06. May 2025 237 New Believers & Field Ministers’ Training, Lecture 2
Scripture Reading: Acts 1:8, 2:1-47
▣ Introduction
Today, Lecture 2 is “New Believers and Occupation.” Occupation includes studies, job, and industry.
After Jesus made this promise (Acts 1:8), it began to be fulfilled at Mark’s Upper Room (Acts 2:1-47). A person whom new believers can look to as a model is the visitor from Rome (Acts 2:10) who was present there. Most people view this as the Priscilla couple (Acts 18:1-4). This person meets Paul. Also, they meet the Remnant Apollos (Acts 18:24-28). And they save Corinth (1 Corinthians 16:19). While that church was fighting, the Priscilla couple did the Gospel movement. Thus, they even participated in Rome evangelization (Romans 16:3-4).
They can be seen as a perfect model. There are many cases like this where new believers receive grace and believe well. Rather, there are many cases where people have led a religious life for a long time but cannot understand the Word well. The reason is not that believing for a long time is a problem, but they actually lack the secret of prayer mentioned in Lecture 1. Therefore, they cannot enjoy the changing of their own fate. And they cannot experience that power of God being with them. Consequently, the future becomes more difficult. Lecture 1 is about changing fate, experiencing power, and confirming the future.
Evidence
Now, then, what kind of Word should we give to new believers? What is most necessary for a new believer is grasping evidence.
1) Those who failed (New Covenant)
I mentioned earlier that there are also three types of new believers; looking at occupation, quite many who failed come. There are cases where they try this and that, and when it doesn’t work, they realize the Gospel. Mostly, if you listen to testimonies, there are many situations where they built temples when they had much money and gave everything to the temples, and when it was gone, they came to church. Now, we must give an accurate message to these people.
(1) Genesis 12:1-3: God told Abraham to leave the region with the most idols. Leaving is not the issue; He said to go to the land I will show you. Receive God’s guidance completely—this is the message that must be given to new believers.
(2) Genesis 37:1-11: This is the covenant Joseph grasped while placed in extreme difficulty. Joseph was not a failure, but he was in the midst of great difficulty. And God gave many important answers in these extreme situations.
(3) Exodus 2:1-10: This is the covenant Jochebed grasped. In a state of complete death, she came to grasp an important covenant. Only when new believers are made to know these messages does proper prayer begin.
(4) 1 Samuel 1:9-11: In fact, before the greatest answer, even Hannah could not enjoy the answer before discovering this, but then she discovered it.
(5) 1 Kings 19:1-21: Even a person like Elijah said he was now ruined. For God, it was the beginning. Therefore, we must clearly let our new believers know that it is the start of your life.
(6) Daniel 1:8-9: When they were taken completely as captives—in a way, isn’t it a great failure? Because the nation was ruined. Knowing that, he made a resolution. If people like Daniel at that time thought, “We have succeeded, even so, it’s a relief,” and lived just to eat and survive in that way, it would have no meaning. He made a resolution.
(7) Acts 1:14, Acts 2:1-47: Therefore, the people placed in the most extreme situations were the people of Acts 1:14. God prepared the greatest thing. The start of that answer was Mark’s Upper Room. There are many people who come because they failed like this. You must not pass over this half-heartedly. You must grasp God’s sure new covenant. It won’t do if you cannot overcome this.
2) Successful people (Greater Covenant)
And looking in the Bible, and generally looking at new believers, successful people also come. You must surely let these people know the fact that there is a greater covenant.
(1) Psalm 78:70-72: For example, a person like David already was successful while being a shepherd as seen in Psalm 78:70-72, and he was grasping a greater covenant regarding the future.
(2) 1 Kings 18:1-15: There was difficulty, but still, in 1 Kings 18, church officers like Obadiah truly grasped a greater covenant. Therefore, if we become children of God, it means failure is not important and success is not important either.
(3) 1 Kings 19:19-21, 2 Kings 2:9-11, 2 Kings 6:8-24: Therefore, as for most successful people, in 1 Kings 19:19-21, Elisha is a successful person as a farmer. He threw all this away and saw something greater. It is appearing in 2 Kings 2:9-11. Then, he comes to unfold the Dothan movement, which is the true success and great covenant. It is unmistakably so. People thought it was a complete disaster, but it is not so. Therefore, even you who have led a religious life for a long time, and even you who are evangelists, if you fail, you become bound by that. Also, if you succeed, it is easy to understand it as if everything is done with that. And when choosing, you keep trying to do your own thing instead of God’s thing. Therefore, we don’t need to do that. We must know the fact that there is God’s greater covenant.
It’s not our denomination, but in a certain denomination, they fought so much to stubbornly establish their own son; they say it is serious even now. Even if the whole congregation says, “We must absolutely establish the pastor’s son,” you have to think about it. If there is opposition but they keep fighting to establish him, it’s very troublesome. If I were an elder, it might be different, but I am also a pastor. As a pastor, I mean, is there a need for that in the church? So one pastor asked me. “Pastor, all the session members keep telling me to establish my son; will it be okay?” if all the session members speak that way, there is nothing as biblical as that. Why? Because as a pastor’s son, he knows well. To establish him when all the session members oppose—there is nothing as unbiblical as that. That is understood. Why? Because they only saw the reality. If you look at reality, isn’t it so? If we establish our son, it’s a bit better; a bit of a realistic calculation is visible. Then how would a new believer judge? The judgment of the saints is predictable. They just judge according to their mood. If the mood is good, it’s good; if it’s not, it’s not—it must absolutely not be that way. The new covenant must be told to the new believer. There is a greater covenant. There is a new covenant more than the problem that came to you now, and there is a greater covenant more than the fact that you are in a bit of difficulty now—isn’t it certain?
3) The sick (Missionary)
Sick people come. Here, beyond the new covenant and the greater covenant, you must grasp, “God has established you as a missionary.” It is establishing the sick person as a witness who can do ministry.
(1) Acts 13:12: Now, what kind of thought would this governor, who saw darkness in that field of darkness, have had? At that time, as a governor, he was a person who could do as he pleased in that region, but this person received complete grace in the Gospel.
(2) Acts 16:16-18: This woman possessed by a demon, who was always used and suffered—what kind of work would have happened when she was healed?
(3) Acts 19:8-20: In Tyrannus, many sick people were healed of diseases that doctors could not cure, and this person was turned into a missionary. These parts must be told to new believers. Just because they are new believers doesn’t mean they don’t know; God’s grace exists much more greatly.
▣ Main Body
Therefore, I spoke of important prayer in Lecture 1. Simply put, it is changing the bartizan. Establish God’s bartizan—it’s a given.
1. 24 Hours – “Spiritual Summit / 777 / Bartizan”
Now, then, 24 is beginning; riding this flow—this is called becoming a spiritual summit. You are the spiritual summit who saves your lineage, and you are the spiritual summit who saves many people whom you knew in the field during that time. From now on, as for how to do this occupation: the skill summit and culture summit that follow the spiritual summit are bound to follow. Therefore, what blessing do you enjoy? You are the spiritual summit who enjoys this blessing (777). 24 means riding that rhythm; 24 means seeing that flow; being within that flow; seeing this blessing, this tremendous flow—that is the spiritual summit. This is called a bartizan. God’s bartizan has stood. The bartizan of the Throne has stood.
1) 3 Concentrations: Therefore, if you see this blessing from now on, start the 3 concentrations anew. When you open your eyes, it is God’s grace; when you sleep, it is God’s grace; all our lives are God’s grace!
2) 3 Settings: When it becomes that way, this is made within your occupation. It comes unmistakably. From then on, even if you clean, you succeed. A person of prayer named Shive succeeded by cleaning. A person named Wanamaker became the greatest entrepreneur by becoming a spiritual summit within this prayer.
3) 3 Answers: Then, this kind of occupation that changes everything comes out. That is the 3 answers.
2. 25 Hours – “Field Summit / 777 / Journey”
You must let them know clearly what God has prepared like this. You can even forget other things; if you just remember this: 24 does not mean praying without eating or sleeping; it means riding this important flow. It is seeing this. Then naturally, 25 comes. If this 25 comes, you surely become a field summit. You save the field. The reason is that you go on the journey with this. Because this journey is not done by my strength, I used the word 25.
1) Power of the Throne: This is called the power of the Throne.
2) Answer of the Kingdom: Wait. This is called the answer of the Kingdom of God descending.
3) Work – Fulfillment: This is called the answer where the works of the Kingdom of God are fulfilled. You have no choice but to become a field summit. You and we, while doing evangelism for 30–40 years, received many disputes and attacks, but we have never fought once. We are achieving a greater world evangelization. It is foolish. The Gospel is not blocked. Your ministry is not blocked. This Gospel is evidenced in any case. If a problem comes, it is evidenced more greatly.
3. Eternity – “World Summit / 777 / Guidepost”
What? You come to leave what is called eternity. You must speak here. This is called becoming the world summit promised by God. “I will be with you always with all authority in heaven and on earth,” “Go to all nations”—you must speak this clearly to new believers. It shouldn’t be too complicated. This is called establishing this guidepost of blessing—the bartizan/journey/guidepost that Jesus directly taught at the last. It is becoming the world summit. And from this time, there is an answer that comes—it’s certain.
1) Romans 16:25: Because you obtained the answer called eternity, this answer comes from this time. Even if you didn’t pray, you will see the answers God keeps bringing to you. Finally, God keeps bringing to you the Word that will be fulfilled. He keeps bringing to you the business that will be fulfilled. Therefore, since wars keep erupting, the tent occupation of the Priscilla couple works even better.
2) Romans 16:26: In every place you go, the things hidden, the eternal things, the things others cannot see are prepared in the places you go.
3) Romans 16:27: You come to enjoy the true answer of the Throne that will be for ever and ever, which is a more eternal blessing. This is the occupation a new believer will achieve.
▣ Conclusion: 300%
If it becomes this way, previously you competed. You won’t have to. The 300% answer comes. Every new believer must be this way. Every Remnant must be this way. Preparing this way is much easier. If you don’t prepare this way, it is impossible. Don’t I always say it? How easy it is. You must grasp the talent mission first; I thought, “I must do the evangelism movement properly.” I grasped that as a mission. Everyone would do it, but “I will only do the evangelism movement”—because I grasped that, unless I am a fool, there is what I did for 24 [hours], what is it? I only studied regarding evangelism. Because of this, what is visible? The Word is visible. “So that’s why,” therefore I prepared things regarding evangelism. So then every day—it wouldn’t be 365 days—but I entered the field almost every day. While receiving persecution inside and out, every day—what my wife said is right. “Other evangelists are not like that, why are only you like that?” Right! I should have finished quickly and gone home, but I went to the field again and came home late at night. The thing I am most thankful to President Chun Doo-hwan for is that he abolished the curfew. So I roamed around as I pleased. What this is, is that the field is clearly visible. This is 25. What is there that cannot be done? “What must be done in the future,” that is eternity. It means 100% regarding the future.
But what I was a bit flustered by: wherever I go after preparing, works occur. Just by going—I wondered what this was. If I enter one place, I cannot come out. Because people who accept keep arising—300%—you must surely let them know. Therefore, your 300% answer is prepared. Only when you receive this can you serve the church; only then can you help pastors; in a place where you don’t receive answers, you cannot serve the church—isn’t it so? You have to have it to serve; I’m saying this is much easier. From then on, habit—everything became this way. “I must do healing ministry”—from the moment I set my heart, I continued to study regarding healing. 24. But non-believers, though they are fake, are doing better. I saw that. 25. I saw the field. That is the journey. As expected, the answer is with God. Eternity—God says He will give this. It’s promised. Therefore, I can give the answer regarding healing. It’s much easier, isn’t it? You must surely take this blessing and deliver it to the church too, and you must do special things from now on. Just as I mentioned earlier, 40 days, Acts 2:42, Acts 2:46-47—just remember these. In my case, because I didn’t know how to do it well, I did 40 days continually. Every time I did it, something became visible. Therefore, I see that God answers accurately. To do it this way, there is something prepared. You must let them know the three things prepared.
1) Absolute Bartizan: While going and enjoying the bartizan, the absolute bartizan is visible. So as for what the absolute bartizan is, others say it is hard, but I could see what can be done. Especially when they say evangelism is that difficult, for me, the easiest thing when I go is evangelism. My personality is already not an evangelizing personality, you know? But this is visible. Along with that, He prepares disciples who do not change in every place you go.
2) Absolute Journey (Prepared): In every place you go, there is a prepared person. Is there anything else to our journey? This is the absolute journey.
3) Absolute Guidepost (Disciple): Finally, you establish a guidepost, and the absolute guidepost comes out. Of course, the prepared person is also a disciple, but a disciple who makes a true system appears.
Among those, the greatest is you all. Guidepost. Why? Because world evangelization will occur through you—you might not know it, but because it will occur through your posterity—it occurs through the Remnants you raised. The Remnants just don’t know it for a bit, but it occurs. In age after age, this kind of movement arose. This is not done by us; in age after age, God established the one who remained who completely realized the Gospel and did world evangelization—that is the word Remnant. In its accurate meaning, the word Remnant means the one who remained, and it means the one who was discarded. Both of those are used. We use the word remnant even when we eat food and a bit is left over. It is this remaining in the midst of death until the end. That word is Remnant. Therefore, in the Bible, it is an extremely important word. The one who remained—it’s the same word, but at times a traveler, at times of a bit of crisis the scattered ones, when a bit of a special thing happens the prepared ones, when it is more serious the hidden ones—that is all the word Remnant. Therefore, we don’t do some strange Bible interpretation saying it’s only for our special gathering. Every person who has the Gospel is the one who remained there. Therefore, what is the conclusion? You are the survivor [the one who survived] in your lineage—then what must you do in the future? You must develop power and become the one who remains [the one who stays]; then persecution will also come, but you become the one who will remain [the one who will stay] who changes the cultural sphere; what is more important is becoming the one who will leave [the one who will leave behind] who raises the posterity—this is Lecture 2.
Then, very importantly, why do churches fail? You must let them know. “I led a religious life for a long time, but why don’t I receive answers? Why is that? Tremendous churches in Europe began to close doors; why is that? I mean, doing world evangelization is a given, but why can we not do world evangelization and churches close doors?” You must give the answer. That is Lecture 3. Therefore, because it is important for new believers, you must first digest it and deliver it. I say it again. Utilize the Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. The word Friday-Saturday-Sunday age refers to time, and the word 3 Courts refers to the system. In fact, they are the same thing. Because you must make them actually possess it—that is the age of meditation. In fact, they are the same words. We will rest for about 10 minutes, but even during the 10 minutes, you must obtain many answers while praying. I hope it becomes a time to restore health and obtain many answers.
I will do it in 10 minutes.
