2025 New Year’s Prayer Meeting Worship Service, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Psalm 119:105
Thank you. For over 30 years, by God’s grace, we are doing world evangelization. Of course, it must be thanks to the prayers of our covenant-holding church leaders and elders. Also, the prayers of many of our deaconesses and our deacons, without being noticed, are becoming strength. Because many assistant ministers have devoted themselves in various places without being noticed, we are now doing world evangelization.
Because the permit for temple construction did not come out for a long time, I continued 24 prayer over it. This was the answer given then. It was the three courtyards. “That’s right. We had not found this covenant.” So from the time we held onto that covenant, many answers, including the permit, began to come.
In the meantime, since it is something to be thankful for, since you must pray, as this year passes and the new year comes, when I go overseas, I usually meet people, right? When I meet them, since they are human, I hear many kinds of gossip, these stories and those stories. Since I have to analyze it in my own way, my head often hurts a little. But when I listen to it all and analyze it, in most cases it is not really like that, yet I end up hearing many such stories. For a long time, uniquely, when I go to America, there is someone who tells me only prayer topics. They only talk about holding onto the covenant. They only talk about evangelism. Then I thought, ah, spiritually, we cannot help but be connected. So together we prayed for a long time, saying, “Let’s save the 5,000 tribes.” And thankfully this time, that person expressed the desire to be sent as a missionary who saves the 5,000 tribes. Good. So we decided to go in and we sent them, and thankfully, so that you would have strength, this time you offered about 10 billion Korean Won . Because you must pray. It is not because of money; this is something rare even in Christian history. It is not something done with money gathered in large amounts. They are cutting off their own work and doing it now. So it is God’s amazing timetable. Therefore, many evidences will come in the future. No matter what anyone says, God’s plan cannot be stopped. So probably, starting from here, a tremendous 5,000 tribes movement will actually arise.
But today, everyone, simply, you must hold onto these three lectures this time. Right now, our country is in an extreme confrontation. Right? It is a bit severe. It seems crazy. Now, they are doing that, and when I look at it, it cannot help but be that way. Both sides are crazy. It cannot help it. Hey, what is this. So disasters come, right? Look at places like Muan. A huge accident has exploded. It is disaster. You do not know because you do not realize it, but many of your words, divisions, even families—right? Disaster comes to families. Right? People are extremely like that even in companies, and disaster comes to companies. Is it in the Bible? It is, in Ephesians 4. If you whisper and then flare up, the devil takes a foothold. So in Proverbs 6:2 it says, “You are ensnared by the words of your mouth.” That is right. This tongue is not easily seen, but a big ship is moved by one small rudder. So you must be very careful with speaking. When we speak, it seems like nothing, right? That is because you do not know the spiritual world.
If you listen carefully to soccer commentators, there are people who speak in a really unpleasant way. It does not seem like it affects anything, right? But we keep losing. Some people, when you watch their commentary, there is something like this, you know? Before, a strangely-commentating person got kicked out once, right?
Once, by chance, I watched a boxing match—not because I wanted to, but I happened to see it, and it was a fighter I do not know well. He must be a good fighter. Even now, I remember the name. He is a boxing commentator named Lee Dong-gi. This person was commenting in a very strange way. He was speaking to the broadcast like that. The opponent was very fast, from what I saw. But our fighter was seeing the opponent’s movement in advance and moving. From what I could see, he was a very skilled fighter. He predicted in advance how the other would come out and moved. So what does this Lee Dong-gi say? “Ah, our fighter’s reflexes have dropped a lot,” he says. That is not true. He kept commenting like that. In the end, our fighter won. What did he say? “Yes, he endured well,” he said. Lord…. Even if you talk like that, you must not talk like that. Right?
What is happening in our country is something old. It has come since the Korean War. Our Remnants do not know. We, when we were young, we always saw it and lived. We fought like that every day. “Let’s do communism,” “let’s do democracy,” and we always fought. They are continuing that now.
▣ Introduction
1. The forces of darkness
Because of this, the forces of darkness come upon us.
1) Great powers
Mainly great powers, and especially the nation of Israel with the Jews.
2) Politicians
Simply put, the politicians of our country.
3) Public opinion
Such people, and then many kinds of public opinion as well.
4) Satan
Satan works like this, and they fall into the forces of darkness.
2. The forces of light
At this time in our country, what happened back then? The forces of light appeared. It was not something politicians did. At that time, missionaries had already entered our country. And while doing so, they did three tremendous and important things. Before doing that, they informed the whole world about the injustice that happened in Korea. And then they did three important things. This is how light came upon our country. Now, what is this light?
1) Genesis 1:3
It is the light of creation. When the light of creation shines in darkness, it cannot help but be overcome.
The elders here who are a bit older will know. How poor our country was—unimaginably poor. It was so difficult that you would eat dinner and worry about tomorrow morning. So when people met, they greeted each other by asking, “Have you eaten?” Even now, that greeting habit remains, but in the past, whenever you met, you said, “Have you eaten?” because you could not eat. This country is now standing in the ranks of advanced nations. Why? It is hard to understand. Other countries also do not understand Korea. Politicians like that gather every day, yet the country receives blessing. It is hard to understand. A soldier who participated in the Korean War came and said he was shocked. “How can it develop like this?” Some systems cannot even be compared to America. Korea’s systems are very developed.
2) Isaiah 60:1–2
The light of the LORD that liberates. Just rise and shine.
3) Psalm 119:105
In Psalm 119:105 it says that God’s Word is a light to our feet.
4) John 1:11
And more importantly, in John 1:11 it says Jesus came as the light.
5) Matthew 5:14
So in Matthew 5:14, He tells us, “You are the light of the world.”
3. The three courtyards
Now you must know how this light came. At that time, in our country, the three courtyards came into being. You must remember. The three courtyards came into being, and who was in these courtyards? Completely, multicultural foreign missionaries firmly held onto our country. It is truly fortunate. What did they do? They established schools. Simply put, they did the Remnant movement. Not only that. That Ilsin Women’s Hospital right next to Busan—those were the daughters of missionary Mackenzie who came back sick from going to Vanuatu. They came, and because Korea was so poor, and women were dying while giving birth, and babies were dying too, they established a hospital that enabled women to give birth. While doing that, they began to proclaim the gospel. Our country suddenly began to live. Darkness could not exert its power, and works began in our country to the point of world evangelization. You must believe.
[ The three courtyards ]
So today, the first covenant you must hold onto is the three courtyards. What was discussed even with the team that made the offering pledge? The three courtyards. This is everything. If I do not know this word, I cannot do world evangelization. This word is the courtyard of multicultural people. Right? If missionaries had not come to our country, what would have happened? It would have been a big problem. Even if great powers pressed down, there would be no solution. While we were closing our eyes, the great powers rose and began to trample our country, and foreign missionaries informed the world and left all the 자료. Those 자료 still all exist. If those people had not been there, our country would have been almost ruined. And they built hospitals everywhere and proclaimed the gospel. And they built schools and proclaimed the gospel. Representative universities like Yonsei University and Severance—these are all built and made by missionaries. So they built hospitals, built schools, and the three courtyards. So as you enjoy this blessing, before entering into the main body, what title must you hold today?
[ The three courtyards ] – “Restore the temple of light – My bartizan”
Restore the temple of light. This is it. Restore the temple that has the three courtyards. In order to do this, it is to change my bartizan. You must receive the important answer in advance here and enter in.
Now, it will not be long. You must hold firmly to the covenant you must hold. In order for you to enjoy this amazing blessing, what prayer must begin?
[ The one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, the one who will leave behind ]
The prayer of the one left. You will not die. The prayer of the one who remains. The prayer of the one who will remain. The prayer of the one who will leave behind. A moment ago, our assistant ministers greeted and said such things. You are important. Do not be afraid. You are a model here. There is no one who will recognize you. You must gain this strength. Right? There is no one who will truly help you. You must have this strength, this strength.
[ 24, 25, eternity ]
With this, absolutely do 24. This is prayer. So it is fine if it differs by person. Even if you pray only five minutes with your eyes open, it is the start of 24. Remnants can do only five minutes. Even when you sleep, only five minutes is fine. In the daytime, when something is important, even just a moment is fine. Even then, it becomes 24. In my case, from the moment I open my eyes until I go to deliver the message, I do it. I cannot help it. All day, until I come to deliver the message. If secretaries are next to me and ask, I do not respond well. Why? Because I must do this.
Then, surely, this (25) is seen. This is prayer. Because this is prayer, this (eternity) masterpiece will come out through you. So begin to enjoy prayer correctly. “Where should I go to pray?” It is right, but it is not prayer. You must do it anywhere. Right? “Shouldn’t I pray at times like this?” It is a correct statement but a wrong statement. Anywhere is fine. You must find this. Then you have already restored the prayer of the one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, and the one who will leave behind. You do not need to worry at all. He said to wait. 25 comes. Then it is combined within your ministry and a masterpiece comes out.
“I don’t know prayer?” Your prayer is all combined, and world evangelization is happening now. Right? Because your prayer is combined, the world is being moved. If you do not know that, you do not know prayer.
So Muslim fixed-time prayer—things like that are a joke for us. You cannot do it with that. Our assistant ministers who labor—do you understand? You are the main actors here. What, gather in a synagogue? With that kind of prayer, you cannot do world evangelization. You cannot solve spiritual problems. What, go to a temple and bow 108 times. With that kind of thing, nothing happens. Why? We do 24. Do you understand what I mean?
[ John 1:14 Fulfillment of the Word ]
Then surely this comes. This tremendous fulfillment of the Word that establishes the three courtyards takes place. This is the key. The Word is God, and in John 1:14 it says the Word became flesh and came. That means incarnation and salvation and everything, but it means the Word has come upon us. This is the first thing you must remember. The three courtyards.
3. The three courtyards
1) Multicultural
Because of you, multicultural people live. What could be better than this? In our country, first, missionaries were already in the three courtyards. Wasn’t it an era with almost no foreigners? Yet they came then.
2) RT
They established schools, established universities here and there, and they even established middle and high schools and raised the next generation.
3) Healing
So they established hospitals and healed. I heard recently, but Ilsin Hospital—because the two Mackenzie daughters came, there were no beds, people came and died. Those daughters went and asked the U.S. military base. Because Koreans were dying in war, and women died giving birth, babies died, mothers died, they asked for help. They asked, “Give us beds.” “If you have leftover beds used by the U.S. military, give them to us.” So the U.S. soldiers brought those beds and spread them throughout that hospital. This is how our country began.
Then we must open our eyes to what these three courtyards are. Only then is the temple restored. The temple of light is restored.
▣ Main Body
From this point, three things come.
1. Inside me
As you keep doing this prayer, the bartizan of this Word first comes upon me. How does it come?
1) The seven bartizans
Jesus directly said it. Jesus promised that the Triune God would work in us as the seven bartizans by the power of the throne.
2) The journey of the throne
He said to go the journey of the throne with this power.
3) The guidepost of the throne
I will speak about it in the final time, but make it so that guideposts of the throne are established here and there. It will come.
From now on, hidden talents of the 5,000 tribes will come rushing in.
2. Inside the church
This does not end there. Finally, it is established inside our church—through prayer. You only need to prepare like this. You came to our church, and multicultural people obtained this power. Since there is no time, I will give only one example each.
1) Exodus 2:1–10
It is Moses’ mother. Moses’ mother established this (Exodus 2:1–10) bartizan. Unimaginable things happened. Even she did not know. She only did according to the Word, but this is the beginning that overturns the world. This (Exodus 2:1–10) is the power of light. This (Exodus 2:1–10) is the power of God’s Word. There is clear evidence, right? This is what you make inside the church.
2) 2 Kings 6:8–24
And what is it? There are many, but when you set up one Dothan fortress according to 2 Kings 6:8–24, all Remnants began to rise. They won without even fighting Aram.
Even now, you must quickly restore this. 24, 25, eternity. If you are inside this, your health is restored, everything is restored. And an invisible bartizan begins to be established. Now inside the church, Remnants begin to rise. Inside the church, multicultural people begin to rise.
3) Daniel 1:8–9
It is not only that. Wherever you go, like the Babylon Remnant, a healing work arises. It is not that he tried to heal. He just did the errand of God’s Word, and to the other person, a healing work happened. Everyone, you already have this blessing. Because it has already come, the bartizan is formed.
3. In the field
Finally, in your field. If you look at Paul in the field, you can understand most accurately. Since you already know, you must always enjoy.
1) Acts 13, 16, 19
If you look at Paul in Acts 13, 16, and 19, what is the first thing he made? He made the bartizan of the Gentiles. Until he made that, sometimes he did not even move. There is nothing to worry about. If this bartizan is established in your work, will your work succeed or not? You do not need to ask. This bartizan is established in the Remnant’s studies.
2) Acts 13, 16, 19
And what else? In Acts 13, 16, and 19, what appears? The bartizan of healing. He healed diseases that no one could heal. These things appeared.
3) Acts 17, 18, 19 (Rome)
Then in the end, what is it? In Acts 17, 18, and 19, what appears? The synagogue. And then what is the goal? Rome. This is it.
You can simply hold onto the covenant. I am the one left, the one who remains, the one who will remain, and the one who will leave behind. Restore this prayer. Just do it. So in my case, I always say, since you must be healthy, I focus with breathing—others can do it differently. I do it like that.
In 2019, a scholar who received the Nobel Prize said it. He said that because breathing is short and oxygen does not reach even the cells, cancer 반드시 arises. He proved it scientifically. Because it is lacking, cancer forms in the cells. They say everyone’s cancer comes and goes, comes and goes. But because it is lacking, it gets caught and becomes real. So, “That’s right.” So if you do that much, the Remnant’s brain comes alive. I don’t know why you don’t do it. Why don’t you do the breathing God gave? While breathing, do this.
And then you keep entering into prayer. When you pray, keep only this (the seven bartizans, the journey of the throne, the guidepost of the throne). Then it is made inside our church. Then finally what is it? In the field, the three courtyards appear. This is victory.
So from today, from now, you begin. So you must always be within the power of prayer. Do you need some other power? You must be within the power of prayer. Other happiness is not happiness. That is all nonsense. You must be within the happiness of prayer. Nothing else is happiness. And other answers are not answers. It must be the power that comes down from the throne. Enjoy that.
▣ Conclusion
Now, what result happened?
1. Great powers
Unimaginable things happened among great powers. This is the power of light. No one expected it. When they said they were going to offer blood sacrifices, Pharaoh laughed right away. “What blood sacrifice? You still haven’t come to your senses.” He did not even understand. But this overturned Egypt. Wherever they went among great powers. And since they would become captives, “A virgin will conceive and bear a son,” and nothing else works, and His name is Immanuel. Works arose through those who held onto that covenant. It was beyond imagination, beyond imagination.
So perhaps in the future, when you look at Remnants, it will be beyond imagination. “How can such a thing happen?” that is what it will be.
2. Jews
They completely smashed the Jews’ bartizan. It was completely smashed, the Jews.
3. Rome
Is that all? Rome.
In the early days in our country, a missionary who entered to preach the gospel—because it rained, to avoid the rain, he went into a place in the village where, after a funeral, the tools had been gathered and kept. He went in there and rested. That is how unhygienic our country was. He went in there, rested a bit, came out, and became sick. And he died. But when he died, there were no missionaries, right? After a few years, his wife came as a missionary. “I will do this gospel movement in Korea.”
Some missionaries came as single women, but they could not overcome Korea’s endemic soil diseases. They became sick and died. There were missionaries who died in their twenties. Those people commonly left the same words. They left words when they died. It looked like a casual statement, but they all said the same thing: “Korea is a nation that will receive God’s blessing, and Korea will do world evangelization in the future.” I thought it was just words of comfort. Look now. Korea has received the blessing of doing world evangelization. Yes, we cannot help but enter the ranks of advanced nations.
So your small ministries and prayers, because they are light, can save the world. Restore this prayer. In the second lecture, I will speak a bit differently again. This time, I will speak only about what you must restore.
I will pray.
Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let us enjoy God’s power 24. Let us become God’s watchmen whom the LORD blesses without rest. Let us possess the power of light that gains new strength. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
