Since this message is something I have enjoyed over the course of 40 years, I am explaining it over the course of several days. So you need to check it well over the course of a year. So you must make it into a path for your whole life. Since you have less experience than adults, your understanding may come a little more slowly. But actually, you can apply it even more quickly.
Uh, Jesus’s final pulpit was Mt Olive. When he preached the message there, he gave an explanation about the kingdom of God. But Paul was not present at that scene. Yet it was Paul who fulfilled that message. So when the Holy Spirit works, age doesn’t matter. When the Holy Spirit works, nationality doesn’t matter.
So today you must remember a few final words. I will give the full summary tomorrow. Today you must firmly grasp the words of Lecture 4.
Uh, when the Remnants spoke of the mission they carried, most people cursed at them. Joseph’s brothers cursed at him tremendously, almost calling him crazy. When David spoke of it too, his brothers grew angry. Also, when Elisha followed Elijah to the very end, many of the disciples mocked him. So it can happen that ordinary people do not understand the covenant you hold, and that’s why this happens.
“The Way of God’s Spiritual Emperor” – 300%
This is the fourth lecture. As for what path you must now walk, you are higher than an emperor. So the path you are walking now is no ordinary path. You are a spiritual emperor personally sent down by God. This is what you make into 300%.
So prayer during worship is important. Because worship is where you can see the important flow. So gatherings are also important. Because there is a great flow there. But more important than that is “prayer enjoyed through life.”
Worship is something done together. “The path of the spiritual emperor that you enjoy through life” refers to “morning, day, and night.” Today I’m not talking about that, but about “what comes after that.” As you truly walk this path, you need a “special time.”
Introduction. Dawn
So besides morning, noon, and evening, you need a “special time.” “Have a time of completely awakening the dawn.” Not everyone can do this.
1. Exodus 12:12
Looking at Exodus chapter 12, verse 12, this is the moment Israel was set free and came out. Uh, that was the dawn of Passover. God does tremendously important things at dawn.
Exodus 14:24
What does Exodus chapter 14, verse 24 say? It says that at dawn, the Lord worked through the pillar of fire and the pillar of cloud.
“Take hold of the covenant to completely conquer the world.” Just staying on that path is enough. I mentioned this yesterday, in Japan they called their king “Tenno” (Heavenly Emperor). I think they named it well. They called their own nation’s king a king sent down from heaven. The word “Tenno” doesn’t really have an equivalent in English. Here is how I see it: it is “the emperor sent down by God.” Actually, this is the path the Remnant walks. “Create this time.” So you must build up your health and strength too, all of it.
2. Joshua 6:14
Looking at Joshua chapter 6, verse 14, this is when Jericho was about to fall. At this point an important message was given. “You leaders, rise early at dawn and march around it. Pass it along.”
3. Job 24:14
Job chapter 24, verse 14 says, “The murderer rises before dawn.”
4. Psalm 119:147
Psalm 119, verse 147 records this: “I rise before dawn and cry for help; the Lord hears.”
5. Hosea 6:3
Looking at Hosea chapter 6, verse 3, there is this record: “His appearing is as sure as the dawn.”
6. Mark 1:35
Looking at Mark chapter 1, verse 35, it records that Jesus rose very early in the morning while it was still dark and went out alone to pray.
7. Luke 24:1
Looking at Luke chapter 24, verse 1, there is this record too. It happened on the first day after the Sabbath. The first day after the Sabbath is Sunday. Right, it’s the Lord’s Day. At dawn on the first day after the Sabbath, Christ rose from the dead.
This dawn is a tremendous time. “Become a spiritual emperor entirely.” There’s no mistake about it. Ordinary people won’t even understand these words. Probably no other church will even talk about this. It’s not that they won’t, it’s that they can’t. “This is the final thing you now take hold of as covenant.” So you must build up physical strength too. You must build up many things. “Conquer everything at dawn.”
Main
What exactly are you being told to do? This is a word you already know well.
1. Heavenly Spiritual Emperor
Heavenly. Have this time. This is extremely important. What does the word “heavenly” mean? It refers to the air, the sky. What matters even more is that Satan has seized authority over the air. This Satan, cast out from the throne, seized authority over the air. That is Ephesians chapter 2, verse 2. And through that, he covers the entire world in darkness. During this time, you must build up strength.
1) In Height
Let me express it a bit. This height right now is tremendous. You are enjoying this world.
2) In Width
It’s not merely that. The breadth is enormous. Remnants operate on a different dimension.
3) In Depth
The depth is tremendous. You could say it’s almost an infinite world. Find this strength. “Concentrate on what you absolutely must do.” “Concentrate on what is failing the most.”
There are two places for the answer. “Concentrate on what you do best, and what you absolutely must do.” What kind of strength must you build up? Take hold of “Heavenly Power.” From there, “Heavenly Talent” emerges. And you take hold of “Heavenly Mission.” This is a different matter altogether. Someone who knows prayer can do this. Someone who knows the presence of God’s word can do this. Someone who knows what 300% is can do this.
2. Thronely Spiritual Emperor
This is the second. Then the answer comes easily, doesn’t it. It must not end at this level. This is “Thronely.” Finally. This is the emperor found here. This is it, I’m telling you. Here, you move the throne.
1) Isaiah 62:6-12
Isaiah chapter 62, verses 6 through 12. This is moving the throne. How is it expressed? It doesn’t say the Lord does not rest, it says, “Give the Lord no rest.” You must have confidence.
2) Ephesians 2:2
What does the emperor of the throne mean? In Ephesians chapter 2, verse 2, you break the one who holds authority over the air, which is extremely important. There’s no need to rejoice over answers that come. There’s no need to fear problems that arise. Right? It’s a process. This thing, that thing, they’re all part of the process. The answer that comes to you is the fulfillment of the word. The answer that comes to you is world evangelization. The big things coming up this time are extremely difficult. Even so, you must find them.
3) Matthew 28:16-20
Now he said he would be with you, holding the authority of heaven and earth on the throne. Look it up. Jesus said this. It’s not merely that.
4) Acts 1:1
“I will build up the throne’s bartizan for you.” This bartizan is Christ. Right? “I will build up Christ’s bartizan for you.”
5) Acts 1:3
“I will make you walk the throne’s journey.” That is how the kingdom of God is accomplished. It’s not merely that.
6) Acts 1:8
A work that completely breaks darkness will take place. Only when you receive the Holy Spirit at 300%, that’s what this means. “You will receive power and be witnesses to the ends of the earth.” Just wait for it. This answer is bound to come. This is what Paul caught hold of.
7) Acts 19:8
Everyone else missed it, but Paul caught hold of it. He boldly explained about the kingdom of God. There’s no competitor for this. Because no one knows it. No one can take this away from you either. Because it’s invisible. Your soul, the important thing, is invisible. Right? These tremendous powers still remain. You must not miss these words.
3. Eternally Spiritual Emperor
Eternally. Concerning this, you are spiritual emperors. Just go this way. What is here?
1) Ancient Time (Genesis 3, 6, 11)
Long ago, in a sense before the foundation of the world, the power that resolves Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11. This kind of thing is hidden here.
2) Timeless (Titus 1:3, 8)
What is it even more than that? Not only from before eternity, but the endless, everlasting power of God that will exist forever and ever is given to you. These astonishing promises have been promised. It’s coming, isn’t it. What is it? Christ. The kingdom of God. Only the Holy Spirit. This is power that exists forever and ever, world without end.
3) Hidden (Romans 16:25-27)
It’s not merely that. “I will give you what has been hidden.” Romans chapter 16, verses 25 to 27. I will give the full summary tomorrow. This is the path the spiritual emperor walks. So, you don’t need to worry at all. There is no one who can take this away. What matters even more, it doesn’t come to just anyone. No one else comes. This is a path only those who will accomplish world evangelization walk. This is your path.
It’s fine even if problems come. That problem cannot defeat this. It cannot defeat Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally power, talent, and mission.
So Paul said this. Faith is the substance of things not seen with the eyes right now, but that is the reality. What we believe in is invisible, yet it is evidence. That’s what he said. That’s right. In this world, people fight and die over visible things. They argue back and forth over visible things and lose the invisible, eternal thing. In a sense, we can give up something small and visible for the sake of the invisible, eternal thing. It is completely different.
So Paul, who accomplished world evangelization, said this. Everything I used to boast of until now, I now consider disgraceful. He called it garbage. He considered it a loss. That’s what he said. And along with that, he said a few things. He said he came to know that knowing Christ is the highest knowledge. So he said he had accomplished nothing up until now. He said he was going after that for which he had been laid hold of by Christ. He said he wanted to be found by Christ.
Right? Your studies are found by Christ. Your future is found by Christ. Right? Christ knows, that’s the point.
In English too, the word “know” has a slight difference. Regarding the country pastor’s wife, if I’ve heard something about her, then I know about her, right? I know a bit about her, I know she interprets, I know whose wife she is. I know of her. But if I know completely, know exactly who she is, that’s I know her. Jesus knows you, and you know Christ, that’s it. Right? Christ knows where you Remnants are. He knows where Ananias was. He knows where Paul, the Remnant who would accomplish world evangelization, was. It’s about making them meet. That path is entirely this path (Main points 1, 2, and 3). No one evangelized Paul. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally. This is the emperor’s path.
At the Remnant Conference, I will speak the conclusion concerning this. Because you need to know the result. But right now, this leader’s message is extremely important. Keep at it until you understand, until it completely becomes your own. I will draw the conclusion tomorrow about how to proceed.
It’s certain. Even though you only heard the more important thing, a work happens, right? Even though I haven’t yet taken hold of it, even just by taking hold of the covenant, a work happens. When the seven Remnants took hold of the covenant, which path did they walk? They walked this path.
So what did Paul say? He said he presses on, not for the things of the earth, but for the prize of the upward call. So many people at that time boasted of their Roman citizenship. Paul was a Roman citizen. But he said this at that time: our citizenship is in heaven. It is completely different. And there was one last thing he said. The name that makes all things submit. There’s no need to slaughter sheep and oxen and shed blood. At that name, Satan trembles. It’s only that you call on it so often that you no longer feel it. Because you always drink clean water, you don’t realize how good clean water is. Go to some remote place and try drinking muddy water. I went to some country where they bathed in it, washed clothes in it, washed shoes in it, and then drank that same water. So there’s no more need to slaughter any more sheep or shed any more blood. In John chapter 14, verse 14, it says, “Pray in my name.” In John chapter 14, verse 16, it says the Holy Spirit will be sent in his name. So at the end, Paul realized this is the name that makes all things submit. He simply believed and prayed in that name, and darkness fled away.
So Jesus said this. “The end will come after the gospel has been testified to all nations.” So the testimony of the gospel and the end of the world are related. That being so, where the evangelist is matters greatly. Even more important, where the Remnant is. Understood?
When a problem comes, immediately turn it into a blessing by finding the answer. You must finish within 5 minutes. If there’s conflict or a problem, quickly renew yourself. Don’t try to change the other person. Change yourself. I go this way. Why is my father like this? Don’t try to change your father. He won’t change. You must change yourself. It’s hard to change your nation. Change yourself. Yourself. God has given you the emperor’s strength.
Conclusion
1. Pattern
Then set a firm pattern for your life. Decide what you will do during worship. You must decide this. Finding the important mission during worship, that’s the first pattern. What’s the second? Morning, noon, and evening are your important pattern. In the morning, conquer the universe. In the daytime, conquer the world. At night, conquer the future. And there must be one more pattern. That is this (pointing to the main body). Truly walk the emperor’s path. You don’t need to worry about anything at all.
Then, up to now, I’ve been telling you: become 300% concerning the word that will save the church. Become 300% as the spiritual emperor of prayer who will save the world. Become the emperor who will save the 3 economies. This is what I’ve been telling you.
2. God – Emperor
In one phrase, what is this? The Remnant is entirely an emperor directly led by God. If we rephrase this, what is it?
3. Remnant
If we shorten this into one single word, what is it? That is Remnant. I have researched the Remnant, and as far as I know, there is not a single theologian who knows this. Of course, there are only two languages I can read, English and Korean. I have searched through every book written in English, every book written in Korean. There is no one who knows about the Remnant.
The most important word in the Bible is “the remaining one, the one left, the one who will remain, the one to be left behind.” This is the Remnant. This word is bigger than the word “emperor.” Carry this with you.
Then, after the gathering ends and you go back, there will immediately be many problems. What must you do? Must you endure it? If you endure it, you get stressed. Must you avoid it? Now, you must go back with the answer in hand. At church too, when you go back, there will be many problems. What must you do? Must you avoid it? That doesn’t make sense. Must you endure it? What must you do? Find God’s secret within it. When you meet a person, there is a secret of God present within that person. Find it. That is called the mission.
Pastors must absolutely remember this. The Remnants have already been given a clear mission through these four lectures this time, and the fifth one tomorrow.
And when you go back, you’ll find there’s so much conflict. Right? “My mom just doesn’t understand me at all.” Some child hasn’t spoken to their father for three years. That doesn’t make sense. You must renew, I must renew.
From now on, keep this in mind. Don’t try to be comforted by people. It will never resolve anything at all. Meeting friends, talking all night, shedding tears, it may look like comfort. But you die spiritually.
I must receive God’s comfort, and I must revive my father. I must receive God’s comfort, and I must revive my mother who is dying, weak and powerless, and revive the elders too. It’s not difficult. You just need to decide.
Sometimes crisis comes. Then when did the seven Remnants receive their answers? At the time of crisis. Right? There’s no need to be afraid.
Take Joseph. He was captured by human traffickers. Everyone would say he was ruined. No, that’s not it. So you must not be deceived.
So enjoyment, waiting, challenge. Those are today’s final words. Enjoyment, what? 24. Waiting, the kingdom of God, that work. Challenge, challenging the absolutely impossible, challenging nobody, challenging nothing. Those three things are the emperor’s mission. I will draw the conclusion tomorrow.
Applause of glory to the Triune God who has prepared everything for you.
We give glory to God. We thank God for opening a Remnant age in every generation. We thank you for enabling us to overcome, in every age, the darkness and disaster that even kings could not know. Let us walk the journey of the spiritual emperor. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
