Scripture Reading: Exodus 15:22-27

---

Thank you. I once heard the testimony of an elder when I was serving as an associate pastor, and he was an elder back then. He said that while they were eating a meal as a family, someone suddenly pulled out a gun, shot it at the ceiling, and shouted, “God is dead.” His mother had such strong faith—her name was even Kang Ban-seok—that she was completely shocked. She looked at that man and said, “You, I will make you a cabinet minister, so wait.” That person is Kim Il-sung of North Korea. His original name was Kim Seong-ju. The elder was so shocked that he ran away from that place on the spot. The situation was so urgent that he could not bring a single coin; he fled only with the Bible and hymnbook he had been carrying at church and the account books he used as treasurer. From that moment on, he could never go back. So he began a business in South Korea and greatly succeeded in his work. But when Sunday came, all the business partners would do their transactions, meet company to company, eat together on Sunday, have fun, drink alcohol, and do everything among themselves. But this elder could not join them because he had to worship on Sunday. As he was praying, God gave him one clear answer. He said that his heart hurt so much because he kept worrying about what had become of the sons and daughters he had left behind in North Korea. So he started looking into the children of the employees and partners who were going around drinking. When he checked, he found that all their home lives were in complete disarray. So the elder decided to give scholarships to all those students. After some time passed, the employees came to realize this. They were moved by the elder. Because he was taking care of their children and helping them study, they were deeply touched. As he shared that story, he told the whole story of how he had lived.

What is the very first thing we must do when we go into society? Today God has shown this. During three days of traveling through the wilderness, they could not drink water. If you cannot drink water for three days, of course it is difficult. They were almost at the point of death. Then they arrived in a certain region and found water, but it was water they could not drink. So they named that place “Marah,” but it was water they could not drink. The people began to complain again. The Israelites were very good at complaining. As they complained again, Moses prayed, broke off a certain branch, and put it into the water as God commanded, and the water was restored. Then God spoke these words: “I am the LORD who heals you.”

– First test – “I am the LORD who heals you”
At the very first test He said, “I am the LORD who heals you.”

Now, this elder, even as he healed unbelievers, works arose. So in a certain sense, you do not even have to evangelize at your workplace. Even if you do not try to, if you are praying, they will come.

Their scars
Without you even realizing it, they will come and begin to lay out their scars before you. You must reach this level. They will knowingly come and speak. That is when healing begins.

Hidden spiritual sicknesses
Or, conversely, almost everyone has hidden spiritual sicknesses. You are healing this. It is very important. Most people will not say, as soon as they meet someone, “I have this kind of scar.” They do not say, “You know, I…” and immediately spill out their hidden scars as soon as they meet a person. So even inside the company, there are deacons who live their life of faith roughly, half-heartedly. But there is this one deacon who considers the life of faith as the first priority. Then, who will those people with these problems (scars, hidden spiritual sicknesses) seek out? They will not seek out someone who is skillful in society but half-hearted at church. Why? Because that person seems fake. They cannot lay out these things (scars, hidden spiritual sicknesses) before such a person. Evangelism is not difficult. Once this door opens, it keeps opening.

Right now, all the military missionaries are listening to the message. Those who have these scars or spiritual sicknesses are the ones going into the military. That is why the military field is so good. When they first come in, they are low-ranking soldiers, so it is easy to help them. You can see it the moment you look at them. No one else can help them, and so they commit suicide in the military. It is heartbreaking. And yet there are military chaplains and others inside the army.

I told you this before too, did I not? There was a deacon who evangelized a lot who applied to a large ironworks company, and he said this happened there. During the interview they asked, “Do you have something to say?” He replied, “I am a Christian. So if you will only let me rest on Sunday…” In the past, Sunday was not a universal day off. “If you let me rest on Sunday, I will work hard every other day.” The executives around him became angry. “Do you think this is a church? All right, get out.” So he failed. Right? That deacon was that kind of person. They did not even need to ask that, but he said it. At that time, the highest-ranking president said something. “Hey, but that person seems like a real believer in Jesus.” He expressed it that way. Everyone with these problems (scars, hidden spiritual sicknesses) knows. He later got a job there and did much evangelism. Everyone knew. They all have hidden scars. And worse, they also have diseases. For us to not be able to help this is nonsense. Right? This is the start of evangelism. Look carefully.

[ RT 7 ]
All of the 7 Remnants were like this. Joseph healed Egypt. Moses healed the Israelites. Samuel and David healed the nation wounded by Philistia. And the Remnants who were taken as captives healed those nations. You must absolutely keep this in mind. “I am the LORD who heals you.” You must absolutely keep this in mind. No one brings out their scars to just anyone. Why would they? They hide everything. When do they bring them out? When do I lay my scars before another person? “Ah, if I tell this person my story, they will be able to listen.” They bring it out to that person. That is why today’s text becomes a very important text. “I am the LORD who heals you.” And then He said this.

▣ Introduction_ 〔26〕 Egypt
In verse 26 He says, “I will heal you of all the diseases that were in Egypt.”

1. Slaves (spiritual state)
First of all, the very fact of having lived as slaves is itself a sickness. Their tremendous spiritual state is diseased.

2. Slave diseases
And because they had lived as slaves, they had real physical diseases that came from their life as slaves.

3. Slave mentality
More important than this is that they had a deeply rooted slave mentality, slave way of thinking. Whenever they were bored, they would drag it out again, saying, “Why did you bring us out of Egypt to here?” They kept speaking like this.

▣ Main_ 〔25〕 Test – 〔40 years〕
The covenant you must hold today is in verse 25 in the main part. Verse 25 says this: “God tested Israel.” It says that God tested Israel. You must always believe this while you are walking the wilderness path. What did He test?

1. Exodus [Passover]
“Did not God bring Israel out of Egypt?” This is what He is saying. When they came out, God performed ten great miracles, and as the Israelites were going forth He said, “Celebrate this Passover as a memorial.” Did He not do that? He is now testing this. God is.

1) Exodus 3:1-18
We easily lose hold of this. When the Israelites became slaves, God called Moses and said, “Go to offer the sacrifice of blood. I will be with you. I will be with you with a mighty hand.”

2) Ten miracles
He performed ten miracles.

3) Passover
And on the day they put the blood, they were set free and came out. “Did you forget this? Do not forget it as you go along the wilderness path.” He is testing this. And that is not all.

2. Red Sea experience
They experienced the Red Sea. God’s goal was nothing else. They had to travel the forty-year wilderness path. When He looked at them, Israel was not yet ready. God said He would test them.

1) Sea
God led Israel into the middle of the sea, in front of the sea. We heard this last week, did we not?

2) Egypt
And He brought the Egyptian army in after them. The Bible clearly records this. He brought them into the middle of the sea and caused the Egyptian soldiers to go in. He used their already hardened hearts. He is explaining how we are to interpret the suffering and tests we face. Even the power of Egypt’s idols is no problem. The Red Sea is no problem. God had brought the Israelites out, and in the course of forty years in the wilderness they had a tremendous path to walk. In your remaining life, there is something you must absolutely leave behind. The secret of those forty years is where that is contained.

3) Army
What happened at the Red Sea? God destroyed all the Egyptian army. And He brought Israel out. They had only just come out when they complained again. They had reason to complain. Why? Because there was no water. Whenever they were bored, they complained, saying, “We are going to die here because we have no water; what should we do?” Similar things will continue to appear in the future. Here there are two secrets. One is that this is the time when God is revealing something important. It is the time when God is discerning who will enter the land of Canaan. Two things. You must never be afraid of the tests you face. God says, “Did I not bring you out of Egypt? Did I not bring you through the Red Sea?”

3. Future [absolute condition]
Then what about the future? There is an absolute condition for God to lead them into the land of Canaan. Right? You must believe this. From now on, you must believe it and teach it to your children.

1) Absolute sovereignty
First, it is God’s absolute sovereignty. You must believe this. What does that mean? He is the God who rules over your life. Why are you Korean? God’s absolute sovereignty. You must not lose this. Why did the multiethnic people come here? God’s absolute sovereignty. Right? You must not lose this. Why am I in this church? God’s absolute sovereignty.

2) Absolute plan
Then why must we walk the wilderness path? God is leading us. God with absolute sovereignty is leading us. He sent us to Egypt for world missions; and now that the time has come, He brings us out and performs world evangelization in the land of Canaan. At that time you will see God’s absolute plan. This is the path you will walk in your remaining years.

3) Absolute covenant
At this time the absolute covenant that will be fulfilled appears. You must always believe. If not, you will be shaken constantly. Because they were shaken so much, they could not enter Canaan, and only those who had this faith entered.

4) Absolute journey
From that point on, the absolute journey appears.

5) Absolute goal
The land of Canaan and world evangelization are God’s plan. Absolute goal. Even if everyone says no, God’s plan for this place is to build the three courtyards and perform world evangelization. Right? Even if everyone in the wilderness complains, going to Canaan is God’s plan. As they walk the wilderness path, God is doing two things: He is teaching them the many things they are to enjoy in the future, and He is discerning them. And we must enter into this covenant. This is the core answer in this week’s message that you must always realize. Wherever you go, God is the God who heals. Even if you only believe this Word, you will be healed. “It will be done according to your faith.” It is answered exactly according to how you believe God’s Word.

▣ Conclusion
And something even more important. Moses put in the branch; whether it was some medicinal herb or simply God’s power, in any case, they lived by drinking that water.

1. Elim
They arrived at Elim.

2. Twelve springs
When they went there, there were twelve springs.

3. Seventy palm trees
And then farther on, there were seventy palm trees. Very good, is it not?
There were twelve springs and seventy palm trees. There they pitched their tents. Many people say that after passing through suffering, such happy days will come. That is not entirely wrong. But I do not see it that way.

1. Elim (great tree)
The word “Elim” means “great tree.”

2. Twelve springs (choice)
The number twelve is the number of choice.

3. Seventy palm trees (conquest)
The seventy palm trees are the number of the seventy elders and of great conquest. It is a number of great joy.
Today there is an important answer that you must realize here and then wait for next week’s message. “God tested you.” Why? Because He truly wants to give you something (the forty years). These (Elim, the twelve springs, the seventy palm trees) are only temporary. So those who study Exodus say that in order to receive answers, what must you do? Those who study Genesis say that the beginning of problems and the answers must all come out; if you do not know that, you cannot receive answers. Then what must you do to study Exodus? It is true that Israel came out of Egypt. But that is not true liberation.

[ Exodus from darkness ]
Look. We must be set free from here (darkness). I told the pastors this. It is no use coming out of Egypt. It is no use coming out of the wilderness. They were taken again by Philistia. Even if they win there, it is no use. They go again to Babylon. It is no use. It follows them. It follows again. What does this mean? At last week’s Tuesday meeting I said this to the pastors: “Pastors, how must we give the Word so that people receive answers?” The issue is not that Israel came out of Egypt. We must perform an exodus from darkness. We must come out of darkness. You must believe this. For you, it is finished. He has set you free from darkness. Colossians chapter 1 verse 13 says, “He will rescue you from the domain of darkness.” It is tremendous. As you read Exodus, prepare many things, but above all you must be liberated from darkness, and there is still much to prepare. If you are facing hardship, it means there is much to be prepared. Right?

Remnants must remember this. “Why is my family like this?” God has given you what is necessary. He has given you what you must experience. “But is it not a bit too difficult?” It is difficult if you fall into it. But if you do not fall into it, it becomes a stepping stone. So when people who lived hard lives in the countryside come into the city, those who fall into it just live like country bumpkins. But those who do not fall into it work well. Those people are the ones who succeed. If your parents are very poor, those who fall into that show strange tendencies. Right? But those who do not fall into it instead gain greater strength to save the world. Holding onto this answer this week, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to enjoy for one week the blessing of worshiping next Sunday as witnesses.

Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. In the midst of giving us many things, allow us to surely enjoy what You have prepared. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 15:19-21

▣ Introduction. Thank you.

1. The importance of praise
1) If there is no praise, worship becomes complete darkness
What would happen to our church if there were no worship department, transportation department, and praise department? Many departments are important, but there is nothing as important as the worship department and the praise department, because they allow us to worship with grace. What would happen if we offered today’s worship service with no praise?

So I request this as much as possible from every worship part: let us have praise and then go directly into the sermon. I am not giving a lecture. Because I am proclaiming the Word of God, we must give praise that glorifies God and then immediately deliver the message. Even now, if you look at each part, there are still extra comments thrown in like, “This message is going out to the whole world and so on…” That should be said first, and then after the praise, the sermon should begin.

If your hymn and the praise we just heard were not there, worship would become complete darkness.

2) Ezekiel 28 – The fall of the angel who praised God → shaking the world with music
In Ezekiel chapter 28, the angel who used to praise God fell. So Satan shook the whole world with music. You roughly know this. Right now there is nothing like music when it comes to shaking the world. The reason we go and shake the United States, Japan, and Europe is because of the Korean Wave—songs.

3) Praise moves the throne of the LORD. Healing takes place. Praise is a special prayer that changes my life.
So today we must hold a special covenant and, through hymns, move the throne of the LORD, and also experience healing through praise. Praise is a special prayer that changes my life.
(1) Crosby, who, in extreme circumstances, held onto the gospel and discovered hymns
That is what Crosby did. In an extreme situation where no one could help her, she held onto the gospel and discovered hymns.
(2) If personal worship and public worship are restored → you will receive answers like David, Paul, and Luther, who were people of praise
What would happen if your personal worship is restored and public worship is restored? You will surely receive answers like David. David was a man of praise. You will receive answers like Paul. Contrary to what you might think, Paul was a man of praise. You will receive answers like Martin Luther. Luther was a man of praise. So this week we must hold onto an amazing covenant and think deeply about it.

2. The restoration of hymns is the restoration of worship
We have almost lost our hymns. These days on Sundays, when we worship, the CCTV is watching you. Because of this, your image is exposed worldwide, one by one. If at that moment you are picking your nose or something, it all gets caught. But if you look, there is one common thing: men do not sing praise. Usually, you cannot tell whether they are singing or just waiting. But when you look at those who properly praise, there are some men, but most of them are women. That is why women live longer than men. And children—when you look at them, they clap and praise like this. Also, when you go to special gatherings—these are not regular worship services but conferences—men sing even less than women, and there is a group that sings even less than men. Who would that be? The pastors. They sit like this (arms crossed) during praise. They sit there as if they are angry. So I thought, “Ah, that must be what people mean when they say someone has grown old.”

We must restore hymns. Honestly, I confess this in good conscience: in the past, when I used to drive alone, before I had secretaries, there was a time when I drove myself. In one sense, that can be comfortable, because I was alone. There are so many wonderful songs. There are classical pieces. The Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Bolshoi Choir—when I listen, they are incredible. And there are many good pop songs and secular songs. So after finishing a conference, I would need a bit of rest, having finished something big, and then I would drive home. I would drive slowly. If it takes someone else one hour, it would take me two or three hours. Just slowly. That itself was a rest for me.

The problem was what I turned on in the car. What do you think I played? In that precious time, that rest time, I confess honestly that I never played hymns. Hymns did not feel fitting for that atmosphere. I listened to pop songs that fit the mood, or important classical music. Even I, who was traveling around doing world evangelization and evangelism movement, was like that.

Then one day, even after listening to all that good music, something was missing. It should have quenched my thirst like water, but rather it made me more thirsty. So I said to myself, “Ah… I must restore set-time worship.” So, when I finished and was going or coming, or when I woke up in the morning and headed out—how good is that time? I would think about one passage of the Word and offer set-time worship alone, and that was when I began to sing hymns. And I realized, “Wow!” No song could compare with that. Then I understood, “When this worship is restored, that is when hymns are restored.”

3. Praise that leaves an amazing memorial – The praise of Moses and Miriam after crossing the Red Sea
Even if we leave everything else aside, today’s title is “The Praise of Moses and Miriam,” and it is the praise they sang after crossing the Red Sea. This praise leaves an amazing memorial. Why? Because they had crossed the Red Sea.

Long ago, there was a man named Yun Geuk-yeong. He has passed away now. He composed many songs—around 600. He left many songs, but among them is one everyone knows, “Half Moon (반달).” “Across the blue sky, the Milky Way, and the white small boat…” It describes what you see in Japan, and he turned it into a song. Another one is, “Shall we go to the sea to catch fish? Shall we go to the river to catch fish?”—a children’s song. All of that was written by Yun Geuk-yeong.

What happened once he composed these songs? They continued to be passed down. Up until Korea’s liberation, they were passed on, and even after liberation, they continued. Children sing them in elementary school. That is why I compose a remnant song every year. I turn the lyrics into song.

▣ Main. What happens when we praise

So, today we must at least keep this in our hearts once and restore it.

1. When you praise, the blessing of the throne comes upon you and glory returns to God.
That is the first point. What happens when we restore praise? The blessing of the throne comes upon us and glory returns to God.
1) Psalms 22:3 – The LORD who is enthroned on the praises of Israel
In Psalms 22:3 it says, “Yet You are holy, You who are enthroned on the praises of Israel.”
2) Psalms 150:1–6 – Let everything that has breath praise the LORD
In Psalms 150 verses 1–6 it says, “Let everything that has breath praise the LORD.”
3) Ezekiel 28 – Restore the praise that was stolen when the angel in charge of music fell
In Ezekiel chapter 28, when the angel in charge of music fell, praise was stolen away. We must restore that praise.
4) Praise that moved the power of the throne
(1) David’s praise – Psalms
Psalms has around 150 psalms, right? About one-third are by David. All of those are David’s praises. It is tremendous. They moved the world. They moved the power of the throne.
(2) Paul’s praise – In prison
Paul was in prison, a very painful place. What did he do there? He offered worship and praise. A miracle took place.
Therefore, we must really praise. Of course the choir must do well, but you must also praise well. It is a tremendous time, so we must pray for the choir. Their praise, in God’s eyes, is no ordinary praise. Right?
(3) The praise of Moses and Miriam (Exodus chapter 15)
“In the LORD is my strength and my defense and my salvation; He is my God, and I will praise Him”—that is in verse 2. We did not read it all today, but it says, “I will exalt and praise my father’s God.” These are Moses’ words in verse 2. “He hurled the chariots and army and commanders into the Red Sea”—that is in verses 4–6. We did not read all of it today, but it says, “At the blast of the LORD’s nostrils the waters piled up.” It says, “At the breath of the LORD’s nostrils, the surging waters stood up like a wall.” Verse 8 records this. “Who among the gods is like You, LORD? Who can perform such mighty wonders?”—that is the idea in verse 12. Then they say something important: “The nations will fear the LORD.” That is in verses 14–15. The passage we read today is Miriam’s praise—his older sister.

When you praise, the throne moves through the most amazing kind of prayer, and the work of establishing the kingdom of God takes place.

2. When you praise, darkness is broken, healing takes place, and God’s power is transmitted.
Second, what happens when we praise?
1) When you praise, darkness is broken.
When we praise, not only does glory return to God, but darkness is broken. You must absolutely remember this.

You have heard the phrase “four-sided siege” (사면초가), right? It refers to when all four sides are blocked. “There is nowhere to go, nowhere to turn.” When completely surrounded, people say “사면초가.” Why did that phrase arise? It came from a war between the Han kingdom and the Chu kingdom in ancient China. Han won. That is why we call Chinese characters “Hanja” (漢字)—“the writing of Han.” If Chu had won, we might call them “Choja” (楚字). Han won, and then Han completely surrounded Chu. All that was left was death. “End them now.”

But how did Han make Chu surrender? They completely surrounded them and blocked all four sides, leaving them no place to go. At that time, the Han soldiers began to sing the songs of Chu. Those songs were called “Choga” (楚歌). So, from all four sides came the songs of Chu—hence “사면초가,” “four sides filled with the songs of Chu.” The Han soldiers were clever. They wanted to reduce the killing and make them surrender. As they kept hearing their own songs from the enemy, the Chu soldiers’ hearts melted, and they surrendered. That is where the phrase “사면초가” came from.

When we praise, the forces of darkness melt away. How important is this? That is praise. Restore praise. From today, praise properly. We must restore praise.

Also, there is the kingdom of this world, the kingdom of Satan, and the kingdom of God.

2) When you praise, because the background of the throne and the work of the kingdom of God are established, healing power comes upon you.
Furthermore, what happens to us? When we praise, healing power appears. This healing power comes to us as the background of the throne and as the work of the kingdom of God, so tremendous works of healing arise.

3) God’s power is transmitted to others and to the next generation.
And not only that. Through praise, God’s power is transmitted to other people and to the next generation. The best way to transmit something is through song. Right? The best way is praise. That is why, when Korea resisted Japan long ago, they composed songs and sang them continuously.

So praise is what moves the throne of God—that is the first point. Second, praise is what breaks darkness, heals us, and revives the next generation.

3. God used the people and the churches that restored praise.
Third and last: God used the people who restored praise. God used the churches that restored praise. Look carefully in the Bible.

1) The people of praise God used – David, Paul, Martin Luther
Among all the many kings, God used David. David’s desire was to build the temple and have a vast choir of tens of thousands praising the LORD. That was his prayer. It was that way in every age.

Paul was truly a man of praise. He often used the word “praise.” “Praise be to the God and Father…” David also said, “Let us praise the LORD.”

You know what happened with Martin Luther, the man who led the Reformation. Because the Roman Catholic Church emphasized works so heavily, even now they emphasize works. As they kept emphasizing works, what happened? The gospel disappeared. That is how people are. If you keep emphasizing works, the gospel becomes unnecessary. Then wars and disasters arise all over the world. At that time, Martin Luther declared, “We are saved by the gospel. We are saved by believing in Jesus Christ. This salvation, this gospel, is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. The righteous shall live by faith.”

When he said this, the religious institution—today’s Roman Catholic Church—used its legal power. They sentenced Luther to death. But people still do not know who it was that kidnapped Luther while he was in transit and took him to a safe place. Someone captured him in the middle of his transfer and brought him to a castle. I went there with Elder Han Dong-hoon and Deaconess Lee Eun-suk as guides. Elder Han showed me, “This is where Luther stood and was tried.” It was quite moving. “Ah, so it was here.” But since he was kidnapped while being moved, no one knew where he had gone. They had put him in a castle. We also went to that castle.

What did he do there? A remarkable work took place. He translated the Word of God so that people could read it. During the day he disguised himself as a hunter, and at night he translated the Bible. Do you think Satan stayed still? He kept attacking. Luther was under such spiritual attack that he once threw his inkwell at the devil. Of course, the devil did not get hit—the ink splattered on the wall. That was the level of spiritual battle.

Even then, it was not enough. So Luther prayed and wrote the hymn, “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, a bulwark never failing.” It means his musical level was not ordinary. With that praise and prayer, he overcame Satan. He completed the translation of the Bible there, and the world was turned upside down. The light of the gospel shone to the entire world.

I asked the elder, “We learned in school that he threw an inkwell at the wall, but I don’t see the stain.” He replied, “A thief stole that piece of the wall.” “Ah, I see.” He said even the table had been stolen, and they replaced it with another.

2) The music war – Will we collapse the world with music or save the world with music?
Now it is a music war. Will we bring down the world with music, or will we save the world with music?
(1) Pray that praise may be done properly, and give offerings dedicated only to the choir.
This is what I hope. Among our remnants, if any of you decide to earn money, then pray and give offerings dedicated only to the choir. Since we budget for the entire year as a whole, we cannot set the whole budget only for the choir. Our choir members labor so much, but we cannot adequately compensate them. Right? Our conductors also serve so sacrificially, but we only give them a little for transportation or similar. It is like that now. We must prepare in such a way that great teams can gather and truly praise. Right? That is not the conductor’s fault or the choir’s fault. It is our fault. So we must pray that praise can be done properly. Since people like to hear about money, I am saying, “Give offerings.”
(2) The churches in Europe that died because praise and worship died – In every age, praise has saved the world.
You will see this if you check. In Europe, there were people who gave all their possessions and said, “Use this only for praise, not for anything else.” So they built tremendous venues. At that time, in Europe, if there was a certain church that did a certain praise, people would say, “Let’s go there.” That was the culture. But as that praise died and worship died, the churches in Europe died. There is no gospel. In each age, praise has saved the world. We must pray.
(3) Restore with prayer the praise that Satan has stolen.
There are amazing musicians among us, but they are holding back. We cannot even provide a setting for them to present one piece. Our next generation is growing up. They should be standing on great stages and performing, but there is no opportunity. So praise has been taken away. Satan has stolen praise. We must restore it. We must restore it through prayer.

▣ Conclusion. Healing takes place through praise (Psalms 103:20–22).
David said this: “Praise the LORD, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His word.” “Praise the LORD, all His heavenly hosts, you His servants who do His will.” It is true. Healing takes place through praise.

I have seen this personally—once through video and once with my own eyes. There was a man with cancer. The cancer had spread to other parts of his body. The doctors said there was no hope. Since there was no hope in the hospital, he left. “You may only be able to endure a few months,” the doctors had said. He left the hospital and went to the mountains alone. He walked the mountains barefoot, went to clean places, and ate good herbs. He stayed there. Even in that place he stayed barefoot. He completely recovered. It is natural. As he breathed fresh air and walked barefoot constantly, he was continually reviving his body. The cancer cells attacked, but he kept reviving his system, so there was a battle and he won.

In my days as an evangelist, there was a place called “Mucheoksan Prayer House” near Gimhae in Busan. The mountain is called Mucheoksan, and an elderly woman ran the prayer house. There was not even a proper path to go up; we had to walk up. Why did I go? Because I heard that patients were getting healed and coming back down. I thought, “That is interesting. Let me go see.” When I went, I saw that it was very biblical and very medical. She was an elderly woman, and what did she do with the patients? She prayed and sang hymns with them all day long. All day long she sang hymns and prayed, clapping her hands like this. What do you think happened? After a few months, they were healed and went back. Their nervous system and body were being revived. So I thought, “Ah, of course.” They were praying and singing hymns. Such things happen. But I also thought, “That director is amazing,” because she stayed with one patient like that all day. That is truly remarkable.

※ Restoring prayer and praise becomes the most important power for us. When we go into the deep place of praise and prayer, God does the rest.
For us, restoring prayer and praise becomes our greatest power. We must restore them. When you praise, you call out to God. You express your desires. You can praise when you are alone. Then you change the world. Even if you do not go that far, there is much time for praise on Sundays, right? The choir sings, but there is also a lot of time when you sing hymns. If you just do that properly, it is enough. Then, in the remaining time, go into the deep place of prayer. As for your future, there is nothing more to say. If you go deeply into the praise and prayer that God gives, then He will take care of the rest.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the beginning of a great victory.

Prayer. We give glory and praise to God. We give thanks. Help us to restore prayer. Help us to restore praise. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 14:1-14

---

“The LORD will fight for you.” There is no power stronger than God, so, “The LORD will fight for you.” It is a passage we know very well, but we may misunderstand it.

▣ Introduction
The very first thing we must know is that God led the Israelites to the Red Sea even though there were many good roads He could have taken them on. This is very important. In verses 1 and 2, God led them there. The great hardships that come to you are brought by God. It is not that God lacked the power to block them; He brought them in order to give you what is truly real. So in front of the sea, the Red Sea was blocking their way. Knowing this, the Egyptian army came after them. There were 600 chariots, and then all the other horses and charioteers were fully mobilized. They were coming to kill the Israelites. What could they do? It was truly a dead-end situation. If they went back, they would be killed by the Egyptians; if they went forward, they would drown in the water. They were in such a situation. But who led them to the Red Sea? The LORD did. You must remember this. It was to give them what is truly real. We keep thinking in the wrong way: “We have met this kind of crisis—what should we do?”

1. A dead-end situation
So at this time, it became a complete dead-end. They could neither go forward nor backward. At this time, two kinds of people appeared. As it says in today’s passage, most people grumbled. They said everything they wanted to say. “Why did you bring us here?” In other words, “We are suffering like this because we chose the wrong leader.” When in fact, God had brought them there. So while such a reaction arose, there was also a small number of people who prayed. There is no such thing as a dead-end situation.

2. Only one way
For us, there is only one way. We must cross the Red Sea. If we cannot cross it, we must die there. It is “do or die.” Right? God’s plan does not change. It was there that they grumbled, trying desperately to stay alive. In the end, those people could not enter Canaan. The ones who were newly born and the ones who held the covenant all went in.

3. The miracle – a bonus
So, as you know, God performed the miracle of parting the Red Sea. He let Israel cross. So this path where they experienced the Red Sea was, for the Israelites, a bonus path. It sounds easy in words, but if you are actually in that situation, it is almost like death. In fact, it is the same for Busan, for our Ulsan, for Changwon, and also for Imse. Many buildings are being constructed. We must have the faith to cross the Red Sea. Right? It is not a simple matter. At the Red Sea the question is, “Will you die or live?” Then the answer is simple. “Will you die, or will you build the temple?” Then we say, “Oh, we will build the temple,” and the blessings overflow. “Will you die, or drown in the Red Sea, or live?” Simply put, God is leading us in such a way. There are three reasons.

[ Egypt ] He would completely destroy the Egyptian army. Right? They had to all be drowned and killed.

[ Faith ] What else? He would plant faith in the Israelites. Since this tremendous, actual event took place, what do you think happened?

[ Reputation ] This news spread throughout the whole land. In this way, God had already begun. This is very important for us.

▣ Main
We must truly receive answers. We must have the faith to cross the Red Sea. But what is even more important is in the main point. In verse 1, God said, “Go there.” “Go to the Red Sea. Set up camp there.” Then in verses 3 and 4, God hardened Pharaoh’s heart. “Go attack Israel.” This is the right answer. Without Israel knowing at all, God led them to the Red Sea in order to give them true grace. And to punish the wicked to the very end, God drove them to the Red Sea. Moses knew this and spoke boldly. Moses understood this. He spoke boldly: “Stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The LORD will fight for you.” Why was that?

1. The covenant – The promise (Exodus–Canaan) First, God’s covenant does not change. It is God’s promise. When He gives the covenant to us, it becomes a promise. The Exodus and the entry into Canaan are God’s absolute plan. Building the three courtyards in Ulsan, Changwon, Busan, and Seoul for evangelism is God’s absolute plan.

1) Vision – Exodus 3:8, 2:1–10, 3:18–20 Already here, what did God give in advance? He gave the covenant as a vision. When He called Moses at Horeb, in Exodus 3:8, what did He say? “I will give you the land of Canaan.” That is it, right? When He first called Moses at Horeb, He said, “I have seen the misery of My people Israel,” and He promised, “I will give that land to you.” Moses knew this. Even before this, in Exodus 2:10, Moses had already heard something from his mother. It matched exactly. As she nursed him and finally sent him away, his mother said, “You must save Israel.” At that time, God said, “Go and offer the blood sacrifice. I will be with you with a mighty hand.”

2) Before the event He gave it before the event. In verse 1, “Then the LORD said to Moses…” He gave it in advance. Then in verse 2, what does He say? “Set up camp at such-and-such place.” He said it. That place was right in front of the Red Sea. Then in verse 4 He says, “I will harden Pharaoh’s heart so he will pursue them.” God’s amazing plan lay inside this. In the situation where you think you must panic, God’s amazing plan of blessing is contained. For unbelievers, it is a place of death. They are anxious. For God’s chosen people, it is a place of life. Right? The flood of Noah’s day was an event of death for those who were not God’s children. But for those who entered the ark, they lived because of the flood. Some people died because of the flood, and some people lived because of the flood. You must have absolute assurance. The difficult, dead-end situation before you is actually the way for you to live.

3) The evidence And God spoke of the evidence. “I will be with you; stand still and see the salvation of the LORD. I will let you cross this sea. The LORD will do it.” After Israel came out, the Egyptian army went in after them. The waters closed in and drowned them. And that is not all.

2. Experiencing God’s power Why did God drive the Israelites to the Red Sea and allow Egypt to chase them there? God did this. It was so that they would experience His power. We must experience the power of God.

1) Answer You must not experience with disasters, but experience with answers. It is the same event, but different. Look. Egypt experienced God through destruction—“Ah, this God is real,” that way. Israel experienced Him through answers.

2) The Word Many people experience God’s power through suffering, but we must experience it through the Word. When you hear testimonies of people who were in great suffering and later received answers—there is nothing wrong with that. Right? But there is nothing especially good about it either. I tell people not to put remnants under those who have had a lot of strange experiences. Right? It is best when nothing happens. The best is to realize through the Word. Right? Your children must realize as they go forward and receive answers, not by getting injured and going to the repair shop. Things get complicated then, right?

3) Prayer Among those who were grumbling, there were people who were praying. These are the ones who were led to experience God’s power. You must absolutely remember this. The Red Sea. It is an event we must talk about a lot. If we understand the situation that confronted them at the Red Sea and the power of God that parted it, there is nothing we cannot do. Why is it like this?

2. Assurance for the future It is assurance for the future.
1) The wilderness God was saying He would lead them through the wilderness. The wilderness is originally a place of suffering. But, “Look at how I parted the Red Sea!”

2) Preparation And since they would be in the wilderness for a long time, they must make all preparations with God’s power. The key among them is the tabernacle. Right? The center of everything is the tabernacle. That is why we say we must stake our lives and prepare the temple properly.

3) Conquest Further, there is a greater assurance. During the 400 years Israel was in Egypt, the land of Canaan had been taken by all kinds of mixed peoples. God was saying He would make them conquer Canaan. This meaning is contained in what happened before the Red Sea. Whenever you face difficulty, quickly find the covenant. Right? Do not be deceived. God shakes you in order to bless you. He is different from Satan. God is not Satan. Right? God shakes you in order to make you live. So, by passing through the Red Sea, He gave this perfect answer (main points 1, 2, and 3). This covenant is yours. You must hold firmly to this covenant and pray. Think: “What would happen if I were to die right now?” Or: “How much longer will I live?” You must have this forum. For example, if ten years pass, your situation will be completely different. Right? In ten years, people change. Generations change. Think what it would be like if you truly faced a great crisis. We must go forward with this faith (main points 1, 2, and 3). We must go with God’s power. At the recent conference, I mentioned this: when I went to Japan, Missionary Kang Myeong-ju came to meet me, and in our conversation she said something like this. She had been healed after nearly dying from cancer. So she said, “Pastor, once you stand before death, nothing else matters.” I said, “That is true.” “When death comes near, there is only the gospel.” We must start counting. We are standing before the Red Sea. We must cross the Red Sea. All the church members in Ulsan, Busan, and Changwon must pray, staking their entire lifetime. “Someday I will leave. When I am gone, what footprints will I have left here?” Without boasting, I must say: we must build the three courtyards, and I believe your history must be recorded. We must leave something so that our future generations can follow what kind of 237 missions we did. We must leave clearly what these three courtyards are. Then remnants from all over the world must come, see, and understand. “Ah, this is prayer. This is the gospel.” They must see that. That is the covenant He is telling us to hold. “The LORD will fight for you. Stand still and wait.” So this tremendous event occurred. Burying Egypt was natural, but more important was that the news went out to the whole world, and even more important was the faith there. To help you pray more, I will conclude.

▣ Conclusion
[ 40 years – The tabernacle ] What was the message of the forty years in the wilderness? The tabernacle. Without question, the tabernacle. With the pillar of cloud and the pillar of fire at the center of the tabernacle. With the openings of the tents all facing the tabernacle.

[ The Early Church – 3 courtyards ] What was the message of the Early Church? It was the three courtyards of the temple that Jesus spoke of. That is the message.

[ 237–5000 closed churches ] Then what is our message today? Why did they do everything centered on the tabernacle, and why did the Early Church have the three courtyards? We must save the 237 nations. The 5,000 tribes must come to our church, learn evangelism, and go out. And even more, we must save the closed churches. So throughout the country and world, as I plan to speak with our church leaders and our young adults at the retreat, if you just open your eyes a little, there are many. In Germany, the elders said, “Look for an RUTC,” and when they looked—without really expecting it—there truly was one. Since it was a cultural center used by children, the rent was cheap and no one could touch it. It was all prepared. If our church leaders open their eyes just a bit, opportunities are everywhere. We must revive the churches that have closed. So our mission is not just any mission. Because we have no place now, multiethnic people come and go like this. We must have resources prepared so that they can rest and pray, and truly have healing. And we must have rooms ready where the sick can go in, pray comfortably, and listen to the message. We cannot make the entire church like that, but we must make it possible for those who desire it. Right now the church lacks nothing at all. What we must have is what God truly wants. This week you must experience the tremendous work of God that allows you to cross the Red Sea. Did the miracle of crossing the Red Sea take place? Check. It has taken place for me. The fact that a powerless sinner like me can be in a place to do world evangelization together with you—that, for me, is a miracle greater than the Red Sea. Some people say that they realized God’s grace after they fell into great illness, but for me it was not even that. By grace, God made me understand through the Word, and I am doing world evangelization. What is the conclusion? The Red Sea incident happened because of people who had no faith. That is the precise way to see it. If we had faith, He would have taken us directly, but now He had to do some work on them. He had to give some training. That is the Red Sea. If it were you, would you send your child out into the world when they do not even know how to write? You must educate them. If your child is weak and cannot even walk properly, would you send them outside? Of course not. God caused this tremendous incident called the Red Sea and overturned the world. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this grace will begin in you today and this week. Let us pray.

Prayer. Let this covenant be imprinted in us today. Let us see the work of God who parts the Red Sea. Let the work of the Red Sea parting arise in our work, in our studies, and in our fields. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Exodus 12:43-51

---

▣ Introduction: On that day 

When you face pitch-dark difficulty, hold on to the three things God first gave Moses. In verse 51 it says, “On that day.” Today I set the title as “On that kind of day,” because we must receive the same answers. Knowing a lot about the Bible is important, but you must receive answers. You have done nothing wrong, but a problem came to your family. It is not even your fault. Your parents were shamans. But your family continues to suffer. That is one thing, but when you have children, your future generation also comes under spiritual problems. What should you do? When a pitch-dark and difficult situation stands before you, what should you do? You must pray that prayer today. Even if it is just today, pray. What should you do when it is impossible? It is not your fault. A spiritual problem came into the family, and no one can help with that. In some families, one person has mental illness, and another has developmental disability. That is not something parents can handle. What should they do? First of all, it is something very old. Not their own sin—something long-standing. Now Israel has reached a hopeless situation. Joseph is gone, and after 400 long years the Israelites have become complete slaves. The future generation was about to die. There is no situation harder than this. Egypt made a law: kill every Hebrew male child that is born. What kind of law is that? This situation actually came. At that time, God called Moses. How did He solve this problem? He first gave Moses three things. Today you must hold on to those. Of course they had to be set free from Egypt, but even more important was something else. They had to come out of the darkness. So God first gave Moses three things. You must absolutely remember these.

1. The sure covenant – The blood sacrifice What did He first give? He gave a sure covenant. “Lead My people out and give the blood sacrifice.” “Tell Pharaoh. I will be with you with a mighty hand. That will be the sign.” God said this. Moses held onto this covenant. Before that, he had never held it this strongly. When they were about to die, he held this covenant firmly.

2. The ten miracles – Completely breaking all the dark cultures Then he went before Pharaoh. That is the second thing. How can you defeat this darkness and come out? An amazing mystery appears here. What appears? We did not read it all; we only read the last part. God gave Moses power and performed ten miracles. If you look closely at the ten miracles, they are not something else. They completely broke all the dark culture. Today, may this be the Sunday when through prayer you break all dark culture. That alone is enough. You know the ten plagues. Ten miracles. The Nile River flows down from above, through Egypt, down to Sudan. It is enormous. It was Egypt’s god. God completely turned this into blood. When it became a sea of blood, what happened? God completely shattered the dark authority of the Nile. Frogs, gnats, flies—appear, right? All of these were Egyptian gods. Frogs were gods of fertility. In their own way, they called them gods. How can that be a god? In this way, the whole world fell into darkness. Israel was now trapped inside this. In some sense, this was a tremendous timetable. So the ten miracles completely broke all Egyptian culture. ※ Through prayer, break unbelief and all dark culture. You must break all unbelief and all dark culture in you.

3. The blood of the lamb, the authority to overcome darkness in the name of Jesus Christ – The secret to defeating the pitch-darkness of Egypt Third. But still it did not work. Even after the ten miracles, Pharaoh would not surrender. When did he surrender? When the firstborn children died—though that alone was not the true reason. Here an important answer appears. On the day the blood of the lamb was applied, the Israelites came out. This is the secret for you to overcome the pitch-darkness of Egypt before you. Believe and pray. Even just today—our nation and the entire church world are full of dark forces. It must become the time when with the blood of the Lamb, with the name of Jesus, this darkness is broken. So coming out of Egypt was not the real issue. It was that they had not come out of darkness. They needed to come out. After the ten miracles, Pharaoh said, “Go.” And in Biblical history the great Exodus took place. After the Exodus, God gave His Word. What is more important? They must now continue. To continue in this grace, keep the memorial day. Keep the Passover as a memorial. That is the text we read today. It is extremely important. ※ We have the authority to overcome darkness in the name of Christ. Break it. What sets us free is the blood covenant. When the firstborn were killed, the homes with the blood were passed over, and that is why it is called Passover. It means that darkness, death, and destruction could not come upon you but passed over. Because of that, when Egypt’s firstborn all died, Pharaoh finally surrendered. God said to commemorate this. It is important. ※ Hold the covenant first. Begin the prayer with authority. Do not forget this memorial. Solving the problems you have is important, but restoring what God has given is more important. So those who have such things in their family should not be discouraged, but first hold the covenant like Crosby did. Crosby held the covenant and gave thanks. “Thank You for giving me the blessing of being a child of God. Thank You for allowing me to pray the prayer that overcomes darkness.” She could not go anywhere, but the prayer like the ten miracles—prayer with authority—began in Crosby. One day, works began to arise. Crosby changed her prayer. Before she said, “Seeing is my prayer topic.” But later she said, “Not seeing is my prayer topic, because God leads me perfectly.” This appears in Crosby’s praise. God said to commemorate this. This is more important. Do not forget. What does it mean to commemorate? Why do we hold memorial ceremonies? “Do not forget.” Why do we commemorate 6.25? “Do not forget 6.25.” Why do we commemorate August 15 Liberation Day? “Do not forget.” So after Israel came out of Egypt, they carried out the ceremony to commemorate the Passover.

▣ Main: Keep the Passover – Continue it

What must be continued?

1. The Passover covenant that changes all destiny (verse 51) First. Commemorate the Passover covenant that changes—must change—all destiny. In verse 51, “On that day, the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt.” Commemorate this. “I rescued you from Egypt. You know people’s strength could not do it. I brought you out. Do not forget. Now go on the wilderness road.” That is all. God clearly gave proof. You cannot deny the historical work. 1) The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. This was spoken from the very beginning. From the beginning to the ancestors: “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” 2) Build the ark. “Make the ark so that you and your descendants will not die in the disaster.” 3) The fulfillment of the message the mother gave when she sent him to the Egyptian palace – The word given at Horeb (blood sacrifice). It was the message his mother gave when she sent him to Pharaoh’s palace, right? God spoke this again at Mount Horeb. Think about it. From within the fire, “Moses, Moses.” He said, “The place where you are standing is holy ground. Remove your sandals.” It was a declaration of great decision. “Go now and tell the elders and tell Pharaoh: ‘Let My people go so they may give the blood sacrifice.’” That was fulfilled. Do not forget. If you do not forget, works will arise. But you keep forgetting. When you do not forget, works arise.

2. Imprint the power of God that no one can block Second. Why commemorate the Passover? Because no one can block the power of God. Commemorate the Passover that imprints that power. Do not forget.

1. A week of concentration on the Passover They concentrated for one entire week on the Passover. (1) Concentrate on worship on Sunday and on prayer – The works of the Word will be seen. Try just one thing properly on Sunday. Remnants must concentrate on worship and prayer on Sunday. That alone is enough. Then you will see the works of the Word of God. If you lose this, you lose everything. So for one entire week, they concentrated on commemorating the Passover. There are many churches where the pastor is not present that are joining this message with us. Even churches with pastors are joining this message. Overseas, around one hundred sites listen by broadcast. After the sermon ends, this message goes out to thousands online today. And just as our elder prayed, many remnants are alone in remote places because their churches are struggling. So they worship alone. (2) Succeed in worship You must succeed in worship. Even those watching by video—the Word does not change. You must succeed in worship. Sunday is that important. I rarely speak about other matters on Sundays. Even if my secretaries ask, I do not answer. Why? Because Sunday is important. I must serve the Word of God. It would be easier if I had some qualification to teach you, but that is not the case. This is extremely important. (3) When you fall into deep, long-standing darkness – only that covenant, only that authority. Continue this. We can fall into such darkness on our path. Into long-standing darkness. What should we do? Only that covenant. Like the ten miracles—only that authority. Continue this. For one week they intensely focused on the Passover. That is why. (2) Unleavened bread – Eat the bread of affliction. Do not fear suffering. They ate unleavened bread. Unleavened means there is no leaven that makes bread rise. Just eat it. Simply put, it has no taste. In a way, it is the bread of affliction. Eat this. It has deep meaning. We do not fear suffering. They ate it for one week. (3) Meat – It must be those who are saved. Sacrifice of the covenant And what else? Meat. Today. Absolutely no foreigners. It must be those who are saved. God emphasized that. They ate it, but it was also the sacrifice of the covenant. Do not forget. Do not forget the power that brought you out of Egypt when it was absolutely impossible. Do not forget the covenant. It is the same meaning. Do not forget.

3. Deliver this to the future generation and to the entire world Lastly, why commemorate? Third: Deliver. Deliver this to the future generation and to the world. It tells us even how to deliver. How do we deliver?

1. Passover – We escaped from darkness by the blood of Christ We escaped from darkness through the blood of Christ. Commemorate that. But it did not end there. 2) Pentecost – The power to save the world that comes only upon those with the Passover covenant The blessing of Pentecost came. Upon those who have the Passover covenant comes the blessing of Pentecost. This is the power to save the world. Because you are people of the Holy Spirit, the works of Pentecost. Why do people go to shamans? They have no choice. They are children of the devil. They have no choice. So you cannot just say they are wrong. That is their path. They serve demons—so they serve demons and get deceived and die. Satan is the deceiver. He pretends to know all your things but deceives you so you never know the truth. That is why disasters come on all Egypt and world wars break out and chaos happens now. Pentecost. The day when the Holy Spirit came. The simple word Pentecost came from gathering harvest in fifty days, but in Acts 2: “When the day of Pentecost came…” 3) Feast of Ingathering – Background of the throne It did not end there. The background of the throne. What is it? The Feast of Ingathering. That is why these three feasts are important. They go together. Commemorate them and do not forget. Deliver them to the future generation. Make the future generation go with this and conquer the world. ※ You cannot defeat Pharaoh by anything else. The darkness was simply broken. This authority is given to you (Luke 10:19, Mark 3:15, Mark 16:17–18). You cannot defeat Pharaoh with anything else. That Pharaoh who caused world wars, sold people as slaves, and killed—you cannot defeat him with anything else. The darkness was simply broken. You have this authority. Pray today. “I give you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy.” “He gave them authority to drive out demons.” “In My name lay hands on the sick and they will recover.” “In My name drive out demons.” Jesus said this. He gave us tremendous authority. ※ With authoritative prayer, just as breaking the ten plagues, break the darkness. Today your field and our nation and the church are important. Today you must break darkness with authoritative prayer just as the ten plagues were broken. Do not forget this. Do not forget. Take this with you. Today is that kind of day. Yesterday while returning from the Gwangju gathering with the secretaries by car, as I mentioned to the elders today—the churches that closed have filled the listings. We cannot even take them because we have too many people. The sanctuary that seats 100 or 200 people—completely full on the listings. It is a serious problem. In each region. They cannot pay, so they put them up for sale. And they are not even expensive. “Just pay one million won a month and use it.” America? Filled. They are collapsing everywhere. What greater disaster is there than this? ※ Keep the Passover – Do not forget the covenant, the power, and delivering to the future generation to save the world. Today, you must pray this prayer. Keep the Passover. Commemorate the Passover. Do not forget the covenant. Do not forget the power. Do not forget saving the world by delivering to the future generation. Believe this. Only what is real must be believed. We cannot make it ourselves. It is by faith. Christ is not something we make and bring. God gave Him, so we receive by grace.

▣ Conclusion

I will conclude.

1. Five people finished this Five people finished this. Right? 1) The minister – One from the tribe of Levi, Moses Especially ministers—Moses alone, one from the tribe of Levi, finished all of this. 2) The church leader – Jethro who supported Moses Church leaders must realize this. Jethro alone supported Moses, and this world-changing work took place. 3) The remnants – Joshua and Caleb Two remnants followed. Who? Joshua and Caleb. “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you.” Caleb was his friend, but as soon as Joshua became leader, he said, “As I served Moses, I will serve you.” 4) The newcomer – Rahab the prostitute who held the covenant and received the greatest blessing Especially newcomers must remember. Rahab. She held the covenant. She changed into the one who received the greatest blessing. After entering Canaan, she became David’s grandmother. And following her descendants, Jesus Christ came.

2. We must be set free from darkness. Prayer holding the covenant with assurance will surely be answered. Lastly remember this. They came out of Egypt? That is not freedom. Not yet. Satan still exists. Came out of the wilderness? Not freedom. Philistines still remain. Beat them? Not freedom. They were taken captive to Babylon. Came out of Babylon? Not freedom. They became a colony of Rome again. It continues. We must be set free from darkness. Correct? In you, in our nation, and in your families, the work of liberation from darkness must arise. One of you is enough. Have assurance. “But I prayed and the answer did not come.” Of course. True answers do not come instantly in something visible. That is fake. The authority you used connects exactly to breaking darkness. Prayer with the covenant and assurance will surely be answered.

3. Commemorate – Do not forget the covenant that defeated darkness; deliver God’s power to the world through the future generation. Now you understand why He said to commemorate, right? What must we commemorate? The covenant that defeated darkness. With authority, the ten darknesses were completely broken. On the day the blood was applied, they came out. You must remember. Do not forget. Do not forget the covenant. Do not miss God’s power. This must be delivered to the whole world through the future generation. Our multiethnic people must go with this. Pray all day today. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Let today be the day we see the history of the Exodus and restore the secret of the Passover. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

Here in Gwangju I am seeing so many new things. So I thought, “Ah, this is not the countryside.” Since you are already putting in so much effort, even if it is something our broadcasting team already knows, whenever a praise song comes out, you must put in the lyricist and composer. And if there is someone singing a solo, you must put that person’s name as well. Since you are putting in the effort anyway, it would be good if you could do it that way.

▣ Introduction

There are a few things that not only our remnants but also many church members must always remember.

Now At any time, you must always think, “What kind of answer is God giving now?” Today is Remnant Day. God gathered the remnants in the wilderness and gave them a message for all Israel. He told them to let the future generations know all the things that had happened up to that point. But if you look at the content, He did not just say “let them know,” He said to imprint it. That is the end of it. What kind of time is now? It is the time when Samuel became an adult and began the Mizpah movement for the future generations. It is precisely that time. And to save the future generations, Elisha began the Dothan movement. So it is that time. And to save the future generations, in Isaiah chapter 62 God said to set watchmen. It is the time of blessing when God answers day and night. And whenever Paul met an important person, there is something he certainly did: he took them into the synagogue. That work is taking place now. At any time, you must confirm how God is working now.

Prayer (brain) + soul + eternal background And what actually happens when you pray? When you pray, your brain completely comes alive. And why do I keep telling you to breathe comfortably? Why do I tell you to do breathing prayer? In the past I did not talk about this, but now it has been completely proven scientifically. Now, if you go on YouTube, you see a huge amount of content about breathing. Why? Because if you do not do that, you cannot save your body. The place that is especially affected first is here (the brain). So when you combine breathing with prayer, you completely come alive. So remnants must always remember: “Ah, this is why we pray!” You must always remember this. Then it is not just something ordinary. It connects like this (to the soul). It connects into your soul. This is prayer. So it does not just end there. This connects to the eternal background. That is why it is important. All the spells and prayers of people who are not saved connect with eternity, but that place is hell. How miserable is that? That is their background. The reason the topic of the throne keeps coming out for you is because it is our background. So in the remnant time you must remember this prayer.

▣ Main point So there are a few things you absolutely must keep in your heart as you begin.

1. Bartizan (concentration) – [ 7〮7〮7 ] First, the reason for doing this prayer is to build the bartizan of the LORD. Prayer is concentrating on that. So to what extent should you set a standard and do this? We came to the conclusion of what Jesus taught. You must set a standard. Jesus explained the forty days. So it is bartizan, journey, and guidepost.

1)Three courtyards When remnants pray holding onto this, three courtyards are made and can be revived. Because you will become the main figures in this, you must enjoy this blessing.

2) The three-day weekend age And the answers all came from here, right? You are becoming the main figures of the three-day weekend age. In this way, when you have a bartizan for other remnants, things become easy. If there is no bartizan, it becomes difficult. If you have a bartizan, a watchman can guard from there. It is hard to stand outside without a bartizan and act as a watchman. It is hard in winter and hard in summer. If you have this bartizan, you can enjoy blessings like this. So from today, remnants must absolutely start praying, even briefly. This (brain + soul) completely comes alive. What you do from now connects to the eternal background. If you could even do 24, you would overturn the world. Even if you do not go that far, for remnants—in fact, for remnants, if they just worship properly on Sunday, that is enough. But if you start this kind of prayer even once a day, it is tremendous. This (brain + soul) changes. That is why when we ask, “Why do we do this?” it is because nothing else must enter here (brain + soul). So for people who became great figures, almost everything was imprinted during their remnant time. And if you look at people who commit big incidents, kill people, and do such things, in almost every case something evil was imprinted during their remnant time. So it goes on for eternity.

3)Age of holy meditation So why do we talk about concentration, setting, and answers? It is to open the age of holy meditation. With these three, remnants can save the world. From now on, keep praying.

2. Journey As you continue doing this (number 1), you go on a journey with it. Because you go on the journey with this, there are a few things you must absolutely remember before you go on the journey.

1. Christ — what He gave, 1.3.8 What in the world did Christ give us? You must go with this. What Christ gave us came out earlier while we were singing praise, right? He gave this (1.3.8). Christ completely gave the answer, and He gave the mystery of the kingdom of God, the filling of the Holy Spirit, and world evangelization.
2. Start Then how did this begin? That was Mark’s upper room.

(1) The three feasts The most important part there is the phrase, “When the day of Pentecost came.” When it says, “When the day of Pentecost came,” it means it comes upon those who are saved. It is unnecessary for those who are not saved; it comes upon those who are saved. And “Pentecost came” has another background. We call that the three feasts. This is the start.

(2) Acts 2:9–11 So you often ask, “What should we do?” If you continue this (7〮7〮7) prayer, you will see it. You will see two things. You will see people. You will see the prepared disciples. So success does not come from meeting a lot of people. There are people whom God has prepared. So for our pastors and remnants, when you evangelize you must always keep in mind that within that field there can definitely be someone whom God has prepared. When you pray, the Holy Spirit leads in a marvelous way. If you do not know that prayer, even if you are being led, you do not recognize it. So you cling to the wrong person and work hard. As you keep doing it, just as a doctor can see a patient and know, as you keep doing it you can confirm, “Ah, this person is a prepared disciple right now; this person is not.” Then you dig into that person. People keep making evangelism difficult. For me, how did I start? When I looked at a newcomer, there were people who just came, and there were people who were prepared. For people who just came, you can just be a bit good to them. Just treat them so they will not get offended. But there are prepared people. If you grab hold of that and dig in, the doors keep opening. So if you go to a random person and evangelize, it is difficult. Around newcomers there are many unbelievers. Around pastors there are almost no unbelievers. That is why the ones who are worst at evangelism are pastors. That is normal. There are no targets around them. If one unbeliever comes, then 99–100% of the people around that person are targets. You must not lose hold of that. But instead of meeting those people, you keep meeting other people. Meeting these people is the first part of the camp.

(3) Acts 2:17–18 Then the future is simply seen—with what? It is seen as answers. Then you can just go. If you do not see it, you can wait. Jesus told us to wait. If you stand in some other path and keep saying, “It is not coming,” then of course it will not come. So this is very important. Remnants must not forget this. You do not need to worry, “What will I do in the future?” It is the same as thinking, “Which road should I take to go home?” You should just go. Only people coming home for the first time worry like that. These days you do not even need that worry. There is navigation for everything.

3. Platform — 10 things Third, for you to go on the journey there must absolutely be a platform. What is the platform? It is the 10 things. I believe in God’s absolute sovereignty. You must truly believe in God. God has a plan. But even more important, God’s plan is to save. Even if it looks like you are going through great hardship, it is to save. He makes you suffer to save, but Satan makes you suffer to kill you. That is where it is different. “For God so loved the world.” In contrast, Satan “so hated the world.” His goal is for you to be ruined. God’s goal is for you to live. He even wants unbelievers to be blessed. So you must believe in God’s absolute sovereignty. Then what is the second? God’s absolute method. What is that? It is Christ. God’s absolute power is that He said He would send the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. God’s absolute guarantee is the Word. The most important temple is me. The Holy Spirit of God is in you. Where is the most important mission field? The place where I am. God knows my entire life. That is why we are thankful. He watches over our sitting down and rising up. But it does not end with that. It comes to everyone once. After being born on this earth, everyone comes to face death. To everyone. And there is surely the afterlife. It is promised in the Bible. Only the part of “going there and actually seeing it” remains, but the Bible promises it that way. Seven thousand promises have been fulfilled, and within those words God says that there is hell and heaven. And what is the final platform? If this evangelism movement you are doing is real, He said, “Even a cup of cold water will not lose its reward.” I have spoken of the 10 platforms. You must remember them. Right now I just recited them all from memory. Because they are always inside my prayer. And it does not end with that.

4. Secret — 10 things God has given you as many as 10 secrets. What is the very first? You survive wherever you are. Alone. You survive even if there is no one to help you. In some sense, you go with No-time, No-way, and Nobody. God’s entire way is there. And you must always not be deceived by what you see in reality, but open your eyes to the spiritual facts. Answers are almost always on the other side. People fight complicated fights, but the answer is not there; it is somewhere else. So fools grab hold of that and fight every day. The answer is not there. And if you grab hold of God’s covenant, you save everyone. So we choose the side of crisis. Problem came? We go there. That is a remnant. And what do we not have? We have no competitors. If you truly receive answers, you have no competitors. Who can compete with Joseph? They cannot. Who can compete with Elisha? As God blessed and fulfilled the remnant’s will, who can compete with Daniel? They just became jealous and died; it was not competition. And what is your real answer? Do not worry about studies. It is re-creation. It is re-creation that prepares 300%. Then everything unconditionally ends. And what is it? We choose the desert and wilderness. What is the last secret? Seeing God’s absolute plan. You see the absolute. It is not something you may or may not do. Absolute. “It would be good if I did it”? Why would you stake your life on that? It is absolute. I have just spoken of the 10 secrets. Remnants must absolutely remember them.

5. Assurance — 5 things Finally, what is it? Many different things arise. Everything now is just the beginning and the process. It is the 5 assurances. What are they? “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” If the word “Christ” is believed—then you have been saved. Praying hard? That is what comes after. If Christ is not believed but you pray fervently, then problems come. If you have not even received salvation but you pray hard, problems come. That is the same as doing a shamanistic ritual. Because there is no Christ. So if there is no Christ but you work diligently, problems come. What is the first thing you must have? The assurance of salvation. And He said this: “Ask in My name.” What does that mean? It means you do not need to catch lambs, cows, or anything like that anymore. Everything ends with this one name. He gave you the key. So “Ask in My name”—that is the assurance of prayer answers. Many problems come to us. Remnants must be calm. Why? Because He only gives trials you can bear and surely makes you overcome. First Corinthians 10:13. What is it? The assurance of victory. He makes you win. And what is it? Why did He send Christ? You cannot overcome disaster, the background of hell, and Satan. He completely finished all of that. Mark 10:45—the assurance of forgiveness. And what was the last thing He said? The first thing He said and the last thing He said were the same: “I will be with you always.” The assurance of guidance. I have said everything now. I have just spoken it. So you take this with you. Whenever problems come, you must know, “Ah, this is the process.” When He says He only gives trials you can bear, it means that for a great person He can give great trials. If you are a person who looks like you will do great works, God trains you greatly. For a small vessel, He gives small trials. Who tells a first-grader in elementary school, “Solve integrals and calculus”? No one does that. To an elementary school student, you say, “What is 1 plus 1?” If I, a full-grown adult, call Pastor Jo Sangryong and ask, “What is 1 plus 1?” who is the fool? I am the fool. God is not that kind of fool. If He gives a big trial, it means you can become a great worker. Remnants must always remember this. “Ah, the environment of our home was not good.” That means you are a great person. Why? Because that is how you are trained. A tree that grows in a greenhouse is not really a tree. If it is not cared for and goes outside, it dies. That is why you must be hit by rain and wind; that is how you become a proper tree. You must firmly hold onto these 5 assurances.

22. Feb. 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism

---

RT Remnants must understand this word well. The word “Remnant” in the Bible means “those who remain,” and it is the most important word. Then you must understand three words as well.

TCK If you do not know TCK, you cannot do world evangelization. That is why even people in international marriages are important for this reason. In some ways, they look like people who have been abandoned, do they not? That is important. (T) The third culture.

CCK There are Remnants who are completely in an opposite culture, such as Muslims or Chinese people. C means “culture,” and Kids means “children.” So what are you going to do about these people who are completely in a cross, in the opposite side of the cultural sphere?

NCK There are Remnants in places where there is no culture at all. You must understand these three words (TCK, CCK, NCK) in order to pray correctly.

237 – 5000, healing, summit When this comes out, that is what we call 237, healing, and summit.

– Three courtyards – This is what we call the three courtyards. It was that very field where Jesus became angry. Because there was no place for the multiethnic people to come, no place to pray, and no courtyard for the children, Jesus became angry. You must understand this. If you do not understand this, there are people who say they have read the Bible 100 times. So what will you do after reading it a lot like that? Some say 200 times. I do not mean that reading the Bible a lot is a bad thing. But it is like holding a map without knowing the way.

「What we must absolutely do」 Therefore, within this, there is something that Remnants must absolutely do. Right?

1. What to change (John 8:44) First, what to change. You must change this during the Remnant time. And when you meet these people, you must change them as well. What must be changed? I told you earlier. They belonged here (John 8:44), and I said that their lives had entered into this. They are running errands for the devil. This must be changed. If this is not changed, nothing will work in any case.

1. 12 strategies Satan has used 12 strategies. You must completely overturn these.
2. Scars And scars must be changed. Scars may look like nothing, but they must be changed.
3. Platform You must not just change these scars lightly. You must turn them into a platform. Because you cannot forget them, you must make them into a platform. All Remnants must absolutely do this (the opening part). And we adults must open up the three-day weekend age so that this (what to change) can be done. If you try to take out what is inside of you, you will not easily bring it out. Right? Do you grab some passerby on the street and tell them your story? You do not, do you? But when you meet a friend, you tell it to your close friend, do you not? You must be able to come to church and take out your things and change them.

2. What to find (Romans 1:16–17) What to find. What Paul found (Romans 1:16–17). What Luther found. You must find it. Although we know that this is the gospel, what we have not found is this.

1. The value of the gospel You must discover the value of the gospel. This is everything, but it is not becoming everything, is it? Then you have not found it. Christ is the One who has finished every problem, but you have not found that. You must find it.
2. The happiness of the gospel And how good this gospel is. This gospel is my greatest happiness. You must find this.
3. The power of the gospel And you must absolutely find the power of the gospel. There must be power. Because they criticized Paul so much, Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel. It is the power of God that brings salvation.” That is what he said. He found this. You must find this during the Remnant time. And at times, you must find it in a factual way. Remnants must find it scientifically. Can the background of hell, the background of Satan, disasters, and spiritual problems that we have be solved? They cannot. Because they cannot be solved, God gave this to us. That is why we call it grace. The term “Christ” is the scientifically possible way to solve them. That is why the Old Testament is the promise that Christ will be sent. Right? The New Testament is that Christ has come. Paul said, “The righteous will live by this faith.” That is what it means. Jesus said, “I am the way and the truth and the life.” In the English Bible, there is an article. It says, “The way.” There are many ways. But He is “the way.” There are many truths. He is “the truth.” Is not everything that is alive a life? He is “the life.” You must know this together.

3. What to establish (300%) Therefore our Remnants, with this strength, are to establish things.

1. My bartizan It is to establish my bartizan 100%.
2. Field bartizan And before we go to the field, it is the field bartizan 100%.
3. Future bartizan And it is the future bartizan 100%. This is what we call 300%. So in our General Assembly we are saying, “Let us do camp like this.”

Now, if we have not properly held to the golden fields, the blind spots, and the disaster fields, they will not accept it. When is graduation? When clear fruits appear, that is graduation. If that does not happen, some of you may not be able to graduate for twenty years. We will not let you graduate. You must receive the true blessing. So now the General Assembly president has had all his answers come out: “Ah, I must do this.” If we are not going to do this, why have a General Assembly? Only to always meet and fight? There was a pastor like this; I was truly surprised. He could not preach well, and the church was not going well, but when he spoke to you—I used to go to the General Assembly and Presbytery meetings, and when they came out and spoke at the General Assembly, their eyes changed completely. They were so smart. I was so surprised. Their eyes were blazing, and although they usually stuttered a little, at that time they did not stutter at all. “Ah, there is such a nature,” I thought. But when they go back to the church, it is just a mess. They were wrongly imprinted. You must imprint Remnants firmly. Then it will last a lifetime. As you go, once in a while you must check, “Ah, do I have this blessing?” Because if you drive a car without ever having it inspected even once, one day you will die. Right? If possible, even with a car, every day you should check whether the tires or anything else are strange before you go; you must not just run. Almost all airplane accidents happen because they did not inspect. Hundreds of people died. They should inspect something, but they do not. That is the biggest reason. For that reason, this time too, what if the plane had taken off when it caught fire underneath? It is fortunate that it could not take off. If it had, everyone sitting there would have died, being roasted by the fire. That is how important it is to inspect and check. Especially for Remnants, when you go to worship on Sunday, check this: “Ah, do I have this blessing or not?” Then everything will naturally be fulfilled when you become an adult. Let us pray.

Prayer We give glory and praise to God. We also give thanks. Let this blessing absolutely come upon the Remnants, and we thank You for what You have already given. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

16. Feb. 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 2nd Service
237 Missions Department Devotional Service
Scripture Reading: Exodus 2:10-20

---

Thank you. We often ask many questions like, “What work should we do?” That is important too, but God does not desire that in that way. You do not need to worry about that. You may also ask questions like, “How should we do missions?” However, in reality, we do not have the ability to do missions. Moses struggled for 80 years, but not a single thing was accomplished. Today became the day when God called Moses.

God holds the covenant. This is the most important thing. No matter how earnestly you work, if you lose hold of the covenant, you have lost everything. And with that covenant, He sets the path. Then, through you, He has the goal of saving others. Today He gave that covenant. In Exodus 3:10–20 there are many very important words. “I AM WHO I AM.” That is what the name “Jehovah” means. The word “Jehovah” is the same as “Yahweh,” and it means “the One who exists by Himself.” A tremendous message has been thrown to us in today’s passage.

[ The voice of Horeb Mount ]
And so today that place is Horeb Mount. The important thing is, “How can we hear the voice of Horeb Mount?” In order to hear the voice of Horeb Mount, you must absolutely consider three things in a big way.

[ Now (covenant) ]
What is happening right now, at this moment, to you? Now. When you have now held to God’s covenant, direction, and goal, what is happening? Most people do not believe this, but you must believe it. At the very beginning of today’s worship, the first words were, “God is spirit, and His worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” In other words, “God is not like this (wet towel), something you can see with your physical eyes. He is Spirit, so those who worship Him must worship in the Holy Spirit and in the truth.”

[ 1. Trinity ]
Then at this very time, such works of the Holy Spirit are taking place. The Triune God. This is very important. While you are worshiping here, He is working by the Holy Spirit in every place related to you. This is called transcending time and space. When you truly and accurately hold to the covenant, works take place in your children.

[ 2. Binding the darkness (Satan, evil spirits) ]
At that time, even though we have not gone there, the darkness is bound. You must always remember this. When we hold to the covenant, when we worship, when we pray, this is what is happening right now. When we say darkness is bound, it means that the forces of Satan and evil spirits are being bound. Right at this time.

[ 3. Throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies) ]
Right at this time. While we are simply praying here, the power of the throne appears. This is the promise of Jesus. The kingdom of God is established. And the works of the kingdom of God take place. At this time, God sends His holy angels and messengers. It is the same spiritual beings, but when they deliver the message, we usually say “messengers.” And when they help, we call them “angels.” And when they fight in your urgent matters, the Bible expresses them as the “heavenly armies.” Unbelievers hate these words. Why? Because we say we bind Satan. They are serving Satan, and we say we bind him. Right? And those who actually worship idols are afraid. Because Satan is being bound. However, many theologians and pastors dislike these words. I do not know the reason. If we remove this, there is no meaning at all in our worship today. I hear this rumor often: “On the days when the pastor comes, more people come. On the days when the pastor does not come, many seats are empty.” So I wondered, “Is it because they are from Seoul?” But they say Busan is like that too. That is foolish. Even if we do not have time, we can fully utilize the message. Through broadcast or materials. However, on the Lord’s Day, you must receive answers regarding everything in your life. So what if the church is far away? It does not matter at all. Why do you go on a picnic? Why do you cause such a fuss and accidents and go on a picnic? The family must make a spiritual picnic and come. In the future, if we do not find the answer for the three-day weekend age, it will be a big problem. If we do not know the three courtyards, the churches of the world will close their doors. You must remember this. When I came here, I had assurance about this. The pastor here before was an excellent pastor, but the church was so far away that people did not come, and the church could not handle it. Right? He was a very excellent person, but the members could not follow. I was assured. “Our members will climb up even if the church is built on a cliff, hanging onto a rope.” Right? And indeed, you have all climbed up holding the rope, like this. But in reality, we received many requests like this: “Pastor, we need many members to gather, but because you preach different messages for first and second services, all the members attend both, so could you simply do first and second service with the same sermon—easily put, kirikai in Japanese—sharing the same content?” There were many such requests. Many people do it that way. If they do, it profits them in a financial way. They can secure a large number of people. I do not think that way.

Believers must truly enter into prayer from early dawn until night. We must teach the children. Because we do not know this, we cannot overcome those who keep the Sabbath. Among the Jews, if someone keeps the Sabbath carelessly, it is a very serious matter. In that way, the Jews have taken one-third of the Nobel Prizes in the field of science, where we have not received even one. So at least on the Lord’s Day, you must accomplish tremendous works in your life. You must teach this to your children. While we are worshiping, these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are taking place.

[ When ]
Then, mainly when—when do these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) take place?

[ 1. Good times ]
Sometimes we have good things happen. When we are joyful, when we are glad, even at such times, these works take place.

[ 2. Difficult times ]
But look at Moses today. When things were truly difficult, God accomplished even greater works. We said it was difficult, and Moses said it was difficult. But in reality, that time was the best time. It was a better time than when he was in the palace.

[ 3. Evangelism, missions ]
So he saw evangelism and missions in terms of time. That is why we hold this missions dedication worship today. While these things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are taking place now, God works especially at these times (good times, difficult times, evangelism and missions). God worked in accordance with the timing of when the doors of evangelism and missions opened for all seven remnants. These things (Trinity, binding the darkness, throne, kingdom, works (angels, messengers, armies)) are always happening.

[ How ]
Then, how does He mainly work? He mainly worked in three ways.

[ 1. Prophecy (Exodus 2:1–10) – fulfillment (Exodus 3:18) ]
When the prophecy, the covenant we have held to, is given to us, that Word is fulfilled. For example, Exodus 2:1–10 is the message he heard from his mother. This has been fulfilled today. It appeared to Moses. The passage we read today is when Moses was at Horeb Mount while the Israelites were perishing, and God appeared. Earlier, although we did not read it, He said, “I have seen the misery of My people.” Also at Horeb Mount He appeared in the midst of the fire. But when fire burns, it usually spreads like this. Instead, it did not go out and burned in one place continuously. While Moses was watching that, the voice of God came. “Moses, Moses. This is holy ground, so take off your sandals.” At that time, sandals were one of the symbols expressing one’s status. Even for us, when we do something important, we say, “We will do it with our bare feet.” “Take off your sandals.” Moses was shocked at that moment. Then He said, “Bring My people out. Go and tell him that you will offer the sacrifice of blood.” And what He clearly commanded was, “Tell the elders. And tell the people. And go and tell the king.” He will not listen, but “I am Jehovah.” This word (Exodus 2:1–10), what he heard in his childhood, has been fulfilled.

[ 2. Problems – answer ]
Also, what had been a problem in my past suddenly and one day comes to me as an answer.

[ 3. Crisis – life mission ]
Also, I thought I was facing a tremendous crisis, but God’s presence came at that time. Not just presence, but He gave a great life mission.

You must never lose hold of this. That is why you pray 24. So, with this covenant, throughout this week you must pray to confirm the blessings. We keep losing hold of things throughout the week, but during the week, answers are absolutely taking place, so we pray to confirm them. Why?

▣ Introduction_ Fulfillment
The covenant is absolutely fulfilled.

[ 80 years ]
Though it seemed as if it was not happening, today it was fulfilled after 80 years. Exactly. In his childhood, and now he is more than 80 years old, and he thought everything was over. It was not over. There remains an absolute plan for you. You must not listen to the voice of Satan. Especially for our elderly saints, elders, and deaconesses, there remains a special prayer plan. People do not know this. People do not know anything. In the Bible as well, God’s work was fulfilled through those who deeply prayed, like Hannah and Jethro. Right?

But because they do not know the value of prayer, because they do not know prayer, they think, “Old people, oh, those people…” This is the same thinking as unbelievers. Right? For unbelievers, what matters is youth, strength, earning money. Is that not so? When we began here in Busan, women with no power, deaconesses, prayed all night. They are still praying. Of course, members of the National Assembly are distinguished people, but what if only such people were in our church? Who would come and pray there? They would be too busy fighting. Still, I am thankful to our Elder Choi Jong-hwan here, because when he heard that I was encouraging our prayer teams, I said, “Yes, indeed, those who pray are different.” I had not even thought about it, but the answer came exactly.

1. Palace – knowledge
He spent 40 years in the palace. He learned many things. But that was not the answer. Right? In the palace, he learned much knowledge. He used his head a lot. He thought he would succeed. But it was not so.

2. Midian – Word, prayer
He became someone who had to flee to Midian. There, Moses restored the Word and prayer. It had to be so. In Midian, he restored the Word and prayer, and he received many things, blessings. He himself did not know, and you do not know it now, but you have received them. Yet this was not the answer either. One day, at eighty years of age, he saw it.

3. Wilderness – 40 years
God told him to go along the wilderness path for forty years. This is the real thing. So it does not mean that this time (palace) is unnecessary; it means it is not the answer. The voice given to Moses, as you know, resulted in what? The Bible records that there was no one who received more answers than Moses. So those who have no answer and those who are old must not think that way. You must completely change your thoughts. “I was in an extremely difficult state.” It is okay.

10 miracles
Through Moses, the 10 miracles took place. The whole world was astonished. Right? These 10 miracles are what astonished the world. First of all, there is a river that flows down from above. It is a famous river. The Nile River. Where does this Nile River flow into? It passes through Egypt. Then it flows down into Sudan. It is a famous river. It is Egypt’s god. There are many songs about the Nile River. Right? Moses performed a miracle and turned it into blood. The world was stunned. The king was shocked and said, “Forgive us. Pray for us,” in this way. By performing ten such miracles, he freed the Israelites and sent them out.

Ark of the covenant
On their way, there came a time when the Israelites were in a state of starving to death. God sent manna and quail. As a memorial, they put manna into a jar. On the way, the Israelites were shaken. The majority of them were shaken. Do not worry. The covenant does not change. At that time, He gave them the Word carved on stone tablets that would never disappear. Some people think, “What is so important about worship?” When they said that, Aaron’s staff, which led the worship, was stuck into the ground and it budded. They kept that. That is what is called the “ark of the covenant.” Wherever that ark of the covenant went, works arose. All of that was the answer through Moses.

Three feasts
And He gave them the eternal promise. Salvation. It is the Passover. The work of the power of the Holy Spirit. It is the Pentecost. The background of the throne. It is the Feast of Ingathering. These three feasts. Truly amazing. All of this was through Moses.

Tabernacle
Why do we build and prepare the temple? It is the tabernacle movement. The tabernacle, importantly, had three courtyards. You must remember this. In the tabernacle, they did not extinguish the 24-hour fire. This is important. Why are the servants of the Lord precious? They kept the 24-hour fire burning and stayed on standby. On their garments they engraved the names of the twelve tribes and prayed. That garment is called the “ephod.”

All of these (10 miracles, ark of the covenant, three feasts, tabernacle) came out entirely through Moses. And it did not end there.

(Deuteronomy 6:4–9)
“Pass these truths on to the next generation.” What will you give to your children? To what extent did He tell them? “Let them tie it on their foreheads. Let them bind it on their wrists. Put it on the walls so they can see it. Let them see it even while running. Let them see it even while lying down.” These are very important words. Imprint it so that they completely triumph.

▣ Main Message
All of this has appeared for you today (in the opening and introduction), has it not?

1. God + my covenant
When God’s covenant and my covenant are aligned, works begin.

2. Direction + my plan
When God’s direction becomes my plan, works occur. No matter what, when God’s direction becomes my plan, works take place. Do not be discouraged. Do not listen to what people say.

3. Goal + my life
When God’s goal becomes my life, works take place.

1. God + my covenant

1. Horeb Mount
   This is the confession at Horeb Mount. Even at that time, this (the alignment of God’s covenant and my covenant) had not yet taken place.
2. Exodus 3:18–20
   He even said, “Go and offer a sacrifice of blood. I will be with you with My mighty hand.” But it still did not align. “I cannot do it. I cannot.”
3. Exodus 4:24
   In Exodus 4:24, God tried to call Moses away. At that time he finally said, “Ah.”

When I went to Japan, Missionary Kang Myeong-ju had come back from the brink of death with cancer. When I went, he came to the airport to greet me. While we were talking about various things, he said this: “When I stood before death, nothing helped.” That is true. It is the word of someone who experienced it. It is an important word. “When I stood before death, nothing helped.” Only the gospel helps. Apart from God being with us, there is no way.

2. Direction + my plan

1. Pillar of fire, pillar of cloud
   When God’s direction becomes my plan, God does not work in a small way. When it was cold at night, He protected them with a pillar of fire, and when it was hot during the day, with a pillar of cloud. Why? Because the direction was aligned.
2. Exodus 14:19
   In Exodus 14:19, He sent the angel of the Lord to go before them and guard them from behind. Do not be discouraged, but pray.
3. Center
   At that time, the entire center was the tabernacle. Even the direction of their homes was toward the tabernacle. Their prayer was the tabernacle. In this way, they began to receive answers.

3. Goal + my life
And God has a goal. When that becomes my life, from that time on, other things happen. Three things are fulfilled.

1. Exodus
   Exodus is God’s plan, no matter what anyone says. You come to see this.
2. Canaan
   No matter how many difficult things occur in the wilderness, entering Canaan is God’s plan. No matter what anyone says. Why is that?
3. World evangelization
   “Go there and do world evangelization.” This is God’s plan. You must absolutely hold to this covenant.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Paul ‧ team ]
Now, as we continued doing this covenant, it kept being cut off, and finally someone appeared who properly fulfilled it. Right? Who is that? It is Paul and his team. Paul mainly fulfilled this covenant, and he went to seek the sick. He went to the sick, and you must hold this covenant. Sick people, do not be discouraged; there are three things you must do first.

1. Acts 13:1–4, 16:6–10, 19:1–7
Acts 13:1–4. He did this first. What did he do? He received the perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit. Nothing else works. He experienced the perfect working of the Holy Spirit. Even if the doors were shut, it was fine. He came to know the perfect turning point. Before going out on missions, he was able to experience the very works that had taken place in the Mark’s upper room. Sick people, do not be discouraged; do healing breathing 24, morning, noon, and evening, while continually praying. Do not worry. You must experience this.

2. Acts 13:5–12, 16:16–18, 19:8–20
Then amazing things happened. The darkness was completely broken. Evil spirits were cast out, and the works of healing came upon those possessed by evil spirits. Incurable diseases that doctors could not heal began to be healed. This is missions. Finally, what happened?

3. Acts 19:21, 23:11, 27:24
“You must also testify in Rome.” Yes. Because there are 237 nations and 5000 tribes there. “Take courage. You must also testify in Rome.” Paul boarded a ship to go to Rome to stand trial. The name of that ship was the “Alexandrian ship.” As that ship was going, Paul, being a man of prayer, said that because they would meet a storm and die, they should stay there for a time and then leave. No one listened to that word. The captain said that it was nonsense. The owner of the ship also. The centurion who was in charge of leading them, whose name was Julius, felt uneasy. When he asked the owner, he said it was not true. When he asked the captain who was steering the ship, the captain said it would be fine. This explains the world today. As the ship went, it met a storm. Moreover, it met a typhoon. Everyone was about to die. For fourteen days they met the typhoon. It was so severe that day and night could not be distinguished. It was so severe that they did not know how many days had passed. It became like that. At that time, God spoke. “Last night, the angel of Jehovah stood by me and said…” What did he say? “Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.” Yes.

As long as you still have your calling remaining, there is no one who can block you. As long as our church has its calling, there is no one who can block it. There is no one who can block your posterity. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus that this week will be a week of receiving great grace. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You that even now is the time when the covenant is being fulfilled. Let us confirm many answers this week. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

▣ Introduction_ Absolute Impossibility, Absolute Possibility

※ The opportunity, in the three-day weekend age, to restore the three courtyards

Even today, many of you have come from the provinces and from far away. There are not many people who can truly recognize the heart of those of you who have been revived only by the gospel. That is why you may often feel, “There is no church we can really go to.” It is that hard. So there are many of you who have come all the way here from far away. You must not miss this golden opportunity. Together with your children, you absolutely need to restore, right here, the blessing of the three-day weekend age.

If there are church members who do not have some special circumstance, then move and live near here. Then you can help your Remnants truly receive the answers of the three-day weekend age, and you can even let them sleep in your homes. In this way you must really come to know what true blessing is.

I went to church from childhood. But the church members are busy doing only those things that cannot receive answers. When you go to church, they are doing only the things that cannot receive blessing. You must surely remember this and say, “Ah, we will restore the three-day weekend age and restore the three courtyards that Jesus taught even with anger.” If so, you will come to realize that this place is an absolutely amazing place.

As I go to America, the fact that there is much time is good. I can prepare and I can pray; it is really good. On the in-flight monitor, if there is some special documentary, I sometimes watch. There was one particularly striking program. In the past it was not like this, but suddenly in America a very strong wind came in from the sea and blew away houses that had been fine for one hundred years. Because such a thing had never happened before, they were living there feeling safe, but in one night everything was blown away. It was a documentary that uncovered why this happened.

I watched it with great interest. The content was this: The area we call Manhattan is a city, right? Originally, they said, it was a shell island—an island covered with an enormous number of shells. They scraped all of that away. They removed it and built a great city there. From that point on, two kinds of problems began to occur. All kinds of migratory birds used to fly there. Suddenly they came, but because they no longer had a place to land, they flew into the glass walls of the buildings and died—about five thousand birds a year. Then the documentary revealed something even more important. That enormous shell island actually controlled the speed of the seawater. The power of God’s nature is fearsome. They said those shells were there to control the speed of the sea currents that run across the entire United States. Since they removed all of that, there was no longer any control of the speed. So when the currents shift and the waves strike, they strike with a much stronger force. “Ah, so this is why we must not destroy nature.”

1. Israel’s crisis – The tremendous disaster that struck when the gospel completely disappeared

This may look like nothing, but when the gospel disappeared, tremendous disasters began to rush in.

1) The nation and the families were destroyed and became slaves

In the four hundred years that passed, the people of Israel faced a great crisis. The nation collapsed, the families collapsed, and they all became slaves. A crisis came upon the next generation. This tremendous thing happened—something no one had imagined.

2) A law was enacted that all Hebrew baby boys must be killed

But what was the even greater crisis? The nation of Egypt actually made it into law. You see, the law is fearsome. The law. “When a male child is born to the Israelites, kill him, without exception. For the sake of the future. To protect Egypt. Because they must not become more numerous than us. Kill them.” It was made into law.

The law is important, but there is something more important than the law: life. Any law that takes life is an evil law. Even in our country, because of two leaders, we have repeatedly had complicated situations. I believe that sin must be discovered and dealt with, but people must be saved. They made it into law. What could they do? They could not escape. Every Hebrew male child, every boy of Israel, was to be killed. So the Israelites gave up. No one could oppose it.

3) As time passed, they lost the value and power of the gospel and of prayer

What was the even greater crisis? Four hundred years passed. During those years, the people of Israel completely lost the value of the gospel that they were supposed to hold. That is the real problem. They completely lost the power of the gospel. There was no longer any happiness of the gospel. We must quickly… This was a crisis. If you do not know the value of prayer, how will you live? If you do not have the happiness of prayer, what will make you happy? If you do not have the power of prayer, how will you save the world? It is the same statement. This kind of problem came. As four hundred years passed, the gospel completely disappeared.

4) Today – If you do not know this mystery, you will do the errands of the world, the flesh, and Satan

How is it now? If we do not know this mystery, then we have no choice, because we must make a living, but to do the errands of the world. No matter how much we “succeed,” we will have to do the errands of the flesh. No matter how high a position we attain or how much we possess, in the end we will do the errands of Satan. The field has become like that now.

In Joseph’s time, it was absolutely astounding. But that is now just a story of the past. Could this perhaps be the picture of today’s Christianity? Even though we have an overwhelming background of God’s Word, America, which has produced the most mentally ill people in the world, has churches that are beginning to close their doors.

Just last week in Japan, I spoke about this. In all of Asia, Japan has the highest number of people with mental illness. Why is that? I talked about that.

2. Jochebed, who saw absolute possibility in an absolutely impossible situation

At that time, a person named Jochebed appears. She was in an absolutely impossible situation. No one could stop what was happening. But she saw absolute possibility.

1) The tribe of Levi – “You are a child of the covenant. You must be set free from slavery. Send your child into the palace.”

What was that? She was from the tribe of Levi. A Levite man married a Levite woman, and they gave birth to Moses. He was a Levite child. “You are a child of the covenant, are you not? Should you not be set free from this slavery? Send your child into the palace.” An astounding thing came out. She saw absolute possibility. You must receive this blessing. This is something that happens only once in history. It is a one-and-only event, a never-before-and-never-again answer.

2) There is surely a unique blessing, an unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing. Find it.

Now, how is it for you? There is something I really want to ask you. Do you perhaps think that this does not exist for you? Do you think, “There is no unique blessing for me”? Do you think, “There is no unprecedented-and-never-repeated blessing for me”? If so, then even if you do not live the life of faith, it may be all right—because then there is no need. You must find it. It surely exists.

3) Right now, when crisis and hardship have come, this very place and time is when you enjoy that unique, unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing

When is it? Many people are confused here. “When? Where should I look for it?” Right now. Do you not think that the very place where you are sitting is something that has never existed in history, that it is the place to enjoy a one-and-only blessing, the time to enjoy something unprecedented and never to be repeated? “But I am sick right now.” Do you not realize that you are in the best possible time to enjoy that blessing? It is absolute impossibility; it is a huge crisis. But this is not just “comfort” for you. She saw absolute possibility. “A tremendous crisis has come upon me, but in this very place I have come to see a work that will never again happen in all of history.” “I am in difficulty right now.” That is right. But do you not understand that even this is preparation? Our Remnants cannot afford to lose this.

I told my secretaries something. “Hey, stop trying so hard to think that ‘I absolutely have to become very healthy.’ Stop it. You keep thinking, ‘I absolutely must become healthy.’ Don’t do that. If I get sick, that is the end. I will simply be thankful for that and go to stand before God. Then I will see the full works of God.” Perhaps I am saying this because I am healthy now, and it may sound like nonsense. But that is not the meaning of these words.

Right now, in the time when you are facing difficulties, this is the time to see God’s absolute possibility.

▣ Main Message_ The Blessing of Levi That Was Passed on While Nursing Moses

Today I emphasized it simply. A Levite man married a Levite woman, they gave birth to a Levite child, and that son was Moses. Of all things, a princess saw him and said, “I will take him as my son, so please raise this child for me.” In all the world, who has ever been paid to nurse her own child? She was paid wages—she said she would give wages. That was the arrangement. She would nurse him, and when he grew up, she would send him to the palace. It was an astounding period of time. In this arrangement, the term “Levi” contains three tremendous things.

1. The time to imprint the light of the gospel of creation that breaks down darkness

First. It was the time to imprint the light of the gospel of creation that completely breaks down darkness. Right? That time. He was a little child, so she imprinted this on the young Moses. That is why we speak of the Remnant movement. On the young Moses, she imprinted the creative light of the gospel.

A person like Bill Gates saw a monitor when he was young. It was imprinted. He turned the world upside down. Handel saw the organ when he was young. That completely changed the world of music. So, is age absolutely important? You must believe that the light of the gospel of creation that overcomes darkness has been imprinted in you.

1) “Tell him, ‘We are going to offer blood sacrifice.’”

What happened? “Moses, go to the king and say this: ‘We are going to offer blood sacrifice.’” Now she is imprinting the gospel. When he heard these words again, eighty years later, he said, “Ah!” “Because I know that I cannot go before Pharaoh without speaking about this blood sacrifice.” He could not go. “And who am I? Look at my age. The king is looking for me—to kill me. How can I go to that man and say, ‘Let my people go’?”

God said this: “I am the LORD.” “Tell them ‘Yahweh says so.’ First tell the people of Israel, then tell the elders. Then go before the king and tell him. And I will stretch out My mighty hand and be with you. That will be the sign.” And so it was.

2) The ten miracles, the day the lamb’s blood was applied, and their liberation

What happened? Through Moses’ hand, the ten miracles began to take place. On the day the blood of the lamb was applied—the day of the Passover—they came out in freedom. This is what had been imprinted. It is tremendous.

3) Through the Moses, Jethro, Joshua, Caleb, and the prostitute Rahab who understood this, they overcame Egypt and entered Canaan

Five people understood, and they defeated Egypt. Moses, Jethro, Joshua, Caleb, and the prostitute Rahab. They finished everything with those five. Right? Those five went into the land of Canaan. Remarkably, everyone who went in with them were the next generation. The ones who came out of Egypt? They all died. There was no need for them to enter, because they had not understood.

Today is the time when the light of the gospel of creation that destroys darkness is being imprinted in you. Without fail, that day will come. It had all been prepared in advance.

2. The time to plant the power of the Word and prayer, which is the power of the throne that can overcome any other power

The second thing. While nursing him, she passed on the second blessing of Levi. What was it? “Plant in him the power of the Word and prayer, which is stronger than nuclear power.”

1) The power of the ark of the covenant

Because of this, the power of the ark of the covenant appeared. All of this came through Moses.

2) The tabernacle movement, tent of meeting movement, tent movement, and the three courtyards

The tabernacle movement, the tent movement, and the tent of meeting movement all came out. All three courtyards came out. As Moses restored the covenant, all of these were fulfilled.

3) Wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord went before him to lead the way and followed behind him to protect him

Today you must know the key of absolute possibility. The creative light of the gospel that breaks down darkness. The power of the throne that must be imprinted so that you can overcome the world—prayer, worship. Wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord went before him to lead, and wherever Moses went, the angel of the Lord followed to protect. You must believe this. If you hold to this covenant, the angel of the Lord will go before you to lead and follow behind you to protect.

For the overseas churches and our churches at home that are facing difficulties, do not worry. This is the time to see the blessing of Jochebed that has never existed in history. There is nowhere else. He is saying that He will give you an unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing. This is not something just anyone does. He is giving you this one-and-only covenant. It looks like a big crisis, but it is not.

3. The time to plant the historic commission to block the worldwide spiritual plague of darkness

Third. He sent him out after planting in him the commission to block the spiritual plague that was spreading worldwide. You must always remember this.

There are three things for you. The creative light that breaks down darkness; the power of the throne that must save the world; and the historic commission to block the spiritual plague of darkness. These three things were planted.

1) Forty years in the palace – The time to build up knowledge and learn Egypt

So first, God sent Moses into the palace and had him build up knowledge for forty years. He learned Egypt. He learned the laws and ways of the palace. The university he attended, according to historical records, was a royal academy called Hesperu. He studied there. You need knowledge. Right? That is why you go to school. But that alone is not enough.

2) Forty years in Midian – The time to restore the Word of God and prepare

God sent him to Midian. In Midian, he suffered for forty years. But it was not suffering. It was the time schedule in which he restored the Word of God completely. Some scholars say that he wrote Genesis there. I also think so. It looked like he had become a fugitive, but during those forty years, God once again prepared and confirmed these three things.

“No matter what others say, do not be deceived, but imprint the creative light that will break down darkness. Because you must overcome the world, imprint the power of the throne. That is prayer. Why Egypt? To block the spiritual plague that is killing the world.” For forty years, it looked as if he were alone in the wilderness, but there he was prepared in many ways.

3) Forty years in the wilderness – The staff that parted the Red Sea, brought water from the rock, and led Israel

When he turned eighty, there were forty years remaining—the true remaining forty. God told him to take the people of Israel and go into the wilderness. He had nothing, but God put a staff in his hand. That staff parted the Red Sea. Right? That staff struck the rock and brought forth water. That staff became the staff of power that led the Israelites—who were full of complaints and grumbling—for forty years in the wilderness.

Today, if you hold firmly to this covenant and then finish Sunday worship, on Sunday you must imprint this Word through prayer. That is all you need to do. Having notes written down is important, but you must imprint it in prayer. Then you will confirm that the answers recorded in the Bible are coming to you. It is certain.

※ A home to raise multiethnic talents

When many workers gather here, in a little while, through you, multiethnic talents who will truly move the world will gather. So prepare. Decide, “We will make a home that will raise multiethnic talents, talents who will move the world.” You can simply live together with them. Call them and raise them as talents.

In the past, even though our home environment was poor, a young man from England came and stayed for three months. I discovered that he was a tremendous talent. He had graduated from one of the top universities in England and came from a very good family. Why did he come? He said he had come for three months to receive training in evangelism. I was shocked. He had come for no other reason than to receive evangelism training. That was good. I decided that this was the best way. “Stay at my house. You will go with me. When I go to evangelize, you will go with me. Then, when I go to lead Bible study in that region, you will go with me. And when we have time, you will receive evangelism training and study the Word with me.” What a wonderful opportunity.

I believe that at such times, God gave me the blessing of the throne. Right? Believe that the same answer is prepared for you. Your difficult times are the very best time schedule. What does that mean? It is the time to imprint the light that will break down darkness. It is the time to imprint the power of the throne, by which that light is properly set up as a bartizan. You must absolutely understand this. It is the time to transmit, into Egypt where a tremendous spiritual plague is raging, the commission to save the world.

Forty years in the palace, forty years in Midian, forty years in the wilderness—this was Moses’ life, and this blessing was passed on through Jochebed at the very time that was the most difficult.

May you receive this blessing today.

▣ Conclusion_ Resolution

I will conclude in three ways. Make a resolution. What kind of resolution?

1. Come out completely from Satan.

Israel came out of Egypt. But they did not truly come out. Right? They did not come out from Satan. Then they went to Babylon. Then they went to Rome. These things must not be repeated. Do you understand how important this time is for you? This is the time when I am completely set free from darkness.

2. Make the once-in-history resolution – Become a professional who holds the gospel, enjoys the spiritual world, and does evangelism.

Then make the once-in-history resolution. What does that mean? There are many doctors. But there are not many doctors who have the gospel like you. There are many professors and many legal professionals. But there are no legal professionals who truly enjoy the spiritual world with the gospel. So you must do it. There are many pastors. But there are very few who truly live and evangelize for the gospel. So you must do it. This is the once-in-history task. Right? There are many students, many “talents.” But there are almost none who truly know the spiritual world and prepare. That is the second resolution.

3. Do the work that someone must do no matter what – the work of saving.

The final resolution. Do the work that someone must do no matter what—the work of saving. Right?

1) Jochebed, who sent her son into the palace to carry out the work of delivering Israel

In order to save Israel, even at the cost of her own sacrifice, she sent her son into the palace so that he could carry out the work of deliverance. She did the work of saving.

2) The spies Joshua and Caleb, who made the confession that saves

Every time you look, the Israelites are complaining and making things difficult. They should have said, “We must go through this wilderness anyway and pass through to enter Canaan,” but instead they said, “Why did you bring us here?” If it is something we must do anyway, then we must do the work of saving, not the work of killing. They complained. When the twelve spies returned, ten of them said, “We cannot go.” Now it was no longer just “the wilderness is hard.” They said, “They have built great fortified cities and are waiting for us. We cannot go.”

At that time Joshua and Caleb made the confession that saves. “It is a land flowing with milk and honey. It is our land. We must go. They are already discouraged.”

3) The prostitute Rahab, who told the lie that saves

Look later. The prostitute Rahab hid the spies. The officials of the nation came and said, “The spies came into this house. Where are they?” She lied. She lied and was saved. “They went that way. That way.” She even told them the direction.

What kind of lie was it? A lie that saves. There is such a thing as a “truthful word” that kills people. That is an evil word. She lied, did she not? “They are hiding here, they are here.” She should have said that. But she lied skillfully. “They went that way.” She even pointed out the place. Because of this, Rahab entered the land of Canaan.

4) David, who saved King Saul in every crisis and shed real tears when Saul died

Look at David. In every crisis, he enjoyed this blessing and did the work of saving. He had several opportunities to kill Saul. Several times. King Saul, tormented by an evil spirit, drove his army here and there to kill David. He had completely lost his mind. So the men following David said, “This is not right. King Saul has lost his mind. He is demon-possessed. We must kill him.”

But what did David say? “To lay a hand on the one whom God has anointed is something God does not permit.”

Several times, while David was hiding, in the dark, someone came inside from outside. If you come in from the bright outside into the dark, you cannot see at first. At one such time, Saul lay down and slept. David saw his face and cut off the corner of Saul’s robe with his sword. That shows you how relaxed he was. At the brink of being killed, instead of killing, he cut off the robe. He waited quietly until Saul woke up. When Saul woke up from sleep, what did David do? He called out to him, knowing that Saul was also like a father to him: “My father!”

Saul was shocked: “What is this? David!” David showed him the corner of the robe. Saul was moved and said, “My son, I am sorry. Truly God will bless you.” He said that—and then later lost his mind again.

In the end, Saul died on the battlefield. When news of Saul’s death came, one soldier ran with joy to deliver it. “King Saul has fallen in battle.” He should have delivered it in sorrow, but he came with joy, thinking, in easy words, “David will be pleased.” That was a mistake.

What happened at that time? If you look at David at that moment, it is frightening. He drew his sword and cut off that man’s head. “Is the death of the king such a joyful thing to you?” And then he wept loudly and shed true tears. That was David.

May today be the beginning of the greatest time of your life, in which you discover God’s important blessing. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, let today be a day when we receive Your grace all day long. Let it be the day on which we see the unprecedented-and-never-to-be-repeated blessing that comes only once in history, and let it be the day on which we see Your absolute possibility. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

27. Nov. 2024 Remnant Conference in America, Lecture 3
Theme: 『 Restore What Was Taken 』 (2 Corinthians 10:4-6)
Scripture Reading: Genesis 39:1-6, 41:38, 45:5

---

♠ Introduction
This conference is a very important conference. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will also give the message at Christ Covenant Church, and if you do not know the three courtyards, you cannot do evangelism, missions, or church revival. If you do not know the three-day weekend age, you cannot save the remnants. If you do not know the age of holy meditation, you cannot block the aftereffects of the meditation movements arising in America. This is everything. In the three courtyards, Jesus became angry and taught them. The concentration of the three-day weekend age was shown by Jesus in His last pulpit. And the Early Church properly held to and enjoyed the prayer mystery of this age of holy meditation. You must take this. In this last time, in order to do this, there are three things you must have. What is the first? It is spiritual summit 300%, because this is what God has given. The second is skill summit, your study 300%…

This is the content you must hold to in the end. It is “Culture summit 300%.”

Introduction – There are a few things you must surely remember in the introduction.

1. 24/25/eternity
In order to do this, become a spiritual summit. That is this. This is the 300% by which you become a spiritual summit.

2. Edit/plans/design
Then what is the skill summit? Edit this part. With this, with what God has given, do the planning. With everything in prayer, continuously, design this.

3. Prayer – lives/study/affairs
Then what is the culture summit? To reveal that content, you must first know three things. What is the important key of this third culture summit?

The Jews were struck by disasters seven times. Why do you think that happened? It may be understandable that the lay people do not know, but I want to ask the pastors. Why did it happen? They do not really know what repentance is. What is repentance? There are two kinds. What is the greatest sin? It is original sin. Having left God—nothing works. So it says in repentance, “Turn away from your sins.” It means, “Return.” Because they do not know this, because the Jews do not know original sin, they do not know what to repent of. Personal sins are the things that follow after that, the acts, right? If you repent of those, that is a simple matter, but original sin is not like that. Right? Original sin is resolved by believing in the Christ whom God has given; it is not resolved by my actions. This is what Paul continually emphasized. He said, “That cannot be done,” but they are not distinguishing this. So they fall into disasters, darkness, the power of hell, and Satan, and cannot come out. So God made known the way out. He made known the way for it to be resolved. That term is “the Christ,” who is the true Priest, the true King, and the true Prophet. Because they do not know this, they are continually deceived. Do not be deceived. You keep getting deceived by yourself. You keep getting deceived by “me.” You know that you have no ability, right? You know that you cannot do it, right? That in itself is being deceived. And then go outside and see. You get deceived by reality. You are deceived by people’s words in almost every case. You get deceived, do you not? Being deceived means that what you are holding onto is different from the grace and power that God wants to give you. You keep getting deceived. You keep getting deceived by reality. In the end, you are deceived by Satan.

So what is the first part that must arise now? From now on, within this prayer, your ①life must come out. This is very important. From now on, within prayer, your ②study must come out. Within your prayer, many ③affairs (your work and matters) must come out. This may seem like nothing, but it is the part by which you become a tremendous summit. When problems come, there are people who are shaken. When problems come, there are people who pray. But that is not the remnant that the Bible speaks of. Of course, when problems come, you should pray, but that is not the remnant that the Bible speaks of. With the power of this prayer, go out to meet the problem. Do you understand? With this strength, with the power of the throne, go to the field. Do not be deceived. “That person is so scary.” That is being deceived. They are not scary. That person is actually shaking tremendously. “That person makes things so difficult for me.” That is being deceived. That person is being tormented because of their spiritual problem. Is King Saul scary? He was demon-possessed. David was not afraid of King Saul. He avoided him. When King Saul came to the brink of death, David helped him. Right? We are knowing everything upside down. As time passes, nothing works out—and they do not even know why it is not working. You are not that kind of being. Do not be deceived. Do not be deceived by yourself. If you are going to be deceived, at least be deceived correctly; be properly deceived. I realized that I absolutely cannot do it. So I easily found the answer. Why? Because there is God’s absolute possibility.

Tonight, change your thinking completely. This is not difficult. It will take place automatically. If not, nothing works because you are holding onto the wrong things. You keep getting deceived. Joseph went as a slave, right? What kind of prayer did he do? He could not do some separate kind of prayer. How can a slave go aside somewhere and pray separately? It is right there, in that place that these works began to arise. Do not worry about anything. We keep thinking in the wrong way. “What should I do? How should I do it?” There is no need to ask that. The things you must do—if at any time you are enjoying, if you are enjoying, is that not enough? That is not being lost. You are holding onto the answer. Enjoyment. And then waiting. Is it not enough to wait? In Potiphar’s house and in the prison, he waited so that works would arise. When the door opened, he challenged.

Absolute (kings/237/5,000) – As he did this, several important results came. What kind of results came? He began to see God’s absolute sovereignty. You must always remember this. When you see God’s absolute sovereignty, you begin to see the absolute plan. From that point, you see the absolute covenant. Among the many Words, it becomes visible. Remnants, do not worry. You begin to see the absolute journey. Why did I establish a school in America? Because I saw the absolute goal. Right? The reason I pray the most for the American remnants is that Rome and America are the fields that can save 237 nations and 5,000 tribes.

At that time, God had the remnants stand before kings. Right? Not a single one failed to stand before kings. Why do you think that was? Because there, in those places, the 237 nations and the 5,000 tribes were present as slaves. The 237 nations had become colonies, and the 5,000 tribes had come as slaves. It was there that they shone the light. Do not be deceived. Do not be deceived by yourself. When I began the evangelism movement and church planting, I did not deceive myself. I knew that it was absolutely impossible for me. Right? I cannot do world evangelization. You must realize it correctly. “I cannot do it.” Then there is something that I realized. How? “I just need to do it as it is written in the Bible. I just need to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit like Paul.” I was sure of this. So, even though I had no church building, I opened 300 Upper Rooms exactly as it is written in the Bible. That was all. In our neighborhood, all the churches were non-self-supporting. Only our church raised 3,000 disciples. This is how it goes. Do not be deceived by reality. In the end, because you do not know the power of the Gospel, Satan blocks that. You must surely remember this. These kinds of results come out.

♠ Main – Let us enter the main content. How can we become a culture summit 300%?

1. Only
First is the discovery of “only.” Then it is done.

1) Talent speciality
What does this mean? It means that within my talent, I have seen “only.” There will be a specialization that comes out of this, right? He saw this.

2) Gospel, evangelism, missions
So for us, it is only the Gospel, exactly as Jesus said. For us, it is only evangelism. We study for this. We make money for this. For us, it is only missions. The level is different. We are not living just to eat food. That must be changed. We are not living in the world just to “survive.” Of course we survive. We must save the world. People put a label on us saying we are a cult. I think that is correct—because we are different. Those people have the Gospel. I have only the Gospel. It is different. They evangelize in order to make the church grow. I do not. It is only evangelism. Doing missions is considered wonderful. I do not see it that way. Because the spiritual pandemic of darkness is going around, it is only missions. “Only.” So it is different.

3) Only job
At this time, your future occupation becomes “only.”

What comes out from here? A “platform” comes out. Things will have no choice but to come. I will say it again. On the path that the remnants go, God will drive everything toward them. Is that not so? Have pride. To the places where you go, God will bring everything. “But pain is coming.” Do not get deceived again. Do you know what Paul said? “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed.” You must remember this.

2. Uniqueness
How can I become culture summit 300%? This (uniqueness) is enjoyment. This (only) is discovery. This (uniqueness) is enjoyment. You enjoy this and wait for it to come.

1) Field
This sets the field as the standard. But it is not only setting the field as the standard; now it sets as the standard an important answer and solution.

2) Person
At this time, people will come to know by looking at you. Potiphar came to know God by looking at Joseph. Pharaoh came to know God’s power by looking at Joseph. Right? This is uniqueness.

3) Event
From this time on, important works of God’s kingdom are fulfilled in you. I called it “event” because something happens as an incident while it is fulfilled. This is the “watchtower bartizan” that you enjoy. There, the light shines forth.

3. Recreation
This is the answer you will enjoy from now on. Why is it culture summit 300%? It is re-creation. What is this re-creation?

1) Future system, challenge
It is challenge and the future system. On the path where you go, you will surely see this system. At that time, you challenge. This is re-creation. You must always remember this.

2) Healing
On the path where you go, in the places where you go, healing arises. You must remember this.

3) Reproduction
Third, what is it? Continuous reproduction. What does this mean? After the conference ends and you return, through one remnant, works begin to arise again. You must hold to this. When you go back, you must save the existing generation. Do you understand? Do not hold onto other things. Help and save the pastors. Help and save the church leaders. There are many people at the brink of death. Be resolved. When you go to the field, do not be deceived; save them. This is re-creation.

♠ Conclusion
So what is the conclusion? You win without fighting. They won without fighting.

1. RT 7
The seven remnants won without fighting. Joseph went all the way to prison, yet became the governor. What concerns me the most is this: what happened to Potiphar at that time? On the day Joseph became governor, what was Potiphar’s wife doing? She must have been trembling all over. He was not just any governor. When the king appointed him, he said that he could do whatever he wanted with all the people. Right? He was a governor with real authority. “You are far better than I. I am only better in one thing—sitting on the throne as king,” he said. In the Bible it clearly says, “All the people shall submit to your orders; only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.” If it were me, I would summon Potiphar’s wife first. “Come here,” like this… But there is no such record. That is truly amazing. To his brothers he said this: “It was not you who sent me here, but God sent me ahead of you.” On the day his father Jacob passed away, Joseph wept loudly for days. His brothers were shocked. “That sound of crying is not ordinary. Listen. The weeping of the governor is not an ordinary sound. We are all dead now.” That is the level of the brothers. Joseph called them and said, “You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good, to accomplish what is now being done. I will take responsibility for your children.” He won everything without fighting. Right? Because he had power. You must never go and fight with kindergarteners just so that you can “win,” right? You must keep this in mind.

2. Hebrews 11
The heroes of faith in Hebrews chapter 11 were people whom the world was not worthy of. That is right. Take this and go.

3. Paul
At last, the Paul team arose, which saved Rome.

So always remember this. From now on, enjoyment. Unconditionally enjoy the bartizan, journey, and guideposts of the throne. While enjoying, wait for the important time. It will come. And when do you challenge, and to what do you challenge? When you see this (re-creation), you establish the guideposts. You must always remember this now. And it is important after you hear the message or after you finish Sunday worship. You cannot memorize the entire message. Imprint it through prayer. There will be something in it that God gives to you personally, right? Imprint that. So today, at our Remnant Night, this is good. You need the prayer by which you imprint. At that time, you also express it; you also praise; you also say, “Amen!” Try shouting “Amen!” once while you are studying at school. Then others will say, “Is that person crazy?” Here, you can say “Amen!” Right? If you know these three things, “Amen” is not an ordinary word. It means, “I believe that it will be so.”

After the service is over, after Sunday worship ends, do not just do what everyone else does, but somehow imprint the covenant.

Since I have come here, what have I been continually praying? I must imprint that and relay it, must I not? What is the most precious message in the Bible that will save America? The three courtyards. The three-day weekend age, every Sabbath. Mt Olive, the age of holy meditation. And in order to do that, what message does God want to give you this time? “Become a spiritual summit, 300%. Become a skill summit, find everything. Become a culture summit.” That is it. From now on, within prayer, make it so that everything comes out. That is easy. When I open my eyes in the morning—today I preached the noon message, right? Until then, for me, that is “morning.” Meeting you is “daytime.” Right now is still “daytime.” The time I meet you. When everything is over and I organize the messages, that is “night.” Do the three concentrations. Then the three settings naturally come out. From here, an “antenna” that connects you with God stands. An antenna that connects to the entire world stands. You win without fighting.

Then I will say it again. You do not pray when the problem comes. You do not run away when the problem comes. With the answer, with this power, you go to meet the problem. Right? When crises come, other people run away. We go to meet the crisis. We deliberately seek out the places of conflict and hardship. This is the power of the remnant. If there are people around you who are going through hardship, just comfort them with the Word of God’s power. Remnants, do not seek people’s comfort; receive this. Then it will be done.

From now on, continuous answers will keep coming to you.

Let us give a clap of glory to our Triune God. I will pray.

Prayer. We give glory to God. In each age, You have raised remnants. Let us prepare 300% with the three summits. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Prayer Journal: November 27, 2025
27. Nov. 2024 Remnant Conference in America, Lecture 2
Theme: 『 Restore What Was Taken 』 (2 Corinthians 10:4-6)

---

♠Introduction
Yesterday, the first message was “Spiritual Summit 300%.” What does that mean we must actually do? It is to do 24/25/eternity. Simply enjoy the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the 24-hour throne.

In the morning, you should mainly pray and breathe in a way that revives your brain. You absolutely must do this. During the day, you should mainly do things that revive your body. Most of you will simply be sitting right now, but during the day I am always centered on my lower abdomen (the danjeon). At night, I pray comfortably centered on my heart and thoughts. In fact, when you are a remnant, just closing your eyes is enough to revive your brain. With just a little bit of prayer, it comes alive. Especially for remnants, this becomes something tremendous. Those who are over 25, whose brains are starting to die, must do it all the more, but for remnants it becomes something tremendous. So there is no reason you cannot do it. Why? Because this is the time to gain strength.

I usually concentrate three times a day, and it makes me incredibly happy. And real health comes. There is nowhere I am sick. I almost only sleep two to three hours. I have no problem at all. Doctors might feel a bit offended when they hear this, but it has been 40 years. Sleeping two to three hours. Rather, if you sleep a lot with your mouth open, people who do breathing know—if you sleep a lot with your mouth open you become completely sick. But if you match your breathing well and pray, everything else is compensated. So pray. Yesterday’s message was Spiritual Summit 300%. Why is it 300%? If you do 24, then the Kingdom of God will surely be fulfilled. If you do 25, then re-creation will surely come. Eternity. You must do this. If you are doing this, then as remnants your brain will become far more excellent than others. There is no comparison. And for the pastors, elders, and church leaders here, you will be able to overcome these diseases. You absolutely must do this. You should be doing it even now. It is more comfortable that way.

So this time, the Leader Retreat is about the watchperson. Everyone is bound. You must be the ones who set them free. The churches are all bound. They will not work. Because the churches are bound, because the pastors are bound. They are bound by Jewish thinking, or they are bound by the limitations of the Early Church, so they are in a state where they cannot work. So the remnants must go and do it. Become watchpersons. And set the bound ones free. Coming out of Egypt was not the problem. They did not come out from Satan. Right? Being freed from being a Roman colony was not the real problem. They did not come out from darkness. You must remember this. Then at this Remnant Conference (RCA), the first message is Spiritual Summit 300%.

This is the second session. It must be “Skill Summit 300%.” You must make your studies 300%. We have lost everything. They once selected 100 entrepreneurs who moved the world, and 70% of them came from America. Two came from Japan. None came from Korea. When I saw that, it was already 20 years ago. But what was shocking was that almost all of them belonged to the three organizations. We have lost everything. When we lost prayer, we lost everything. So we absolutely must restore it. Even five minutes—do it. If you just do it for five minutes after you open your eyes, works will arise in you. Even if you do it just 5–10 minutes before you sleep, it is enough. You can do it briefly during the day while you have a tea time. I simply do 24. The standard is your college and university years. You must complete this before you graduate from college and graduate school. Bill Gates completed it. He is a New Age member. Steve Jobs completed it. Is he not a Freemason? Why can we not make it? Because we do not know prayer. People think prayer is very hard. Prayer is spiritual breathing. Prayer is actual breathing. Right? If this is hard, that is a big problem. If breathing is difficult, that is a huge problem.

We have two lifelines. Prayer and breathing. And these have all been stolen from us. So, when we try to do this, what must come first? Prayer 300% must become very easy. Really easy. In the morning, I gain tremendous strength. In the morning, I gain answers to the point that my heart is excited. “Pastor, things are very difficult these days, right?” I have no time for that. That is because they do not really know me, and they do not know prayer. As time passes, all answers come out, so I have no time to worry about such things. When morning comes, I begin comfortable breathing prayer each hour, and I obtain so many things. Today as well, I woke up around 3 o’clock, and how many hours has it been since then? As I keep praying while thinking about meeting you, I am happy. During the day, everything I see and hear is full of answers and blessings. Right? At night I really gain answers. I mainly gain answers in the form of messages at night. I am happy. You must absolutely complete this during your remnant years. You must now store this in your heart. If you do not, you will suffer your whole life. You will have to run errands for unbelievers. Why are we running errands for unbelievers? We should be leading the unbelievers, but if this is not made, then as you go out and grow older you will suffer greatly and then die.

If this is made, even if you did not go to a good university, it is okay. Right? If this is made. But if this is not made, then even if you graduate from a good university, it is useless. A good university just gives you an advantage. Right? It just gives you an advantage for getting a job. That is all. There is nothing actually there. You must make this. You must fix this in your heart. If you make it through prayer it is enough, but because people do not know prayer…

So these three messages this time are very important. And the message you must give when you go back to Christ Covenant Church is all connected. This time the whole set is important. The messages you will give at Christ Covenant Church are these three courtyards. If you do not make the three courtyards, you cannot save America. If you do not open the age of the three-day weekend (Friday–Saturday–Sunday), you cannot save the next generation. If you do not open the age of holy meditation, you cannot be freed from mental illness. In America, people are shooting guns and killing people. That is mental illness. They are not just people who happen to shoot guns. Right? And why are people going up to such high places and jumping off? That is mental illness. They are not just “someone who jumps.” Are we running an airborne unit or something? Do it.

①My 100% (7 bartizans) – So in reality, the 7 bartizans are my 100%. Right?
②Field 100% (7 journeys) – The 7 journeys are the field’s 100%. This is what Jesus talked about.
③System 100% (7 guideposts) – The guideposts placed in each place, that is the system. Understand? Once you understand this, it becomes very easy.

So when I entered university, I knew I would have to study 7–10 years up to graduate school. But when I went to church, I did not even want to talk with the church members because they talked so much nonsense. Right? Of course you dislike it. People who do not know how to pray gather together. If people of prayer gather, it becomes testimony, but this is unavoidable. There is no evidence. Then why on earth are there so many seminaries? Why are there so many pastors? Why are there so many churches that cannot support themselves? The churches are closing. This does not make sense. This is disaster. So I resolved in my heart. Success is not the goal. I must evangelize. Then what must I do? I must prepare the content of evangelism, right? I read every book about evangelism. All of them. But there was no answer. As I realized prayer, I discovered that all the answers were in the Bible. I prepared.

I am sorry to say this, but during the 10 years I studied, I never once went traveling. For two reasons. First, I had no money. And I did not want to travel with money from the church. I went to the field every day. So I discovered the field. And then what did I prepare as the final 100%? How will I evangelize? I also found that in the Bible. As soon as I came out, works began. It is real. I have no need to boast. The answers just kept coming. I did nothing well. They just kept coming. Wherever I went, people came to the church. Works arose everywhere I went. It is not hard. So if someone asks, “If you become a pastor, how do you evangelize?” what should we say? That is the same as asking, “If you become a judge, how do you carry out trials?” I am just using myself as an example.

▶Introduction: Priority – Answer
Then how do we make this? First, in the introduction, try this first. I will first talk about what is priority. When I began this prayer and saw the blessings of 24/25/eternity, what was the first thing that came? Two things came to the remnants first. What came first? They realized what the adults did not know. Joseph realized what his older brothers could not understand. David realized what his older brothers could not understand. With just a little prayer, you see how serious spiritual problems are. Do not worry. If you are doing this, they just disappear.

Is this not 300%? The bartizan that Christ gave us is not lacking. It is 100%. It not only guards your steps, but the promise He gave about the journey is not 99% but 100%. The guideposts that God has prepared for you are 100%. And there is something else. When you go to the local field, God will tell you what the field leaders do not know. For example, Joseph realized what his brothers did not know, what his father did not know. He went to Egypt and told the king what he did not know. How can there be any competition? There is no one to compete with you. You can go as a nobody. You can go as nothing. You can go to the side of absolute impossibility. Why? Because you know the answer of absolute possibility. So in one word, what is it? You took it with you. And when you go, you see it. It becomes like that. You already have it. Then because you go on a journey, when you actually go there, you see more. Is evangelism something separate? Jesus is the Christ. You must give the answer here. If you do not give the answer, it is not evangelism. In the workplace, you must hold such answers that the people in your workplace quietly come to you and ask you things.

▶Main – Now let me talk only about the important things you absolutely must do.

1. 7/7/7 Prayer – “Talent 100%”
If you pray holding onto what Christ has given you, what comes first? This comes first. Your talent must be realized in order for you to make 300%. You must enjoy it for your entire life, and if you do this prayer, it will surely come out. But the churches do not pray the prayer Jesus taught. How can the church be using the same vocabulary as the Pharisees? They use Pharisee vocabulary. They use the words Jesus told them not to use. Right? Jesus said that the “blessings” we talk about now are not true blessings. Jesus said the prayers we are doing now are wrong. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,” He said. And He spoke about the Kingdom of God for 40 days. But whatever spirit they received, they cut out everything Jesus told them to do. So who is heretical? The heretic is the one who does what Jesus said not to do and does not do what Jesus told us to do. Jesus pleaded with them for 40 days. If you just do this, your talent will come out.

1)Bible
First. Read books that give you strength. Do not read many books. Read books that give you strength. And derive your answers from the Bible. The answers must come from the Bible for them to be correct. I read hundreds of books about evangelism, but the answer came from the Bible.

2)Christ
Study great figures who give you strength. Do not do what does not give you strength. You have no time. Do things that give you strength. So I read about one great figure a day. There are books. And then derive your answers in Christ.

3)3 Feasts
And you must know cultures in order to do missions. Culture is mainly about seasons and feasts. Wherever you go, you must know the feasts accurately. And we proclaim the three feasts. Right? The Passover of salvation, the Pentecost of power, and the Feast of Ingathering with the background of the throne. That is enough.

4)Worship
And what is next? You must know what prayer is. You must know what worship and prayer are. You must know what this is. When it becomes like this, what happens? All answers must come during worship. For church leaders, if the answer for your entire life does not come from the pastor’s sermon, it is fake. “I am okay without worship.” That person is someone the earth does not really need. Right? All the unbelievers are receiving disaster. All the powerful nations have received disasters. The Jews have received disaster. So you must understand what “only Christ” means. Worship…

5)Only
From this point on, three things come. In the last session I will talk about them. In order for you to become culture summits, you must have three terms, and from this point, the talents God gives you come out. I will talk about this in the third session. This is what we call “only.” You studied the same as others, but your talent—this is “only.” It is what God has given you.

6)Uniqueness
Then expertise comes. This is what we call “uniqueness.”

7)Recreation
And then what is next? You begin to see the world and the field. Right? That is re-creation.

You absolutely must find this. There is nothing else you need to do. Why would I talk about other people? I have no time. Really. After I realized prayer, I have no time. I always have a memo pad in my pocket. I do not wear clothes without pockets. Why? Because as I realize things in prayer, I must always write them down. I have no time to worry. When a problem comes, I finish it in 5 minutes. I find the answer and have no time to worry.

2. Field 300%
Once you have done this 100%, now you must do the field 100%. Since your talent has come out, from now on three things come out.

1)Edit
Continually do editing. Of course, the answer comes from the Word. There are several things that I continually edit. Evangelism. Continually. Prayer. Even now, I read books about breathing. Healing. And the fishing I enjoy—it is all 24. When I go into my lodging, I turn on the fishing channel. And I always do breathing prayer. I constantly think about evangelism. Then that is enough. You absolutely must do this. Continually edit.

2)Plans
Then God’s plan becomes visible. We call this design in advance—“planning,” or “mapping it out.” Editing and planning…

3)Design
Then you must continually prepare while looking at the field. We call this “design.”

I am now explaining how to do this. How you must live, and how you must do it. Why would you not do this prayer that gives you health and power? Jesus told us to do it. Paul said he always did it. He said he prayed without ceasing. He said he prayed at all times. So what they do, gathering in Freemason halls and doing this and that—that is all in vain. We must do 24. Why do they do such things? They end up with spiritual problems. I once told a Buddhist monk, “Why did you shave such a perfectly good head, climb up a mountain, and sit up there like that? Come down!” It is all in vain. Some people sit there for years. I just think they are pitiful. “Do you have more spiritual problems now?” He said, yes, he has more. They increase. 24, 25, eternity—that is what they are. Of course, when we pray together, united prayer is something different. Right? But you personally must do 24. So at the Leader Retreat, we used the word “watchperson.” A watchperson does 24. A watchperson cannot just fall asleep when they feel sleepy. A watchperson cannot go on some trip whenever they want. You have brains, so apply this rightly. Truly do everything in prayer.

3. Future 300%
You must prepare 100% for the future. There is an important standard here.

1)Evangelism
What you study, the business you do, the work or store you run, all of it must be related to the gospel and evangelism.

2)237
Second. It must be related to 237 nations.

3)5,000
And it must be related to the 5,000 tribes.

Even so, in America there are many remnants who will move the world. Please pray, because this is so important. Our friend Eddie came to me and asked, “What should we do about the three courtyards?” I said, “It is simple! In Korea, in our church, we will start full-scale training. Make the three courtyards. Then after they are trained, you must manage them. To manage them, you must make at least one place in America.” He said he will do it. So I thought, “As expected, there are still people in America.” No matter how much we talk about the three courtyards in Korea, they do not understand what we mean. They must understand. If you do not know the three courtyards, you cannot do world evangelization.

♠Conclusion
Let me conclude. If I say too much you will become tired. Then what is the standard conclusion that tells me that I have received answers?

1)10 Secrets
This is the standard. You can survive alone. Right? That is the first standard. As a remnant, it is okay wherever you are. It is okay whatever situation you meet. It is okay whether you live or die. Look at Daniel. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego said, “Even if we go into the fire, God will rescue us. Even if He does not rescue us, it is okay.” You cannot stop such people. What is the second secret? We do not look at reality. We see the spiritual facts. Reality… you do not know this, but behind reality there is another layer of facts. The MBC broadcast said we must not eat American beef, that mad cow disease would break out. That was reality. Do you know this? But the actual facts were different. They did that to oppose America. The truth was separate. It was a war of ideologies. Right? Was it not? If you hear such things… So we see spiritual facts. Among the 10 secrets, what is the third? Reverse thinking. The answer is on the opposite side. Joseph’s answer was inside the prison. What can you do about that? And what else? Remnants do not go somewhere to harm or benefit someone in that sense. They save everyone. Synergy. So they choose crisis. Remnants have no competitors. They do not compete. They have no need to compete. In the future, as you go out, you must receive answers with no need to compete. What is the seventh secret for remnants? Re-creation. What is the eighth secret? Becoming the spiritual summit. What is the ninth secret? Nobody, nothing. Why is that? What is the final secret? The absolute. I am talking about standards.

2)24/25/eternity
What are you doing right now? You must be doing it now. That is the standard. So what did Potiphar say to Joseph? He said, “God is with you in everything and blesses you in all you do.” That is the standard. When Daniel went into the lions’ den, what did the king say? “The God whom you continually serve will save you.” That is it.

Right now you must be praying. As you listen to the message, you must be inside prayer. That is all. If you do not have the strength to worship and you just fall asleep, then it is over. I am sorry, but do not lend money to such people. You will not get it back. You will not know when they will repay you. If an elder cannot endure one hour of worship because they are sick and keeps dozing, I could understand. But some people are perfectly healthy and still doze. At other times their eyes shine brightly. It is strange, is it not? When they talk about others their eyes sparkle, but when they worship they fall asleep. They do not have this strength. Understand? This is the standard.

3)Summit
Third. Have a kind of “misunderstanding that is not really a misunderstanding.” Do it. Even if this is not your reality yet, say, “I am a summit!” “I am a summit more important than President Trump.” It seems like a misunderstanding, but it is not. Understand? “I am a remnant. I am a summit!” A remnant texted me once, saying, “I went to some town in America, and suddenly that region began to develop. The reason is that I am there.” I replied, “That’s right!” Be confident and sure. You must have such pride. Right? When difficulties come, the time is now, not later. Did the seven remnants not face hardships? That is the reality that exists now. It is not the spiritual fact. “I am a summit!”

Let us give a round of applause to the Triune God who has called you. I will give the final message this evening.

Prayer. We give glory to God. We offer praise to God who has called the remnants. Make them summits who save the world. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, King of kings, and the eternal love of our God, and the working of the Holy Spirit who gives us strength to carry out world evangelization, be upon all the remnants, especially upon the remnants in America, from now on and forevermore. Amen.
