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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

▣ Main

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

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

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

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

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

▣ Conclusion

If you hold to this covenant, you will see:

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

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

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

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

2025.08.10 Sunday 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 62:6-12

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2025.08.03 Sunday 2nd Service
Church Construction Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Romans 16:25-27

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

▣ Main point

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

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

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

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

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

You must prepare the vessel that must be blessed.

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

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

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

▣ Main point_ The three courtyards temple

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

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

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

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

Now, let me speak about the courtyard of healing.

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

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

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

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

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

▣ Conclusion
Let us conclude.

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

---

▣ Conclusion
So the conclusion is this.

1. Go as a watchman
Go as a watchman.

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

2) One who prepares the highway
Prepare the highway.

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

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

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

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

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

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

---

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1) No calculation
Elisha didn’t calculate anything.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

▣ Introduction: What We Must First Tell the Remnants

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

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

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

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

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

2) The skill to defeat lions and bears

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

3) Make 300% before graduating

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

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

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

1) King Saul possessed by an evil spirit – Wounds

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

2) David who escaped numerous hardships and crises of death

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

1) The absolute bartizan of prayer

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

2) The bartizan of power

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

3) The bartizan of the future

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

We must tell this fact to the remnants.

▣ Main Point_ David’s confession of faith

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

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

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

1. I lack nothing.

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

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

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

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

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

2. Because the Lord is my Shepherd

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

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

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

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

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

3) Your rod and your staff protect me

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

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

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

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

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

2) David who built 1,000 bartizans

Later, David built 1,000 bartizans.

3) David who built the eternal bartizan

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

▣ Conclusion

There are two things the remnants must hold onto.

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

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

2. Enjoy the happy blessing.

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

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

2) Every hour – you must gain strength.

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

3) In everything – find the 300% answer.

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

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

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

1) The church leader who saved Luther

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

2) The hospital and church built with mission offerings

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

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

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

4) The Antioch Church

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

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

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

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

Missions Dept. Devotional Worship
Scripture Reading: Ro 16:25-27

237 Missions Devotion Service

Jesus promised missions and said it this way: He said, “Only.” It means do not worry. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” This means do not try to do anything else. Also, it means do not be discouraged even if the answer does not come quickly. He said to wait. “When the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will receive power.” “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.”

「Missions 24, 25, Eternity」 (Romans 16:25–27)

Today is the missions devotion service, so it is 24, 25, and eternity. Because all people are within this time schedule. We need to find the blessing within this time schedule. Even if there is just one person who knows this, they can save one church. And they saved one region. And they saved one nation.

▣ Introduction_ The hidden things

Why is that? Because God gave the hidden things to that person. To whom? That is what’s important. God gave the hidden things to the person who knows this. You must receive this blessing. He gave it to Paul and his team.

1. The reason

It is the person who knows the reason. Since they know the reason God gave, God cannot help but give it to them.

1) The 17 disasters

Satan used 17 methods to bring disasters. It is the person who knows this.

2) The situation

Because they do not know this, people fall into it by themselves. And they hold onto it themselves. Because they do not know.

3) Spiritual problems

So now they are caught in spiritual problems that they cannot possibly let go of.

2. Changing the bartizan

Why does the person who knows this do missions and evangelism? It is to completely destroy Satan’s bartizan and raise God’s bartizan. Simply put, just change the bartizan. Then the answer is bound to come. If there is a bartizan of darkness, answers of darkness will inevitably come. So to the person who knows this, God gave the hidden things. You must remember this. Churches that do evangelism and missions worry about many things, but you don’t need to. Everyone here does not need to worry about your future. Satan aims for that. He aims for you to worry. Because the only way darkness can win over you is that one thing—it digs into your worry. He said, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Satan can only dig into the thing you are doubting, so he knows he cannot win over you. So for those people who are dying, trapped in this darkness, spiritual problems come, and they cannot solve them. So you must change the bartizan. That’s why we must do the three-day weekend age. It is not just about selling things.

3. Changing the imprint

It is about changing the imprint. Yesterday, on Friday night, we talked about “imprint healing.” You must change this.

4. Seeking recreation

Next is what? The DNA that can do world evangelization must change. It is to seek recreation. He clearly said, “You are a new creation.”

5. Changing the future

After that, you change the future.

So what did God do to the person who knows this secret? He gave what was hidden. Why does He hide it? So He does not give it to others. Because you cannot give something so precious to just anyone. That’s why our remnants must not worry. Other people will not understand. If you hold onto this covenant, God will go to wherever the remnant is. It’s absolutely true. Remnants must receive this level of blessing. Depending on where the remnant is, God moves everything. Some people might feel very offended hearing this, but it is true.

Look at Joseph—depending on where he was. Right? Look at the Bible. Depending on where Moses is. Absolutely. Depending on where David is. Depending on where Paul moves. God practically moved the world. Would you open your eyes once again? Depending on where the gospel goes. Right? Because the gospel had to go to Rome, God revived Rome. Because the gospel had to go to England, God revived England. Because the gospel had to go to Europe and Germany, God brought revival there. But one day, these nations did not evangelize anymore. The gospel had to go to America. So God blessed America. They do not realize this themselves. Americans think they are great. “Ah, our country is great.” They own more than 50 times the land of our nation. If Korean people had just 1/3 of that land, they probably would have turned the world upside down.

We have nothing, small land, no oil. There is a reason God is blessing Korea. Korea is even within the powerful nations. Last week, President Trump said, “Isn’t Korea a rich nation?” That’s right. Why? Because God is moving the gospel movement to Korea. Now it’s not just Korea—it’s going to the multiethnic people. You need to open your eyes to this. Others do not understand. “After the gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come.” What did He say before that? All kinds of incidents happen? It’s okay. All kinds of events break out? It’s okay. It is Jesus’ word. “After the gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come.”

▣ Main point_ [ Fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation ]

So then what is the blessing you must receive? You must surely receive it. You must receive the hidden blessing. What is it? I spoke about this on Friday. You must gain the fundamental power. You must gain the power to change the imprint in others. You must change it. You must gain the power of recreation. Though I proclaimed this for the first time yesterday evening, this is a reason you must never lose hold of for your whole life. If you are physically sick, you must go see a doctor right away and get instructions. There is no other way. But what we are talking about is something different. What about the fundamental issues? That is not the doctor’s responsibility. You cannot blame the doctor if you don’t follow what the doctor says. The power to change the imprint—you must cultivate that. The power of recreation—you must cultivate that. For those with very high blood pressure, doctors will give them medicine and say, “Take this.” Then you must do what they say so you don’t have an accident. But more importantly, you must make it so your blood pressure doesn’t rise in the first place. Fundamental power. The spirit and the body are the same. How do you cure depression? You must make it so depression doesn’t occur. So this is very important. Why do we need world missions? Because of the issues mentioned in the introduction. Because these are not resolved, there are so many people with depression. People with depression underestimate themselves too much. “I am nothing. I can’t do anything. I’m anxious.” Some people overestimate themselves too much. That’s bipolar disorder. They overestimate themselves. “Do you know who I am?” The illness is like that. It all starts from oneself. Some people have grandiose delusions about themselves. That is schizophrenia. Some people have a deep sense of victimhood about themselves. Like this, people keep getting ill centered on themselves. Since they can’t overcome it, they commit suicide. It keeps happening. Frankly, medicine cannot solve this. That’s why the whole world keeps getting harder and harder. With the gospel you have, you must heal this—(fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation).

1. Missions 24

So then, first—what is missions 24?

2. Missions 25

What is missions 25?

3. Missions Eternity

What is the eternity of missions?

1. Missions 24

What is missions 24?

[ Recovery of power ]

First, you recover the power that God gives.

2. Missions 25

What is missions 25? This is not our timetable. It is 25.

[ Recovery of the throne ]

You must recover the throne. Jesus Himself explained this.

3. Missions Eternity

What is the eternity of missions?

[ Recovery of eternity ]

Truly, though we cannot do it, we recover the eternal things that God has prepared. “I will give you what has been hidden since before the ages.” During the remaining time this week, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to gain this power (the main point). You are bound to receive it.

1. Missions 24 [ Recovery of power ]

How do you recover the power of missions? The early church had fixed-time prayer every day. Right? “At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.” That was the time Peter raised the crippled man. It was the time of fixed prayer.

1) Daily

So I found the daily prayer by looking at this covenant. Gain strength. For me, setting an exact time for prayer is honestly difficult. Some people set an alarm. That’s difficult. What if the alarm goes off while eating? How do you pray? What if you are meeting someone and talking, and the alarm goes off for prayer? “Hold on a moment,” and pray? That’s hard. Honestly, if you really try to pray, the answer comes. Setting a place to pray? That’s possible once or twice. But for me, it’s hard to practice that. Going to a set place every day? I can’t do that. So how did I find the way? The 3 concentrations. The 3 settings. The 3 answers. Every day. What is the 3 settings? When you open your eyes in the morning, start prayer right away. Find everything. Especially when you wake up in the morning, while many people say their fatigue is recovered and they are revived during sleep, I don’t see it that way. You can lose a lot during sleep. More people die in their sleep than sitting up. Right? More people catch a cold while sleeping than while sitting. Personally, I think after sleeping you must recover greatly. So your brain, your lungs, everything, your spiritual things must recover. You can do all of this while moving. In the morning. Because you have to prepare. Today I woke up at 3:00 AM, departed at 7:20 AM. That’s 4 hours and 20 minutes. Continuously. During the day? You confirm this blessing. At night? You derive the answer. Then it becomes set. It becomes a platform, the watchman’s light shines, and the antenna of communication is made. Comfortably. Then when a problem comes, you already see the answer. Right? I’ve never worried over something for more than 5 minutes. The answer comes out. Not only the answer comes, but you also see renewal and opportunity. Then what? Joy comes. Do you understand? Daniel was about to die, but he prayed with thanksgiving. Right? What is that? He saw something. This must happen to you every day. You must remember this. Don’t make it hard. Our remnants, when you go somewhere? To another region or overseas? Alone—it’s hard. Just start. The moment you open your eyes, you must start gaining strength. Never be deceived. There is no need to designate a place. And when do you pray? Setting a place? Right? Of course, it’s good to have a quiet place to pray. But you must be able to pray anywhere.

2) Hourly

I have something I do hourly—there is something I enjoy for 5 minutes every hour. Hourly. During this prayer.

Last week, I read a book about people with depression and panic disorder—about what state they are in. I mostly read books written by doctors. Why? Personally, I trust them the most. Others, I trust a bit less, so I don’t read those much. Last time, too, I read a book written by a doctor. This person had dealt with mental illness patients for decades. And how did he conclude? He said, “Anyway, those people need comfort.” That’s right. But if I could meet that person, I would want to give them the answer. Whether it’s a husband, wife, or child—if there is someone nearby who comforts them, that helps. But it doesn’t heal them. Because it’s a spiritual disease, they need God’s comfort. That’s why this power (fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation) is necessary. I wanted to tell him about this. Why? Because the issues in the introduction need to be resolved. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible, but they don’t have the gospel. That’s right. So these days I’ve been thinking, “Should I send my opinion to such great people?” But the last doctor I read was Japanese. I don’t know Japanese, so what should I do? Well, I guess I could use a translator. But the book I read this week (Breathing Reset) was written by a Korean doctor. He’s a pain specialist. What did he write? Even the title is from a medical perspective: “Even just correcting broken breathing will eliminate chronic pain.” I believe this 100%. Why? Because I understand about breathing. These days, doctors have started to rise up. It’s trustworthy. The content is good. Why do I say this? Because I focus for 5 minutes every hour on this. Exercise, breathing, finding the answer. I do it without fail. Every hour. Before coming here today, I did about 300 squats and push-ups over there. And I kept taking notes about what to deliver during this important message time. You must always exercise in sync with breathing. They happen simultaneously. For those of you who are doctors, listen carefully, professionally. A journalist investigated athletes’ lungs. 90% had lung problems. Why? Because they run without breathing properly. That’s not exercise—that’s labor. It becomes something very painful. But if you match your exercise with breathing, it becomes incredible power. I combine those three things and do them for more than 5 minutes every hour. Try it. It doesn’t take any special time. While washing dishes, do squats. While brushing your teeth, do it. Who’s going to stop you? I do it in the elevator. If someone opens the door, I pretend like I wasn’t doing anything. You can do it as much as you want. It’s fun. You’re busy.

3) Every matter

In every matter, you must gain the answer. This is 24. I believe this is the 24 that Christ taught. Daily—you must gain the strength God gives. Hourly—you must gain strength. Do not be deceived. In every incident—you must get the answer. We keep believing lies, so spiritual problems come. We must believe God’s word. This is my 24. This is the beginning of missions. Recover the power. Our remnants don’t need to go anywhere. Do what you can wherever you are. “I went somewhere but there’s no church. What should I do?” Do this (daily, hourly, every matter). This is church. “But at work, it’s so hard.” What should you do? Daily, hourly, every matter.

Let me give the example of the remnant Joseph, who faced the hardest difficulties. Joseph became a slave. He had no power. No time. No freedom. He went to prison. It became even harder. These three things (daily, hourly, every matter). He enjoyed them before God—morning, noon, and night—things no one could take away from him. No one could steal that time. And in those events, God’s work arose. That’s 24. Just recover this without fail. With this, gain fundamental power, change the imprint, and recreate. Without this, you keep trying to do things with just surface-level methods—that’s why it’s hard.

2. Missions 25 [ Recovery of the throne ]

So what is missions 25?

1) The throne

It’s the throne. That power.

2) The kingdom

The kingdom of God.

3) The work

The work of the kingdom of God. That’s what happens.

What is the throne? In Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 to 13, it says God created the heavens and the earth with His word. That power. When raising remnants, Isaiah chapter 6 verses 1 to 13—it was the Lord seated on the throne who gave the promise. He appeared to Isaiah. The resurrected Christ kept speaking about this (the throne). Right? “I will be with you until the very end of the age.” “The Lord seated on the throne worked.” That Christ promised the kingdom of God. How should we pray? Pray for the kingdom to come. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”—pray that way. “For 40 days He explained the kingdom of God and its work.” What is the work? The answers the seven remnants received. That work. The answers the people of Hebrews chapter 11 received. That work. This is 25.

3. Missions Eternity [ Recovery of eternity ]

What is eternity?

1) 300%

Finally, God will lead you, remnants and all of you, 100%. And He has prepared everything 100% where you are going. Do not worry. Your future is prepared 100%. What do we call this? 300%. This is eternity. You must never lose hold of this.

2) Masterpiece

The second is what? With eternity, you create your masterpiece. What is the content of the masterpiece? The 7 bartizans, the 7 journeys, and the 7 guideposts—that’s the masterpiece.

3) Monument

This becomes the monument you leave for the posterity. Because it must remain forever.

Just hold onto the covenant. As you confirm God’s word now, what must come to you? Peace must come to you. Are you impatient? Are you getting lazy? Or are you busy? What do you feel while listening to God’s word? You must feel peace. And you must gain strength. Right? Are you feeling stifled? No, right? To this extent, God has prepared everything for you. This is true healing ministry, and it is also the summit movement.

▣ Conclusion

1. One person

One person who does missions is enough. God’s power is not lacking because it’s just one person. Right? David alone did everything.

2. One team

One team is enough.

3. One church

If even one church realizes this, that’s enough.

1. One person ( Where )

What is that one person? Who does God want? Where are they? You must be within this (main point). Right? If you are outside the covenant and say, “Give me answers,” that’s problematic. Where are you? You must be inside this. Within the 24 of God’s power. Within the 25 that is the background of the throne. Within the background of eternity.

2. One team ( Who )

One team is enough. Who are you meeting? If you have meetings with those who evangelize, you can recover everything. There will surely be such people. If an elite who evangelizes meets another elite who evangelizes—a man and a woman—what happens? There’s no need to ask. Just get married right away. All of our remnants are precious one by one, but last week I told Chanmi too, “All you need to do now is marry well.” This meeting is all important. It’s really hard. Some kids who understand the gospel can’t study well, and some who study well don’t understand the gospel. They give us trouble that way. But now there are elites who understand the gospel. Our remnants need to meet those people. This too is God’s blessing. Look at this (one team—who). Who you meet is important. And when you meet people like Priscilla and Aquila, the meeting is complete.

3. One church ( Only )

One church is enough. It’s not just the gospel. It’s only the gospel. Right? It’s not just prayer. It’s only prayer. You have to do evangelism? No—that’s not it. It’s only evangelism. Only being a witness. That’s it. Even if there’s just one believer like that. If there’s just one church that enjoys “only,” world evangelization will happen.

Today, during the six days of prayer, you must make a resolution. What are the diseases rising all over the world? Powerlessness is more frightening than spiritual sickness. Pray for it to be bound. What is the disease shaking the world’s people? Poverty. Pray for it to be bound. Physical illness is not the main issue. It is spiritual disease. Pray for it to be bound. May this week be a week of gaining great strength. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.

Prayer

We thank You, God. May the greatest glory of God appear this week. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.

▣ Introduction_ The reason we hold the Remnant Conference – Preparation for 300% Power

When they entered the land of Canaan, they thought there would be great blessings, but the opposite happened. It wasn’t just 14 years—it was 14 generations of leaders, and during that time they suffered under the Philistines. Fourteen generations—that is an extremely long time. They couldn’t even dream of world evangelization; they were constantly harassed by war with the Philistines. But this time, it wasn’t just that—they were faced with Goliath. And the terms Goliath presented were different from before. He didn’t say, “Let’s have a war.” He said, “If there’s anyone among you who believes in the Lord and has strength, come out.” This was outright mockery. He was saying, “Anyone who believes in the Lord, come out. Come out and fight me.” It was completely different from regular war. He said, “If I lose, our nation will surrender to you. But if you cannot defeat me, you must surrender to us.” David heard this. As you know, David dealt with Goliath in a single moment. This is a well-known account. But it’s not about knowing it; we must receive this answer ourselves.

※ If a believer does not enjoy or proclaim God’s power, it becomes the gravest crime.

If someone becomes a king but cannot use the power given to him, that is the greatest sin. If someone becomes a president or a member of Congress but does not use their power correctly, that is the gravest crime. Likewise, if a believer cannot enjoy and proclaim the power of God, it becomes the gravest crime. How much power did David have? He defeated Goliath easily—not just easily, but as if eating porridge, without difficulty. He handled it simply. Today, we must look at this and find the answer.

There are three things we must know first. Why do we hold the Remnant Conference?

1. After holding to the covenant – prepare for 300% power
It all began when the leader Samuel gave David a great covenant. After David held onto this covenant, “He was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” He prepared 300% power. At that time, his father entrusted him with an important errand. It wasn’t just any errand. He said, “Make sure you take this and bring back proof.” For the leader and the parents, this became the start of something tremendous. This is the first reason. Why do we go through so much trouble to hold the Remnant Conference? This is the reason. We must not raise remnants who will close down powerless churches and powerless churches around the world. The three organizations have declared, “America no longer needs churches.” Even the president said, “Don’t pray in Congress anymore.” And they said, “Do not pray in the name of Jesus Christ.” It has come to that point. That is why we gather our prayers to raise remnants.

2. Remnants must prepare with 300%

The second reason is this: why must remnants prepare with 300%? “He was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” You must have this power. Don’t be deceived. Our remnants often worry about the future. Do not worry at all. What will you do in the future? Don’t worry about that. The answer will come. You just need to know something first. Let me give you three examples starting with Joseph.

1) Joseph
Joseph did not worry, “What should I do?” He already knew—world evangelization. But he went to a place that had nothing to do with that—as a slave. And there, he gave 300%. Cleaning, 100%. That household received 100% of the blessings. Potiphar saw this and was moved. “What will I do?” There is no need to worry about that. That is something an unbeliever does. For you, who are saved, God has a plan. Immediately, Potiphar said, “Don’t just be a slave,” and appointed him as the chief steward, responsible for everything in the house. Then he was falsely accused and sent to prison. It’s okay. There, he gave 300%. He gained strength through prayer even in prison. In the prison, he became the chief steward again. And what happened? He interpreted the dreams of the officials and gained recognition from the officials. He gave 100% in the field. This is the way to the future. You must know this blessing.

2) Moses
Next is Moses. He realized this a bit later. Even before entering the palace, he was 100% prepared with the covenant. He studied for 40 years in the palace. He was 100% prepared for the field. Then he went to Midian and prepared through prayer. He became a global leader. There’s no need to say more. This is what we must raise.

3) Samuel
Another one is Samuel. “Not a single word of Samuel fell to the ground.” That’s 100%. “There was no war while Samuel was alive.” That’s another 100%. “Those who saw Samuel served the Lord.” This is why you must know the reason for the 300%. What will you do? Don’t worry about that.

3. The timetable – enjoyment, waiting, challenge
There is another reason—the timetable. Enjoyment, waiting, and challenge. The time will surely come. David enjoyed and waited. The timetable came, and he challenged. Many people misuse the expression and say, “It’s like the fight between David and Goliath,” as if it means an unfair fight. But in reality, if David fought 100 times, he would win 100 times. Remnants, take this power with you.

▣ Main Point_ How do we receive this power?

1. Before going out to the world – establish your personal absolute bartizan.
First, how do you take this power? You must remember this before going out to the world. Before going out into the world, establish your personal absolute bartizan. Stake your life on it. You must give everything you have for it.

1) In the pasture (Psalms 78:70-72)
David was already in the pasture when this happened. It is written in Psalms 78:70-72. Even at a young age, he entered deeply into the Word. Do not miss the message. Remnants all over the world, do not miss the message. Wherever you are in the field, do not miss the message. To what extent? Psalms has 150 chapters. David wrote one-third of them. Hold onto the Word like that.

2) A person of praise (1 Samuel 16:23)
And do you know what else? He was a person of praise to the extent that evil spirits departed. Even as a child, he was already prepared. His vessel was prepared.

3) The skill of not losing even one sheep (1 Samuel 17:34-35)
How skilled was he? He did not lose a single lion or bear when they came after the sheep. To save the sheep, he hit the critical spot on the lion or bear with a stone. If you just throw it anywhere, they’ll go wild, but if you hit the vital spot, they collapse. David was that precise. He threw the stone at the vital point and knocked the bear or lion unconscious, then tore open their mouths and rescued the sheep. He said he never lost even one sheep.

4) David received the future and the sure covenant through Samuel (1 Samuel 16:13)
That’s not all. Samuel himself came. The high priest Samuel came and said, “Do not worry.” He delivered the future and the sure covenant to David. From that moment, David received the bartizan of power. This is important. “From that day on, David was greatly moved by the Spirit of the Lord.” This is the first point. No matter what anyone says, do not be deceived. You must first receive the bartizan of power before going out into the world. There’s no need to listen to people talking this or that. What use is it if you have no power and just talk at work? Can a church survive on words alone without power? Can a nation survive like that? Our remnants must go and save people. Train that power now. Remember this well.

2. On that day – take the bartizan to save the field (the power to overcome darkness).

The day will surely come. Take the field-saving bartizan—the power to overcome darkness. Never be shaken. No matter how difficult it is, you must take the bartizan that saves the field. David already had it.

1) Goliath insulting God (1 Samuel 17:1-16)
Let me explain the situation. For 40 days, Goliath stood in the Valley of Elah, shouting and threatening. On one side stood the Israelite army, terrified. Goliath was six cubits and a span tall—that’s about 2.9 meters, close to 3 meters. He was enormous. If he played basketball, he could just grab the ball and dunk it immediately. How strong would a man of that size be? His armor weighed 5,000 shekels—that’s 57 kilograms. Just imagine wearing armor that heavy. His spearhead alone was 7 kilograms. He carried a fearsome spear. For 40 days, he mocked Israel. “Bring out someone who believes in the Lord!” He insulted God and demanded someone come out. The Bible says Saul and all the Israelites were terrified. Saul said, “If anyone will fight Goliath, I will give him half of my wealth and make him my son-in-law.” How many do you think volunteered? Not one person volunteered. Why? Because they knew they would die. There’s no point in wealth or marriage if you’re dead.

2) Jesse’s errand education
At that time, David was running an errand for his father. His father said, “Make sure you take this and bring back proof.” This is the kind of education we must give to remnants. We must help remnants see what is important—to see the power of God. That is our mission. Nothing else matters. If you lose out there, it’s useless. No matter how great your words are, if your children are defeated by unbelievers, they’ll have to run errands for them.

3) David knew the reason why he had to fight Goliath (1 Samuel 17:23-29)
Verse 25 says, “Not one warrior is stepping forward.” No one did. David heard this mocking voice. He asked his brothers, “What if I fight Goliath?” In verse 28, his brothers said, “You’re an arrogant and wicked boy.” They said, “You’re arrogant and evil.” But in verse 29, David answered, “Is there not a cause?” David knew exactly why he had to fight Goliath. His brothers had nothing to say. They accused him of arrogance, but how can someone receiving God’s answer be arrogant and evil?

4) “The Lord will deliver me from the hand of the one who insults Him” (1 Samuel 17:31-37)
Saul heard about this. Saul was desperate. David was brought before him. As you know, Saul said, “But you are a boy, and he is a seasoned warrior. How can you fight him?” That’s a reasonable point. How could a child fight a general? But David said, “The Lord delivered me from the lion and the bear. He will deliver me from the hand of the one who insults the Lord.” He asked to be sent out.

5) To defeat Goliath, you don’t need armor (1 Samuel 17:38-40)
Saul was desperate. But none of the armor fit David because he was just a boy. So he took off the armor. Do you need armor to defeat Goliath? The soldiers in armor couldn’t defeat him. So David went without it. He simply took his staff and a sling.

6) David went out in the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:41-47)
Goliath said his first and last words. Laughing and mocking, he said, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” That was Goliath’s first and last statement. He didn’t know it would be the last words of his life. David gave an important answer in verses 45-47: “You come at me with sword, spear, and javelin, but I come at you in the name of the Lord, whom you have insulted. Today the Lord will deliver you into my hands. I will prove that salvation is not by sword or spear, but by the Lord.”

7) David defeated Goliath (1 Samuel 17:48-58)
Did Goliath understand? Maybe not. But as soon as David spoke, he threw the stone. It flew straight into the only exposed part—between the eyes where there was no helmet. According to the late Principal Yoon’s data, the stone traveled at 135 km/h. It struck and embedded into Goliath’s forehead, and he immediately collapsed. The Bible says, “David had no sword.” But Goliath had one on his waist. David pulled out Goliath’s sword and struck off his head. David had already prepared everything. This wasn’t done out of impulse—it was thoroughly prepared. He grabbed Goliath’s head—the head of the man who had insulted the Lord for 40 days—and cut it off. Imagine that scene. David carried Goliath’s head. Saul was shocked. He should’ve said, “Wow, you did it! You used to play music in my palace, and now you’ve done this great thing.” But Saul was so shocked he said, “Who are you?” David answered, “I am the son of Jesse of Bethlehem.” This was David’s strength. We must raise remnants with the power to overcome darkness.

3. Take the future bartizan that God has prepared.

Third, take the future bartizan that God has fully prepared.

1) David who overcame suffering (Psalms 23:1-6)
From this point, David received many answers, but suffering also came. It was obvious—the powerless ones tried to kill David, pouring out hardships upon him. King Saul had no power, so he tried everything to kill David. Saul’s servants made up lies: “David must not be left alive.” Saul was moved by these lies. How did David overcome this? He said, “The Lord is my shepherd; I lack nothing. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for Your rod and staff comfort me.” This was David’s confession in the midst of great pain. “I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” David completely overcame.

2) The one thousand bartizans
David even prepared the future bartizan. He fulfilled the message he received from Samuel. Before doing that, he did something else first—he built one thousand bartizans throughout the nation where people could pray and protect the nation.

3) Preparing the temple to house the Ark of the Covenant
After that, he prepared for the temple that would house the Ark of the Covenant. He said, “I sleep in a comfortable bed, but the Ark of the Lord is in a tent blowing in the wind.” He expressed his agony over this. So he decided to build the temple—a temple to save the world. He fully prepared for this. The Bible says, “The Lord saw only David’s heart.” We must help remnants hold to the correct covenant, whether they can accomplish it or not.

▣ Conclusion

Let’s conclude.

1. David’s faith was always the same.

1) In childhood (Psalms 78:70-72)
David’s childhood faith was important. Though he was young in age, his faith was greater than the king’s. Psalms 78 says so. From tending sheep, he received the blessing of becoming the king who shepherded the nation.

2) In adolescence
He defeated Goliath during his teenage years.

3) In youth
He faced many hardships as a young adult, but his faith remained the same.

4) As a king
Even as king, he pleaded with tears to build the temple.

5) In old age
More importantly, his faith remained the same even in old age. When people around him began calculating and scheming, thinking David was old, they tried to set up a new king. His own son Absalom gathered an army and attacked his father. David was a warrior—he could have killed him immediately. But he ran away—barefoot because he was in a hurry. As he fled, he made one request to his soldiers: “Do not kill Absalom.” Any other king would have ordered his death, but David said, “Do not kill Absalom.” Later Absalom died—he had long hair, and when his horse bolted, his hair got caught in a tree, and he died.

As David fled, Shimei—a man from Saul’s clan—cursed and threw stones at him. David’s men wanted to kill him, but David said, “Do not. Maybe God sent him. My own son betrayed me, so why not Shimei? If God grants me grace, I will be restored.” Fleeing like that is not easy.

At that time, someone came—not to curse him but to help. It wasn’t a grand gift but something that matched David’s situation—some food and provisions. David was deeply moved. In hardship, some people make it worse; in hardship, others help. This person was Barzillai. Later, when David returned to the palace and rebuilt a strong nation, he called Barzillai and asked, “What can I do for you?” Barzillai said he needed nothing. “Since the king has returned, I need nothing else. Just bless our descendants.” David remembered Barzillai’s son Chimham and later called him to the palace.

No king left behind something as remarkable as David did.

2. Resolution – I will enjoy the timetable of the throne and establish that bartizan.

Today we must make a resolution. I, too, will enjoy the timetable of the throne and establish that bartizan. There is no reason not to resolve this.

1) Abraham began building the altar
Abraham struggled and then made the resolution to begin building altars.

2) Isaac after the incident at Mount Moriah
You know that Isaac almost died on Mount Moriah. After that, he made a resolution. God gave Isaac a blessing 100 times greater than others. He didn’t just receive a spring; he received the fountainhead and the blessing of Rehoboth. Make this resolution.

3) Ezekiel
God asked Ezekiel, “Can these dry bones live?” He didn’t say, “They cannot live,” nor did he say, “They can.” He said, “The Lord can do it.” Then God told him two things: “Prophesy to the Word,” and “Prophesy to the breath.” You have the right to prophesy. Believe it.

4) Jeremiah (Jeremiah 33:1-3)
God spoke to Jeremiah a second time. What did He say? Jeremiah was imprisoned, yet God said, “The Lord who made it, the Lord who forms it to establish it—the Lord is His name—says this: Call to Me, and I will answer you and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.”

5) The evangelist’s resolution
I have made a resolution. Since I have no power, I will pray with the covenant of 24, 25, and eternity. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be your time of resolution.

---

Prayer

We give thanks to God. Let today be the day when this important resolution is made. May the work of God begin anew in our lives. We pray in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
