[Excerpts from Pastor Ryu’s District Message, October 26, 2025]
What happens when you pray?
The Triune God works, and the power of the throne is revealed. When you pray, the kingdom of God is established. Unbelievers can never know this. Those who are not saved have nothing to do with it; they cannot know. As you pray, the work of the kingdom of God is being fulfilled. Jesus spoke of this from the beginning. In Matthew 6:10, when asked, “How should we pray?” He said, “Pray that His kingdom may come.” And even at the very end, He spoke for forty days about the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). So you must always remember this. You must receive strength every day, every hour, and in everything.
Every Day
[The 3 Concentrations] How can you enjoy the blessing of gaining strength every day? You must gain strength in the morning. You must restore everything through prayer. This is the most important. If you rush in the morning, trying to get to work, that is a problem. If you wake up in the morning with worries and difficulties, that is a problem. Regardless of your circumstances, you must gain great strength through prayer in the morning. From the time you wake up until you begin your work, it’s morning. During that time, you must gain strength and restore everything. The remnants can do it even just for five or ten minutes. Especially our elders and church leaders must breathe deeply for an extended period. You must revive your brain. Then your health will be restored, and you will recover all prayer. You must do this with the 7·7·7 prayer, pray over the day’s schedule that comes to mind, and do so for a long time in the morning. Elders especially must do this. Why? Because if you neglect it, your brain can suffer from dementia and other problems as you age. Doing so changes how you see during the day. So during the day, you confirm the answers and blessings. Then at night, when you quietly begin to breathe and pray, many fulfilled answers become visible. This is called the 3 Concentrations.
[The 3 Settings] Then, though you may not have anything, a platform will be formed. This is important. In your company, in your work, a platform must be established. This is important. When a platform is formed, people will come. Then you will save those people. That is the watchtower. Those people will come to receive the same answers you enjoy—that is the antenna. This is called the 3 Settings.
[The 3 Answers] When a problem occurs and you pray during that time, prayer lets you see the answer. Right? You often talk about conflicts and hardships, but we must quickly renew those as blessings. Maybe sickness or hardship (crises) may come to you. At that time, it is an opportunity to experience God’s power. This is called the 3 Answers. You must enjoy this daily.
Every Hour
What do you do every hour? You confirm. You confirm how God’s answer comes and observe the flow. What kind of time is it right now? Confirm that—that is the “every hour.” And tomorrow you will go to your workplace or somewhere, right? What is that? You go into the world with new grace. Finding and enjoying such blessings alone each hour—this is it.
And especially our elderly members—please do this. Exercise once every hour. That is normal. For me, if I say, “I’ll go exercise,” I don’t have time. “Someone is coming to teach me exercise”? I don’t have time. I must do it alone, anywhere. I do squats and push-ups. Why? Because the legs must be strong. I do it once every hour. Please do this.
What I am saying is 24. Saying, “I should go somewhere to pray”—that shows one does not know prayer. You must see everything within prayer. Right? So I do all three daily concentrations every day. This is prayer. It is comfortable and does not take time away, and when you start your day, you begin with strength. It must be so. You must not be powerless in all things. Remnants must prepare earlier and more leisurely than others, not always busily. You can never succeed that way.
In Everything
In all things, 300% is made. It is bound to happen. If you do not do your work 300%, unbelievers will say you are incompetent. But if you do it this way (300%), they will be astonished. Whether you do business, trade, or any kind of work, do it this way—300%. Then you will save the people, the field, and the future. This is the power and the answer to prayer. So when asked, “What is the answer to prayer?”—it is 300%. “What is the filling of the Holy Spirit?”—It is 300%. I came to realize this. “What is the filling of the Holy Spirit?” 300%. “What is success?” 300%. Whatever profession you have, if you do it like this, you will succeed. You understand, right?
Sunday
Then you come to Sunday. What is Sunday for? It is the day of healing, the day of becoming a summit. Pray today until you are fully healed. Pray today until you become a summit. This is Sunday. “When the day of Pentecost came”—what happened? If this piles up each week, what will happen? There’s no need to ask. But if you come to church on Sunday but receive no grace and spend the service only thinking about people, what will happen after one, two, three, five, ten years? If you keep doing that, as you grow older, what will happen? Our elders must gain more strength as they age. On Sunday, pray to the point of being healed and becoming a summit. So, during Sunday worship, find the answer. As you keep praying, it becomes imprinted, you are healed, and you become a summit. You must have a firm resolution about what you will do over the next six days.
