Prayer Journal: October 18, 2025
24. Oct. 2024 The 5th World RTS Conference, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 60:20-22
▣ Introduction: The last platform (pastoral ministry)
Because you must save the world, we need to check a few questions. My very first question 37 years ago was why we are caught in poverty, disease, and incompetence. I merely asked that question, and all the answers came. So now we must hold many questions ourselves and give answers. Aren’t most children in a state where they cannot win in the field? You must give answers for this part. The older generation is the same. The older generation are also God’s people, so they are following the Word, but in reality they go out into the world and cannot overcome, and they lack much strength while serving the church—that is their state. On the mission field it is even harder. So you must save those people and help them.
In fact, to speak accurately now, about 70% of churches are in a difficult pastoral state—this is the state of the Korean church. In a sense, it makes no sense. We must quickly escape from it. Even so, Korea is a bit better; in foreign countries it is 90%—they remain entirely in a state of incompetence. Conversely, souls that are thirsty are overflowing outside. And those with spiritual problems are wandering everywhere. A pastor confessed to me: though from a very fine family, a huge spiritual problem came and they were suffering. When I truly heard the details, that family had difficulties beyond words. So they held to the gospel and gained God’s power that brings works to arise. Giving that testimony, he said that for the rest of his life he must do his utmost to guard this gospel. In the coming age it will be serious. As pastors we must ask two big questions: why are churches around the world closing? That is a serious reason. Moreover, we must further ask: the three organizations are rising! These days Buddhism is also rising greatly. From my analysis, the one rising the most now is Buddhism. A tremendous revival is occurring. It is not the answer, and yet people go there, even foreigners gather.
The 5th World RTS Conference, Lecture 2: “The main agents who heal the world”
You are the main agents here (the main agents who heal the world).
Introduction – The last platform (pastoral ministry)
So, in light of this, how can we do this? I will summarize simply. It is Jesus’ last platform. It is the last platform of Christ, who saw even to eternity. This must become our pastoral ministry. Therefore, if you simply hold the covenant well, works will in fact arise.
1) Complete gospel: 7 bartizans (guidance of the Holy Spirit) – 24, editing, fulfillment of the Word
The first 100% that Jesus finally gave was the complete gospel. This is the 7 bartizans. From here, the answers of the complete gospel were all given. Because this is 100%, we must believe 100% and prepare. This is the only thing you must do. Do 24. Then what is pastoral ministry? It is editing this. Editing does not mean I tinker with it this way and that. The standard of editing is until the Word is fulfilled. And already we receive the complete answer.
2) Complete answer: 7 journeys (work of the Holy Spirit) – 25, design, God’s plan
On the last platform Jesus gave the complete answer. As you know, this is the 7 journeys. Because this cannot be done by our strength, we design with 25. If you continue in this, you will see God’s plan. Only this can win. So Jesus’ last platform must become your pastoral ministry.
3) Complete bartizan: 7 guideposts (fruit of the Holy Spirit) – eternity, design, absolute bartizan
And more important is that now the answers begin from here. Not only do you receive answers; you build a complete bartizan. Try establishing just one—if you establish something proper, a tremendous work arises. This is the 7 guideposts. Because this is eternal, it does not disappear. You design this into the church, the region, and the whole world—into the absolute bartizan. When God’s complete bartizan is established as the absolute bartizan, works will continue. Such disciples must gather. Simply put, we must be completely led by the Holy Spirit. Because we are lacking, we must be completely led by the Holy Spirit. Then we follow the complete work of the Holy Spirit. It becomes visible. And with the complete fruit of the Holy Spirit, in this aspect, we save the world—this is what Jesus gave on the last platform.
▣ Main Message – The 7 last opportunities (healing/summit)
So there are about seven things you must absolutely do right now. It applies to you as well, but for them this is the last opportunity. Answers and works are what God does. First, we must hold what God desires most. And even if we are somewhat weak, we must go in the direction God desires most. And whether it will work or not, we must go toward the goal God desires. No matter what anyone says, this is the last platform given by Christ. The world church lost this. Therefore, you must not lose it. God called you for this. Keep this in mind: we must heal seven places. The answer here is not merely healing. Healing is the summit. When one is healed, he becomes a witness. There are seven here.
Think of this as the RTS family’s laptop. Think of it as the handbook you always see. To be precise, it is something you don’t even need to write down—it must always be within prayer. I always have this (Introduction) within prayer. Then amazingly, answers begin to come one by one. The Word God gave is fulfilled on your platform and in the field.
1. Church healing
What is the first thing? We must heal the church and make it the summit. The church currently falls into three types.
1) Jewish style (Matthew 12:26–40)
Almost all are Jewish style. They do everything Jesus said not to do. They do not do what Jesus said to do. Right? In some denominations, even their way of speaking is the same as the Pharisees. Put differently, they call things “heresy,” and their flow is exactly like the Pharisees. It cannot be helped. So we must quickly take care of this. Jesus pierced this boldly—not lightly—these are tremendous words.
2) The limits of the Early Church (Acts 11:1–18)
And now almost all churches have come to the limits of the Early Church. What kind of state is it? It is like this: they spend all their time on useless talk. Almost all do this now. Useless talk, words that have no need—this is it. Does this make sense? In fact, with this, the ministry of the Mark’s Upper Room Church ended. Right? From that time, the Antioch Church appeared. From there, in fact, Peter would not do. Why? Because he did not see any power at all, Paul was placed there. In every pastoral ministry Paul went to, there were many difficulties. The hardest thing was that these people kept hindering. If we are not careful, we will enter into this. Therefore, most believers are within this. I am sorry, but it is so. So when they are in the church, during prayer they don’t do this, but when eating, everyone is in this. That is why meals are important. During ministry things are fine; when drinking coffee, this comes out. When gathered together they do corporate prayer; when two people are together, it comes out. When three gather, a perfect harmony (of this) is formed. Add one more person and it becomes public opinion. Foolishly, everything is snatched away. Everything is being taken. It was so bad that I told an elder, “On Sunday, do nothing and only pray. You must receive the answer.” True church leaders have the qualification to receive this answer. We must heal this.
3) Medieval church (John 16:11–14)
And how is it? It is the medieval church style. We must quickly fix this. We must help them. It was so bad that Jesus prophesied like this: “Satan must be your king.” Does that make sense? It is horrible. These are Jesus’ words. We cannot ignore this.
Churches closing—this is why you must quickly resolve this now. Churches closing—it is a big problem. In a sense, shouldn’t you quickly contact churches that are closing, send word, and make them your branch churches? No—churches that are doing many activities, like Yewon Church or large churches—contact them and say, “We will be your branch church,” and even with just that, pastoral ministry happens quickly. They say, “Just take the people.” Also, by law, they cannot sell or change the church. They say, “Just take it as it is.” This is the current chance.
2. Remnant healing – “A state where they cannot pray”
And the remnants. We must attach two words: healing and summit. Are the remnants sick? You could ask that, but they cannot pray. So we must first have them do that. They cannot do it. If only they can do this, the remnants will undergo a tremendous change.
1) 7 bartizans (imprinting)
Therefore, at this opportunity, imprint the 7 bartizans in the remnants.
2) 7 journeys (rooting)
Do not just have them study; help them study with the 7 journeys, and have them take root there.
3) 7 guideposts (nature)
When they go out into the world, they should not just go; now they must go out prepared 300%—that is the 7 guideposts. These 7 guideposts must become the remnant’s nature.
Talents—so what is the answer that comes from here? True talents come from here. Make the remnants truly discover their talents. Honestly, we do not know our talents well, do we? We come and go. Some talents appear here and there in small ways, don’t they? However, the remnant must hold to life, and talents must come forth through you. If you just help this, they will come forth. If you do not help, someone else must help—and that becomes the problem. A student who was good at studying took the bar exam, but where did the influence come from? From outside—will that person’s spiritual future be okay? He should be within the pastor’s 24 prayer, but he is not. Paul held such a person in 24 prayer. That is the difference. Because Paul always prayed, “you are within 24”—the word he used most was “always in prayer,” meaning he always prayed.
3. Multiethnic healing (TCK)
I will speak briefly. The multiethnic, especially TCKs, must be urgently healed. They are hiding it. We are also hiding it, but they have no reason to reveal it. They have all sorts of scars and difficulties, but they are hiding them. Why must we attach a guardian? So that they can bring these out. They reveal them to someone close, don’t they?
1) 12 strategies
So regardless, they are caught in Satan’s 12 strategies.
2) Culture, religion
People who do not know say this: Japanese culture and Korean culture are different—of course they are. Even the side of the road they drive on differs—left and right—and the steering wheel position is already different. What does that mean? When you go up spiritually, it is the same. They say Japanese eat little, but at the buffet they eat a lot. And what else? They hide everything. What is first imprinted in these multiethnic people, these TCKs? Culture and religion are first imprinted. They are imprinted with this, aren’t they? If you do not help them, it will not work. There is no one to help them. Will someone help just because they attend school in Korea? What aspects of Korean culture are necessary? Not really. You must do this. The first church I went to in Japan was Higashi Omiya Church; that church invited me for a revival. At that time Pastor Jang OO interpreted. It is a bit countryside, yet somewhat developed. I went there and was surprised by several things. Someone received grace and came to me. In the speaker’s waiting room, he came and immediately knelt. Why? He said Japan had done wrong to Korea. There is a park in front. After the meeting, I would return and take a walk in the park. I went to the park and came back, and three hours later I remembered: my wallet with everything in it, which I stuck in my back pocket, I had left it in the restroom. Three hours had passed—I quickly ran back. I was shocked. It was there just as it was. Wow, Japan is astonishing—to the point of amazement. In Korea, someone would already have taken it; people go back and forth in the park. “This is a fearful country.” Yet these people are saturated with this (culture/religion). And they keep repeating what the Peter team of the Early Church said. In reality, they do not understand Korea. Korea is in a hurry, isn’t it? They cannot understand. If you trace it up, Japan’s slowness and Korea’s haste are the same. They must be combined. If you truly know this, it is the same. The six states of the unbeliever—are they not in America? They are even more. The three organizations have made them high-class; while we do shaman rites, they do meditation and go deeper. How do they think? When someone comes from another country, how do they say it? They do not speak straight. If someone asks where they are from, they say, “I am from New York,” “I am from Bangkok.” That’s not it—it’s from a more rural place. They do not say the name of that rural place. You must say that rural place—then it is one of the 5,000 tribes. Likewise, they hide everything of themselves. Will they be healed? Will they become the summit? When they return, they go back to the original state. When they go back, you must have them carry out the gospel movement you taught them.
3) 300%
So as you know, what is the standard mentioned earlier? When you receive this answer, you must make the multiethnic who come to your church like this and then send them. While they are here, have them already prepare for that nation. So I told our overseas missionaries: “Prepare now what you can do in your country—then you do not even need to go.” Right? You can be called. If you are serving as an evangelist or associate pastor somewhere and this is prepared, you do not have to go. In some ways, not going can be better. At first, when Morris said he would go out, I said, “Why not stay?” Staying at Yewon Church is far better. Why? Because we must more quickly be made into this (300%). So the issue is not “I must go,” but whether this (300%) is done or not. If this is not done and you go, what will you do? If you go when even this is not prepared, you cannot give an answer. You must understand this word. Simply put, this is completeness. Why is it complete? Because we are not complete, Christ is complete. It is the promise He gave.
Sending—thus, only when the multiethnic are made like this is there meaning in sending. As I said, sometimes you send yourself, but you also call another disciple and send him. This is better. For example, in your church, or at our Pastor Kim Dong-Gwon’s Dongbu Church, or Yewon Church, well-rooted strong disciples must be called. Teach them properly and send them. What about local churches? Even better. If you bring the 5,000 tribes and have them stay long at Immanuel Seoul Church or Yewon Church, they will be “blown away.” Why? They will be urbanized. When they actually return to their country, they cannot do it. Therefore, the provinces are more needed. If you place them in very quiet, not-so-thriving places, our key is in sending, right? It’s good for me to go, but many must go. It’s pitch dark. There are so many places to preach the gospel—if others must go, we must send them. Because they mostly do not know, we must begin full-scale ministry with regard to this.
4. Pastors and church leaders healing
You understand quickly, so you must surely hold to this and do it. We must heal the pastors and church leaders and make them the summit. Why did I put the two together? Paul always did this. If this (pastor) falls, the church leader is practically as good as dead. The second message to a church leader is that he must be a pastor. Right? The second thing a church leader must realize about his calling is that he must be a pastor. If you understand this word, you will understand the couple Priscilla and Aquila. If this is understood, you will understand Gaius. The pastor must hold these people in 24 prayer. By nature we do not do 24, so we cannot; yet only someone who does 24 can do this. Then the person named Paul is understood.
1) 237 – 5,000 tribes
Why is that? There are pastors of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. They do not even study theology. I was shocked. Almost all did not. When I asked how they became pastors, there were reasons. But most do not study.
2) Ignorance of evangelism
They hardly know evangelism. It is pitch dark. It is a situation where your one word can suffice. Therefore, God needs you, and because you cannot spend time flying around, you must now quickly call them. At the University of Arizona they gathered one hundred million people worldwide, didn’t they? No—the students recruited one hundred million. If they promise to grant a degree, who wouldn’t do it? When an American university says it will grant a degree, a hundred million joined. This is the age. Now the meaning of going and coming does not matter. What is the content? It must be this. Therefore, you must quickly organize your ministry and find the answer. Only when the remnants are made like this can their talents be found.
3) Churches that will close
Especially now, though it is already late, what is more urgent are the churches that will close. Consider closed churches done for; as for churches that will close, at this time church leaders around the world must join, and pastors must join, to save them. Why is this correct? The New York Times announced earlier that by 2030, 30% of current American churches will disappear. That is serious, isn’t it?
Culture of darkness
5. Healing of diseases
Fifth, you must now give the most necessary message. You can give it as messages. The fifth ministry that must be given as a message is healing of diseases—healing of diseases and summit. Medical help must be medical, scientific; but three things suffice.
1) Brain, spirit, body
Heal the brain. Heal the spirit, and heal the body. Only a pastor can do this. Therefore, you have responsibility. Even for someone with cancer, if these three are not healed, the cancer is, in fact, not healed. You understand, right? Doctors have no responsibility for the past. They have no responsibility for the future either.
2) Fundamental (past/present/future)
Doctors cannot do this—what is fundamental. How can they know the fundamental? They simply went to university and became doctors; even what they studied medically and scientifically is a vast quantity. Now on top of that, there is the new knowledge that keeps circulating—just that alone gives them much work. And the hospital is not just a hospital; these days it is machines. Even at Asan Medical Center there are many machines—latest machines. Therefore, these people cannot know these aspects. Especially, what do they not know? The past/present/future. They cannot fix that. But even if you do not know, you can fix it, can’t you? Why? Because it is all in the Word. Moreover, when you catch hold of a sick person, it is a chance. Why? Because since they are in pain, they are ready to listen to anything.
3) Personalization
So do we heal diseases? You may ask this. What does this mean, then? What does breathing prayer mean? Why is diet so important? How should we exercise? How should we breathe? How should we pray? You must personalize these. Your role is to personalize these. “Can we personalize even though we do not know well?” If you truly pray and meet the person, it will come forth. Even if you speak incorrectly, God is urgent and will change your brain.
Spiritual doctors—you are spiritual doctors. You have the answer that can change the culture of darkness. You have it all. If you only know the importance, these aspects will emerge.
6. Healing those spiritually ill
Sixth. It is a similar expression, and healing can be done together, but there are those who are spiritually ill. Most of you now are RTS men and pastors. Remember this. Among all people there are spiritual problems, right? But if it is to the extent that it hinders me, we call it illness. Right? “I am struggling because of spiritual things”—that is illness. “I cannot do something because of spiritual things”—that is illness. That is about 60%. You must know this. These people—this is truly hard to understand—but they come to hear your message. If it seems slightly not the gospel, they leave. What is “not the gospel”? Saying “Jesus is the Christ” is fine, but those who have this problem understand. For example, when you point out a wrong, you must point out a wrong, right? If you become too angry at that, we call it the law. When I point out Pastor Lee Sang-Bae’s wrong, and I become too angry, that is the law. But when I am very proud of him, have great compassion, and want to help—that is the gospel. That comes out in the message. You may say the gospel completely, but the listener says, “No.” This is extremely important. And all our co-workers, staff, must know this. These people will receive the message materials later, but they must listen quickly now. If you do not understand, there are two reasons: either it means you are spiritually rather healthy, or your spiritual senses are dull. If people keep trying to pin things on us and make it hard, those people will not even bat an eye; they will rather oppose with prayer. Churches and church leaders must know this. Only then can they help those people. They have nowhere to go. What illness? You know better: depression, and so on—they all exist. I am not speaking of that now.
1) Position
Where should this person go? Where must this person be positioned? It is not “I must be healed no matter what.” He hears the Word, receives grace, and lives; if more healing is needed, he knows it all. Those who have not heard the gospel—where do they all go in American churches? They all go to the three organizations. Do you know where they go in Korea? You must know this—they all go to Shincheonji. We should not only criticize Shincheonji or others; we must know the reason they go there. To a sound person, it looks like they are just holding onto people; but to those who are hurt, it is attention to them. Someone there confessed like this—saying things that make no sense, and yet they said it: “Shincheonji treats every believer as the best.” Why? Because when they were sick, they kept coming until they got better. When asked, “Are you healed?” they said they were. From my perspective, they were not healed, but they still answered that they were. Look at this now. We must think a lot. They even go to Youngsaenggyo. That crazy place—by my view, completely insane—yet they go there. When someone says he is God, they say “Amen” there. Therefore, at least you must truly know people and heal them spiritually. There will be more. Those who say, “I was healed through the message,” will not discriminate between fire and water—they will do anything. Many pastors cannot understand this. Pastors who have such problems understand quickly.
2) Family
It is not only this that becomes a problem. Those who are spiritually ill also have family. We must help them. From what I see, the family has even more problems. This is what evangelists or associate pastors must quickly do. What does it mean that this person is “in this position”? It means there are many people around, but he is lonely. He says there is nothing wrong, but he worries.
3) Changing the bartizan
How must we do this? There is no answer—therefore, only if this person changes the bartizan to the amazing bartizan in God’s Word—the gospel that can heal him—will it work. That is why I say this. I do not merely say, “Build a bartizan,” but though everyone has spiritual aspects, for these people we must absolutely say, “Change the bartizan.” If he can just understand these words, true works will arise.
Reason—you must make them realize the reason. “Your mental illness will never be healed; if you know the absolute reason it is not healed, you will be healed.” Why? “You keep building a bartizan of darkness. The family keeps helping this child build a bartizan of darkness. Even when going to church, if you would only listen to the pastor’s sermon it would be fine, but you listen to people’s words and keep making a bartizan of darkness. One day the problem will come. What will you do?” This is extremely important. Those who lose their minds keep stacking what makes them lose it. Therefore, you must help. “Change it to God’s bartizan!” If you do not know this, you cannot do pastoral ministry going forward. Among you there are those in whom works are arising now—those who, by personality, say “only the gospel,” “yes is yes, no is no,” “only!” Such people will do it. But after saying “only the gospel,” if you then strike those with spiritual problems, that person will struggle.
7. Healing the mission field
Lastly, the mission field. You already know this content about the mission field, but the answers all come out through healing.
1) Superstition, idols, shamanism (divination)
But the 5,000 tribes inevitably believe in superstition. It cannot be helped. You must catch this. Why are they caught in superstition? Because they are inevitably caught in idols. If it were only superstition and idols, it would be one thing, but they take one more step and fall into shocking shamanism and incantations. Almost all the 5,000 tribes are caught in this. Sometimes they do very strange things. If these people come to Korea, they will not do such things. They do bizarre things. This is the mission field. The more I see the content Christ spoke on His last platform, the more right it is. How did Jesus, for 40 days, speak of the throne and the matters of the kingdom of God, and lastly say, “Receive only the fullness of the Holy Spirit; receive power and be my witnesses to the ends of the earth”? There are towns we cannot even enter. That is the situation.
2) TCK
Therefore, utilize TCKs who know this answer well. TCKs are extremely important.
3) CCK, NCK
And finally, there are CCKs and NCKs whom only TCKs can reach—these we, in fact, cannot do. CCK means those fixed within a cultural sphere that stands in complete opposition to the gospel. The T is that third word; C is Cross. More fearful is NCK. N is Nothing—there is nothing. Not even that exists. They have completely fallen into the raw opposite of the raw gospel, namely the raw darkness.
These seven are the last ministries you must do. If we say it like this, others may be offended when they hear, but these are the last ministries that only you can do. Not just any pastor can do them. Right? We must understand the heart of Christ in the 40 days of earnest longing for the gospel—the secret of the gospel. It is the spiritual problem that is becoming globalized. That is why God called us. He could have left us to die or live, but it is a spiritual problem that is becoming globalized. Therefore, God regarded Paul—who saw this part and dug into it—as extremely precious. So, “Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar”—and even, “Last night, an angel of the Lord…”
▣ Conclusion: The final resolution
You must make the final resolution.
1) The three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age – 24/25/eternity
Why the three courtyards? If you truly know this, an important answer will come, right? Why the three courtyards? The answer is already within you. Why the three-day weekend age? Why the holy meditation age? If you truly know this, this answer comes. Without enjoying 24 happiness, 24 power, and the enjoyment of 24 with many disciples, we cannot save them. This is not hard—it is the most comfortable. Your breathing will be difficult now because the system is not set; for me, not doing it is difficult. Likewise, you must gain and give answers like this. When you look at thieves—those with ten criminal records—why do they steal so superbly? Why? Because they do 24. If you do 24, the path becomes visible. If you do 25, the spiritual world becomes visible. If you hold “eternity,” masterpieces come forth. Then how great is the answer Christ has given us? You must surely do this.
2) The age of church revival (system)
Now your second and final resolution: open the age of church revival. This is not greed. Here, too, the most important thing is the system. If you open your eyes, you will see we are preparing messages with a system that saves the world. “Why are there so many terms?” It is the system. As for explaining to new members, do not bother—do not do it. They will understand everything by the Holy Spirit.
3) Absolute bartizan
Simply, from now on, prepare the absolute bartizan that can save the church, save the region, and bring revival—with 24/25/eternity. Now you are about to live a new life once. “Oh, this is God’s work!” Even when only a few gather at church, people begin to come to life. Though the church always suffered economically, now it sends mission funds—this is right, isn’t it? Before, we always struggled because of daily life. Now we send missionaries—that is God’s will. We bring to life.
Therefore, the most important thing is that pastors must not give up. You have the status and authority to always receive the new things God gives. It may be hard to believe. Looking at your faces, you have given up. Not just “have given up”—just by looking I can tell it is a face that has decided it cannot be done, so it has given up. Why do you give up? You have not even begun. Up to now, the reasons you were kept until now—those introductions that must disappear—were shown to you. Most gave up, but Jesus confirmed that everything before His crucifixion and resurrection was unnecessary. Right? When He spoke on the last platform at Mt Olive, they actually ran away and were gone. By the Lord’s grace, the team that barely realized a little was Peter’s team. Right? Then the team that fully understood this was Paul. Therefore, world evangelization was accomplished.
It is not difficult. Holding this covenant, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to enjoy the blessing of our RTS accomplishing world evangelization. Let us give a clap of glory to our God. It will surely become so.
Prayer. God, we thank You. The servants of the age have gathered. Let us proclaim what is of Christ, not our boast. Let us establish the bartizan of Christ that saves, which cannot be solved by any other means. Let us surely heal the seven places, make them the summit, and send them forth. Now we must save the church. Make us a church that saves the region. And thus make us a church that sends evangelists to the world. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
