▣ Introduction_ Hold on to the Living and Active Word – The Standard of Worship and Prayer
Thank you. This is the question that our remnants overseas ask the most. “There is no place to worship.” Also, “It is difficult because the church is going through trials.” These are the contents they mention the most. What should they do? We must find the answer today.

Also, there are important multiethnic people here today. From my perspective, they are more important than congressmen or ministers. How should they properly feel this value?

Also, our church leaders are here. And there are many listening to this message across the nation and the world. What should they do? You must take this with you today.

Also, some may say, “I am in hardship.” “I am in great trial.” “I am in conflict.” What should you do?

1. Jesus Christ who defeated Satan with the Word of God (Matthew 4:1-11)
   Let me first give an example. When Jesus was fasting for 40 days, Satan came to Him. It was a very important timetable. And Satan even dared to approach Jesus Christ. He gave three temptations. We must take note.

1) Temptation through physical needs
Satan knew He was very hungry and brought a stone that looked like bread, saying, “Turn it into bread and eat it.” In the Korean Bible it says “rice cake,” but in English it says “bread.” What is this? It is temptation through physical needs. Jesus defeated it with the Word.

2) Temptation using pride and self-esteem
The second temptation is something we must surely know. “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from the temple.” He even quoted Scripture: “The angels will come and lift you up so you will not strike your foot.” What is this? Satan uses our pride and self-esteem to destroy us. Of course, Jesus overcame with the Word.

3) Temptation to change the object of worship
When that didn’t work, Satan brought out the real temptation. This is the true one. “I will give you all of this.” This enormous Satan told Jesus he would give Him everything. What if he said to you, “I will give you one thousand trillion”? Many would change their heart. “I will give you one thousand trillion if you just do this one thing.” What was it? “Bow down to me just once.” This is important. Change the object of worship. Do not worship God. That’s what he said. Then you will get everything.

Satan tempts in three ways. He destroys you using your physical needs. He destroys you with useless pride and self-esteem. And finally, with money: “I will give you everything. Isn’t money the greatest? I will give it all. Just don’t worship God.” That’s what it is.

So then, today, you are missing something in worship. That is what the remnants must grab hold of. These precious multiethnic people are here, perhaps only once in their lifetime, what must they take with them? That is what is being spoken of here.

We must know the temptations Satan gave. Jesus quoted three verses from Deuteronomy and struck Satan down. Though He could have defeated Satan with His own authority, Jesus broke him with the Word of God. “Then Satan left Him, and the angels came and ministered to Him.” That is how it is recorded.

2. Historical examples
   Let me give you the answer right away: Hold on to the living and active Word. This is the standard of worship. This is the standard of prayer. If you don’t catch this, you must keep going until you do.

1) Rockefeller
Let me give an example: Rockefeller. His mother told him, “On Sundays, go to church one hour early. Pray deeply. Find out beforehand what passage the pastor will preach on. Hold onto that Word and pray during the six days that it will work as living and active. Since you are a businessman, earn much money and give offering—that is the best way you can live your life of faith.” John D. Rockefeller Sr. actually did this. And what happened? The living and active Word came upon him. His business flourished beyond words, and he established 24 universities.

This is what many of you don’t know—what to do after worship. It’s true. Many don’t know what to do after coming to worship on Sunday. Instead of holding on to the living Word of God, we hold on to other things. That is a great loss.

2) Wanamaker
This morning in the elders’ meeting I shared this: Wanamaker once said, “For me, teaching children in Sunday school and worshiping on the Lord’s Day is more important than being a government minister.” He said this when he was actually appointed as a minister. What would an ordinary believer say? “How important it is to be a minister! Not everyone can be one. But anyone can serve in Sunday school.” They would say, “Hallelujah! I’m a minister.” And to get it, they would even lie in their confirmation hearings. But Wanamaker said no.

This is not about whether being a minister is important or Sunday school is important. What he meant is this: holding onto the Word in worship on the Lord’s Day and making it living and active—that is how he became the department store king of the world. This is what we are missing.

3) Lincoln (Galatians 3:28)
Another example: Lincoln. You know how he faced continual failures. Yet he held on to one thing: the living and active Word. Even in the midst of failure, he held on to it. He held on to Galatians 3:28. And he changed the world. The work of the Word continued to happen. This is what you must hold on to. Remnants, this is beyond words.

3. Biblical examples
   Let’s look at biblical examples. We just saw historical ones, now let’s look at the Bible.

1) Joseph
He was sold to a place where no one could help him. Joseph. But Joseph held on to the living and active Word. In Potiphar’s house, God worked. Even in the fields, God worked. Though falsely accused and imprisoned, he held on to the living and active Word. He became governor. This is not just a story. If you lose hold of this on Sunday and throughout the week, you lose everything. Even if pastors have a hundred doctorates, world evangelization won’t happen without the work of the Word.

2) Jochebed
A great crisis arose: all the babies were to be killed. But Jochebed prayed and held on to the covenant. She realized, “Only God is living.” “Only the gospel is living.” And she thought, “Where will the gospel be revealed and spread the most? In the palace. I will send my son there with the living covenant and Word.” And an astonishing work took place.

3) Moses
That covenant eventually came to Moses. Before he turned 80, he had the covenant, but he didn’t hold on to the living and active Word. That’s why God appeared to him at Mt Horeb: “Go, offer the blood sacrifice. Speak to Pharaoh. Speak to the people before Pharaoh. Speak to the elders before the people. Tell them the Lord has spoken. I will be with you with My mighty hand.” Moses said, “I can’t.” “I am not able.” The living Word and Moses had nothing to do with each other. “I am too old. I am not eloquent. I am a fugitive.” But in Exodus 4:24, God came to take Moses’ life. After telling him to go to Pharaoh in Exodus 3, in chapter 4, God came to take him. What does this mean? Simply: “Will you go or die?” Moses chose to go, because that was better than death. From then on, the living and active Word began to appear to Moses.

4) Joshua
The same happened with Joshua. God said, “I have given you the land of Canaan.” Not “I will give,” but “I have given.” “As I was with Moses, so I will be with you. Do not fear. Be strong and courageous. I am with you.” This meant great works would happen. From then on, the Word lived and worked through Joshua.

5) Rahab the prostitute
What did she see? She heard the news, and she saw the living and active Word. Many Israelites who saw it did not realize it, but Rahab heard the news and held on to the Word.

6) Jeremiah
Next week’s sermon, but I’ll mention it: “The Word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time.” The living Word of God came to him. What happened?

7) David
The most afflicted man in the Old Testament was David. But the reason he received the greatest covenant was not just because of answers here and there, but because he held on to the fulfillment of the living and active Word of God.

※ John Bunyan
Today’s passage is also about captivity. What covenant did they hold? This is important: How would this Word live and work?

John Bunyan, as you know, was imprisoned 16 years for the gospel. Sixteen years in prison is no small matter. But the issue was not age or losing everything—while there, he experienced the living and active Word. From that came Pilgrim’s Progress.

So, without many words, you must catch this: “Ah, this is how I must worship, and how I must live during the week.” You must catch this.

▣ Main point: Daniel who resolved in his heart when he became a captive
When Daniel became a captive, he resolved in his heart. You must resolve in your heart. What must you do? He resolved it. He knew why they were captured. He knew why they were destroyed. Then what should he do here? He resolved it.

1. He held on to the covenant to be fulfilled – Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14)
   First, he held on to the covenant to be fulfilled. We must not hold on to covenants that will not be fulfilled.

Who gave this covenant? Isaiah did. Daniel held on to it. The most important word Isaiah gave was this: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” Daniel held on to the covenant of Immanuel—God with us.

Isaiah spoke of five great things. Daniel held them. What are they?

1) The remnants will rise and bring restoration (Isaiah 6:13)
This was the first: “The remnants will rise and bring restoration.” Daniel held on to this.

2) The Word that works forever (Isaiah 40:8, 31)
“You will hold on to the power of God’s Word. Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Word of the Lord is the Word that works forever.”

3) The power of the Word (Isaiah 43:18-19)
In Isaiah 43:18-19, he explained the power of God’s Word: “A way will be made in the wilderness. Rivers will flow in the desert. Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing.”

4) Arise, shine your light (Isaiah 60:1-22)
“Arise, shine your light. The glory of the Lord has already risen upon you. Your posterity will return. The third economy will return. The least will become a thousand, the weakest a mighty nation. I the Lord will hasten it in its time.”

5) The watchman (Isaiah 62:6-12)
“Set watchmen on the walls. Be a watchman. Do not let the Lord rest day or night. Build up the highway. Raise a banner so that all nations may come.” Daniel held on to this. That’s why he could not but be victorious. Hold on to the covenant that will be fulfilled—the living and active covenant.

2. He held on to the place and timetable of fulfillment
   Second, when and where is the covenant fulfilled? You must hold on to this.

1) The great disaster and crisis in Egypt
In Egypt, when the great disasters came, the power of the Word appeared.

2) The attack of the Philistines
For fourteen generations the Philistines brought suffering, and no one appeared. But David, who was inside the living covenant and Word, arose and defeated them. You must see when it happens.

3) The invasion of Assyria (2 Kings 19:35)
The Assyrians continually oppressed Israel. But one man arose—Hezekiah. When he became king, he sent word to Assyria: “You have oppressed us until now. But I am now king of Israel. From now on, I will not send you tribute.” Why should they send it? Hezekiah was remarkable. Assyria then came with 185,000 soldiers. In 2 Kings 19:35, it says Hezekiah turned to the wall and prayed with all his life. He prayed for the power of the Word to work. And that night, God called away the 185,000 Assyrian soldiers. The Bible records: “The angel of the Lord went out and struck down 185,000 in the Assyrian camp.” I believe this. Why? Because when you go to heaven, the angels also come to take you. No one goes alone. Likewise, those going to hell are dragged by Satan. That’s why unbelievers scream when they are about to die—they are terrified. But the saved are accompanied by angels, sometimes even singing hymns as they depart.

4) The attack of Aram (2 Kings 6:8-23)
When Aram continually attacked Israel, Elisha was at Dothan, raising disciples and remnants, praying. There the living Word of God was proclaimed, testified, and taught. Aram learned of this. “Why is Israel always one step ahead of us? Do we have spies?” They answered, “No, there is a man who sees everything—Elisha in Dothan.” The king commanded: “Capture him alive and bring him.” So the Aramean army surrounded Dothan. But the Bible records: “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” God made them surrender, and Israel won without fighting.

3. They were inside the fulfilled covenant
   Third, they were inside the fulfilled covenant. Not about what will be fulfilled—they were already inside the fulfilled covenant. These were people who were already filled with the power of the Word Isaiah had prophesied. Five people stood out at that time.

1) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3:16-18)
Nebuchadnezzar built an idol and commanded all to bow. These three did not. The king was astonished and said, “Bow. I will give you one more chance.” But they replied, “We do not need to defend ourselves in this matter. Even if God does not rescue us, we will not bow.” The power of the Word appeared in Babylon and saved the 237 nations.

2) Daniel (Daniel 6:10, 16, 20-22)
Another was Daniel. Though in captivity, the living Word began to work greatly in him. He interpreted Nebuchadnezzar’s dream and Belshazzar’s writing on the wall. In the time of King Darius, who loved Daniel deeply, politicians plotted against him. They tricked the king into signing a law that anyone who worshiped another god must die. Darius approved it. Daniel knew about it, but “as before, he prayed three times a day toward Jerusalem, giving thanks and worshiping.” He could not be stopped. When thrown into the lions’ den, the king cried out, “Daniel, servant of the Most High God, has your God whom you serve continually rescued you?” From the den came Daniel’s voice: “O king, live forever. Last night the angel of the Lord shut the mouths of the lions, and they did not harm me.”

3) Esther (Esther 2:10, 4:14-16)
Another was Esther. She became queen. Mordecai told her first: “Do not reveal that you are a Jew.” Later, when all Jews were about to be destroyed, he told her, “Now reveal it.” In Esther chapters 2 and 4, we see how someone inside the living and active Word of God could see what to do.

▣ Conclusion_ The Living and Active Word
Today, forgive me for speaking so long, but simply hold onto this: the living and active Word. Is this possible? It was for me.

1. Poverty, incompetence, and disease
   When I was young, I faced poverty, incompetence, and disease. I had no ability to evangelize. I was incompetent, poor, and sick. But I challenged so that God’s covenant Word would work. Today I still minister with this: “Do evangelism this way. Do healing this way. Work in 300% this way.”
2. Hardship
   I once faced a time when it seemed absolutely impossible. Then I began to organize God’s living and active Word. After that, world evangelization arose. Meeting you is a blessing. We started here without strength, yet world evangelization arose. Some started here, and others came from across the nation and world to Busan because they truly wanted to evangelize.
3. Hold on to the living and active Word in the future
   What about the future? I believe you must hold on to the living and active Word. We will go to the 5000 tribes, not just the 237 nations.

If any of you are sick, do not be discouraged. Experience the living and active Word of God. You must experience the power of the Word.

※ Do not give up. Do not limit the spiritual with your own thoughts.
Some say, “My husband cannot change.” “My child cannot change.” Many think this way. But that means you are already imprisoned in your own limits. You must know how God works.

One woman said, “My husband cannot change. He is an alcoholic.” I told her, “That is your thought. Thank God he is alive. He may be used for world evangelization.” She realized something. Her thinking completely changed. That night her husband came home drunk, asked for water, and she brought it saying, “Thank you.” The husband was shocked: “Why are you thankful?” She said, “Thank you for coming home alive. Thank you for not being sick despite drinking so much. God will bless you.” From then, change began.

I am a witness. Many told me it was impossible. But do not be discouraged because of your children. My mother never gave up. She held my feet in prayer and never gave up. One day, the gospel came upon me, the Word came to me, and I gained faith and assurance.

So then, when I repented and went out carrying my Bible and hymnbook, there was the owner of the largest store in our neighborhood, a man who ran a bar. He looked up to the heavens and said, “Surely God is alive.” Isn’t that right? Do not give up. Do not limit the spiritual with your own thoughts. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that from this week, the greatest days will begin.

Prayer. Lord, let today be the day of the covenant. Let us confirm the living Word today. Let us experience it this week. Let it be the beginning. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

237 Missions Committee Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading:  Acts 1:8

---

Today, we must truly understand the secret of world missions. Since most people do not know, it is called a “secret.”

[Best effort, be the best, victory – illness]
Up until now, you were probably taught, “Do your best.” That’s a good saying. You may also have been taught, “Be the best.” And you may have learned, “Fight to win.” So most people live this way. Even the books out there say the same. Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince is about how to win. The Art of War by Sun Tzu is about how to kill the opponent and win. That’s what schools teach. Another is how to deceive others well and take advantage—Han Feizi’s theory.
As a result, disease remains. That is why people get sick. Many who get cancer are those who have endured much, kind people, intelligent people. Those who speak recklessly and say whatever they want often don’t get it. Those with poor intellect often don’t. It’s the ones who have suffered much who do. We shouldn’t just joke about this; we must seriously ask—can this approach accomplish world missions? Even if you succeed with your best effort, world missions will still be impossible.

[Matthew 11:28, Matthew 4:19, Mark 3:13–15, John 16:33, Acts 1:8]
Jesus said, “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened.” He literally said, “Come with your burdens.” “I will give you rest.” “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” This is completely different. Which is correct? What you learned from the world and what Jesus said are completely different. From the moment He called them, He said, “I called you so that you might be with Me, and that I might send you out to preach and to have authority to drive out demons.” “I will give you peace. Take heart! I have overcome the world.” He also said, “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

[Philippians 3:1–21]
The Apostle Paul, who realized this, said in Philippians 3, “I consider what I gained and possessed to be shameful, a loss, garbage.” He considered what the world valued to be trash, because “it kept me from knowing the tremendous secret of the gospel.” People boast about what they have done, but Paul said, “I have done nothing. I have accomplished nothing.” He pursued “what Christ Jesus took hold of me for,” and sought “the prize for which God has called me heavenward.” He said, “Our citizenship is in heaven,” not in Rome, even though Roman citizenship was prized. Having nothing is fine—because “He has given the name that brings all things into submission.”

At WRC, I especially thank our ministers and elders for all their effort. Especially for the overseas guests—you served and helped them, and though it was tiring, the reward is great. Now we must take up the mission of the watchman.

▣ Introduction – The watchman
We must confirm what was given at the Remnant Conference—you have been set as watchmen.

1. 1. Bartizan, journey, guidepost
      We must build the bartizan given by the Lord, go on the journey, and set the guidepost. If our remnants do not know this while young, they will struggle their whole lives.
   2. Imprint, root, nature
      We must change what has been imprinted, rooted, and formed in our nature. Without this, there is no spiritual healing, and world evangelization is impossible.
   3. Only, uniqueness, re-creation
      The method is “only.” You must go with uniqueness, and leave works of re-creation. Without this blessing, remnants will spend their lives worrying about money until they die. I lived that way before knowing the gospel—always worried about food and my children’s studies. But once I received the answer of only, uniqueness, and re-creation, God used me to save many.
   4. The remaining ones, pilgrims, conquerors
      We are remaining ones, called to walk the pilgrim’s path, and to be conquerors to block the darkness.
   5. Start, process, end
      The start is only, the process is the pilgrim’s path, and the end is becoming a conqueror.
   6. 24, 25, eternity
      These are the times of prayer—24, the 25th hour, and eternity.
   7. Those who guard, inform, and save
      The watchman guards, informs so that others will not fall into danger, and if they do, goes to save them.

If you do not know this, you will spend your life serving the world instead of God.

▣ Main

1. 1. The bartizan of only (discovery)
      In fulfilling the 237 world evangelization, you must build the bartizan of only. This is discovery.
   2. The journey of uniqueness (pre-ownership)
      Go on the journey of uniqueness. This is not just discovery—it is pre-ownership.
   3. The guidepost of re-creation (challenge)
      Challenge the guidepost of re-creation.

Only then can you do world missions. Important nations have opened this year, and next year more will open, with many talents coming.

1) The bartizan of only (discovery)
Make yourself 300%. Without it, you cannot evangelize the world. Acts 1:1 – Only Christ. Acts 1:3 – Only the kingdom of God. Acts 1:8 – Only the Holy Spirit.

2) The journey of uniqueness (pre-ownership)
Enjoy 300% of the field. Example: Acts 13:1–4 – be led entirely by the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:5–11 – heal the Nephilim by the Holy Spirit’s work. Acts 13:12 – the proconsul became a disciple.

3) The guidepost of re-creation (challenge)
This is the 300% future—seeing the 237 nations, the 5000 tribes, and matching the path of TCK, CCK, and NCK.

▣ Conclusion

If you hold to this covenant, you will see:

1. 1. John 19:30 – Calvary’s covenant solving past, present, and future.
   2. Acts 1:3 – the things of the kingdom of God.
   3. Acts 2:1–13 – the five flows from Mark’s upper room.
   4. Acts 11:19 – the scattered ones gathered in Antioch.
   5. Acts 13:1 – the first missionary sending.
   6. Acts 16:6–10 – from Troas to Macedonia.
   7. Acts 19:21 – “I must see Rome also.”

The true answer is the fulfillment of the Word and the rise of the life movement and evangelism movement. Your studies, work, and life must be used for world evangelization and saving those trapped in darkness.

Once again, I thank our elders and ministers for their faithful service. Many received grace and left blessed.

Prayer. Thank You, Lord, for receiving our worship and praise. Let us see what You desire. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading:  Isaiah 62:6-12

Thank you. Now, most of the remnants have returned to their fields. During today’s district lesson, I told you to build the secret bartizan. Build it because it will surely be answered. This afternoon in the second service, we will look at the mission of the watchman.

1. The covenant of the watchman
Remnants and you across the nation and the world must become watchmen. The important answer in today’s first service was the covenant of the watchman. This covenant of the watchman has several characteristics.

1. The covenant related to life
This is the covenant given at the crossroads of life and death.
2. The covenant that will change the age
And it is the covenant that will change the age. It is the covenant related to life. Today, you must firmly hold onto the covenant of the watchman.

2. Thoughts – Imprinted in the brain, soul, and throne (Revelation 8:3–5)
Even now, if you ride an airplane, there are times when about 300 people board. Under that airplane, the cargo space is filled with luggage. Sometimes they even load heavy metal objects. And yet, with 300 people on board, the airplane rises straight into the sky. So, every time I fly, I still think, “This is amazing.”
And in 1988, cell phones were this big (large). Calls were often disconnected. But now, they are small, and everything is on them. Looking at both cell phones and airplanes, I thought—someone first thought of it before it was made. Right? Someone made it because they had the thought, “We need to make this.”

So today, your thoughts produce very important results. What you truly think becomes imprinted in your brain. Right? That’s why you shouldn’t speak vain words—they, too, become imprinted. Some people kept saying they would die, and they actually died. Our thoughts are imprinted not only in the brain but also in the soul. And what you are thinking now is imprinted in the throne.

To the Apostle John, who was in great crisis, God gave a vision. From the first day to the last, God showed him all that would happen, and among them, He showed something special—that all the prayers of the saints, not a single one missing, were gathered into a bowl. This is Revelation 8:3–5.

3. Firmly hold onto the covenant of the watchman
So today, you must firmly hold onto the covenant of the watchman to receive answers.

▣ Introduction – What the watchman must believe
To firmly hold onto the covenant, there are certain things you must be sure to believe. Because the part you truly believe will be answered, what is it that you must believe? In the introduction, we will look at several points.

1. Isaiah 6:13 – God has called you
God said, “Whom shall I send?” Isaiah replied, “Here am I. Send me.” Then God said, “Even what remains will be destroyed. But the stump, the remnant, will remain, and it will be the holy seed.” You must believe this. You did not choose God; God called you. If you had chosen Him, you could quit anytime, but because God gave it, it cannot be stopped. He explained the absolute plan. You must confirm daily that you are within God’s absolute plan. That is the true answer. Tomorrow? We don’t know. It must be confirmed daily.

2. Isaiah 7:14 – The absolute covenant
Even more important is Isaiah 7:14. The true answer was given—the absolute covenant: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” This is tremendous. God gave the important, absolute covenant.

3. Isaiah 40:8 – The eternal Word
What else did He say? Isaiah 40: “Go up on a high mountain. Climb to the rooftop. The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord will stand forever.”

4. Isaiah 40:12–31 – The Creator of the ends of the earth; those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength
He said, “Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand? Who can count the dust of the earth? Who can be compared to the Lord?” He continued, “Can something made by human hands be God? The wealthy make gods of gold; the poor make them of wood and paint them—how can that be God? Jacob, why do you say, ‘My cause is disregarded by the Lord’? Do you not know? Have you not heard?” The Creator of the ends of the earth is not like weak human beings. That is why “those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.” Those who hope in Him “will soar on wings like eagles.” He promised this so that we would believe first.

5. Isaiah 43:18–19 – I am doing a new thing
That’s not all. In Isaiah 43:18–19, He said something important again: “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up.” And He said, “I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. Even the wild animals will honor the Lord.” This is the promise He is giving now.

6. Isaiah 60:1–22 – Arise, shine
In Isaiah 60, He says, “Arise, shine.” We saw this last week. When you shine, the remnants will return. When you shine light into the darkness, the three types of economy will be restored. “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.” He promised these things in advance.

※ Faith changes the brain, soul, and everything
But most people did not believe these promises. God worked through those who did. Today and in the end, He gives important promises—do not lose hold of them but hold to the covenant of the watchman. Isaiah’s whole message shows what the watchman must believe. Faith is extremely important—it changes your brain, your soul, and everything. When Abraham believed, God credited it to him as righteousness. In the end, answers come according to what you believe.

▣ Main Point – The covenant of the watchman
At this time, how did God give the covenant of the watchman? He gave it in three ways.

1. The prayer of the watchman (24)
First, this is the prayer of the watchman that you must take with you today. Verse 6 says, “You who call on the Lord, give yourselves no rest day or night.”

1) Since God is with you 24 hours and works, start the prayer of the watchman
God promised remnants and you scattered across the nation and the world, “I will be with you 24 hours. I will answer your 24-hour prayer.” This is very important. The 7 remnants won by holding to this. Start the prayer of the watchman. God works 24 hours. What does this mean? I understand it a little. When you are in true difficulty, there is no other way. You must hold to the prayer of the watchman in which God works 24 hours.

2) Joseph (Genesis 39:2–6, 41:38)
One day, he was sold to human traffickers. This was Joseph. He didn’t know how far he would have to go. It wasn’t like riding a train today—he was dragged there. He went with other slaves, handed over to merchants. Of course, they gave him some food along the way, but he couldn’t sleep well or wash. Joseph was dragged all the way to Egypt. Without the 24-hour prayer of the watchman, he could not have overcome.
As a slave, he had no set prayer time. He had to truly restore prayer. He restored 24. God’s work arose in Potiphar’s house. This is the answer you must receive. “The Lord was with Joseph,” and the unbelievers saw it and said, “The Lord is with you.” Even when he was falsely accused and sent to prison, he overcame. An unbeliever said, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God?” Leaders around the nation and world must look at our remnants and see that they are those moved by the Spirit of God. God wants to give you this secret.

3) David (Psalm 23:1–6)
Look at David—he was chased for many years in the midst of death. “I will fear no evil, for Your rod and Your staff comfort me. The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” With this secret, he overcame. Our remnants must hold this as their covenant.
How should you pray? You must be able to pray anywhere. Setting a fixed time to pray is, frankly, a kindergarten-level prayer. Right? Of course, when there are special occasions, we can gather to pray in a set place—but that’s like a child’s prayer. Remnants who will move the world must be able to pray anywhere.

4) Prepare for prayer 300%
You must prepare for prayer 300%. You must surely hold this as your covenant. And you must receive the answer. Shouldn’t the evangelism movement arise through you? If no evangelism movement arises, no matter how big something is, it is not an answer. The whole world is dying—through you, churches must come alive, people must be saved, and God’s work must happen. That’s why you must prepare for prayer 300%.

5) Isaiah 7:14 – Christ works invisibly through the Holy Spirit
The key verse is Isaiah 7:14: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” This is the core of Isaiah’s message. Christ is with you, working invisibly through the Holy Spirit. This is 24. Do not worry at all—pray 24 hours.

6) John 19:30, Matthew 28:18–20, Acts 1:8 – He gave us the bartizan of the throne to enjoy 24 hours
The power of the throne is yours. Christ clearly said, “It is finished.” He said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me,” and He promised, “I will give you the authority to overcome.” He promised to make you witnesses to the ends of the earth. He gave you this tremendous bartizan to enjoy 24 hours. Remnants and you across the nation and world must restore this.

※ 24 – Simply pray when you open and close your eyes, and anywhere. Change every field into prayer
How do you pray? You don’t even need to ask—just 24. Is 24 possible? Just open your eyes and pray. No need to set it. When you truly want to pray, you can’t be bound to a set time—you just pray. It’s like exercise—if you really want to do it, you can’t only go when you have booked a gym; you just do it anywhere. That’s 24.
If a remnant can pray, it doesn’t matter where they are. Just close your eyes and pray. Open your eyes and pray. Change every field into prayer. In that simple principle, amazing things happen.

7) Daniel (Daniel 6:16, 20)
The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you.” This means the king had observed Daniel—“Ah, this man prays continually.” Even at the end, the king asked, “Daniel, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you?”

※ Remnants – Move the world and the bartizan through 24-hour prayer
Do not worry. Remnants—move the world through 24-hour prayer. Move the bartizan through 24-hour prayer. Then just wait.

2. The preparation of the watchman
Second, what must the watchman prepare? Verse 10 says, “Build up the highway.”

1) Build up the highway so that you will never again become slaves, captives, vassals, or wanderers
If you don’t, you’ll end up as slaves. Build the highway so you will never again be taken captive. This is the mission God gave and the promise He made. Build it so you will never again be a vassal state or a wanderer.

2) Open the highway to go on the important journey that comes from Isaiah 7:14
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.” From this comes an important journey. Open the highway to go on that journey. When you prepare a road, people can come and go. Build a great highway. Every advanced nation has expressways. In the same way, build the highway. Before Rome conquered the world, it built roads first.

3) Build up the highway to go on the journey of the covenant
Build the highway so you can go on the journey of the covenant. Just as Christ came out as the main figure in today’s passage, God promised this.
(1) God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are still accomplishing three things even now. Go on that path.
(2) The footstool of the throne
You have the ten footstools of the throne for your journey—go using them as your foundation.
(3) The 10 secrets to surely win
Go holding the 10 secrets to surely win. God never loses in any circumstance.
(4) The 5 assurances of the throne
Go with the 5 assurances of the throne. He explained and foretold Immanuel.
(5) The 9 flows of the throne
Go with the 9 flows of the throne that quietly change the world.
(6) The lifelong answer
Give the lifelong answer to the people you meet.
(7) Today is the camp
Today itself is the camp. This is the journey—go on it now. Build the highway.

3. The mission of the watchman
Third, what mission did He give? What covenant? “Lift up a banner for all peoples.” Prepare the banner for all peoples.

1) Prepare in accordance with the 237 nations, the 5000 tribes, and the TCK, CCK, and NCK
Remnants must change their prayer. Prepare in accordance with the 237 nations. Prepare in accordance with the 5000 tribes. Prepare in accordance with TCK, CCK, and NCK.
Most people don’t really understand this yet. In Africa, about one-third of the dying 5000 tribes are there. The fastest place to reach them is the small island nations of Oceania. This is no coincidence. If you were placed among the 5000 tribes, you couldn’t survive even ten days without preparation. Another 5000 tribes are scattered across South America. Others are in Southeast Asia. You must be prepared to go there. That’s why we have begun full-scale prayer and preparation.
Several things will happen in the future. If the 5000 tribes are left alone, many diseases from them will sweep across the world. Just as our country once received help in hardship, we must help them. The doors will gradually open. This year’s remnant conference will be different, and the next even more so. God will surely fulfill this work.

2) Create your work 300%
Remnants—create your work 300%. If you are not aligned with the 237, you will be eliminated. If you cannot save the 5000 tribes, your occupation is useless. Pray well about this. Prepare 300%. God gave this covenant clearly.
“Give Him no rest.” That means, “I will be with you 24 hours and answer you.” “Build up the highway”—if there is a road, they will come. “Lift up a banner for all peoples.” Especially our Immanuel Church must build up the highway. Here, while discussions are important, identity is even more important. World-class talents will gather here—what will you do then? Even now, those truly in the gospel movement, when they come to Korea, visit here. World-moving figures are here now—you must open your eyes quickly.
I am praying. If God answers, I will proceed. We need a house in the middle of Seoul where our remnants can live whenever they come, where hundreds can live freely, pray, and receive training. Where they sleep matters. Whether this highway is built or not depends on who will do it. If you do not, I will. God will work. You’ll see. This church used to be the Immanuel Retreat Center—I told the director to sell it to me. He refused and ran away, but in the end, it became ours. This is an amazing training ground—but what training will we do here?
“Lift up a banner for all peoples.” We don’t need to ask for money. If we are prepared, God will pour out the economy of light, the mission economy, and the remnant economy. Isaiah 60 promised it.

3) How can world evangelization be done?
Remnants, from now on, stop thinking, “How can I just eat well and live well?” Prepare for, “How can I do world evangelization?” If your goal is just to eat well and live well until you die—are you an animal? Abandon that level of thinking. God did not call you for that. He said, “Arise, shine.” Those in darkness will come—it is natural. You must prepare boldly. Don’t worry about sickness—do 24. Then it’s done. What about future problems? Don’t worry—do 24. Prepare the highway. Lift up the banner for all peoples.

▣ Conclusion – Those who held to this covenant
Most did not believe this message. Some even killed Isaiah. Imagine—after receiving such an incredible message, they killed Isaiah. Do you know the charge they gave him? It’s ridiculous—he prophesied what would happen in Babylon, so they charged him as “pro-Babylon.” Whether they have the gospel or not—if they don’t, they are a problem; if they do, they still cause trouble.

1) Daniel, who resolved
Who held this covenant? Daniel. He knew why he was taken captive—he resolved in his heart. He became the one who saved the king.

2) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who did not fear death
Who held this covenant? Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. They did not fear death. They said, “Even if the Lord does not rescue us, we will not serve your gods.”

3) As he had done before
The world is full of those trying to harm others. They plotted to kill Daniel. Remnants—take note of this. Because God’s work arose through Daniel, they researched day and night to find a weakness. They discovered that Daniel prayed formally to God. The politicians schemed before the king. They made a law that anyone who worshiped any god other than the king would be put to death. The king was pleased and signed it. Then they accused Daniel. He had no defense. But Daniel was unmoved. What does the record say? Knowing this, “as he had done before,” he prayed. Do not lose hold of “as he had done before.” “He knelt toward Jerusalem” and prayed, giving thanks. You know the result.

4) “If I perish, I perish.”
No one believed, but Esther held this covenant. One person saved the nation—“If I perish, I perish.”

Remnants and all evangelists across the nation and world—hold to the covenant of the watchman. Don’t wait until next week. What covenant did you receive this week? Hold to the covenant of the watchman. Pray all day today until this is imprinted. There’s no time—hold to it and pray all day. See what result comes. Even just from worship, you will be victorious.
To all remnants across the nation and world and all our church leaders—may today be a day of great grace. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer. Lord, give us new grace today. Let us experience new power in deep prayer. Establish the bartizan that will never let the fire go out before You 24 hours. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

WRC World Remnant United Worship
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 60:20-22

▣ Introduction_ The healing of light
We are offering our WRC community worship. Now the newcomers are organizing the message, wondering how to conclude. The remnants have well organized the messages, but how should they conclude? Especially, those abroad, and especially our church leaders—how should they conclude? What about our pastors—how should they conclude their ministry?
There remains a hidden issue. Among the 5000 tribes, there are inexpressible hidden sufferings. Evil spirits, spirit possession, energy movements—these are beyond imagination. I heard from one missionary that they cannot even enter some areas.
We go to cities, get off planes, sleep in hotels—who can’t do that? But powerful nations like the U.S. are even more deeply and secretly seized by Nephilim. Whether they do not know or are pretending not to know, in any case, they keep their mouths shut. As a result, they can’t endure any longer, leading to addiction, suicide, mental illness, and so on.
So, one final answer remains to conclude everything—the healing of light. We must heal through this light. The word “light” is easy to understand because it’s the opposite of darkness, right?

1. What you must first know
There are three things you must know before we begin the main point. Before entering the main message, there are three things to briefly understand.

1) The greatest sin of the believer – not knowing what the light is
What is the greatest sin of the believer? Stealing someone’s fig on the way? No. The greatest sin, the sin that brings disaster—is it telling a few lies? That won’t bring great disaster. I lie all the time: “Did you eat breakfast?” “Ah, yes, I did,” when I didn’t. I lie constantly. “Let me treat you to a meal…” “Ah, I’m full…” when I’m actually hungry. Does that mean I’m going to hell? Do you know what the real, great sin is? It is not knowing what the light is. So, there are three things you must quickly grasp.

(1) The light of creation (Genesis 1:1–3)
God created light by His Word. This light is not ordinary light. It is the light of creation.

(2) Jesus Christ, who was sent as the light (John 1:4, 9, 12)
Jesus Christ was sent, and He was sent as the light. Right?

(3) The light of glory (Isaiah 60:1)
In Isaiah 60:1, it says “the light of glory.” “The glory of the LORD.” “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

(4) You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14)
Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth.”

(5) A royal priesthood, called to declare the light (1 Peter 2:9)
In 1 Peter 2:9, “You are a royal priesthood, called to declare this light.” If you simply shine this light, darkness will flee. Disasters will disappear. The sick will be healed. Truly, when this light of life comes, the sick are healed. Enjoying this is prayer. Not knowing this is the greatest sin.

2) If we do not proclaim this light, disasters will come upon the future generation
The second thing to know from the introduction is this—if we do not proclaim this light, disasters will come upon the future generation. Right? It’s inevitable. They will perish if we don’t proclaim this light.

3) God sends the future generation as slaves, captives, colonized people, and wanderers to make them shine the light
The third thing you must first understand is this—God sends your future generation as slaves, captives, colonized people, and wanderers. There, He makes them shine the light.

2. Experience through the Word and prayer what happens when the light shines
If you have one remaining prayer experience, it should be to experience what happens when the light shines.

1) Christ shone His light on Paul on the road to Damascus
When Paul went to Damascus, Christ shone His light. It was not like sunlight—it was truly the light of creation. You may experience this on your way to Damascus, but the best way is to experience it now through the Word and prayer.
I tell remnants, “It’s important to overcome a major accident, but more important is to experience God’s power through prayer.”
There’s a friend who was hit by a truck and thrown 50 meters but survived. I asked how it felt. He limped a little but wasn’t in pain at the moment of impact. That’s common when hit hard. The pain came later, at the hospital. I shared the gospel with him: “Surviving the truck accident is good, but more important is to experience God’s power without being hit.”

Another friend from Busan went to Gangwon Province. A truck crossed the line. He forgot everything and thought it was over. But he lived. He was unconscious for three months and woke up in Busan. His mind was fine, just his leg injured. I said, “You say you experienced God’s power, but next time, experience it through prayer and the Word without getting hit.”

2) God and Christ are the light. You are the light of the world
Right? When the Word and prayer shine the light, amazing things happen. Here’s the answer: “God is light, Christ is light, and you are the light.” That’s what was said. The conclusion must come quickly: “You are the light of the world.” Most believers do not believe this.

One busy elder asked, “How can I evangelize?” I said, “Don’t evangelize. In your position, handing out tracts will only bring criticism. Just stay still. You are the light. Then those in darkness will come. Just explain briefly then.” Right? We think evangelism is running around with tracts, but that’s not it.

Didn’t I share this before? A judge doesn’t go straight into trials but must train first. He ran errands for a senior judge and gave a gift—a sermon tape. The senior judge listened and was shocked: “This is exactly my family’s story. Why did he give me this?” He summoned him and asked, “What is this?” “A sermon from my church.” He accepted Christ. Later, he asked, “Can you share this with my family?” “I can come every day.” This kind of thing happens.

3) The light of Christ will shine where you are
Because you do not believe you are the light, darkness is running wild. This darkness is strange—it knows you well. It knows where to strike. This darkness has personality—it’s powerful. Today, believe this: where you are, the light of Christ will shine.

At a youth retreat, I told them, “Go once to a demon-possessed fortune teller. They’ll recognize you immediately.” Light is visible. A woman went to a fortune teller. He said, “Why did you, a daughter of God, come here?” She fled immediately. She realized, “I am saved.”

After this sermon, my daughter visited a fortune teller and told me he didn’t recognize her. I said, “That’s a fake. There are fakes who pretend without demons.” Know this incredible blessing.

3. Just rise and shine the light
So rise and shine the light. Remember this well: God is light. Christ is light. Not just any light—the light of creation, the light of life. You, the saved, are the light. This is the light to be proclaimed. Right? You must go with this. Without the light, there is no healing. Darkness, being disaster, cannot be healed. Without light, you cannot overcome the power of hell. Who hates the light most? Satan’s authority. Without light, you cannot overcome. Rise and shine the light.

▣ Main point_ The answer of what is rightful, necessary, and absolute
Naturally, certain answers come. If you go a little further, they come necessarily. Even if it seems things are not working, if you continue, you will see what is absolute.

1. The light that heals the future generation (Isaiah 60:1)
What is the first? It is the light that heals the future generation. It is stated in Isaiah 60. “Arise, shine your light.”

1) Verse 4
In verse 4, it says, “Your sons and daughters will return from afar.” What does this mean? Sons and daughters who were scattered and suffering will return.

2) Verse 8
In verse 8, “They will return to their nesting place.” It’s useless to return elsewhere—they will return to their nesting place. Simply put, the remnants will return—to the nesting place.

3) TCK, CCK, NCK will return
TCK, CCK, NCK will return. Do you know what CCK is? TCK are those in third-culture environments. But CCK refers to those in entirely different cultural spheres—remnants who live under disaster, unable to hear the gospel through no fault of their own. NCK are those who live where there is no (Not), no (No), cultural sphere at all. In Korea, we live too well to understand this.
Some people never brush their teeth their entire life—these places exist. Some have no shoes at all. Such nations are widespread. I saw this firsthand. Truly, no shoes. Children’s feet are in terrible condition. Yet when we came, they gave us water they had set aside. They themselves have no drinking water. The land is scorched red. I asked why—it had all burned. They live in such places. They struggle to survive. They don’t even know they are sick, and even if they are, there’s nowhere to go. I saw a 9-year-old child sitting, gazing at the sky. That’s NCK. They will return to the light. It is natural. In a way, it is necessary and absolute.

2. The light that heals the economy of darkness
What happens when this light shines? It becomes the light that heals the economy of darkness. This was mentioned at the start.

1) Economy of light
First, the economy of light. “Your gates will always stand open, day and night.” Verse 11. “The doors of your church will be open day and night.” This is very important. What else does it say? “The trees of Lebanon will beautify the place of My sanctuary.” Verse 13. “I will glorify the place where My feet rest.” That’s in verse 13. Read further, and you’ll see—it means building a true church through the economy of light. This must now be restored. Remnants must pray. In your generation, there should be no such words as, “The church lacks funds.” It must overflow. Why is there lack? Because there is no economic power. “I don’t want to give offering.” No church leader feels that way. Right? All church leaders want to earn and give offerings. “I hate offering.” No one thinks that. Why can’t they give? Because they lack economic power. Recently, Bill Gates gave tens of trillions. How? Because he has economic power. This is miserable. It’s not about money. Our remnants must restore the economy of light here. They will return with it.

2) Remnant economy
Also in today’s passage, what is it? The restoration of the remnant economy. “Your descendants will return with silver and gold.” Verse 9. And it’s not just about money. “Your children will return on ships with silver and gold.” How much have your parents and elders suffered due to financial hardship? Truly, they will return with the remnant economy. Pray with spiritual resolution. Not just any resolution—spiritual resolution.

3) Missions economy
At that time, the missions economy will return. Verse 9 states, “The islands will glorify the LORD.” Right? “The ships of Tarshish will return.” God gave us an incredible message. It means this is the light that heals the economy of darkness. First, the light that heals the future generation—rightfully. Then, the light that heals the economy of darkness—this must absolutely become yours.
In the island nations of Oceania, darkness collapses, the economy of darkness collapses, and the economy of light enters. I am certain. In every age, I’ve seen this. In nations where it seemed impossible, the three economies entered: the economy of light, the missions economy, and the remnant economy. Then amazing winds blew. Right?
People who don’t know ask, “Why does the pastor do missions in places like Oceania?” That’s looking with physical eyes. “What kind of country is Vanuatu? Why go there?” Someone asked me directly. I explained: in Oceania, there is a nation that can save the neglected one-third of Africa and the world. Over time, I saw that the leaders of Vanuatu are gospel-holding leaders. From my view, it is not a weak nation. I realized it is a very important nation for world evangelization.
Even now, people came from Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea—they are all people with a calling. I thought, “God has a plan.” People ignorantly say, “Why go to such countries…” That’s not it. Honestly, Japan and America can be evangelized without us—they are advanced nations. But the 5000 tribes cannot be saved unless we go or send someone.

3. The light that saves you and your nation
What kind of light is this? It is the light that saves you and your nation, who are devoted to this work. It seems like you are devoting for the LORD, but it is the light that saves you.

1) Verses 20–21
Verse 20: “The everlasting light of the LORD will shine upon you. He will end sorrow in your land.” Right? “The people will be righteous and possess the land forever.”

2) Verse 22
Verse 22: “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. You will no longer be forsaken.”

3) Verse 22
Then it says, “I, the LORD, will do this swiftly.” Yes. If it was up to you, it would be difficult. But “I, the LORD, will do this swiftly.” This word “swiftly” also means He will accomplish it exactly at the appointed time. You must hold to this covenant.
Wherever you go, remember: I am the light of Christ. I am the light to save others. Some people seem like they are just ranting. No—they are in hardship. Some people shout—because they are weak. Some create rumors and manipulate public opinion—because they have no strength. Truly strong people don’t act like that. You must save them. Shine the light.

---

▣ Conclusion
So the conclusion is this.

1. Go as a watchman
Go as a watchman.

1) One who gives the LORD no rest day or night
A watchman is one who gives the LORD no rest, day or night. Not just anyone.

2) One who prepares the highway
Prepare the highway.

3) One who raises the banner so that all peoples may come
Raise the banner so that all peoples may come.

4) One who shines the light from the bartizan and watchtower
The important thing is to shine the light from the bartizan and watchtower. This is important. Especially at night, shine the light until dawn. This light is the light of life—so it is extremely important. From afar, people in darkness will see the light and come. Passing ships adjust course by the light. There is a lighthouse that shines red light. There is one that shines blinking yellow. Some shine blue. These are all different.
When you see red light, it means don’t approach. There are large reefs—danger. If there is no light, what happens? So go as a watchman.

2. Be a proclaimer
Go and be a proclaimer. This is important. Proclaim the Word. Proclaim to the breath.

3. Be one who declares the light (1 Peter 2:9)
Also, what are we? We are those who declare the light. 1 Peter 2:9, “You were called to declare this light.” Remember that.
Last week, during a meeting, a remnant—a foreigner—asked me: “You’ve evangelized for 37 or 38 years—that’s amazing. What was the hardest time?” Honestly, I never had a hard time. The hardest times were when I met unreasonable, unteachable people who block the gospel. That’s the hardest. It’s hard to endure. In the past, it would have been simple—but now I’ve changed. In the past, I was an expert at grabbing people by the collar. Now I must endure.
Truly unreasonable people—frustrating because they carry Satan’s 12 bartizans. And the church made 5 more satanic bartizans. These people interfere when you try to proclaim the gospel. Getting through that is very difficult. Why do they interfere with gospel movement when they never evangelized before? They never do oneness—but when it’s to block the gospel, they suddenly unite. They always fight, but when they want to oppose a pastor, they form instant unity. That’s not the work of the Holy Spirit.
“Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.” Go holding this covenant.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, may Your kingdom and light be upon us. Heal us. Let us shine the light to those in darkness. Let those in darkness return to the light. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-4

▣ Introduction_ Receive fundamental healing. Receive fundamental strength.
Thank you. How should our newly appointed church leaders, our senior church leaders, and all of our congregation members begin? Perhaps there are some among you who say, “I am sick,” and are struggling. Some of you may be struggling spiritually but cannot speak about it to others. Some people constantly suffer because of those who are intellectually superior to them. Even now, there are tens and hundreds of millions suffering from what is called neurological illnesses. Many are caught in it, asking, “What should I do?” They face great hardships. Today must become the important day when you receive the answer and true healing.

First, let me ask you a question. There are people who left the hospital after being told, “There’s nothing we can do for you,” and somehow, on their own, they experienced healing. Why is that?

Not long ago, I heard about someone whose cancer had spread to multiple areas, and the hospital told them, “There’s nothing we can do.” So the person thought, “If the hospital can’t help me, there’s no reason to go.” They went up into the mountains. They spent time there in their own way. After a long time, they are still alive. Why? Because they are undeniably alive.

Also, someone I know, especially my aunt, when she first attended a worship service, experienced a work of God. She hadn’t believed for a long time, but she was very ill, almost to the point of death, and when she attended the meeting, God worked immediately. If it had been someone else, I might have doubted, but because I know her, I thought, “Ah, such things really happen.”

Today, you must understand something important. Without a doubt, something significant happened to that person. Many of you are suffering from diabetes these days. That’s why you take diabetes medication and so on. But does that mean you are healed? Of course not. You simply manage your condition by following the doctor’s instructions, but you are not healed. The medication merely suppresses the symptoms.

Many of you take blood pressure medication. You should listen carefully to your doctor. You take the medication because the doctor accurately checks your condition. But does that mean you are healed? No. The medication simply controls your rising blood pressure.

What do you think? The Bible speaks about something very important. Do not be discouraged—heal the root cause. Right? It’s not about saying, “Don’t take blood pressure medication.” It’s about reaching a state where you don’t need to take it. That’s true healing. Reach a state where you no longer need diabetes medication. Overcome depression so you no longer need to struggle. Do you understand? That is the healing seen in the Bible. In other words, the root is healed. The root is strengthened.

So do not suffer and worry because of cancer. Truly hold to God’s covenant and create the fundamental strength to overcome cancer cells. That is victory. Technically, you are not cured. Surgery and treatment stabilize you. That is why you must develop the strength to overcome. Those who do that have already won.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day when you receive the blessing of fundamental healing and fundamental strength for all your problems. Why? Because today is the Feast of Harvest.

1. The three feasts that heal the root
The Bible speaks of three very important things.

1) The Passover – Healing the root of your spiritual state
What happens when you observe the Passover? The root of your spiritual state is healed. You must understand this. It is extremely scientific.

2) The Pentecost – Fundamental strength
When I enjoy the covenant of Pentecost, I receive fundamental strength spiritually and physically. This is important. First, follow the doctor’s advice regarding your illness. But the reason we must hold to the covenant today is that we need fundamental strength. That is not the doctor’s responsibility. The doctor cannot give it. God has given us this secret.

3) The Feast of Ingathering – Fundamental background
When I enjoy the background of the throne through the Feast of Ingathering, I receive a fundamental background for my spiritual future.

These are the three feasts. The Jewish people did not fully understand them and simply regarded them as events. They only thought of them in terms of harvesting crops. Even in America, Thanksgiving is done completely differently. Americans treat it simply as a holiday. So churches worldwide celebrate Thanksgiving and the Feast of Harvest but miss the actual content. These three feasts bring about the incredible work of healing the root.

That is why when people say, “I was healed through prayer,” I believe them. I believe it is extremely scientific. The root begins to heal, and incredible things happen. So when people say they were filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer, I believe it.

2. The Pentecost we must enjoy now – Only
What we must understand among these secrets is that salvation has already come to us. Right? The Passover. We have been set free. The background of the throne, the Feast of Ingathering, is already always with us.

Then what must we enjoy now? The Pentecost. We must enjoy this power. Jesus said, “Only.” This was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room—“Only.” You must hold on to this during this short time today. What does “Only” mean?

1) Hold on to the flow that saves lives.
This has been historically proven. There is a flow that saves lives. Right? I ask all the pastors to remember: there has always been a historical flow that saves lives, even though it often came with false accusations. So hold on to the flow that saves lives. That is “Only.”

2) Have limited concentration, chosen concentration, and oneness concentration.
Since nothing else works, concentrate with “Only.” Try it. Concentrate on what God has chosen for you. How do you do other things? Everything else will be revived, so concentrate on oneness. That is “Only.”

3) Acceptance, transcendence, and answer
There are many things around you. Accept them, transcend them, and find the answer. Then give the answer. That is “Only.” Joseph was not a slave. He accepted his circumstances, transcended them, and God worked through him. Even Potiphar said, “You are not a slave.” That is the answer we give. Today, we must truly restore the blessing of this Feast of Harvest.

3. The Pentecost we must enjoy daily (Filling of the Holy Spirit)
I believe we must enjoy this daily. We must enjoy it during worship today. Simply put:

The Feast of Harvest. The work of the Holy Spirit. The Pentecost. Simply put: the filling of the Holy Spirit. This brings healing to the root. This is important. It gives us fundamental strength. Focus so that this happens. Do not be deceived. Do not just listen to my sermon. Look to the Word.

1) 40-day concentration
Jesus concentrated for 40 days. That was the end.

2) 10-day concentration
After receiving the covenant, they concentrated in prayer for ten days, and the work of Pentecost took place in Mark’s upper room.

3) This is the Feast of Harvest, the Pentecost
This is the Feast of Harvest. It is called the Feast of Harvest because they harvested barley. Fifty days. Seven times seven is forty-nine, and the next day is the fiftieth day. That is the Pentecost. But this term is extremely important.

Do not worry about sickness. Heal the root. Restore fundamental strength. There may be many things in your life, but receive the fundamental strength that God gives. Listen to the doctor. You must. But it is up to you to receive fundamental strength. Right? The church is responsible for nurturing the fundamental strength that will rise in the future. It is not the doctor’s responsibility.

If we are sick now, there is no question. Go to the hospital. You must. You must receive medical help. Those people use their medical knowledge and scientific training to help you. We are grateful for that. But that does not mean the root is healed. We must heal the root.

▣ Main point

1. The promise that existed before eternity
First, this is the promise that existed before eternity. Right? It is the promise that existed before eternity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have worked since before eternity.

1) Joseph (Genesis 41:38)
Joseph enjoyed this blessing. He was not deceived. Even when his brothers tormented him, he was not deceived. He became a slave with no one to help him, yet he was not deceived. Even when he was falsely accused and imprisoned, he was not deceived. Eventually, he stood before the king and gave the answer to solve the fundamental problems of the world. At that time, the king said, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God?” That is the blessing. The Pentecost. The Feast of Harvest. Right? With this strength, Remnants, do not be discouraged. Develop fundamental strength. Develop the strength to overcome cancer. That comes first. Is that possible? It is scientific. Right? It is very scientific. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is extremely scientific.

2) Moses (Exodus 3:1-20)
Moses realized this when he was old. Moses had not truly believed in this strength until then. He knew about it, but it was at Mount Horeb that this power worked. From that moment on, Moses moved the world with just a staff. You must find and utilize this.

3) Samuel and David (1 Samuel 3:19, 1 Samuel 16:13)
Two people realized this at a young age. Right? Samuel. “The Lord let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” That spiritual strength entered Samuel. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” Fundamental, creative strength entered them. Do not lose hold of this. Do not be deceived. Christians are constantly being deceived. Do not be deceived. Do not just listen to the pastor’s sermon. Look to God’s Word. You do not need to listen to my sermon. Confirm the Word and hold to the covenant. I can speak with assurance because I am a witness. I experienced this. Without knowing this amazing answer in God’s Word, people keep wandering like unbelievers.

4) Elisha (2 Kings 2:9)
Many seminary students and pastors are interested in physical benefits. But Elisha said, “I do not need that. I do not need Gilgal. I do not need Jericho. I do not need Bethel. Give me a double portion of your spirit.” That is what this means. The blessing of Pentecost. The Feast of Harvest. You must find it.

5) Those who went to Babylon
Those who went to Babylon went with this power. That’s enough.

---

2. The completed promise given by Jesus Christ
Second, Jesus Christ gave us the completed promise. All pastors and theologians know well what Jesus did during His three years of public ministry. What was it? He pointed out the wrong and different things the Jewish people were doing.

1) John 14:1-4, 16-17
At the end, He gave a final word. You must hold on to this. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. I am going to prepare a place for you.” Then He said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to be with you forever.”

2) John 14:26
In verse 26, He said, “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things.”

3) John 16:13
In John 16:13, He said, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth and will tell you what is yet to come.” That’s enough.

4) Acts 1:8 (bartizan, journey, guidepost)
This is the promise Jesus made. At the end, He said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” How much? Enough to accomplish world evangelization. “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He spoke about the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. Right? That is the filling of the Holy Spirit. As I continued to pray with this, I discovered seven of them, but you may enjoy them differently. This is the promise of Jesus.

---

3. The promise fulfilled in Mark’s upper room (Acts 2:1-4)
Where was this promise fulfilled? In Mark’s upper room. “When the day of Pentecost came.” This is the third promise and blessing we must receive. They were praying in Mark’s upper room, and “when the day of Pentecost came,” that is the Feast of Harvest. The work of the Holy Spirit came like the wind and fire. Have you experienced fire? Its power is immense. The power like the wind worked.

In Mark’s upper room, they experienced perfect power. From that moment, they had assurance.

1) Peter, a changed man (Acts 3:6, 4:12)
Peter was changed. He had once denied Jesus Christ, but after experiencing this power, he said, “What I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” He changed completely. When he was brought to trial, he boldly said, “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” The Pharisees were astonished. “Is that Peter? Why is he so different?”

2) Cornelius (Acts 10:1-48)
The Holy Spirit worked upon Cornelius. You know why.

3) Paul, fundamentally healed by the work of the Holy Spirit
The work of the Holy Spirit through the Feast of Harvest and Pentecost shook Paul to the root. He received fundamental healing. This is important. God gave him fundamental strength. From that moment on, Paul began the camp of being led completely by the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit arose to block the age of the Nephilim and to conquer Rome—to save lives.

Take this with you today. This is the Feast of Harvest. Do not worry. Change your root. More precisely, believe and wait until fundamental strength arises. If spiritual strength does not work within you, you cannot quit your addiction. You may endure, but you cannot quit. You need spiritual strength.

When we went abroad, listen to that pastor’s testimony. God’s work happened to him. The work of the Holy Spirit happened to him. He thought, “Why was I like that?” and he completely changed. He no longer needed those things. He now goes from prison to prison, evangelizing. He seeks out drug addicts, evangelizing. “Don’t you know me?” The work arises everywhere.

---

▣ Conclusion_ How?
Let me conclude. What should we do?

1. When you believe, works arise.
I once thought there was some method. There isn’t. Works arise through faith. Right? When you believe, works arise.

2. When you hold to the Word, works arise (Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 40:8, John 1:1).
When? Now. When? When you hold to the Word. Works arise when you hold to the Word. “The Word is alive and active.” “Say, ‘The Word of the Lord endures forever.’” “The Word is God.” Right? So, when you hold to the Word.

3. 24
There is no other way. 24. Just do it. Our church leaders must begin this year as the year when they receive the greatest strength.

1) Prayer 24 – Morning (strength), Day (confirm answers), Night (prepare 300%)
For reference, there is something I do every day. I do 24 every day. The moment I open my eyes, I begin full-scale prayer. During the day, when I meet you, I confirm the answers. At night, I pray and prepare 300%. I do this every day. 24. I cannot survive without doing this.

There are three things I do every day as part of 24. Prayer 24. That is how I live. I pray 24 to develop the root.

2) Exercise 24
This also strengthens the root. Exercise 24. Is it possible? It is. Adam and Eve had to move for four hours in the morning to eat. That is normal. You sit too much. Work in the morning to eat lunch. Work in the afternoon to eat dinner. That is normal. That is the exercise I am talking about. I exercise five to ten minutes every hour. I never need to go outside. Even in my office, I do push-ups and squats while praying and writing messages. Why? To strengthen the root. And I breathe 24 deeply. Why? To strengthen the root.

3) Breathing 24
And I pray. Strengthen the root. I can confidently promise you. You will gain incredible strength and change everything. Depression? No need to worry—the brain revives, and it disappears. Right? With immunity and power inside me, cancer cells cannot attack. That is the battle. Right? The fundamental battle.

Church leaders, many Remnants, hold to the covenant. Receive strength and be victorious in spiritual battle. Young people, do not fear the future. Prepare 300%.

Prayer
God, we thank You. Let us enjoy the power of the Pentecost, the Feast of Harvest. Let healing arise as we begin anew. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.06.22 Sunday 2nd Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

---

Now throughout this week, you must hold onto the line of prayer.
You must hold onto the line of the covenant. Then answers will come before you.

Today, some of our sports team gathered. There are truly many people with great callings. So I briefly shared my testimony. When I was in that youthful, preparatory stage of life, I had no margin—when a person has no margin, they become a little strange. I had no background, and I owned nothing, so I became a bit odd. But when I realized the gospel, I began doing things while embracing the composure of those who live with margin.

Because I had nothing, during my years preparing as an evangelist, for about ten years I lived with nearly nothing and poured myself into the field and into study. That helped me far more. Those who travel around just because they can afford to often fail to prepare. If you prepare with prayer, you gain far more. So, especially our young adults, don’t worry—hold onto the covenant line and make sure you receive answers first.

“Globalization, Evangelization, World Evangelization” (Acts 1:1–8)
This must be fulfilled. Globalization must take place, then evangelization must take place—then world evangelization will follow. Never let go of the covenant line so that what Jesus promised will be fulfilled.

▣ Introduction
Jesus said this:
1. Bartizan, journey, guidepost
He spoke of the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. Do not give up until these are established. As I continued in prayer, these were established in the form of the seven bartizans, journey, and guideposts.

2. Only, uniqueness, recreation
If you pray like this, these will definitely appear. You will begin to see “only.” That’s why don’t be discouraged—continue until you see “only.” Then uniqueness and recreation become visible. With this, do 237 missions. Young people, never be deceived—hold onto the covenant and first receive this answer.

3. Transcendence of time and space, 237–5000, unprecedented and never-repeated
Then you begin to understand what prayer is. Prayer is the transcendence of time and space. Right? From this point, you begin to understand evangelism and missions. You begin to communicate with the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. At this point, a special answer comes—God makes your work unprecedented and never-repeated. Without a doubt. Until then, don’t do anything else—just hold onto this line.

▣ Main
So what is the reason?

1. What is urgent [Evangelization]
The most urgent thing is for the evangelization movement to arise. Evangelization must come first. What does this mean?
1) Acts 1:1 (bartizan)
It’s that Christ (Acts 1:1) becomes my bartizan within me. The bartizan, journey, and guidepost are always there—but it is Christ who becomes my inner bartizan. From that point, answers begin to be fulfilled.

“The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head” is fulfilled.
“On the day you place the lamb’s blood, you will be set free.”
Isaiah 7:14—“Immanuel, His name will deliver”—is fulfilled.
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God”—this is fulfilled.
That’s what evangelization is.

2) Acts 1:3 (journey)
Then the journey of the throne, in Acts 1:3, begins to come upon you. That is evangelization.

3) Acts 1:8 (guidepost)
Not only that, the guidepost of Acts 1:8 begins to be established in you. From then on, 300% answers come. Young people, do not waver until this happens. Without a doubt. Students, don’t waver until this comes. Our church leaders doing world missions—go with this covenant.

2. Globalization [What is needed]
From this point, globalization arises. This is what is most needed. If evangelization is most urgent, globalization is what is most needed. From this point, the following phrases will begin to make sense:

1) The age of the 3 courtyards
If you receive this answer in your life, then you’ve received everything.

2) The three-day weekend age
You must absolutely do this.

(Disasters) – This is what blocks the age of disasters.
(Future generation disasters) – This is what blocks disasters for posterity.

3) The age of holy meditation
The whole world is bound to fall into disaster. Because God is in a hurry, He says to raise the holy meditation age.
This is globalization.

3. World evangelization [God’s objective]
Evangelization and globalization must take place for world evangelization to occur. You must hold onto this covenant line and receive many answers this week. This is God’s objective. You must remember. God never stops world evangelization.

1) Slavery, captivity, colonization, wanderers
Because Israel, which had the gospel, remained idle, God allowed them to become slaves. World evangelization. It has never stopped once. If you don’t proclaim the gospel, war will break out to drive you out. Slavery, captivity, colonization, wanderers—now we must no longer send our posterity out this way. We must send them as missionaries.

2) Surrounded by great powers
Israel was surrounded by empires. Just like our nation. Surrounded by Assyria, Babylon, Egypt below, Arabia to the east, Philistia to the west. Why? If you gain spiritual strength, it becomes the path of world evangelization. If you don’t understand, you’ll continue to suffer under great powers. It’s the same.

3) The covenant in advance
That’s why today you must hold onto this covenant in advance. Because world evangelization is God’s will.

▣ Conclusion
When did God’s answer begin? Just take this conclusion with you.

1. Genesis 12:1–3
When did world evangelization begin? When Abraham understood this Word. He couldn’t understand it at first—because it didn’t make sense. “Through you, I will block the disaster of the world”—he couldn’t say “Amen.” Right? Understandable. But now, I can believe it.

Think about it. In the past, I couldn’t understand it either. “What do you mean, evangelize the world? How?” But now, I understand: “Through one Abraham, the nations can be saved.” Do you understand?

When I couldn’t understand this, no answer came. Everything was hard. Life was hard. I used to worry constantly—about making a living, about everything. Worse than an unbeliever. I had no choice. Nothing was working.

Then I realized—through one person, the darkness of the world can be blocked. That is missions. But many don’t understand missions. Through you, the field comes alive—that is evangelism.

Now look at Scripture.

Exodus 3:1–18
Moses lived 80 years, and no answer came. But on the day he turned 80, he realized: “World evangelization. The blood sacrifice. There will be deliverance. The Mighty Hand will be with you.”

He couldn’t realize this until he was 80. “How can we escape and do world evangelization?”

Today, you must understand what the gospel is and what missions are. So don’t ever waver—continue until this answer (introduction) comes.

Honestly, though only one witness sits here now, who do you think suffered the most while I was preparing this (introduction)? My wife. My unique feature? I had no money. Other people at least had some kind of background—a pastor father, an elder father… something. I had none of that.

But I realized—if I have nothing, then I simply don’t spend. During the 10 years I studied, I never spent any allowance.

People misunderstood me—thought I was stingy. That’s not true.

There was a beggar next to me—Pastor Cho Euntaek. I mooched off that beggar. He knew I had nothing, so he just bought food for me.

Even now, whenever I meet Pastor Cho Euntaek, he demands money from me without any reason—because I used to eat off him all the time. I wasn’t trying to mooch—he just bought for me.

So what did I do? For 10 years, no matter how much my wife suffered, I entered the field—into books, into the field. When I graduated from graduate school and held onto the covenant, the answer came just as it was.

I experienced the Word. “We don’t believe God’s Word. We don’t believe the promise.” But from that point, everyone who knew me saw it—God continued to open doors for evangelism ever since.

It’s real. Nothing I could’ve done with my personality. It was God’s work.

Now what remains is the evangelization of the 5,000 tribes. Evangelization of the 237 nations.

So although today is a missions dedication service, this is the answer that all church members must receive.

Isaiah 62:6–12
In Babylon, it says, “Raise up a banner for the nations.” In that hardship, world missions: “Raise a banner for all peoples.” That’s why they were sent to Babylon—and works began to arise in Babylon. May you enjoy this blessing.

2. Prayer
So from now on, travel with prayer.

1) 7·7·7
Travel with this.

2) Field
From now on, travel to the field with prayer. Do everything with prayer.

3) Nations
Travel through the nations and the world with prayer. Do everything with prayer.

3. Me
Finally, with prayer, you can bless yourself. Most important of all—with prayer, you can save yourself. You don’t just travel the world in prayer. The most important thing is that you save yourself with prayer.

When I first went to Yeongdo in Busan, what did I do? I said, “Gather the sick.” But I didn’t go around laying hands—I didn’t need to. I just said, “You, place your hand where it hurts and pray in the name of Jesus Christ.” Really do it. Try and see if God works. That’s what I taught first.

Those who receive Jesus Christ as Lord are children of God. That means you can pray with authority in Jesus’ name.

Do not let go of the line of prayer. With it, you can save the world and save yourself.

May this week become a time of blessing when you experience missions. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Hold tightly to the line of the covenant.
I repeat: young people—don’t give up even if your circumstances are hard. Build the introduction. For our church leaders, it has already come—so use it.

Today may be a missions dedication service, but you already hold the covenant that saves the world.

May this week be a time when you experience it. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer
God, allow us to experience something new this week. Let us see the covenant in the Bible. Let us see the reality of world evangelization.
So may all disease in me be bound. Let all poverty be cast away.
Let all powerlessness be bound. Let the powerlessness that fails to save unbelievers be resolved. May the work that changes my family line arise.
May the work that changes the field take place. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray, Amen.

2025.06.22 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: 1 Samuel 7:1-15

---

▣ Introduction
Today, may you discover the answer that God has surely given to you. Do not listen to my sermon—concentrate your heart on this Word.
※ A state in which one cannot escape because destiny has already been determined (John 9:3)
Jesus was walking with His disciples when they encountered a man born blind. The disciples asked, “Is this his own sin? Or his parents’ sin?” Jesus replied, “It is neither his sin nor his parents’ sin, but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him.” Because our destiny is already determined, we cannot escape it.

Today is about the Mizpah Movement. They were unable to escape suffering and war. As we examine today’s Mizpah Movement, we must find the accurate answer.

1. Three questions
Do you perhaps have any problems? Are you perhaps bound by an incurable disease? Today, we must take with us an important answer. Before explaining what the Mizpah Movement is, I must first ask you three questions in this introduction.
1) Don’t fall into discouragement over the problem, but discover the true cause
Whenever we face problems, though we may not speak it aloud, we often fall into despair and sink into the issue. The Israelites suffered under the Philistines. But God is saying that this is not the issue—we must know the cause. This is important. These events occurred so we would come to know the true cause.
2) If you deceive yourself with fixed thoughts, you cannot receive answers
If we continually deceive ourselves, we cannot receive answers. We are deceived from the very start. Many of you are full of worries. “How will I live from now on?” This is how we deceive ourselves with our own conclusions. I clearly tell the remnants: “Even if you clean, you can succeed. That’s what it means to be a child of God.” I always mention this to married people—look at Schwab. He started as a janitor and became the Steel King. We keep falling into these traps ourselves.
3) The Philistines are not the problem. Because they didn’t know the cause of their suffering, they turned to idols
God was revealing this to Israel through Samuel for the sake of world evangelization. Egypt was not the problem. The Philistines were not the problem. Right? “Throw away all your idols and return to the Lord.” Of course they should. But why did they go that way? Because they didn’t know the cause. Not knowing the cause of their suffering, they turned to Baal and Ashtoreth. That’s what happened today. “Throw everything away and return to the Lord.” That’s what Samuel said. “Then the Lord will deliver you from the hand of the Philistines.” He even said this. The people fasted and prayed earnestly. But that was not the solution. When the Philistines heard the news, they attacked again. So in desperation, they said, “The Philistines are attacking again. Pray for us.” When Samuel prayed, God thundered from heaven, and they won against the Philistines. But even that was not the answer. Is it enough just to kill the Philistines with thunder? God was trying to reveal something important.

2. The cause of suffering
There are a few words you must remember. What does “Mizpah” mean? “Mizpah” means bartizan. It’s a very important word. This means they lost the bartizan war. Win the bartizan war. Satan has erected 16 bartizans to quietly destroy mankind. Because we don’t know this, we don’t even know why suffering comes.
1) The 12 bartizans of darkness
You may have tried to live diligently, but fell into Genesis 3 without God. You don’t know the cause. “Why do I have these spiritual problems?” You’ve become a Nephilim. You tried to live diligently, but collapsed like the Tower of Babel. You tried hard in your faith, but fell into religion, idols, and superstition. The problem continued into your future generations. These are the 12 bartizans of darkness.
2) It entered us and built a house (Matt. 12:43–45)
It would be fine if it ended there, but now it has entered us and built a house.
3) Fortress (2 Cor. 10:4–5)
It would be fine if it ended there, but now it has formed a fortress (2 Cor. 10:4–5).
4) Satan as the ruler of the world (John 16:11–14)
It would be fine if it ended there, but according to John 16, this darkness—Satan—is the ruler of this world.
5) The god of this age (2 Cor. 4:4–5)
Even worse—the god of this age. That’s why people go to fortune-tellers. That’s why they perform shamanistic rituals. The more they do it, the harder it gets. These are the bartizans of darkness.

3. Win the bartizan war
So make the bartizan of the Lord. This is the battle. This is the war—not against the Philistines, but against darkness. Coming out of Egypt isn’t the issue—coming out of darkness is what’s important. That’s what God is showing now. Mizpah itself means bartizan. Isn’t that so important?

---

▣ Main – How was it resolved?
Let’s go into the main body. How was this history resolved? How did it become solved? We miss it again. We get deceived here again. How was it resolved? Until now, we’ve lived a life of faith. How was it resolved? If we don’t know this, we’ll just pass by today again. We must know how it was resolved.

If you know this, there’s no need to worry about people suffering from depression. It can become a tremendous spiritual blessing—if only we know this. “I don’t have anything.” Then you can find the true thing. “I’m already old now…” Age doesn’t matter. Moses began at 80. Elijah said, “I can’t do it anymore.” He hadn’t even started. God hadn’t even begun yet, and Elijah said, “Just take me now.”

So today we must understand how this problem was resolved, and how the Philistines could no longer invade, and how there was peace in the land. I’ll give you the answer simply. You must remember this.

1. Replace the bartizan and restore the fundamental covenant
The bartizan was replaced. Verses 8 and 9. You must understand this. Trouble upon trouble came through the Philistines. But when they asked Samuel to save them, what did Samuel do? Verses 8 and 9.
1) Spiritual problem, original sin, darkness
He “offered a suckling lamb as a burnt offering.” And that’s when the work of destroying darkness took place. You must remember this. It’s not because of your own sin. It’s not because of your parents’ sin. How do you resolve this original sin with spiritual problems? It was resolved by the blood of the suckling lamb. If you don’t know this, even after a lifetime of faith, you’ll realize at the end that you lived in vain. If you know this, no matter what hardship comes, the gospel never disappears. You must remember this.

You simply said “Amen,” right? Because you’re a believer. But darkness trembles when you truly say “Amen.” Satan knows who you are. He knows what you truly value. He knows what you consider most precious. He knows how much power you have. He knows how much money you have. He’s not afraid of that. But if you have this blood covenant—this covenant of Christ—he cannot attack.
2) Replacing the bartizan
At Mizpah, they replaced the bartizan. The Bible calls this a “new creation.” “The old has passed away, the new has come.” It means destiny was changed. Right? Your identity changed. Your authority changed. Never be deceived. We keep getting deceived. Wasn’t the suffering in Egypt enough? They still got deceived after coming out. Humans are smart, but foolish. Right? How smart are people? Unimaginably smart—but just as foolish.

Don’t they say rats flee before a flood hits? Rats escape first. Smart, right? But how foolish are people? Even after being told a flood is coming, they set up tents right there. Truly foolish.

So they became captives again. They didn’t even know why. Then they became a colony under Rome. They kept repeating this. The bartizan must be replaced. Through the blood covenant, by offering the suckling lamb as a burnt offering, all darkness was bound.
3) The answer of Ebenezer
Then what answer came? Just as our elder prayed today—the answer of Ebenezer came. Right? “Ebenezer” means “thus far the Lord has helped us.” He set up a stone as a memorial. Why? To lead them on the path of Ebenezer. First,
(1) Gen. 3:15 – The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.
Resolve the fundamental problem embedded from the beginning—this is the message. It’s not just a casual phrase. In Eden, during the great fall, God said, “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” That “serpent” is important. Someone deep in shamanism confessed, “A serpent entered me.” Yes. “The offspring of the woman will crush the serpent’s head.” In every nation’s temples, they all feature serpents. Isn’t that strange? All nations—even advanced ones—are trapped in darkness and doing Nephilim movements. May you be assured today. The path of Ebenezer is about solving the fundamental problem. Replace the bartizan, solve the root.
(2) Gen. 6:14 – Enter the ark and you will live.
(3) Exod. 3:18 – Go and offer the blood sacrifice.
When they became slaves, God said, “Go and offer the blood sacrifice.” No one understood it. The world king Pharaoh didn’t understand it. He couldn’t. Even today, people don’t understand. But that elderly Moses understood. That was enough.
(4) The 40 years of wilderness suffering
They suffered 40 years in the wilderness—but that wasn’t the problem. What did God give them in the wilderness? Recover the covenant of the three feasts. What was in the Ark of the Covenant? Recover that. What was in the tabernacle? Recover that. That’s why they gave the burnt offering.
(5) The burnt offering that ended the suffering of the 14 judges
They suffered through the 14 judges—now it’s over. “As long as Samuel lived, there was no war.” There was peace.

2. The path of Ebenezer
Second. What is the path of Ebenezer? Now build the real power to save. Restore this power.
1) The power to change the destiny of Egypt, the Philistines, and Israel
It’s the power to change Egypt’s destiny. Believe this. You are the ones who will change the power and destiny of the Philistines. You are the ones who will reverse Israel’s destiny. You must build this power.
2) At the time of offering the blood sacrifice, all the forces of darkness bow before this covenant. Just hold onto the covenant
This burnt offering, the time of offering the blood sacrifice, is something we cannot understand. But all the forces of darkness bow before this covenant. You must firmly hold onto this covenant today. Grab it and start the battle.

Some of you might say, “Since the time of my ancestors, we’ve had shamans and spiritual illness—I’m suffering so much.” Don’t worry. Hold onto the sure covenant. The forces of darkness that tormented your family line for generations—they know. Don’t ever lose the covenant—just hold onto it.
3) Even if God must use other things, He will stop the wicked and protect you (verses 10, 14)
In verse 10, it says God sent thunder to stop the Philistines. If you have nothing, God will use anything in this world to protect you. God knew Israel had no strength to win. So He stopped the wicked by sending thunder.

So in verse 14, it says, “There was no war and peace came.”

3. The remaining future – the posterity movement (David)
It doesn’t end here. Through Samuel, the path of Ebenezer does not end. What was prepared next?

There is a great history that remains. It’s the future. There is something that remains through you. You must take this with you.
1) To David was given the covenant of the ark and the temple that would house it, and he was anointed
What is this? The appearance of David. David didn’t just appear. Samuel went to find David. What do you think he did? He probably told David about all the works of God. He probably told him about the Philistines. Most importantly, he must have spoken about the Ark of the Covenant. Right? And about the temple to house the Ark.

He gave that covenant to David and anointed his head with oil. This time, for those being appointed during the ordination service—you are, accurately speaking, being anointed. Hold onto the covenant. Prepare. Proclaim the Mizpah Movement. Walk the path of Ebenezer and begin the posterity movement.
2) From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David
“From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” This is what we’ll look at next Sunday. You must not miss the correct Mizpah Movement.

Recover the fundamental covenant God gave. Recover the power to save others—that’s what God is promising. And also, the future.
3) The answers David received throughout his life
You know what kind of person David became, right? There are two answers he received throughout his life by holding onto the covenant. Defeating the Philistines wasn’t it—that was natural.

He established 1,000 bartizans to protect the nation of Israel. Mizpah is a bartizan. He raised those bartizans in a thousand locations. And what else? He built bartizans for the world. What was that? It was preparing the temple. That’s what he did.

This is the answer you must take with you today.

▣ Conclusion
Now, in conclusion, what is it?
1. Bartizan, journey, guidepost
1) Changing myself into the Lord’s bartizan
Mizpah. Changing myself into the bartizan of the Lord. This is the answer you must hold onto firmly. God can answer in an instant. “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” “Let it be done according to your faith.” It can end in an instant. Or it might take 40 years like Moses—it doesn’t matter. Today, you must firmly hold onto this covenant.
2) The Ebenezer journey that saves the world must become my journey
Ebenezer. Hold onto it. “Let it become my journey.” Just hold onto it.
3) Establish the guidepost to save the world through the ark of the Lord
And what came out in the first half of chapter 7? The ark of the covenant was mentioned. They had no place to put it, so they placed it in Abinadab’s house. Listen carefully. This is what was told to David. So what did David say? He could never forget Samuel’s words. What did he say after becoming king? “I live in a fine palace, but the ark of the Lord is out in the wind.” He said he was not at ease. That’s why his desire was to build a temple for the ark. This must become our guidepost.

Today it’s bartizan, journey, and guidepost. The moment our bartizan changes to the Lord’s bartizan at Mizpah, history begins. To save the world, we walk the path of Ebenezer. Through the ark of the Lord, we establish the guidepost to save the world.

2. Receive the answer immediately and go
Now, receive the answer right now and go. How do you go? This is important. You can receive the answer right now.

When I realized the gospel, I said, “I do not accept powerlessness in evangelism, poverty, and disease. I will destroy them.” The answer came just as it was. It’s true. Don’t listen to me—look closely at the Bible.
1) The answer to receive today
There is an answer to receive right now—today.

(1) Joseph in the problem of his family line
He experienced great hardships in his family. But it was not his problem. Joseph held onto the dream of world evangelization. Right? Hold onto it right now. God’s Word is the Word of creation, so the moment you hold onto it, history takes place. People don’t believe this. If so, why attend worship? When will the work happen? You don’t know. But God will act precisely.

(2) Moses in the problem of the nation
If you think, “I’m caught in national issues and suffering unfairly,” you won’t receive answers. But when Moses realized, “This is why God sent me to the palace,” history began. Even when God spoke to him, he said he couldn’t do it. But from the moment he held onto the covenant, history started.

(3) Samuel living away from home
If Samuel had said, “Why do I have to live like this, away from my family and home?” he would have missed the answer. But when he realized, “God allowed me to live beside the ark,” it was finished. Right? That was it.

(4) David in hardship
David never prayed, “Why are You giving me these hardships?” He said, “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Your rod and staff comfort me. I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” It’s different, right?

(5) The remnants in crisis in Babylon
You must receive the answer now—today. You must find the answer now—today. Crisis came? It’s okay. They said, “We don’t need to be delivered from the fire. We’re willing to enter the lions’ den. If we die, we die.” That shook Babylon. Right?

(6) The early church under heresy accusations and persecution
The early church was falsely accused of heresy and unable to move freely, yet they gathered in Mark’s upper room. More persecution came, yet they gathered in Antioch. This is the answer for today.

2) The answer received during the process
Then what’s the answer you’ll receive in the future? You must take that with you. When an answer comes, don’t get overly excited. When hardship comes, don’t worry. This is the answer received during the process. You must see it the other way.

(1) Joseph going as a slave
I’ll talk about this in Ansan today—you must look at things in reverse to receive answers. Joseph didn’t just go as a slave—he went to Egypt.

(2) Joseph going to prison
Did Joseph go to prison? No. He went to meet a politician. You must look carefully.

Today you receive an answer, and there is an answer you’ll receive as you go forward. You must hold onto that.

3) The answer to receive in the future
You must know the answer that’s coming in the future.

(1) Joseph who wasn’t discouraged in hardship or excited in success
When Joseph became prime minister, he wasn’t excited. He didn’t fall into despair when he faced hardship. Right?

(2) Joseph who didn’t rebuke Potiphar’s wife and comforted his brothers
He didn’t summon and rebuke Potiphar’s wife. When his brothers came, he comforted them.

(3) Joseph who carried out world evangelization
What did he do? He accomplished world evangelization. This is the answer about the future. You must remember this. I don’t have time to explain more—so receive the answer today. There’s the answer for now, for the journey ahead, and the answer waiting in the future.

That’s why when David became king, he said, “The Lord is my King.” That’s David. That’s the answer he held for the future.

Today, hold onto the Mizpah Movement, the Ebenezer Movement, and this covenant movement. Hold tightly to the covenant that will save the future and return.

May you receive today’s answer in the name of Jesus Christ.

Prayer
God, thank You for working through the covenant even now. Thank You for letting us discover the true cause. May the Mizpah Movement that replaces the bartizan arise, and may we see the true answer of discovering Ebenezer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, Amen.

Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Text: Exodus 3:18–20

---

▣ Introduction: Our Remnants will live by what they learned in childhood. Our Remnants will live by what they learned as children. As adults, don’t we also live sustained by the grace we’ve once received? If so, we must understand the clear reason. We must deeply understand why we are talking about building the temple.

Right now, Israel was destined for death as slaves. At that time, God gave a solution: go and offer the blood sacrifice. That is the solution that breaks down darkness. Others may not have understood, but Moses did. He also said Pharaoh would not easily listen, but God said, “I will strike him with a mighty hand.” Go with assurance.

“The Temple That Will Heal Egypt.” It is a temple that will heal Egypt. That is why we read Exodus 3:18 and 20 today. But most of the Israelites did not understand the reason for building the tabernacle. They just did it because they were told. Even though David had completely prepared for the temple, those who came after still didn’t understand. That brought many difficulties. The temple was torn down, rebuilt, and what stood was Herod’s temple. Even then, they didn’t understand the reason. That’s why Jesus became angry. If you don’t understand the reason, you can gain nothing. The global church is building and evangelizing without understanding why.

The whole world is in darkness. Whether you believe it or not, it is a fact.

1. Developed countries. Then and now, it is the same. Developed countries are the field.

1) Nephilim culture. Satan knows very well. In developed nations, Nephilim culture is fully embedded. Massive dark temples are being built. Shockingly, the people laboring there are Israelites. It sounds absurd, but it’s true. Our Remnants, if not careful, will end up serving in these places of darkness.

2) Nephilim enterprises. Naturally, Nephilim enterprises arise. That’s why our elders and church officers are struggling in the field. This is all connected. That’s why 300% preparation is an absolute necessity. Once again: 300% means that God has prepared something perfect for us. He has prepared the field and the future. Remnants must study in light of this. Church officers must go out with this covenant to save others.

3) Nephilim posterity. Developed countries have produced not only Nephilim enterprises but also Nephilim posterity. For example, most of the musical works in the U.S., Europe, and especially the U.K. are full of Nephilim culture. Movies that strongly portray Nephilim themes always win awards. One just received a Nobel Prize recently—completely Nephilim content. I’m sorry to say, but that person is probably suffering deeply. Someone needs to evangelize them.

2. Developing countries – Idolatry. Have you ever been to a developing country? These are not underdeveloped nations, but also not advanced ones—countries in transition. Taiwan, for example. Every home, alley, and tourist spot has idols. Right in front of every home. People don’t even realize how dangerous this is. We surveyed children in Taiwan: “Raise your hand if you can’t sleep at night, feel oppressed, and can’t tell your parents.” 8 out of 10 raised their hands. Adults are unaware.

3. Underdeveloped nations. You must study underdeveloped nations. We have to save 5,000 tribes. The poverty is indescribable. People build homes on muddy rivers and use the same water for washing, drinking, and cleaning. Crime is rampant. The elite are corrupt. Through Vanuatu, we aim to evangelize Oceania—this is God’s great blessing. Leaders there are faithful. Unlike many corrupt foreign aid programs, they are trustworthy. As we go deeper, conditions are beyond imagination. Child abuse, murder, and crime are common. Even in the Philippines, murder is rampant. It’s dangerous even to go outside.

Why did God first choose Egypt? Why are we praying for the U.S.? Because all problems originated from the developed world. That’s why healing those caught in darkness is our mission.

▣ Main Message: You must now begin prayer for the final, important experiences.

[ Person of 24 Prayer ] You must become a person of 24-hour prayer. What does that mean? A person who is in prayer.

[ Person of 25 Answer ] You must experience it once in your life—being a person of the 25th hour answer.

[ Person of 00 Monument ] One who leaves behind the eternal monument.

This must be your final life experience. I experienced this many times while evangelizing. Everything was prepared. Sometimes I was surprised, even laughed at how perfect it was.

[ Idol Temples ] All the people mentioned earlier are involved with idol temples. Even in underdeveloped nations, idols are built large—they are cultural strongholds. So, what is the first blessing we must receive?

1. Exodus 3:18 Build the temple of Exodus 3:18.

[ Israel – First ] The light must first shine on Israel.

1) Exodus 2:1-10 (Light in the palace) That’s why God sent Moses as light into Pharaoh’s palace—the most important place in Egypt. God’s plan is always fulfilled.

2) Exodus 3:1-10 At that time, Israel had become complete slaves. While Moses was in the palace, all the Israelites were enslaved.

3) Exodus 3:18 (80 years old, Light) Today’s passage marks Moses’ 80th year, when God completely appoints him as light.

Build the temple where this covenant of the tabernacle will be proclaimed.

[ Disasters, Satan, Hell’s background ] You know what the blood sacrifice means. It has the power to completely overcome disasters, Satan, and the background of hell. Many talk of the gospel without mentioning Satan, but this is reality. Critics call it “Satanic theology” when they run out of things to say—but there’s no such thing. Satan is Satan. America and Europe are completely asleep in Nephilim culture. I say, “Don’t go to America unless you have a special calling.” Same for Europe. Without the gospel, you will be destroyed. Mental illness is everywhere. Only the gospel can solve this.

This is the covenant God gave Moses after 80 years: “Go offer the blood sacrifice.” This is no ordinary statement.

2. Exodus 5:1 – 12:46 Second, from Exodus 5 begins the building of the Exodus temple.

[ Egypt – Light ] Shine the light in Egypt.

1) Ten Plagues. God sent ten plagues. Each destroyed a part of Egyptian culture. Spiritually, it was God shining His light on Egypt, destroying its idols.

2) Pharaoh. Pharaoh never understood. When water turned to blood, he was shocked—the Nile was their god. They worshiped frogs, lice, flies—gods of fertility. When the plagues came, Pharaoh summoned Moses: “What should I do? I’ll let your people go, just stop the plague.” But his heart did not change. When livestock—their wealth—was struck, Pharaoh called Moses again. Later came boils, hail, and locusts. Hail destroyed crops; locusts ate the rest. Then came the plague of darkness. Still, he did not listen. The final plague was the death of the firstborn. Then Pharaoh said, “Go!” and even said, “Don’t ever come back! Take all your belongings.” He surrendered.

Yet Pharaoh chased them again to the Red Sea. God had already told Moses: “The Egyptians will come after you. I will bury them in the sea.” Moses was confident: “Stand still and see the deliverance of the Lord.” Most Egyptian soldiers died. But the devil does not die—he kept following them into the wilderness.

3) Blood – Passover. At the Passover, Pharaoh completely surrendered. Satan only surrenders to this. On the day of the blood sacrifice, they were freed. Hardships remained in the wilderness, but that has a reason. Even after turning from idolatry, troubles may come. Don’t fear. Know that it is already finished by faith.

Some go to shamans or hide their rituals even while attending church. It’s already finished. Why do hardships still come? There’s an important reason.

3. Light that overcomes the wilderness. God’s light that overcomes the wilderness. This is connected to the tabernacle and temple. In the wilderness, they thought they suffered—but it was not suffering.

1) Tabernacle of the Three Feasts. A tabernacle witnessing the evidence of the three feasts.

2) Tabernacle with the Ark of the Covenant. A tabernacle with the Ark to properly enjoy the Sabbath—a special blessing on the wilderness path.

3) Tabernacle of the Wilderness. The covenant tabernacle of the wilderness that brings miracles in the wilderness.

[ Five Books ] From this came five records: Genesis: the origin and solution to all problems. Exodus: deliverance from darkness. Leviticus: understanding true worship. Numbers: receiving definite inheritance of Canaan. Deuteronomy: imprint, root, and nature of God’s works to the next generation.

40 years in the wilderness was necessary for this. Know that your sufferings have a reason. That is why we build the tabernacle and temple to carry the light that removes darkness in Egypt and the wilderness.

Shine the light on Israel—they’re in darkness. Shine the light on Egypt—they’re in darkness. Shine the light on the wilderness—through this light, it will be passed to Canaan.

You must understand the reason and begin to pray. Evidence will come to you. Then, like David, you will say: “I only gave what the Lord gave me.” “God worked in my industry and my children’s future, so I gave it to Him.” “Joseph said, ‘God is with me.'” That will be your conclusion.

So this week, both the first and second messages are important. Through them, you receive the answer to prayer. Next week has its own blessing. But this week, you must pray. What did Samuel make first? He first built the temple inside himself. He first established the bartizan inside. Pray over this all week. Also, why are we building the temple? Pray over this all week. And next week will bring another message. Don’t miss this week. If you pray all week, you’ll be surprised at the conference. Another answer will come. Even the Saturday core message will be a complete answer.

▣ Conclusion. Let me conclude with three points.
1. Final field message (John 2:12-25) (Three Courtyards) Jesus’ final field message is found in John 2:12-25. Build a temple with three courtyards. Jesus got angry. He never got angry in His life, but here, He did.

2. Final pulpit (Three-Day Weekend Age) Where was Jesus’ final pulpit? The Mount of Olives. For 40 days, He spoke of the kingdom of God. Open the Fri-Sat-Sun age.

3. Final disciple (Acts 19:8) (Holy Meditation) What covenant did Jesus leave with His final disciple? One who understands this conclusion. Acts 19:8—Paul explained the kingdom of God boldly. This means the age of meditation. What is meditation? It’s the fulfillment of God’s kingdom.

You are the main figures of these three: A temple with three courtyards. A disciple who understands them. A disciple who opens the Fri-Sat-Sun age. A church that lives in the three-day weekend age. A business that enjoys it. The age of holy meditation that discovers hidden things. This is the answer you will enjoy. This church officer missions conference is extremely important. May you receive the blessing of being imprinted this week. In the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you. Let us pray.

Prayer This week, imprint us with the covenant You have given. Make us rooted and natured to completely overcome darkness. Let healing arise. Bind all darkness this week. Bind all curses and disasters this week. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Scripture Text: 1 Samuel 3:19

▣ Introduction: Incurable disease, depression, and difficult circumstances.

Thank you. Perhaps you have an incurable disease. You’d be distressed. Someone may be struggling with depression. Others might be in challenging circumstances. May those of you in such situations take the answer with you today. Hannah was a person who had an incurable condition—she could not bear children. She was so tormented that, with Peninnah continually provoking her, she fell into a state of depression almost to the point of mental illness. On top of that, the nation itself was undergoing great difficulty. You must take this critical answer with you today.

1. In times like this, people either pray the wrong way or think something that is not an answer is an answer.
When we are in such situations, we often pray incorrectly. And often, we mistake what is not an answer as if it were an answer.

1) Abraham thought material needs were the answer.
Initially, Abraham had not yet received the answer, but he kept mistaking non-answers for answers. God had already spoken an amazing answer to him in advance: “Go to the land I will show you. Through you, all nations will be blessed. No one will be able to stand against you. I will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you.” Even with all this, Abraham kept thinking that food, clothing, and shelter were the answer. As a result, he brought hardship upon himself.

2) People in the wilderness thought barely surviving was the answer.
When we have spiritual problems or are in a certain state, we often bring about our own hardships. It was the same in the time of Egypt. The people going through the wilderness thought that just surviving was the answer. Many people think this way. Even though God had already prepared amazing things—the tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, the three feasts—they couldn’t see those as the answer, and instead thought survival was the answer.

3) They thought defeating the Philistines was the answer.
In today’s passage, the Philistines constantly oppressed them. So, people thought defeating the Philistines was the answer. But that is not it. The answer is to build strength to overcome the Philistines, prevent their attacks, and ultimately evangelize them.

2. The way to receive the answer
At this time, people like Hannah and Samuel received the answer. How can one receive the answer? This is important. You must take this with you today. Hannah found it, passed it on to Samuel, and Samuel discovered it.

“But I have an incurable disease—what can I do?” There is a way. There is much evidence. “How can such an illness be healed?” There is only one way. Many people truly suffer from depression. Some people suffer severely from spiritual afflictions. It’s not just that they avoid life; when they try to live it out, family problems arise. Many are tormented like this. Some are in agony because of mental illness. On top of that, their field is difficult. Their workplace is hard. The nation is struggling. This is how it is. You must find the important answer today. What happened to Samuel? While praying, he heard God’s voice—what happened through that?

The temple and the ark of the covenant were not what mattered. God’s temple and God’s bartizan came upon Samuel first. “From that day on, not one word of Samuel’s fell to the ground.” Before going into the main message, you must first find the answer.

1) First, build the bartizan of the Lord within yourself.
Are you suffering from depression? Do you have spiritual difficulties? Don’t worry at all. You can’t remove it by trying to. First, build the bartizan of the Lord within you.

2) Make yourself into the temple of the Lord.
To put it more concretely, make yourself into the temple of the Lord.

3) Let the Word of God dwell in you. Wait for the Holy Spirit to work.
More precisely, make it so that the Word of God dwells in you. Wait for the Holy Spirit to work. Never give up. Don’t do other things. I’ve seen cancer patients who were given up on by hospitals be healed. Why? Because the bartizan of the Lord was established in them. Just as physical illness can come from shock, so can the body be healed through the fullness of the Spirit. Such things happen.

Remnants and our church officers, your lives are precious. Build the bartizan of the Lord first. Let the temple of the Lord be established in you. All other words are wrong. Jesus said they are thieves and robbers.  Let the bartizan of the Lord be established in you.

---

▣ Main Message
1. Samuel, upon whom the bartizan and temple of the Lord came, and the Word was fulfilled – the heavenly mandate
First, Samuel experienced the tabernacle, the temple, and the bartizan. This is the key.

1) Samuel lying near the ark of the covenant
In chapter 3, verse 3, it says, “Eli lay in his usual place.” The Word had been cut off. Eli lay in his own place, and Samuel lay near the ark of the covenant. The aged Eli lay in his own place, but the young Samuel lay by the ark. This is the answer. There is no other way.

When you have an incurable disease, will the doctor help you? Will your family help you? There is no way. When you suffer spiritually or have tormenting afflictions, who will help you?

2) Samuel heard the voice of God
At this moment, young Samuel heard the voice of God. But since he had never experienced this before, he wondered, “What is this sound?” The same voice came three times. Then, when he told Eli, Eli realized, “Ah, God is speaking to you. Listen carefully and tell me.” So he instructed him, “Say, ‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.’”

This is an enormous covenant.

3) From that day on, none of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.
“From that day on, not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” In simple terms, the heavenly mandate came upon him. Right? Don’t be discouraged. Don’t do other things. Don’t listen to other voices. If you have an incurable disease, a spiritual illness, or are in confusion, there is no one who can help you. So, the bartizan and the temple of the Lord were truly established. The Word came upon him.

※ 1 Corinthians 3:16
“Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?” This is certain. We must look at this the other way around. In simple terms, it’s like God is saying to a shaman, “Don’t you know that it’s not the Holy Spirit but an evil spirit dwelling in you?” Change it. Don’t you know it’s the spirit of Satan bringing destruction? Change it. There’s nothing more important than this. Why must we endure? Because it must be changed. Why shouldn’t we do other things? Because it must be changed. This is the key. This came upon Samuel. No further explanation is needed. You should begin that prayer today.

---

2. The prayer of Samuel, who possessed the bartizan and temple of the Lord, did not fall to the ground (1 Samuel 3:19).
Second, the prayer of the temple and bartizan of the Lord has now begun. “Not one word fell to the ground”—this means prayer began, and the answer came.

1) Samuel’s prayer with the bartizan and temple of the Lord became spiritual warfare.
This turned into powerful spiritual warfare. Samuel’s prayer, who had the bartizan and temple of the Lord, did not fall to the ground—what happened through this?

(1) When the Philistines attacked and stole the ark – Samuel’s prayer
The Philistines invaded. In the midst of saving people, Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, died. That wasn’t all. The ark was completely taken. Someone from that scene ran to report the news. When Eli heard it, he was so shocked that he fell backward and broke his neck. The ark was taken. Can you believe it? What was Samuel doing? That’s what’s important.

Just before this, it says that not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground. Right? Samuel’s prayer did not cease then.

(2) Disaster came upon every place the ark arrived
The Philistines recklessly took the ark. They placed it in a region called Ashdod. Why did they take it? Because they knew of the history behind it. They placed it in the temple of Dagon. The next morning was chaos. The idol Dagon had fallen face down—with its head and hands cut off. Disasters began striking the region.

They had done something unthinkable—taking the ark. Samuel was praying during all of this.

The prayer of one who possesses the bartizan and temple of the Lord is different. The Philistines were so terrified they had no choice but to move the ark to Gath. Gath was a place where giants lived—people with special military training. In simple terms, Goliath’s hometown. So they moved it there. Even greater disaster began. People were collapsing overnight. Some were afflicted with infectious disease.

So what did they do next? They moved the ark to Ekron. When it arrived in Ekron, the people were in an uproar. “Why did you bring that terrifying ark to our city? Are you trying to kill us all?” They protested and rioted. But they still brought it. The place became a sea of disaster and death.

(3) The ark returned
The Philistine leaders gathered and held a meeting. “We must return the ark. But we can’t just return it—we must send a guilt offering and repent.” So the ark was returned.

2) The prayer of one in whom the bartizan is established and who has become the temple
What was Samuel doing? Your hidden prayer—just one of those—can break down darkness like this. It’s not just that the power of God comes upon you. That prayer begins to influence elsewhere. Build the bartizan of the Lord. Do not fall into despair if you have depression—build the temple of the Lord. Let the Spirit of the Lord come upon you. Let the Word of the Lord be planted in you. When this comes upon you, it becomes the heavenly mandate and also your calling. Begin this prayer now. One in whom the bartizan is established and who has become the temple—their prayer never disappears. Remember this.

(1) On this rock I will build My church (Matthew 16:18)
When Peter confessed, Jesus said, “You are the rock.” That means you are the rock. “On this rock, I will personally build My church.” In the original language, it says, “I Myself will build My church.” That’s why it cannot be defeated.

(2) The gates of Hades will not overcome it (Matthew 16:18)
“The powers of darkness, the gates of Hades, will not overcome it.” They can’t. Why? Because the bartizan has changed. This is important.

(3) I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 16:19)
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Yes.

I once told someone with mental illness something like this. As I’ve said before: “You will never be healed.” They became discouraged. But I said, “If you know why you will never be healed, then you can be healed.” What’s the reason? “You keep placing yourself in spiritual pain. You blame your husband, your wife, someone else. It’s not that. It’s not the Philistines’ fault. It’s not Eli’s fault. It’s that the bartizan is missing within you.”

3) Calling
Samuel received and grasped this from his mother. Of course he did. “Not one of Samuel’s words fell to the ground.” The important Word of God began to come upon Samuel, and he was victorious in prayer over great events. He won without fighting. This is something ordinary people don’t understand. What does that mean? Can a pig understand a diamond ring? Can a dog understand an expensive gem? Without the Spirit of God, how could they know?

When this bartizan is established, even hidden prayers bring victory. His mother was the evidence. Samuel was the evidence. Experience it. “I will begin this prayer. I will become a temple where the Word of the Lord comes, and a bartizan of the Lord.” This is what we call calling.

3. Mizpah Movement
Third. This is not the end. The mission of the one in whom the temple bartizan is established now arises. That is the Mizpah Movement, which will be next week’s sermon. The Mizpah Movement arises. That mission appears.

1) Throw away all idols and come before the altar.
“All Israel must throw away idols.” “All Israel must come before the altar.” We’ll look at this next week. Because we must hold to the covenant.

2) God who struck down the Philistines in advance
The Philistines heard the news, but God had already struck them down.

3) Spiritual power that wins without fighting
“As long as Samuel lived, there was no war.” While Samuel was alive, the Philistines could not invade. This is the tremendous power to win without fighting. It means spiritual power. Spiritual power cannot be ignored. Because this power is with them. Not just the Philistines—darkness itself cannot approach.

You must build this power. We must raise the remnants. What remnants think as children—that lasts forever. Our church officers are important people. You must absolutely cultivate this power. Especially those of you ministering to multiethnic people—so many of you labor. That labor will never be in vain. This power must enter the multiethnic peoples.

※ What happens when parents pray with spiritual power?
You know what happened when the parents began praying with this power. When Joseph spoke of world evangelization, his brothers mocked him. But when Joseph said that, while his brothers mocked, Jacob treasured it in his heart. What must Jacob have thought later? Joseph’s dream, the covenant, was treasured in his heart, and then the son was gone. The brothers brought his bloodied robe. They lied, saying he was torn by wild beasts. How must Jacob have felt?

Then one day, news came—Joseph was alive. How must Jacob have felt? And he had become prime minister, ruling over the world. When Jacob heard that, what must he have thought? The powerful prime minister Joseph’s family—his children—went to Egypt. Joseph had prepared the land of Goshen.

At that moment, Jacob’s thoughts are revealed. Naturally, he would meet the king, since he was the prime minister’s father. Upon meeting him, Jacob raised both hands and laid them on Pharaoh’s head and blessed him. What does this mean? Pharaoh bowed his head and received the blessing. That was Jacob.

Your prayer does not end. Right? As you know, the prayer of one woman named Jochebed—what did that bring about? The greatest answer in all of church history came through Moses. Right? What happened through the prayer of one woman named Hannah?

▣ Conclusion
Let us conclude.

1. Matthew 4:19
Jesus, who fulfilled everything, said this: “Come, follow Me. I will make you fishers of men.”

2. Matthew 11:28
“Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” Jesus said this.

3. Mark 3:13-15
It says the Lord called those He wanted. The reason He called them: “That they might be with Him. That they might preach. That He might give them authority to drive out demons.”

4. Matthew 28:18, 20
The risen Lord said: “Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” How? “With all authority in heaven and on earth.”

5. Mark 16:19-20
In Mark 16, it says the Lord seated at the throne was with the disciples as they moved.

6. Acts 1:3
What did He promise last on the Mount of Olives? “With the throne, the kingdom of God, and with that work, I will be with you.”

※ Cultivate fundamental strength.
There’s no need to delay. On this Lord’s Day, all day, pray this prayer: “Grant me a bartizan to save my family line, the world, and the field. Let that sure covenant and temple come upon me.” Healing will occur.

What is the standard? It’s not just curing illness—but making it disappear entirely. You must cultivate fundamental strength.

Drug addicts say they can’t quit. They want to use it again. I heard the testimony directly. The Word of God and the Holy Spirit came upon him, and he couldn’t even remember why he had used drugs. “Why did I even do drugs?” he said. He couldn’t understand. He had no desire.

So he now visits prisons and shares the gospel. The Gospel is being testified. “I have depression.” Don’t worry. Change the bartizan. “I have a terminal illness.” Change the bartizan.

May today be your greatest day—in the name of Jesus Christ, I bless you. Let us pray.

Prayer
Lord, grant new grace this week. Grant new strength. Grant new grace and answers. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

2025.06.08 District Message 23rd Week
Scripture: Acts 1:8

---

Somehow, homeless people and beggars wander around anywhere. But ministers, presidents, and businessmen do not go just anywhere. They confirm first why they must go. People who think they have no value behave recklessly. But if you know, “I am a valuable child of God,” you cannot act carelessly.

Wherever you go, even tomorrow, always ask yourself three questions:

I – [Absolutely] – God’s Grace
“What is the grace of God that I must absolutely enjoy?” Even if you cannot find it, that’s okay. Finding too many things is also a problem. Even if you can’t find it, you must ask this question.

Field – [Absolutely] – God’s Grace
And ask, “What is the absolutely necessary grace needed in the field?”

Future – [Absolutely] – God’s Grace
Always ask, “What is the grace of God that must absolutely be there for the future?” If you do this, everything changes.

Right now, Rey is interpreting. This is a ministry reaching the whole world. You will come to realize it. And there are people working unseen behind the scenes — those taking photos, for example — they are doing the only ministry of its kind in the world. When you ask these questions, you will realize it.

You are here worshipping, but today is a once-in-a-lifetime day. Many nations observing world evangelization are watching. You are worshipping in that field.

You must ask these questions wherever and whenever:
“What is the grace of God I must absolutely enjoy?”
“What is the grace of God absolutely necessary in the field?”
“What is the grace and plan of God that must absolutely exist for the future?”

Even if you don’t find the answers, you must ask the questions.

「Disciples Who Achieve 300%」
This is called disciples who achieve 300%. How can you reach 300% if you do not ask these questions? Put another way, it means God is preparing 100% for me. If you don’t find this, you are foolish. God has already prepared 100% where I must go. God has prepared 100% for your future and life.

If you do not know how to be thankful for the blessings you have received and where you are now, it all becomes meaningless.

Even sitting here — “Ah, I am thankful” — only then will answers come. Think about a husband who works outside and brings home money. The wife must truly feel thankful for that. And wives work hard at home raising children — the husband must genuinely feel thankful.

If they don’t, it’s practically like being divorced. Divorce isn’t just legal divorce — you can live together and still be divorced. Those who don’t know gratitude.

You must recover 300%. Especially our remnants must prepare 300% in their studies. It’s much easier than you think. Many people misunderstand: “How can I do 300%? I can barely manage 100%.” But that’s not the point. “Absolutely” is what matters.

If you neglect what you absolutely must do and try to do many other things, it doesn’t make sense. A student must know what is absolutely necessary to study well. It’s the same. You are preparing 300%.

How should we do evangelism? I prepared while attending school. That was easier. I went to the field to see what it was like — that’s easier too. Teaching kids you’ve never met is harder. I wasn’t very bright, but I could figure out, “Ah, this is what I must do.” That’s 300%.

So much so that the answers came in overwhelming abundance — not just overwhelming for me but for everyone around me.

You must always remember this. If you are prepared, you can go to high places and to places of rejection.

How should you start?

1. Small Things
Start from small things.
1) 5 Basics
The Early Church started with five basics — from their homes, from the Upper Room. No need to go anywhere — just go upstairs and pray. When they met people, they helped them — that’s testimony. Team ministry. Gathered family members and empowered them — that’s a mission home. In the workplace, if someone was struggling, they gave strength — that’s a specialized church. In every region, someone is always in trouble — going to help them is a local church.

2) Acts 2:9-11
Then the doors to fifteen nations opened. Because they gained strength, 3,000 disciples arose.

3) Acts 3:1-12
Then they could see something they couldn’t see before — the cripple at the Beautiful Gate. They had seen him before, but now they truly saw him. “I must testify to Christ to this cripple. But how?” They must have prayed about it. That’s 300%.

2. Low Places
It’s not difficult. Go to the very low places.
1) Where There Is No Helper (Acts 3:1-12)
The man crippled from birth had no one to help him. Some gave him coins — but that’s not real help. He couldn’t escape being a beggar. Others carried him there — he was grateful, but that didn’t solve his problem. Peter and John saw this. “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!” A tremendous event occurred.

2) Samaria
Totally abandoned Samaria. No one would go there. But they went and proclaimed the gospel, performed miracles, and brought healing.

3) Ethiopia
The eunuch from Ethiopia. The Holy Spirit directed Philip to meet him. It wasn’t a grand conference, but a one-on-one meeting orchestrated by the Holy Spirit.

3. Invisible Places
Places unseen. A great persecution arose. It wasn’t immediately visible. People scattered.
1) Acts 11:19 (Persecution)
Those scattered people gathered and began to pray. This is how the blessing of 300% is enjoyed — the Antioch Church. It became a church that saved the world.

When persecution came, most people ran away and hid. But these people gathered. What did they do? They began to pray. That was the Antioch Church. God poured all blessings upon them.

2) Acts 13, 16, 19
In Acts 13, 16, and 19 — what was visible? Ordinary people and even Christian religious leaders could not see the spiritual disease of Nephilim. But Paul saw it.

He saw what others couldn’t. And he saw the important future.

3) Acts 17, 18, 19
They went into the synagogues. That is 300%. They did what absolutely must be done.

Even today, pray:
“Lord, give me the grace that I absolutely must have.”

The son of David, Jesus — heal me! That’s what they should have prayed. But they prayed, “Have mercy on me.” And Jesus opened His heart wide. “Have mercy on me.” Christ said, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” One word, and it was finished. When Christ works, it’s finished.

This is the 300% blessing. Today, as you worship, you must enjoy this blessing. Then it’s finished.

▣ Conclusion_ The Absolute Tower
What comes out then? The Absolute Tower is built.

This is what those facing all kinds of problems must enjoy. “Ah, hardship has come to me.” You must enjoy it. “Ah, sickness has come to me.” You must enjoy it.

Today’s age is not like before — you don’t unjustly die anymore. These days, even cancer can often be cured. So we must receive something important — the grace of God.

Today, find out through worship and prayer:
“What is the 300% for me?”
Find it through prayer today and confirm it through the Word.

Some people say strange things like, “You must practice,” but that’s not it. You cannot practice everything — you must do only what must be done. “Do your best” — that’s for people of low level who don’t even try. “Work hard” — that’s what you tell backward countries where people don’t even try despite having abundant resources.

But for those truly seeking answers, it’s not about working hard — it’s about doing what must be done.

“Lord, give me the grace that You must absolutely give me.”

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be that day for you.

Let’s pray.

Prayer
God, we thank You. Let today be a day of gaining new strength, a day of assurance, a day of holding onto the covenant. Grant us faith to be sure that what remains will be accomplished by God. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.
