2024.08.05 PKMK Retreat
Theme: Restoration of PK and MK Identity (Exodus 2:1–10)
Scripture Reading: Exodus 28:6–12, Acts 1:3, 19:8
Message 1: Always
♠ Introduction
The theme for this year is “The Identity of PKs and MKs.” In Exodus 2:1–10, it says a man of the tribe of Levi married a Levite woman. That is identity.
The 2024 Leaders’ Retreat and WRC emphasize 24 (saving myself), 25 (saving the world), eternity (saving the age), execution (resulting in work), and the secret (Genesis 41:38). You must enjoy this model.
24 means having the strength to save myself; it does not mean fasting and praying without rest but gaining the strength from God to study and live. Without this, even elite institutions produce mental problems.
25 is God’s timetable and is the power to save the world. Eternity refers to the eternal timetable that saves the age. Execution means works will follow when these are put into action.
The secret of Genesis 41:38 encompasses survival, spiritual insight, hidden answers, synergy, victory in crisis, the irrelevance of competition, re-creation, becoming the summit, being Nobody who does what no one can, and receiving God’s absolute plan. PKs must receive this blessing.
There is no instruction other than to prepare the vessel. Without a vessel, there can be no filling. Even with minimal knowledge, PKs can save churches.
If a church has fewer than 100 members, someone must take the lead and raise a field bartizan. For example, Boston has 500 universities; there must be disciples there. Pastors with fewer than 100 members must be on the field, while those with more must empower disciples.
Small vessels limit God’s work. Many Korean churches split once they reach 30 or 500 due to small vessels. Churches must implement a district system. PKs/MKs know this reality.
A small tank holds few fish; a large net gathers many. Permission-based fishing techniques mirror this. Large churches must let associate pastors lead. All fields require strength and vessel preparation.
LECture 1: Old Testament – Ephod (Exodus 28:6–12)
1. Tabernacle – Tent
The first identity marker in the Old Testament is the ephod. Priests wore the ephod, which was a distinct garment. More importantly, it bore the names of the 12 tribes, symbolizing intercession. The tabernacle was central. All the tents of the Israelites faced the tabernacle. Why do believers fail? Because their lives are not centered on church, worship, or prayer. This must be restored through testimony and answer.
2. Content – Christ
The tabernacle’s structure points to Christ. The washing basin signifies sanctification. The lampstands, bread table, holy place, and ark of the covenant all represent Christ. Everything inside the tabernacle reveals Christ’s identity and role.
3. Mobility – World Evangelization
The tabernacle was portable. This is significant. It symbolizes world evangelization. For 40 years, the Israelites moved through the wilderness with the tabernacle, signifying a life of mission and movement.
♠ Conclusion: Standard (300%) ♠
PKs/MKs are not just remnants but remnants among remnants. Form 24-hour intercessory prayer teams. The three organizations are doing this and influencing the world. Religious groups and Muslims are also practicing 24. You have the privilege to restore what has been lost. Don’t lose strength by looking at your current situation. God has prepared your future. Hold onto the two lifelines: spiritual revival through prayer and physical and mental health through breathing prayer. The standard is 300%. The Darakbang movement is not haphazard; it has prepared 300%. Through you, the 5,000 tribes will rise. The reason we go to the 237 nations is for the sake of the 5,000 tribes.
LECture 2: New Testament Age – The Throne (Acts 1:3)
♠ Introduction – Holy Meditation Movement (Holy Spirit)
Be the protagonists of the holy meditation movement. This is 25. Without it, the world cannot be saved. Jesus taught only one thing during His ministry: this. He discarded all else and emphasized the one thing the church today ignores. Jesus ate with tax collectors, forgave sinners, and healed on the Sabbath—acts the religious elite could not understand. He rebuked false faith in Matthew 5–7 and incorrect evangelism in Matthew 13. Peter confessed Christ but was told to wait because there was still more to receive. Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled,” because the Holy Spirit would come. You must do the one thing Jesus commanded: become the main figure of the holy meditation movement. If you enjoy prayer, 25 will come. Then eternal works will follow. When that happens, you will save the age, even without trying.
♠ Main – Watchman
You are called as watchmen. Watchmen need bartizans. That’s why we speak of 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, and 7 guideposts. These are not static but moving. The 7 journeys are not ordinary—they are guideposts that save each age. Spread this holy meditation movement.
♠ Conclusion: OURS ♠
The standard in Message 1 was 300%. In Message 2, it is Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation—this is the system called OURS. Don’t worry. Lay all your anxieties down. Worrying about the future is for unbelievers. You were called before you were born (Jeremiah 1:5). Many people live faulty Christian lives. Don’t be deceived. Hold this truth deep in your heart. Worry for God’s kingdom is right; worldly worry leads to destruction.
LECture 3: Paul’s Era – The Work of God’s Kingdom (Acts 1:3, Acts 19:8)
♠ Introduction – Acts 13, 16, 19
Paul did what Jesus prophesied: he fulfilled the work of God’s kingdom. In Acts 19:8, he boldly proclaimed the kingdom of God for three months. This must be upon your studies. Bold preaching comes from clarity and conviction. In Acts 13, 16, and 19, Paul waited until God’s works were evident. That is key. He prayed until the guidance of the Holy Spirit became reality. Demonic forces broke. When doors closed, he waited—then God opened the way to Macedonia. Lydia’s heart was opened by the Lord. A demon-possessed girl was healed. Great works happened in prison. In Acts 19:1–7, the exact works of Mark’s upper room were experienced. Begin with this prayer. Then Paul boldly proclaimed the kingdom. In Tyrannus, great works occurred. Then he declared, “I must see Rome.” You are the true evangelism movement’s protagonists.
♠ Main
1. The Working (Guidance) of the Holy Spirit – Doors
Acts 13, 16, and 19 show the full working of the Holy Spirit. Paul received clear guidance. That is the blessing you must receive. If doors don’t open, don’t go. The working of the Holy Spirit is tangible and real. The Holy Spirit’s indwelling and His work are distinct. This is what you must enjoy.
2. Healing – Transformation
Healing arose through Paul. Healing will arise through you. Evangelism doors will naturally open as healing takes place. Transformation follows.
3. Synagogues – Remnants (Future)
Paul found synagogues. Why? That’s where the remnants were. And remnants represent the future. When the Holy Spirit works, missions doors open, healing comes, and complete transformation occurs. That is how history is made.
♠ Conclusion: Vessel Preparation (Standard) – WIOS ♠
Prepare your vessel. The standard is WIOS: W (With), I (Immanuel), O (Oneness), S (System of Only, Uniqueness, Re-creation). God is with you wherever you go. That is the witness of Immanuel. What seemed like hardship was actually Oneness. All things work together for good. This has become your system. That is the PK/MK identity. No need for discouragement or pride. Hold onto the covenant and save lives. You all attended the Leaders’ Retreat. Now hold onto a sure covenant. Scripture often marks a turning point: “From that day on.” David was filled with the Spirit when he grasped the covenant. Esther was raised “for such a time as this.” Professors and politicians are valuable, but they cannot do this. The U.S. is turning into a mental institution. Developing nations are worse. God calls remnants to save the 5,000 tribes. When going to them, learn their languages. God works in those who are truly prepared. At WRC, the flags represented locations tied to the 5,000 tribes. This may be the first time in history. Some live on one dollar a month. Many are sick and destitute. Some survive by eating garbage. We must go to save them. When you gain strength, you will save the world and the age. Hold to this now.
To conclude: Be conscious. Be conscious of your thoughts—that is prayer. Be aware of your breathing—that is breathing prayer. When you go somewhere, find meaning. A leaf may be trash to a cleaner, but a poem to a poet. Turn your thoughts into prayer. Your brain will revive without you knowing. Despair and conflict kill the brain. But revived brains awaken the soul, and the soul is connected to eternity. PKs/MKs have seen and known what other remnants cannot. Regular remnants who succeed often work for the world. PKs/MKs work for the gospel and the church. When you succeed, save the church and the global church.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that through Message 1 and 2, this blessing may be firmly imprinted in you.
Let us pray.
Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, the solution to all problems, the infinite love of God the Father, and the working of the Holy Spirit be always with all the PKs and MKs, and upon the infinitely remaining future, from now and forevermore. Amen.
