2025.09.28 District Message 39th Week
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8
We may not fully understand what “300% answers” means.
① Now
Right now, during worship, the very thing by which you gain the most strength—what you most need today—enjoying this is the start of the 300%.
② Field, Work
And when something happens in your field or your work—wherever you go, you enter a field and do work. In Joseph’s case, he received great answers there. He was not originally a slave, but he was taken as a slave. Joseph’s talent was not cleaning, yet he ended up cleaning. There he himself received answers. Potiphar saw and recognized, “The LORD is with Joseph.” Others in the field also saw that God was with him. This is the 300%.
③ Lifetime
Then, in time, you discover the 300% of what you are to do for your entire life.
So, the term “300%” may sound vague.
① Now (must)
But for me, simply asking, “What is the one thing I must do now?” brings answers. Don’t start in a complicated way. As you worship today, just hold to: “What grace must I receive in worship today? How will I pray today?” Even that becomes 300%.
Let me give one example. Long ago I served as an evangelist teaching children in the primary Sunday school. The kids seemed not to listen at all. My impression was that they didn’t understand—during the sermon they hardly listened and kept talking. I even wondered, “Was I like that as a child?” So I asked, “What is the one thing I must do? What do these children really need?” The answer came, and it was big. In Scripture I saw small groups meeting in upper rooms for the Word movement. I realized, “Ah, that’s it.” I told the church, “We invest much time and resources into Vacation Bible School, but at present it’s wasting time. It isn’t helping the children. Let’s make it truly helpful.” So, in nearly thirty neighborhoods, we held VBS in the mornings locally—this is, simply put, the upper room (small-group) format. In the afternoons all Remnant children gathered at church for a festival, while mornings were for Bible study. The church leaders who opened their homes were overjoyed. What shocked me was that the Word truly entered the children—and when the Word entered, change happened.
So, even with a small question on our part, great answers came. As you know, Rahab the prostitute received this (300%) answer in a matter of days. All she did—apparently—was hide the spies, yet she received tremendous answers. In reality, like that, Rahab had already heard all the Word. She had seen the events that occurred and had heard what had happened along the way up to that point. Now Israel had to enter Canaan. She saw all this. That’s 300%.
(Acts 1:8)
So what does “300%” mean? According to Acts 1:8, it is the fullness of the Holy Spirit: “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you in fullness.” Then you will receive power. Today, for all the saints—especially many church leaders, elders, and seniors—pray, “God, grant me the fullness of the Holy Spirit today. Grant me new spiritual strength.” If you gain this strength, that’s it.
▣ Introduction: Standard
By what standard should we do this? Let’s briefly look at the preface. With what standard should we pray today?
[ 7 Bartizans ]
Let these bartizans arise in me. When they arise, what happens?
24
You receive God’s 24 blessing.
Throne
At that time the power of the Throne is revealed. This is the standard.
Guidance of the Holy Spirit
And you come to be completely led by the Holy Spirit.
This is the baseline for our prayer life.
〔Imprint〕
[ 7 Journeys ]
What other standard? We must go on the journey.
25
We must go the journey, but with our strength we cannot save people, so we go with the 25 power. This is what we pray for. The very difficult problems you have cannot be solved by our power. Beyond that, we cannot accomplish world evangelization. So pray, “God, grant me the power of the Throne.”
Root
Then what has been imprinted begins to take root as we walk the journey.
The most important part is: imprint it by prayer. Then the root will surely go down.
Work of the Holy Spirit
When it takes root, what happens? Works arise in the field. This is the work of the Holy Spirit.
This is our standard. We are not wasting time with empty notions—prayer is scientific. In fact, worship is the most precious action humans can do. True worship time is the best time we have. Always enjoy it. Enjoy it today as well.
[ 7 Guideposts ]
The guideposts God has given you are these. What kind?
Eternity
A guidepost called eternity that others can see and follow as well.
Nature (Constitution)
This is the work that changes many people’s destiny—their nature.
Fruit of the Holy Spirit
This is what we call the fruit of the Holy Spirit. This is the standard. The time given to us is 24, but God has the timetable of 25 and eternity. When this blessing is imprinted, it takes root and becomes your nature.
May today—and this whole week—be a time you gain great strength, truly praying throughout the day.
▣ Main: Answers that Come
Then there are answers that surely come. The (introduction) is the standard. We do not vaguely wait for prayer to work; we wait while enjoying this (introduction). So what answers come?
1. Me
There are answers that come to me.
2. Work
For our Remnants, all industry workers, and everyone—there are answers that come to your work.
3. Evangelism & Missions
Our goal is not merely to earn money so we can eat. Our goal is evangelism and missions. Here is where the 300% comes.
1) Me
(1) 3 Concentrations
As you pray this (introduction), the answer of three concentrations comes to you—morning, daytime, 24.
(2) 3 Settings
From then on, an important platform is built—three settings.
(3) 3 Answers
Before you even go out into the world, you already go with the answer. Surely the answers come this way.
Many people say, “Let’s just pray,” but it’s not “just” prayer. Prayer is everything. Jesus said, “This kind does not go out except by prayer.” He also said, “When you receive only the fullness of the Holy Spirit.” Other powers are invisible; therefore, you must possess the other, unseen power.
2) Work
(1) Professionalism
Then 100% professionalism emerges.
(2) Fieldness
And not just professionalism, but 100% fieldness that saves the field.
(3) System
Then a 100% system that sees the future. This is the 300% answer in your work.
3) Evangelism & Missions
What arises in all of life?
(1) Acts 13:1–4
The Holy Spirit is set to guide you perfectly. Believe it. In one sense, because you are important people, if the Holy Spirit does not guide you completely, then don’t go yet. I myself lack courage to go out unprepared. How could I go if I’m not prepared? My personality makes it hard to evangelize randomly on the street or knock on strangers’ doors. But one day I saw that Scripture isn’t arranged that way; it is arranged like Acts 13:1–4. To enjoy this blessing, Paul fasted and prayed. The Holy Spirit revealed the person, the place, and the task. Remnants and young adults, enjoy this blessing. Surely works will arise.
(2) Acts 13:9–11
Darkness is broken. The Nephilim are healed. God’s amazing systems are formed.
(3) Acts 13:12
The proconsul is changed into a disciple. This is how it goes—300%.
So today, enjoy this power in Lord’s Day worship, and remember it well.
▣ Conclusion
1. Answer
During today’s worship and prayer, you will receive an answer. When it comes, pray with it all day.
2. Imprint
It must be imprinted. Otherwise, even if you write down the whole sermon it won’t help much. Better than not writing, yes—but still of little use. As you pray all day, let this key Word be imprinted.
3. Confirmation
Then during the six days you will pray with what has been confirmed. Strangely, when you go to the meetings, the Word connects; in the core meetings, the Word connects—it all comes out. When you sense answers coming through the Word, doors of evangelism and missions will open. You will enjoy this.
Power
Why must this (entire message) be power? Because without the power of the Throne, we cannot do world evangelization. What is world evangelization? Even eating can be difficult. Without this power, even keeping up with unbelievers is hard.
237
When this power comes—though unseen—you will be able to save unbelievers and the 237 nations.
5,000
If you only believe, because this power works by the Holy Spirit, you will certainly save the 5,000 people groups. Believe it.
When do answers come? Precisely in due time. People don’t recognize it—that’s why Jesus said, “Do not give pearls to pigs.” If you put pearls on a pig’s neck, can it recognize them? Pigs need feed. If you give pearls to a pig, it tramples them. It doesn’t know they’re pearls. Jesus wasn’t speaking to literal pigs—He was speaking to pig-like people. How can you give jewels to pig-like people? We are spiritual beings; if we don’t know the work of the Holy Spirit, we get beaten by Satan.
May today be the day you gain unprecedented power, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer. We thank You, God. Grant us fresh strength today. Bestow new grace we have never had before. Let the Kingdom of God come upon the places we must go. Let all darkness bound to the places related to us be broken. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
