▣ Introduction
At times you may meet someone who says, “I used to go to church.” Why did that person stop going to church? Also, Israel still does not understand. They experienced seven great disasters. And now even the United States does not understand. In America, people with mental illness are rapidly increasing. Many children, while studying, face mental difficulties and end up taking medication. This is no small matter. Yet, no matter how much psychiatrists try, at most they may offer some help through medication, but it cannot truly solve the problem. Because the fundamental problem is not solved, the world keeps becoming more difficult.
Whenever I go to Japan, I always feel that “this is a country far more advanced than Korea.” Everything is a little different. Even when buying essentials, I can feel the difference. So I can sense, “Ah, they are much ahead of us.” And yet, in Japan there are now so many people suffering from mental illness. No one talks about it. Why? Because there is no answer.
And now among teenagers, there are many who never come outside, who just stay at home, locked in their rooms. In Europe, young people gather to do drugs. The numbers are so large now that they are hard to control. Why is this happening?
The reason is that many people do not know what the gospel truly is. People say, “I know the gospel!” But if you know the gospel, the evangelism movement arises. If you know the gospel, answers take place. Our remnants must set this as the standard.
Jesus said, “It is finished.” Yet, in reality, I still face things that are not working out. That is the most important starting point. Because people do not know that, they end up not knowing the gospel. We may have something precious, but if we do not know what it is, it’s useless. But if you know it during your remnant days, world evangelization will arise. You have received a great blessing. If you know the gospel during your remnant days, world evangelization will certainly happen. That is why you must surely hold to the covenant.
When I began the evangelism movement, I discovered that if you ask Christians about Christ, most of them do not know. I gathered students and asked them, “Raise your hand if you are a child of God, if you are a saved child of God.” Only a few timidly raised their hands. The rest stayed silent, and even those who raised their hands did so without confidence. When I asked, “Are you really sure?” some lowered their hands again. How can they live their lives with such little assurance? Almost all were like that.
One time on a flight to the U.S., someone sat next to me. Watching me write things down, he asked, “Are you a pastor?” I said yes. Then I asked him, “Are you a believer?” He said yes. He turned out to be a member of one of the most famous churches in Busan. Immediately he said, “I do not serve in the church much, I do not devote much, and I do not live my Christian life properly.” I asked if he was a deacon, and he said he was an ordained deacon. I told him, “Deacon, what is the problem? It is good to serve in the church, but even if you don’t, that is not the issue. You are a child of God. You must enjoy that blessing. Blessing is not based on how much you do at church. You are not blessed if you serve a lot and unblessed if you don’t. That’s not the level of the gospel. You must know what Christ really is.” But since we were near landing, I could not say much more. That is how it is. That experience made me even more convinced: “We must properly carry out the gospel movement.”
There was a woman named Shim Jin-Song who was a shaman fortune-teller. People lined up to see her. Yet she was the daughter of a church elder. She was demon-possessed and doing those things because she did not know what the gospel is. So I sent someone, “Go and share the gospel with Shim Jin-Song. She has never heard it before.” When they went, there were dozens waiting without an appointment, hoping to be seen. While waiting, they saw a man in a necktie. Our pastor approached him and shared the gospel. He said, “This is the first time I have ever heard this.” They went into a café and talked further. There, he accepted the gospel, received Christ, and prayed. He had come to have his fortune told but instead received the gospel. He wept and confessed, “I am an ordained deacon at such-and-such church.” There are many such cases.
So if our remnants understand the gospel, that’s the end. Pastors, do not worry. The gospel is already finished. You only need to do the evangelism that God truly desires. No need to worry about anything else. Our elders and businesspeople must truly hold onto Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation. What about remnants? Do 300%. That’s all.
So what is the gospel? It is saving the world with 300%. Because people miss this blessing, they inevitably suffer. But if remnants receive this blessing, you will certainly become witnesses wherever you go. If difficulties come, even better. If you face real hardships, that’s even better. Always remember: meeting a crisis is a chance. You must carry the answer beforehand. Remnants do not go to find the answer; they go already possessing the answer.
▣ Main Point
So then, what must we confirm today? What must we check?
1. The gospel? (Matthew 16:16)
What is the gospel? You must know. Most adults do not know, and even the Jews did not know.
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not overcome it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Jesus gave this blessing.
The moment I realized the gospel, everything was finished. “My parents’ weaknesses are not my fault, but part of God’s plan. If the church is not evangelizing, it means God is telling me to evangelize.” I found all the answers. Every church I went to was not evangelizing. “Then I will evangelize with those who understand.” What is the problem? There is no problem.
Remnants must not be deceived. During adolescence, there may be conflicts or struggles. But those who truly move the world have none of that.
1. Jesus is the Christ (Liberation) – Salvation
What is the gospel? It is that “Jesus is the Christ.” What does it mean that Jesus is the Christ? It means He completely rescued us from curses and disasters and set us free.
1) John 8:44
More importantly, John 8:44 says He set us free from the devil. Jesus said, “The devil, your father, is a liar, a deceiver, and a murderer.” Even today some pastors ask, “Why do you talk about Satan?” I cannot understand that. Jesus spoke of it from the beginning. As soon as He called His disciples, He said, “I called you to be with Me, to preach, and to drive out demons.” From the beginning, Genesis 3, the problem of life started with Satan. How can someone say, “Why talk about that?” It makes no sense.
2) John 19:30
How did He set us free? “It is finished.” Your past, your parents’ problems, your present, your future—all finished. Do not be deceived. If even doctors can heal diseases, how much more can God? Do not be deceived. He has set us free.
3) Romans 8:2
And not only that—Romans 8:2 says, “The law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.”
2. What He gave (the throne)
You must also recover what Christ has given. This is understanding the gospel. What is it? The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne. He did not only give salvation. Salvation is part 1, but He also gave us the background of the throne and told us to go with the bartizan, journey, and guidepost.
3. The Lord
He is your Lord who takes full responsibility until the end. Many people teach wrongly, saying “You are the lord.” That is dangerous. If you say, “You will become Buddha,” or “You will become like God,” that is dangerous. That is religion, and religion leads to ruin. Our Lord is God. Our Lord is Christ. What kind of Lord is He?
1) John 1:12 (Status – Authority)
“To those who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.” Becoming God’s child means your status and authority have changed. Whatever problem comes, it is okay. You must know how to wait. Wait.
2) 2 Corinthians 5:17
Also, 2 Corinthians 5:17 says He has changed your spiritual DNA. Amazing. You cannot be destroyed.
3) Galatians 2:20
And what else? Galatians 2:20 says, “Christ lives in me.”
2. The reason people lose hold
Then why do people lose hold of the gospel? Because of this, Israel was ruined.
1) Matthew 16:13–20 (Wrong gospel)
In Matthew 16:13–20, they said He was like Jeremiah, John the Baptist, Elijah, or one of the prophets. Because they thought of Him that way, they were ruined. They held onto the wrong gospel.
2) Acts 11:1–18 (People’s standard – Tradition)
In Acts 11:1–18, people kept arguing based on human standards and past traditions. Because of this, spiritual problems were never solved.
3) Galatians 2:10–20 (Atmosphere)
In Galatians 2:10–20, it was about atmosphere. Remnants, because you are called to save people, do not be deceived by people’s standards. Because you are called to change the atmosphere, do not be deceived by it. The weakest point for remnants is atmosphere. During remnant years, you are especially vulnerable to atmosphere. That may seem natural, but you must overcome it.
3. Enjoying the gospel
So then, how do we enjoy the gospel? It is not difficult.
1) John 1:11–12
Christ came as the Light. What does that mean? This Light shining on you drives away all darkness. You believe that and receive Him.
2) Acts 1:1–8 (The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne)
In Acts 1:1–8, He gave the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne. You must enjoy this. I only pray with this, and answers continuously come. I do not pray about other things. Just pray for this to come upon the field.
Even now, some ignorant people criticize talking about breathing. That is truly ignorance. Then stop breathing! Scientists and doctors are urgently talking about this now. The way we currently breathe is too shallow to revive the brain.
So remnants, once a day, pray with the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne. Pray thinking, “This revives my soul, my body, and my brain.” Just praying with this will let you see all answers.
3) Philippians 3:8–21
Finally, Philippians 3:8–21. If someone who cannot study says, “Studying is not necessary,” that makes no sense. But if someone who studied well says, “Studying is not that important,” then that is meaningful. If someone who graduated from a poor university says, “You don’t need a good university,” it sounds odd. But if someone from a prestigious university says, “You don’t need it,” then it makes sense. If a beggar says, “Money is not important,” that makes no sense. But if a rich person says, “Money is not important,” that makes sense.
Paul studied greatly and yet said, “It is not important. Because of this, I failed to know Christ. It was a loss to me.” He said, “I have not accomplished much. I am pressing on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. I do not need earthly rewards. I seek the prize of the heavenly calling. More than Roman citizenship, heavenly citizenship is more important.” He said, “The name that brings everything into submission.” Even when it looks like answers are not coming, they all do.
I am not someone who shows outward excitement. Even if I am very angry, I don’t appear angry. Even if I am very happy, I don’t show it much. Because of that, even when answers come, I don’t outwardly express much. But as time passes, I see that all my prayers are answered. Then it struck me: “Prayer is offered before the throne and stored in God’s vessel. Prayer is imprinted in the brain and in the soul.” I realized this scientifically. Revelation 8:3–5 says prayer is imprinted in the throne. You must remember this.
If you know this during your remnant days, world evangelization will certainly take place.
4. The power of the gospel
Enjoying the power of the gospel.
1) Exodus
When the gospel was testified, its power brought liberation from Egypt. When the gospel was testified, when Samuel offered the blood sacrifice at Mizpah, they overcame the Philistines. When people with this covenant stood, they overcame Assyria and Aram. When the covenant “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel” was delivered, they overcame Babylon. When they held onto “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God,” they overcame Rome. This is certain.
2) Healing the Nephilim
Healing the Nephilim problem that even America cannot solve, and even the three organizations cannot solve. This is certain.
3) Healing darkness
Healing darkness. Among Buddhist monks, even a chief monk now fully attends our church and confessed in his testimony, “Only Christ solves everything.” He had suffered deeply spiritually, and nothing else could help.
▣ Conclusion – [7·7·7]
1. Prayer – Imprint
From now on, imprint the 7·7·7 through prayer. Nothing else is needed. Just imprint it through prayer.
2. Study – Root
Then the second thing will come. When you imprint the 7·7·7 through prayer, it will take root in your studies. That is the true thing.
3. 300% – Witness
When you continually enjoy this prayer, you will become witnesses of 300%. What does 300% mean? God worked in Joseph. 100%. God worked in Potiphar’s house. 100%. Even though Joseph suffered because of that, God had prepared a special path. 100%. He was a witness. You must remember this.
Honestly, even 5 minutes a day is enough. Strictly speaking, for remnants, even once a year could be enough. But so you do not forget, even 5 minutes a day will bring works.
So now let us conclude with the scattered disciples.
