Scripture Reading: Acts 11:19
Especially evangelists must absolutely remember this. Every single time evangelism was done, without exception, persecution and affliction came upon the evangelist. You must not be unaware of this.
Right now in this great persecution, there is an answer. At any time, you must first understand two things.
▣ Introduction
You must understand two things.
[ Problem ]
The question is, what is the problem?
[ Answer ]
Then what is the answer? You must not fail to remember this.
Whenever the evangelism movement took place, this happened. They even accused Jesus of being a heretical leader. Every time the evangelism movement occurred, persecution continued. You must first understand this.
[ Problem ]
[ 1. Satan 12 ]
The twelve strategies of Satan. Of course he will persecute.
[ 2. Church ]
And you already know the message, right? There are several problems in the church that has been deceived by Satan. Many human things have entered the church. Many worldly things have come into the church. This blocks the gospel.
What must elders be most careful about? It is not that the church and the world are entirely different. But the most important thing is that if worldly things are brought into the church, it becomes the biggest problem. People do not know and just take it lightly.
Why did God use Paul’s team and not Peter’s team? Because they kept bringing in worldly things. What are worldly things? “How can you go to Cornelius’s house and eat?” This was the Gentile prejudice they learned from the Jews. They kept bringing that in—things unrelated to spiritual, life-saving works. “Still, shouldn’t we keep Jewish laws?” “Still, shouldn’t we be circumcised?”—these absurd statements.
People enter the church and do this. They talk about the atmosphere of the church, public opinion, and such things. Elders must remove these things. Even one elder who truly prays can stop this. People unknowingly keep trying to bring worldly atmosphere and worldly things into the church. But for a missionary who truly understands theology, this is extreme suffering.
[ 3. Ecclesiastical Authority ]
And as you know, “ecclesiastical” refers to church authority. This church authority also keeps blocking the gospel.
[ Answer ]
But there is something you must keep in mind. What has God prepared for you?
[ Separately ]
What is the answer? “Separately.” Do you know what this means? There is something different that is not mixed. Always. God desires this. And with this, He intends to do world evangelization.
When new believers hear this, it may be very difficult. New believers can think like this: “Do not listen to people’s words. Listen to God’s Word.” That is enough. “Do not go on Sunday and talk about people. Do a Word forum.” It is different. When you meet people, do not speak nonsense—give testimony. The whole world is falling into disaster. Therefore you must speak light. You must remember this.
Because people do not know this, “separate” means “set apart.” It means consecrated. And it means something different that is not mixed.
Those who are listening to the message today in Korea and throughout the world—and the people of the Lord in Asia—are called for this reason. You are not called for this (problem), but for this (answer – separately).
▣ Main.
Then what happens in such times?
- False Charge
The early church suffered completely unreasonable legal accusations and false charges. When they were falsely accused, what happened?
1) Mt. 28:1-20
At that time, God did an amazing work. When false accusations and many problems came, what did God do? Christ resurrected and proclaimed the message of world evangelization. You must believe this.
2) Mk. 16:15-20
Through you, God heals the sick, casts out demons, and saves the people of the world. This is what God is accomplishing. Even while you are falsely accused and suffering. Therefore you must know the answer accurately.
3) Acts 1:1-8
Then they made it into law. Not only those in Mark’s upper room, but anyone who followed Jesus was to be arrested. What did God do then? On Mt Olive, He gave the mission of world evangelization in its complete form. You must know what the true answer is.
4) Acts 1:14
They were arresting believers and imprisoning them. But at that time, completely unrelated to that, they devoted themselves only to prayer. You must know what work God was doing. This is the real answer.
5) Acts 2:1-47
And finally, the greatest answer of Mark’s upper room—which you must receive—came. Why do we go to worship on Sunday? To see this answer.
Our elders and church leaders are important people, are you not? Starting next Sunday, when you worship, seek the works of Acts 2. You must receive the flow of the Word, the future, and before that, the strength and power—every Sunday.
- Imprisonment
The disciples had done nothing wrong, but they were imprisoned simply for proclaiming the gospel. When they were imprisoned, what happened?
1) Acts 11:19-30
God caused this work to happen. Those who were scattered gathered and began world evangelization. Do not be deceived by false answers—see the true answer.
2) Acts 12:1-25
Peter was imprisoned again. He was locked up. The believers and church leaders gathered and earnestly prayed. Should you not experience the power of prayer? That night, God sent His angel and worked. He struck down Herod.
You do not know prayer, so you do not receive answers to prayer. You must know prayer, and you must know what the true answer is in order to receive answers. While they were falsely accused, this answer (Main point 1) came. And while they were imprisoned, this answer (Main point 2) came.
3) Acts 13:1-4
Finally, what happened? The promise of Scripture was fulfilled for the first time: the sending of missionaries. It was fulfilled for the first time. Before this, it was done only by force.
- Law court
When they faced legal hardship in the courtroom, what happened?
1) Acts 19:21
“You must also see Rome.”
2) Acts 23:11
While suffering in the courtroom: “Take courage. You must testify in Rome also.”
3) Acts 27:24
While going to stand trial, they nearly died. At that time: “Paul, do not fear. You must stand before Caesar.”
Today you must know what the true answer is.
▣ Conclusion
And what conclusion must we always reach? It is world evangelization—and the ones scattered. The most important in Scripture are the scattered disciples. That must be your conclusion.
