2024.09.12 – The 19th North America Businesspersons Evangelism Conference, Lecture 3
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:1-14
▣ Introduction
We must absolutely remember the final message that Jesus gave us. Jesus gave us God’s bartizan, and He directly explained why. Jesus said that although the Jews claimed to believe in God, there was a bartizan given by Satan among them. In a way, that’s a terrifying statement. And as a result, the Jews were all destroyed, weren’t they?
The second point is this: build a fortress greater than the one God gave. The Bible records this. Inside this covenant, there is a fortress. The English word is “strongholds,” which means a fortress. In Korean it’s sometimes translated as “house,” but the deeper meaning is a fortified spiritual base.
The Corinthian church was constantly fighting, so God said, “Build God’s fortress.” You must remember these three things.
Today’s focus: Build God’s kingdom. This is an even greater matter. Why is that?
We must begin by looking at Jesus’ own words. In John 16:11, Jesus said clearly that people are living inside Satan’s kingdom. He was speaking directly to the ruler of this world, Satan. In 2 Corinthians 4:4-5, Paul calls him the “god of this world.”
Therefore, we must pray the way Jesus commanded us to pray. There are many misunderstandings about prayer. I once started reading a book by Hudson Taylor but didn’t finish it. It contained stories like, “I went somewhere and suddenly got money,” or “I had no money, but suddenly it came from somewhere.” Those sound impressive, especially for missionaries, but are those really answers? Not necessarily — those are circumstances God allows, but that’s not the essence of prayer.
Prayer begins by first creating the spiritual world. That’s destiny. It will never disappear. Prayer moves the mental world, and eventually, it becomes revealed in the physical world.
I came to the U.S. and attended this Industrial Workers Conference, joining this assembly. Is there a greater answer than this? There isn’t. Do you think an answer only happens when something suddenly drops from the sky? That’s not true. Many people simply don’t understand prayer.
So don’t be discouraged. Even many pastors don’t preach about this. They often teach the very things Jesus said not to do. But Jesus clearly said that the spiritual world must be established first.
That’s why, through prayer, you must now build your bartizan, your fortress, and God’s kingdom. People of the world are trapped under Satan’s rule, and even the Pharisee synagogues of that time had fallen into this state. Jesus pointed this out directly.
- Rome
Eventually, this became the Roman church, and world evangelization spread from there. But the Roman church began to teach salvation by works. Among their teachings, they emphasized seven sacraments. For example, confession may seem unusual, but understandable. However, they also taught about “last rites,” saying, “You don’t know whether you’re saved or not, so before you die, you must receive this sacrament, and then you’ll enter heaven.” And then they said, “If you give more money, you go straight to heaven.” That’s why the Catholic Church became wealthy.
Even worse, they sold indulgences, saying, “If you pay money, your sins will be forgiven.” This is absurd. They were building one of Satan’s bartizans — spiritual systems created to deceive people.
- 3 Organizations
Next, there are the three organizations. They’ve built their own spiritual kingdoms completely. Members of the New Age movement boldly state, “We don’t believe in God. We worship Satan.” They openly confess this.
The Freemasons are another example. People who just take pictures of Masonic symbols are not real members. The true members are involved in spirit-channeling movements tied to the Nephilim. It’s terrifying.
- USA
And now, let’s look at the United States. If you think America is exempt from this, you’re mistaken. Do you know why you are so important? Because America has become a country where the Gospel has nearly disappeared. These three organizations are most active in America.
At the same time, the nation pushes agendas like “Don’t discriminate against religions” and “Don’t discriminate by gender.” On the surface, these sound reasonable, but in reality, they are removing the foundation of Christ. They even say, “Don’t speak about Christ.” They’ve removed Christ from Christmas. Satan is working aggressively in this age.
▣ Main
Therefore, you, especially those involved in spiritual work, must do certain things within this battlefield.
God’s masterpiece
In the midst of this, God calls you to create His masterpiece.
① 300% – 3 Concentrations, 3 Settings, 3 Answers
Especially for those in spiritual work, you must set up your three settings so that 300% of your life aligns with them. Morning, noon, and night, focus deeply. When you do this, your bartizan, your fortress, and God’s kingdom will be set up without fail. But if you live with constant unbelief, anger, and complaining, your spiritual settings will form a completely different fortress — one built on the wrong foundation.
② 7/7/7
Start with the confession, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” From there, God has guided us to the 5,000 tribes. Together with pastors and leaders, I’ve traveled worldwide confirming God’s Word and seeing how He fulfills His promises.
You must become the key people for the three-day weekend age, the three courtyards, and the TCK (Third Culture Kids) movement.
③ Individual / Church / Industry / Policy / Next
God is calling you to personalize this covenant, apply it to your church, expand it into your work field, influence policies, and raise the next generation. That’s the masterpiece God wants to create through you. When you pray continually — when you live in 24-hour prayer — God will make it happen naturally.
That’s why Jesus commanded, “Go and proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is near.” He taught us to pray, “Your kingdom come.” He said, “Don’t pray for all these things, because your Father already knows what you need. Instead, seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.”
For 40 days, Jesus spoke about this before He ascended: build God’s bartizan, build God’s fortress, and build God’s kingdom. Yet today, many don’t believe this, and many churches don’t teach it.
If you truly build God’s system, everything else follows automatically. You don’t need to waste your prayers asking for food, money, or success. When God’s bartizan is established, everything else comes after: “All these things will be added to you.”
Remnants, study while praying this prayer through three concentrations. Later, this will influence policies and raise the next generation. This is how your life becomes God’s masterpiece.
- Eternal
This blessing has existed since before eternity. From the very beginning, this blessing has always been present.
1) Exodus 5:1–12:46
In Exodus 5:1 through 12:46, the power of the throne — this authority of God — was revealed to Moses. That power had always existed beforehand, but God revealed this power each time a crisis arose.
2) 1 Samuel 7:9
In 1 Samuel 7:9, during the Mizpah Movement, this same power was already there. They offered a blood sacrifice, and during the time of the sacrifice, God caused a natural disaster to strike the Philistines who attacked, and He crushed them. That same power was revealed then.
3) 2 Kings 6:8–24
In 2 Kings 6:8–24, we see that as they held onto the covenant and prayed, God’s power was at work through the Dothan Movement. The power revealed during Mizpah was the same power that had already been revealed during the Exodus.
4) Isaiah 6:13, 7:14
As you know, those who understood Isaiah 6:13 and Isaiah 7:14 — people like Daniel and his three friends — began to experience the power of the throne even in Babylon. There’s no doubt about this.
5) Romans 16
In Romans 16, God raised up people in the same way. He used them the same way He used those before them. This is the answer God has prepared for all of you who are involved in work. Don’t be deceived.
First, establish your spiritual world, and it will lead into your mental world. Once your spiritual world is made, that becomes your destiny — it cannot be changed. And this ultimately leads into the physical world.
Jesus earnestly explained this for 40 days.
- Middle age
During the Middle Ages, something important happened.
1) Habakkuk 2:4
In the Middle Ages, when the Gospel disappeared again, Martin Luther stood up and proclaimed the Gospel. He said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel,” even as he faced mockery and curses. People hated him for speaking about Christ. When you talk about the Gospel, those without it hate you.
Jesus said, “You will be hated because of Me.” That’s why Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes. The righteous shall live by faith.”
2) Romans 1:16–17
This is what the prophet Habakkuk said, and Paul quoted it in Romans 1:16–17.
3) Luther
Later, Martin Luther quoted this passage as well. Why am I telling you this? Because Martin Luther risked his life on these words. The powerful medieval church wanted to kill him, but Luther’s response was this:
“Why do you sell indulgences and claim that salvation comes from money? That’s wrong. Salvation is by the Gospel alone. The righteous shall live by faith.”
The medieval church, trapped under Satan’s system, sentenced Luther to death.
Why am I talking about this today? Because we are now tracing history back to the beginning — and at the center of this, one church leader supported Luther. One businessperson helped him. It was extremely dangerous, but that support flipped the world upside down.
Industrial workers, this is the kind of work you’re called to do. That person secretly helped Luther translate the Bible, even though until then, no one was allowed to read Scripture. During the day, he disguised himself like a hunter, and at night, he translated the Bible.
I’ve been to these places personally — I visited the church where Luther was sentenced to death and the place where he hid and translated the Bible. Because Luther translated the Bible, Satan attacked violently. People say Luther once threw an ink bottle at the devil when he appeared to torment him. But when we checked, we found that someone had chipped away and stolen the spot where the ink had been thrown.
- Future age
When you work for the future generations, God will absolutely use you. Don’t underestimate yourself.
1) RT
You never know what will happen through the remnants you raise. You don’t know, and history doesn’t know yet. Who could have imagined that Luther would appear and change the world? The Catholic Church underestimated him and mocked him, saying, “He’s immoral, he ran off with a nun,” because he married a former nun. They criticized him while ignoring their own faults.
But it was one church leader who stood behind Luther and saved him. You must remember this.
What will happen in the future? Many of the first-generation elders will pass away. Churches in America are closing rapidly. What will happen then? Will God just let it all collapse? No — God is calling you to raise the remnants and prepare the future generation.
Raise the remnants. Especially for those of you in spiritual work — stake your life on this. You must pray 24 hours for this.
2) TCK
Raise the TCKs. This is also an answer.
3) CCK, NCK
Seek out the TCKs and NCKs scattered among the 5,000 tribes and restore them. You must begin this in earnest.
▣ Conclusion
Now let’s conclude.
- Answer
When did God give the answers that shook heaven and earth? It’s when you established certain systems.
(1) WIOS
When your W-I-O-S — Word, Identity, Occupation, and System — was firmly established, God worked.
(2) OURS
When the system of Only, Uniqueness, and Re-Creation was built, God answered.
(3) 7/7/7S
When God’s system of the bartizan, the fortress, and the kingdom — the 7/7/7 system — was set up, God gave answers.
- Healing, TCK, Holy Mason house
Second, build these within your church. Create healing houses under your name, inside the church, where spiritually sick people can come and pray comfortably. Build TCK houses inside the church as well — not outside, because those disappear quickly.
In America, pray to purchase church buildings that have closed down and turn them into Holy Mason houses. God will give you answers that shake heaven and earth.
- 5,000 Age
Third, don’t just save the 5,000 tribes — open the era of the 5,000 tribes. The whole world will be filled with war, drugs, and mental illness. It’s not a question of whether answers will come or not — they will come automatically.
Do you understand now why you are in America? Do you understand now why we are raising remnants? You may think you came here by coincidence, but God has an absolute plan.
Some say, “I came because I was poor and wanted a better life.” Others say, “I came here to study and ended up staying.” But those aren’t the real reasons. God sent you here because He intends to use you for His work.
This time, remember these three words. Theologians won’t teach this. Pastors rarely talk about it. That’s why there’s no competition. Jesus told us to pray this way, didn’t He? So, let us pray.
Prayer. May the grace of Jesus Christ, who is the solution to all problems, and the infinite love of God the Father, and the working power of the Holy Spirit be with all industrial workers who will save the 5,000 tribes in America, with all church leaders, and with all remnants, from now until eternity. Amen.
