Scripture Reading: 2 Corinthians 10:4-5
First of all, what is most important for a new family? They may have various personal circumstances, but the most important thing for a new family is to change their imprint. Nothing is more important than this. The same goes for you—your imprint must change. What is imprinted takes root, and as much as it takes root, destiny changes and it becomes your nature.
▣ Introduction – therefore, for a new family there are three things that must be confirmed.
1. Satan’s bartizan
Because there most certainly is this unseen bartizan of Satan. If you don’t teach this, it’s absolutely not okay. You, too, don’t know and keep worrying. If hardship came to you, a blessing has come. Why? Because the remaining hardships are not needed. I told the North Korean defectors today: “Because you suffered and crossed over, now the suffering is over. There’s a saying that if you’re cursed a lot, you live long,” right? What does that mean? You’ve already received all the curses. What people throw at you is a curse—so it’s over. This is what Jesus said: prayer done to be seen by people will have no answer now—why? Because people saw it; that is your answer. Right? If I served to be seen by people, there is no blessing—why? Because people saw it. Right? That’s the answer, because that was the purpose. This bartizan of Satan desires the ruin of many new families. God desires to bless. You must change the thinking of the new family.
(1) Me (12 strategies) – Satan used what is called “me” and employed 12 strategies. We are not “me.” It is God with us—that’s it. From now on it’s not “for me,” but “for God.” You must change this. If you don’t, one day when something strange comes, you will collapse. Remember this.
(2) John 8:44 – “You are of your father the devil.” You must make them remember that this is where it all came from and that people end up doing what he tells them.
(3) John 16:11–14 – This Satan appears to be greatly powerful, reigning like a king. Jesus Himself explained this.
(4) 2 Corinthians 4:4–5 – The “god of this world” who seems to rule the world entirely; when people face trouble, they go fortune-telling and such. They feel they have nowhere else to go.
(5) 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 – To utterly destroy, he didn’t only build a bartizan but built a fortress. We have been saved out of this. Therefore, with this we must build a new bartizan. We must build it. This is what must be taught.
2. People’s words
And what else? You must be sure to tell them this: take people’s words only as reference; they never truly help. If you don’t teach this to a new family, it’s a big problem. If you live your walk of faith listening to people’s words, you’re in trouble. You must hear God’s Word. People’s words are almost right yet wrong. Why? You must teach this.
(1) Jewish Christianity/Matthew 12:26–30/Matthew 12:43–45 – Jewish Christianity, the Pharisees—churches are still filled with this even today. Right? They even use the same vocabulary as the Pharisees. How can a new family know this? So they end up imitating it. Then what happens? Jesus spoke directly to the Jews: “Satan has built a bartizan in your house—within you.” Driven by that demon, things get harder day by day.
(2) Peter’s team/Galatians 2:11–20 – Peter’s team that limits the power of the gospel—tell them about this. Galatians 2:11–20. Therefore, don’t listen to people’s words. Listen to God’s Word. Then answers quickly come to a new family. Works arise. Healing begins, and the problem is not the new believer but the old believer. Right?
(3) The Roman church/John 16:11–14 – The Roman church that has become completely secularized. Why mention these three? Because they still exist today. They still exercise church power like worldly kings.
3. Worldly believers
And you must surely inform a new believer of this: the majority are fleshly believers—money, position, these things. Pastors, too, must not pay too much attention to money and such. Someone once tried to talk money with me—let’s wait and see. Let’s dig into that. I’m not someone who pays attention to such things. There are many fleshly believers.
(1) Spiritual state (Tower of Babel team) – What do you think their spiritual state is like? So even though they look like they’re working hard in church, there are those who say, “We… we…” That’s the Tower of Babel team. Isn’t that the very phrase the Babel team used? “Let us… let us make a name for ourselves.” Many such believers exist. Those believers, when they clash with the pastor, they say to the pastor, “We…!” and oppose him. If a new family meets such a believer, will they remain? I’m probably not wrong here.
(2) Spiritual beings – They know nothing about spiritual beings. So they think, “Having money is better; the Holy Spirit has no value.” Right? “If I have money, I can buy bread. With the Holy Spirit I can’t buy bread.” That’s a fleshly believer. Right?
(3) Spiritual problems – Therefore, their spiritual problems are not resolved.
You must warn them. A new family must be led to receive answers.
So, if a new family meets you and in a short time changes to the point of bringing others through evangelism, you taught them properly. Right? Two young women from the Samhwa dorm came—I called them every Sunday and proclaimed the gospel, though I had no time. These girls raised hundreds of disciples. Not merely “members,” but disciples. I didn’t do it; they did. In the Philippines I met a lady—she was a disciple from that time. I didn’t remember her, so she must not have been a disciple who was right beside me (I would remember those). She was teaching children there and running a mission home—that’s the start of church revival. Church members receive grace themselves, then evangelize others; that person then evangelizes others—this is how it goes. You must do this for a new family. Absolutely. You must change this bartizan.
▣ Main – then what is the very first part we must do?
1. Healing of the soul – “24 bartizan”
The very first thing for a new family is healing of the soul. The answer for healing of the soul is already in the seven bartizans; the way is Christ. For this person, the most important answer is: build the bartizan of 24 prayer. This is the method.
1) Morning – the time to save me
The morning time is the time to save me. Make them take it. The morning time is the time to save me.
(1) Spirit – First, save my spirit and brain—above all, the spirit.
(2) Brain – You must revive the brain. Otherwise, serious problems will come with age.
(3) Body – And save the body. For the elderly: as time goes by, say, “My strength keeps increasing”—let this be your standard. As time goes by, my strength must spring up. Morning time…
2) Day – the time to save people
The day time is the time to save people. Wherever you go, you must save people. This is very important. Those who kill people (with words and actions) and those who save people have different futures. There are those who are remembered forever. Right? When that new family collapses, the one who helps becomes unforgettable. Therefore, as much as possible, seek out those in difficulty. And you must see clearly whether the new family has hardships or not. They never forget it. That is not the time to teach “We…” but “Christ!”
3) Night – the time to obtain answers
At night, it’s neither about me nor about people. It is truly the time to obtain answers from God. This must be taught as “24.” It’s not nonstop praying 24 hours. In the morning, truly the prayer that saves me; in the day, the prayer that saves people; at night, the prayer that receives the answers God gives. You must teach this. How should they do it? They may ask this as well, but once they start, God will teach them.
2. Spiritual power – “25 concentration”
Second: first cultivate spiritual power. Cultivating spiritual power first is called “25 concentration.” This is very important. What is 25 concentration? It doesn’t matter whether in the morning, day, or night in a day, but in my view the morning is best.
1) The Triune God – spirit
The Triune God works as Spirit. Right? This is prayer concentrating on Him.
2) The throne
That the blessing of the throne may come upon me—this is the time the blessing of the throne rests. You must concentrate on this in prayer. I concentrate with breathing—it helps this way and that; health comes; and you can go very deep. Try it. He promised to give power.
3) Past/Present/Future
He has given us power to solve past, present, and future problems.
4) Five powers
From then, the five powers arise. The five powers…
5) Ephesians 2:2
At last comes the power to overcome the ruler of the kingdom of the air in Ephesians 2:2.
6) CVDIP
Pray that the power to see the future—CVDIP—will rest on you, since He said to go to the ends of the earth.
7) Three courtyards
Then what next? What blessing must my work, the church, and my life receive? The three courtyards—you must build this blessing.
If you concentrate on these (the seven bartizans) just once a day, what will happen? If once a day you let out a deep sigh, what will happen? If once a day you take a shock, what will happen? If once a day you enter into anxiety, what will happen? Then you will die—strangely at that. Go deep once a day. This is called 25. You must teach this. You must also do it. So taste an answer once. When I prepare a message, I enter deep prayer; then surely God gives the Word—John 16:13—He will make you remember…
3. The bartizan of life – “eternity (300%)”
Third: now finally build the bartizan of life. You must inform the new family of this. This is called “eternity.” We have the timetable of 24/25/eternity. 24 is with me; 25 is what Jesus explained; and this eternal timetable belongs to God. So from now, teach three things. From now, receive the blessing of 300%. Is this possible?
1) Guidance of the Holy Spirit → 100% regarding me
If you only do this, the guidance of the Holy Spirit will come out; therefore you will receive 100% blessing regarding yourself. Right? God’s guidance over you is not 99%—it’s 100%. “I have many hardships”—that means many blessings. Right?
2) Working of the Holy Spirit → 100% in the field
You will go to the field. There, the working of the Holy Spirit arises. This is 100% in the field—because it takes place unseen. You must teach this.
If that new family truly believes, the work begins. During worship you do not chase experiences first—you must have assurance, and you must hold the message you must be assured of. Right? If anything must be experienced, that’s it. Joseph had assurance, didn’t he? To Joshua He said, “Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid”—which means things that cause fear will come. Right? “Do not be afraid, for I am with you”—and He spoke what was certain: “As I was with Moses.” You saw him following Moses. And it’s not “I will give you the land of Canaan,” but “I have given it”—that’s assurance. If, during worship, you clearly receive something—answers will come. Therefore, “believe that you have received what you asked for.” You must explain this. Long ago I understood it this way: “How can I say I’ve received when I haven’t?” “Isn’t that fraud? I didn’t receive…” I once thought some revivalist was a fraud: he prayed and said, “You’re healed; go home now.” “Is he scamming?” One day it dawned on me—Joseph believed and went, and all answers came. Right? Joshua believed, and answers came everywhere he went. Then “believe that you have received.” Then I finally said, “Oh, amen!” The whole Bible is structured that way. Back then I thought that revivalist was a conman—he prayed and, though the person looked normal, said, “Go home; you’re healed.”
3) Fruit of the Holy Spirit → 100% in a sustaining system
It’s 100% in a sustaining system. This is called “the fruit of the Holy Spirit.” You must surely teach this.
▣ Conclusion: God’s bartizan – the watchman
Therefore, if you keep building this bartizan—isn’t this God’s bartizan?—if you build it, you become a watchman. Truly, from now on you are a watchman. Say it plainly.
1. Life (platform) – Then many people will come to me to gain life.
2. Light (watchtower) – Then, because I have the light of Christ, those in darkness will come.
3. Communication (antenna) – I will see another realm I did not know before—the realm that communicates with God and with the throne.
This (life) is called a platform. This (light), because we must shine the light, is called a watchtower. This (communication) is called an antenna.
Applying the seven bartizans (imprint) – Then, when drawing the conclusion, how can we explain these seven bartizans so they imprint well? Because we must imprint them.
1. The Triune God (not visible to the eye)
When you go to a hospital and take an image, your soul does not appear in the image. When you take a photo, your mind does not appear in the photo. Why? Because it’s too important. If my hand hurts a bit, that’s okay; but if the mind is gone, that’s not okay. Right? If I have a slight problem somewhere, it’s manageable; but if the soul departs, you die. In the same way, the Triune God works in us invisibly. Satan also, invisibly, drags you into darkness: “You can’t.” God says, “You can.” Satan says, “You must be ruined.” God says, “You must be blessed.” Right? Satan says, “You’re too ignorant to make it.” God says, “I will be with you.” It’s completely different. All of this most important reality is unseen—this must be taught.
2. The throne (answer)
Then where and by what does true prayer-answer come? This is the answer. Jesus Himself explained the things of the kingdom of God. Jesus Himself said to seek first His kingdom and His righteousness. Jesus called this “prayer.” The one who realized this was Paul. Thus in Tyrannus he boldly explained about the kingdom of God for three months—you must tell them this.
3. Past/Present/Future (destiny)
What do past/present/future mean? A new family may not understand well. Destiny has changed. Right? Destiny has been changed—truly. Destiny changes.
4. Five powers (DNA)
From then, the five powers arise—your spiritual DNA is changed. Our physical DNA doesn’t need to change; the spiritual DNA has changed. The five powers—believe this. You must build the bartizan—God’s bartizan. You must explain this.
5. Ephesians 2:2 (authority)
God has also given you something special—authority. Right? “To all who received Him, who believed in His name, He gave the authority to become children of God.” Jesus spoke this directly: “In My name drive out demons.” You don’t have to go there and kill a sheep. “In My name.” You don’t have to go there and slaughter an ox. “In My name.” “Lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” He said authority has been given to you. “In the name of Jesus Christ.” The secret by which Paul carried out world evangelization—Philippians 3:1–21—“the name by which all things are brought into submission.” Therefore, while prayer is prayer to God, there is also prayer in which you exercise your authority. This is important.
6. CVDIP (future)
If you truly pray, God will surely make you know the future—this is CVDIP.
7. Three courtyards (posterity)
What is even more important? If you pray, the blessing to save the church, save the world, and save the posterity will come—this is the three courtyards. Within the seven bartizans this is the ends of the earth.
Prayer system – Therefore, if you lead a new family so that they can really pray, one day this conclusion will come—you must tell them this: one day, prayer begins to happen by itself. That’s the end point. Until then, do it. One day, if you don’t pray, it feels strange. In a bad term that’s “addiction,” but in a good term it’s a “system.” This is the conclusion a new family must know.
If you first enjoy it yourself, it’s easy to tell others. If I don’t enjoy it but try to tell it, it’s truly hard. “What I have I give you”—you shouldn’t say, “I don’t have it, but…” You must say, “Jesus is the Christ!” Not, “I heard that Jesus is the Christ”—don’t speak with “I-heard-it” rumors. Strange people have lots of “I-heard-it” talk. Not rumor talk. “Jesus is the Christ!” You must make this known. I will pray.
Prayer. We thank You, God. Bless us to save our new families so that they, in turn, may save others. Let it be manifested with the power to save the posterity of all nations. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
