The Start of Eternal Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC (42)
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-4
Our remnants, new family members, and church leaders all have a common question. “What should we do?” They often ask this question. The very fact that you have asked is already a blessing. The fact that you’ve asked, “What should I do?” means that the answer has already begun. The fact that there is no question before God may seem like strong faith, but it can also mean there’s no real interest.
So then, how should our remnants begin world evangelization? What should our church leaders do if they truly want to receive answers? And what should pastors consider as the most important? It is worship. Not just worship, but a life that concentrates on worship. This is the power.
So if you look at Acts chapter 2, at the very beginning, they held onto the covenant and came down, and the power came upon them.
▣ Introduction
1. The reason for worship
If we want to surely receive answers, we must first understand the reason for worship. Why is worship so important?
1) The essential blessing of mankind
It is the essential blessing that only human beings can enjoy. You must not lose hold of this. It is the most essential blessing given only to people. If you lose hold of Sunday, you lose hold of the six days that follow. If you lose God’s blessing during Sunday worship, you’ll wander for the next six days. That also means you’ve already lived the past six days in that way. Then what will happen to your spiritual state?
2) The voice of God
Worship is not about listening to a human voice but hearing the voice of God in your conscience.
3) Healing, summit, 237
So in true worship, great healing takes place. Worship is the time when you become the summit. Only then will the 237 become visible to your eyes.
That’s why you must think deeply about worship now. Pastors, your preaching is important—but that’s not all. You must have firm assurance that through your preaching, the voice of God is going forth.
Because worship is everything, it’s not that I prepare the sermon only on Saturday. I prepare it all week. When I go home tonight, I’ll organize it, but I carry it with me everywhere in my pocket, and it comes out through prayer during the week. That’s why I never wear clothes without pockets. I always carry it. Today, I’m making a resolution again. After this, by tomorrow, I will make another resolution—“Why is God telling me to deliver this Word?” Whether people understand the sermon or not doesn’t matter to me. Whether it’s easy or difficult doesn’t matter to me. I can only deliver the answer I’ve received through prayer.
That’s why I do only one thing—I enjoy the secret of prayer in my rhythm, my life, and everything. That’s what I want to talk about. I’d like to receive pictures of the difficult parts of our mission church or things I need to see, because I want to place them inside my 24-hour prayer. Prayer is always fulfilled.
2. The content of worship
Then, what’s more important? The content of worship. What happens when we worship? What’s inside it?
1) Sunday – 1, 3, 8
In the Old Testament, the Jews risked their lives to keep the Sabbath. We, with the resurrected Lord, worship on the Lord’s Day. What happens then? Christ, the Kingdom of God, and only the Holy Spirit come upon us. This is the content of worship.
2) The three feasts – concentration
Second, “When the day of Pentecost came.” This is very important. On Sunday, we concentrate on enjoying the blessings of the three feasts. So when it says “When the day of Pentecost came,” it means that those who had already passed through the Passover met on the day of Pentecost. That person then enjoys the Feast of Ingathering, the background of the throne. This is the content of worship.
3) Acceptance, transcendence, answer
So it’s not just worship. We face many realities and problems, but it doesn’t matter. This—acceptance, transcendence, and answer—is prayer and worship. If a great problem came to you, there’s a great answer. If a small problem came, there’s a small answer. Everything has an answer. There is no lock without a key. Worship is about finding that key.
But it doesn’t end there. During worship, very important works and history take place.
3. After worship
After worship,
1) The flow point
You must hold on to the five important flow points. That’s after worship. Only then will works take place.
2) The six days
You take what you’ll enjoy for six days. Then, without fail, when you go to the Tuesday gathering, something will break open. Those who know this confirm the message even if they can’t attend Tuesday. Then we have the Core. When you go there, you’ll find answers connected to the three-day weekend age. You take that and go to Sunday worship. Then you’ll find what to enjoy every hour—that’s the prayer journal. You’ll be amazed. Then you’ll know that your life isn’t by coincidence.
So be assured. If a great hardship came, a great answer is certain. You wouldn’t ask an elementary school child to solve calculus, right? You’d ask, “What is one plus one?” because they’re little. But if I call Pastor Lee Sang-bae and ask, “What’s one plus one?” either I’m a fool or he is. I’d ask something difficult, wouldn’t I? We carry the answer we’ll enjoy for six days.
3) Strength
From here, we gain great strength. That’s worship. You must find it. Even if you don’t feel any special experience, that’s fine.
▣ Main Message
So we must find several important things. We must find them.
1. Forty days
If Jesus spoke about forty days, shouldn’t we naturally find out why?
1) Acts 1:3, 8
On that day, in Acts 1:3, He explained and gave the promise for forty days—“Only by the Holy Spirit.”
2) Acts 1:14
More important is verse 14. They went forth with assurance. Nothing else was needed. Did great hardship come? It’s okay. They gathered. If people told members of our World Mission Church in Anyang, “If you go, you’ll die,” how many would come? Yet they came. Some people leave church just because they get offended. They leave after hearing people’s words. But these people were different. “If you go there, you’ll die. It’s heresy. It’s banned by law. You’ll be arrested.” It didn’t matter. They gathered. That’s where God worked.
3) Acts 2:17–18
They began to proclaim the future.
4) Acts 2:42
Then in verse 42, during worship, they could clearly see the flow of the Word.
5) Acts 2:46–47
It didn’t end there. Every day in the temple and in their homes, the Word was fulfilled. Don’t lose hold of this.
2. Concentration
When concentrating in worship, there are important things you must do now and tomorrow.
1) Answer
While listening to the Word, you must find the answer. You can’t memorize everything from today’s or tomorrow’s sermon, nor do you need to.
2) Imprint
You must imprint it through prayer. This is important.
3) Confirmation
Then it naturally comes—“Ah, this is what I must pray for during the six days.” You confirm it. You must do this.
3. Flow
While praying on Sunday, the flow becomes visible.
1) The Word
You can see how far God’s Word has come to you. In the past, I realized that God’s Word had nothing to do with me. That was a big problem. But that’s when God’s work began.
2) Prayer
I confirmed the flow of prayer when I realized I didn’t know what prayer was. Later, God led me to enjoy all of life through prayer.
3) Evangelism
I once thought evangelism was too difficult. That was the level of my flow. But once I realized it, God blessed me so that evangelism became my specialty.
4) The field
In the past, I just went to the field without thought. Now, I always ask questions. Just asking is enough. When I went to Immanuel Training Center, I asked, “What must I do in Gyeonggi Province?” That building became ours. When we rented a small building at Deokpyeong Training Center, I asked, “What evangelism must I do here?” It became ours. Everywhere I go. When I went to Yeongdo, I asked, “Where is the place we must train here?” That’s how you see the field’s flow—during worship. Even just a glimpse is enough. But as you continue, it naturally becomes your enjoyment. You must gain strength and receive answers. Nothing else. When? Now. Not tomorrow or the day after—now. When does the work of the Holy Spirit happen? Now. When does the door of the throne open? Now. Only invisibly. If it were visible, swindlers and robbers would ruin everything. When it’s invisible, they can’t interfere.
5. The nation
Finally, we must align our direction with God’s. “Go and make disciples of all nations.” Then we must be able to see the flow of our nation—its spiritual flow. What is the spiritual flow of America? You can see it.
4. Background
Then comes the fourth part—what is the true background?
1) The throne – [Bartizan]
Finally, as the flow of the throne becomes visible, the bartizan also appears. You see this flow.
2) [Journey]
Then, as you know, the journey of the throne—this flow—becomes visible.
3) [Guidepost]
You can see where you are headed and what you must do.
5. The last
Then comes the important last part. What is it now?
1) Every day
Every day, gain strength. Nothing else. In the morning, restore everything. You must restore it. You must be strong. In the morning, restore everything. During the day, confirm. At night, receive the answer.
2) Every hour
Every hour, confirm that God is working. Can’t you see it now? Thanksgiving must arise naturally from your heart. This might be the only place in the world where people gather every week to discuss how to evangelize the world. You are sitting in that very place.
3) Every matter
In every matter, you must create 300%. This is important.
So then, what kind of answer is taking place now? Right now, as you sit here, the power of the throne and the Triune God are working within you. Isn’t that right? If not, there’d be no need for worship. Worship is when you concentrate and experience this power. Even though you haven’t physically gone there, the Kingdom of God comes upon the place you pray for right now. That is prayer. That is worship. And when you wait, the work of the Kingdom of God is fulfilled. Isn’t it so? But because people don’t realize it, they get distracted and miss it again. The blessing has already come, but they lose it.
▣ Conclusion
When this happens, three things come to the scattered disciples. Three things come.
