Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

---

Many foreign guests have come. Also, at Immanuel Seoul and Busan, there are many good doctors who have the gospel. You should gather the church members and give them special health lectures. At Immanuel Seoul, I receive weekly reports, and I see that too many people are diagnosed with cancer. This is based on clear medical evidence, so you must take it into account.

When you are working or attending worship, you must not simply remain passive. I’m not saying you must always exert strength, but you should maintain a focus on your lower abdomen. Then your breathing will naturally slow. It greatly restores your health. Most of you likely just let things be. Because of this, after age 50, most men have difficulty urinating. Many of you probably already experience this, though you may not want to admit it. It’s nearly all blocked. Women also generally experience problems.

Singers, when they sing, take deep breaths and sing with strength applied to the lower abdomen. Buddhism does not have salvation, but they discovered something amazing—that is the 108 bows. It is extraordinary. If you bow 108 times, your lower abdomen will surely be activated. And your breathing will naturally lengthen, because you must sustain it. They discovered something remarkable without even having salvation. That’s incredible.

So when you work or attend Sunday worship, you should enjoy this as you pray, and great restoration will take place. In the morning, you should have quiet time; at night, a deeper time. That rhythm is very important.

I get a checkup at the hospital once a year, and this person was excessively aggressive in the prostate exam. There’s a reason. For younger people, not so much, but if they see someone older, they check thoroughly because most have illness there. About two years ago, I asked the doctor, “Is something wrong? Why is this so painful?” He said, “Ah, understood.” And after that, it didn’t hurt as much. He answered, probably because I asked, “Your prostate is very healthy.”

This is an unnecessary story for a sermon, but still, we must guard our health. It mustn’t be too painful. When I attend conferences or large gatherings, I use the inner restroom when needed. There are people who recognize me, so I go inside. When I go in, someone is standing there. I finish my business, wash my hands, and come out—and he’s still standing there. Obviously, it’s because he is blocked. I silently pray, “Lord~”

These people don’t know how to gain health, so of course, they suffer. Are we simply trying to live longer? That’s not the reason.

We must open the holy meditation age. We need a temple that opens the holy meditation age. Why? Whatever we do, we speak in three terms. The reason we must do it—that is the concept. Then what must we do? That is the content. How should we do it? That’s the system. We always view these three.

So when God gives us an economic system, we must have the reason why. Then, what should we do? Because we are unable to do this, we must open it. In the last session for the remnants, I asked this of them.

Naturally, I am a pastor—what was the first thing I did when I first went to Seoul? I visited the famous churches I had only heard about: Youngrak Church, Yoido Church, Chung Hyun Church—I visited them all. I even went to Myeongdong Cathedral. Even with my limited intelligence, I quickly realized: “Ah, these churches are great. They are diligent.” That’s what I felt.

But at Myeongdong Cathedral, I didn’t feel that way. “People come because they must.” No need for long explanation—they come because it’s made that way. Churches require much effort and display. You must remember this.

In America, churches struggle with operations. They are all overwhelmed. But I visited the buildings of the three organizations—they were exactly what I expected. They are made so that talented people must come. That’s the difference.

So, with this holy meditation age, we must save the world, but we must be prepared for God to bless us. This is urgent now in advanced countries like the U.S., Europe, and Japan. We must do it. No need for more words—let’s check from the introduction.

▣ Introduction
1. Re-creation of darkness
Currently, Satan is completely re-creating darkness. He is continuing this even now.

1) 12 strategies (Nephilim)
Satan continues to re-create using the 12 strategies. It sounds good, but in short, he is making Nephilim. That’s why rituals, shamanism, and possessions are all the same—they lead people to demon possession. This allows people to become possessed. In Korea, it’s expressed as “receive the spirit.” If that doesn’t work, if life is hard, they say “do a ritual.” Same thing. When people are desperate, they visit a shaman. What can they do? They perform ancestral rites or ritual sacrifices—all of this is Nephilim.

2) 5 strategies
The church also helps Satan by forming his 5 strategies. Darkness is continually re-created here. Who would want to be depressed? But depression comes. There’s no one who doesn’t feel down. But when it becomes too much and one can’t function, we call it depression. People experience ups and downs, but when it’s too severe, illness comes. It’s inevitable.

3) Brain – Soul
In short, illness comes to the brain, and then to the soul. The church must be able to deal with and help in these matters.

2. Re-creation of light
Starting now, let us not worry but prepare. Our church will engage in the re-creation of light.

1) Healing the root
Even if we only have one thing—heal the root. At Immanuel Seoul, teams are forming. I lecture every week. A healing team is gathering. What do they heal? The root. Right?

2) Healing of imprint
And we must heal what has entered, what has been imprinted. For other illnesses, you must follow your doctor’s advice. Right? What must we do? Heal the root. Don’t just eat anything because it’s “good.” Ask a doctor before taking it. Don’t just eat something because your mother-in-law says it’s good. Don’t take lots of vitamins at once—they damage your liver. Right? People die because they don’t understand this. There was a pastor who always cursed me and interfered. He took something from China said to be good and suddenly died. I didn’t feel bad about it, but I checked why—it was liver failure from too much. Follow medical advice. That’s how the body heals. Then why do we pray and try to live a proper spiritual life? To heal the root. Right? This is important. Then what must we do? Change what is imprinted.

3) Re-creation healing
And we must do re-creation healing.

3. Power
And what about you? You must have the power of world evangelization. Power. There are five types. Forgive me, adults, I’ll write in English for the remnants.

1) Power
Without power, remnants cannot overcome the world. They must have power. That’s why I spoke of the holy meditation age earlier.

2) Tacit
There is an even greater power—called tacit power. What is it? Invisible power. “Ah, that child has something.” This is the power. Then people find out—this child has the gospel. That becomes a testimony. Right? “Something about that person gives me strength.” That’s how it should be. It mustn’t be, “I gain strength, but being near that person drains me.”

3) Authority
There is even greater power—power from above. This power is different.

4) Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
There’s even greater power. Heavenly power—the power to overcome the ruler of the air. Right? Not just that—Thronely power. Eternaly power. That’s why I created lyrics gathering all of this. First year: Heavenly. Second year: Thronely. Third year: Eternaly. Fourth year: all combined. It’s hard to compose like this and hard to find the sound. So we canceled everything and kept the original melodies for each. And three paths emerged—bartizan, journey, guidepost. These were included in the lyrics. We must confirm where we are, where our remnants are, and why we gather. There is even greater power.

5) Trinity
It is the Triune God Himself. Right? God the Father, Christ, and the Holy Spirit are our power.
I will briefly summarize the rest. The introduction was long, but you must not remain unaware.

▣ Main point

Now, from this point, we must receive the answers that are being fulfilled and engage in what brings answers.

“Pastor, what if hardship comes to my family?” Then face the hardship. It is not a hardship. A child once said, “My father was wrongly accused and lost a legal battle.” That’s not losing—it’s the process. Then if the father had won, would that be victory? No. You, and that remnant, are making a mistake. This is a great misconception.

If a problem arises in your church, it’s part of the process. Right? It’s not a problem—it’s the process. Can you have results without a process? The Early Church was scattered—was that a problem? If we follow that logic, we must interpret it as such.

Was there no answer from God for 250 years? For 250 years, they were persecuted to the point of death. No—that’s not the case. Hidden remnants went underground and evangelized all of Rome. In reality, the politicians had no choice. For various reasons, but ultimately, they could not avoid declaring Christianity as the state religion. Right?

Of course, Constantine didn’t first declare it the state religion—he only granted recognition. Maybe it was his faith. But after that, they could no longer deny it.

You must prepare the vessel that must be blessed.

1. Save the root
First: save the root. What is it?
[Courtyard of healing]
It is the courtyard of healing. It must be established.

2. Discover the fundamental mystery
Second: discover the fundamental mystery. This must apply to work, study—everything. What is the fundamental mystery?
[Courtyard of the remnant]
It is the courtyard of the remnant.

3. The actual mystery of 237–5000
Have the actual mystery that saves 237 nations and 5000 tribes. You must possess the actual mystery.
[Courtyard of the Gentiles]
This is called the courtyard of the Gentiles.

▣ Main point_ The three courtyards temple

Now, what did I just speak about? Why do we open the holy meditation age? I spoke about the three courtyards. Then what is the main point? The temple of the three courtyards—the courtyard that exists and its content. It is not about grandeur. If the three courtyards are truly prepared, God begins to work. You must understand this. If your academics are prepared this way, your studies will begin receiving the blessings of world evangelization.

I say this cautiously, but from now on, if “work” is not connected to the three courtyards, it will not succeed. Churches that do not have the mystery of the three courtyards will almost all shut down. These days, even doctors are waking up. They are becoming globalized. That’s awakening. Now, doctors are starting to speak about breathing and healing. They study, and it makes sense.

In Seoul, a doctor I know is preparing how to implement the 24 system. Why? Because foreign patients are coming to Korea. They all say the same thing: “Korea has great technology, and the speed is amazing.” Things are done immediately. That’s likely true. This is the secret of conquering the world. Even Americans say real treatment is found in Korea. Our country has developed that much.

Why do I say this? This is the courtyard of the Gentiles. You must not be unaware of this.

Now, let me speak about the courtyard of healing.

1. Save the root [Courtyard of healing]
1) Watchman
As a watchman, they were established.
2) Bartizan, journey, guidepost
Watchmen must build a bartizan. There must be a bartizan. This bartizan is for the journey of world evangelization, and a guidepost must be set. Right?
3) Imprint, root, nature
Then what must be done? Change their imprint, root, and nature. What is this now? It is the leaders’ retreat. You must know what the leaders have and pray for them.

2. Discover the fundamental mystery [Courtyard of the remnant]
1) Only – discover
Do not just go. Discover “only.” If you cannot find “only,” then don’t go. Discover “only.”
2) Uniqueness – go
Go with uniqueness.
3) Re-creation – work
Go to create works of re-creation. This is the message of the remnant conference. You must absolutely remember this.

3. Actual mystery of 237–5000 [Courtyard of the Gentiles]
1) Three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, holy meditation age
To prepare for the courtyard of the Gentiles, the first thing you must do is—this is not random—it connects. These three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the holy meditation age are connected. Thus, there must be spaces where the sick can rest. Right? Prepare these places in various spots. Good. The structure must be such that those who want to pray can go in and pray. Right now, it’s difficult—people can’t even pray. There’s no place. In church, people should be able to read the Bible. That’s not difficult. Foreigners who come have nowhere to rest. They carry their bags and wander around like guests. They should be able to come freely, rest, leave their bags, take off their shoes—that’s what our church should be. Always like guests? That won’t do.

2) 300%
So, transform yourself, your “work,” the field, missions, and the church into 300%. This is the actual mystery. Actual answers. That’s how you save 237 nations. “But I’m just idle?” Then play 300%. What does that mean? You know Jeong Yak-jeon, older brother of Jeong Yak-yong. He was exiled to Heuksando Island. Back then, punishment meant exile—to a remote island. There was nothing to do—boring and hard. The only thing to do was fishing. If you fish 300%, you get a masterpiece called Jasan Eobo. It wasn’t written by fishermen. Fishermen should have written it, right? Now it’s in museums—it’s the standard. It wasn’t made by fishermen, but by someone who enjoyed 300%. Remnants must remember this. His younger brother, Jeong Yak-yong, read many books and took notes. These notes were compiled into something great. People were helped by it. That is called 300%. Even at play, be busy.

3) Romans 16:25–27
And what? Finally, what God has hidden—Romans 16:25, 26, 27—contains extremely important content. Resolution of past problems, today’s problems, and future problems—all are contained in it.
If you have the prayer to build such a temple, God will surely begin to work. I am expecting it. After much time passes, we will say, “Ah, so this is how it was.” What kind of church is needed? What kind of missionary is needed? If you cannot resolve this (Introduction), can it work? Satan continually re-creates to drag the world into destruction. That’s why we must heal. And this power is necessary. The reason is the three courtyards.

▣ Conclusion
Let us conclude.

1. Summit prayer
I told the remnants—you must not wait idly now. You must remain in prayer. Right? Of course, praying when a problem arises is important, but you must pray before problems come and view the problems through prayer. Same words, but different. It’s good to pray and study when things are tough, but you must study within prayer. Understand? It’s not hard—it’s easier. Sitting idly is extremely difficult. Right? Sitting absentmindedly, “When will this end? Today is long.” That drives you crazy. Right? Enter into prayer and ask, “God, what are You giving us?” Understood? Begin 3 concentrations. That’s called summit prayer.

2. Summit evangelism
Grabbing people on the street to evangelize is not bad. Shouting in subway stations is not bad. I cannot do that kind of evangelism. I’m too shy. True evangelism is not that. It’s overturning things through an invisible system. It’s a system battle. That’s called summit evangelism. Remnants must do this.
When you receive great answers, evangelism naturally happens. Even in Christianity, this exists. Take, for example, someone who sings and succeeds—it’s very hard. But some succeed. For women, someone like Sumi Jo. As I know, she was nurtured by the Unification Church. If she had understood the gospel, how much influence could she have had? But greater still is a gospel-holding musician influencing just one person in the field. That is greater. That’s fine—summit evangelism.
Much can be said, but think well. If your “work” prospers, think well. For example, the team that produced the musical visited to greet me. Don’t end it there. Raise talents in each country and region. Create musicals in each region. Then actors, talents will arise. There, languages are learned—our remnants learn it all. Do summit evangelism.

3. Summit works
Ultimately, what? Do what is easy. If it’s difficult and impossible, you can’t do it. Making money isn’t the goal—but you must surpass that. Success isn’t the goal—but surpass it. That’s easier. That is called summit works. If you’re barely surviving, always struggling, “How will I survive?”—you cannot live that way. From the start, decide: “I will do world missions.” Then it will all work. As I said in the first service, if you don’t know how to pray, it won’t happen. Lacking this (Introduction 3) blessing, this power, it won’t work. The cause lies here (Introduction 1). Because this isn’t resolved, power doesn’t arise. But you can do it. Do not fall into this (Introduction 1). May this week be a week of great strength, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. May Your work be fulfilled this week. Let us save the world this week by Your power. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

2025.07.27 Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: 2 Kings 6:8-19

---

This week’s Remnant Conference will make us the main figures of the Dothan Movement. This is because it contains content that Remnants absolutely must know. Let me ask you just one question. This is something even Japanese people should understand to some extent. Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol opposed shrine worship. That has been interpreted in various ways, but those interpretations are wrong. People are interpreting it however they want. How did the Japanese view it? “Why won’t you do what the government requires?” That was the question. From one perspective, their argument makes sense. Since Korea was a vassal state of Japan, they insisted Koreans should do as they said. And all religions complied. Buddhism, being familiar with bowing, complied quickly. Even the Korean church said, “Let’s do it.” So they did it. Why? Because they were under that law. Then why did Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol refuse? Because the General Assembly made a decision, so he fought against it? No. Because Japan forced it, so he fought? No. That’s not it. They even made a movie about it, but they made it wrong. Descendants hold commemorative events, but that wasn’t what Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol was about. It was because of the command found only in the Bible: “Do not worship idols.” It means we must not bring idols into the church and worship them.

▣ Introduction_ Spiritual flow
So, if you really want to be used by God, you must know the spiritual flow. Just being diligent doesn’t mean you’ll be used. There are people in the Bible who were used. Take a close look. If God has placed you in America, what should you really be seeing there? The spiritual flow. And if you truly want to save Japan, what must you look at? The spiritual flow. So why is it that only the Bible strictly forbids idol worship? Why not just do it? Buddhism says to do it. All religions tell you to do it. Why does the Bible alone forbid it?

1. Satan’s strategy of destruction
It’s Satan’s strategy of destruction. That’s why God forbids it. Shall I give you immediate evidence? Go home, place a towel somewhere, hang it on the wall, light a candle, and bow to it continually—you will experience the work of evil spirits. Is that an answer? No, it’s dangerous. That’s why you must not do it. If you make something and keep bowing to it, it will move. That’s the work of demons. Don’t shamans gain power when they perform their rituals? Yes, but that’s demonic power. The purpose is ultimately destruction. How? In very appealing language. In Eden: “You will be like God.” It starts with attractive words. Then it moves to: “If you receive a spirit, you will be like the Nephilim. Build the Tower of Babel and succeed.” That’s how destruction begins. But that doesn’t work forever, so it continues to drag you.

Where did the difference first appear? Acts 13—it starts with a shaman. You are led away. Then where do you go? To shamans, fortune-tellers—Acts 16. Then what? Make idols and bow to them—Acts 19. You end up continually dragged by Satan. You’re supposed to be led by God, but you’re being dragged by Satan—John 8:44. As a result, you fall ill in heart—Matthew 11:28. Then comes mental illness—Mark 5:1–10. Then physical illness—Acts 8:4–8. Then complete hell, even before you die—Luke 16:19–31. Even worse, it passes on to your children—Matthew 27:25. But it doesn’t end there.

In every age, Satan enters the heart of the king. Right? Evil spirits who hold powers, rulers, and authorities enter. They dominate the nations and tell them to bow to the idols of Egypt. Right? The Philistines bring out their representative, Goliath, and say, “Let’s fight in the name of the Philistine gods.” Then King Ahab marries Jezebel, who brings in idols from around the world. Right? He places 850 false prophets in the palace. The king of Babylon makes a giant idol and tells everyone to bow to it. Why? Because they don’t know this strategy of destruction. They think, “If we make everyone bow, we’ll gain political power.” That’s why they did it.

It’s the same. Japan was a superpower at that time. They took over a country and said, “Koreans must submit. Gather your spirit. Bow.” That’s why Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol said no. When did he say no? After hearing that, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Korea made a decision: “Bowing at the shrine is obeying national law. We have no reason to oppose. Okay.” They passed it. The person who passed it was Hong Taek-Gi. There are many schools in Busan with the character ‘Sung’ (성) in the name. The chairman of one such school, Pastor Kim Gil-Chang, took Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol to perform shrine worship. Right there, Pastor Ju Ki-Cheol said “No!” “We cannot do it. We cannot bow to idols.” That’s why he was arrested. You can imagine the rest. “Tell us the organization. Who is helping you? What group are you with?” They kept beating him, and he died. Was it over? No. God turned Korea into a nation of world missions.

So there was a misunderstanding. Even now, Satan’s strategy of destruction is coming to you persistently. If your eyes don’t open to this, you won’t see it. In America, the three organizations are fully active. You can’t win. There are a lot of people in America. When your kids go to America, they’ll all follow. I personally think Japan is more rational than America. Their belief is that all religions are the same. All spirits are the same. Is that true? That belief permeates everything. Then spiritual problems will come in like a flood. Who will stop it? In Korea, nearly 40% are suffering from depression or mental illness. Some make guns and shoot their own sons. What can’t a deranged person do? Killing spouses, parents—it’s happening. We are entering an age of mental illness. At such times, those who realize this are the ones who are used.

2. Exodus 5:1–12:46
“Moses, go offer the blood sacrifice. Tear down all the cultural darkness of Egypt.” That’s the ten plagues.

3. Idol-worshiping nations
This has happened in every era. Now let’s set that aside and look at today’s main passage. At some point, Israel turned into an idol-worshiping nation. King Ahab did not realize how dangerous idol worship was. The country turned into an idol nation. As you know, 850 false prophets were brought in, and the true prophets were killed. A man named Obadiah hid 100 prophets.

Mount Carmel
This is when the incident on Mount Carmel occurred. Elijah made a proposal: “Let’s determine whether the false prophets or we are true. Let’s face off on Mount Carmel.” King Ahab agreed. He couldn’t refuse. Who carried out the task? Obadiah, Elijah’s disciple and a servant of the king. So he conveyed the message: “Let’s see whose god is the true God.” The king couldn’t say no. That day, 850 false prophets were executed.

But the real problem wasn’t King Ahab—it was Jezebel, his wife. Through the king, she issued an order: “Capture Elijah immediately and execute him.” So Elijah fled. He was in a rush and ran until he collapsed. He collapsed under a broom tree. Under that broom tree, Elijah said, “God, I can’t do this anymore. I’ve done my best, but now death is approaching.” At that moment, God sent a special angel to give him strength. He was strengthened and walked for 40 days and nights. Where did he go?

Mount Horeb
He arrived at Mount Horeb. God did not speak through wind or earthquake, but through a gentle whisper. There, God gave Elijah important messages. First, “Do not be afraid; I will replace the king.” Second, “You are not alone—7,000 disciples remain.” Third, “Appoint Elisha. He will do important work.” It was then that Elisha was called.

[1 Kings 19:19–21]
This calling is found in verses 19–21. He burned all his farming equipment and followed. He removed any possibility of returning. As I mentioned last week, in the past, soldiers going to war would burn the ships they arrived in. Why? To say, “I will not retreat. I will either die or end this here.” Elisha’s movement was tremendous.

▣ Main point
1. 1 Kings 19:19–21 [Heavenly mandate]
First, the calling Elisha received on Mount Horeb in 1 Kings 19:19–21 was his heavenly mandate. What was the heavenly mandate?

1) 1 Kings 18:1–15
In 1 Kings 18:1–15, we see that during the crisis, a church leader named Obadiah hid 100 prophets. That changed the age.

2) 1 Kings 18:25–46
Then in 1 Kings 18:25–46, he faced off against the false prophets of Baal and Asherah and achieved complete spiritual victory.

3) 1 Kings 19:1–21
Then in 1 Kings 19:1–21, God led Elijah to Mount Horeb and gave him His word. At that time, Elisha was the one called. This is different. He was called in the greatest crisis. Not by calculation. He was called before the covenant of God. Would you go if it were you? It was dangerous. He could be arrested. The king had blocked the way. Yet he was called as a disciple and gave up everything to follow.

Our Remnants do not need other kinds of courage. You need courage to follow the Word. Don’t go around being stubborn—you’ll get beaten. Follow the Word. It’s hard. Why? Because it looks like a great loss to go that way. But he took it as his heavenly mandate. If it’s God’s plan, even if it seems disadvantageous, it becomes a heavenly mandate. Understand? Our Remnants from America, Japan, and advanced countries in Europe must open their spiritual eyes. If someone living in America doesn’t know the flow of America, how can they truly live there? That doesn’t make sense.

What about Europe now? Young people don’t even go to church anymore. It’s over. Drugs are no longer prosecuted. They’ve stopped cracking down. Why? Because they’d have to arrest everyone. Even the police would be arrested. It doesn’t work. It’s worse than that. A student asked, “Pastor, is homosexuality wrong?” It’s not a crime. It’s not a criminal act. But spiritually, it’s a problem. That must be made clear. It’s not a crime, but spiritually, it is a problem. It’s not that there are many homosexuals. In one European school, every student was homosexual. That’s an extreme case. The entire school. He wasn’t the only one. That’s the kind of era we’re in. But the spiritual flow is the same. Elisha made his resolution in that kind of time.

2. 2 Kings 2:9–11 [Calling]
The more important resolution is the second. What was it? The generation was finally changing, and Elisha was to be raised as a new leader. But people began to waver. Everyone started seeking their own interests and positions. They sought places like Gilgal, Jericho, Jordan, and Bethel. But there was one person who didn’t. That was Elisha. That’s what we call a calling.

1) No calculation
Elisha didn’t calculate anything.

2) No concern for position
Elisha didn’t care about his status.

3) Covenantal relationship
What was it? He entered a covenantal relationship with God. What did he say? “Let me receive a double portion of your spirit. I don’t need anything else. Just give me a double portion of your spirit.” He asked correctly. Elijah said, “You ask for a difficult thing. But do not give up—follow me to the end.” When they crossed the Jordan, a tremendous power was passed down. Calling. But that wasn’t the end.

3. 2 Kings 6:8–24 [Mission]
At last, the Dothan Movement arose. That’s called mission.

1) Advance answer (vv. 8–13)
To what extent was Elisha empowered? God gave answers in advance. This is important. When you pray, how does God give advance answers? Whenever the Aramean army came to invade, Elisha already knew where they would come from. Right? When they came in hiding to kill Israel, Elisha already knew. So the Aramean army kept failing. They held a meeting. “Is there a spy among us? How do they keep knowing where we’ll be?” They didn’t understand the concept of advance answer from God. But one wise servant spoke up: “No, there’s someone in Israel who sees all our movements.” “Who is it?” “Elisha.” “Where is he?” “In Dothan.” The king of Aram ordered, “Surround Dothan and capture Elisha alive. Don’t kill him—bring him here.” So the Aramean army surrounded Dothan. Chaos broke out. The servant came out and saw the place surrounded. But Elisha prayed, “Lord, open this servant’s eyes.” His spiritual eyes were opened, and he saw that the heavenly armies surrounded them—not a problem at all.

2) Background (vv. 14–16)
That’s verses 14 to 16. Your background. If you don’t believe it, then don’t. But I believe it. Can you believe that heavenly armies protect the places you go? I believe there is nothing else more important. Right? That wherever you and your children go, God sends heavenly armies to fulfill His plan—if you don’t believe that, throw out the Bible.

3) Victory without fighting (vv. 17–23)
And you know—they won without fighting. That’s verses 17 to 23. Elisha prayed, “Lord, strike the Aramean army with blindness.” He was a man of prayer. Their eyes went blind. He led them away while they were blind. They thought, “We’re finished.” Where did he take them? He led them to Samaria and had them sit down. Then Elisha prayed again, “Lord, open their eyes.” When their eyes opened, they thought they were at the execution ground—but there was a feast laid out. “Eat and go home.” That was it. Then the king asked Elisha something. Previously the king had belittled the prophet, but now he said, “Father! What should I do with them?” Elisha said, “Let them live.” And they were sent home. The Bible records: “They did not invade again.” Right? They won without fighting. That’s our Remnant.

▣ Conclusion_ [Strength]
Remnants must build strength. God has promised strength. He promised you will receive power. Let me put it in English for our Remnants.

1. Power
He promised this strength. Power. I mentioned this yesterday. There is an even greater strength.

2. Tacit
There’s a word: Tacit. Tacit Knowledge means a kind of strength that can’t be identified. You can’t explain it. Tacit Knowledge. There’s an even greater strength than this.

3. Authority
It is the strength that comes from above. You need this strength. God promised it. A strength that comes down from above. There’s an even greater strength.

4. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
So I created a song to help you understand:
Heavenly power, Heavenly mission.
Thronely power, Thronely talent, Thronely mission.
Eternaly power, Eternaly talent, Eternaly mission.
I purposely combined these three into one song. There is an even greater strength.

5. Trinity
The Triune God has promised to be with you invisibly. Never be shaken. Never be discouraged—no matter what. Just know one thing.

Joseph was falsely accused and sold into slavery. Is that failure? From your perspective, it may look like failure. But it’s not. He became a slave. Is that failure? No. He succeeded there—300%. What does that mean? He was falsely imprisoned. Was that a disaster? No. It was the place where he met politicians. One day, he became prime minister. Was that success? No. If you see things that way, you’ll never have proper faith. It was neither failure nor success. It was all about standing in the place of world evangelization. It’s all like that. Remnants must remember.

“My family situation is bad.” Who said that means you can’t make it? “I have no background.” Who said that means you’re nothing? That’s not in the Bible. “I have no one to help me.” Who said that? God promised to be with you to the end of the age. And no one can take that from you. He works through the Holy Spirit invisibly. Right now, while you’re worshiping, God sends heavenly armies to surround and protect you.

Even physically, it’s the same. I once went to a presidential inauguration. I arrived a day early and stayed at a hotel in Yeouido. The police came. They apologized. Why? “This room faces the direction of the inauguration. Could you please keep your curtains closed?” I said, “Of course. I’m attending the event too.” They said, “Oh, I see.” Then I realized—there were armed police and soldiers on every rooftop. Nothing could go wrong. That reminded me of today’s passage. God mobilizes heavenly armies around you. If this sounds like nonsense, say nothing. But if you hear it as truth, say amen.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Give new strength to our Remnants. Let them hear not the voice of man, but the Word of God. Physical eyes are important, but open their spiritual eyes. Raise them as the main figures to save this age. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

▣ Introduction_ Ask the question: The blessing and my portion to receive at WRC
Thank you. This week is the WRC, the World Remnant Conference. You must confirm what blessing you are to receive. You must ask what your portion is at WRC. Many people go in the wrong direction because they never ask that question. So, they often ask, “What should I do?” That’s why even our parents, when educating their children, say, “What are you going to do?” Then the child thinks, “What should I be doing?” It’s not necessarily a wrong question, but when it becomes too extreme, many children end up with spiritual problems. “You have to do something. What are you going to do?” That’s the level of things, even at school. Teachers also ask, “What are you going to do? What must you do?” You must be cautious of this.

1. What God prepared for David
In today’s text, what did God prepare for David? That’s the question you must ask. At the very least, from what I can see, it appears that David had seven things prepared for him for a crucial era and his entire life.
1) Preparation for the future (Psalm 78)
While he was still a shepherd, if you look at Psalm 78, God had already prepared him for the future. It says he called him from among those who tend sheep to become one who guards the nation. Already from childhood.
2) Experience of the covenant and power
Secondly, he met the high priest Samuel. From that point, he began to experience the covenant and power.
3) Timetable for breaking darkness
It doesn’t stop there. His father sent him on an errand. That’s when the timetable for breaking darkness was fulfilled. The errands you assign your children are actually meant to break the darkness. David broke down Goliath.
4) Morning and evening prayer (Psalm 5:3, 17:3)
From that point, he began to face suffering of a different dimension. But David did not view that as suffering. He even said, “In the morning, You hear my voice.”
Also in the fifth instance, he said, “You examine me at night.”
5) The Lord is my Shepherd (Psalm 23)
In a place of great pain, he confessed, “Because the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” He said, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” He definitely walked through that valley. That’s how he described it. But he said, “I will fear no harm.” “Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Even though I walk through the valley of death, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
6) The 1,000 bartizans
That’s not all. The sixth thing God prepared for David was that he finally built bartizans—1,000 of them.
7) Preparation of the temple to save the world
Lastly, He prepared David to build the temple that would save the world.

2. First pray to know what God’s plan is for your children.
What is God’s plan for our children? This is what we must first pray for. Why? Because they were born on this earth according to God’s plan. No matter what others say—even those who say they don’t believe in God—their lives are also taken by God.

3. 300% preparation (Psalm 78:70–72)
Then what is it that must be proclaimed to Remnants and prayed for during the WRC conference?
Psalm 78 speaks about David’s youth, doesn’t it? He was a shepherd at the time, and even in that youth, he was already 300% prepared. This is important. What does that mean?
1) 100% prayer
He was 100% prepared in prayer. How much did he pray while he was a shepherd? He had such spiritual power that when he praised, evil spirits fled. How much spiritual work occurred when young David prayed? The Bible tells us David wrote one-third of the Psalms. And if you look closely at what he wrote, you can clearly see that it was entirely within God’s Word. You can tell that the gospel concerning Christ was accurate.
Remnants must be armed with prayer as they go out.
2) 100% skill
That’s not all. He was also 100% prepared in skill, from a young age. How skilled was he? Why do I say 100%? Because he never lost a single sheep. You know, generally speaking, it’s possible to lose sheep. But he never lost even one. So much so that lions and bears came and snatched sheep away. But David was so skilled that he struck their vital points with a single blow. That’s no easy task. Isn’t that so? He was 100% skilled. He had prepared for this.
3) 100% future
That’s not all. Psalm 78:71 speaks of this. It shows that his preparation for the future was already 100% complete. This is what happens when you know the gospel and pray. This is what happens when you know prayer during your Remnant years.
What is truly heartbreaking is this: parents who do not teach these things to their children are very wicked parents. They will cause their children to suffer their entire lives. But it’s not too late. From an early age, they must know what the gospel and prayer are. They must study with that strength. Isn’t that right? What must happen then? The future must be prepared.

▣ Main message_ Standard
Then, as we pray during this WRC, we must ask: David was already 300% prepared from a young age—then how did he set the standard? There must be a standard, right? A standard.

1. Spiritual summit
First, David became a spiritual summit before entering the world. You must absolutely remember this. When our Remnants go out into the world, it’s already complicated. But he had become a spiritual summit. Although they’re young and cannot yet become presidents, spiritually they can. They can’t teach teachers or become kings, but spiritually, they are already kings.
While he was a shepherd, when others were wasting time, dozing off, being bored, he found everything there.
1) David, who was powerfully moved by the Spirit of the Lord after meeting Samuel
And he met the high priest. What does the Bible say? “From that day on”—that’s the phrase. After he met Samuel. “The Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” This is important. Our Remnants must first have this power. You must believe.
2) David, who became such a spiritual summit that evil spirits fled when he praised
Even more importantly, it was known that he was good at praise from a young age, so King Saul called David. He called him to praise. It seems David was also very gifted in music. He played and praised at the same time. And the evil spirit that had clung to King Saul fled. That means evil spirits fled when he praised.
3) Remnants who became spiritual summits before entering the world
All Remnants were like this. Every Remnant who moved the world had already become a spiritual summit before entering the world. You must firmly hold onto this.
(1) Joseph
So, regarding Joseph, an unbeliever said, “I have never seen anyone in whom is the Spirit of God like this man. Why not make him Prime Minister?” The king recommended him. Who could stop that? Then the king said, “You shall govern all my people. No one will lift a hand or foot without your word.” The king said this. And he added, “The only thing that makes me greater than you is that I sit on the throne.” That’s what the king said. There is no greater blessing than when unbelievers look at your children and say, “Wow, this is a person moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” Right? That must come first—then study.
(2) Samuel
“Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” That’s what was said.
(3) David
Already while he was a shepherd, he developed both spirituality and intellect. While he was a shepherd, he developed both faith and skill. While tending sheep, he learned how to save the nation. That’s what the records show.
(4) Elisha
Elisha said such a thing. Everyone else was saying the wrong things—you must be careful of that. Even the prophetic disciples, the seminary students, the ministers of the Lord—they all said the wrong things. Elisha was so certain that he said, “As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” He followed Elijah to the end, and eventually Elijah asked him a question and opened the way. “Why are you following me?” Elijah asked, knowing the answer. “What do you want?” Then Elisha answered, “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit.” That is this power. “Give me the power to become a spiritual summit.” Then there is nothing to fear. Even if problems come, it’s okay. Don’t try to resolve the problem within you. Just leave it. If you become a spiritual summit and gain spiritual power, the problems will disappear. Don’t try to eliminate them—they will disappear. If you truly receive the filling of the Holy Spirit, even your incompetence will flee.

2. Absolute bartizan
Second. What must you do? Through the church, our Remnants must discover the absolute bartizan. Right? Otherwise, it’s all in vain. Everything will be taken away, and you’ll end up serving the world’s errands.
1) The high priest Samuel who came to find David
This was something unthinkable at the time. The high priest Samuel came looking for David. This is the second key. Pastors must be people who can pray for the Remnants. Right? At the very least, they should feel, “Ah, I need to pray for this child.”
2) Samuel, who anointed David and spoke about the ark of the covenant, the covenant, and temple preparation
He came and anointed David. He must have explained the ark of the covenant. That’s what tormented Samuel the most, after all. He surely talked about temple preparation. There’s no need to even ask—he surely did.
3) David, who began to receive absolute power as the absolute bartizan was established
From that point, as the absolute bartizan was established in David, absolute power began to come. That’s only natural.
※ Resolution of the Remnant
So what resolution must the Remnants make? Everything must be resolved through worship. It’s obvious. All over the country and world, we see children who receive more answers than the adults, and we are surprised. These kids have a unique trait. You know the messages sent out from the headquarters? They don’t miss a single one. I was shocked. And they get top grades too. One Remnant—we didn’t even know who she was, but she was listening to all the messages. She became the youngest Asian professor in U.S. history. At a top university, too. That’s not easy. And she doesn’t even boast about it. She knows it’s by God’s grace. I met her father once. He’s a professor, and her mother is a doctor, I think. We had a meal together. Her father told me something. He was surprised when his daughter was a student—because she kept listening to the messages. That, he understood. But then she even put up a picture of some man in her room. Probably from a conference. That man was me. So the professor thought, “Ah.” It was our first time meeting. I told him, “Many disciples do that. They put up conference photos and pray.” No one told her, but she even sends scholarships to OMC. Kids like that—things just work out.
But when it doesn’t work, it’s because they keep doing the wrong things. Really. They don’t listen to the Word, and they forget everything. What’s worse? The Word doesn’t even go in. That’s no ordinary problem. Through this WRC, all of our Remnants must change their imprint. If you’re not able to hear the Word or pray, that’s spiritual desolation. It’s very serious. Isn’t that right? If it were soil, it’d be desolate land.
※ David, who discovered all the answers of life through Samuel
The Remnant who restores everything through worship. After meeting Samuel, David found all the answers of life.

3. Absolute journey
Third. What did David do? He discovered something important in the world—the path of the absolute journey.
1) Battle with Goliath
The first was the battle with Goliath. It was tremendous. And Goliath cursed Israel in the name of his own gods. He even said, “You who believe in the Lord, come out!” How insulting is that? Instead of saying, “Come fight me,” he said, “Come out, you who believe in the Lord.” No one went. They trembled. That’s when David realized why his father insisted he bring this and return with proof. We must be able to see the world like that. So David made the decision to fight Goliath. It wasn’t even a fight. David would beat Goliath a thousand out of a thousand times. He resolved it cleanly and swiftly. The whole world was stunned. From then on, hardships came, but it was fine.
2) The 1,000 bartizans that saved the world
What did he do out in the world? He established the 1,000 bartizans that would save the world. David did that. He was amazing.
3) Preparation of the temple that would save the world
And what did he do? He completed preparations for the temple where WRC would be possible—to save the world. You must bear this in mind. Our Remnants must grow up and restore churches that are closing their doors. Churches are closing everywhere. They must be restored. That is the Remnant’s mission. We must build churches for the 5,000 tribes. We must build schools for the 5,000 tribes. There are no schools. We must build many more in the future. Among African nations, Kenya is considered developed. Right? The capital of Kenya is Nairobi. I went to Nairobi. It’s the capital, after all. There, I was shocked. Kids walking around barefoot in the streets all day. There are no schools. Those kids don’t go to school. And this is the city center. Then the rest is even worse. I thought, “Wow, this is how they live.” I even wondered, “Why live at all?”
Then I went toward the Maasai tribe. There were no trees there. Why? They had all dried up and died. People lived in huts, and the doors were narrow. I asked, “Why are the doors so narrow?” They said it was to keep wild animals from entering while they slept. There was no water. Nothing else needs to be said. But as I was returning, I saw the face of a child. I don’t know how old he was—maybe 10. But he was just staring blankly at the sky, with no thought, no hope. Sitting there, like a soulless being. Alone. What must we do? What will happen to those kids? Didn’t we once live like that long ago?
Preparation of the temple that will save the world—this isn’t just about building a structure. You must realize a great mission.

▣ Conclusion_ David who overcame the wall
David ultimately had several walls. Remnants must overcome them well.
1. Loneliness
One wall was loneliness. In some sense, being sent to the mountain as a shepherd was incredibly lonely. That’s why many are attacked and killed by animals or fall into accidents. But David found all spiritual things there. Don’t try to create special moments—become a spiritual summit in the field, while studying, while living your life.
2. Brothers who blocked the gospel
David’s second wall was his brothers. They were ridiculous. They were just ordinary people. Ordinary people live like that—blocking the gospel. They didn’t even realize they were blocking it. When David said he’d fight Goliath, his brothers exploded in anger. “You’ve always been arrogant,” they said. “You’re an evil person.” Ridiculous, isn’t it? He said he’d fight Goliath. They should’ve asked, “Do you think you can?” But instead, they hurled insults. They already knew his skill. They should’ve asked, “Can you really do it?” But instead, they called him an evil person, and they were enraged. At that moment, David confessed, “Do you think I have no reason?” That’s how he overcame Goliath. You must overcome the wall.
3. King Saul
As David succeeded, he met his third wall—King Saul. One wall after another. But David was never shaken. Many soldiers and officials said, “King Saul is demon-possessed. He must be eliminated. He’s mentally unstable.” There was even a pastor who once said, “Hitler is a mad driver. We must remove him before he causes more damage.” Saul was a madman. When he had an episode, it was disastrous. People tried multiple times to kill him. But David said, “God does not want us to lay hands on the one He has anointed.” He protected him to the end. When he heard Saul had died, David wept. Here’s what’s ridiculous—one soldier ran to David, saying he had good news. “This is great news!” he said. “What is it?” “King Saul has died!” What did David do? He struck the man down with his sword. The same David, who was so loving and warm, struck him down. That man misunderstood—he thought David would rejoice. He thought, “Saul is dead, so David must be thrilled!” David completely overcame the wall of Saul.
4. Mistakes
After becoming king, David made mistakes too. When the prophet Nathan confronted him, David said, “I have sinned before God.” It may not have seemed serious before people, but before God, it was. “I have sinned before God.” He overcame that wall well. David had many such moments.
5. Absalom, officials, and Shimei
Later, Absalom and officials staged a rebellion. David overcame it well. Watching David in his final days, I realized even more: “Ah, that is David.” Corrupt officials fight for position. As David grew old, they tried to establish Absalom. That’s how the rebellion happened. David fled barefoot. While fleeing, he made one heartfelt request: “Do not kill my son Absalom. Spare him.” Then he fled. Absalom died in battle. As David was going, Shimei cursed him. One of the guards got angry and tried to kill him. But David’s true character was revealed. He told him not to. “God told him to do it. God is behind this. If my own son has betrayed me, how much more Shimei?” That was David’s vessel. God restored David. He made the nation firm and strong.
※ We must raise our Remnants as the ones God desires.
What kind of Remnants must we raise? The Remnants God desires. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this blessing will overflow upon you today. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Grant us this grace. Give us the strength You gave to David. Grant the absolute bartizan to the Remnants.
In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

Scripture Reading: Ps 78:70-72

Today, let us remain in place without moving around, because we are short on time. I will first give the Remnant lecture, then we’ll take a five-minute break, and after that, we’ll continue with the Core message. But how should our Remnants and our TCKs view this WRC? It is yours, so it is important.

▣ Introduction_ The future
First of all, you must gain strength. What kind of strength are we talking about?

1. Power
Power is what is needed to live in this world, so you must gain it. That includes physical strength as well. Don’t we all need strength? But there is a power even more important than this.

2. Tacit
There is a word “tacit.” What does it mean? It’s an invisible kind of power. That person seems to have a certain power. I can’t quite explain it, but they have it. This is important. While power (Power) is necessary, this power (Tacit) is even more important. But there is a power greater than even that.

3. Authority
This refers to power that comes from above. That is the power we are talking about. But even this is not the greatest.

4. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternaly
Heavenly Power. Thronely Power. Eternaly Power.
This is the power you need.

▣ Main message
Let us speak about David.

1. Psalm 78:70–72 [Fundamental]
We’ll see this again during the 1st Service tomorrow, but David already had fundamental power from his youth. He possessed this power as a young boy. When he was a shepherd, he was already engaging in praise, poetry, and prayer—things that others did not do. Spiritually, he had already become a summit. And he trained his skills. He honed his skills in protecting sheep. That’s how he was able to defeat Goliath. There were many who could throw stones back then. Most shepherds did. The important thing is in whose hand the stone lies. More precisely, the stone that David threw was used by God. That is what matters.

2. 1 Samuel 16:1–13 [Absolute bartizan]
What’s more important is the second point. What is it? He met the high priest Samuel. Samuel came and anointed David with oil and prayed for him. It was at this time that something important was passed down to him. He was able to establish the absolute bartizan. This is what you must do—gain fundamental strength and establish the absolute bartizan. Whether things go well or not doesn’t matter. You can even remain still. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.”

3. 1 Samuel 17:1–47 [Start of the absolute journey]
David didn’t just stop there. He encountered Goliath. You are already familiar with this story, so there’s no need for further explanation. It was the start of the absolute journey. Because he had the absolute bartizan, he could begin the absolute journey, and his first encounter was Goliath. If you hold onto this (fundamental) covenant at your age, this is what happens. If you don’t have this covenant, listening to sermons is meaningless. But if you do have it, the absolute bartizan is revealed as you listen.

What’s even more important is this: while others said a crisis had come, David didn’t see it as a crisis—it was a chance, an opportunity. That’s what matters. While everyone else was saying it was a disaster, David saw it as a chance.

For 40 days, in a valley called Elah, Goliath shouted at Israel. For 40 days. What did he say? He didn’t complicate things. He just asked for one person—someone who could defeat him. Let’s end it once and for all. “If I lose, take everything from our nation. If you lose, we’ll take everything.”
He was 6 cubits and a span tall—2.9 meters. He wore armor weighing 57kg. His spearhead alone was 7kg. And he shouted, demanding a fight.

David heard this on his way. He made a decision—to take Goliath down that day. He said to his brothers, “I will fight Goliath.” But they said, “Are you crazy?” They said, “You’re an evil and wicked person. You’ve always been a wicked one. You’re arrogant and evil.”
Isn’t that ridiculous? Who’s the truly wicked one? David responded to his brothers who rebuked him by saying, “Do you think I have no reason?”
Children who don’t amount to much rebel without cause. But those who will move the world rebel with a reason. So that message reached the king.

When the king saw David, of course, he thought, “What can a little boy like this do?” But this is what David said to King Saul: “The Lord delivered me from the paw of the lion and the bear. I believe He will deliver me from this one who defies the Lord.” He had greater faith than the adults. This is what a remnant is.

David ran toward Goliath. He didn’t just walk—he ran. When he stood before Goliath, Goliath mocked him, saying, “Am I a dog that you come at me with sticks?” That was Goliath’s final statement. David said this: “You come against me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord whom you defy.”
He said, “Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will prove that life is not in the sword, but in the hand of the Lord. I will prove to the whole world that the Lord is the one true God.” And that was the end of it.
That’s David’s story.

Now, did Goliath understand all that? It doesn’t matter.
David flung the stone, and it hit him dead on. Precisely. Goliath collapsed on the spot.
The Bible says, “David had no sword.” But he didn’t need one. He took the sword at Goliath’s waist, pulled it out, and cut off Goliath’s head.
This wasn’t a haphazard action—it was planned.
He took the head and brought it before the king.
And the whole world was thrown into an uproar.
That was the beginning of the absolute journey.

▣ Conclusion_ 1 Chronicles 29:10–14
David spent his life preparing the temple through prayer.
Before that, he established a thousand bartizans. David was truly remarkable.
How was he able to do all this?
That will be the topic of tomorrow’s 1st Service message.

There was a man named John Wanamaker in America. He was so poor that he worked as a clerk in a small shop. But Wanamaker had great faith. He greatly revived that shop. Eventually, the owner entrusted the store to Wanamaker, and he turned it into a large department store. Later, he pioneered the era of department stores across the United States.

Eventually, the President appointed Wanamaker as a cabinet minister. But Wanamaker declined, saying he could never miss Sunday worship under any circumstances. The President promised him, “No matter what, I will make sure you can worship.” So he became the Postmaster General. He left a historical legacy.

So don’t worry about what you must do in the future—even cleaning is fine. Just do the 300%.

▣ Introduction: So remnants must remember a few things from now on.

1. Enjoyment (Enjoy) Enjoyment. It’s often referred to as “enjoy,” but in some ways, I think “engagement” is also fitting. To what extent must you enjoy it? What exactly should you enjoy?

1) Bartizan (7 Bartizan) The bartizan—keep enjoying this through prayer.

2) Journey (7 Journey) 3) Guidepost (7 Guidepost) Continue enjoying the journey and the guidepost. When you do, it becomes 300%.

It’s not about “What should I do?” Just enjoy it. Enjoy these 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts.

– 300% If you’re doing this, the 300% naturally comes. There’s no need to do anything else.

When I wake up in the morning, I start with this prayer. By doing so in detail from the morning, I remain connected to this prayer all the way here. Always with exercise, always with breathing—this must be remembered.

2. Wait From then on, what is it? Waiting. You enjoy while you wait. What are you waiting for?

1) Throne – Trinity Wait for this power to be revealed. We truly need power, but we also need tacit power as I mentioned earlier. More than that, we need the power from above—authority. More importantly, we need this power. Even greater than this power is the presence of the Triune God. Wait for it.

2) Kingdom of God Then surely, the kingdom of God will come.

3) Affairs Then masterpieces are created. The work of God’s kingdom is fulfilled. This is what we are waiting for.

3. Challenge And then what? We challenge. We challenge when we see it—not when we don’t. What do we challenge? We challenge when there’s absolutely nothing. We challenge the impossible.

1) Transcendence With what kind of power? With this power of transcendence. Transcending time and space. Prayer transcends time and space. The power of the throne transcends time and space. Why? Because Satan, who does evil, also transcends time and space. So we must have this power to overcome.

2) 237-5000 From then on, challenge according to the 237–5000.

3) Unprecedented Then what comes to you? Unprecedented answers. There is an unprecedented answer that is only for you. Discover this. God has prepared something unprecedented for your work, your field, and your church.

▣ Main message

1. Babylon This is the first Sunday’s forum. It’s time to begin the forum now. These are the people of Babylon. They were once again taken captive to Babylon.

So what is the forum we must have here? For remnants, it is not about calculation. It is not about profit or loss. It is not about whether or not I receive answers. Always remember—remnants are in a covenant relationship with God. This must never be forgotten.

People always calculate. They think something will benefit them, but it doesn’t.

Now, look carefully at the Bible.

1) Daniel 1:8–9 Daniel 1:8–9. He resolved. He resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine. Why? Because he understood why they were taken captive. “What will happen if I do this?”—he had none of that. He made a resolution. Remnants must take note.

You lost while fighting? That’s not losing. You won while fighting? That’s not victory. Don’t think like an unbeliever with a narrow mind.

Joseph being sold? That wasn’t defeat. Joseph being falsely accused? That wasn’t defeat. Joseph becoming prime minister? That wasn’t success. You must have this perspective. Forum about it. What’s really your problem? Is it a real problem? With that vision, you won’t be able to save the world. You study so hard but can’t save anyone. Then what’s the point of studying? Don’t even go to school, just wander around. Right? Why do what won’t amount to anything? This is important.

2) Daniel 3:8–24 Who were they? The three young men. Taken captive from Israel and promoted to high positions. Kings of every nation create idols. They build idols and command people to bow. Ancient Rome made idols and commanded worship. Babylon did the same. Japan made shrines and forced worship—both Japanese and Koreans were forced to bow. Even pastors bowed. That’s how it was.

They were told to bow. But they didn’t. The king liked them very much, but they refused. The king summoned them, “Why didn’t you bow? Everyone else did. Just do it once.”

They replied, “O king, we do not need to defend ourselves in this matter.” The king was shocked. He felt mocked. He said it kindly, but they said they didn’t need to answer.

“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the LORD will deliver us.” What came after that was even more powerful: “Even if He does not, we will not bow to the idol.” Babylon was completely overturned.

3) Daniel 6:10–22 Daniel began to manifest incredible wisdom and power. Why? Because he always did three focused prayers. That’s all it takes. Through three-focused prayer, he gained historic wisdom.

How is this really working in me? Forum about it. Is it working? Why isn’t it? Forum. Am I gaining all power through prayer? If not, check yourself.

Because of this, they plotted against Daniel to kill him. That’s what politicians do. It’s okay. But what’s important is Daniel knew and did this: “As was his custom”—this is important—“he knelt toward Jerusalem and gave thanks and prayed.”

What happened? Daniel didn’t die. Even if he had, it’s okay.

4) Esther 4:1–16 Esther 4:1–16. Esther became queen. Her cousin Mordecai told her, “Don’t reveal that you are a Jew.” That was the secret. “Don’t reveal you’re a Jew.”

One day, a politician named Haman passed a law to exterminate the Jews. He set it in law. At that moment, Mordecai told Esther, “Go and speak up. Reveal that you are a Jew.”

Esther responded, “I will do so. If I perish, I perish.”

Evil Haman didn’t know two things. He used all his wicked cunning—yes, there are evil people like this, and they’re all demon-possessed, so they can’t be reasoned with. He tried to kill all the Jews because of Mordecai.

But he didn’t know two things. First, he didn’t know Esther was a Jew. Second, he didn’t know King Xerxes was infatuated with Esther—his favorite.

Esther was amazing. When she heard the news, she said, “Pray for me.” Not just pray, but “fast and pray.” Entering the palace without royal summons was punishable by death. If you brought food without permission? You’d be arrested. Show up without being called? That’s death. If summoned and you don’t come? Also death.

That’s what happened to Queen Vashti before her. She was summoned to the banquet and didn’t come. She was executed. So Esther said, “Fast for me. If I perish, I perish.” And she went to see the king, breaking the law.

What did the king do when he saw her? He raised his golden scepter. This scepter was only lifted during great national celebrations or when the entire kingdom honored the king.

But he lifted it at Esther. You know what that means. “Why have you come? What is it?” Unless it’s a major emergency, you can’t come like that.

“What is it? I’ll give you up to half my kingdom.”

Esther was a woman of great prayer and wisdom. If it were you, you’d probably blabber everything. But she said, “Let me prepare a banquet and invite you to dinner.”

This wasn’t just about food. The king understood. This meant she had something important to say. At the meal, he asked again, “What is it?”

Esther didn’t answer even then. She invited him again, and this time, “Please bring Haman with you.” Haman was elated. “The queen really understands people!” he thought. But really, it meant, “This is the end for you.”

At the second banquet, the king asked, “Now tell me. What is it?”

She said, “The Jews are about to be killed. It’s because of a lie made by one man. That man is Haman. And—I am a Jew.”

The king went mad. “How could this happen?” Scripture says he stepped out to collect his thoughts.

Haman, terrified, begged Esther for his life. As he grabbed her feet, the king reentered and saw it.

“Take him at once. Hang him on the gallows.”

This happened in Babylon—more specifically, in the Persian kingdom.

2. Jew
What is truly the problem with the Jews? Why did it come to this?

1) Gospel
The Jews have a completely mistaken gospel. Simply put, they didn’t know the gospel. Jews do not know the gospel. They don’t even know what original sin is. They keep talking about personal sins. Yes, personal sins must be repented of. But original sin? That doesn’t go away by repentance. Personal sins can be repented. But original sin requires God to save me. God must give me grace. “By grace you have been saved, through faith.”

So they don’t know what true blessing is. That’s why Jesus first taught them about blessing. “What you’re calling blessing isn’t blessing. The fact that your name is written in heaven—that’s real blessing. Being persecuted for that is blessing.” Not knowing this, they also didn’t know how to pray. They think prayer is asking for this and that. But Jesus said, “Don’t ask for all that. Your Father already knows. Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.” And at the end of times, Jesus again spoke about the kingdom of God.

2) Fake
Because they don’t know the gospel, they keep choosing counterfeits. It looks similar but it isn’t. That’s why they criticized Jesus for eating with tax collectors. They criticized Him for turning water into wine at the wedding in Cana. They criticized Him for healing someone on the Sabbath. That’s the problem with these so-called true Jews. They also misobserve the festivals. Pentecost and the Feast of Weeks are not about grain. It’s about the day of being filled with the Holy Spirit. Passover is not just about being freed from slavery. It describes the work of salvation. The Feast of Ingathering is not about barns—it explains the throne.

3) Church
So their problem is their Jewish church. There are three points listed here—do a forum about them. What did they say? “Why did you go to the house of Cornelius and eat with a Gentile?” That’s what they said—this was the church.

Do you know what Galatians 2 says? “Even if one is saved, they must still keep the Jewish law.” That was said by the church. It was said by Peter.

3. Apostle
Now even the apostles—yes, they also had issues. The apostles themselves had problems.

1) Acts 1:6–7
Jesus had just explained about the kingdom of God for 40 days. Then what did they ask? “Is this the time you will restore the kingdom to Israel?” Yes, it’s an important question. But Jesus said, “It’s not for you to know. That’s not what’s important now. You must receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. Then you’ll receive power and world evangelization will be fulfilled.”

2) Acts 11:1–18
As we said earlier, they should have said, “The Word of God has been fulfilled. The promise of Christ has been fulfilled.” But instead, “Why did you eat at a Gentile’s house?”

3) Galatians 2:11–20
As we already mentioned—this is it.

4. Antioch
At this time, God opened the Antioch age. God opened this age. Let’s look closely at how He did this.

1) Acts 11:1–18
This repeated event in Acts 11:1–18 was God shifting the movement.

2) Acts 11:19–30
It was at this time that God called Paul. It was at this time He opened the door for missions.

3) Start
This marked a new beginning. What began? God began using the Antioch church, called Paul, and the mission movement began.

5. Paul
At this time, God used a man named Paul. Since we know the content, we must now focus on the key point.

1) Acts 9:10
Paul and Saul are the same person. Where was Paul passing through? Damascus. Normally, evangelism happens through a person, right? But this time, Christ struck Paul directly with light. Where did that happen? Listen carefully—it’s not about the location. Near there was a man named Ananias. That’s where Paul was struck. Where you are—that’s how God works. He connected Paul to someone who could lead him.

2) Acts 9:15
God gave that person a very important message: “He is My chosen instrument to proclaim My name to the Israelites, the Gentiles, and their kings.”

3) Acts 11:25–26
That’s how Paul was led to the Antioch church. There, he met Barnabas.

▣ Conclusion
So remnants, in conclusion, you must always hold to these three things:

1. Daily
Daily—this is prayer that revives yourself. Daily prayer is prayer that revives me.

2. Every hour
Hourly—this is prayer that revives the field.

3. Every matter
Every matter—this is what creates the 300%.

Now, it’s time for you to make your resolution. When making a resolution, it must always be with the scattered disciples.

▣ Introduction: What We Must First Tell the Remnants

Thank you. Now, the World Remnant Conference is approaching. Globally, it is referred to as “WRC.” There are two things we must absolutely tell the remnants first. The covenant that enters at a young age becomes the power of their lifetime. Every hardship that follows afterward becomes a blessing. So, there are three things we must first tell the remnants. That is the introduction. What is the first thing we must tell them?

1. Remnants, do not worry about success. Become the spiritual summit first.

Remnants, do not worry about success. Become the spiritual summit first. That is already success. Spiritually, you have become a king. Spiritually, you have become a president. Not an actual king, but something higher—a spiritual king.

1) The person of praise and the person of prayer who possesses the sure covenant at a young age

At a young age, they possessed the mystery of prayer. They already had the sure covenant when they were young. They were a person of praise who could save countless people, to the extent that evil spirits would flee. They were a person of prayer.

2) The skill to defeat lions and bears

And how skilled were they? They had such tremendous ability that they defeated lions and bears.

3) Make 300% before graduating

Do not worry about success. Make 300%. Make it before graduating. That is what it means to be a remnant. There is no need to worry about such things.

2. Remnants, do not fear false accusations and persecution.

The second thing you must know first. When you go outside, tremendous illegality, false accusations, and suffering await you. You must be prepared.

1) King Saul possessed by an evil spirit – Wounds

After David defeated Goliath, news spread throughout the whole nation. But it didn’t end there. As David grew up, he continued to defeat the Philistines. As long as David existed, Goliath—the Philistines—could no longer invade. So King Saul appointed David as the commander of the army. Not only that, he made him his son-in-law—in today’s terms, he appointed him the Minister of Defense. At that time, the prince Jonathan took off his robe and gave it to David. He expressed his deep respect and love for David. He even gave him his sword and everything else. When David returned after victory, the whole nation went wild. Especially, people speak recklessly, right? The people went wild saying, “If Saul killed thousands, David killed ten thousands.” King Saul, who had no covenant, was pierced by this. He was deeply wounded. “What? I, the king, killed only thousands, and David ten thousands?” He was severely wounded. Originally, King Saul was already tormented by evil spirits. Hearing those words gave him a deep wound. There are many people like that. For example, if someone cuts you off on the road and swears at you, I usually just say, “I’m sorry.” There are too many insane people. Don’t fight. Some people cannot stand that and end up killing someone with a hammer. Who, in their right mind, would bash someone’s head with a hammer just because they cut them off? The problem was that King Saul became possessed by an evil spirit. He was seized by Satan. From that moment, all kinds of incidents began.

2) David who escaped numerous hardships and crises of death

What was the first thing that happened? While David was sitting, Saul threw a spear at him. David, being quick, dodged it. The spear stuck into the wall. That’s when David realized, “Ah, King Saul is trying to kill me.” So he fled the palace. He had a final farewell with Jonathan and ran away. But King Saul could not give up. People who are seized by darkness continue until death. They never give up.

So he made a second attempt. He called in soldiers. “Kill him while he’s sleeping at night.” He sent assassins. But someone told David about this. “Assassins will come to kill you tonight.” Who told him? Saul’s daughter, David’s wife, told him. “Run away.” So they made a human-shaped doll and laid it in bed while David escaped. Who can defeat armed soldiers? They barged in and stabbed what they thought was David sleeping, only to find out they had been tricked. From that point, David could not even stay at home anymore. He had to flee somewhere he could hide.

What did he do? He had to run to the mountains or fields or some remote area. Saul mobilized soldiers to hunt him down and kill him, so he fled. Imagine how anxious he must have been. In the midst of death, David said, “The valley of the shadow of death.” He hid in a cave. That cave was called “En Gedi.” He hid there. But Saul’s army was searching for David. It’s easy to say, but if you were in that situation, what would you do? During that time, King Saul entered the cave. Many people wonder, “Why did he go in there?” I think it was because it was hot, so he went in to rest. When you enter a cave from the outside, you can’t see anything. He didn’t know David was inside. Saul lay down and rested, while David hid in the cave. At that moment, David took a knife and cut off a corner of Saul’s robe.

※ The leisure of the remnant who cut the robe without killing the enemy

This is the leisure of the remnant. Amazing, isn’t it? He didn’t kill the king. He just cut the robe. He could have killed him since he was an enemy, but he only cut the robe. Our remnants need to learn this kind of leisure. When problems come, people are too anxious. But David had leisure. He cut the robe and waited. When Saul got up and left, David called out to him from behind. He called him “Father.” How shocked must Saul have been? To hear David’s voice coming from the cave! So Saul said, “Who are you? Is that you, David?” One-on-one, Saul could never defeat David. So David showed him the piece of the robe. “I did not kill you, Father.” Even though he cut his robe. Then Saul wept and said, “My son, I’m sorry. God will bless you.” But this man was too extreme. So he told his soldiers, “Let’s go back.”

But after a few days, he came back again. “We have to kill him.” So he dragged the army again to catch David. At that time, David was hiding in the mountains. At night, everyone has to sleep, right? So King Saul was resting, with bodyguards on both sides. The guards held swords and water bottles, protecting him. But they dozed off while keeping watch. During that time, David took the water bottle. Amazing. Later, he showed it to King Saul. It meant, “Let’s not fight.” Again, Saul was moved. But it’s no use. Once you’re caught by Satan, it’s hard to win.

Later, Saul came again, saying this time he really must kill David. David, realizing there was nowhere else to go, went to a priest. Saul found out and killed the priest and his followers.

David had nowhere else to go. Where did he go? Something unimaginable happened. He fled to the enemy nation—the Philistines. He asked for mercy. So the Philistines protected David. But David overheard someone talking nearby. What did they say? “Do you know who that is? That’s David, the one who defeated Goliath. He’s the one who killed our champion Goliath in a single blow. Recently, he defeated our army and became a commander. Now he has come here himself. This is a golden opportunity. We should kill him.” That’s what they said. Of course, that’s what the Philistines would say. David heard this. What did he do? He was as good as dead. At that moment, David acted like a complete fool. So you could say David was also good at acting. He drooled, smeared spit in his beard. Seeing this, the Philistine soldiers said, “We don’t need to kill him.” And so David escaped death again. He suffered countless hardships.

3. Remnants, do not worry about the future. There is a separate background.

Remnants, do not worry about success. Do not fear false accusations and persecution. Do not worry about the future. Why? Because there is a separate background.

1) The absolute bartizan of prayer

David already possessed the absolute bartizan of prayer when he was young, as a shepherd. If you have this, it’s enough.

2) The bartizan of power

When he fought Goliath, he had the bartizan of power.

3) The bartizan of the future

When he met Samuel, he already had the clear bartizan of the future. He could win.

We must tell this fact to the remnants.

▣ Main Point_ David’s confession of faith

Then briefly, let’s listen to David’s confession of faith in the main point.

※ Out loud prayer, memorizing much of the Word – confession of faith

If you know prayer, you know about praying out loud, right? It’s very important. If you know prayer and have the covenant, tremendous healing takes place in your brain during out loud prayer. So, people of confession and faith memorized much of the Word. Today, three great confessions of David come out here.

1. I lack nothing.

First, he said in the midst of hardship, “I lack nothing.” That was David’s confession. “I lack nothing. I don’t need anything more.” He confessed this in the midst of crisis. This is an amazing confession.

1) What King Saul, the officials, and the crowd sought, plotted, and calculated

“I don’t need what King Saul seeks. I don’t need what the officials keep plotting and making up. I don’t need what the crowd keeps calculating and watching for.” That was his first confession. This must become the confession of our remnants to succeed. There’s nothing more you need.

2) I am not going to succeed or become famous. I’m going to save those who have fallen.

We are not going to succeed or become famous. We are going to save the people who have fallen behind.

2. Because the Lord is my Shepherd

The second confession came out. What is it? “Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” He knew the way to be led by God.

1) Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear.

“Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” It’s not just words. He knows. “I am clearly walking through the valley of the shadow of death, but I will not fear.” He said, “Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” He knows about shepherds. He’s done it himself.

2) The Lord is my fortress, shield, refuge, King. The Lord will not abandon me.

He made many confessions. “The Lord is my fortress.” That’s where the words come from. “The Lord is my shield. The Lord is my refuge. The Lord is my King. Even if my parents abandon me, the Lord will not abandon me.” These are David’s confessions.

3) Your rod and your staff protect me

“Your rod and your staff protect me.” It’s the same thing. When you guide sheep, you use a rod, right? And you hit wild animals to protect them—that becomes the staff. It’s the same. God protects and guides you and the remnants.

3. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever

The third confession. “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” It is the confession of enjoying the background of the power of the throne. It’s amazing. “Even though I’m here now, I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” It’s an incredible confession.

1) Enjoying the throne, the kingdom, and His work (Psalms 103:20-22)

Enjoying the throne, the kingdom, and His work. You know what happens when the Kingdom of God comes, right? David confessed this in Psalms 103. In verse 20: “Bless the Lord, you His angels who excel in strength, who do His word.” In verse 21: “Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, you ministers of His, who do His pleasure.” In verse 22: “Bless the Lord, all His works, in all places of His dominion.” This is tremendous praise, prayer, and confession.

2) David who built 1,000 bartizans

Later, David built 1,000 bartizans.

3) David who built the eternal bartizan

And he built the eternal bartizan. He prepared for temple construction perfectly. Every hardship becomes a blessing.

▣ Conclusion

There are two things the remnants must hold onto.

1. Every covenant of the gospel becomes power, and every hardship becomes a blessing.

Every covenant becomes power. The covenant of the gospel becomes power. Then every hardship becomes a blessing.

2. Enjoy the happy blessing.

1) Daily (Psalms 5:3 morning, Psalms 17:3 night, Psalms 23:1 day)

As our elder prayed, David enjoyed the happy blessing daily. Psalms 5:3 says, “In the morning, You will hear my prayer.” Psalms 17:3 says, “You have tested me by night.” And in the day, he said, “The Lord is my Shepherd; I lack nothing.” That cannot be stopped. “It’s okay even if I die.” A person who says it’s okay to die cannot be stopped. He gave thanks even when facing death. Daniel. David also wrote many words of thanks—daily. Enjoy this happiness.

2) Every hour – you must gain strength.

Every hour. Did you hear our elder praying today? Every hour, you must gain strength.

3) In everything – find the 300% answer.

In everything, you must begin to find the 300% answer. You will win. Remnants can surely win. Do not worry about anything. Hold onto this covenant.

3. You must receive God’s blessing to the extent that you save world evangelization and the 5,000 tribes.

The overseas remnants you invited—this is not a small blessing, is it? When we built the RUTC, and when we raise remnants through OMC scholarships, most of it is done by Immanuel Church. We were number one in building the RUTC.

1) The church leader who saved Luther

I often remember when Elder Han Dong-Hoon introduced me to the house where Luther lived. One church leader saved Luther. He must have risked his life, right? At that time, you could not hide such things. But he hid him. I was so thankful. This is God’s work. When you enter this, that person is the one who is blessed.

2) The hospital and church built with mission offerings

A few weak people gathered and gave offerings. Because women in Korea were dying during childbirth, they built a small hospital. They couldn’t even climb the mountain village to give the offering. They built a church for the suffering people in our village. Do you think that is a small thing? Even what you did with such devotion last time is not a small thing.

3) The offerings of the 15 nations’ workers at the early church

The offering from the businesspeople of 15 nations at the early church was the beginning of world evangelization.

4) The Antioch Church

When famine came upon the world, God blessed the Antioch Church. They were blessed enough to help the Jerusalem Church and others.

Today, some of our elders came and said, “Offerings have decreased. They are giving less.” It’s true, overall, people doing business in Korea are struggling right now. So even the fact that you still give precious offerings is amazing. But we must pray. The moment I heard that, I said, “Alright. From next week, I will double my offering.”

We must do world evangelization. Of course, you must receive God’s blessing to the extent that you can save the 5,000 tribes. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will stand as witnesses in all the blessings that will come in the future.

Prayer. God, we thank You. The Remnant Conference is ahead. Please work so that the nations trapped in darkness may receive the light. They are in such difficulty. Help us to deliver spiritual strength to them. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

[Privilege]

There are three privileges given to you.

1. The privilege of the scattered ones

The privilege of the scattered ones. This word ‘scattered ones’ is a very important term. Isn’t this the remnant? The remaining ones. It is the most important term in the Bible after Christ. Sojourner. The remaining ones with the gospel. It is an extremely important term. The Bible uses it in the most important way.

2. The privilege of the spokesperson

Second, what is it for you? You interpreters and translators have the privilege of the spokesperson. You possess these three privileges. In Romans chapter 16 verses 21 and 22, Paul is delivering the message, but Tertius is the one writing it and conveying it. At the end, it says that. Paul says, “I greet you.” And, “So and so also greets you.” Paul tells him to write it. So Tertius writes it down. Since he’s the one writing, he added, “I, Tertius, also greet you.” Paul didn’t say that, but he wrote his own name himself. Because he was writing it. It is a privilege. It is tremendous.

3. The hidden privilege

And more importantly, as I mentioned earlier, you have the hidden privilege. The Word is proclaimed. This Word is surely fulfilled. So you are interpreting the messages of the evangelists who are proclaiming this Word. Simply put, Tertius was not proclaiming his own message but conveying the message Paul proclaimed. He received the same answer.

Today and tomorrow, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to receive the special grace of the three-day weekend age.

Let us pray.

Prayer. Let today be a day of great grace. Let it be a day of healing. Let the darkness be bound across the nation and the world. Let the light shine upon every place related to the people of the Lord. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

On Monday, I will give a special message to our interpreters and translators. Today, especially, church members across the nation and around the world must pray for the interpreters and translators, and you must also confirm the prayer you need to do.

「The disciple of only, uniqueness, and recreation」

You are this kind of disciple—the disciple of only, uniqueness, and recreation. Some may think they are not, but clearly this is prepared.

In the Bible, there are many people who received great answers without doing anything. They didn’t do anything. And it wasn’t a small answer, but a great answer. Some people do a lot of work and fall into trials, but these people did nothing.

Let me give just two examples. In the Old Testament, there is Rahab the prostitute. She did nothing. She just hid the spies who came. Of course, that is not a small thing. And she lied. She said they weren’t there when they were. The blessing Rahab received was tremendous. She truly received the answer that changed the world.

Another one is Theophilus. He did nothing. Luke the physician recorded the Bible and sent it to Theophilus. Theophilus was the one who received it. But the blessing that followed was enormous. Why is that?

▣ Introduction

[Plan (will)]

They are the ones inside God’s plan. No matter what anyone says, it will happen according to God’s will, so they are inside God’s plan. You must remember this.

[Direction]

They are people whose direction is aligned with God. They don’t do much, but their direction is right.

[Way]

And they are standing in the way that God desires.

[Goal]

And they have the same goal.

These people have no choice but to be greatly used. That is why our interpreters and translators must confirm this well. This is an incredible thing. We must check this once in a while.

[A church that only proclaims the gospel]

It is the church that God uses. Never be deceived. The church that only proclaims the gospel—God uses it. Everything else is just an excuse. It may sound right, but it’s an excuse. “But there are various other matters, aren’t there?” Yes, that’s true. But that is being deceived. Look at church history. Look at the Bible. If it is a church that only proclaims the gospel, you can surely win.

[Acts 9:15]

Another important thing is that if the pastor here is truly the one to be used for world evangelization, it is finished. You cannot get rid of Paul. If it is true.

[Acts 17:1, Acts 18:4, Acts 19:8]

Even more important is the third point. If you are the person who raises remnants, then world change will happen. You must always ask this question. It is not about whether our church is big or small. If it is a church that proclaims the gospel, no one can block it.

[Spokesperson]

So, on Monday, I will explain with two points.

What are the teams doing interpretation and translation? They are spokespeople.

What are they proclaiming? We will see that on Monday. It is something great. You are proclaiming.

If these three blessings are inside you, honestly, Jesus said, “Do not worry.” We keep worrying and being anxious, but the greatest disease, even greater than mental illness, is the disease of anxiety. That comes first and messes up the mind.

Paul, who was in great suffering, said this: “Do not be anxious about anything.” He said not to worry about anything. “With thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds.”

Satan knows there is only one way to touch you. Actually, he cannot touch you. But there is one way he can. “Cast all your anxiety on the Lord. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” He comes to the one who worries. Because that connects to unbelief, he touches you.

So there is no need to worry about anything. A person who truly has the gospel is different. There is no need to worry about the future. Why would you worry about the future? Remnants don’t need to worry about the future. If you are truly saved. Wherever you are, do it 300%. Whatever it is.

Joseph going as a slave—that wasn’t his main work. He went to clean—that wasn’t his talent. But he did it 300%. Then history happened. You don’t even need to worry about that.

▣ Main point

Then before we find the answer on Monday, there are three things you must remember.

1. Inside prayer – 24, 25, eternity

First, don’t work while praying—pray while working. It may sound like a simple phrase, but there is a huge difference. There are people who listen to the message inside prayer. There are people who give tomorrow’s worship inside prayer. That person will see something tremendous. It is completely different. It’s not about praying after an incident happens. You see the incident through prayer, inside prayer. It may look like nothing. You don’t pray after seeing people—you see people inside prayer.

This is called 24, 25, and eternity. Then you will see it. You will see 24. You will see God’s work. You will see recreation. So which of the three teams do you belong to?

1) Evangelist
Evangelist.

2) Messenger
Messenger who proclaims the message in various places.

3) Interpreter
You are included in this—interpreter. Isn’t this amazing?

2. Hidden answers

Second. You are the ones to receive hidden answers in hidden places. When we say hidden answers, people just think, “Ah, it’s an answer that’s invisible.” But that’s not all.

1) Romans 16:25

It is something God has kept hidden, not giving to anyone else, and He gives it to you. You are the one to receive this.

2) Romans 16:26

Also, in every place you go—it is important—wherever you go, for every work, there is something God has hidden to give to you.

3) Romans 16:27

More importantly, it is the future. Do not worry about the future at all. Should you not prepare anything? You are in prayer. There is no greater preparation than this. Then how do you prepare for the future? If you do this (main point 2), it is enough.

3. Eternal masterpiece

Then you will create an eternal masterpiece. What is evangelism and missions? It is leaving behind eternal blessings. What is the characteristic of the work you do for the Lord and for the church? It is leaving behind an eternal masterpiece. There is nothing eternal in the world. What is the content of dedicating to the church? It is leaving behind an eternal masterpiece.

1) Genesis 1:1-13

What kind of masterpiece is this? God created the heavens and the earth by His Word. You are leaving behind the masterpiece of creation that God gives.

2) Isaiah 40:6-8

Do you know what you interpreters and translators are doing? You are serving the Word. “Go to a high mountain and speak.” Why? So that others can see. “Go to the top of the roof and speak.” So that the people of the village can see. What should you say? “Say that the Word of the LORD stands forever.” This is the Word.

When you give tomorrow’s worship, don’t just attend. You must pray to see God’s absolute plan. This is the masterpiece you are making.

3) Hebrews 4:12

That’s not the end. The Word is alive and active. It penetrates even dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. That’s the body. The power of God’s Word can heal your body. The power of God’s Word can heal cancer. It can change things. It can bring life.

4) Ezekiel 37:1-11

“Can these dry bones live?” “Sovereign Lord, You alone know, and You alone can do it.” That’s what was said. “Prophesy to them.” That’s it. You don’t even need to speak your own words. Proclaim God’s Word.

5) John 1:1-14

What is this Word? The Word is God. The Word became flesh and came. That’s how great this is. God’s Word is different from human words.

▣ Conclusion – [Faith]

Today, for you to have great victory in tomorrow’s worship—when do you do that? Right now.

Right now. “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Up until now, I understood that part. According to your faith let it be done. But in Mark 11:24, it says, “Believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” This part I couldn’t understand. “I haven’t received it—believe that I have received it?” I didn’t receive it. I prayed about this for a long time. “I haven’t received it, but believe that I have?” But as I thought about it, my eyes opened. “Wait, isn’t the whole Bible like that?” The entire Bible is like that. “I have given you the land of Canaan.” Right? That was fulfilled. If you hold onto what God has spoken to you and believe it, it is fulfilled. “Ah, that’s why believe that you have received it.” That’s why this Word is tremendous. You are now serving this Word.

So I always say this. The conclusion is, I will end as the scattered disciple.

2025.07.19 Remnant and TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Acts 19:8

---

This is the mission preparation for remnants and our TCKs. Regardless of whether you are a new believer or a church leader, there are people who receive answers. Who will receive the answer?

▣ Introduction – The future

It is the person in whom the future has come. Joseph may look like just an ordinary person, but the future had already come to him. This is an incredible focus. According to that, God worked. Then what kind of future is the most important? This is what matters. What kind of future must come? The future that God will accomplish must come, but this is not easy to find. That is why actual answers do not come. If this future has come, to speak honestly, think about the people we met 30 years ago. In my case, I had nothing. There was nothing I did well. But I saw the important future. Answers kept coming.

[Throne]

Now we have arranged the terms, but this already existed. It originally existed. This is the conclusion that Jesus made.

1. Bartizan

So remnants must continuously set this bartizan. Here, God promised that the Triune God would work. He also said He would give power. For 40 days, He explained that the power of the throne would come. Then, Christ has already completed your past, present, and future, and He tells you to go. Right? He said He would perfectly give you the five powers. From the beginning, He promised to give you the power to overcome the one who holds the power of the air. He has already given you the future. He clearly gave you the CVDIP. And what is more important? The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age—all are prepared. It has no choice but to come.

2. Journey

With this, you go on the journey. Enjoy it continuously through prayer. There is a way that the Triune God accomplishes. Go that way. That is our journey. On the way, there are 10 secrets to overcome any situation. That is our journey. Right? Ten definite footholds. Five assurances that come down from the throne. You will not lose in any circumstance. You win without fighting. You change the flow. And you go to give the lifelong answer. Since we have already received it, we go to give that answer. If you cannot give the lifelong answer on the journey, you have failed. Right? If a believer comes to your church and you cannot give the lifelong answer, that is failure. So every journey is a camp. From that point on, something comes out.

3. Guidepost

The guidepost is established. A guidepost is established that many posterity can come to and see. That is the covenant of Calvary that has been completely fulfilled. The mission that no one can take away—Mount of Olives. You don’t need anything else. The true power—Mark’s upper room. Renewal that sees the age—Antioch. The start of missions completely led by the Holy Spirit—Asia. The turning point of life—Macedonia. Rome. That is what I’m talking about now.

Setting

You must completely set this (bartizan, journey, guidepost). If you continue with prayer, it becomes set. Then God’s future is inside you. Although it may sound unfortunate, the seven remnants had this. The future had come to them. Joseph’s brothers did not have a future. It had come to Joseph. So according to where Joseph moved, God started His work. It’s definite. Do not be deceived. If you are a definite evangelist, God is bound to work where you are.

▣ Main point

1. One nation

So the remnant will save one nation.

2. One culture

This is a bit different. You will save one culture.

3. One language

So you will save one language.

1. One nation

Saving one nation was already spoken of from the beginning. “All nations, all people, to the ends of the earth”—this is what was said. You must refer to three things here.

1) Politics
2) Economy
3) Society

Politics, economy, society—this is how you view it. No matter what anyone says, you must look at how much salary is received. Economy. And you must see how stable the society is. You decide based on this.

2. One culture

You must look at one culture. Paul spoke of citizenship. Right? You must see this.

1) Festival

Festivals—you must look closely.

2) National origin

To save a nation, you must look at the origin of that nation.

3) Religion

You must look carefully at religion. You will surely win.

In late 1987, I went into Yeongdo, so I analyzed Yeongdo. The churches were all small. But there was one thing that represented Yeongdo—that was Cheonrigyo. It represented Yeongdo. When the bus passed by, even if there was no church name at the bus stop, Cheonrigyo was there. It represented Yeongdo. When I looked, the land was about 2,000 pyeong (about 6,600 square meters). So I prayed to have more than 2,000 pyeong. I registered for three days at Cheonrigyo. Of course, I didn’t go at night, just during the day. I observed what they were doing. It was very interesting. For three days I attended Cheonrigyo and observed. It’s tempting to people. They give you a little booklet. Just reading it feels helpful. “If you think too much, your stomach will get sick. If you do this, that happens…” They wrote those kinds of things. “If you become impatient, your lungs will get sick…” All the things you must read are in there.

They always have rituals, and the people bring the things themselves. It’s very developed. It’s rational. Unlike us who buy things for events, they bring everything themselves. They offer everything themselves. Also, below, there’s a unique movement of Cheonrigyo. Inside the Cheonrigyo building, almost all of them have this. There’s a judo hall. So they kept trying to entice my son to join the judo hall, but my son didn’t go. Anyway, it exists.

The answer is simple. “Really? Even that nonsense gathers people, but the church doesn’t.” So I started Friday all-night prayer. Healing ministry. Just by listening to the Word, you are healed. Right? You don’t need to do strange things. When you pray in the name of Jesus Christ, demons are cast out. When you pray in the name of Jesus Christ, all things obey. Believe this. But people don’t believe. Our spirit must come alive, then the mind comes alive, and when the mind comes alive, the body lives.

Later I will talk about this, but one of the things I do every hour is exercise. You must exercise every hour. If you’re over 50 and you don’t exercise every hour, you will definitely collapse. At that time, it’s already a bit late. Any disease can come. You must do it every hour. You don’t need to sweat a lot.

So you must hold firmly to these three (festival, national origin, religion).

If you go to Japan, there are the twelve zodiac signs. I’ve been to three places—Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya. You can see all three (festival, national origin, religion). Almost everywhere there is a kendo hall. These people are ahead of us. Exercise is included. Japan is a great nation—only the gospel is missing.

(Main point 2) You must absolutely refer to this, especially the remnants.

3. One language

1) Basic – Korean, English

The basics are Korean and English. Remnants should prepare for this.

2) National language

Next is the national language of each country.

3) Regional language

Next, remnants can do this. There are regional languages. Even among the 5000 tribes, the languages have developed so that each region has a different language. You must take this into account. In some ways, one remnant is more prepared by God than 100 adults.

▣ Conclusion

1. Globalization (language)

Globalization—that’s language.

2. Specialization (work)

Specialization—that’s your job. Studying English is not specialization. That’s globalization.

3. Evangelization

Evangelization.

These three things you must do. For remnants, right now it’s enough to just decide in your heart. “Ah, that’s right.” Just decide in your heart. When you get older, even if you practice a lot, it’s hard to do well. But when you are a remnant, just realizing it is enough. This is a tremendous advantage. Why do even little children worship? There are little kids in the infant and toddler worship. Those kids go in within just a few seconds. But older grandmothers, even when they concentrate, they can’t enter easily. The kids go in while moving around. The younger they are, the more so.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that what God desires will be prepared for you. Let us pray.

Prayer. We give thanks and praise to God. Open our spiritual eyes so that we can do what God desires. Bless us so that our life can do what the Lord desires the most. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
