cannot bite. Knowing this, Christian passes by calmly. That is the book’s content. It began to sell throughout the world.

1. When the way is blocked
Today we are sending off the year and entering the timetable of welcoming the New Year. So, how should we go through this year? Also, the way is blocked. We see today that Paul’s way of evangelizing was completely blocked in Asia. He tried to go to Bithynia, but that way was blocked as well.

1) Most people give up
What do we do at such times? When the way is blocked or when we face difficulty, what do we usually do? Most people give up. When we try to begin our life, it is an extremely important timetable—what should we do?

2) Religion – teaches that you reap what you sow. Almost all will die.
Religion teaches like this: “You will receive according to what you have done; you will reap what you have sown.” That is the “truth” of religion. If that is so, I cannot be saved. You might be saved, but I have nothing to receive. If we follow religion, almost all will die. “You will reap what you have sown.”

3) Buddhism – teaches that since there is a next life, endure.
What does Buddhism teach? “Even if you suffer now, there is a next life. Endure.” Is that so? I cannot endure. That is how they teach. So, when I went to Thailand, I saw in front of a very wealthy house that a child was sweeping and doing chores very well. I asked how he could do that, and they said he does that to be born well in the next life.

4) People go to fortune-tellers possessed by evil spirits. And so they receive the leading of evil spirits.
Some people, when they try to begin a year and difficulties come, naturally go to have their fortunes told. They say the most fortune-telling is done in January. Right now is the time when fortune-tellers make money. Even deacons go. Deacons go to have their fortunes told and ask, “If I do this business, will it go well or not?” They say that even foolish pastors go. They go to a fortune-teller and ask, “If I plant a church here, will it go well or not?” The moment you have your fortune told by someone possessed by an evil spirit, you are led by evil spirits.

2. God surely guides you. You just need to go there.
Now, we are beginning to go into a year we have never been to before—2025. In fact, we have never encountered the year 2025. We only guess by God’s grace, “It will be like this,” but we do not know. But the way is blocked. “I do not know what to do.” At this point most people miss what is important.
Today I also had time to counsel a remnant. In the content it said, “I do not know what I should do.” So I will answer: “Do nothing.” If you do not know, there is no need to do anything.

1) The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, guides you (verses 6–7).
What does verse 6 say today? “The Holy Spirit forbade them to speak the word in Asia.” In verse 7, “The Spirit of Jesus did not permit them.” In verse 9, “In the night a vision appeared to Paul: a man of Macedonia was standing there, urging him, ‘Come over to Macedonia and help us.’” “We concluded that God had called us.” Simple, isn’t it? This is how it begins. This means the Holy Spirit guides you. It means the Spirit of the Lord guides you. You must have this answer.

2) When you pray, God sends His angel and makes known the future (verse 9).
“In a vision” means that when you pray, God sends His angel to you and makes known the future. From here the important answer comes. You understand, right? It must always be so. God will surely guide you. You just need to go there.

3) Unbelievers, because they do not have the Holy Spirit, have no choice but to go to those possessed by evil spirits.
Unbelievers have no choice but to go to those possessed by evil spirits. They do not have the Holy Spirit. Right? That is an enormous difference. Unbelievers do not have the status of God’s children. There is nothing to be offended about. Because they do not believe, they are not God’s children. They do not have the life of Jesus. Therefore, of course they must go to those possessed by evil spirits. Of course they must go bow to a tree—just in case an evil spirit might come. Such a pitiful life. They must bow to a stone—because perhaps an evil spirit might come there. Should we live such a life? What troubles me these days is that too many of our nation’s politicians follow such strange divination, because they are anxious.

4) Confirm that this year will be one in which the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, completely guides you.
From now on you must live this way daily, but we have the New Year prayer meetings ahead. You must confirm it: “This year will be one in which the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of the Lord, completely guides me.”

3. How should we do it? We should pray.
What should we do? We should pray. Right?

1) Hold to the covenant within the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost that Jesus gave.
In the end, hold to the covenant within the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost that Jesus gave. There is nothing to rush. It will become clear. “What if I am hesitant?” If you are hesitant, do not do it. “Should I do this? Should I do that?” Do not do it. God will surely guide you in 2025. Right? Here is where you must now conclude your life with an answer. If it is true that He surely guides, then it is already finished for us.

2) Paul knew this and entered into deep prayer.
Paul knew this and entered into deep prayer. Just as we now have New Year prayer meetings, he entered into deep prayer. Because I am inferior to Paul, I pray even more than Paul—simply 7·7·7, 24 prayer.

▣ Main

1. Life turning point
At this time, a tremendous life turning point arose for Paul.

1) Paul – On the night in Troas when every door was blocked, the door of Macedonia opened, fulfilling the word that he was a chosen instrument to stand before kings and Gentiles.
What was fulfilled? The word that said of Paul, “He is a chosen instrument to carry my name before kings and the Gentiles.” That door opened: “to Macedonia.” That is right. The Asian family would not work. “To Macedonia.” In today’s terms—“to Europe.” At that time Europe was in control. So what is it? A tremendous answer began to be fulfilled. You must hold to this as you send off this year. How simple is it? All you have to do is pray. If you pray, He gives the answer—it becomes certain. Do you have to see a vision? No. It comes out clearly. Do you have to dream a dream? No. It comes out clearly. Many dreams are nonsense. Therefore a clear answer must come. People dream according to their temperament—those are nonsense dreams. Someone said there was a war in his dream and it was a mess, but it turned out it was just the alarm clock ringing—wasn’t it? How much of a nonsense dream is that? Someone dreamed of a flood—and he had wet his pants. You must not believe such nonsense dreams. You must hold to the sure covenant of God.

2) Joseph – While holding to God’s covenant and praying when his mother died and he was near death, he saw the vision of world evangelization.
What is this? The entire history begins to be seen. When his mother died and he was on the verge of death, Joseph held to God’s covenant and prayed, and he saw the vision of world evangelization. Such a work arose. Right?

3) Moses – God appeared in the fire. “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.”
The people of Israel were all about to die. While he was tending sheep in the wilderness, God appeared in the fire. He remembered the word his mother had given him 80 years earlier: “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.” From that sacrifice he had heard from his mother, the works began. You must never lose this.

※ The Holy Spirit is in you and guides you. The moment you are led by the Holy Spirit, a turning point for your entire life arises. You have the qualification to be led by the Holy Spirit. This is the difference between a believer and an unbeliever. There is no other difference. The Holy Spirit is in you and guides you. To the unbeliever—truly, I am sorry—an evil spirit works and guides that person. That is why they go to have their fortunes told. That is why they go to worship idols. They have no choice. That is why spiritual problems come. Therefore, the moment you are led by the Holy Spirit, a turning point for your entire life arises.

4) David – While working alone, holding to the covenant in the pasture, he came to meet Goliath.
As you know well—while he was working alone in the pasture, holding to the covenant, one day he came to meet Goliath. He came. He met a great turning point of life.

5) Elisha, Obadiah – Having received just a little guidance of the Holy Spirit, God carried out the work of changing the world.
The nation had become an idolatrous nation and all were about to die. Look at Elisha. Look at Obadiah. Having received just a little guidance of the Holy Spirit—see Obadiah, who hid 100 prophets in the crisis. God carried out the work of changing the world. ※ The more certain, the better. The covenant does not change. God protects the church and the individuals who will carry out world evangelization.
The more certain, the better. Do not be shaken—the more certain, the better. Why? Because the covenant does not change. World evangelization is God’s will. God protects the church that will carry out world evangelization. God protects the individuals who will carry out world evangelization. No matter what anyone says, it is so. Right? Hold to this covenant firmly.
As you know, after Paul met Christ, he was completely changed. And through Ananias came the word: “He is a chosen instrument to stand before Israel, the Gentiles, and kings.” When was this fulfilled? When every door was blocked—on the night of Troas. The place was Troas. On the night of Troas.

※ When life is the hardest, God gives the best. In a certain sense, when your life is the hardest, God gives the best.
I always pray when I see the multiethnic people who have come from abroad. They are now facing the most important timetable of life. If there are people who pray for them, God will not leave them alone. You must hold on.

2. Turning point for the church – You meet the people God has prepared.
As time is short, secondly: In order to receive this guidance of the Holy Spirit, Paul prayed that night—and this became a complete turning point for the church. From then on he met people whom God had prepared.

1) While going to pray he met Lydia, and he healed the sickness of a demon-possessed person whom no one could heal.
While going to pray, he met Lydia. Lydia did not invite him first. While going to pray, he met Lydia. This is the firstfruit. It is the firstfruit of Macedonia. Paul proclaimed the gospel. The Bible says, “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart.” Then Lydia said, “Come into my house and stay.” From then the works began. If you are led by the Holy Spirit and see God’s sure guidepost, then within that turning point the work of changing the church will happen.
He healed the sickness of a demon-possessed person whom no one could heal. Right?

2) In Thessalonica, the gateway to Rome, God had prepared Jason.
It did not end there. There was a great nation that connected to Rome—Thessalonica. God sent Paul there. When he arrived, a person like Jason was prepared. And not only that.

3) God prepared the couple Priscilla and Aquila, who would change the world, and had them meet Paul.
God had prepared the couple Priscilla and Aquila who would change the world, and had them meet Paul. It was not through someone’s introduction. It was complete leading of the Holy Spirit. In this way, God had prepared them.

3. Turning point that changes the world – Rome
Today, and on the road ahead, if you, not as unbelievers but being led by the Holy Spirit—even if you are led just a little—then the third thing happens. What is it? The timetable of a turning point that changes the world. What is that? Rome. That is the end.

1) “You must also see Rome.”
Paul came to realize this. And after the works arose, he was not proud at all, not shaken at all, and said, “You must also see Rome.” Open your eyes. At this time God aligned everything in direction for Paul.

2) “You must testify in Rome also” – God quoted Paul, who had the exact covenant.
Because of this, Paul stood in court. God spoke directly: “Paul, do not be afraid. You must testify in Rome also. Be of good courage.” God quoted Paul’s words. Why? Because Paul had God’s exact covenant.
If you hold to this covenant that you received on the night of Troas, God will quote your words, actions, and life. This is an important beginning. From the moment you hold to God’s sure covenant, God will take hold of your work. Right? You will not need to worry about your health. Remnants’ studies? You will not need to worry.

3) “You must stand before Caesar” – What the angel of the Lord said while he prayed in the hold of the ship when they met the storm.
Not only that. A world of complete crisis came. As you know, though Paul had no crime, he was going to Rome as a prisoner to stand trial. The name of that ship was Alexandrian. I mention the name to set the historical evidence. He had to sail to Rome on that ship. Paul was a man of prayer. Having evangelized much, he knew: “If we go now, we will all die in the storm. We must wait here for a while before going.” No one listened to Paul. But there was a centurion in charge, right? His name was Julius. Because he was uneasy—he had responsibility—he called the shipowner and asked, “This man says we will meet a storm; is that right?” The shipowner said, “There has never been a storm at this season.” So the centurion named Julius asked the captain, “Is it true that this ship will meet a storm?” The captain, speaking from experience, said, “Impossible.”
But Julius was a Roman officer and a very prudent man. He asked again. He asked the whole group for their opinion: “This man insists the ship will meet a storm; shall we still go?” The 276 people aboard all said, “Let us not rest here—let us go to Phoenix.” Phoenix is a good place to rest. “Let us rest a bit there and then go.” No one listened to the evangelist.
But as they went, a tempest suddenly struck. A violent storm struck suddenly. Because it struck suddenly, there was no countermeasure. As the violent storm struck, the ship began to sink. The storm was so fierce that they did not know how many days had passed. They did not know whether it was night or day. The ship began to sink. They roughly estimated it had been about fourteen days—fourteen days in the storm. All hope was gone. Others were screaming to survive, praying, throwing cargo overboard. Useless. In disaster, the shipowner’s money does not work. Right? The captain’s skill does not work. The centurion’s rank does not work. While they were in turmoil and the ship was sinking, Paul went down into the hold and began to pray. Then God appeared to Paul: “Last night an angel of the Lord stood by me and said, ‘Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.’” Having heard this, Paul came up and comforted the people on board. At first he rebuked them a little: “Did I not tell you this would happen?” “But last night the angel of the Lord spoke to me and said, ‘Do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.’” After this word was delivered, the storm began to subside. What happened? Paul’s going to be tried—settled. He was on the way to Rome to stand trial. What is it? The turning point that changes the world. It was connected all the way there.
As you send off this year and enter the next—just even briefly—it is fine. You must pray. How truly should you begin? What should you do when the door is blocked for you? What should you do when difficulties come? It must become the turning point of receiving the perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit.

▣ Conclusion

1. When you are sick – Rely on nothing and pray before God
To conclude—if you become sick, what should you do? Rely on nothing and truly enter before God in prayer, as Paul prayed. Paul prayed to the point that he said he did not know whether he was in the body or out of the body.

2. When you fall into crisis – Pray before God. When Israel collapsed and was scattered as wanderers, the disciples of the synagogue whom Paul had prepared were sent out.
What should you do when you fall into complete crisis? Paul did not go up on deck. Shouldn’t people go up? But what could he do if he went up? He went down into the hold of the ship and began to pray before God. After this—A.D. 70. Not long after—Israel collapsed. They were scattered throughout the world as wanderers. At that time, Paul began to send out the disciples of the synagogue he had prepared. It seems like a dreamlike story. Because God does it. But what I am telling you now is a historical fact.

3. Hold to the exact covenant.
Hold to the exact covenant. Before this year ends and before the New Year comes, hold to the exact covenant. As to which covenant you should hold, I will speak as a reference at the New Year time.
In October of ’87—October 1987—I came into Yeongdo. When I came, some of our early members were there—our deaconesses. I made one promise with them: “If our church carries out the gospel movement, God will be responsible for everything. If you and I are truly people who will carry out the gospel movement, God will bless our church.” I said that and began. Disciples are arising throughout the world.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will hold to the sure covenant completely by the leading of the Holy Spirit. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank You, God. Though it is a short time, let it be an important time. As we finish the year and enter the New Year, let us see God’s perfect covenant. Let us see the turning point in our lives. Now let us see the turning point in our church. And now work so that we can see the turning point for our posterity and for the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

From Caesarea Philippi To ROME
Lecture 3: To Rome [Leave Behind the Footprints of Your Lifelong Answer] (Romans 16:25-27)

---

Healing House (Romans 16:25)
TCK House (Romans 16:26)
Holy Mason (Romans 16:27)

---

♠Introduction: Overall theme of Lectures 7–9 – “To Rome (Romans 16 people)”

The people of Romans 16 saw this (to Rome).
They understood when Paul said, “You must also see Rome.” Now you must leave behind the footsteps of answers for your entire life. What is that? Let me explain simply.
⑦Lecture 7: Healing house (Romans 16:25) → Every church leader must build a Healing house according to the Bible. It does not matter if you do not build it quickly. Romans 16:25 says that He promised to give what was hidden for ages past.
⑧Lecture 8: TCK house (Romans 16:26) → Every church leader must build a TCK house. It is the lifelong answer.
⑨Lecture 9: Holy mason (Romans 16:27) → Every church leader must become a Holy mason. This is Romans 16:27.

♠Lecture 7: Healing house (Romans 16:25) → “5 kinds of life (daily life)” ♠

People like Lydia and Priscilla in the early church did this ministry well, but today there are no people doing this. All you need to do is help with these 5 things through life. That is why it is not just called “healing” but “Healing house.” I help them so that they can be healed, through daily life. What are the 5 kinds of life? Nothing else. It is very simple.
Before much prayer and breathing, you must know this: ① medically, it must be accurate. For example, if salespeople spoke only accurately, they would make money. But they speak as if they have a cure-all. If that were true, Asan Medical Center and Samsung Medical Center would all have to close down, wouldn’t they? Because it is a cure-all. That makes no sense. Koreans, if they hear something is good, they eat it unconditionally. Especially members of the Evangelism Movement – they are even more extreme. Their concentration is strong. I think, “That is incredible.” My doctor once told me: “A human body is not worth just 20 or 30 million won. Why do they put anything into it?” He was right. First, it must be accurate medically. According to that comes ② food, and according to that comes ③ exercise. You must help them with this. The most important exercise is the original – what God gave. Eve did not wear high heels. Take note. Just walking like that is enough. Truly. Adam and Eve held hands and had to work in the morning to eat breakfast. Because there were no refrigerators, everything spoiled. They had to work at noon to eat lunch. They had to work again before sunset to eat dinner and then sleep. This is what God gave. If you do this, real works arise. Then, in a place with clean air, ④ breathe. There, ⑤ pray.
That is how you help them. Personalize it. If they say even breathing is difficult, bring them and make them rest. If they say walking barefoot is difficult, then have them take off their shoes and walk. How good is that? The shocking truth is that there is not a single church in the entire world that helps such sick people. It is astounding. Knowing this, the 3 organizations are attacking like fire. Why do we make it so difficult? If I were a doctor, even better. Doctors must honestly confess: you only know what can be seen with your eyes or in pictures. You cannot be responsible for more than that. And many of these illnesses began long ago. They already suffered from spiritual problems. So what should we do? We must help them with this. What evangelism could be better than this? You must do it. After praying, establish a Healing house that is dignified and of a higher level. Do not do it roughly. Even unbelievers should see it and say, “That is correct. Even doctors see it and say, ‘That is right, they are doing well.’” It must be medically accurate. Then when disciples come and see it, they will say, “This is truly the gospel.” That is the kind of house you must build.

Introduction – Healing (brain science)
In the future, all churches must be healing churches. Not only churches. Any business unrelated to healing will not develop.

1. Incurable diseases
2. Mental illnesses
3. Spiritual illnesses
What kind of illnesses? Because they cannot be treated, they are incurable, mental, and spiritual illnesses, and they are full. Almost all come from the brain. Among healings, brain science is rising. Remnants must take note. The age of brain science is coming. The 3 organizations will attack. But the spiritual problem brings even more serious problems. Truly, all these illnesses come from the brain. That is why I tell them to breathe comfortably. When they breathe, the brain comes alive.

Main

1. The 7 remnants – healing the age
If you look carefully in the Bible, the 7 remnants healed the age itself. Joseph saved the 237 nations. Moses went through Egypt and the 40 years in the wilderness, proclaiming the Lord to all the surrounding nations. People like Samuel healed the entire age. Even during captivity, they healed the age of the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes. Without this healing, the future will be difficult.

2. Peter – Acts 3:1–12
You must consider the healings of Peter and Paul. What healing did Peter do? It appears in 2 or 3 places, but the most important one is very clear. He raised the lame man at the Beautiful Gate of the temple. Everything is included in this. As this happened, the great door of evangelism began to open. It could not be stopped.

3. Paul – illnesses doctors cannot heal
And what was Paul’s characteristic? He healed all the illnesses doctors could not heal – spiritual problems and mental problems. And the person who recorded this was a doctor. Doctor Luke recorded it in detail because he was so amazed. If it had been a journalist or another person, perhaps it would have been different. But Luke was a successful physician. He was close with Theophilus and had the background to follow Paul. He recorded all of this.

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Imprint
So, what is the purpose of true healing? It is to imprint this. That is enough. To imprint the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. Then even if you do not tell them to be healed, they will be healed. Such things appear. Church leaders, take this as your lifelong prayer topic and begin praying.

 

♠Lecture 8: TCK house (Romans 16:26) → “Direction” ♠

What is next? Didn’t God say this? Shouldn’t our direction align with God? “Go to all nations, to all people, to the ends of the earth.” If He said this, then at least our direction must align.

Introduction – What standard must we set?

1. Studies (237) – First, our studies, the studies of the remnants, must have the standard of 237.
2. Occupation (5,000 tribes) – Next, like Joseph, your occupation and work must have the standard of the 5,000 tribes.
3. Mission (home country) – You must now teach the life of TCKs. From the beginning, you must set this standard. In the end, you must either return to your home country or call people from your home country. In some ways, calling them is better, because you can call many. So you must teach this from the beginning. Either you go back to your home country and save it, or you call the people there. You must imprint this clearly. Nothing is more important.

Main

1. Remnants – TCKs
Simply put, all 7 remnants were TCKs. God used TCKs. So, why were the 7 remnants TCKs? If you confirm this, you will see it clearly.

2. TCKs who are here
Where must you stake your life? On the TCKs who are already here. Among them there are false ones and true ones. Of course, you must distinguish, but even so, you must imprint this (home country) clearly to them.
We once talked about this. Recently in the provinces, the age of country houses ended, so people put all their country houses up for sale. Turn them into Healing houses. If it does not work, we will try once as a model at headquarters. Works will arise. Then train the TCKs there. Do not train TCKs in places that are too good. Why? Because they must go to their home countries and do ministry. You must train them in similar places. For example, in Busan, two people came as missionaries. But once they came to Busan, they lost their minds. Every night they went out. They loved it so much. Wherever they went, there was a supermarket. They loved instant ramen so much that they cooked and ate it every day. They wandered around. Finally, they ran away. The two of them escaped. Because they escaped, it was all reported to immigration. And because of COVID-19 issues with Japanese people, they were told to hand them back, but they refused. The World Evangelization Evangelism Association was told that two people had run away. That is true. Such things happen. You must imprint their mission from the beginning. So you must train them firmly. TCKs are everything.

3. TCKs to be invited
And then, what is more important? As I said earlier, try this in your churches this year. The TCKs you invite. This is more important. They already know and come. They are different from those you meet in Korea. Amazingly, perhaps because God is working, they are all prepared. They are prepared to an astonishing degree. They understand the Korean language very well. I was amazed. They speak Korean. They receive the gospel so well. They said after hearing the message, “This is the best.” I wondered, “Did they really understand?” Such people are so good. Isn’t that right? If they are truly in the evangelism field, when they hear the pastors’ sermons, they are all guided. Isn’t that so? If they will not evangelize, there is no use in listening. Why would they listen if they will not evangelize? If they will not evangelize, why live so stubbornly? Just live moderately, isn’t that so? Long ago, Pastor Park Ji-On left a famous saying. Someone asked, “Pastor, are you healthy?” He replied simply, “If there is no evangelism left to do, then I must go!” That is right. If there is evangelism left, we stay. If not, then we go.

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Root
So, go one step further. Root them completely before sending them. Once rooted, fruit will come. The more deeply rooted, the more fruit. That is right. So life and direction must align with God. Doing well or not is secondary.

 

♠Lecture 9: Holy mason (Romans 16:27) → “Monument” ♠

When God first called us, He promised five blessings. What are they? ① Covenant blessing, ② Fundamental blessing, ③ Representative blessing, ④ Monumental blessing, ⑤ Irresistible blessing. Among these, what we must know most is the monument. We must leave behind the footsteps of the gospel we have walked. The next generation must see them and follow.

Introduction: Romans 16:1–2 (protector) / Romans 16:3–4 (coworker) / Romans 16:23 (host)
So, to leave behind such footsteps, Phoebe staked her life. She carried the great burden of the letter to the Romans. Paul called her a protector. Normally a man protects a woman, but here a woman protected a man. Amazing. Perhaps she looked like Jang Mi-Ran (a famous weightlifter). Paul described her like this. Not only that, he called Priscilla and Aquila coworkers who risked their necks. This is truly a monumental blessing. And here also is Gaius, who was the host not only of me but of the whole church. Amazing.

Main – Monumental footsteps
So now, as you pray, leave behind monumental footsteps in the church. I often say this: greater works will continue to arise. For example, an elder’s daughter died in an accident and went to heaven. They received compensation money. They thought carefully about how to use it. I advised them: use it for something eternal. So with their daughter’s name, they built a kindergarten in Vanuatu. It became popular 500%. Later, Elder So-Ga built a middle school there with his name. How good is that? Others saw and learned. Some learn bad things, but others learn good things. This must be done. An old saying goes: when a person dies, he leaves behind a name. Isn’t that so? What else remains but a name? Your name must be in missions. Your name must be in what you dedicated in the church.

Recently, I said something for the first time. Normally I do not interfere. But I told Pastor Hwang and the elders. A deaconess passed away and gave her property for missions. I told them, “Build a TCK house with her name. Then when TCKs come and go, they will see it, pray, and learn.” In some way, every church leader must do this. In history, such things remain – Pastor Han Kyung-Jik Memorial Hall, Pastor Ok Han-Hum Memorial Hall. In advanced countries, cities and streets are named after people. Kim Dae-Jung Center, for example. How good is that? In the same way, build it in your churches. Pray about it.

1. Lifelong answers
What did David do? When he built and established, he received lifelong prayer and answers.

1) Moses – Moses did this. With lifelong prayer and answers, he carried out the Tabernacle movement.
2) David – From the moment he met Samuel, David prayed his whole life. The temple…
3) Romans 16 people – And now, the people of Romans 16. They are true models. They prayed for their entire lives. You must become such Holy masons.

2. Next generation
And most importantly, our next generation will see this. They must see and follow. What else should they see? They must see that evangelism and missions are like this. You must show them simply and clearly.

3. Christian leaders of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes
More importantly, what kind of monuments do we need? Monuments for the Christian leaders of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. Should we go into politics or other fields? No. We must raise Christian leaders who know the gospel correctly and proclaim it. We must surely build such monuments. It is not difficult. Church leaders, when you are about to die, say, “I do not need anything else. Please use my offering to build a memorial. Build a room in the church. Build a small house inside the church where the next generation, TCKs, and people of prayer can come and see.”

♠Conclusion: 7/7/7 Nature
This is what we must make. Imprint, root, and nature. Answers come as you are imprinted. Fruit comes as deeply as you are rooted. Your future and destiny change as much as it becomes your nature. This is what we must do.
Because you already know the messages well, I do not need to make long speeches. I summarized only the core. Next time, we will outline the Evangelism Movement from the Evangelism House to the 5,000 tribes, and then go deeper. Let us pray.

Prayer. May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the solution to all problems, the infinite love of God, and the powerful work of the Holy Spirit be always with all disciples who will save the world, from now to eternity. Amen.

From Caesarea Philippi To ROME
Lecture 2: On the Mount of Olives (Acts 1:1-14)

---

One Person – the Church (Acts 1:1-14)
One Church – the Region (Acts 2:1-47)
One Team – the World (Romans 16:1-27)

Introduction: Overall theme of Lectures 4–6 – “At Mt Olive (not going, but making them come)”
This is what happened “at Mt Olive.”

④Lecture 4: One person – Church (Acts 1:1–14) → Even with one person, the church is revived.
⑤Lecture 5: One church – Region (Acts 2:1–47) → If there is only one church that holds onto this covenant, the region will surely be revived.
⑥Lecture 6: One team – World (Romans 16:1–27) → If there is only one team with this covenant, the world will surely be revived.
Let me briefly introduce the Bible passages.
These are the people who had this (Acts 1:1–14). With this, they came down and received this answer (Acts 2:1–47). Even if there is only one team as in Romans 16, the world will be revived.
Background (ability) – Here you must find one answer that connects with you. In fact, this background and ability are better off not having. Only then can you do this (Acts 1:1–14). Even if you have them, like Paul, you must say they are unnecessary. Those who think they need this (background–ability) will find it difficult. Why? Because it must be this (Acts 1:1–14). So if you look carefully, there is a characteristic among church leaders who could not continue long in ministry. They get caught here (background–ability). Even if they do not get caught by it, because they are within this (background–ability), limitations come. When we commonly say “old person, young person,” this does not mean physical age. Even if aged, if they are saving many people and are in that place, who can hinder them? To be “old” includes age, but it means having become too much a person of the past. You must take note. The standard is not that you must not have background. Paul said it was totally unnecessary. That means he understood. He understood though he was not at the scene. Some were at the scene but did not understand.

Another part we have is poverty. Those who are not trapped in poverty, if they receive this answer, then that pastor will surely save a region. Those who think “I have money,” those who grew up like that, have never saved a region. Also, in fact we have no ability, don’t we? That is better. Why? Because we are trying to do the real thing. If you keep thinking you have ability, then limitations come. This is not just talk. It is about whether the answer has come or not. It is about whether you truly enjoy it or not. More important is whether this person goes to the end or not. In some cases, they cannot go to the end. Even if they go together, in the church they will just stay like dead people. Why? Because limitations come in this (background–ability)…

♠Lecture 4: One person – Church (Acts 1:1–14) → Background (ability) X ♠
Even if there is only one person with this answer, the church will surely be revived.
Introduction – 3 years / 40 days / 10 days / Lord’s Day / daily / set times / 24, 25, eternity
So the introduction must be clear, right? For 3 years, Jesus spoke about what to discard. If you do not discard them, you cannot. Then for 40 days He explained about the kingdom of the throne. They are completely contrasting. For 10 days they prayed earnestly and received the filling of the Holy Spirit. From there they came alive by devoting themselves to the apostles’ teaching – this is the Lord’s Day. As this came alive, when the Lord’s Day is revived, it is not just simply living. Because the Word is fulfilled, it became “daily in the temple, daily in the homes.” Then people with whom the covenant connects are joined. From this point, prayer that begins together is the set time prayer. Once this happens, whether you pray alone or together, it no longer matters – you change like this. This is the absolute introduction. If you are within this, you need not worry about anything else. In fact, what Jesus spoke about at Mt Olive regarding missions, of course it is also going, but it is to make them come. For example, if you have no ability to make them come, even if you go, it is useless. Isn’t that so? You must have something. That is Lecture 4.

Main
1. My platform (7 bartizans) – 24 hours
Once this happens, the first thing that arises is that God builds my platform. Once a platform is built, it is the same in business. People come to those who have a platform, don’t they? Long ago in the international market, there was a pork shop. Only one shop was packed with people. At that time its name was Sansugapsan, and all people in Busan knew Sansugapsan. If you went there, there was no seat. But right next door, another pork shop was there. Amazingly, not a single person was there. The owner sat frowning and fanning himself. It looked like no one would go there. You must make people come. That is the platform.

2. My watchman’s bartizan (7 journeys) – 25 hours
Then I stand as a watchman’s bartizan that shines the light to save many people. Naturally, then an antenna that communicates with the world and with God is raised. This is called the 7 bartizans. This is called 24. This journey is difficult – you go through the 7 journeys. So you go with the power of 25.

3. My antenna (7 guideposts) – Eternity
Here the absolute guidepost, the absolute bartizan, is raised. It will be built. This is called eternity. If only one person arises… So, if there are any church leaders here, there is nothing else to say. If you receive the answer, that is enough. If even one church leader properly receives the answer, both the church and the next generation are revived. If one church leader receives the answer, the pastor’s ministry becomes very easy. For example, if there is only one person like Gaius, world evangelization is possible. Even Priscilla and Aquila, just the two of them following, did everything. Then missions becomes easy. You don’t even have to worry. You just proclaim the gospel. This is what moved the early church.

Conclusion: The bartizan of prayer (watchman)
Then what conclusion comes? I now always build the bartizan of prayer and become a watchman. This conclusion comes.

♠Lecture 5: One church – Region (Acts 2:1–47) → Poverty (money) resolved ♠
If even one church holds onto this covenant, the region is revived.
Introduction – 3 concentrations / 3 settings / 3 answers
This is the introduction here. If you do this, it is enough. With 3 concentrations, this is built. Especially editing, planning, and designing are done. Then the 3 answers come. Overall, you must surely receive and deliver exactly what is in the Bible. I just used these words for easier explanation, but it is exactly what is in the Bible. During the 3 years of public ministry, Jesus spoke about what to discard and what to change. But the Jews and the medieval church held onto everything they were told to discard. Even if other things were okay, world evangelization could not happen. What arose were only wars. Because they gained power, they fought with it. Was it the Pope, was it the Emperor – they fought like that. Such ridiculous things happened, bringing huge problems into history.

Main – So what must you surely know when this happens?
1. Important answers
What is the most important answer to enjoy in the church? This arises right away.

1) Passover
2) Pentecost
3) Feast of Ingathering
Pentecost is based on Passover, right? Pentecost is also based on the Feast of Ingathering. So in a sense, Passover and the Feast of Ingathering are guaranteed. What we now enjoy is Pentecost. On the day of Pentecost, when it came, the work of the Holy Spirit took place…

2. World system (Acts 2:9–11)
At this point, an important world system is built. You must not lose this. This is Acts 2:9–11. In some sense, all nations were already there.

3. Worship (Acts 2:17–18, 42)
Then in worship, they enjoyed very important answers. You must not lose this in worship. This is Acts 2:17–18, right? Dreams, visions, prophecy, and speaking of the future. And verse 42 – they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching. Worship was revived. When a pastor goes to preach, if he is not in the best spiritual condition, then nothing else matters. When we preach, isn’t it so? Of course it would be good if we always had assurance that this is God’s will, that I must deliver this, but sometimes it is exactly like that. That is right. Preparing a sermon means preparing that. Of course interpreting words, theological explanation, all are important. But the most important is having the assurance that God wants to deliver this. Then the congregation must come and hear God’s voice in the sermon. All problems start from not achieving that. That is certain. If you go 10 years like that, what happens? If you live your entire life of faith like that, what happens? It becomes ridiculous.

4. Economy of light (Acts 2:43–45) – Offering
The fourth is important. Congregants must surely remember. The economy of light – this is offering. You may not realize it, but this is the economy of light. The offerings you give are used for evangelism and missions. This is the economy of light.
I always say this. A few people gathered money. Our village is not big. We built a small church. No one else received the gospel. Only my family received the gospel. From there, I went as a missionary to that country. Such tremendous things happen. When giving offering, you must never just give. It is the economy of light. It must always be prepared with prayer. Those who do not, they are poor. No choice. You can confirm for yourselves. “I do not have prayer for offering.” It is not about giving much or little, right? Nor is it about my name. Some people prepare even if they give anonymously. For me, I almost always give anonymously. Before God, I must be prepared in prayer. That is the economy of light. From that day until now, I have never suffered financial difficulty. From the very beginning until now, so many works arose, but because of people drooling, I just spent time wiping drool. They drooled endlessly. That is all I did for 30 years – wipe drool. All those people left. You must know what the economy of light is. The offering of church members – is there any economy of light greater than that? Right?

5. Worship and 6 days (Acts 2:46–47)
Finally, worship and the 6 days. Are the 6 days different days? They are all the Lord’s Day. This is Acts 2:46–47. Daily in the temple, daily in the homes…

Conclusion: Bartizan of the Word
So this conclusion comes. Build the bartizan of the Word. Build in me the bartizan of prayer, and build in me the bartizan of the Word.

♠Lecture 6: One team – World (Romans 16:1–27) → Inability resolved ♠
In this way, a team is formed among church leaders who have realized. From then, the works begin.
Introduction – From then, how does it begin?

1. Filled with faith – Filled with faith, but if you place conditions, nothing happens. So, filled with faith…
2. Filled with the Holy Spirit – If this condition is met, that is enough. Filled with the Holy Spirit…
3. Filled with wisdom – Only what comes from here can accomplish world evangelization. Filled with wisdom. These were the people chosen.

Main – So if only one team arises, that is enough. What did these people do?
1. The duty that blocks the age of disasters (Acts 6:1–7)
First, they received the duty that blocks the age of disasters. That is enough. The duty you received is to block the age of disasters. Serving God and giving glory – that is what we say among ourselves, but outwardly speaking, it is to block the age of disasters. That is how it happened. Evangelism, inwardly, is the work of salvation. Outwardly, it is blocking the disasters of darkness.

2. The beginning that changed the world (Acts 7:1–60)
This is the beginning that changed the world – the death of Stephen. He changed the world. Stephen did not die. Stephen fell asleep. Because of Stephen, the world changed. Just once was enough. If one team arises, it is enough.

3. The beginning that changed history
Finally, the beginning that changed church history and history occurred. Through one team, what happened?

1) Acts 8:4–8
A work arose in Samaria. In Samaria – this is very historical.
2) Acts 8:26–40
How could such a case be? The Ethiopian eunuch – it was not that he went. That man came. Such a meeting happened.

4. Choice of crisis
It did not end there. Church leaders must surely remember. They chose crises that changed the world. There are about three of them. What are they?

1) Acts 11:19
Acts 11:19. Truly they chose crisis.
2) Acts 12:1–25
Acts 12:1–25. You know what happened that night.

5. Pioneers of missions (Acts 13:1–5)
Finally, the actual pioneers of missions. Acts 13:1–5. The fact that church leaders were included there, the fact that Paul always established church leaders first wherever he went, and the fact that he always went into the synagogue…

Conclusion: Romans 16:25–27
Then this is the conclusion for these people. What had been hidden for ages past is revealed. What will be for all eternity is shown. This is the answer.
So it is okay if you have no ability. That ability is unnecessary. Because we cannot accomplish this (Acts 1:1–14), we do it with this ability (the content of the lecture). Then Satan kneels before your feet. That content is in Romans 16. So one person, one church, one team is enough. Church leaders must be resolved for this. I, one person – such things (background/ability/poverty/inability) are unnecessary. Because I will surely receive answers, money is unnecessary. If such a person arises, revival happens. The witnesses were in fact the people of Romans 16, weren’t they? So the churches they built were the Jerusalem church and the Antioch church. Here, mainly the history began in Antioch.
From Caesarea Philippi to Rome. Let us take a short break. Today we looked at the whole picture. Next time, we will look in detail. Soon we will look at the path to Rome. Let’s take a 10-minute break.
