20. Nov. 2025 Addiction Prevention Committed Worker’s Conference
Theme: 『 Fundamental Healing, Fundamental Power, Fundamental (Com-)Mission
Lecture 02: 『 Fundamental Power, Fundamental [Com-]Mission, Fundamental Prevention 』 (Acts 1:8) 』 (Acts 1:8)
Lecture 2
Introduction
Lecture 1 was about root-level healing. If you understand this part, even addicts have no great reason to be discouraged. You are not the only ones with problems — diseases alone number over 10,000 kinds. In fact, there are many people who are not addicts but cause far worse problems. All of those reasons are rooted at the source. So among the root-level healings, the three beginnings mentioned earlier — those are extremely important. Without them, the brain will become progressively worse, and all the struggling will be in vain. What then of the state of our souls, which cannot be seen?
So today in Lecture 2 we will cover three things. Since you already have all the messages organized, I will just talk about the keys. In the end, starting from that beginning, one must obtain this “root-level strength.” Because our own strength is insufficient, root-level strength is needed. And for these people, it does not end there — a “root-level calling” must be planted within them. When we share the gospel, sometimes we share because we have received great answers, but there are also times when we share even when we have not — and in those moments we receive grace together as well. When our addicts gather a little strength and are transformed into people of calling, yet another work begins. And there is “root-level prevention.” The Bible reference for all of this is Acts 1:8.
Introduction — So in order to help people obtain this root-level strength, there are a few things to keep in mind here.
1) Becoming Unnecessary
Why is this strength needed? So that the problem within me becomes unnecessary. Things need to progress to that state. It is not that I want it and enjoy it — I simply cannot stop it. So I am only enduring it; it is exhausting for me. That is why nothing but this root-level strength will do.
2) Making It Irrelevant
This thing and I must become unrelated. That is what this strength is about. This seems like a very difficult thing to say, but in reality it is a simple matter, is it not? When God’s power comes upon me one day, this thing becomes unnecessary to me. In Busan there is a person who, when waking up in the morning, has to drink five bottles of soju before words can come out. A complete addict. He says that unless he wakes up and drinks five bottles first, his hands and feet tremble and he cannot move. What must the rest of his day be like? One day, the gospel was witnessed to this person, and he quit. The person was completely transformed. Is that not impossible apart from the true power of God? Usually in such cases, after a few years things go strange again — but this person has been living faithfully in faith until now. It has been several decades since that transformation happened for that person. It has been 15 to 20 years. He is still living faithfully in faith. And when he later moved to a different area, I saw that he was attending a church in that region that holds darakbang meetings. It became irrelevant to him. This is impossible apart from the root-level strength that God gives.
3) Being Able to Live With It (Alone)
Also, for those who are struggling greatly with this right now, what they absolutely must not do is be discouraged — and that is because they can live with it. Even though I am tormented by this problem, because God’s absolute plan and absolute power are needed for me, I will not be discouraged and must begin the root-level solution.
Main — The Reason (The Field, Reality)
There is something that must be understood here. All that is needed is to know the reason. I said this to a mentally ill patient: “You will never be healed.” How devastating would that be? “You will never be healed — but if you know the reason, you will be healed.” Right? This is a simple statement, but in reality it governs everything.
1. No to Satan — The Absolute Bartizan
This is the first point. Even now, a bartizan is being built within us. That is the problem. What do you think? This is what both addicts and people of calling need to understand. Why is it that believers who faithfully attend church still fall into temptation and fail? What is it? If you cannot catch that, you cannot live a faithful life. What is it? They are continually building a bartizan that does not work. And when they go to church, even more of it gets built. If you see this with spiritual eyes open, this is no ordinary problem, is it? When you go to church, even more non-functioning bartizans get built. Hearing this person and that person talk, seeing situations, things become even stranger. So the reason I came to receive some of God’s answers is that — though I love and respect my parents most — I quickly reached the conclusion that reaching the world with the gospel was not possible at the level of my parents. Right? This might sound a little arrogant, but I went through many pastors and churches. The truth is that I came to where I am today because of them. But I caught early on that at their level, worldwide evangelism was absolutely impossible. Even now, bartizans are being built. Mentally ill patients have the bartizan of mental illness already built, and when they go home, yet another is built because of the home environment. Right? So there is only one path. Because this is Satan’s bartizan, an absolute bartizan that breaks it must be erected.
Rather than how this should be done, what matters is that you and the patient come to understand it. You — because of problems in the brain, you have in effect become an addict, and are doing nothing but continuing to destroy that brain. That is literally what is happening. So I say: when you wake up in the morning, pray with restorative breathing. Turn everything into prayer. This seems like a small thing, but it produces tremendous results. So accept and transcend everything. It will not work otherwise. It is by this paper-thin difference that remarkable things happen. The wording may seem a bit strange, but addicts — please do not be discouraged. God intends to give you root-level strength. And it does not end there — the call is to move forward as people of calling. Whenever possible, I say: make addicts into evangelists — there are many places to go. Make them missionaries and send them to the sick. “But they have not even quit yet?” Even if they have to go and struggle together for a time, if there is a calling, they will quit. We are waiting for this. You need to catch this quickly.
2. No to the World — The Absolute Journey
And even now, we are building a journey. It is a journey built 100% by the world’s methods. Even stepping onto just one path of the absolute journey given by God — not 100% worldly — you will keep moving forward.
3. The Absolute Guidepost (Memorial)
When does the answer come to pass? From the moment the absolute guidepost is established, it begins to work. This absolute guidepost is a set of footprints. It is a memorial. Throughout the Bible, these are erected in several places. I have seen seven of them. And then truly memorial events happen there. You who are people of calling in this age, and you who have had experience with addiction — you are grasping a special grace of God, and from the moment you believe this to be true, the work begins. This part happens when you are alone. Right? The reason you have endured is that you have been receiving this grace little by little. All of this happens entirely in the field. In the field and in reality — so what kind of guidepost are many people actually building? They think that a terrifying amount of money will do it. That has been built as a terrifying guidepost. For some people, when it comes to money, they go strange. Why is that? Because that absolute guidepost has been built. For those in whom that has not been built — those in whom the true absolute guidepost of God has been built — they succeed even when they have nothing. There are wives whose husbands earn a lot but who die in debt, and there are those who put money away even with a husband who earns little. There is nothing that can be done about it. Where does that come from? It comes from here. Without exception. Do not be discouraged at all — you must obtain root-level healing and root-level strength.
Conclusion: The Timetable (Absolute)
What is even more important is that God’s timetable comes. How is it that Jesus spoke one word and Peter spoke one word, and a man with an incurable illness stood up? I have not placed my standard there. No matter how much I look — looking at the Bible, praying — where is the standard? It is God’s timetable. At that moment, it is the lame man sitting at the Beautiful Gate, known throughout the entire world. The whole world knows. People come from the whole world to observe the feasts. He is sitting right there. He is a person whom priests, scribes, and Pharisees could not heal and passed by. This is an event that broke out at a time when they were being told not to speak of Christ. I consider it natural. The miracles Moses performed are not miracles — they are natural, inevitable, the absolute timetable. The work happens on God’s timetable. And because we do not know when it will happen —
Lecture 3
Introduction
When we are all transformed into those who convey this root-level calling, yet another additional work takes place. Right? There are three things to remember here.
1) Obsession → Focus
Transform your wrong obsession into focus.
2) Fragmentation → Oneness
Our fragmented hearts and thoughts — fragmentation is nothing else. It is the fragmentation of heart and thought. Make this into oneness. When this happens, important things take place.
3) Addiction → Work of Art
Our addiction, in a positive sense, also means that we focused tremendously. Make this into a work of art. In Europe, there are many among the mentally ill who have created works of art. We must look at the root-level things and begin from now. Later, when you truly receive the strength that God gives — what is it to be filled with the Holy Spirit? This thing becomes irrelevant. Is that really true? Historically, it has proven to be true. Right? Biblically, it has proven to be true.
Main — So then, what is the part that you need to understand as the key here…
1. The Past → Springboard (Destiny) (Healing Ministry Worker)
We make our past into a springboard. Through this, destiny is changed. Without this, destiny does not change. Soaking in my past, I must completely overturn my past into a springboard. So one must prepare all the way to this point. One must be made into a healing ministry worker. That person can help patients better than anyone else. For example, a shaman who has returned — that person is the fastest at evangelizing other shamans. The spiritual principle is the same. Does that mean a person who has returned from shamanism is completely healed? That may not be the case. But when this person goes out as a ministry worker, they are confronted once again with their own past wretched state.
2. Liberation (The Field of Darkness)
And they must be liberated. To liberate them, the entire field of darkness must be shown to them realistically. At that moment of showing the field of darkness realistically, they are shocked. Do you know why I am saying this? Apart from the people here with us, there is one thought that is inside most addicts. Unable to see this clearly, they think: “Everyone else is doing it, so why am I the only one who can’t? Plenty of people do it outside, and even great people do it, right? And there are many who have made money doing it. If you go overseas, there are enormous market organizations for drugs — it’s impressive.” This kind of thinking is inside them. Why do young people become gangsters? It may partly be because they are so spiritually troubled, but what has entered the root is not that. What is it? They consider it to be something impressive. They do not say it out loud. They think of it with great pride. When they meet a famous gangster, they show great respect. One should not respect them, right? But they show great respect. They envy them. That is what is imprinted first. In reality, though they do not say so — that is why, among the children who are raised in those gangs and organizations, committing something heinous means a promotion in rank. What happens then? And the incidents those children cause — where do they break out? There is a world that those kinds of police officers do not know about, that ordinary people do not know about. It exists. And so in our society, having a long criminal record puts you at a great disadvantage — but in the gangster world, having more of that makes you a “senior.” The people who have fallen into drugs now need to see these horrific things. Only then will the people of calling think: “I cannot do this, I really need to pray, I need to go save that person.” In the end, they die miserably, right? I actually asked someone severely addicted to drugs: what is the hardest stage? They said they can see demons. Literally, actual demons are dragging and controlling them — and in reality, once it reaches that point, it is over. In the midst of all this, if you have decided to do this ministry, you must have absolutely no other motivation. These people must be saved. In the midst of that, our performers doing a musical about drugs and sharing it with others — there is nothing wrong with any of it. The very act of showing is what matters. Right? What I am saying is tremendously important. “This is serious — this is truly why God has called me” — it must come to this.
3. Shock → Deep Emotion (Fact)
And then what? In the past, there were wounds or shocks. Because spiritual problems came, they were easily exposed to drugs. But within all of this, the great deep emotion that God gives must be seen. You can do this with materials as much as you want. What can you use? Use facts. When I spoke about breathing, an actual scientist came and showed me scientific data. Actual data. So what comes to me? Conviction. “What an enormous spiritual fact this is — that is why we pray.” It is being formed within us without us even knowing.
Conclusion: Special Time
So you are doing well yourselves, but there is a need to set aside a special time and refer to this series of lectures. Just realizing “I need root-level healing” is enough. “Nothing but this strength will do for me.” And “Why did I end up this way — the final calling I have is this” — it must come to this point. When will I be healed? That comes after.
1) Gathering (Acts 1:3, Acts 1:14)
What kind of gathering is needed? Do what Jesus did. He spent 40 days explaining the matters of the Kingdom of God. What is even more important is that they grasped that covenant and devoted themselves to prayer — knowing this now, why then are pastors needed?
2) Worship (Acts 2:1-13, 2:42)
This must also be expressed in worship. In worship, a time is created for receiving root-level healing, strength, and calling. And so these things began to break out. From this point on, the Word begins to work alive within me. Following the apostles’ teaching — it is not just “the Word.” It is the Word working alive. Not just “prayer.” It is prayer working alive. Not just “witness” or “evangelism.” It is testimony working alive.
3) The Individual (Acts 2:17-18, 2:46-47)
Then what happens for the individual? At last, important things become visible. Dreams, visions, many visions are seen, and the future becomes visible. When this happens, that is enough.
Whether I am healed or not healed — the Word continues to work and move before that, so what God desires is not healing first. Right? He says to grasp His things first. You may be frustrated and want to be healed quickly, but that is not what God wants. I say to the sick: “Your healing is not the issue. In any case, you have to go to heaven once. Right? In the end, that is not the problem. You must first become a child of God. If you are not even a child of God, who are you going to pray to? Become a child of God, understand what the gospel is, understand what the power of the gospel is, and then pray.” This must be done without fail. Your calling is great and vast.
Lecture 4
Introduction
So then, what conclusion do we reach? The greatest healing within healing is prevention. I will explain briefly. This may sound strange, but only you can do it. Why? This may sound a bit grating, but I will speak plainly.
1) Satan’s Disease
Satan’s disease must be blocked. This is Satan’s disease. It must be blocked in advance.
2) The Brain’s Disease
What is this? In the end, it is a disease of the brain.
3) The Mind’s Disease
And in the end, what is it? It is a mental disease. The cause is not drugs — it is mental disease. In that case, your ministry is even more important. The most important thing is prevention.
Main — This must be made full-scale.
1. Shaman
I was in my fourth year of university. Because I was preparing for evangelism during my university years, I spent six months studying shamanism. The reason was that one professor chose it as a subject for a lecture. As I attended the lectures, I found it to be of complete help in my evangelism preparation. It was tremendously, tremendously helpful. The lecture ended. Because I came to university somewhat late, I always sit in the front row, but I generally do not ask questions. After the class, at the end of the session, a male student and a female student had apparently conspired together and were attacking the professor. The subject was Oriental studies. The male student who was attacking said: “Professor, we enrolled in this course because we heard it was Oriental studies — what kind of Oriental studies is this?” Then a female student said: “What is this, it is all about shamans — how is this Oriental studies?” The professor was so flustered in giving a response, saying that Oriental studies is broad and vast, and within Oriental studies he had chosen this particular topic. At that point I spoke up. I raised my hand and said it had been most helpful for my evangelism work. I will not mention their names, but those friends later set fire to the American Cultural Center. There is an age at which one becomes a shaman. Statistics have emerged.
1) Adolescence
2) After Marriage
3) Menopause
It is during adolescence that the possibility of becoming a shaman is greatest. After marriage and during menopause — that is what the data showed. The reason I am saying this is that these are the times when people are most easily exposed to drugs. The highest rate falls during adolescence. Prevention must be carried out. Do not do it casually — it must be made full-scale. With that alone, God is pleased.
2. Normalization
What is even more serious is that this is becoming normalized. Even in our country, which handles things quite strictly, it is becoming normalized.
3. The Future — Hell on Earth
What you must carry even more in your hearts is the future. Going forward, the entire earth will become hell because of drugs. We have not even gone to hell yet, and it is already hell.
Conclusion: Early Education
Therefore early education must absolutely be implemented. If you do not speak to your children about this, they will inevitably encounter it at least once.
1) Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Not only for the sake of drugs alone, but look at Deuteronomy 6:4-9. The facts that have existed until now — to your children, to put it precisely — imprint them.
2) 1 Samuel 7:1-15
1 Samuel 7:1-15, as you know, is the Mizpah movement. The target is the next generation. Right? A tremendous imprinting was carried out.
3) 2 Kings 6:8-24
As you well know, this is the Dothan movement. The target here is the entire population, but that is not the only one. There, the next generation is being raised.
4) Daniel 1:8-9
Among the next generation, one emerged who had understood Isaiah’s message. This now produces a work so great that even the person themselves does not realize it. You simply taught them the gospel, and the next generation hears it and a work happens that even they themselves do not know. No one could have imagined that Babylon would be completely overturned.
5) Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
So Paul went into the synagogues. That was the target. Healing the nephilim is also a target, but that is not the goal — it is the process. This is the goal. He went into the synagogues and taught what worship is, what prayer is. He taught who Christ is. And so when our next generation’s eyes are opened — “Ah, I see” — and because various approaches will continue to emerge going forward, we must without fail speak to the next generation.
And on top of that, as I mentioned in Lecture 1 — in a state that is spiritually dead, in a state where the brain is already damaged, this craftily penetrating strategy takes hold. It is now spreading completely. At this point, those who do not carry the root-level answer can offer only a degree of help to them. It is not real help. There are many people who gather the mentally ill and patients together and run businesses. So from now on, none of you should ever engage in anything like a business. Do only this healing ministry. Do only this. Then you will survive forever.
Today was an extremely important and good day for you and for me. How do you actually handle these people in practice? You know that better than I do. When urgent situations arise, what should you do? The hospital knows that better than we do. What we are saying is not that those things are wrong. Unless this root-level healing, strength, and calling is planted, problems will come upon this earth. Let us pray.
Prayer. We give thanks to God. May God receive glory. Please let us bring life in this age of darkness. Please let us rescue in this age of disaster. Please let us bring life in this age of drugs. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
