Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 12:1-10, John 9:1-3
If we have our final ministry, it is world healing. Those whose bodies are sick must have assurance. God will give it to you, just as He properly gave that mission to Paul. If God intended to call us home, He would not need to give illness. Because it is not that, He gave a special covenant to Paul. So Paul is making that confession here now.
Therefore, today, disease can become the greatest opportunity in life. Because Paul was like that. For Paul, it was not just an opportunity but became the greatest opportunity. You must keep this in mind. Also, John 9:3 says that there is a work God will do. Because we do not know the gospel, we say, “What sin did he commit to be like this?” The disciples thought that way too. “That incurable blind man—whose sin is it? Is it the parents’ sin? Is it his own sin?” they said. But Jesus said, “This happened so that the work God wants to do might be revealed.”
There was a man who got cancer and it had metastasized, they said. He was a man, and the media had covered it, and when I saw it, he left his house and went to that mountain, wandering around barefoot by himself, gathering and eating medicinal herbs, and he became healthy, they said. That is fortunate. However, that is not a right life.
Today’s main text contains a tremendous message. This is what Paul said. Within this, you must enjoy complete healing in your life and your lifetime. What did Paul confess? He said he went up to the third heaven. That is what someone said about him. He enjoyed an important timetable worth staking his whole life on. In terms of his life, simply speaking, it was not just healing. He came to see the greatest summit regarding his life and his lifetime.
Paul saw it while praying because of his illness. What does it say? It says he saw unspeakable secrets and revelations. And in verse 9, what does it say? In this life and lifetime, it is making the bartizan, journey, and guidepost that God gives. Paul makes it all here. Today, it is recorded like this in verse 9: God gives great grace.
At this point, whether you are healed or not is not the issue. God gave Paul three things: He made him see the third heaven, and it says He made known unspeakable secrets and revelations that the intellectuals of the world cannot know. So rather, having seen this, he said that weakness was better. You get to taste this power of God.
So from now on, those who are sick and those who will heal—such people must hold onto this covenant with assurance. From now on, if you hold onto only these two lines, it becomes tremendous. It does not matter whether you are sick or not. Hold onto the line of prayer. You must hold onto this and enjoy it.
If you reach the point where, like Paul, you go up to the third heaven, to the point you do not know whether you are in the body or out of the body, tremendous power appears. And it did not end there—he spoke of unspeakable secrets. So he said it in reverse, didn’t he? “Now I have something to boast about.” “I boast in my weakness.” Then you become strong by God’s power.
Paul did not die because of illness. He confidently became a martyr in the missionary ranks of the early church; he did not die of illness. In particular, to heal the sick part, it is the second line: breathing. Life. Hold onto this line. I will boldly say it, and I feel sorry before doctors, but you can heal every disease.
Do not lose these two lines. Hold onto these lines and go. It is a secret no one knows. I am holding the line of prayer. I am holding the line of this strength God gives, by which I can heal many.
Medicine has proven that you must sleep at night, and that sleeping in the day is not good. They said that the brain waste that prevents dementia disappears only when you sleep at night. Yes. If that were the case, I would have died long ago. I mainly sleep in the daytime. I doze in the car. When I prepare many messages, I cannot sleep comfortably at night. How long has that been? For decades. But I always hold these lines.
This has been proven scientifically, and this has been proven biblically. From now on, those who will do healing ministry and those who are sick must hold these two lines and enter into this.
Mrs. Ahn Isuk entered into this to a certain degree: “Before God, the fact that I got cancer will become something to be very thankful for.” She is an unstoppable person. She even explained the reason. “I want to go quickly before God. Why should I fear this?” She rather got better. God’s grace came upon her so greatly.
She is that pastor’s wife. She left many things. Among them, what touches us the most is this: “I can go into fire. I can go into water. Because God is with me there.” She caused many works to arise.
We must completely cut out all of this introduction. I always hold these two lines. I feel only apologetic. I should not boast, but this week, I had a physical examination. It was the most normal it has ever been. I cannot sleep well, yet it cannot be explained medically.
Everyone, the power of prayer is enormous. It is real. Have assurance. Only then can you heal the world—go to all peoples. “If they lay hands on the sick, they will recover.” He clearly said so. I must have that assurance. “Pray in My name.” God will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit. And He will be with you forever.
What is even more thankful is that this work of the Holy Spirit is invisible. This is more real. The church has no idol decorations. Why? Because God is Spirit. We do not turn rosaries. Why? Because God is Spirit. We do not bow before stones and images. God is Spirit.
We are spiritual beings, so spiritual healing comes first, but as the soul prospers, life healing also comes—prospering in all things.
Since you must do healing ministry anyway, God made you sick. Even if you do not understand it, God gave Paul illness in order to do world healing. This is the complete answer.
So we explain God’s power. Though I am weak, I experienced the fact that God’s power came upon me then and there. You can forget everything. Hold onto the two lines.
While your brain is collapsing, to keep your brain from collapsing, you must breathe six times per minute. It has been scientifically proven. How do you use it? Inhale slowly and exhale a lot. Inhale comfortably and exhale a lot.
It may seem like nothing, but because you are constantly breathing, many toxins—eighty-something—are expelled when you exhale. While praying, hold firmly to the line of prayer, hold this, and as you pray slowly, exhale slowly—it takes exactly 10 seconds. I do that. Always. It is true. I have no pain. There is nothing else that is a problem. I keep enjoying it and praying.
Then why must we do it? Because we must heal the world. God called us as witnesses for that. This is not something to believe vaguely, and you must not believe just because you heard me. You must have assurance by looking at God’s Word.
God gave illness to Paul, the model who did world evangelization best. He heals and helps everyone else, but he cannot heal his own illness. Paul staked his life on prayer over this. There, he saw three things. He lived longer and ministered with more power. You must truly understand this explanation.
Constitutionally, turtles breathe three times per minute. To do three times per minute is hard. It is difficult to make it 10 seconds inhaling and 10-plus seconds exhaling. Their constitution is like that. How long do they live? Hundreds of years? Some live 500 years. The reason I say six times is that it becomes the ability to do three times, and then you would live 500 years, right? So we do six times to go similarly.
This is tremendous prayer. Why did I say this before? Because it was scientifically proven, and every hospital adopted it. Because your breathing is short, a scientist discovered in 2019 that it becomes the cause of all disease and received a Nobel Prize.
Then one day, I began to read books like “A Pilgrim’s Prayer.” Why is that? I had been doing it, just doing it, but when I realized, “Ah, there is evidence,” it made me happy. Pilgrims who traveled rugged roads did this prayer. Yes. If you dig into the root, it originally came out of the Christian church. Do not lose the line, and you must keep doing it even now.
Then our elders gain tremendous strength, the brain comes alive, the stomach comes alive, everything comes alive. As you pray, the spirit comes alive, and as it comes together, the body also lives. It is true.
Then what answers do you receive? What God has planted in our bodies, what He has given, and what He will give in the future are beyond imagination. They say humans leave without developing even 3%. They say Einstein developed 11%–13%. The power God gives in the spiritual world is enormous.
First, three things will come. Do fundamental healing that makes your illness the greatest opportunity. Second, possess fundamental power that makes your illness disappear altogether. This is God’s will, right? Fundamental healing and fundamental power must make it disappear. Even if it remains, it is fine. Fight and win. It is enough if the power that blocks what attacks your body is greater.
So what are we to do? We must do an evangelism movement and mission movement that saves the sick throughout the whole world.
In fundamental healing, there are five things—there may be many, but it becomes about three. You must have fundamental power. You must restore the fundamental mission that becomes the greatest blessing. We are not only healed and gain power; we must save people. We must go with a fundamental mission. To the ends of the earth. Hold onto this firmly without a second word.
In fact, the confession of Paul—God’s Word—this alone is enough. It is enough, but because what comes is certain, you must hold onto it.
There are doctors and scientists here; I am not teaching them. I am speaking of evidence.
Isn’t that so? Our life is in breathing; our life is in prayer. Elderly people must do it without fail. You must not let go of the line.
About five things—at this time, invisible spiritual healing takes place. What does that mean? Satan’s 12 strategies are broken. From this point, speech becomes the gospel. People do not really know the gospel. Gospel healing takes place. The strategies of Satan that destroy the church—those five things are broken.
You know Satan’s strategies to destroy the church, right? Atmosphere over the Word. That is Satan’s first strategy. Atmosphere. No matter what atmosphere, you must never change the Word.
That is why church leaders came and what did Apostle Peter say? “The church atmosphere is…” What is it? They were making much talk about eating at Cornelius’ house. Does that make sense? You must not become such a church leader. The lampstand will be moved. It was moved to Antioch.
Even pastors, apostles—because they do not know the gospel—do not really know. They come to the Gentile region where Paul is faithfully serving and say, “You still must keep the Jewish law.”
Was Peter crazy—why would he do that? Public opinion. People—public opinion over truth. Atmosphere over the Word—this can never be fixed. You must hold firmly to God’s covenant only.
Even—what happens? As people age, if they do not realize it, only stubbornness remains. That is what 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 calls Satan’s stronghold, a fortress.
And worldly things become more pleasant—that is inevitable. So they serve the god of this world, Satan. Then material things become more appealing—because they have none. John 16—they are serving the ruler of this world. It is not speaking of an earthly king; it is speaking of Satan. This collapses completely.
From this point, invisible spiritual roots begin to be healed—what is healed? Prayer healing takes place. Prayer begins to work. There is no greater power than this. Whether you live is fine, whether you die is fine, whether you are sick is fine—this prayer continues to be enjoyed, and the root is healed.
Yes, and while doing that, you must listen to doctors, right? Not listening to doctors and saying, “I have faith”—that is not faith. That is fanaticism. You must do these five things.
You must heal the root of the body. There are three: exercise, food, and breathing. You must do them because they revive the root.
I exercise once every hour. Why? I have no time to go exercise. You must not set a place. That is what people with lots of time do. You must not set a place. You must not even set a time. That is what people with lots of time do. I do not have that time. Just do it—every hour. Squats and push-ups—two are enough. Try it. The body comes alive.
As for food, you know it better. I said it in the last message, but women must do food well. Isn’t garlic the number one anti-cancer food? Koreans eat the most garlic. They eat so much that Japanese say it smells. But cancer is number one. Why is that? Because of eating wrong. The moment you peel garlic, all its nutrients disappear. The moment you put it in the refrigerator, within a day, other toxins come out. I am giving one example. You kept eating toxins. So you get sick.
Life healing. You must be happy 24 and pray 24. This becomes healing. No matter what happens, we are okay 24. We enjoy 24. After a little while, the kingdom of God comes. Then an eternal masterpiece is made. This is fundamental healing.
Even if you just enjoy one of the five and hold the line fundamentally, that is enough.
Ask the doctors. Those here who are over 50—everyone is like that—your brain cells are breaking tremendously. They are breaking. As you age, your brain cells break. As you age, you keep saying nonsense. If you keep saying nonsense, even your children become worried. Then they keep stopping you: “Don’t do it. Don’t do it in case you make a mistake.” That is what happens.
But Moses, who prayed, did God’s work exactly as it was until he became 120—his eyes did not grow dim. That is the standard.
Now, three things come out here. By the power of the throne, a masterpiece is made, and a WITH–Immanuel–Oneness system is established within me. This is what Paul said. No one understands it. Fundamental power rises. A system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation is formed. A system in which God is always with me is formed.
From this point, illness disappears. It is not that I cast out demons; I go in, and they kneel. This comes out. It is true.
Then from this point, what comes? Jesus said: Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Because of you, the church is healed and gains strength. Judea religion cannot receive salvation. Religion is healed. Samaria is heresy. That is healed. To the ends of the earth—that was Rome for Paul. It was Spain, but the goal was Rome. You come to live with this fundamental mission.
Until it becomes a habit, do not worry about those who are sick; entrust everything to God, hold onto the two lines. Experience it—enter to the point where you forget your pain. God will reveal to you tremendous secrets and revelations that others cannot see. God gives grace so that you can do world evangelization.
You must fight.
If I speak too complexly, it is hard to understand, so I will conclude. Why did Jesus spend three years with the disciples? What is called living together in training means they were with Christ. Why? It means: do the same thing as when Jesus resurrected and was with them—though not seen, He was present. It is important.
Then what did Jesus do? Mark 1:35—at dawn, very early, He went to a solitary place. I absolutely hold onto 7·7·7 and these two lines, and in the morning I restore everything. Of course I also exercise. I restore everything.
The morning standard is not a certain hour. From the moment you open your eyes until you begin work is morning.
If we were to do live-in training with me, I would say: do this in the morning. In the morning, we do not talk. We keep restoring. I usually turn off my phone, but in the morning I do not turn it off completely.
Jesus actually showed and actually did tremendous prayer from very early dawn into the morning time. Do not set a time—start when you open your eyes. If you open your eyes late, do it late, and restore all strength as comfortably as possible. Restore all happiness. Simply put, enter into this position.
Each morning, will you be healed or not? Whether you are healed or not is not the issue. Each morning, it is not that you are worrying about your spiritual state; you enter your spiritual state into this. I enter this stage every morning. I do not speak.
Even when I ride in the car, I do not speak inside the car. Even the secretary and driver who accompany me know it and do not speak.
During the three years of Jesus’ public ministry, He was with all things. What is this? In the daytime, it is prayer of conversation with God in the heart, with all things. While truly praying, as I said earlier, look at the people around you. While truly praying, look at the elders—more important to me than members of parliament. It is viewing all events together with Christ. Jesus taught that. Then everything is completely different. Your way of seeing changes, and later your answers also change.
Especially, during the day there is worship, right? On Sundays, during worship, during all-night prayer—cry out and pray. It has tremendous effect. Crying out in prayer revives the brain and revives everything. When you pray during praise, cry out—it is very important.
In the past, there were occasionally servants who did great works of power. What was their characteristic? Their throats were all hoarse. One hundred percent, their throats were hoarse. They prayed so loudly. Power appeared. If they had known breathing, their throats would not have become hoarse.
Jesus, when the disciples were sleeping, went out at night to pray. The disciples were dozing. At night, you fall asleep holding all answers in the Word.
This is the daily schedule Jesus showed during three years of public ministry. You should do the same. One day, tremendous evidence will come to you. It is certain. Especially, we must do healing ministry.
This may be a little apologetic to say, but among the 5,000 tribes, 100% have physical disease. One hundred percent. As I said before, children of the 5,000 tribes do not even have shoes. Of course they do not brush their teeth well. They do not wash their faces well. It was like when our country first began to clean. What will happen? There is not much water either.
The 5,000 tribes are serious. They all fall into superstition and strange things. There are so many places we must go and deliver this gospel. Therefore, you must receive assurance regarding healing.
Jesus said it. “In My name they will cast out demons.” “In My name, if they lay hands on the sick, they will recover.” “I will be with you always, even to the end of the age.”
What is more important? The Counselor—the Holy Spirit with you. Invisible. He will make you understand all things. He will remind you of what was taught. He will bestow power upon you.
Yes. Hold onto it now—the line. You will keep forgetting. Then hold onto it again. Later, you will not be able not to do it.
Simply put, you are thinking all the time. Do the practice of turning that into prayer. It is not difficult. You are breathing. You are breathing, but you must become aware of your breathing. Just pray like this. Then tremendous health will come to you.
This is absolutely not something I made up. It is testified in the Bible, and it is testified by science.
Tonight, intentionally cry out in prayer a little. Intentionally pray out loud. That is what worship is. And as a principle, when you come to church, you must have a place where your personal self is not seen by others, and where you can safely cry out and pray.
When studying a foreign language, you must speak loudly; if you do not speak out loud, it is never imprinted in the brain. It is the same science.
Tonight, cry out to God about anything. “Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will show you great and hidden things you do not know.”
Tonight, as we pray together with Pastor Hwang, truly pray once. I hope it becomes the best night.
I will pray. God, we give thanks. Let us restore what Paul enjoyed today. Let us restore what Christ has given. Let us become those who bear the mission of healing the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
