Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8
Among our well-known sayings, there is the story of “Sai-ong loses his horse.”
“Saeng” is the man’s name—the story is the words of Old Man Saeng. This is worth telling to new family members (newcomers). A servant came and said, “Master, a great misfortune has happened.” “What is it?” “The horse ran away from home.” Old Man Saeng replied, “A horse has legs—of course it can go somewhere.” A little later, “A very happy thing has happened.” “What is it?” “The horse came back and brought another one.” “That can happen too; perhaps its owner will come.” Then again, “Now truly a great misfortune has happened.” “What is it?” “Your son fell while riding and injured his leg.” “That can happen too.” “A very good thing has happened. They are conscripting soldiers now, but because your son hurt his leg, he will not have to go to the army.”
What was so good? What was so bad? You must tell this to newcomers. What, really, is the problem? The things you think are hardships—you are actually receiving blessing. You realize it after the fact. Seeing it beforehand is what we call faith. So tell the newcomer that story. What is your real problem? We have to examine that. What Christians think are “problems” are almost never the real problem, right? We keep calling things problems. Because we called what is not a problem a problem, there is no answer. We must untie that knot—truly explain it and untie it. And from now on you must set up guideposts. That is the most important thing. Real answers come out of guideposts.
▣ Introduction – 300% (Work/Evangelism/Missions)
Make everything 300%—your work, and evangelism, and missions; especially the children’s studies. Last week at the university student gathering I told them, “Be sure you prepare this and go out.” This has already been said, hasn’t it? What God has prepared for me—we should, of course, find it. Concerning me: 100%. Surely there is God’s plan in the field: we find that—100%. Then reproduction and continuation must take place—100%…
Pastors must do this. If you set up just a few absolute bartizans like this, the church will be revived by itself—continuously. In Busan, a college student who was from Seoul was studying in Busan. One of our Remnants attended the same school and shared the gospel. He truly received the gospel—he was a prepared person. He kept attending Busan Immanuel Church, graduated, went up to Seoul, became a physician, and registered at Yewon Church—and became an elder there. As it happened, when I was laying on hands, he sat right in front of me. It’s not easy to meet like that, right? How meaningful was it to me! A complete unbeliever in Busan received the gospel and became an elder at Yewon Church. God had prepared it perfectly.
1. Calvary – “It is finished.”
The Calvary guidepost—tell them to enjoy this every day. There is much to say, but: “It is finished. It is finished.”
2. Mt Olive – My mission
The Mt Olive guidepost—this is where you find your very important personal mission. Even if one is a newcomer, it must be found.
3. Mark’s upper room – My prayer
Then they came to Mark’s upper room. What must not be missed here is this: find “my prayer.” How will you enjoy happiness and enjoy power in prayer? We must give this.
4. Antioch – My evangelism and missions
Antioch. From now on, because things are prepared, look for them: my evangelism, my missions. They surely exist, so we should find them. Within this, every answer is fulfilled.
5. Asia – Start of life (100% led by the Holy Spirit)
In Asia (Acts 13:1–4). Because this part is so important, this is always the start of life: to be perfectly led by the Holy Spirit. Do it this way from now on. If you don’t know, then wait. “100% led by the Holy Spirit”—say this.
6. Macedonia – Turning point
Macedonia. So when doors are blocked and things don’t work, don’t give up and don’t flail about. It is a very important time. At such times you will meet turning points in life.
7. Rome – My “ends of the earth”
Be sure to say this. Rome—this guidepost is my ends of the earth. My ends of the earth is Rome.
First help them understand like this. You also must receive this blessing. If you speak of things that are too difficult, newcomers can’t do them. Tell them what they can do, but tell them what is most important. If you set up the guideposts at which you received these answers and then work from there, God’s work will arise because of those people.
▣ Main
1. Change your morning routine.
From now on, change your morning routine. This is very important.
1) Prayer that revives me
Absolutely—prayer that revives me. As said before about “prayer that revives me”…
(1) Brain – The brain that keeps dying is revived.
(2) Spirit – My spirit is revived.
(3) Body – As a result, the body is revived. This must be given.
2) 7/7/7 concentrated prayer
And, of course, the guideposts—keep offering prayer about the 7/7/7. Do it even once—offer one concentrated prayer about these guideposts, even once. Through concentration, everything happens. Concentration has tremendous meaning.
3) Leeway
And in the morning hours, you must find great leeway—margin. Find it. In a sense, it is enjoyment. Explain it simply.
2. Daytime
Daytime.
1) Conversational prayer
In the daytime, offer conversational prayer with God.
2) Work, people, field
About what? All work, all people, and all fields—you meet them, don’t you? Enjoy these through prayer. Everything changes completely.
3) The seven Remnants
That was the prayer of the seven Remnants. Joseph went as a slave and could not go aside somewhere to pray. He began to pray within his work. You need this secret. “How do I do breathing?”—pray within everything. On my flight to Munich this time I watched something about meditation. Early morning—there’s a nice little garden and a chair, and they do it there. That will surely help. But I laughed as I watched. Doing it like that, you cannot conquer the world. We must do 24. It is entirely possible. The seven Remnants did 24. And they received important answers. When sleeping, of course, one can do it comfortably.
3. Nighttime
Nighttime.
1) Answer
At night you must absolutely obtain answers. Don’t just fall asleep. Get the answer—whether through prayer or by praying on the Word of God until assurance comes. I actually pray this prayer a lot: “God, what is the meaning of this Word?” I may know it, but I still pray over it. That is why, to me, “being filled with the Holy Spirit” is this (300%): making everything God has given fully mine. I gain many prayers’ answers through questioning prayer.
2) Strength
You must gain strength at night. A bit of an issue is that sometimes sleep flees.
3) Healing
At night, healing happens.
You must teach this—simply. In the morning, like this; in the day, absolutely like this; at night, like this. As for my own method of concentration: Immanuel Kant concentrated by hiking—every day, at exact times—housewives could tell the time by seeing Kant pass by. That too is tremendous concentration. Edison used fishing—to build his concentration. I do this concentration by breathing. In the morning, a 1:1 ratio—slow inhale and exhale—praying; I still do it now. While interpreting, I inhale and exhale as I speak, doing it comfortably. Do everything with prayer, then give a focused 10 minutes. Do it every day like that. Teach newcomers concretely and simply so they can actually do it.
▣ Conclusion
Then conclude again like this.
1. 24 – Enjoy it
Enjoy 24—enjoy it through prayer.
2. 25 – Take a time of concentration
25—take a time of concentration. Teach it this way.
3. Eternity – Leave a masterpiece
Eternity. From now on, leave the masterpiece of your faith in the church—start from the beginning. David prayed for temple construction from the very beginning. Then history had to arise. These are the three things newcomers must actually enjoy as taught today. Then history will arise because of one person.
Pastors, let me say it again.
Begin to set up the absolute bartizans of 300%. Evangelism cannot fail. History will arise. Do not try to do it by your own strength; begin now entirely by the Spirit’s leading, the Spirit’s work, and the Spirit’s fruit. Then God will give it to you in exquisite ways.
A true disciple is not shaken. If one is shaken, it is a counterfeit. A true disciple does not take offense, right? A true disciple prays for the pastor. A true disciple prays 24 for the pastor. You must surely do so.
If I were a church leader, I would pray 24 for my pastor. I would always give mission offerings to my pastor—sincerely; not just giving, but truly enjoying and receiving blessing. And if I were a church leader, by my temperament, I would build a palace-like house and invite multi-ethnics; I would invite Remnants from the provinces—“Just live here. Don’t do laundry; study. Don’t pay for meals; just eat.” If it were me, I would do so. How good is that! It is raising talent. In those talented ones, you plant the bartizan/journey/guidepost. Will they succeed or not? They will. When they succeed later, “You do the same.” That is world evangelization.
I bless you that this blessing will begin for you in the name of Jesus Christ.
Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ who solved every problem, the great love of God, and the working of the Holy Spirit be with all disciples who will accomplish 300%, from now to eternity, always. Amen.
