04. Mar. 2025 237 New Believers & Field Ministers’ Training, Lecture 1
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:9-11
Today’s 1st lecture is “The New Believer’s 24.” Because everyone is within 24, what the center of that 24 is determines one’s destiny.
Well, if that is the case, we are people who enjoy the 24 blessing, and the part we must always do is: “What answer is God giving right now?” The reason church members cannot find answers is that they come on Sunday and do not know what kind of blessing God is giving to me right now, so it doesn’t matter whether they worship or not. Therefore, if you do not know the start of man’s fundamental problem and the solution, reading Genesis a hundred times is of no use. It was said that the truth, which is true liberation, shall set you free, but if you do not know the Exodus from darkness, reading Exodus for a hundred years is of no use. Therefore, even if you come out of Egypt, you haven’t truly come out. There are many such believers. They received salvation, but if you haven’t received salvation, you don’t know. They received it, but they are still there.
Therefore, the important thing among the 24 is, “Then what kind of time is it now?”
① It is the time of Acts 2:9-11. It is the person who entered here. The new believer—who is the person this individual met? It is you. This is an immense time.
② Acts 8:26-40, and look. It says the Spirit of the Lord led him. It is recorded that the Holy Spirit of the Lord led him. The meeting between the Ethiopian eunuch and Philip—you must enjoy this covenant now for that spiritual answer to come to me.
③ Acts 9:10-15, well, how is it? God attached Paul to this person. Amazing, isn’t it? How big of a blessing is this? Everyone, always, wherever you go, even when you meet work, and when you worship, you must know how God is speaking right now. That is what is called hearing God’s voice. Therefore, at times like the World Remnant Conference, it is something immense. Right? You must not miss this message. It is something God gave. It wasn’t Philip who did it. The Spirit of the Lord, and the Holy Spirit of the Lord, and Christ Himself spoke directly to Ananias. Ananias is not a person who received an ordinary blessing. Because when he was going out to Damascus, God broke Paul. Right? The question is why He did it there. Ananias is in that vicinity. This is the blessing you will receive and the blessing you have received. This is an immense story for Paul. To put it simply, he is a chosen vessel for the 237 and 5,000 tribes.
④ Acts 10:1-45, well, look at this situation. When Peter went to the house of Simon the tanner, God made him meet Cornelius.
⑤ Acts 13:1-2, is this not a text you know well? Paul went to his first mission field. He crushed the darkness there, and the governor was shocked after seeing that fact. In fact, such a door has opened among new believers. That is the end of it. Because you become spiritually imprinted with that, you can even forget it. Worshipping, memorizing God’s Word on Sunday, and carrying it around—that is something impossible. Right? In fact, we write it down later to leave it as proper material and to evangelize; actually, there is no need for that. However, when church members worship, truly important elders hear God’s voice. Well, it is the time when the answer of the Mark’s Upper Room was given to us; the worship time is that, but today is Christmas. How should we view this? Do you not see something amazing? The time of the Mark’s Upper Room is the worship time, but today is that time—an immense history is seen. You must enjoy it.
⑥ Acts 16:14, 16-18, so the door to Asia was blocked and he was told to go to Macedonia, so he went and met Lydia. The Bible records it like this: The Lord opened Lydia’s heart…
Today, two pastors came and we had a brief interview; in fact, this is a story among our family—Paul only did three things when he went to mission regions. Right? What did he do? He did Nephilim ministry. So this is so important right now, but using the word “shaman” is sometimes like that. Right? In fact, Paul went and treated a shaman. Right? If so, these people are everything. Attaching this word…
Also, people who do some kind of shamanism are different from you. Because they have had many spiritual experiences, even after they come out, they must continue to listen to the message; they are different from you. In fact, they are people who have received the blessing of 24, 25, and eternity.
So I said this. Instead of using such words—when Paul was told “come to Macedonia,” where was that? It is Troas. Going there is Macedonia. It is better to attach words like Troas Missions Society or Macedonia Missions Society; only then can these people start the ministry that God truly desires, and they must enjoy that answer as a lifelong blessing—isn’t that right? They must enjoy the lifelong answer. Through this person, such a thing happened.
⑦ Acts 17:3-4, so when we meet a new believer now, how did we go? This is how we went to Thessalonica. Preaching the Gospel amidst that difficulty—and here, Greeks and leading women came out.
⑧ Acts 18:1-4, especially look. It is the Priscilla couple. They met Paul. They enter the synagogue. Right now is that time of blessing. You just need to be moved by that Holy Spirit. Then, spiritual things are bound to work within our brain, soul, and eternal background.
Well, if that is the case, what would be the most important part today?
1. New Believer?
Something truly important: What are new believers doing 24 with? Do you not think it’s important? If so, what is our ministry and the answer we must give? It comes out easily. In a way, even if the pastors here do not do special evangelism, if they save these people, everyone will come to life. As far as I know—he is a senior—this person is handsome, smart, and knows so much. Everyone in our village knows him. The person is handsome, smart, and if you ask, there is nothing he doesn’t know. But there is nothing he has accomplished. He is perfectly fine, and his wife is a very decent woman, but he later divorced her, and so he cannot even work at a job he enters. Whether it was God’s grace or because he had nowhere else to go, he came to church. I thought he would change, but that wasn’t the case either. He’s like this after coming to church. He met someone similar to himself, and instead of listening to the Word, he kept doing other things. I am not talking about that person.
(1) Giving up 40% – Right now, although they don’t say it after coming to church, 40% are people who have given up on their lives. It would work if this person just listened to the Word properly after coming to church, but that doesn’t happen. And they have absolutely no interest in God’s guidance.
(2) Struggling 50% – “How can I survive in the world?” 50% are people who are at least struggling. Then that means it’s almost everyone. If you combine them, it’s 90%; among the 90%, 40% have given up. These people do not give up but they struggle. In a way, the term “world evangelization” does not fit them. Even temple construction is difficult.
(3) Successors 10% – Among them, there are people who have succeeded. These people are about 10%. Making a living is fine, they do business well, passed the bar exam and became a judge, became an immense prosecutor, passed the teacher certification exam, studied at medical school and became a doctor—such people are only 10%, but what about these people? They cannot solve their actual difficulties. In a way, it is more difficult than for these other people. “Still, I studied since I was young and became a judge, so that one thing is my comfort.” How is it, everyone? Is it only like this for new believers? Most people are like that, but new believers do not know what to do. It is difficult to reach the point where they follow the Word every day and think, “It is the Word God gave to me,” after coming to worship on Sunday. Well, you must help them so that it becomes that way.
2. Imprinting – Me (Testimony)
To do that, they now change through the things that have been imprinted in the meantime. So, for these people to obtain the answer, they must see, “Ah, I am not working out yet.” Otherwise, they do not change. Therefore, for new believers, these testimonies—where they truly enjoy the Gospel—are needed. In a way, the story in the Bible is the answer, but for people, meeting an actual person can be more of an answer than what is in the Bible. Well, then I must see myself within this. “I was like this,” so you know the 12 strategies of Satan, right? They are actually trapped in there.
3. Faith – Spiritual DNA
Therefore, you must plant faith in them so they don’t suffer for a lifetime. You must tell them. The spiritual DNA changes. I don’t know about your actual DNA changing, but the spiritual DNA changes!
(1) In John 19:30, Jesus said He finished everything.
(2) 2 Corinthians 5:17, then what must we do? In 2 Corinthians 5:17, it says we are a new creation; the spiritual DNA changes. It must change. “Change your life”—that is the next story; you must change the spiritual DNA. I mean, if you see someone who is wandering around because of alcohol addiction and say, “Hey, quit drinking and come to church,” they cannot come. Right? They say their hands shake if an alcohol addict doesn’t drink; I understand that. I saw it directly. They said their hands only stabilize after waking up in the morning and drinking two bottles. How can you do that? No, they told me directly. If a normal person drinks two bottles of soju, they cannot work, right? This person’s mind returns only after drinking two bottles of soju. To see that person and say, “Quit drinking and come to church,” is the same as saying, “Go straight to hell.” First, come—the spiritual DNA must change first. It must change to Only Jesus Christ.
(3) Galatians 2:20 is the blessing you will receive; I, you, and we, who had no choice but to receive destruction, were crucified, and the resurrected Christ dwells in me—it is certain. If this story is believed, works will happen. Faith becomes righteousness. You cannot become righteous through anything else. You do not become righteous by repaying. Right? You cannot become righteous by making some kind of compensation. You receive salvation by believing in the grace and Gospel given by God. You must make this clear to the new believer. Now, they are sick and came to church. They must forget even that. You didn’t come because of that; God chose you!
Main – Confirmation of Status
So, “Who are you?” Your status must be confirmed. Who am I? It is confirming that.
1. The Last Promise of Jesus Christ
There are three things, the last promise given by Jesus Christ. This begins to come upon you; it is the story told at the last moment.
1. John 14:16
Do not let your hearts be troubled, do not be afraid; I will pray to the Father, and when I go, I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit; He will be with you forever.
2. John 14:26
He went one step further. If you pray to the Father in my name, He will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit.
3. John 16:13
And what did He do? He will let you know the things to come; you must tell them. Being saved means the Holy Spirit dwells within you; this Counselor, the Holy Spirit, will lead you into the truth, and so He lets you know the things to come—these are the words Jesus spoke.
4. John 20:22
He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit”; you are confirming your status now; there is nothing else, no difference, in the status—your face doesn’t change because you believe in Jesus, but when you believe in Jesus, the Holy Spirit works in you!
5. Acts 1:8
He said He would make you full of this Holy Spirit and give you power. It is the last promise of Jesus. You must believe. The original reason He gave salvation is that He promised to do this. You must make this clear to the new believer.
2. Meditation Time
What is next? From now on, you have meditation time.
1. Morning – Meditation of Recovery
The morning is the time to recover my blessings and everything. Do not learn from people, but do it actually—that is the Key. Do not try to learn from somewhere, but actually pray to God; at first, it looks like nothing, but it overturns destiny.
2. Day – Meditation of Life
During the day, do the meditation of life. You must teach them what that means. Turn everything into prayer. Conversation prayer with God causes immense works to happen. In a way, conversation prayer has more strength than fasting prayer. In a way, if you starve too much, you’re not in your right mind. However, prayer that converses with God becomes an immense prayer. It looks like nothing, but He clearly said the Holy Spirit would be with you.
3. Night – Meditation of the Answer
At night, do not just end it; it is okay even if you do not know much of God’s Word. Do meditation that obtains the answer even for a moment. This looks like nothing, but it overturns the destiny for this person. This is called 24. You must teach them about 24.
3. A New Start – “Like the Priscilla Couple”
Therefore, from now on, let our new believer make a new start. You must guide them like this. When making a new start, you cannot tell them many things, so it is good to let them know one representative figure. There are figures who participated in the Mark’s Upper Room and even did world evangelization. It is the Priscilla couple. It is good to let them know.
1. Acts 2:10
Do it like this: They were at that field on the day the Holy Spirit descended upon the Mark’s Upper Room. Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved—Peter gave this message, right? They were within that. When the day of Pentecost had already come, they were within that. They were within the work of power like wind and fire. Prophesying, seeing visions, and dreaming—they were there. It is finished. All these blessings were completed here.
2. Acts 18:1-4
It didn’t end with that. One day an incident occurred and they were expelled from Rome, but that wasn’t it. They met Paul. From now on, it is okay to meet anyone, but you must meet a person who evangelizes. It is truly important. We don’t need to make an enemy of anyone and we must get along well, but you must truly meet a person who evangelizes, and the best way is to follow the pastor’s message. The pastor is a bit ugly—it doesn’t matter at all. He is delivering God’s Word; if the pastor explains God’s Word, you just need to follow it. Who is the message of messages? The messenger is the message. You must make them understand this. If you do not know this, you will fail.
3. Acts 18:24-28
They explained to Apollos, a very important talent, the work that occurred in the Mark’s Upper Room. There is simply nothing wrong. They explained that power received by those who possess the Gospel in the Mark’s Upper Room. You must recover this!
4. 1 Corinthians 16:19
To what extent must you receive the answer? You must receive the answer to the extent that your house becomes a regional church; your husband’s industry must receive the blessing to the extent of doing world evangelization; it is a regional church.
5. Romans 16:3-4
It is Romans 16:3-4. They participated in world evangelization and Rome evangelization. Truly from the start to the end is the answer. We too must enjoy this and let the new believer know. You must receive this blessing first here. 24—there is nothing else. God is blessing you all day and all night. Right? Christ is seated on the throne invisibly and is always with you.
♠ Conclusion: “What?”
It is the conclusion. What are you taking with you? You must let the new believer know what they are taking with them. What will you take with you?
You must tell the new believer.
1. Change (Prayer 300%)
If you want to change yourself, your family, your workplace, your church, and our posterity, take Prayer 300% with you. You must explain this well. You must receive the answer to the point where there is no help from others; because of you, the answer comes to the family; because of you, the people dying of sickness around you receive blessings—take this with you.
2. Answer 300% (Only)
And because the answer will surely come, take Answer 300% with you; you must tell them at this time as well. You just need to know the word “Only.” What should I do today? What should I do in this place? You shouldn’t try to do a lot. If you just find the thing you absolutely must do, that is 300%. Jesus explained 300% and said “Only.” Right? Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, to the ends of the earth—it is 300%. And it is not “be a witness.” It is “you will be”—you must take this with you. You must believe and take it with you. It surely becomes that way.
3. Continuance 300%
However, the thing to do is take Continuance 300% with you. What is the thing to continue? Continue to edit until God’s Word is seen. Continue to design until the prayer answer is seen. Continue to pray until the field is seen. This is Continuance 300%. It is not difficult. New believers do it even better. You must tell them.
Why? Because most church members barely manage to come to church on Sunday and worship, and that is all. They absolutely cannot overcome the world. Right? I’m sorry, but they absolutely cannot succeed. Then wouldn’t it be better not to go to church? Then they will be ruined again. Why? Because they are God’s people, right? That’s how it is. Rather, even if a non-believer is ruined or goes to hell, there is a time when they succeed. Why? Because they are within darkness, there is a time when it works out. You must tell them. A believer is not a person of darkness, but if they are within darkness, nothing works out. Is that not so? For example, if you are a thief, there is a time when it works out. Why? Because you eat by stealing, right? No, if a government official steals, his neck will be cut later. Nothing works out. If this person is poor at studying, behaves badly, and comes home, what will happen? You must tell them. You are God’s child, so you are not a child of the devil; you shouldn’t be here, and this is clearly guaranteed for you, so this is promised; this is something you are bound to receive.
This is the New Believer’s 24. It is so important. In the 2nd lecture, what is the New Believer’s 25? You must know. What is the eternity the new believer must receive in the third lecture? You must enjoy it while letting them know.
Now → Salvation Work / Word Fulfillment / Prayer Answer
Well, what kind of thing is happening right now? Right now, three things are surely being achieved. They are being achieved right now. I am within this, and this blessing is within me. Right? there is no greater blessing than this. I am within the work of salvation. That work of salvation is coming upon me, my industry, and my work. You must help them hold onto it firmly. Whether you have something in your hand right now or not does not matter. I am within the fulfillment of the Word. No matter what anyone says, I am within world evangelization. World evangelization is within me—that is the end. Then it is okay to live and it is okay to die. If I am outside of this, there is no meaning even if I live. Right? If I die, there is even less meaning. I must be within the prayer answer. It works out.
Therefore, it begins from the moment the new believer understands this blessing and says “Amen.” If children hear it, it goes into them eternally. This is overturned. Your Remnants don’t seem to understand well, but if they do, works happen. The moment they know, works happen. Why? Because they believe, this spiritual work is happening even now. It determines my 24, my destiny. What does 25 change? We must hold onto it firmly. Therefore, in the remaining time today, the thing you must recover while holding onto the covenant is receiving my 24 God’s blessing; I am within this 24—it is correct. Right? Even if you fall, you just need to get up. Because you are within this, there are so many things to do for the new believer. If a person on a boat falls outside the boat, they die, but if they fall inside the boat, they just need to get up. There is so much to do, right? One by one, by the power of the Holy Spirit, God solves them.
Also, you must tell them in various ways. Your family persecutes you while you lead a religious life—is that not natural? That is not persecution. They are confirming you indirectly, right? The husband says, “Why do you go to church? Why go to a church you never went to?” while he is also observing. So, in the past, such a thing happened to Deacon Seo OO. The husband confessed when we went for a visitation. He came to me slightly and, this person is some kind of expert, he spoke to me slightly. I have come to believe in God; my wife’s temper is truly filthy; since believing in Jesus, she has changed; that is not possible without Christ—it is correct to say that, but the wife’s words are also correct. “That man, I mean, how much he persecuted me for going to church”—what is the commonality of those two? I think the husband’s words are correct and the wife’s words are correct. The family seems to be persecuting you, but they are watching. Right? This is more important. If you are enjoying the Gospel at the workplace, sometimes it looks like you do not fit in with the world. You must know the fact that it isn’t so. Right? You must ultimately save that world. If it shows that you believe in Jesus well, in a way, you can be respected by others. Truly, if that person enters an extreme difficulty, they will come looking for you. Therefore, never be mistaken; there are so many things you want to say to the new believer, right?
Lastly, the thing you must remember is what I saw from adults when I was young. They talk so much about difficult stories, stories about others, truly low-level stories, right? Because I disliked that, I tried not to fall into it. So what is the bad habit left in me? A bit of ignoring—because if I don’t ignore it, I become like them. There is something I saw in the church. Whether a position is truly important, they fight. If a new believer sees such a thing, you must help them so they can overcome it. They say, “How can an elder be like that?”, but you must tell them, “He can be like that.” And there are people who even scam within the church; the pastor never taught them to scam, but they go around doing it. How exquisite is this Satan? He makes them stick to the new believer, of all people. Scammers have bright spiritual eyes. They go to the new believer, among them the new believer with money. In the past, such a thing happened. They went and did a Darakbang, and they were so good at the message. The new believer was moved. “Is there such a person?” they say he is like an angel. So they lend money and can’t get it back—there are such people too. You must tell them in advance. There are such people, shouldn’t such people also come to church to be solved? That is why they are there. There are also bad people; that person also needs to see a solution and listen to the Gospel to be fixed—just hold onto the Word. If you do that, this person will receive the answer. The things I saw most when I went out into the world were lies, adults’ useless words, and words of unbelief in the church—they have no choice. Since they do not receive this Gospel, is there anything more to do than that? They find strength when they dispute! They never give an offering in their life, but they do it when they fight! So, as soon as I went out into the world, a desperate heart arose. It is even more so for new believers.
Therefore, from now on, you are saving them with this blessing.
Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you and your household will be saved. I will pray.
Prayer. Let today be a day of blessing to receive God’s grace all day long, let it be a day of healing, and let it be a day of power. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
