Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:1-16

---

We are trying to build God’s temple. You must know what is happening right now. The tabernacle movement and the works that took place in Moses are being fulfilled even now. The answers that came to David and those who prepared the temple are now coming upon us. In the places where Paul’s teams moved, great temples still remain historically even now. The same answers are coming. So, although our church is surely praying much right now, we must create materials that can help people gain strength in their hearts. There is no need to provoke people. But there are things they must know. Right now, in these tremendous fields of darkness, people have nowhere to go, so they gather and do strange things. Those places are packed. Some even gather and act completely like insane people. In reality, in the field, many of the next generation are wandering in things like mental illness and drugs. We must have materials that can only result in saving such people, which people can confirm with their eyes. So, you can show that video before worship and then worship. After worship, you can watch the video and pray. And in some sense, because the churches of the world must pray, it is okay to do it in the middle of worship as well. In some sense, the whole world must look at our church and pray. So include these good materials about our multiethnic people who are coming and working. Send them out to the whole world so that people see and come.

▣ Introduction

1. Child
It says here, “Who would give something to a child?” It came out like this. A person of the flesh. It is saying, “You are still of the flesh, will that work?” There is jealousy and strife, so will that work? Can you receive great answers like that? No matter how wealthy the parents are, they do not give five hundred million won to a kindergarten child. Right? That child would die. But if they help or lend five hundred million won to someone running a business, they would do business with it. When a child is born and drinking milk, you cannot suddenly feed squid right away.

2. Construction
While saying this, it briefly speaks about construction. Construction done without faith is like everything burning up if a fire later breaks out. But a temple built firmly—with faith, it is speaking of faith—will be fine even if wind blows, rain falls, or fire breaks out.

3. Temple
While speaking about something quite important, the first important thing is, “The temple is in you.” So you must first receive this answer.
So you must briefly look at some of the promises Jesus gave. Why are you important? These are words that Jesus said at the very end after finishing all His work.

[ 1. John 14:16 ]
He said, “I will ask the Father.” “I will pray that the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, may be sent to you. And He will be with you forever.” That settles it, right? You must find this blessing. You are people who have received tremendous answers from God.

[ 2. John 14:26 ]
And in John chapter 14 verse 26, He explained it a bit more concretely. Before, in the earlier verse, He said, “I will ask the Father,” but then He took one step further and explained more concretely to you, “Pray in My name. If you pray in My name, the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, will come upon you. And He will make you remember all the words you have heard until now. The Holy Spirit will make you understand everything.”

[ 3. John 16:13 ]
And then in John chapter 16 verse 13 He said this. He explained it even more realistically. He spoke the answer. “When the Spirit of truth comes upon you”—in simple words, “When the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, comes upon you, He will guide you into all truth.” And He said something important. “He will tell you what is to come.” Everything has been said. It is actually finished. He gave something perfect. But there are not many who believe this and work. That is why these things (childishness, being of the flesh, jealousy, strife) arise. It is a chance to receive answers for the age, but many people behave like this (childishness, being of the flesh, jealousy, strife).

[ 4. Acts 1:8 ]
Jesus said this: “When this Holy Spirit comes upon you in fullness, you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

▣ Main
Now then, with these words, how should you begin? I will speak simply so you can enjoy it.

1. Bartizan of the throne [You are the temple]
In the morning, build the bartizan of the throne. Then it is done. It does not matter whether it is 5 minutes, 8 hours, or 3 hours. In the morning, build the throne. Why? “You are the temple.” He gave the answer. Because the Spirit of God is in you, you are the temple. Then you build the bartizan of the throne in this temple. Try it, and see whether or not answers come to your prayers. Answers come regardless of the problems arising around you.

2. Journey of the throne [Field–temple]
Second is the daytime. During the day, do not just go out; how must you pray? Go on the journey of the throne. Everything will be fulfilled. Why is that? The field is the temple. This is also important. Your workplace is the temple. The place of your business is the temple. Why? Because God is there.

3. Guidepost of the throne [Training–sending–temple]
Now lastly, what is important? It is the night prayer. Build the guidepost of the throne. What is it? You must call many people, train them, and send them. This is also the temple.
So these three are together.

1. Bartizan of the throne [You are the temple]
Then, when you receive this answer, what happens?

1) Tabernacle, tent of meeting, tent
At first, the tabernacle, the tent of meeting, and the tent—these three did all the work. It was simply the tabernacle, the same thing, but when it moved and they assembled, it was called the tent of meeting. It was also called the tent. It is the same word. But your house is called a tent. So all these houses were made facing the tabernacle. You receive this answer.

2) Three feasts
Within you, the three feasts are fulfilled.

3) Ark of the covenant
There is no impossibility. Within you will come the evidence of a dry staff sprouting. Right? Even though nobody helps you, an answer arises so that you can eat. And there is an unchanging covenant. That is the ark of the covenant. He gave the evidence.

4) Forty years in the wilderness
And you crossed the Jordan. After crossing the Red Sea, you crossed the Jordan and broke down Jericho. The forty years in the wilderness were recorded as the answers you must receive.

5) The LORD’s bartizan, journey, guidepost
And as Christ finished the three years of His public ministry at the end, He established in you, whose inside is the temple, this bartizan of the LORD. He told you to see the journey of the LORD’s throne within you and set up the guidepost. It cannot fail.
We have not come this far by using many human methods and doing many things. Only by the gospel and prayer—while you were only praying, now the doors for world evangelization are opening. It is tremendous. Right now, there are mid-level countries that serve as gateways into the 5,000 tribes, such as Vanuatu and the Solomon Islands. In this region, what is the desire of these people? It is to come to our church. They want to receive training. The visa is difficult. So what is their desire? They say, “Please, elders of Immanuel Church and Pastor Ryu, come.” From our perspective, we are not even doing that much, but as we look, we see that they are completely in the gospel. You must first do this prayer.

2. Journey of the throne [Field–temple]
Why is that? Because the field is the temple. Look at the evidence first.

1) Acts 13:1-5, 16:6-10, 19:8
In the field, they received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That place is the temple. Who can block this? To Macedonia. To the hall of Tyrannus. He led them exactly there and explained the kingdom of God.

2) Acts 13:5-11, 16:16-18, 19:8-20
Now, this is not all. There, works that broke the darkness took place. Because God is present, those completely demon-possessed were healed. Those with incurable diseases were healed. The root itself was healed. Luke, who was a doctor, carefully observed this. If ordinary people recorded it, they could not describe it in detail, but he was a doctor. So it was astonishing. He saw all of it and recorded it.

3) Acts 13:12, 16:15-40, 19:21
The governor became a disciple, completely. Not only Lydia, but also the jailer became a disciple. “You must also testify in Rome.”
This is the journey. During the day you can just enjoy this prayer. You can enjoy all of 7·7·7, but during the day you can enjoy in this way.

3. Guidepost of the throne [Training–sending–temple]
Now, as we end the day, we must hold the covenant before God; why then does He tell us to build the temple?

1) RT, TCK, CCK, NCK
We must call Remnants from all over the world. We must call TCKs. The term TCK refers to children of a third culture who are neither this nor that but somewhere in between. Within the culture of CCK, where believing in Jesus means death, there are disciples. There are NCKs who do not even have shoes. Even when they play soccer, what they are kicking is not a soccer ball but something wrapped and tied up. What is funny is that when I passed by, in Africa there was a golf course. But it was not a golf course. It was a thin layer of sand, just sand. Even then, they imitate it.

2) Three ages
So we need a temple that will open the three ages. We need something that will truly do 24, 25, and eternity in the three ages.

3) Monument
And here you build a monument where your covenant and footsteps remain forever.
As for our time, we will not necessarily do it that way, but speaking in human terms, we should write everything at the entrance. How much offering each person gave. In American churches, before they close down, because people hardly give offering, they walk around with a plate. By then, would that work? When they put the plate out, people see the money on it, so they are forced to give a lot. Then they do not even know what blessing is. That is why we build the temple. Put it even more simply—just make 7·7·7 into my bartizan. Make it simple. Make 7·7·7 into my journey. Make 7·7·7 into my guidepost. So that such people will come. They will come. If they truly realize it, they will be connected and come. That is more genuine. Then those who are truly to receive training must come to our church, be able to receive training comfortably, rest, and then go out as disciples. This system is necessary.
At times, we do not need to build lodging. How is it written in the Bible? They took them into their homes. That is why houses appear throughout the Bible. I used to wonder why so many houses were introduced in the book of Acts, thinking, “Is this some sort of real estate office?” But it was not that. It was by this that God completely fulfilled world evangelization.
Because you are those who pray, you must pray. Why is it that we cannot build quickly? It is because God does not want it built quickly, so why force it? If we had built it ten years ago, there would be none of these messages now. Right? God is doing it after He has made sure we receive all the answers. So there is nothing to worry about. You must pray continually, and with sincerity help the congregation so that their hearts are genuinely stirred. So if you pray, there are many things you will see. You will see the opposite side as well. You will truly see idols being made to destroy the world. You will truly see thirsty souls wandering because they have nowhere to go. You must show that. That is why all our members must pray, unite their strength, and wait.
So now it is almost complete; simply put, this land is like a land of treasure. Then what is the problem? You know this, right? The elders are suffering a great deal right now. The road must be completed. For the road to be completed—this is not even a secret—you just need to pray. There are dozens, hundreds of owners around it. So they are going one by one, persuading them and obtaining their consent. You must push them strongly from behind with prayer. Then this land becomes golden land. Otherwise, because of that one road, this land dies.
At one time, it was in the newspaper. Someone wrote regarding our land and this road, called a “watch road,” “Designate this as a permanent green area.” Then who makes the decision? The district and city council members decide. By what do they decide? By vote. Why? Because this land is important, they want to lock all the roads. At that time, when that district chief—Park, who was it?—when that chief was there, this person’s secretary directly called me. He does not even believe in God, but said, “Pastor, God has blessed you. This is probably a place where people from all over the world will come. We voted and decided not to lock it.”
So although you may be saying various things without knowing, we have been looking over this entire land and have begun to develop it piece by piece. From what I can see, not much time is left. You must pray steadfastly, offer with true sincerity while looking to the age, and do this. Your prayers must be contained there. Right? The covenant must be contained there. Do not those who sing praise contain prayer in what they do? It is different. When we look at musicians nowadays, when do we feel that they are good? When the song that is contained in that person’s heart is conveyed to our heart, then we say they are good. You must truly do something before God that contains your heart. To David, who had nothing at all, God said, “I looked only at your heart.” All of the spiritual world begins from the heart. So even at the very end as they were coming out of the wilderness, He said, “Love the LORD with all your heart, mind, and strength.”
There is a lecture for the middle-level trainees at 5 o’clock today on what kind of person you must become. I will surely speak then. The elders must surely receive that answer.

▣ Conclusion
Then what is the conclusion today?

1. Strength (24)
What is the secret by which all our church leaders actually gain strength? That is 24. The term 24 does not mean you do nothing else and only do that. True prayer has no fixed time. You do it 24. Right now, as you speak in earnest prayer, that is 24. Joseph went as a slave. Could he say to his master, “I will go and do my scheduled prayer”? Would that make sense? He prayed while he was a slave. That is where the works arose. 24. From within every difficulty, he found the answer. He discovered that God was with him. Others could see it and knew—Immanuel. Later, unbelievers saw and knew—oneness. This is what appears. 24. You must certainly understand this.

2. Answer (25)
What then is the real answer as you are praying? That is 25. Right? The true answer is that the power of the throne appears. It is completely beyond understanding, is it not? It cannot be understood.
So King Alexander asked his officials, “Why is it that people who believe in Jesus do not perish even though they suffer so much?” The king asked this. Because he was a king who ruled the world, he asked, “Why do these people with the gospel of Israel not perish?” Then one of his officials answered, “You must read the Bible.” He said, “Everything is in there.” So Alexander gave the command. “Translate the Bible.” A scholar must know two languages. Since the Bible was written in Hebrew, he had to know Hebrew, and he had to know Greek in order to translate it into their language. Right? So they gathered those who were proficient in Hebrew and in Greek. They recruited such people. They recruited them and seventy people were gathered. He had them translate it. “You must read the Bible. You must see the amazing works of God recorded inside.” It took one hundred years to translate it. Then those who died during the work were replaced to keep the number. That is how they completed the translation. Then, in Greek—it was Greek, the Hellenistic language—it began to spread throughout the world. That is called the Septuagint. In English it is called the Septuaginta. What is the real answer? It is unimaginable. 25.

3. Blessing (eternity)
And what is the true blessing you will receive? It is this. It is eternal. It is not something that appears and disappears; it is eternal.
So holding onto this covenant, truly, in the morning, daytime, and night…

〔Morning〕
In the morning, you must gain strength. It is good to sleep a lot, but not necessarily always. Your brain is filled with waste. You must wake up and pray, breathe, and exercise. Those over sixty must do this no matter what. The system inside your body is changing. You must gain strength in the morning.

〔Daytime〕
During the day, you go on the journey of the throne. You must have eyes to see everything as answers and blessings. Right? Did some difficulty come? No. You must have eyes. You must be able to see something better. You must be able to see what is truly God’s. When? During the day. In the field.

〔Night〕
At night, you obtain the answer. You confirm the Word of God. It will be tremendous.
Because church leaders are people who have received a special blessing, I will speak on this at the final lecture of the middle-level training at 5 o’clock today. You must believe. It is written that when you believe, “it is credited as righteousness.” When you believe, our spirit gains strength. You must take courage. When you believe, the spiritual world changes. In fact, when you believe, our brain and our body are revived. When you believe what? When you believe God’s eternal covenant and the gospel. Let us pray.

Prayer. We thank God who has given us the Word again today. Let us build the temple within us, let us build the temple in our field, and let us build here the temple that will save the world. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

1. Find the excitement of worship In today’s worship, I bless you in the name of the Lord that there will be the greatest new grace. What happens when we give worship? The unseen work of the Triune God takes place. The unseen power of the throne comes upon us. So you must be excited during the time of worship. If you cannot find that, in fact, you will not see answers.

1. Praise When our choir offers praise, what kind of time is that? The heavenly armies are mobilized, and great things happen at the throne. Also, when you sing praise together, amazing works that move heaven and earth actually take place. Therefore you must truly be filled with excitement. That is proper praise.
2. Representative prayer When the elders give representative prayer, God is set to answer that prayer. Right? So together with an excited heart, you must pray for the elder.
3. Offering When you give offering, many people just casually toss it in like a flick. It is the only way for the 3 economies to be restored. Right? Since I realized that, I have never faced economic hardship. Wherever I went, the evangelism movement arose. Worship must be exciting. Look at married people. People dating. They are thrilled and spend 24 hours together every day, and after 3 years, they say they cannot even stand to look at each other. Why is that? Because that excitement did not continue. Right? The excitement did not continue. Right? Why? Because they do not have it or they fail to find it. So they say they live together because they have no choice. They say they live like comrades. There is no excitement. There must be excitement in worship.
4. Empty time And during the empty time, you must hold onto the Word and wait for God to work upon you today. So internally I say, “Oh, the churches say they don’t have a budget.” Inside I say, “That makes no sense.” It is because they have not received blessing. Right? In fact, they do not know economy. Moreover, they do not know the light economy, the missions economy, the Remnant economy. So when you give offering in the church, in all churches, people must be excited. You must change your thoughts for answers to arise.

2. Change your thoughts and open your eyes To those in underdeveloped and difficult nations, to the Remnants, I ask you: you must think differently. Not, “We must receive help,” but “Which 5,000 tribes must we save?” In fact, there are surprising things among those 5,000 tribes. Astonishing resources are buried there. Right? Not long ago, I saw that the time of using solar energy is coming and that 90% of that energy is in Africa. I rode a train for several hours across the wide land in Thailand. There are tremendous energy resources. Remnants serving in America must not be deceived. America is the wealthiest nation in the world. Right? It is not “We need to receive help.” It is “Whom must we help?” You must open your eyes to this.

3. Special prayer topic Many churches are closing. This is a serious matter. Why is that? Today, I will give you a special prayer topic. For those who will become pastors, politicians, or those who will become legal professionals or professors, or those who will become medical personnel, and those who will become special professionals—for such people, there must be an elementary school inside the church. You must imprint them properly. If not, they cannot move the world. In the end, they will merely serve the world and leave. They do this and that and say, “Maybe I should try becoming a pastor?” Would that work? You must raise them starting in elementary school. Politics is a harsh road. Right? It can be considered a road of death. If they do not gain spiritual strength from elementary school, they cannot overcome. Just at this time, there is a person arising in our church who can do this, so we must truly do it while praying.

▣ Introduction_ Imprint from childhood

1. Joseph What kind of answer was this? The background that enabled him to understand Genesis 37:1–11 must be formed in childhood. Benjamin is okay. Why? He never saw his mother’s face. No problem, right? He thinks not having a mother is normal. When Joseph was young, his mother suddenly passed away. That became a scar. How did he overcome this? From early childhood Joseph learned and was taught prayer through God’s blessing. He changed the world.
2. Moses As you know, Israel became slaves in Egypt. The adults had no strength to overcome. God placed a kindergarten-aged child into the Egyptian palace. He placed him there after clearly teaching him the gospel and prayer. You know what happened.
3. Samuel During the time when fourteen generations of leaders changed, Israel continued to suffer under the Philistines. It could not be solved by generals. It could not be solved by soldiers. God planted power in the newborn Samuel. We must teach that.
4. David When David was young, while guarding the sheep, he already learned prayer, praised, and wrote all his psalms. It happened in childhood. What happened to David was a natural result. In the past, politicians taught incorrectly telling people to have fewer children, so now people do not have children. That is a natural result. Do we have children when we are in elementary school? They even posted that inside classrooms. They should have told that to married women. Even when I was in elementary school, I saw posters saying, “Do not discriminate between son and daughter; have only two and raise them well.” They kept teaching not to have many children, so this result came. God has a plan. He will open the age of multi-ethnicity.
5. Paul If you do not imprint them from childhood, they cannot move the world. That is why Paul sought out the synagogue. Remember this.
6. Deuteronomy 6:4–9 Love the Lord with all your heart, and imprint the amazing works that have happened up to now in your children. Then what must we teach and what must we enjoy and teach? When God brought them out of Egypt, He spoke: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength. Teach the amazing works that have taken place until now to your children.” It is not just that. “Bind them on your forehead and on your wrist.” You always see it. When it is on your forehead, you see each other. “Write them on your walls, on your pillars, on your doorposts, on the ground.” What does that mean? Imprint in childhood. Then unimaginable things will take place.

▣ Main_ What to enjoy and teach
So what must we enjoy and teach?

1. Spiritual imprinting – healing of darkness
First. There are three things we must surely do, and this is the first. In early childhood, imprint spiritually so that healing of darkness takes place. Therefore, the Remnants who must do great works must be trained from infancy and toddler age; the most important time is elementary school. From elementary school, plant the power of the gospel and prayer. Because this problem comes from birth, we must do it.

1. Genesis 3, 6, 11: the Garden of Eden incident, the Nephilim age, the Tower of Babel age In the Garden of Eden, Satan tempted Eve and collapsed Adam. Right? In the time of the Noah flood, the Nephilim age came. Then the age of building the Tower of Babel where humans thought they did not need God. It continues. Our posterity must live in that world. So we must imprint the spiritual and heal.
2. Acts 13, 16, 19: idolatry, believing the words of demon-possessed people No one even teaches them, yet they go to worship idols. They bow to something they made. They do not believe God’s Word but go to hear demon-possessed people and believe what they say.
3. Six states of unbelievers In the end they think they are living as they wish, but actually they are tied as children of the devil. Naturally, spiritual problems come. Soon physical problems come. And these are transmitted to descendants. Right? It does not end there. They have a completely different background. The fact that we received salvation is an enormous statement. The background is different. Haven’t you seen people when they die? They cannot lie at the moment of death. They say what they see. Those who are not saved all say the same thing. They are afraid. Because they must go to hell. Because the devil comes to drag them. How frightening must that be? Some even grind their teeth and tremble horribly. The background is different. Those who are saved, naturally, ask for hymns to be sung. It is different.
4. Darkness that entered the family line and home This tremendous darkness entered the family line and household. So for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary children, we are laying a foundation that lasts into eternity.
5. Darkness that entered me In Seoul, in the church, there is an elementary school. And now teachers have begun rising here in Busan saying they will start one. Until elementary school, an unchangeable foundation is formed. That is why even when they become adults, they cannot pray. This is serious. Their spiritual state becomes desolate, so they cannot pray. At best they can do program prayer—like going up the mountain and shouting “Lord!” three times. But they cannot truly pray. One day spiritual limits come. They studied well but spiritually are weak. It is certain. What must we do? And some with excellent academics lack spiritual strength and say, “The thing I want most is to die.” Because it is too hard. That is what will happen to our children.
6. Darkness that entered the church Even if you go to church, it is useless. People say, “How could Apostle Peter make such a mistake, eating at Cornelius’ house?” They say that. They might have said to Peter, “The church atmosphere here is like this.” Never say such things. No matter how many flawed people gather, the church is God’s church. Do not misunderstand that. No matter how incompetent the people are, the church is God’s church. Then, of course, those people must come. Jesus said, “Satan has built a house inside you.” Second Corinthians 10:4–5 says, “He has built a stronghold.” So they cannot pray and cannot live the life of faith. They serve the devil as the god of this world and the ruler of this world. We must heal this in childhood.

2. Spiritual strength – the root
Second. From early childhood, what must you first enjoy and give? We must plant spiritual strength. Right?

1. Because they know nothing spiritual, they have no real strength at all They do not know anything spiritual, so they have no real strength.
   (1) Those who will perish see the gospel as foolish and worthless (verse 18) What is lacking? “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing.” It says that. They think sitting like this is foolish. To those who will perish, the gospel seems laughable and worthless. That means they are children of the devil and doomed. Our children must go into such a world.
   (2) Because one cannot know God through human wisdom, God saves through the foolishness of preaching (verses 19–21) Verse 19 says, “It is written.” That means there is evidence. “Has God not destroyed the wisdom of the wise and frustrated the intelligence of the intelligent?” He presents evidence. Throughout history, have not those considered wise created problems? Verse 20 asks, “Where is the wise person?” If someone like me asked, it would have little meaning, but Paul was very learned. Paul asked, “Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? Do you not know?” He is questioning. Remnants must know this. Faith is not something simplistic. Verse 21 says, “With their own wisdom they cannot know God.” So “What you consider foolish, the foolishness of preaching, God chose to save.” If we do not quickly heal our Remnants from childhood, problems surely come later. Then we must teach what real power is. They have no real strength, and they do not know what the result will be.
   (3) We believe and preach Christ crucified (verses 22–23) In verse 21, “Not only can they not know God by their wisdom,” verse 22 says, “The Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, but we preach Christ crucified.”
2. True power – Christ So verse 24 says, “Christ is the power of God.” And he begins to explain true power.
   (1) Christ is the power of God (verse 24) Verse 23 says, “We believe and preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the Greeks.” And what does it say next? “But to those who are saved, Christ is the power of God.” We must teach this.
   (2) Which is better: God’s foolishness or man’s wisdom? (verse 25) Verse 25 asks, “Which is better, God’s foolishness or man’s wisdom? Which is better, man’s highest ability or God’s most basic thing?” He questions. Our posterity must be within this blessing. We must teach this power.
   (3) The reason He called you Why did God call people like you who have no status or wisdom? Strangely, “He chose the foolish to shame the wise, and He chose the lowly to shame the noble.” Why did He call you? He is confessing: “No flesh can save itself. You cannot save yourself. That is why God put Christ on the cross to save us. No one can boast. We boast only in the Lord.” This is true power. We must teach this.
3. Power to overcome the world We must be able to overcome the world. We must not be deceived. That is power. Even though the scammer is bad, the one who gets scammed is also partly at fault. Right? Why are they deceived? Because they try to gain something. They bring many things to us saying, “This is a great thing…” We do not even listen. We say, “Take that great thing to someone else,” and they rarely return. So many things come. We do not need them. The greatest power is this: not being deceived. The answer also appears in the second service, but today you must know what true spiritual power is. Then even when problems come, you are not afraid. Because you know.

3. Spiritual mission – the nature
Third. We must plant spiritual mission. This power must take root, but this mission must become our nature. What kind of mission?

1. God led those who went to the lowest place to the highest place Those who went to the lowest place—God led them to the highest place. Joseph went as a slave, yet God brought him out as a prime minister. Moses went as an adopted child, yet God brought him out as a world leader. This is spiritual mission. We must teach this. Samuel was separated from his parents in childhood, yet God made him a leader who moved the world. A shepherd became a king. From the lowest place to the highest place. This is the true power of mission. He taught this. They were taken as captives yet began teaching the kings of the nations that took them captive. This is the power of the gospel. For 250 years, ten emperors of Rome brutally killed Christians. Yet something unimaginable happened. After 250 years almost all became Christian. Politicians originally have little real power—what counts is votes—same then, same now. They had no choice but to declare Christianity the state religion. Who could stop it? When you plant the gospel correctly in one little child, especially a multi-ethnic child, you do not know what will happen. There must be excitement about that. Without excitement, no answer. Right? “What Word will God give today?” There must be excitement. “What blessing will He give this week?” Right? Because it is certain. That must exist.
2. You will be witnesses of what Jesus Christ gave over 40 days Jesus Christ gave something truly exciting and tremendous during the 40 days. The Triune God said, “You will be the bartizan of the throne. From now on, go the journey of the throne with that power.” Something even more amazing: “Wherever you go, you will establish guideposts of the throne. You shall be witnesses to this.” You must be excited. Pastors listening to this message all throughout the nation and the world—somewhere, absolute bartizans are already prepared. You must be excited. “Where are they?” If that excitement is absent, that is not evangelism.
3. Paul, who obtained this answer Paul received the most answer regarding this. Right? So Paul laid down all his knowledge. He laid down everything he boasted of. And he testified everywhere he went that he met Christ. More importantly, Paul was not present during the 40-day teaching. Yet he testified boldly about the kingdom of God.

▣ Conclusion

1. What remains at the end of life – the souls evangelized (1 Thessalonians 2:19) What remains at the end of your life? When God calls us, what remains? All the things you stored at home are useless. You cannot take them. You must go. All that money saved because you did not give offering—useless. You cannot take anything. Nothing remains. But 1 Thessalonians 2:19 tells what remains. “When we stand before God, what is our crown? It is you.” Right? If you go to the eternal world—heaven—and there is not even one soul you evangelized, what will happen? What remains is only what is eternal, and that is all. So you must make a decision.
2. All suffering and answers are part of the process – fulfillment of the Word (world evangelization) is the greatest answer and blessing The Remnant 7 faced suffering. It was not suffering. They also had many good things. That was not the answer. It was the process. What happened to the Remnant 7? God’s Word was fulfilled. World evangelization was accomplished. There is no greater blessing.
3. Because we are not aligned with this, He promised to be with us with all authority in heaven and on earth Being aligned with this is amazing. Because we are not aligned, He promised, “I am with you always with all authority in heaven and on earth.” That is why He explained the power of the throne. Today, as you pray throughout the day seeking the answer you must receive, you must pray to God earnestly with an excited heart. A person can die from the shock of a moment. Right? On the contrary, healing can happen in the moment one is filled with the Holy Spirit. What if the work of the Holy Spirit arises in your work field, in your studies? What is happening right now? What took place in Mark’s upper room is being fulfilled exactly. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day you receive important power.

Prayer. We give thanks to God. May today become that day; may it become a day of new grace; may it be a day when darkness is broken; may it be a time when every disease is broken; may it be a time when all human evil is broken. May it be a time of healing. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Acts 18:1-4

---

Gorin Evangelism Church and the temple.
Paul – Priscilla
When we talk about the Corinthian church, two people are representative. It was Paul and Priscilla, the married couple.

[ Personal picture ]
From now on, you must each draw your personal picture.

[ 1. Church leaders – Moses, Paul ]
Our church leaders must not think, “We are old.” That is not a biblical statement. Be like Moses. Moses started at eighty. He worked forty more years, and it says that even when he went to be with the Lord he was still strong. And when Paul was close to eighty, he said this: “I have not yet attained anything.” And then he spoke about what he would accomplish in the future. That was when he was in a situation of being almost eighty.

[ 2. Young adults – 300% ]
And our young adults must prepare for 300% starting now. You must always draw this picture in your mind. Then even during worship it becomes prayer. Then when you go to the field it becomes prayer. Because this picture is not clear, we keep changing from time to time.

[ 3. Remnants – imprint, root, nature ]
Especially for our young remnants, this is now completely the time to imprint the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. We are doing these three things.

[ Historical buildings ]
Because God builds the temple, as you know, in the early church, church leaders were raised one by one. They left behind historical buildings that you simply cannot understand. Many people go to see them when they travel. “How did they build this?” Even though they are old, they do not collapse. I went to some places and they said that the pillars alone were a thousand years old.

[ Heart, thoughts, brain, soul, throne ]
So the meetings of these people became extremely important meetings. And there are times when what is contained in your heart and what is contained in your thoughts become the same. This becomes imprinted on your brain and imprinted on your soul. This connects with the throne.

[ Answers ]
Then answers absolutely come. This is the principle of answers. The United States is a big nation. So underneath it we say South America, and above it we call North America. But while North America, the United States, is well off, South America is not. Why? Because they keep thinking about receiving help. Then they must continually be helped. If you keep speaking unbelief, the fruits of unbelief will continually appear. You must discover God’s blessings, but if you do not discover them and keep living like that, your life becomes like that. These days our nation has become much brighter, and because we must do world evangelization, many blessings are coming. Even when we say the same word, in Korean we say, “The bird cries.” We see a bird and say it is crying as it makes a beautiful sound. In English they express it as, “The bird sings.” When something shocking happens, in Korean we immediately bring out all kinds of harsh consonants. But when something shocking happens to them, they immediately say, “Oh my God!” It means, “Oh, my God.” Even in very urgent situations, when we get angry, we say all kinds of things, but they say, “Jesus Christ.” The words are a bit different. So as you, as individuals, grow older, you must draw a clear picture. Because the seven remnants had a clear picture, everything changed into blessings. Because Joseph had a clear picture of world evangelization and held onto it, everything became blessings. For Joseph’s brothers, everything turned into hardship. They were all sons of the same father, but it was like that.

▣ Introduction_ The first temple [ David ]
So what about this temple—what was the very first temple? The representative figure here is David. He prepared this.

1. The temple of the heart (imprint)
   What did he do first? David first built the temple in his heart. He prayed in his heart that it would surely be built. That began to be imprinted. So God said to David, “Just by looking at your heart.”
2. The temple of faith (root)
   And he first built the temple of faith that would save the whole world. This began to take root.
3. The spiritual temple (nature)
   Then God revealed everything about how to build it. He completely built a spiritual temple in that. This became completely David’s nature. Before the physical temple was built, he used the word “temple” many times. So from now on, it is fine for the remnants to make it visible to their eyes. Draw a clear picture.

▣ Main Message
Now then, we need to go into the main message a bit, using the book of Acts.

1. Priscilla and Aquila – The temple of faith
   This is what you must absolutely enjoy first. It is the temple of faith that the Priscilla and Aquila couple built. You must absolutely have this.

1. Acts 2:10
   First, they participated in the Mark’s upper room, which was the field of the greatest answers. They also passed this picture on to Apollos.
2. Acts 18:1–4
   Then, because they faced hardship, they had to leave Rome, but that changed into the greatest blessing. So you do not need to worry about hardship. At the moment you think about it, hardship seems worrisome, but that is not so. In the end, they were almost driven out of Rome, but they were not driven out. They came to meet the evangelists of the age.
3. Acts 18:24–28
   They passed on this picture of the temple and of prayer to Apollos.
4. 1 Corinthians 16:19
   Before the temple was built, the regional temple was made first. That is 1 Corinthians 16:19.
5. Romans 16:3–4
   And as you know, they once again jumped into the evangelization of Rome. It has been confirmed that their graves are currently in Rome. This is the temple that is built first. Right now, all of you are doing ministry to multiethnic people and healing ministry. This is already building the temple first.

2. The temple God desires
   If so, what is the temple God desires? These days, as I think, one thought keeps coming: if we had done the temple construction according to our original prayers, it should have finished ten years ago. Right? If it had been like that, we would have missed the important message we are now holding onto and seeking. This must be done first. The temple must first be established in my heart, in my faith, and spiritually, and then the works follow. It is not that things will be done just because we have a building.

[ The temple that people cannot help but come to ]
The important thing here is that, in the future, we must build a temple that people cannot help but come to.

1. Three courtyards – a place of rest
   If we prepare three courtyards, people will have no choice but to come. We must make this 300%. Answers will continue to come. Later, it will become known all over the world. A wind can blow among the multiethnic people saying, “Let us go to Immanuel Church in Busan.” Then we just need to train them and send them out. That is why we must not just do things thoughtlessly; we must teach them one skill at a time so that, when they go back, they can reproduce. Our elder Kim Sung-su and others who are currently working with the multiethnic people are doing so thankfully and well, but if multiethnic people come, it is also fine to have them learn a skill and send them back. In our country it might not be that popular, but abroad, things like hairdressing are 100% popular. So while it is important to invite them, cut their hair, and send them back, what is more important is to call people from there, teach them the skill, and implant it. Taekwondo is now difficult to run in Korea, but it is very popular abroad. In the past, when Americans did not recognize Korea, one of the things they recognized was Taekwondo. So we must make it so that they can reproduce. Therefore, the most important thing in the three courtyards is that they must be a place where multiethnic people, the sick, and remnants can rest. With multiethnic people, you cannot be too strict and overly clear-cut. There is a hidden reason that these people cannot settle down in a church in Seoul. What is it? They keep hiding. They keep changing churches. So we cannot train them as disciples. Why is that? Visas. There are many with no visa. If they are too exposed, they get caught. So they keep avoiding such places. In the United States there are also many people who are caught because of visa issues. There are many Koreans like that too. So it must be said, “Immanuel Church is a church where you can rest.” It must be, “It is the safest church, like my own home.” If you continue to edit, plan, and design just a little more, this will come out. Here too, 300% comes out. Then multiethnic people have no choice but to flock. The sick will not come saying, “I hurt here and there,” but those who feel, “Ah, I need fundamental healing,” will gather. We show the way to the remnants. If we make this, people cannot help but come. Right now is just the beginning. Is not the Word frequently given and fulfilled?
2. The three-day weekend age – concentration
   Especially, what is the three-day weekend age? We must absolutely think about utilizing the mountain. Because we need a place where people can concentrate. In reality, for an individual, it should be that you come, read the Bible alone, pray, rest, and then come to the worship time. But there is no such place. Surprisingly, Buddhist temples have all of that. So even though temples do not evangelize, they keep increasing. Groups even come from outside to tour the temples. When they come, there is much to see. In this way they skillfully deceive people. Right? As I said in the morning, among your prayers there is the prayer of raising your voice. It is the most effective. But where do you have a small room to shout and pray? The church does not have such a place. Your prayer of raising your voice, the prayer of breathing, and the prayer of meditating on the Word are tremendous prayers. For example, if Elder Kang Chil-se sits in some corner and starts shouting, Elder Jo Ki-beom will be surprised and wonder, “What is he doing?” Right? It becomes like that. We do not understand the power of concentration, but when we concentrate, tremendous power comes out. Without realizing it, the brain comes alive. That is why, when you see a good environment and just say, “Ah, this is good,” you become revived. Just seeing that beautiful sea and the horizon and saying, “Ah, this is so good,” makes you come alive. So we must make it so that people cannot help but come. But the perfect opportunity is that this land of ours is no ordinary land, in fact. We bought it without knowing, but the land of Immanuel Seoul Church is no ordinary land. From what I see, we can do all three things there. We can have some place to rest, some place to concentrate. When Dr. Kim Jun-gon was alive, I often met him, and once he contacted us saying that he would visit the RUTC. It was just before he passed away, and he toured our RUTC. Then he told me something somewhat important. He asked whose the mountain was. I said that some of it was ours and some of it belonged to others. He said, “Make this a place of prayer.” And he said, “And if possible, when you gather people from all over the world, it is fine to put up tents here in the summer and hold conferences. Make it a place of rest where people come and rest.” That is what he said. It was quite an old-style suggestion, but I thought, “There is truth to this.” When hundreds of thousands of multiethnic people gather, there is no other way.
3. Holy meditation – crying out
   And as we open the age of holy meditation, this must be a temple where our members can do holy meditation. Among prayers, the greatest prayer is actually the prayer of crying out. The church cannot do this. We cannot do it during worship, and apart from going alone to a place where there are no people, we cannot do it. That is why He did not just tell Jeremiah to pray but said, “Call to Me.” In the past, when I drove my car alone, I did this prayer a lot. Truly a lot. These days, if I did it, our secretaries would be surprised, so I do nothing and stay quiet.

3. The temple that remains in history
   Now, it does not end there. We are preparing a temple that remains in history.

[ Eternity ]
The temple that remains in history means that, while you are here for just a short while and then go, the gospel movement and the temple are eternal.

1. Footprints
   You must leave your footprints here.
2. Monument
   Especially, we must at least leave something that says, “Ah, they did missions in such and such a nation.” Whether we receive blessings or not is not the issue. The direction God desires must be correct.
3. Answers
   Here, we leave three important answers.

(1) Bartizan of the throne
What is that? It is the bartizan of the throne that Jesus taught. The number can be whatever you receive in your answers. While I was praying, I found seven places, and because they were connected, I went out with them. There can be more, or there can be fewer.

(2) Journey of the throne

(3) Guidepost of the throne
When we come to the temple and pray, we must see the journey of the throne and leave the guidepost of the throne. This is eternal. So it becomes a church that people cannot help but come to. The people who first built the temple by faith gather there. And we go forth holding onto this picture. Then, if necessary, when our church reaches that point, all the members can take turns fasting in a relay, one day at a time. If you fast one day, your stomach shrinks and it is very good. So we keep doing it. When we were in the basement, we did this for three years. After doing it for three years, the door of world evangelization opened. It did not make sense. People from all over the nation and world were flocking to a 35-pyeong basement, and we could not handle it. We put up tents and borrowed other people’s houses, but even then we could not handle it. One pastor came in and stayed, but so many people were pushing in that he said he could not breathe. At that time it was to that extent. Now God is finally guiding us with the timetable of opening the door to the 5000 tribes.

▣ Conclusion
But there is something we must look at carefully.

1. A church where disciples gather
   First, because this important gospel disappeared, these temples have now all changed into places where tourists gather. These people built monumental temples showing how they had received answers. In places like England, when you see the temples, they are so big that you are shocked. But there is no worship, no believers, no gospel there, and only tourists gather. Because so many tourists come, they make money. At such a time, we must be a church where disciples gather. From now on, we must look at the age and prepare 300%. Especially for our two elders who are in music, you must prepare so that tourists who come to our church can see praise and musicals and such things. You must prepare, with much prayer, what to prepare. These things are greatly related to the opening of the multiethnic age. So we must be a church where disciples gather. In that sense, even if you remove all other skills in the future age, music and praise will become first priority in missions. I said something about this to Seoul already, but there has been no response; please study it. Why are those thirteen or fourteen island nations so important? Because they are the way to the 5000 tribes. So you must go once when they hold music festivals in places like Vanuatu. Only then can you praise together with those people. If you have never seen them once, it will take much more time. Then, we went to Africa. You have seen them praise in Africa, right? There is something amazingly different from us. Not a single person reads sheet music. They just do it. But they are good. Then, what must we do in order to hold a grand performance with them, using our sheet music together? So when we went last time, the president asked us to help educate their children. We must be a church where disciples gather.
2. 300% by field
   So, all the specialists in every field among you must prepare 300% in your respective fields. Then even if you tell them not to come, they will come.
3. Picture of the temple
   So, when you pray for the temple, what picture should you draw, besides your personal picture?

1. Multiethnic people (the three-day weekend age)
   You must draw the picture of multiethnic people flocking in and being sent out. This is mainly what we do during the three-day weekend age.
2. 2000–700 (holy meditation movement)
   Next, in Seoul there are 2000 regional churches, and in Busan we have 700 regional churches, right? What must arise in the 2000 and in the 700? The holy meditation movement must arise. This becomes a tremendous door of evangelism.
3. 24, 25, eternity (three courtyards)
   Next, you must draw the picture. You must make the three courtyards such that they become 24, 25, and eternity. You must continually draw this picture. Answers will begin to come in an amazing way. Once temple construction progresses fully, it is good to also give the members the Word they must hold onto daily. Relay prayer is something that is connected and done, and the Word must be given to everyone, so that those who pray can hold onto the Word and pray together. The temple construction team can make this. In the past, when I went to the field to do evangelism, I first set up relay prayer. And every week I delivered the Word. Originally, I copied it onto a single sheet of paper and delivered it every day. But once, there was a person with a mental disorder who kept following me around, begging me to save him. So what should I do? I was busy. Then, though it was basic, I got an idea. I wrote down all the verses that could only but heal this person. It was according to my own standard, but I wrote them down and explained them in words he could understand. When I gave it to him, he took it and memorized it, looked it up, and did everything with it. So rather than giving many sermons to the evangelism disciples, I gave them the Word. At that time I felt something for the first time: I had only said with my mouth that the Word is living and works, but I experienced it myself. “Ah, the Word truly is living and working.” When I thought, “Ah, I should give this Word to this person,” and sought it, I felt that God was working in me.

[ Answer, imprint, assurance, six days, flow of the meetings, core, prayer diary ]
So what is the final conclusion? Among today’s message, you will find an answer that makes you say, “I must do this.” I said in the morning: even if you just repeat and meditate on this Word a little, it will be imprinted. Then you will come to the assurance, “Ah, I must receive answers in this part.” Like Rockefeller, you must be able to pray for six days. When this becomes prayer for six days, look once at the flow of the meetings that come out during the week. When you see the titles, you will see the flow. It comes out like this. Then you finish everything with the core. You also open the three-day weekend age and finish. Then imagine that you are doing this every day. You must absolutely do this. Remnants especially must do it. You write it down in your prayer diary. Because if time passes, you forget, so you write it down. You will be surprised. You will be surprised that you only did this. One day you will realize that you are inside the evangelism movement. You will find yourself in the position of success, even though you did not struggle to succeed. Then you will end up helping others. That is the beginning of evangelism. So you must absolutely receive this answer.

So during this one week, many fruits that are invisible to the eye are set to arise. Simply put, I came here in 1987 and spoke about the Darakbang. It developed little by little, and where have we now come? We have come to the 5000 tribes. Without missing a single time in between, the Word has been fulfilled up to now. This is not for me, but it means that God has the plan to save the 5000 tribes through you. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that new grace will overflow this week. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Let there be the new grace You have prepared this week. Let darkness crumble wherever Your people go. Let the temple be prepared that people to be saved from all over the world cannot help but come to. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.30 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

---

▣ Introduction
Thank you. Our remnants have a certain characteristic in that, every time we have a conference, they ask questions. The questions they always ask are things like, “How should I pray?” Questions like, “How do I discover God’s will?” The question itself is a blessing. Remnants do not need to discover it quickly. It is because you still have much life ahead of you. The life you have lived is short, and the distance you must still go is far, and that is why we tell you to pray. For those of us who are a bit older, the conclusion has already been made. Because we have lived long and are old, we either have a firm faith or a firm stubbornness. If we have firm faith, we can save many future generations. But if we have firm stubbornness, we give great harm to the future generations.

1. The three things seen while doing evangelism
After doing evangelism for about forty years, I came to realize a few things. There are many, but I came to see about three things.

1. People doing vain labor – powerful nations, the Jews, the Middle Ages
   The first thing was this: “Ah, people are almost all doing vain labor.” If you study history, the things powerful nations did are all vain labor. They should have thought about saving many nations, but instead they conquered and killed. They were almost all doing vain labor. Especially look at the Jews. It was vain labor. The Jews lived trying not to break a single one of the laws, but they labored in vain such that their future generations were completely ruined. For dozens of times, saying that they were going to live rightly, they made doctrines and revised them during the Middle Ages. All of that was vain labor.
2. Almost all successful people end up simply eating their meals and dying
   There is one more thing I discovered. “Ah, these people who say they have succeeded almost all end up merely eating their meals and dying.” There is an elder who greatly influenced me. From the time he was young, he lived so faithfully that he always came in first in his studies and entered Seoul National University. He was also a very upright person. So he passed the bar exam at a young age, became a judge, and then, by becoming a lawyer early on, earned a lot of money. He was such a person. He lived well. But he suffered so much that, even though he was not that old, he fell ill and passed away. To the point that I thought, “How truly unfortunate.” In the end, all that is left is that he lived a little better in a slightly nicer house.
3. The age of mental illness
   And what suddenly came to be, the third thing I realized, is that we are now in the midst of such great suffering and that the age of mental illness has come. There are so many people with mental illness that it has increased to the point that you cannot distinguish who is right and who is not. Especially last year and this year, it has increased greatly. Such an age has come.

2. True success – being saved and preaching the gospel
For me, what is true success? It is that I have been saved and that I preach the gospel. That I have received the blessing of salvation and that I am in a church where I can preach the gospel. This is the greatest blessing and success. Is that not so? I prayed to God like this: I prayed that I would be able to do evangelism my entire life, and that is how even this Yeongdo came about. In the beginning, so many works arose that I was out on the road to the point that I almost could not stay in the church. Our members, our elders, all pushed me with prayer. Now, at last, in our church, in places like Seoul and Busan and other regions, many multiethnic people are gathering. You will later come to know what it means that you are raising even one multiethnic person. It is the same as saving one nation. Powerless people gathered and came to our Busan and preached the gospel, and now the gospel is going into the multiethnic people. How thankful this is.

1. Recover the strength to do this movement – firmly hold onto the covenant
   If so, today you are restoring the strength to do this movement. So you do not need any other strength; you must firmly hold onto the covenant.
2. Myself (standing in the line of world evangelization), future generations (blessed enough to do world evangelization), work (used for world evangelization)
   “As someone who has been saved, I will stand in the line of world evangelization.” Our future generations only need to be blessed to the point that they can do world evangelization. Everything else is all vain. It is enough if your work is used for world evangelization.
3. Make the 300%
   So I tell our remnants, “Right now, if you just go to work, earn money, you will not be able to do world evangelization. Right now, make your academics 300%. Did not Bill Gates make it? Make it 300%.” When he was a sophomore in college, Bill Gates made, you could say, this content as 100% software. And then he set up a 100% network all over the world. And he made another 100% thing that could carry that out, which was a company, in order to maintain it. That one person swept over the entire world. And of all things, that person is a New Age member. So he earned money to the point that it cannot even be counted. And now he is spreading the New Age movement all over the world.

3. Myself, future generations, and the field evangelized – Enjoy the power of the covenant today
So why must you enjoy this blessing of evangelization? In the United States, the number of people with mental illness has doubled. Why is that? They are just living and then they lose their minds. They lose their mental state. So now we are in a situation where psychiatrists are in charge at every school. Because things have developed so much, people stare at that, are amazed at it, and we have come to a situation where they cannot see the spiritual problem. Therefore, it is enough if you simply hold onto this true blessing, the covenant. What was done first? I evangelized myself. And I evangelized the future generations. I evangelized the field. Even now you can receive answers exactly like this.

1. Joseph, who from the beginning firmly held onto the covenant of world evangelization (who knew that hardship was the way of world evangelization), and Jacob, who treasured those words in his heart (fulfillment of the covenant)
   Joseph from the very beginning held onto the covenant of world evangelization. He went as a slave, but it was all right. This is the blessing you must receive. To what extent did he hold onto the covenant? To the extent that it appeared in his dreams. If you misunderstand, you might say, “Joseph had a dream, but why did he go around talking about that dream?” But the dream was given like that. Because he held onto the covenant. If your heart is very impatient, you dream of war. When you are very frustrated in your heart, you dream of being pressed down or chased. Joseph was praying, received the strength of prayer, and held onto the covenant of world evangelization, and from then on, it began to appear even in his dreams and the doors began to open. He went as a slave but became a world leader. So what is the strength you must now enjoy? When Joseph was dragged away as a slave, he would have been taken without even being able to wash his face. Did he have somewhere he wanted to be sold to? No. He had to go wherever the one who bought him sold him to. But at the end, Joseph confessed. He confessed that this was the way of world evangelization. That God had sent him. You must enjoy this strength today. Today, all our remnants throughout the nation, and you as well, do you have difficulties? That is the most blessed path. “Is that even possible?” It is possible. Joseph could not have met the official unless he was falsely accused. The prison he went into was the place where officials came, where political prisoners came. So God guided him onto the path by which he could meet the official. One day, God pressed the heart of Pharaoh and made him meet Joseph. In front of his brothers he confessed, “You sold me,” he did not say it like that. He said, “It was not you who sold me.” I have always been curious about this: when Joseph disappeared, did Jacob think he was still alive or that he was dead? I have not yet found an answer, and I will have to ask in heaven, but Jacob was a person of prayer. Right? I said, “Jacob treasured Joseph’s words in his heart.” I believe that there were many prayers. That covenant will absolutely be fulfilled. This is the strength you must hold onto today. That covenant will be fulfilled. How do you think he felt when he heard the news that Joseph was alive? And how do you think he felt when he heard that he was the governor? And that he was the governor of Egypt, which was moving the world? I believe that Joseph and Jacob knew this power of the covenant.

※ Firmly hold onto the covenant that exists in your circumstances. It is the greatest strength.
In any situation, do not be discouraged, but firmly hold onto the covenant that exists for you, your future generations, and your circumstances. It is the greatest strength.

2. The mother who planted in Moses, who had gone as an adopted child, the covenant that he would become a world leader – It will absolutely be answered
   God planted in Moses, who went as an adopted child, from his childhood, the fact that he would become a world leader. Many incidents took place. It was all right. His mother had already planted it when he was young. They thought the answer had not come. Because so much time passed. But that is not so. It will absolutely be answered. It is because of that that we are worshiping here, holding onto the covenant.
3. The seven remnants and their parents, whose eyes were different – In the midst of suffering, God had prepared everything
   The seven remnants and their parents went through countless sufferings. But their way of seeing was different. When Moses was fleeing in Midian, at that time God was preparing everything for Moses. Also, when David was running away, fleeing, fleeing from death, God was preparing everything. That you, having this gospel, are used to save other people – this is the greatest success and the greatest blessing.

▣ Main Message_ Evangelization
Now then, we read the main passage today, and since you have simply received the answer, what does it mean that something was evangelized? What does it mean that something was done?

1. Evangelizing the past – The past as the platform of blessing, the message for the age (Romans 16:25, the blessing hidden for ages)
We read Romans 16:25 where it says that He promised to give what had been kept hidden since long ages past. In simple terms, it means that the past was completely evangelized. This is important. “But the past has already gone by, has it not?” It has not. The past has not gone by. The mother was tormented her whole life, became a shaman, and died. But her daughter was living abroad, and what had come upon the mother also came upon her. It has not ended. It says that when you worship idols, disasters go down to the third and fourth generation. Is that not so?

1. Paul, who had gone with an incredible background to kill those who believed in Jesus, met Christ
   What kind of person was Paul? Shall we take a look at Paul’s past? At that time, there were three world-famous cities of literature. Alexandria, Athens, and Tarsus of Cilicia. These three were world-famous cities of literature. Paul was born there. And there was a leader of the age, whom all the Jews respected. It was Gamaliel. Paul was a disciple under Gamaliel. In today’s terms, he was a member of the Sanhedrin council, a position higher than a member of parliament. He had the highest title in Israel, the title of Pharisee. He was a Roman citizen of the empire that ruled the world at that time. And he was a scholar of the law. Among the tribes, he was from the highest tribe, the tribe of Benjamin. You know Benjamin, right? He was the son of Jacob. Joseph’s younger brother. Rachel died giving birth to Benjamin. And Jacob, whose name is Israel, designated the tribe of Benjamin as the highest tribe. That is why the first king, Saul, came from the tribe of Benjamin. So Paul’s tribe was also Benjamin. This man went to kill those who believed in Jesus and met Christ. This blessing had been hidden since long ages past. You must restore thanksgiving. It means that the blessing hidden since long ages past has been given to you.
2. Paul, who received the answer to his spiritual problem that had not been solved even though he prayed – The great door of world evangelization began to open
   Paul did everything and had everything, but his spiritual problem was not solved. So later he confessed. He said that because of this he had prayed three times, but that God had told him that He would not remove it. Whether He removes it or not does not matter. He received the answer. He came to know that this was the answer by which God, who wanted to save the world, would use him. Because he received the answer to his spiritual problem, from this point on the great door of world evangelization began to open for Paul.
3. The past needs the power of the gospel – Paul’s confession
   We must evangelize the past. Is that not so? The past needs the power of the gospel. So Paul confessed like this.
   (1) He regards what he once boasted of as loss and as rubbish – The change into an evangelist
   “I now consider everything I once boasted of as loss.” He said this. He also said, “What I boasted of, I consider rubbish.” To that extent he overturned the problems regarding the past. And then he changed into an evangelist. What greater blessing is there than the time in which he changed into an evangelist and changed the world? He was transformed into an evangelist. So God spoke directly to Ananias, saying, “He is my chosen instrument to carry my name before Israel and before kings and before the Gentiles.”

(2) He presses on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of him
Even though he was old, Paul confessed like this: “I have not yet taken hold of it. I have not accomplished anything.” Even though he had done much evangelism. “I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”

(3) He presses on to win the prize for which God has called him heavenward
“I press on to win the prize of the upward call of God.”

(4) The name that brings all things into submission
And he also said, “He has given us the name by which all things are brought into submission.”

※ My past is the platform of blessing; through the past, hold onto the message for the age.
Today you must firmly hold onto the covenant. All of my past is the platform of blessing. “Why is there a person with a disability in our family?” It means, “Hold onto the message for the age.” Is that not so? It is not something to be discouraged about. Hold onto the message for the age. It means, “Hold onto the message for the world.”

2. Evangelizing today (the answer for a hundred years, a thousand years) – Do not remain on the side of problems, conflicts, and crises, but find the answer
Second, we must evangelize the present, today. Then answers for a hundred years and a thousand years will come. Even today, as you worship and pray, we have many problems, conflicts, and crises, is that not so? We must not remain on that side. We must find the answer.

1. The answer – It is to give something better (today’s blessing, strength)
   What is the answer? It is very simple. God wants to give you something better. Do not be discouraged. God wants to give something better to you. That is today’s blessing and strength.
2. Find Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation – What others cannot give but I receive
   And when you remain in this, what comes out? What others cannot give but I receive comes out. Is that not so? Others cannot give it. God has given me what even my parents cannot give me. Through that difficulty you must nurture strength. You must discover it. What is that? It is Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. This is today’s blessing. In any case, do not be shaken and find Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation. I tell our young adults and remnants. Find it boldly. Because it surely exists. Is that not so? If there is a lock, there is a key. You must find the key. If there is a problem, there is an answer. You must find it. Do not be shaken by listening to the words of many people; find the answer.
3. Find With, Immanuel, and Oneness – Finding the reason why God is with me
   There is one more thing. You must show the evidence that God is with you. Is that not so? “But I am going through hardship. Is God with me?” He is with you. You must find the reason. Also, a good answer has come. If God has given you a good answer, does that mean He has also given you hardship? You must find With, Immanuel, and Oneness. This is what is hidden. Evangelize today.

3. Evangelizing the future – What will remain forever (Romans 16:27)
Do not worry, and what is the third? Evangelize the future, that which will remain forever.

1. Prayer 300% – 24·25·eternity; what has entered your heart, thoughts, brain, and soul and is connected to the throne will absolutely be answered
   Remnants only need to invest five minutes a day. Then it will change into 24. Then 25 will become visible. The throne. Is that not so? What is eternal will become visible. Just from praying a little. What enters your heart, your thoughts, your brain, what enters into your soul and is connected to the throne will absolutely be answered. This is what we call prayer 300%. Remnants, prepare. You must prepare now. Remnants prepare for the future, but you must prepare now.
2. Work 300% – Professionalism, field-ness, future-ness
   And what is it? Whatever your work is, whether you do a part-time job or something else, it does not matter. You must do it 300%. Professionalism, field-ness, future-ness. You must have these.
3. Evangelism and missions 300% – Finding the people God has prepared, finding them among TCKs and CCKs
   And what is it? Evangelizing the future is nothing else. You must see your evangelism and your missions as 300%. Why is it 300%? Because you are finding the people God has prepared. That is evangelism 300%. There are about seven such words. There are many in the Bible. And among the discarded ones, there are figures among the TCKs and CCKs. Finding them is missions 300%. Because everything is contained in that. So right now you are doing an enormous work. You just do not know it. It is not even that great a thing. That is not so. It is enormous. This year many multiethnic people are coming, and we are now praying about what the way will be by which these multiethnic people can come in the future. Our people of work are thinking, “How about building factories in places like Vanuatu and such nations?” There are many resources. Because they have not been able to develop them, there are many. So that can be the way by which we can save the 5000 tribes. We are in the midst of prayer. So prepare your work, your evangelism, your prayer, and your missions as 300%, remnants. It says that this is what He has kept hidden and will give.

▣ Conclusion_ Answers to prayer

1. The answer that comes as you do it
   So, to conclude, there are answers to prayer that you receive just as you pray.
2. The answer that comes even though you did not pray – When you are in the line of the gospel and evangelization
   There are also some answers that come even though you did not pray for them. What is that? If you are in the line of the gospel and evangelization, answers come even while you are still. Look at North Korea. They die of hunger even though they have done nothing wrong. Because they stood in the wrong line. It is not as if they were born because they wanted to be born there. I pray for North Korea every day. When I thought about it, I realized that in the past I did not pray for North Korea. Since the North Korea Missions Conference, I have prayed continuously. No matter how great I am, if I follow a murderer, I become a murderer. Is that not so? No matter how lacking I am, if I follow the one who saves people, I become a person who saves people. Therefore, just by standing in the line of the gospel, God answers.
3. The greater answer – The answer God has kept hidden and then gives
   There is an even greater answer. It appears in the main passage today. “God has kept it hidden and then gives it.”

1. The reason He hides it – Because it is precious, because it cannot be given to just anyone
   Why does He hide it? You hide what is very precious. And why else does He hide it? Because He cannot give it to just anyone; He has kept it hidden. And He is saying that He will give it.
2. The seven remnants who gave thanks the most (Jeremiah 33:3, Isaiah 43:18–20) – Thanksgiving changes the brain
   Paul made this confession today. “What had been kept hidden for ages past and will remain forever, He has now given to me.” So the person who used the word “thanksgiving” the most was Paul. He suffered the most, but he used the word “thanksgiving” the most. “Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Do not remember the former things. I will do a new thing.” Later in that passage, it says, “A way will be made in the wilderness and rivers will flow in the desert.” This is what God promised. “Even the wild animals will honor God.” So the representative figures who suffered the most, David and the seven remnants, all suffered. Wherever they went, they gave thanks. This word “thanksgiving,” if you do it sincerely, completely changes your brain. Truly it does. There are those who sincerely give much thanks. Those people receive more and more blessings as the days go by. Even among general unbelievers, there are those who have no thanksgiving. There are people who are always complaining, always irritated. There are such people. But even though they are not believers, there are people who are always thankful. These people keep receiving blessings.
3. We who have received the gospel always seek God’s plan, and that is why we give thanks
   So, because we who have received the gospel always seek God’s plan, we give thanks for that.

While you are praying throughout the entire day today, if there is any problem you have, I hope that this will be the day you gain the great strength to find the answer. For those who think their health is not so good, you must truly hold onto as a covenant what the power of the filling of the Holy Spirit is. Our elders, who always sit in the front and pray, are precious. You must pray that you will become stronger and stronger as the days go by. I bless in the name of Jesus Christ that the power of God will come upon every place that is worshiping together by this video. Especially, there will be God’s amazing plan for those multiethnic people. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. We thank You for giving us salvation. We thank You that we, who are weak, are used in the gospel movement. There is only one thing that will remain on this earth; let us save them. Let our work be used for world evangelization. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.23 Sunday 2nd Service
Devotional Worship for Establishing the 237 Missions Bartizan Team
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

---

Thank you. Jesus was walking on the road and became hungry. He went to a fig tree, and although its leaves were abundant, it had no fruit. So Jesus cursed the fig tree. But what is written in the Bible is that it was not yet the season for figs to bear fruit. But as they passed by again, they saw that the tree had withered. Seeing that it had withered, only then Peter said, “Oh?” and was surprised. “Ah, this tree really withered.” Like this. We usually live our walk of faith like that. God’s Word is being fulfilled, but only later we go, “Oh?” like this. That day Peter should have asked. “Why did You curse the fig tree?” He should have asked. “It wasn’t the fig season—why did You do that?” If he had asked, a message that changes the age would have come out. But they missed everything and later said, “Oh? The tree really withered?” Like that. Whenever disasters come, God always carried out world evangelization. It’s just that we live as if it has nothing to do with us, and afterward we say, “Oh? So this is what happened?” like this.

237 Mission Bartizan Team (Acts 13:1) – 5-person unit –

So today, the 237 Mission Bartizan Team is formed—Acts chapter 13 verse 1 is where the mission team is first sent. Here, a 5-person unit appears. You saw well.

These people are the secret task force who helped Paul. Not long ago, I saw some news that five thugs were harassing a mother and a young lady in a shopping district, and these five men were beaten half to death by that woman. It turns out that this woman was an officer who had been trained in a special forces unit. But how is it that the same person, the same woman, receives such training? This is how they began. “I am special forces. I must have the skills to protect the president or important people. When someone is in danger, I must go rescue them, so we must have special ability.” They thought like that. When you think like that, it becomes so. We are the secret task force for world evangelization. You must first firmly hold this in your heart. But when you look at the Bible and also look at history, there are people who never really asked for blessings, yet God brought everything to them. It’s important. There are people who ask for blessings but don’t receive them, yet there are those who never asked, and God brought them only the very best. Those people are the ones mentioned here (the secret task force of Romans 16:25-27).

▣ Introduction

1. Numbers 14:1-10, Joshua 14:6-15
   Look at the age of Egypt. Numbers chapter 14 verses 1 through 10. The spies—these were special forces. They returned after spying out the land of Canaan. They were special forces. Ten people said they could not go. At that time Joshua and Caleb said they could go. Their mountain was a great fortress, but at the very end they stumbled there again. It was the Anak mountain region. The people were shaken again there. The person who appeared at that time was Caleb. God gave all answers and the center of the timetable in the age of Egypt to these people. So we must do our best, but we also need to work with some composure. The more urgent things become, the more we must do so. Also, we may need to strive and make efforts to obtain things, but we must also see how God works greatly. We must do what is necessary at the right time, but we also must know how to wait. Because they could not do this, they all died in the wilderness. And the ten spies gave a negative report. But Israel entered the land of Canaan. They entered leaving behind tremendous works.
2. 1 Samuel 17:1-47 (David)
   They faced the age of the Philistines. They were constantly being struck. At this time, there was a person God had hidden away. There was one person completely hidden, and that person was David. This David was the special secret task force. He completely broke the Philistines. Of course he defeated Goliath, but he completely broke the Philistine army. It was tremendous. He established one thousand bartizans. For us, even building one bartizan is difficult, but he built one thousand. And he prepared the sanctuary for world evangelization. He was the secret task force. He did not reveal himself—he was the hidden task force. This task force is called in English the “Dead Band.” It means a team that risks death. And holding this blessing, he moved—then look what happened.
3. 1 Kings 18:1-5, 2 Kings 6:8-24
   They next faced the age of Aram. And at this time another person appeared to be used—he was a complete secret task force: Obadiah. Though the king ordered the prophets to be killed, he disobeyed the king’s command and hid them—one hundred of them. Amazing. When I see that I cannot understand. “Wow, how could he do that?” To disobey the terrifying King Ahab and Jezebel’s orders and hide the prophets? But God protected them and later the Dothan movement arose. This is the secret task force that receives true answers. So what eventually happened? They became a secret task force that defeated the Aramean army without fighting. Look at the flow of the age. If you don’t know the gospel, don’t know evangelism, don’t know missions, there is no reason—you perish. Even if you don’t like hearing it, it’s the truth. Even if it doesn’t come into your ears, it’s the truth. It’s three things. If you don’t know the gospel, don’t know evangelism, don’t know missions, then this will happen again.
4. Daniel 1:8-9, 3:8-24, Esther 4:1-16
   After sending them to Egypt and it did not work, God sent them to Babylon. It looked like Babylon captured them, but God sent them. Because the 237–5,000 tribes were there. They needed to shine the light to the 237–5,000 tribes. At this time, the secret task force who understood this came out—Daniel. His three friends. Esther. They arose like this. Through them God accomplished His work completely. You must catch this blessing. You who are giving this dedication worship today.
5. Acts 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:1-8
   And because things still did not work, God made them a colony under Rome. You must look well at the flow of Scripture. Israel was always being taken captive and beaten—that was their history. Why was it so? At this time, for the first time, the ones who understood the reason formed a secret task force and went out. This is Acts chapter 13 verses 1 through 4. A 5-person unit. They completely conquered Macedonia. They conquered the school of Tyrannus and Rome. They were just there quietly, but God used them as the center of history. This is important. It’s not that they used some special means or methods, but God gave answers and made them the main figures of history—this is the true answer.

▣ Main Message _ The Eternal Timetable
Then this evangelism secret task force has three very important keys. God’s timetable is the eternal timetable. The clock God has goes from eternity past to eternity future. Right? That is the clock that sees everything at once. Of course, God may not wear a clock, but if we were to say He did. The Creator God doesn’t need a clock. But it is the timetable from eternity past to eternity future. From here, the 5-person unit must remember this, and our church must have many such cases arise.

1. Absolute Bartizan [ People ]
   Do not think this is something you always hear—listen while praying. I do not go to camp often. Even in the past. When I went, I returned with something definite. And I do not go with my own methods. I go receiving perfect guidance of the Holy Spirit. So if you want to save the church, save your posterity, save everything, then don’t just do it—establish the absolute bartizan. When do you establish the absolute bartizan? The absolute bartizan includes buildings, but it is people. There are people God prepared and has planned from eternity past to eternity future.

1)The remaining ones – the ones who will remain
The remaining ones. If you find these people, the absolute bartizan is complete. These people will stand as the ones who remain.

2)The sojourners – healing
The second word. They look like wanderers, but they are not. Because of these incidents they became wanderers. But no—they are sojourners. If even one sojourner stands, the absolute bartizan stands. These people do not get offended. These people are not deceived by the “resentment demon.” These people are not deceived by the “show-off demon.” They are the absolute bartizan. These people go and heal. This is the bartizan. You must remember this. In Busan, I established an absolute bartizan, but leaving that behind, I should go somewhere else to save others, but they kept trying to keep me from going. They wanted to sing hymns with me. “Sing hymns among yourselves. I have to go elsewhere.” If people really don’t understand, then although I don’t lie, I have to evade. Right? “Oh, I have something special to do.” And slip away. So in the beginning, the 30 places where I did the Darakbang—I removed all of them. Why? Because they were no longer needed—I had to go elsewhere. They became people of prayer who firmly uphold our church, so if I kept going with them it would not work. I had to move quickly. It’s the same in business. Those who do business properly save many places. This is the sojourner. This is called 300%.

3)The conqueror – darkness
What does this sojourner do? They do not fight people. They fight darkness. The conqueror. They are formed like this. They definitely exist. If you find this, it is complete. If you do not find this, you should not go. Sometimes Paul stayed for three months, sometimes for years, sometimes for months—this was to find this.

4)The scattered ones – the sent ones
From this point their eyes open. Because of this work, the scattered ones become visible. These scattered ones are the ones sent. They are changed like this. When we trained at the industrial complex, at the first word, consolation was not necessary. “You must save your family line and your hometown and your region. If not, your family line will forever remain in darkness. So you are not here to make money—you must live your walk of faith properly here.” What consolation is needed? True disciples do not need such things. If you keep trying to soothe them with words, that is because they are fake—true ones do not need that. They are those sent by God. You must find this. This is the beginning of the absolute bartizan. Especially our associate pastors must remember this. If you form a few absolute bartizans, it is over. Then the elders are watching you with their eyes wide open thinking you may leave. Trying to keep you from leaving. Now it is the opposite. They watch with their eyes wide open hoping you would go out. A servant of the Lord does not need to be respected, but must not become an object of ridicule or contempt. Do it. Form absolute bartizans. Try it. You do not need skill. If you have too much skill, what will you build? You should not build—you must find what is already built. What does this mean? “The Lord opened Lydia’s heart.” That is the absolute bartizan. “We were going to the place of prayer,” so they met Lydia. As they were going to pray, they met the demon-possessed girl. Paul boldly explained about the kingdom of God for three months, and the door of Rome opened. You must look carefully. Because God prepared it, it is not difficult.

5)The watchman – 24, 25, eternity
Now this person becomes the watchman. Now they help you. This watchman is 24, 25, eternity. A disciple is not someone who always receives help from you. One day they begin to help you. Right? At first they asked for help to send mission offerings, but now they send mission offerings themselves. That is a disciple. Look at the Antioch Church. At first they received help, but later the Antioch Church collected offerings and helped the Jerusalem Church during the famine.

6)The spies – disaster
Same word, but the spies. What are the spies? They are the special forces who quickly go to block disasters. They must block disasters.

7)The one who raises the banner – the highway
Finally, what is revealed? The one who raises the banner. This word is very important. It is the person who raises the banner. So they prepare the highway. The highway is the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age. With this it ends. You must study like this. You must do business like this. This is not mixing business with the gospel for your advantage. Because you are the one who holds onto God’s absolute bartizan through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you must do all things like this. What if you cannot find this? Then wait. The best method is to wait. So someone like me who is lazy is better than someone who runs around restlessly. You misunderstand thinking I am very diligent, but I am not. I am lazy. I dislike troublesome things. I do not do much. I do not even have time to do things that are necessary—how can I do unnecessary things? But I do not let go of this: the absolute bartizan.

2. Absolute Journey [ Healing ]
   At this time, you go on the absolute journey. In the absolute journey, the road becomes visible. What kind of road? Healing. This road becomes visible. So when you go, you just need to say one thing.

1)Nephilim
What sickness is it? They have Nephilim sickness. Do you know this? Right now, spiritually tormented people are suffering from Nephilim sickness, which is a spiritual-mental illness. Because the church does not know this, the church can never heal them. Why? Because they do not know. So these people go elsewhere. They go to receive “spirits,” you know? But they are not helped there either—how could they be? It becomes worse when they go. So they go to strange groups. They go to places that do strange things. They go there. Nephilim. In Korea there are 300,000 shamans. Isn’t this Nephilim sickness? They do not do it because they want to. Many entertainers—don’t they look capable? It is Nephilim sickness. Many real musicians have Nephilim sickness. Why did that person take drugs? Why did they commit suicide? You say that because you do not know. They have no choice. One day they cannot overcome and commit suicide. Nephilim sickness. To heal this, God gives absolute answers.

2)Incurable diseases (the root)
Especially diseases doctors can cure—then go to the doctor. But incurable diseases—the root of the incurable disease is healed. This was done.

3)Posterity
And what else did they do? They entered the synagogues and healed the posterity. The three healings. They entered the synagogues. They did not know what the gospel was—so they taught. They did not know what prayer was. They did not know what worship was—so they taught. They did not know what prayer answers were—so they taught. They entered three synagogues. Then it appears.

3. Absolute Guidepost [ Memorial ]
   When should you return? When the absolute guidepost is made, you may return. You can leave it alone. This is called setting up the memorial stone of evangelism. So today I am watching carefully as the North Korean teams gather. I watch closely and wait. “Are they real or not?” If they seem real, I must hold onto them. Right? The real ones, I call them. They help even if I did not ask for help—because they are real. There are many fakes. So I wait to distinguish them well. So although we want people who are very good, if someone is too good to you, that is also not good. Because they cling due to that. Even unbelievers who are genuine are different. The famous teacher who taught Heo Jun did not teach Heo Jun for three years. Right? He did not teach him. Why? Because he saw him as a true disciple. So Heo Jun waited. Although for three years he did not teach anything and only told him to fetch water, Heo Jun endured. That is a true disciple. After three years the teacher began to teach him. And he gave everything—not to his own son, but to Heo Jun. Why? Because his son was a fake. His son was not the absolute bartizan. But he gave it to Heo Jun. Heo Jun later realized. For three years he only fetched water, but then he realized that real medicine depends on water. This is how the absolute guidepost is formed.

1)Fulfillment of the Word
From here, what comes out? The Word begins to be fulfilled.

2)The age
Works that save the age occur. This is the guidepost.

3)Eternity 300%
You cannot just leave it alone. When can you return? When you obtain the answer of eternity and when 300% is prepared—you then come out. You must do it exactly like this. Earlier this morning I spoke a lot about 300% during the regional study guide. You must understand what 300% means. Even unbelievers are doing this. Look carefully. Although they make food that is unhealthy, still look at Baek Jong-won. That person did 300%. First—whatever happens, they make the food tasty. It tastes good. If you put a lot of things in, it tastes good. Second—field sense. He organized nationwide branches. Third—what? The system. He created a company that can manage all this. He is a good businessman. Even with a restaurant you can succeed. That person made a lot of money. He sold one restaurant and paid his employees’ salaries with it. When will you earn money like that? Right? You must do it like the Darakbang in the Bible. Prepare the 300%. Then the absolute guidepost is established. Your life is about making this. Your evangelism is about finding this. Your missions is about seeing this. If you did not see this? No. I am sorry to say this but you will barely eat, grow old, and die. That should not happen. You tremble because you cannot eat, do nothing, and although you will know only when you get to heaven—you say, “Heaven? I’ll find out whether it exists or not when I get there.”

▣ Conclusion
This is the conclusion. There is a blessing God gives to the true disciple.

1. WIOS
   I’m sorry it is in English, but what blessing comes to the true disciple? With, Immanuel—while waiting quietly everything works together for answers. Oneness. They possess this system. This is the true disciple. When I see the music field now, I think that someone like Park Ju-young will do well in the future. Although it’s good to have cleverness, you must get the root right. It is correct that you meet many people and make many contacts, but you must make it so that they have no choice but to come. That is better. That friend, as I see it, has considerable possibility. I see that friend as one of the absolute bartizans.
2. OURS
   So those who make the absolute bartizan—this is not the end. They have the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation.
3. Reproduction, re-creation, re-challenge
   Then while leaving them alone, reproduction continues. “Teach others also.” While leaving them alone, re-creation continues. Without using any special humanism, re-challenge continues. For example, if you raise sheep, the sheep must know how to give birth. Right? If the sheep cannot give birth, even if you have a thousand, eventually they will all die. But if you have two sheep that can give birth, they will continue to increase. Spiritually, the movement of life continues. In the path our remnants take, in the path our young adults take, this reproduction discipleship movement continues. Words cannot describe it. So unbelievers look and say, “The Lord is with you.” When unbelievers look at our remnants and our young adults, they should say, “Wow, truly God is blessing you in everything.” That must be ours. Not only for those giving this dedication worship today, but all people have the qualification to receive this blessing. You, the 237 Mission Bartizan Team, must do this in earnest. Properly. So do not try to just heal the disease—let the root come alive. Do not try to solve the problem—gain the root power. Let us pray.

Prayer. God, we thank You. Today we give this important dedication worship. Let us establish the absolute bartizan of the Lord. So let the path the Lord prepared be seen. Allow us to raise and teach those who can reproduce them. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-18

---

▣ Introduction
1. Restore prayer – Reviving the soul, body, and brain
Jesus taught prayer together with the gospel before He left. Because your soul is collapsing, your body is collapsing, and our brain is collapsing, He taught the prayer that revives that. You must absolutely restore this.

1) Bartizan (the beginning of answers to prayer) – Thoughts and prayers are imprinted in the soul and the throne and become a bartizan inside me.
When this prayer takes place, a bartizan is formed inside me. That is the beginning of answers to prayer. The reason I keep telling you not to fall into unbelief is that unbelief becomes my bartizan. So what becomes imprinted in the brain never disappears. There is someone I know who was arrested for doing drugs and stayed in prison for a long time. After he came out, the drugs were out of his body, but because they were imprinted in his brain, he could not overcome it. Right now your thoughts and prayers are imprinted in your soul. They are also imprinted in the throne. This becomes a bartizan.

2) Journey – From that time, the path becomes visible.
When it becomes a bartizan, from that time the path becomes visible. That is what we call the journey.

3) Guidepost – The answers Jesus promised come. Evangelism and missions become visible.
Then even such difficult evangelism becomes visible. From that time, the answers Jesus promised begin to come. World missions becomes visible. That is what we call the guidepost.

2. This answer came upon Mark’s upper room – Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.
This answer came upon Mark’s upper room. Why is that? Because they were about to walk a difficult path, they needed this power.

1) To overcome the world, a different power is needed – Jesus’ forty days of request
Nothing else is needed. Your children must go into a difficult world. That is why they need this strength. No matter how much you study and strive, to overcome the world a different power is needed. Jesus earnestly asked for this for forty days. That covenant has been fulfilled in today’s passage.

2) The early church facing its greatest crisis – Condemned as heresy, evangelism forbidden, cut off from society, imprisonment, execution
Now, what is it that you must know at this time? The early church is now facing its greatest crisis. The state condemned the early church as a heresy. At that time, it was an era of a totalitarian dictatorship state, so once the state made a law, no one could stop it. And they banned evangelism. Even that might be tolerable, but then they cut them off from society altogether. What would you do if you were in that situation? If you share the gospel, if you evangelize, they imprison you by law. And if you keep doing it, they execute you. What would happen then? It is a crisis.

3) A world where what is wrong is rampant – Do not be deceived.
It is a world where what is wrong runs rampant.

(1) Rome – Conquering the world, making nations into colonies, buying and selling people as slaves
Rome conquered the world, made nations into colonies, and bought and sold people as slaves. That is wrong. That is the world where such things run rampant. First of all. That is why people are deceived. We can easily all be deceived. While that is what is rampant.

(2) The theories of the Jews – The idea that you receive salvation by keeping the law, their messiah concept, their chosen-people concept
The theories of the Jews are wrong, but they dominate. “You do not receive salvation by faith; you receive salvation only if you keep all the laws.” That is the theory of the Jews. It may sound good, but it is impossible. “The Lord is not the God of other nations; He is the God of our nation.” That is wrong. “Christ is not the Messiah who will save the world; He is the Messiah who will deliver our nation. Therefore, we are the chosen people, and you are Gentiles.” That is wrong. But that is what is prevailing. People now begin to hold on to what is wrong.

(3) Giving up and running away
And it does not end there. They give up and run away. Jesus healed people with incurable diseases, but when Jesus was executed on the cross, should not at least one person have appeared? They all ran away. He performed miracles and even saved those who were about to starve to death. Yet everyone ran away. About one hundred twenty people remained, right? He had saved tens of thousands, but they all ran away.

3. He gave an unimaginable promise on Mt Olive, and that word has been fulfilled (Acts 1:8).
But God gave them an unimaginable promise. That is what you must hold on to today. Especially, He promised what kind of blessing the church leaders and remnants must receive. The promise Jesus gave on Mt Olive has been fulfilled. Three things. The word that “you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth” has been fulfilled.

▣ Main Message_ The fulfillment of Acts 1:8
When you face a great crisis, what must you do? You will face it. You must work in this crisis-filled world, so what must you do? You ought to lead the world, but instead you are being dragged along by it. What must you do? It is three things. Jesus Himself promised them. “If you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit, you will receive power. You will be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He clearly said so. That has been fulfilled.

1. When the Holy Spirit comes on you (the filling of the Holy Spirit) – Spiritual summit (spiritual king)
“When you receive only the filling of the Holy Spirit.” He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes on you,” but to be exact, He was saying, “Just as John baptized with water, immersing people in water, you also will receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit.” What is the very first blessing you must receive to live in this world? It is the spiritual summit. God has called you as spiritual kings. Summit means king. The Bible says He has called you as spiritual kings. You must believe this.

1) A royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) – Because we must proclaim the light (churches closing, spiritual problems, mental illness)
Peter said, “You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood.” Why? Because you must proclaim this light. You must believe this. Otherwise, you will never be able to lead the world. The door of evangelism and world missions will never open before you. The churches of the world are closing their doors right now. It is urgent. At least our church must do the evangelism movement. Spiritual problems and mental illnesses have doubled. It is a big problem. Almost forty-four percent of school children are now taking medication for mental illness. The problem is that the church has absolutely no interest in this. What are they interested in? What do they care about? That is the important question. How will you overcome this crisis? Do not be shaken; become the spiritual summit. Receive the filling of the Holy Spirit.

2) A work that no person can stop – A wind-like and fire-like work (Acts 2:1–4)
Then today, a wind-like and fire-like work took place. What does that mean? It means that a wind-like and fire-like work took place that no person could stop. When a typhoon warning is issued, you must be careful. You cannot defeat a typhoon. Right?

3) The power by which God changes us – “They have had too much new wine” (Acts 2:13)
Others saw this and misunderstood. “They must be drunk on new wine.” I cannot do it, and you cannot do it, but God has revealed the power that changes us. That is the spiritual king. You must believe this word. This is what Jesus said. He completely changed me. God changed me, who was so powerless and poor, into an evangelist. You do not need to wait for some experience. You must believe. The seven remnants received exactly this blessing. They stood before kings and testified. They were spiritual kings above the kings. How great is God’s blessing? He has called you as spiritual kings, so go as the spiritual summit.

2. Go to the ends of the earth – Function summit (king of the field) – Preparing myself, the field, and the future (300%)
The second is what? You must believe. “Go to the ends of the earth.” What does that mean? He has called you as kings in the field. That is what we call the function summit. This is how you win. That is why we speak of 300%, preparing yourself, your field, and your future.

1) People from fifteen nations who would evangelize the world – He called them as summits and made their work into summits (Acts 2:9–11).
In today’s passage we read that there were people from about fifteen nations. These are the people who would evangelize the world. God has called them as summits. From this time on, God has made your work, your work field, and your studies into summits. Carry out world evangelization.

※ When you believe, a bartizan is formed.
Because almost no one believes. When you believe, a bartizan is formed. God has called you as spiritual kings. God has called you as kings who save the field. That is the summit. You must believe this.

As I said before, in the past the most difficult thing for me was evangelism. It was difficult because of my personality and my nature. I was someone who could not and did not know how to evangelize at all. The churches had no power. They did not know what they were living for, and our churches were so poor and powerless. One day I realized, “God is the Creator. Then why must we be so poor that we cannot do anything? God is the Almighty. And we have received the right to call that God ‘Father.’ Then why can we not evangelize?” From that time on, I prepared. I became prepared 300%.

※ The filling of the Holy Spirit is 300%
What is the filling of the Holy Spirit? It is preparing 300%. Whatever crisis you face, you must absolutely hold on to this covenant.

2) The power to see the future – Children (prophecy), young people (visions), old people (dreams) (Acts 2:17–18)
And what else does He say? “Your sons and daughters will prophesy.” When you hold this covenant today, “your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” What is that? He grants the power to see the future. This is the function summit. God has first called you as spiritual summits. You must not lose this. Even a young Remnant, although young in age, can be a king spiritually. They must serve their parents, but even in the family they can become kings of prayer. They all received that answer. Then the function summit has no choice but to follow.

3) The word God gave to Joel is now being fulfilled (Acts 2:14–21)
At this time, Peter said this: “We are not drunk on new wine. What you see is what God spoke to the prophet Joel being fulfilled now.” That is right. If you have just these two things, there is nothing to fear.

3. You will be My witnesses – Culture summit (king who overcomes darkness and saves the world)
Finally, what did He say? “You will be My witnesses.” What does that mean? You will be kings who change the world, simply put, kings who overcome darkness. That is the culture summit. He has called you in that way. Today, you must not lose hold of this. It is true that this word seems too great and impossible to bear, but He has called you as kings. Does that feel real to you? God has called you as spiritual kings who can overcome and save the world. That is the spiritual summit.

※ Joseph, who went as the spiritual summit and held the covenant of “world evangelization,” and Elisha, who asked for a double portion of the spirit – When even one person receives the answer, no matter how deep the darkness, they will win.
The seven remnants realized this quickly. Even though Joseph’s brothers were very smart, what they knew had nothing to do with this. That is why they complained, “Why are you treating Joseph so well? We feel offended.” That is the state of ninety-nine percent of church members. Right? “Why are you showing favoritism?” That is how they always lived. The brothers lived that way. Joseph went as the spiritual summit and held on to the covenant of world evangelization. He went out after already having obtained the answer.

Pastors must remember this. Ninety-nine percent are interested in Gilgal, interested in Jericho, and interested in Bethel. Elisha was not like that. “Let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.” Simply put, “Let me first become the spiritual summit.” Then life is revived. Even if there is thick darkness, if just one of you receives the answer, you will win. You must believe this now.

1) Three thousand disciples (Acts 2:41)
So “You will be My witnesses” means “You will become the culture summit.” What happened? Three thousand disciples arose, even though they tried to stop them.

2) The Word came alive and worked, the preciousness of the church members, the importance of the servants of the Lord and of prayer (Acts 2:42)
And what else? The Word came alive and began to work. “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship.” What does that mean? They realized how important the church members are. “To fellowship.” Only those who have truly received salvation can do this. Then they will never speak carelessly about church members. Right? Because they are the people God has called, how can I speak carelessly about them? They laugh at people with spiritual problems. Why do they laugh at them when that person is God’s person? We carelessly condemn others. Those who have received salvation cannot do that. “To fellowship,” it says. “This person is so precious.” Right? A pastor who has truly received salvation regards every church leader, church member, and Remnant as extremely precious. Right? They are people who have received salvation. “They broke bread.” That means they had the Lord’s Supper. “They broke bread.” Those who have truly received salvation know that the important thing is not the pastor himself, but the pastors and the servants of the Lord who preach the Word. That is what it means. “Prayer is important.” “They devoted themselves to prayer.” Today, the kind of prayer that works as a living power must arise among you.

Take these three with you. Truly receive the blessing of being like spiritual kings, become the spiritual summit, and save people. They will live. Become the king of the field, the function summit that saves the field. You must save those who are trapped in darkness. Then become the culture summit. This is what Jesus said.

3) The economy of light – Offerings (Acts 2:43–45)
From that time on, they began to give offerings, and although we did not read the rest of chapter 2, this is the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must remember this. Only those who know how to give offerings with importance can receive the blessing of economy. It is always so.

When I was an assistant pastor, I went around, ate out, and even went on outings. Since I was an assistant pastor with no money, I thought, “Well, I’m an assistant pastor and I don’t have money, so I don’t really need to give many offerings.” One day I realized, “No. My praising God, my prayer to God, and my offerings to God are extremely important.” From the day I realized that, what began to happen? Everywhere our teams went, the blessing of economy began to come. Just from realizing that one thing. In Mark’s upper room in Acts chapter 2 verses 43–45, it says that they gave offerings. Some people even gave all their possessions. That became the economy of light. The offerings you give are the economy of light. You must bear this in mind. It is extremely precious.

4) The power to save the world – Every day in the temple and in their homes (Acts 2:46–47)
Finally, what happens? They gain the power to save the world. “Every day in the temple and every day in their homes.” Today you must firmly hold on to this answer.

▣ Conclusion_ Ambassador of Christ
He said that you will be witnesses. Witnesses of what? Ambassadors of Christ. You testify of that.

1. Because they did not know the value of the gospel, the Jews, Macedonia, and Rome looked down on them, but the testimony arose all the way to Rome (the platform for world evangelization).
The testimony arose all the way to Rome. Everyone looked down on those in Mark’s upper room. The Jews looked down on them. The people of Macedonia looked down on them. Rome looked down on them. They could not help it, because their eyes could not see anything else. Not knowing the value of the gospel, they indiscriminately oppressed them. They killed and oppressed Christians to the point of misery. Ten emperors did that for two hundred fifty years. Why did God allow that? By that, He made all the platforms for world evangelization. No one can stop it. God has called you as spiritual summits so that you can shine the light in a place of darkness. He has called you as kings in the spiritual, functional, and cultural realms.

2. Not knowing that He has called us as a royal priesthood to proclaim the light in the darkness is the greatest sin.
If a king keeps doing shameful things, there is no worse king than that. He has called you as kings. God has called you as kings who save kings. A royal priesthood. Not knowing this is the greatest sin. You must repent of that. Right? If a child constantly doubts the parents and says, “Is that really my father? Maybe that is not my mother,” that child must be sent to a mental hospital. Right? That is a terrible illness. God clearly spoke to you. Because you must proclaim this light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. Right? He has called you as a royal priesthood, a chosen people, a holy nation. Why? Because you must proclaim the light in the darkness. You have never seen true darkness.

Right now, Remnants must be cautious when they go abroad. The recent incidents of that kind are nothing special there. People are being arrested and there is chaos everywhere. It is happening in so many places. How deep is the darkness? The police in those countries do not do anything. They do not. If your children get caught in the wrong place just once, do you know what some people do? They capture kids and lock them up. For what? If someone captured and locked up your child, what would happen? Why do they lock them up? To sell their organs. It is shocking. The church has been made worthless. Europe, America, everywhere. It is darkness. To shine the light there, because He needs only the light, He has called you as a royal priesthood. If you lose hold of this, you have lost everything. You must find it again.

3. Suffering – God’s special timetable (Joseph’s life as a slave, Moses’ years in Midian, Elijah’s fleeing)
What appears to be great suffering was actually God’s special timetable. The time Joseph suffered in Egypt was God’s special time. The forty years Moses waited in Midian with no visible answer was the most important time. The time Elijah fled, exhausted and in hiding, was the most important time.

※ Completion of worship – Hold on to the Word and imprint it through prayer, confirm what you will put into practice, confirm to whom you will relay this Word.
So today, whenever you hold on to the Word, you must imprint the answer you must receive. Then today, as you deeply pray, you must confirm what actual things you must do in order to enjoy this answer. And you must confirm who needs this Word and the answer you received today. When it goes that far, you have completed today’s worship. Just coming to the sanctuary, sitting, killing time, and dozing off before going home — that is something else. In worship, God’s Word must come to you. And you must pray. Imprint. Then even if you forget everything else, it is fine — imprint. You must at least pray briefly. “What actual, realistic answer will I seek out? Then what must I put into practice?” You must confirm that today. “To whom will I relay this Word?”

When I received this grace, one day I really called my friend. He did not believe. Then I remembered. “He and I were so close. We got along with everything, but he does not believe in Jesus.” That was a shocking realization. I had that thought, and then I was startled. I went to Daegu for a conference. It turned out that a very close friend of mine was living in Daegu. Because he did not believe, we had parted ways. An elder came and asked, “Pastor, do you know so-and-so?” I said, “Of course. He was my closest friend.” The elder said, “He is now living there after serving as the labor union leader at a factory in Ulsan. But he is ill right now. When I mentioned you, he said he knew you very well.” So after the Daegu conference ended, on Saturday, I went to visit him. Strangely, the day before that I had been thinking, “To whom shall I relay this gospel?” Our young adults listened to this message and called one of their relatives. When the relative answered the phone, he asked, “Why did you call?” He said that his relative then began to weep over the phone and pour out his story. We are missing some very important lines, important paths.

※ He has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body, soul, thoughts, heart, and brain.
God has called you as spiritual summits, function summits, and culture summits who block the crisis. Do not be deceived. Prayer can heal your body. Prayer can heal your soul. It is certain. Prayer can heal the most fundamental part — your thoughts, your heart, and your brain. Today, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that you will absolutely enjoy this blessing. I will pray.

Prayer. God, let us receive a new grace today. Let us enjoy the living work of the Word being fulfilled. Let us receive the true strength that You give so that we can save the world. Our Remnants must study diligently. But grant them the strength to overcome the world. All our church leaders are doing important work. Grant them the strength to save the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Scripture Reading: Acts 17:1-9

---

The power of the covenant – (Romans 16:25-27)
Thank you. The question is: how great is the power of the covenant? Because the covenant is God’s Word, it carries the power of creation. From the moment you hold onto this covenant, answers begin. And He is saying that He will now reveal what was hidden before eternity. Because this is the covenant of the gospel, He is saying He will give what will remain forever and ever.

[ Moses – age 80, 40 years ]
There is something you must think about here today. Moses held onto the covenant, but the works arose when he was 80 years old. And it took 40 years to travel the wilderness. That is how it was.

[ David – 15 to 20 years ]
Also, David held onto the covenant, and it was fulfilled after about 15 to 20 years.

[ Paul – 250 (313) ]
Paul even spoke about world evangelization, and it was fulfilled after 250 years. It was fulfilled when Paul was no longer there.

So how should we understand this? We held onto the covenant, and then do answers come only after such a long time? That is a misunderstanding. From the moment you hold onto the covenant, continuous answers come, and they continue all the way to 250 years. This was in AD 313. It is not that Moses received no answer and only finally received one at 80. Answers continued to be fulfilled, and at the age of 80, the D-day came.

[ Bartizan, journey, guidepost ]
In the end, when we look back, we see that the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne were all fulfilled. So this began from the moment you held onto the covenant. But most people receive this without knowing. Most people think there are no answers and then suddenly receive them.

[ Covenant – lifelong ]
Today, among us, there are those who know this covenant and hold onto it. When they held onto a lifelong covenant, works began from that moment. Many people receive without even knowing. As you are holding onto the covenant, most people have no idea what is taking place. Many people only realize it much later, after time has passed, and say, “Ah?” Some even realize it when their future generations see it and say, “Oh? Our mother and father prayed, and how is it that the answer has come this precisely?”

[ Grace ]
Even so, whether they realize it or not, the exact covenant is fulfilled at that time. The fact that we received it without knowing—that is grace.

[ Mission ]
But you now begin with understanding. This becomes a mission. We received salvation by grace. In one sense, without fully knowing. But now that we know, it is no longer just that. From this point on, it becomes a mission. So from the moment you hold onto this covenant, it begins to be fulfilled.
Among these, what is most important?
「What to teach the next generation first」 (Acts 17:1-9)
In 237 missions, what does God love most? The future generation. In one sense, the older people are footholds. The works will take place in the future generation. Because God hid them and then sent them, it is completely set for the Word to be fulfilled. If so, you must carry this for the future generation in your heart. What must you teach them most? What is the very first thing to teach the next generation? You must absolutely confirm this. This is the covenant we will hold today. Acts 17:1-9. What must we teach?

▣ Introduction
The covenant you hold onto in childhood lasts for life and continues. Especially the children among the 5,000 tribes have virtually no cultural benefits. So in one sense, the gospel can go in to them directly.
I asked myself, “What is evangelism in childhood?” For me, evangelism was so difficult. Pastors on the pulpit kept telling us to evangelize, but I did not know what to do. So they printed tracts and said, “Take a bundle as you go and give them out.” They told us to hand the tracts to people so they could read them at home. Even that was hard for me. Roaming around delivering tracts, without even knowing the gospel—this was so difficult. I was immature and did not understand evangelism. So I would put three tracts into some homes—just to finish faster. That is how hard evangelism was for me. “Why is evangelism so difficult that it does not work in this church? Is it really this hard?”
And why are our good, precious adults so tormented by poverty? You might say it was the times, but why are they so tormented by sickness? These three questions became my covenant in childhood, and they have continued to this day. It is amazing. The covenant that remnants hold in childhood determines their entire lives.

1. Developed countries – 40%
   The situation is quite serious now. Not all, but among the future generation in developed countries, in some schools about 40% of students are on medication. These are their own statistics. That is how it is in America. There are even schools where up to 40% of the students are told, “Let the teachers administer medication and make them study.” This is no small problem.
2. Developing countries – a state of abandonment
   In developing countries, children are in a completely abandoned state. Not just neglected, but completely abandoned. It is beyond imagination. Among African countries, Kenya is a relatively developed nation. Nairobi in Kenya is a famous city. When I went there, thousands of children were roaming around. That is the capital city. So I asked, “Do these children not go to school?” They said no. I asked the children, “Why are you not in school?” and they would not even answer. So I asked again, and though not all, they said, “There are schools.” But in the current situation, even though there are school buildings, there are no teachers to teach. So thousands of children wander the streets. I thought, “This is not a normal situation.” The international community says they are doing something, but I wonder what, because people are literally starving to death. Many are sick from drinking contaminated water. For those of us in a developed country like Korea, it is hard to understand. When you open your refrigerator, it is filled with clean water—how can you understand? But those children drink dirty, stagnant water.
3. Children who are in Korea
   More importantly, we must think about the children who are here in Korea. The teams working with multiethnic ministry and 237 work must think fast and correctly about this. These children here in Korea have parents, of course. The multiethnic families who have come here are often unable to clearly talk about how difficult their situation is. Whatever their hardships may be, we do not know. So those who are doing 237 ministry must be most aware of these things.
   They might not say it out loud, but the issues that come up most often are visas—perhaps the biggest issue. You must be somewhat specialized to handle this. Next is employment. Then, following that, come issues with the children’s education. These are the kinds of problems that arise. And if the visas do not work out, the family cannot stay together and must go back. They are all struggling with the same concerns. Recently, I listened to an interview President Lee Jae-myung had with some scientists. In that interview, a foreigner stood up and asked a question. He said he was studying here for his PhD, but his current visa did not allow his children to stay with him. So he was in a situation where he would have to go back. I do not know the exact visa conditions, but he said this in front of the president.
   We must care for such people like family within the church. It is not that they are thinking, “We must get help from everyone,” but they have real difficulties, and we must not be ignorant of them. We must pray together and walk with them.
   I mentioned this once before: some people came to Korea to get married. Among them were those who had been deceived. Some had already been married before and had children in their home countries. Then they married again and came to Korea. After living with their Korean husbands and seeing how good they were, they eventually shared their situation. Their husbands said, “All right,” and brought the children over. But those children could not legally enroll in school. And there are tens of thousands of such children. I was shocked. “So this is how it is.” If I had known, I would have started a school right away. Those children’s school would not even need elaborate facilities. Just gather them and teach them.
   This is how we must raise the future generation. God has hidden treasures there. So at least in our church, what must we teach the next generation?

▣ Main

1. Acts 17:3 [ Christ ]
   First, in verse 3 of chapter 17, he gives an explanation about Christ. He explained about Christ, and we must clearly make Christ known to the children. We must clearly explain the term “Christ.” This term is the way, the truth, and the life that leads to the Triune God. This word “Christ” is extremely important.

1)Perfection
So we must teach the perfection of Christ.

(1) John 8:56
To solve our eternal past, what is first? The Christ who existed before eternity. In John 8:56, what does He say? “Your father Abraham rejoiced at the thought of seeing my day; he saw it and was glad.” This is an astounding statement. The Jews lost their minds when they heard it. “How old are you?” they asked. They did not know that Christ had been prophesied before eternity and that knowing this name alone would bring salvation. It is an astounding name.
Someone once wrote to me, saying, “Pastor, when you said in your message that Christ solved my past, I was so thankful.” That is right.

(2) John 1:14
In John 1:14, He became flesh, taking on a human body, and came to save people.

(3) Acts 3:6
Even now, as in Acts 3:6, when we command in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, works arise. What is this? The resurrected Christ. Even now, we can use that authority in His name.

(4) Revelation 20:1-15
It does not end there. He has also solved the problems of the future. Christ will come again as the Lord of the Second Coming. In Revelation 20:1-15 we find the record of Christ who will come again as the Lord of the Second Coming.

(5) Revelation 21:1-17
In Revelation 21:1-17, we see the eternal Christ who will stand as the Judge forever. In other words, if that person is a child whom God has chosen, then the moment this one word enters them, works arise completely.
The ones in whom the least works occur are often those who have attended church a long time—because they do not know. They have been in church too long and are spiritually tormented. But someone who has been spiritually tormented for a long time receives Christ and is finished. That person stakes their life. Some are constantly tormented by suicidal thoughts and hear voices. When they believe and receive Jesus Christ, works arise. That is why shamans often sincerely believe—because they have experiences. After great suffering, they receive Christ and answers come. Of course, Christ is also the complete answer for you.

2)Fullness of the Holy Spirit
So He guides you completely from beginning to end. He also guides your future. He promised this. Right? “He will teach you all things and will tell you what is yet to come.” This is what we call the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, He gives this kind of strength.

3)7·7·7 300%
Not only that—what else? He gives you the bartizan, journey, and guidepost so that you can succeed 300%. The remnants among the multiethnic peoples whom God has prepared will have all darkness crumble before this one word, Christ. We have heard the word “Christ” so often that we say, “What, Christ?” But in darkness, it is the perfect light.

2. Acts 17:2 [ The perfection of worship and prayer ]
   Second, what must we teach? Verse 2 of chapter 17. What does it say there? In verse 2 it says, “On three Sabbath days…” What is this “new Sabbath”? We must make these remnants know perfectly what worship and prayer are. “But will children understand?” That is your thought. If the Holy Spirit works, they will understand. Right? People also say, “Will new believers understand?” That is truly an ignorant statement. When the Holy Spirit works, people understand even when they hear it for the first time. “No one can say, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ except by the Holy Spirit.” 1 Corinthians 12:3. Jesus Himself said, “If you ask in my name, the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will be with you forever. He will let you know the future and remind you of everything I have said to you.” That is how it is. We must teach what worship and prayer are.

1)The Lord of prayer (the Triune God)
So then, the Lord of prayer is not us. Right? When you pray, the Lord of prayer—the Triune God—works invisibly.

2)The background of prayer – throne, kingdom, and its work
We must teach what the background of prayer is. What is the background of prayer? Today, we have worshiped with the three feasts. That is the background: the throne, the kingdom, and the work of the kingdom. Just wait and see. You worship on Sunday, hold onto the Word, and pray—and in your field, the throne, the kingdom, and the work of the kingdom are surely fulfilled. This is the background of prayer.

3)The method of prayer
So then, what is the method of prayer? Why must I pray?

(1) Imprint (brain)
Our prayer not only connects to the throne, but it becomes imprinted in us. It becomes imprinted in our brains. That is why it is very important to pray out loud.

(2) Root (soul)
Our prayer becomes rooted in our souls.

(3) Nature (throne)
Our prayer makes our very nature one that communicates with the throne. This is prayer. So worship is no ordinary thing. Prayer is important. If our precious remnants can listen properly to the message of Christ and pray, it is essentially finished.

3. Acts 17:1 [ The perfection of answers ]
   So they went into the synagogue. Why did they go into the synagogue? Not only prayer, but the perfection of answers.

1)Talents 300%
God will cause the talents of our remnants to reach 300%.

2)Work 300%
For the remnants who have come from those dark countries, God will make their work 300%. Otherwise, world evangelization cannot be done.

3)Evangelism and missions 300%
We must teach them this. If I were teaching them, I would teach like this: “From now on, do not pray to be the ones helped, but pray to be the ones who help. From now on, though we must pray, ‘Lord, send workers,’ do not merely pray that way—pray, ‘Lord, allow us to send workers.’”
RLS has become such a wonderful school now. It is a place where gifted children gather. At first, runaway kids were the ones there. Runaway kids had come and were staying in the church. No matter how foolish we are, we still had to do something. We had to make a school. At that time, I preached in the first service here, then went up to Seoul for the second service and came back. I counseled them on the airplane while flying with them. I told them, “First of all, you are an extraordinary child. You have done three things I could not do. I wanted to run away from home but could not. I wanted to quit school but could not; I just kept attending. I did not want to go to church but went because I had to. You have done all three. You are an amazing person. From now on, start from here. Take this character you have and start from here.”
So should we name the school “The House of Runaway Kids”? Of course not. From the beginning I said, “You are future leaders.” And now they are truly doing that role. The RLS students are now playing a role in leading the world. Truly. “You must enjoy the 300% blessing of evangelism and missions that God gives you, and through that, carry out world evangelization.” Even if they do not fully do this, we must teach correctly. Among the many things God has given us, even if we cannot do everything, we must still speak about God’s things.

▣ Conclusion
What is the conclusion?

1. The first opportunity
   For these children, and for the 237 children you will meet in the future, as I said before, they have never heard this once. You must always remember that. Why must we clearly tell them this? Because they have never heard it. It is the first time. This might sound a bit proud, but if you do not tell them, there is no one else. Right?
2. The last opportunity
   It is the last opportunity for those children.
3. The eternal opportunity
   So how must we form them? We must imprint them so that they will never forget, for eternity. We do not know when we will see them again. It is an eternal opportunity.
   So, as you did well last time also, when those children come, we must absolutely plant into them the sure gospel, testimonies backed by prayer, and the sense of their mission. If needed, we must also start something new.
   When we first moved into a 35-pyeong basement, there was one thing we did that has never stopped. The entire church took turns fasting one day at a time. It says Paul fasted and prayed when he first went out to the mission field. So he completely received the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Because you prayed like that, you are now playing the leading role in world evangelization.
   So from now on, for the sake of temple construction—since we must have the three courtyards—how about we set up a relay of daily fasting prayer for the building? For those who do not know how to pray, just being hungry is prayer. Saying, “Oh, I’m hungry,” is prayer. In this way, we connect faith and the covenant. During the North Korea missions conference, I said, “Pray in relay every day.” Fasting one day is actually good for your body as well. So there is nothing bad about it. How about starting a relay of prayer, where the entire congregation continues to pray without ceasing until the temple construction is fully done? In that, multiethnic peoples, remnants, and TCK children will naturally be included.
   What would have happened if Philip had said something else to the Ethiopian eunuch? It would have been a disaster. He explained Christ. Christ is the name before which all forces of darkness tremble. It is the name that broke the power of Satan. He is the true priest who took all the curses we were supposed to receive. We could never meet God, so He made known to us the true way—the true prophet, not just any prophet. And He is not just any king. He is the true King. Not merely someone who wears priestly garments and performs rituals, but the true priest.
   I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that this week the eyes of your life may be opened to see the blessing of the covenant being fulfilled. Let us pray.

Prayer. Let the covenant begin and be fulfilled throughout this week. For the people of the Lord who pray all day long inside the covenant, grant them the covenant You gave to the tabernacle, the temple, and the Mark’s upper room church. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.16 Sunday 1st Service
Thanksgiving Sunday
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-8

1. Find the last mission God wants to give you.
Thank you. When we meet people and talk, there are times we begin to think about something. Most people, if you look at them, have already set everything according to their own thoughts. When you see such a person, you feel, “Ah, this person will no longer have any answers!” And when you see someone who is working very hard in a strange way to succeed, you become worried again. Those two look different, but they are the same. Giving up according to one’s own thoughts or moving according to one’s own thoughts—those two are the same. The covenant you must absolutely hold today is this: even today God gives you new grace, but there is a last mission He surely wants to give you. You must find that. The reason God has kept you alive is that He has prepared a special blessing for you.

1)If you think that does not exist, you will enter the greatest suffering.
If you think that does not exist, you go into the greatest suffering. Why? Moses thought it was over, even though he had not even started. So he suffered to the point of death. Even though he had not even begun, Elijah also said, “It is finished.” There are many people like that.

2)By giving up according to your own thoughts, you stay quietly inside a frame or struggle in the wrong way.
Some people just remain quietly inside a small frame. Others keep struggling in the wrong direction. Both are loss.

2. The Festival of Ingathering (Thanksgiving) – Started at the Exodus, completed by Jesus in Mark’s upper room.
So today we also call Thanksgiving “the Festival of Ingathering.” It is called Thanksgiving because the harvest is gathered, and it is called the Festival of Ingathering because the harvest is stored. This feast began at the time of the Exodus. And in Mark’s upper room, Jesus completed this feast. It is connected in such an important way.

3. Hardship – The best timetable.
The hardship in Egypt and then the hardship of the early church were the best timetables. You must not miss this either. Are you going through hardship? It is probably the best timetable. For us, it feels very painful. But within God’s plan, it is the best timetable. There has never been a time when it was not so. Because we are human, when suffering comes, it is hard. Right? How difficult must it have been for Moses, who ran away as a murderer and lived in hiding for forty years? That was his forty years in Midian. But it was the best time. We easily miss such important things.

▣ Introduction_ What God wants to give first in hardship
Among these, in the hardships of Egypt and the early church, there is something God wanted to give first. The blessing of Thanksgiving that you must absolutely see is in the main message, but there is a blessing you must first receive.

1. The gospel – “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.” Forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God.
   “Moses, go to offer the blood sacrifice.” That is what God said. And at the very end, it says Jesus spoke about the things concerning the kingdom of God for forty days. In these hardships, what does He want us to realize? He wants us to realize what the gospel is.

1)The gospel is that the Triune God makes you His children and takes responsibility for you.
The gospel is the important beginning in which the Triune God completely makes you His children and takes responsibility for you.

2)Exodus 3:18 – On the day of the blood sacrifice, the power of Satan was broken.
On the day they offered the blood sacrifice, the power of Satan was broken. This is the gospel.

※ “It is finished” (John 19:30) – It is over. There is no need to do anything else.
The moment I understood the gospel, I understood Jesus’ words, “It is finished.” It is all over. There is no need to do anything else.

3)Isaiah 7:14 – Immanuel
The gospel is: “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” You must firmly hold this fact today. Especially new believers are confused about many things. Do not be deceived. On the day they put the blood of the lamb on the doorposts, they came out of Egypt. That is the gospel.

4)Matthew 16:16 – Christ: the unshakable rock, the church, the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and the powers of darkness will not overcome you.
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” “You are Peter; you will never be shaken. On this rock I will build my church. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The powers of darkness will not overcome you.” He said it clearly. That is the gospel. Right?

3. When they lost hold of the gospel, they lost hold of everything.
   So when Israel lost the gospel, they lost everything. In the hardship in Egypt and under the persecution of Rome, God first made them realize what the gospel is.

2. Prayer – Forty years in the wilderness, forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God.
   Second, there is something He made them know first. Forty years in the wilderness. Forty days of speaking about the kingdom of God. What is it? You must know what prayer is. Because people do not know what prayer is, they do not know what to do.

1)Prayer is enjoying the bartizan of the throne – seeing answers that transcend time and space and that are unprecedented and unrepeatable.
Prayer is enjoying the bartizan of the throne. Therefore, you come to see answers that transcend time and space and are unprecedented and unrepeatable.

2)is walking the journey of the throne – acceptance, transcendence, and victory.
Prayer is walking the journey of the throne. You become able to accept, transcend, and overcome anything.

3)Prayer is setting up the guidepost of the throne – the footsteps that remain all the way to the 5,000 tribes.
Prayer is setting up the guidepost of the throne. Your footsteps will remain. You may have given a small devotion, but your footsteps remain. To what extent? They will remain all the way to the 5,000 tribes. That is prayer.

3. Answer – The tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the three feasts given during the forty years in the wilderness.
   More importantly, people do not know what the answer is. Not knowing what the answer is means that the forty years in the wilderness were prayer. Then what is the answer? During the forty years in the wilderness, God gave them many extremely important things. What are the representative ones among them? The tabernacle. Right? The ark of the covenant. The three feasts. These are tremendous. Then they realized: this is the answer. But since people do not correctly understand the word “answer,” sometimes they cannot wait, and at other times they lose hold of it.
   I mentioned it last week. A certain person chose only children and women and killed them. Why did he do that? How did he kill them? That is not important. The question is, why did he do such a thing? In his childhood, a bartizan of hatred and murder was formed.

1)The bartizan of the throne is established first (Revelation 8:3-5) – the beginning of answers.
If the bartizan of God’s throne is established first inside us, that becomes the beginning of answers. So on Sunday, some people hold the covenant and pray earnestly like Rockefeller. Before any visible answer, the bartizan of God has already been established within them. This is the first answer. Therefore there is no need to be discouraged. In Revelation 8, it says all your prayers are held before God in the golden censer.

2)Journey of the throne – the way you must go becomes visible.
From that point on, the way you must go becomes visible. This is called the journey of the throne.

3)Guidepost of the throne – visible answers (your work is reproduced and re-created, your studies are prepared 300%).
From that time, visible answers begin to come. Your work begins to be reproduced and re-created. Your studies begin to be prepared at 300%. That is the true answer. You leave behind guideposts. These are called the seven guideposts. This is the answer. Since people do not know what the answer is, what are you praying and singing about? You are building the bartizan.
So now you know what the gospel is, what prayer is, and what prayer answers are. God held them in the wilderness for forty years to teach them this. Only then would the future generation be able to overcome. After training them for three years, Jesus spoke intensively for forty days. He explained the bartizan and guideposts to which they must go.

▣ Main. Thanksgiving – The three feasts come together.
Now, among these, we are celebrating Thanksgiving today. If you understand Thanksgiving in a shallow way, it has no connection to answers. If you simply celebrate Thanksgiving Day like in America, it has no meaning.
This Thanksgiving contains the three feasts together. Right? On the day they put the blood of the lamb on their houses, they came out. That is the Passover. In the wilderness, they harvested grain. That is Pentecost. It is the same as the Feast of Weeks. But they later gathered all these grains and stored them in the storehouses. That is Thanksgiving, the Festival of Ingathering. This has great meaning. These three are together.
Passover (liberation on the day the lamb’s blood was applied) – Being saved by the blood of Christ.
We have been saved by the blood of Christ.
Pentecost (gathering grain in the wilderness) – Living in the wilderness with the power of Pentecost.
We live our wilderness journey with the power of Pentecost.
Festival of Ingathering (gathering grain and storing it in the storehouses) – Your background is the throne.
More importantly, your background today is the throne. This is the Festival of Ingathering. This is Thanksgiving. You must discover three things in a simple way.

1. The three feasts that overturn destiny – the moment you realize them, you are set free.
   First, what are these three things? The moment you realize these feasts, you are set free. The moment you hold onto these three feasts, your destiny is overturned.

1) Ten blessings – All the curses of Egypt were destroyed. This power was conveyed to Israel, to Egypt, to the entire world, and to the thirty-one kings of the seven tribes in the land of Canaan.
Ten plagues came upon Egypt. For Israel, they were ten miracles. But for God, that was not all. They were ten blessings. Right? He completely broke all the curses in the land of Egypt. He showed them this. This power was passed on to Israel. It was passed on to all of Egypt. Later, it was passed on to the whole world. In the end, it was passed on to the seven tribes and thirty-one kings in the land of Canaan. It is amazing.

2) All are a process – What God has given you separately remains. Just holding onto that becomes a bartizan. Come out of darkness.
Do you have problems before you? They are not the problem. Have you received some answers? That is not it either. It is the process. There is something very important that remains separately for you. Your destiny has been overturned.
Let me speak to the remnants. From childhood, I made a declaration. My parents suffered, could not evangelize, lived in poverty and sickness. I said, “That is not mine.” Right? It is not mine. Why should it be mine? I must evangelize. In every church I visited, everything collapsed because of people-centeredness and people’s words. They could not receive real answers. From that time I realized, “That is not mine. Mine is something else—what God has given.” I only held onto that, and it became a bartizan. I did nothing special, but just by holding onto it, answers kept coming.
The beginning of the three feasts and Thanksgiving is overturning destiny. Coming out of Egypt is not the issue. You must come out of darkness. Effort comes after that. You have already come out of destiny. Believe this. Those who did not believe this died in the wilderness. Those who believed entered. This is the three feasts and Thanksgiving.

3) Even now, the background of the throne is working. Believe it (Mark 16:19-20, Acts 7:55-56, Revelation 8:3-5).
Even at this moment, on Thanksgiving, the background of the throne, the Festival of Ingathering, is working upon you. You must believe this. While you are worshiping here today, the power of the throne comes upon your business fields. Do you believe this? If you do not believe this, you are not believing any of the important truths in the Bible. At the end of the Gospel of Mark, chapter 16, it says that as the disciples went out and preached everywhere, Christ, who was seated at the throne, worked with them. Right? When Stephen was being stoned, it says Christ was standing at the right hand of the throne. When the apostle John was praying in death-like circumstances on the island of Patmos, the heavens were opened and God on the throne was hearing all his prayers. You must believe this. As you pray throughout this day, you must hold this covenant and pray. As you pray in the church, the power of the throne is at work in your children’s lives.

2. The three feasts that change the future of the next generation.
   Second, these three feasts—especially Thanksgiving—were kept together with the children. That is amazing. They actually built shelters and celebrated together. What does this mean? It means changing the future generation. These three feasts changed the future of the next generation.

1) Exodus 23:14-19 – You must surely keep the three feasts.
So in Exodus 23:14-19, it says, “Three times a year you are to celebrate a festival to me.” You must surely keep these three feasts.

2) Deuteronomy 6:4-9 – Before entering Canaan, imprint everything that has happened until now into your children.
In Deuteronomy 6:4-9, it says to imprint into the children everything that has happened up to now—before entering the land of Canaan. Right? Imprint it. This one thing is enough. To all remnants, before they go into the world, imprint this power. That is the feast. It is to make them realize this. While keeping the feast with their children, they said, “This is the Passover. This is now Pentecost. This is the Festival of Ingathering.” They taught them.

※ What goes into a little child goes on forever.
What you are doing now may look small, but you are raising remnants, preparing the three courtyards and nurturing multiethnic peoples. These things will become eternal. Especially what goes into a little child goes on forever. How precious is this?

3) Among the future generations, there are children God has prepared.
Open your eyes a little more. Even if it is hard, set more direction toward children and multiethnic ministry—I will speak more about this in the second service today. You will be amazed. Even if the number is not large, God has prepared children. I have seen so many amazing cases of “God has prepared them.”
I have shared this testimony before; older members may know it. Long ago, there was TBC broadcasting. At that time, there was a man named Park Dae-hong who did the weather forecast. When the government changed and the networks were unified, that station disappeared, but he had done the weather report there for a long time. He lived in the apartment complex near Busan Jungang Church in Jungang-dong. He was quite old and had two children. The older was a daughter in about sixth grade, and he had a younger child, a kindergarten-age boy. That boy was extremely smart—God had prepared him. Since this announcer had children late, he cherished them. On Saturdays, I gathered sixth graders and trained them in evangelism. While his older sister was in training, that little boy would hide and listen. I was so impressed that I told him to come in. “Come in and join us.” His name was Jung-hak. “Hey, Park Jung-hak, come in.” He sat there and listened. Then he went home and did exactly what I had said in the message. While they were eating, the little boy said to his father, “Dad, you have to pray.” The father was shocked. The boy said exactly what I had said: “Pigs do not pray. People must pray.” The father was so moved by the child’s actions. So he said, “Then show me how you pray.” And the boy prayed. In the end, that father was evangelized, and I got to see him become an ordained deacon in that church before I left. What did I realize? “Ah, among the future generations, God has children already prepared.” I could never produce that by my own ability. That is why we must prepare these three feasts together with the next generation.

3. Enjoy the completed three feasts every day.
   Lastly, the third thing you must hold onto: because Christ has completed these three feasts, you must enjoy them every day.

1) The completed three feasts – Calvary (completion), Mt Olive (mission), Mark’s upper room (fulfillment).
He completed everything on Calvary. On Mt Olive, He gave the complete mission. After hearing this covenant, it was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room. That is why it says, “When the day of Pentecost came…”

2) Life challenge – Absolute impossibility (acknowledge), absolute plan (discover), absolute possibility (change the world).
I ask you to challenge your life once. Take the thing that absolutely does not work and truly acknowledge it, and then challenge. You must acknowledge it: “We are absolutely impossible.” But within that, there is God’s absolute plan. Finding only that is enough. Jochebed knew they could not defeat Pharaoh. But she also knew that God’s plan was for this child to live, return to his nation, and proclaim the gospel. At that moment, her eyes were opened. “We must send our child into the palace. The only place he can survive is there.” Then an amazing work took place. No one could have imagined that this would change the world. You must hold this covenant today.

3) Your background – The throne.
The three feasts—especially your background, the throne, the Festival of Ingathering.

▣ Conclusion. The remaining blessing – seven points.
At this point, something even more important remains. Something more important remains in Scripture. The Bible presents seven important terms.

1. The remnant – Those who remain will become those who leave behind.
   The remnant. Those who remain will become those who leave behind.
2. Pilgrims – They will not be wanderers but those who shine the light.
   Pilgrims. They will not be mere wanderers but those who shine the light. This will come.
3. Conquerors – Conquering darkness.
   Conquerors. You will not conquer people, but you will conquer darkness.
4. Those who are scattered – Those who are sent.
   Those who are scattered. They are not merely scattered—they will become those who are sent.
5. Watchmen
   God will set you as watchmen. This is what remains.
6. Spies – Those who will block the disasters of 24, 25, and eternity.
   God will call you as spies who will save people from disasters in 24, 25, and eternity.
7. Those who prepare the highway and lift up the banner.
   God will set you as those who prepare the highway and lift up the banner. These seven points are the remaining blessing and the most important words in the Bible.
   Today, pray all day for the power of the three feasts. To what extent? Pray until all the spiritual problems in you are reversed into strength. As you pray throughout this day, pray that the power of the throne will truly come upon every place connected to you. As you earnestly pray today, pray for the work of healing to arise in the sick. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be an important day. Let us pray.

Prayer. All around the world, those who have held the covenant are listening to the Word. May the covenant of the three feasts come upon them. Throughout the nation and the world, people are confirming God’s Word through the broadcast. Let this be the day when the power of the throne comes upon them. During today’s worship, let poverty, sickness, and helplessness collapse. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.09 Sunday 2nd Service
Devotional Worship for Praise Dept.
Scripture Reading: Acts 16:19-31

---

Thank you. Praise becomes the most important time to heal you. Today, what happens in the time of praise. This is a very important time schedule. This is what happened in the prison today. Now, what you must remember here is, what happens when you praise?

▣ Introduction. Praise – The Fallen Angel

This praise was stolen by the fallen angel. This angel fell and became Satan, and this was his area of responsibility—praise. So, we must restore it as a necessity. This is not just a simple matter; it will be a disaster if you don’t know this. Even though we are not fully aware of it, there are two kinds.

[ Praise Satan ]

Many people, though they themselves do not know it, are praising Satan. The angel who praised God fell and became Satan, and this is what moved the world through music.

[ Praise God ]

There are two kinds of people. People who praise God, and people who praise Satan. They are just unaware.

[ Praise Satan → Suffering ]

The more they do it, the more they are driven into suffering. That is why the more people who perform shamanistic rituals (called gut) do it, the more they enter into suffering. That is why the more you rely on superstitions like these, the more you enter into confusion.

[ Praise God → Glory ]

The more a person who praises God does it, the more they enter into the glory of God. However, when I look at the questions many people ask, they frequently ask, “What should I do?” It’s not a wrong question, but it’s regrettable. It’s usually the same: “What should I do about a problem like this?” It’s not bad to ask such a question. The question itself is a blessing because you asked God, “What should I do?” However, if you keep asking that question, what problem will arise? You suffer a great loss. In my opinion, 90% of people ask that way. Nine out of ten Remnants specifically ask, “What should I do?” even after hearing the entire message. So I think, ‘Ah, this is a common point.’ As this continues, if you look closely, 90% of believers are not receiving answers. They are enduring by grace and the covenant. That is truly the case. So, if any of you are sick, discouraged, or facing difficulties, do not be deceived and find strength.

1. Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost

You must quickly prepare three things. Don’t be discouraged, but do it quickly. God’s bartizan. You must quickly establish it within me. You must establish it in my thoughts and my spirit. Only then can you go on the journey of the throne. Only then will the guidepost of the throne finally appear in your work. This is called business success. You will leave a guidepost in your studies. Never be discouraged; build the bartizan of Jehovah.

2. Platform, Watchtower, Antenna

Then, that becomes a platform. What happens when it becomes a platform? Other people see that and come. To save more people, shouldn’t you shine a light? You establish a watchtower. Those people come and see the same blessing of God. Antenna. You must set this up quickly.

3. Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation

Then, there is something that finally comes to your work. It is Only. From this point, you begin your success. It is conveyed to others as Uniqueness. And Re-creation appears.

You must quickly create these things. And you must absolutely never be discouraged. Until it is created, you must not do anything else. Jesus told them to “not leave Jerusalem” to do this. He told them, “Wait.” He also said, “Wait for the promise of the Father. When this day comes, you will receive power.” How much power? “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He clearly said this. If this doesn’t happen, many wrong things keep being done. It is regrettable.

▣ Main. Praise – The World

So, when this blessing comes to me, if I know praise, this blessing continuously grows. It is that important. When David, who was enjoying the answer (in the Introduction), praised, it went out to the whole world. When David, in whom this bartizan (in the Introduction) was established, praised, the evil spirit left. Right? So this (the Introduction) is unconditionally important. When a person in whom the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of Jehovah have been established praises, the whole world is revived. There is nothing as important as praise. Even during the worship service, the time when we praise together is a very important time. You can confess your faith and pray while praising. When the choir sings, it is a time when the darkness is completely driven out. When David praised, the evil spirit that was clinging to King Saul fled. Right? On that very night, a miracle occurred when Paul praised. It has to be that way. In Psalm 22:3, it says, “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.” This continues. If so, how should we restore praise?

1. Official Worship Service

Naturally so. During the official worship service. When you praise during the official worship service, you are healed the most, so you must receive grace. When the choir members sing, spiritual things absolutely occur. The choir members would know this, but you must truly enjoy it as you do it. That is why I always request this at gatherings. To allow the praise before I give the message. And not to do other announcements or sequences after the praise. It is that important. The Word must follow the praise. What happens during the official worship service when we praise?

1) Exodus 15:1-27

In Exodus chapter 15, verses 1 to 27, the nation of Israel was set free. The miraculous Exodus, which no one expected, had happened. So, the entire nation gathered and praised. This praise spread to the world, but more importantly, it spread into the land of Canaan. The Bible records it this way: the people in the land of Canaan heard this news and their hearts melted. At the sound of your praise, the hearts of the forces of darkness melt. You must believe this. You must not just sing hymns. Sometimes, you should clap your hands when you praise, and sometimes, you should raise your hands and express yourselves. Especially, I see older men sitting there with serious expressions when they praise. That’s why men die sooner than women. When you praise, you must praise and do this (clap). That is an immense time. Our choir members are busy when they attend and prepare for praise, but you must remember that it is the time of the greatest blessing. The darkness of the whole world was broken. An astonishing event occurred. Everyone was surprised. How did the weak Hebrew nation of Israel defeat Egypt and come out? From the moment this news, the power of praise, was testified in the land of Canaan, work began to happen.

2) Psalm 22:3

In Psalm 22:3, it says, “You are holy, enthroned on the praises of Israel.” Although He will also dwell in the Word, Jehovah is enthroned in the praises. It happens simultaneously. When Jehovah descends, the army of heaven is mobilized, and things like that occur.

3) 1 Samuel 16:23

During the palace worship service, an evil spirit fled while David was praising. Praise is that important. You may not quite understand what it means when I say that the darkness leaves when the choir praises. Where did I realize this? There is a place where people who are suffering from spiritual problems gather. When they sing a hymn, they throw tantrums. They can’t bear it to the point where we can see it is not normal. So, on that day, work finally happened, and a minister next to me said, “Ah, there really are demons.” I said, “Really? You didn’t know?” He said, “That’s not what I mean.” Simply put, he experienced it firsthand. I don’t know about now, but there is a ‘Moochuksan Prayer Mountain’ in Gimhae, Busan. The director is a woman, and she heals those possessed by demons. When I looked at how she does it, this person does not accept even two people; only one. She is amazing. She prays and praises with that patient all day long. It’s completely incomprehensible. Why is she doing that? All the evil spirits fled. Praise is a prayer with a melody. Right? The power is enormous. It is a prayer with music added to it. It is incredible. It is a prayer that can be sung together. The entire congregation can sing the same thing. In some ways, the whole world can sing the same thing. During the official worship service. When we hold gatherings overseas, they sing the same hymns. But people from each country sing in their own language. Yet, it sounds the same. During the worship service. After Russia was liberated, I went to a large church a long time ago. The entire top floor was the choir. So I thought, ‘Wow, there are places like this.’ But they were divided in half, with one team on this side and one team on that side. And there was a separate conductor. I went there to preach, and I sat and watched. There was another choir below. I wondered what this was, but I thought it made a lot of sense. Simply put, the front team praises at the beginning of the worship service. And in the middle, before the sermon, the other team praises. Right after it ends, before the congregational hymn, they sing a special hymn. Seeing that, I thought, ‘Ah, that’s very good.’ In worship, praise brings about events beyond imagination. In history, many things happened even on the battlefield while people were praising.

2. Individual Set-Time Worship

When you praise during your individual set-time worship. What happens when you praise during individual set-time worship? A truly amazing event occurs.

1) Psalm 78:70-72

Psalm 78:70-72 is about David’s praise. During the boring time when David was a shepherd, what he did alone was praise that completely restored the Word. Here, David’s future was decided, even though he was a shepherd. It is important. At this time, David developed his skills. He also wrote Psalms here. He did everything. Praise during set-time worship like this allows an individual to see the future.

2) Psalm 150:1-6

The phrase in Psalm 150:1-6 that startled me was, “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.” ‘Ah, that’s right.’ “Praise him with every instrument.” So, as I look at it, even Buddhist monks, if they repent, they can come and hit the wooden moktak and praise. What’s wrong with that? “Let all instruments praise the Lord. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.”

3) Acts 16:19-31

Look at today’s main passage. A miracle occurred while they were praising on that night, in that crisis.

3. Unceasing 24, 25, Eternity

What is more important than this? Your unceasing prayer of 24, 25, and eternity will surely bring about world evangelization.

1) Remnant** 7**

The representative example is the 7 Remnants. Joseph could not pray or praise freely. So, he did it unceasingly, regardless of time. The work of changing the world happened. Do not be discouraged, and establish this bartizan of praise. Those who are sick, do not be discouraged, gain strength, and establish the bartizan of praise. It is the bartizan of praise established on the bartizan of Jehovah. It is tremendous. That is why I understand. It is shown that Martin Luther overcame evil spirits through praise.

2) Daniel 6:16-20

It also appears in Daniel 6:16-20. Daniel was about to die, and the king said this: “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” He said this. The king came to the lion’s den the next day because if Daniel was alive, he had to save him. Do you know what the king said? “Daniel, servant of the living God!” He said this. He said, “Daniel, servant of the living God!” to God. And he quoted this: “Has your God, whom you serve continually (unceasingly), been able to rescue you?” Everyone, this praise and prayer brought about the work of changing the world.

3) Ephesians 6:18

Paul was also a person of praise. He said this: “Pray in the Spirit on all occasions (unceasingly).” What is the background of this? Pray unceasingly in the Spirit to bind and demolish Satan.

We must restore praise like this, but I had trouble restoring my hymns. But one day, as I was driving—I was driving myself at the time—I was having set-time worship in the car, and what song would I sing then? When having set-time worship. I sang a hymn, and it was different from the hymn I knew before. It gave me immense strength, and the work of healing occurred. While singing the hymn. This is what set-time worship is. Try reading the Word and praising during your set-time worship. Tremendous healing occurs. I also didn’t know that reading the Bible by the stream during a retreat on a quiet morning was so healing. It is healing. So, those who are having spiritual difficulties, do not worry; God has called you specially, so restore the prayer with a routine. There must be a routine. Even if it is difficult, just praying for a set time, exercising, and having a routine will bring about work. In John 9:3, God’s plan is in you, which is why you were called that way. “Why did this happen in my home? Is it my parents’ sin? Is it my child’s sin?” We ask this. That is wrong. “It was neither that this man sinned, nor his parents, but that the work of God might be displayed in him.” No one knows that.

▣ Conclusion

Time is passing quickly, so to what extent should we conclude? How should our Praise Mission, our Praise Worship Service, be concluded? It would be even better if you could create your own hymns to offer to God.

1. David

The representative figure is David. David praised so deeply that he created many Psalms, hymns, and melodies for God.

2. Paul

The representative figure is Paul. Records show that Paul praised at every important moment like this.

3. Luther

The representative figure is Martin Luther. “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God.” Martin Luther composed this.

The fact that such poems and songs emerged is a different story. It has a great influence, and work occurs even when we have left this earth and are gone. I write the lyrics for the WRC song once a year, and a lot of prayer goes into it. I try to ask for a short vacation when completing the lyrics. Even if it’s just two or three days. And when I go, I don’t do anything else, just focused prayer, only praying for that. That is how I complete it. But why is it difficult? It is difficult because I have to convey the covenant in the lyrics. It is also difficult for the person who composes the melody. This is because a song can be created with an emotion that arises while walking on the street. Also, a song can be created based on something that comes to mind while looking at something beautiful. But the WRC song is not like that. It must follow the flow of the covenant. So, I see that very important work will happen. Today, restore praise. Establish this bartizan (in the Introduction) and restore praise.

[ Gratitude ]

What is the conclusion? The best medicine is gratitude. The deadliest poison is complaint and dissatisfaction. It is poison. The best medicine is gratitude and praise. We must restore this.

I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to experience this blessing of being healed all this week.

Prayer. We give thanks and praise to God. May this time be a time of healing. May it be a time to taste the power of God. May it be a time when the work of re-creation occurs. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

2025.11.09 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Acts 16:11-15

---

▣ Introduction. The reason we must receive answers
Thank you.

1. New family
When Paul’s team carried out evangelism, the most important ones were the newly saved new family members. Now, how can these new family members receive prayer answers? If the new family does not know prayer answers, you will stumble over many kinds of tests. Today we must surely find this.

2. Associate pastors (Timothy, Titus, Tychicus)
Also, the most important teams when Paul evangelized were the associate pastors. You know well people like Timothy, Titus, and Tychicus. There were very important associate pastors. Now, how can our associate pastors receive this answer? If associate pastors, who are qualified to receive this answer, do not receive it, it becomes extremely difficult. And life as an associate pastor in the church becomes very hard. You may roughly understand this, but if you treat it that way, far too many problems are passed down spiritually and to posterity.

3. Church leaders (Gaius)
What did our church leaders do best? They saved evangelists and many associate pastors. Concerning Gaius it also says, “host of me and of the whole church (evangelists).” Now, how can this answer be received? You must surely take this with you today. If you do not know this, church leaders will spend their whole lives in turf fights and human fights and waste all their time. That is unjust. As a result of my analysis, nearly 90% of church leaders do not see the evangelism movement arise and do not have answers. That must not be. The ones who should receive the greatest answers are the church leaders.
Personally, though I had difficulties, I received truly many answers when I was an associate pastor. To the point that I think, “I wish I could be an associate pastor once more.”

▣ Main. How can we receive answers?
Now then, as we look at Paul’s journey today, how then can we receive answers?

1. Prayer
First, you must first know what prayer is. Even if He did not teach preaching, Jesus taught prayer. Therefore, if you do not know what prayer is, even if answers come you will not recognize them.

1) Jesus’ words about prayer
These are the very first words Jesus spoke.
(1) Matthew 6:10
“Pray for God’s kingdom to come.” That is in the Lord’s Prayer.
(2) Matthew 6:33
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness.” He said, “and all these things will be given to you as well.”
(3) Acts 1:3
Then in Acts 1:3 it says, “He explained about the things concerning God’s kingdom for forty days.” Frankly, I realized there, “Ah!” I used to have many prayer topics. I came to know that it was not that. And the Lord Himself said it directly: “Do not pray, ‘Give me this, give me that.’” Did He not say that God already knows? And then He said, “Because you can receive all things, seek His kingdom and His righteousness.”

2) Prayer is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne
I kept seeing this and, truly, to an ignorant person like me, God’s Word was graciously opened.

(1) 7 bartizans
It is prayer by which the grace of the Triune God becomes a bartizan. “He explained for forty days” means prayer is enjoying the power of the throne. And God said, “It is finished.” Prayer is building the bartizan within that. We cannot save the world with any other strength. He said He would give power. Therefore we need the 5 strengths. He promised us the power to overcome the ruler of the air. And He already spoke all the roads concerning the future. Prayer is when these become my bartizan. Since I did not know what prayer is, I frankly did not pray well. Long ago I did not know how to pray.

(2) 7 journeys
There is a road by which the Triune God even now answers. Going on that is the journey. You may not readily believe it, but the 10 secrets of the throne protect you. Though we are much shaken, the 10 platforms of the throne are ours. We may meet many kinds of matters. There are the 5 assurances of the throne. We can win without fighting. There are the 9 flows of the throne. Therefore, when we meet people, we obtain the lifelong answer and relay the answer. The fact that we are seated here today is the camp of the throne. If you do not know this, there is no answer. This was opened to me.

(3) 7 guideposts
On Calvary the past, present, and future, everything, was resolved. Then we have nothing to worry about. On Mt Olive He gave the absolute mission. Finding that and giving it is most important for us. Finally, in the Mark’s upper room, “When the day of Pentecost had fully come”—this is not a feast day but the three feasts kept always, daily. That is how I came to understand it. Otherwise it is hard to receive answers. At last, spiritual eyes were wide opened. Those who were in tribulation should have stumbled, but they gathered and established the Antioch Church. If you are in tribulation you should flee, but they set the missions strategy. This is our road. It is the guidepost. Having firmly established this guidepost that breaks the darkness—that is the first camp. We must surely heal the Nephilim. We must surely conquer Rome. I have now spoken of the 7 bartizans, the journey, and the guidepost. This is prayer.

※ By the answers of 7·7·7 prayer the door to the 5,000 tribes came
So, when I open my eyes in the morning, I first concentrate and pray the 7·7·7 prayer. And then all day long, while deeply thinking, I pray the 7·7·7 one by one again. It is so good. The future God gives comes into view.
At that time, answers come to me. “Do you truly want to do missions? Going to America and Europe is just riding on a plane. If you want to do missions that truly break the darkness, save the 5,000 tribes.” From then until now, the door to the 5,000 tribes has continued to open.

What is prayer? It is enjoying the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne that God has given. Now, if you know this prayer, the Lord surely promised you. “All these things will be added to you.” For decades I learned from the Bible that I had been praying wrongly. Of course there were no answers. I had no power to save unbelievers. First, I had no money. When I tried to save others, I had no money. I know that money is not the greatest thing, but I did not have it. I had no strength. How can you do world evangelization? I was telling some kind of lie. I had understood prayer wrongly.

3) Find the prayer Jesus taught and enter into the Word. When you understand what evangelism is, answers begin to come.
New family members, you must find the prayer Jesus taught. Church leaders, you are important people. Do not listen to my words; you must look at God’s Word. Among the many listening to my messages from outside, there are those with a commission and those who criticize. Do neither of those two; enter into the Word.

Then, from that point, frankly speaking, because I knew what evangelism is, answers began to come. Before I understood the gospel and this prayer, I was always poor, those beside me were poor, “you are poor, I am poor,” and money became god. Only money, money, money—that is all I saw.
(1) Remnants
Our Remnants must study not to follow the world but to lead the world.
(2) Church leaders
Blessing is prepared for the church leaders. Do not follow unbelievers; raise the 70 to save unbelievers. Even if I cannot do it, I must believe what is right.
(3) Watchmen of world evangelization
God has called you as watchmen of world evangelization. Other things are not the answer. Right? They are the process, not the answer. “Oh my, I fought with that person; I lost. I won.” That is the process, not the answer. The answer must be that God’s Word is fulfilled. This is the prayer.
If you know this prayer and do this, say, for one year, what will happen? Try it. The secret of prayer is here.

2. Answers
Second, you must know what answers are. Now, since most people do not know what answers are, when you pray do answers come? No. Then, in fact, you do not know what an answer is. There is a towel here. If I pray, will this towel fly over there? It will not. Therefore, because you do not know what an answer is, you cannot enjoy the answer. You do not know prayer, and you do not know answers.

1) By prayer, first the bartizan of God (the bartizan of the Word) is built within me
The answer is that first the bartizan of God is built within you. The bartizan of the Word is first built. This is extremely important. Therefore, during worship you listen to the Word and say “Amen.” During the time of prayer the bartizan is being built. This is the beginning of the answer. Why would someone in full health jump from a high place and commit suicide? Even just looking down makes you dizzy, but he jumped from there. Why? Because within him the bartizan of suicide had already been built. Therefore he surely goes on that journey—because it has been built. Then the result that comes out—that is the guidepost.

So, because you do not know what an answer is, you cannot wait. You must have the bartizan built by much prayer in order to go on the journey. You must go on God’s journey in order for the guidepost to appear.
I can promise you in advance. With the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, and the age of holy meditation, many will come to life in our church. The 5,000 tribes will flock in. I promise. I said this 38 years ago. I said it in a rented 12-pyeong (small) building. If we are truly those who will carry out world evangelization, God will bless everything. He will make it a church that saves the world. That is not what we do. God does it. When this bartizan is built, you go on the journey. Now, when the answer has come, you speak by looking at the guidepost: “Wow, the answer has come.”

(1) Grieving the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30)
Now, because we do not know this, sometimes we should endure but we do not, and sometimes we should go but we do not. So we end up doing what we should not. Concerning this He said, “do not grieve the Holy Spirit.” It is in Ephesians 4:30.

(2) Quenching the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19)
Because we do not know this and do not know what an answer is, sometimes the answer has come but we do not act. Concerning this He said, “do not quench the Spirit.” It is 1 Thessalonians 5:19. You must surely remember this.
Now, first—what is it? You must know what prayer is. If you know what prayer is, the power that transcends time and space comes. Right? It surely comes. You must believe. Only when you believe does it become a bartizan.

2) You can go on the journey.
Only when there is a bartizan can you go on the journey.

3) You leave guideposts. The guideposts are what have already been fulfilled; the answers have come.
You must go on the journey to leave guideposts. This is certain.
There was a woman who, secretly, deceived her husband and everyone and gambled. So the husband, being deeply distressed, found out that his wife was a gambler. It is easy to say, but he locked his wife in, bolted the outside door, and came to me. At that time I was an evangelist. He said, “Evangelist, I wanted to go to the retreat and came to go with you.” I said, “Deacon, please go back and unlock the door for your wife. If she is locked up like that inside, she will go mad and die. So unlock the door and come. Your wife already has a bartizan built within her by which she cannot help but gamble.” She cannot help but gamble. People do not know this.

Another deaconess said, “Why does my husband drink like that until dawn every day…” She said she could not live with him. I said, “I do not think so.” I said, “Your husband is searching for something. The bartizan must be changed. The only person who can help is you, but you are the problem.” Right? She understood.

They may be listening to the message even now. A couple asked me a question: “We have decided to divorce for this and that reason.” But I sensed that they were people of the Spirit. So I spoke rightly, “Pray more before you do it.” I said, “I am not the one to pray for that man. You are. Do not be mistaken.” Listening to it, it was right. Am I going to pray for someone I do not know?

※ If you do not know prayer and do not know answers, you know nothing; then you must live and die insisting on your own way.
Building the bartizan is the most important first answer. You understand, right? Since you do not know prayer and do not know answers, in the end you know nothing. You will have to live and die by insisting on your own way. Your way may be right sometimes, but it is more often wrong.
Therefore, the guidepost is formed, and this is what has already been fulfilled. If you know this, you will understand the whole Bible.

(1) Mark 11:24 “Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer.”
“Believe that you have received what you asked for in prayer.” Why? Because the bartizan has been built.

(2) Joshua 1:3 “I have given you…”
To Joshua He said, “I have already given it to you.” He should have said, “I will give,” but He said, “I have given.” I came to understand that. There has never been a time when, once the bartizan of the LORD was built, the answer did not come.

3. The power of world evangelization
Third, you must know what the power of world evangelization is. If you know, that is enough. Those who were with Paul knew this.
First, you must carry it. You must know what prayer is. Right? Only then can you pray. You must know what an answer is. Only then can you enjoy it. What is the road and method of world evangelization? There are three.

1) The absolute bartizan
When the road is blocked, it is not about building a bartizan. It is building the absolute bartizan. This is what our associate pastors must do. It is not just a bartizan. It is the absolute bartizan. Now, the road has been blocked. What do we do? We give up. From what I have seen, those who do not study well give up when difficulties come. Those who studied somewhat well push stubbornly. Both have problems. Right? You must not give up or stubbornly push back.
They truly prayed. “In a vision, a man of Macedonia was calling us.” What should I do? Just wait. The absolute bartizan. This word “absolute” means a bartizan that never disappears eternally. If our associate pastors find even one such place, history will arise for you. Do not worry at all. If you cannot find this, you will suffer until the day you die. Elders, church leaders—if you find even one absolute bartizan, all answers will come. Right? You have not found it even once. If you have not yet found it, that is unjust, right? You should find it.

2) The absolute journey
Second. What should you do when you go for the first time? You must make the absolute journey. Not just a journey—the absolute journey. What I am talking about is not only an answer; it is the power to carry out world evangelization. What kind of absolute journey is it? Look.
(1) Verse 13 – Place of prayer, Lydia
In Acts 16:13, “On the Sabbath we went outside the city gate to the river, where we thought there would be a place of prayer,” and they met Lydia.
(2) Verse 14 – The Lord opened Lydia’s heart
In Acts 16:14 it says, “The Lord opened her heart.”
(3) Verse 15 – Mission home and the Philippi church, supporter of Paul’s world missions
You read it today, right? “If you consider me a believer in the Lord, come and stay at my house.” This was the beginning of the mission home. Later, this became the Philippi church. This church later supported Paul’s world missions.
(4) Philippians 1:3–4 – A person inside prayer
Do you know what Paul said? “I always thank my God every time I remember you,” he said. “In all my prayers for all of you I always pray with joy.” There are people who come to mind whenever we pray. There are people who come to mind whenever we are upset. Right? There are people who become a thanksgiving whenever we pray. A church leader who is inside the pastor’s prayer—look closely at Paul; this is necessary. A pastor inside the church leader’s prayer; Remnants who are inside the prayers of praying saints—this is the happiest. This is called the absolute journey. This is the method of evangelism and world evangelization.

3) The absolute guidepost
Third, what is it? It is the absolute guidepost of world evangelization. What is the absolute guidepost?
(1) Verses 16–18 – Healing the demon-possessed
Now, while going to meet Lydia, they met a demon-possessed woman. This now is the absolute guidepost. This is a marvelous thing. They healed her. Demon-possessed people suffer greatly. They healed her.
(2) Verses 19–40 – The work in the prison
Then, because their source of income was gone, the merchants accused them. Thus they were imprisoned. In the prison, again, a work arose. You must surely remember this.
What is prayer? What is an answer? What is the power of world evangelization? If you know only this, it is enough.

▣ Conclusion
Then a conclusion comes out.

1. Re-challenge, reproduction, re-creation
Re-challenge, reproduction, re-creation. If this does not happen, in worldly terms, it “won’t pay.” You must firmly hold to this. The answer comes out.

2. Tithe (Malachi 3:10)
Finally, I want to mention that every church likely has concerns about budgets. Do you know the fundamental meaning of the tithe? The land of Israel was divided among the 12 tribes. It was divided—given to 11 tribes, and not given to the Levite tribe. Why? “Do not let the lamp in the temple go out. The Levites will take turns doing 24. Wear the names of the 11 tribes over your heart and pray.” That is it. “Therefore, you 11 tribes, just bring one-tenth of the land you received to them.” Then it becomes equal. In some sense, the tithe is less an offering than something to be given as a matter of course. It is not that we helped the Levites. We gave what was the Levites’. So that they would pray for us. That is the meaning of the tithe.

As for the church—God even said this: “Test me in this—if you tithe—see whether you will be blessed or not.” In the Bible the phrase “test God” appears only there. “Test God,” He said. “Check why the goods in your storehouse are rusting or being eaten by moths.” That is the tithe. Therefore, if you give the tithe properly, the church budget will never be lacking. Though it is in the Bible, we keep doing it wrongly and saying, “We don’t have, we don’t have.” We truly must be blessed. Teach this to the children as well. For some people, offerings are precious. Offerings given to the church are the economy of light. You must not treat that lightly. You must teach it properly to posterity. That is the economy of light.

3. Paul’s team that gave nine-tenths – Offerings are the economy of light
To conclude—what is even more important? Paul’s team did not give just a tithe. The reason is, they gave nine-tenths. I pray that such Remnants will arise. Remnants who have the strength to give nine-tenths. Right? If that sounds unpleasant, then earn much. What is the problem in logic with earning ten billion a month, giving nine billion to the church, and using one billion yourself until you burst? Logically it stands. Therefore, the Early Church team gave the “tithe of nine.” The economy of light. Think much on this, and truly from this week find out: what is prayer, what on earth is an answer, and what is the power of world evangelization? I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to discover this. I will pray.

Prayer. We sincerely thank You, God. Let this be a time to confirm Your Word. Let us enjoy the answers of new challenge, reproduction, and re-creation. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
