Prayer Journal: October 7, 2025
11. Jan. 2025 Core Training Service
This year, we must receive many new answers. Also, our pastors must prepare for what they actually need to do during the three-day weekend age. Our remnants, too, must confirm what they absolutely need to do during the three-day weekend age. And our pastors and church leaders must each take time to confirm this. To do that, let’s ask a few questions.
Fortune-telling, exorcism (affliction – spirit possession) – [Nephilim]
Right now, many unbelievers—and even many believers—go to fortune-telling because life is so difficult and they don’t know what to do. They go because they don’t know their future. This, by itself, might seem harmless, but since they are unbelievers, many of them secretly perform exorcism rituals. Then spiritual problems keep coming upon them.
What our pastors must remember is that these people are not doing exorcisms for fun. There are far too many who are truly afflicted. We cannot simply say, “They are mentally ill.” Because the affliction and hardship are so great, mental problems follow. Without realizing it, such people keep performing exorcisms while heading further into destruction.
At the same time, what is happening worldwide is this: people are being told to receive spirit possession. This is extremely widespread now.
Also, many entertainers and public figures are greatly afflicted—through panic disorder, depression, and various other ways. There are many cases. So this year, pastors must set their hearts and take action.
To put it simply, these people have become Nephilim. Unless they come out of this, they can never be healed.
Cancer – Disease, mental illness
Then they end up with various cancers, many diseases, or are tormented by mental illness. So this year, our pastors must use the three-day weekend age to help resolve this. Please do it—you are fully able. What should be done? I will say a little about that.
Believers without answers
There are also many believers who have not received answers. They may not go to fortune-tellers, but they live at the same troubled level, thinking, “What should I do?” There are many such people.
Studies (300%)
And in reality, our remnants find their studies very difficult. They worry about it; it weighs on them. In fact, they have the strength to overcome it, and it’s nothing, yet they suffer so much. To give the answer first: if you properly do this (300%), it’s over—but they keep worrying and acting like that. It’s the same for those engaged in work: if they do this, it will work, but they are not doing it.
With students and remnants, I deal with this at retreats. I actually check these things.
[Satan’s bartizan (Me) | 12 Lords (Bartizan), Root (Journey), Nature (Guidepost)]
Amazingly, within human beings there are twelve of Satan’s bartizans that have entered without our knowing. Because they have been imprinted, they have become bartizans. Isn’t this frightening? And then they gradually take root. Having taken root, they must go on Satan’s journey—the journey of darkness.
Later, without even realizing it, it becomes their nature—this becomes Satan’s guidepost. We must check these one by one with the Word.
The scariest part is where it starts: it starts from me. So no matter how long one has walked the life of faith, if one cannot escape this bartizan, one knows nothing but oneself. You cannot even have a conversation. Is that not so? Do your conversations go well? Such a person knows only themselves. Satan knows that, and because one knows only oneself, he grabs hold of that. So this year pastors must heal this illness in the members. If we do not heal this, it will not do. Satan digs in by exploiting the fact that I know only myself: “You are the best.” Even without saying “I am the best,” he makes you think, “It’s all about you.” That is Genesis 3.
Then, once you know only yourself, without realizing it you become Nephilim. Isn’t that frightening? It is not only some people—practically everyone becomes like that. Because one is caught in this, one does not know what problem will come next. Such problems keep coming.
So with the remnants, we need to check these one by one. And for our church leaders, there is no need to do it together—come alone to church during the three-day weekend age and, in such a place, hold onto the Word and dig in.
As I prayed alone, I found there was much of Satan’s bartizan I had to throw away—truly much. This must be done. When this happens, even illnesses are healed. Because what is weak and what is wrong have been imprinted in me, things do not work.
[God’s bartizan – 7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts]
Next, we must absolutely do the second thing. Change it into God’s bartizan. If only this is done, it is enough.
In the past—he has now passed away—there was a man whom even our members often went to. He healed things like cancers that hospitals could not heal. I never went, but I heard people stood in line. An elderly man did this. In fact, some of our church members went and received help. I saw witnesses. They were at the point of death but returned healed after going there. There may be various methods, but he had one characteristic. Though a bit risky, it was correct. He made the person sweat profusely and thereby changed something—he changed what had been imprinted. If what has been imprinted in the body is changed, such things happen. All the more in spiritual matters—there is no need even to say it.
So with our remnants, whether by making the three-day weekend age or by holding gatherings, we must confirm the Word. When our remnants confirm the Word in the morning, in a quiet time—at church, at a prayer retreat center, or such places—tremendous works arise. Some people who record the Word in a quiet time are practically healed from mental illness. Recording is powerful. Some are healed while memorizing the Word. What does this mean? It means what was imprinted in the brain has been reversed.
How important is God’s bartizan? While confirming the 7 bartizans one by one, pray so that they are imprinted. While confirming the 7 journeys one by one, pray. This you must do.
[Trinity – John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13, Acts 1:3–8 (300%)]
Then the third thing comes. This is even more important. From this point on, there is no need to ask, “What should I do in the future?” Our church does not need to worry, “What should we do?” A sure answer has already come. You can see it. From this point it appears.
God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit work precisely—by the Word, by prayer, by the Holy Spirit, by the work of salvation.
So Jesus said, “I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who will be with you forever.”
“He will remind you of all things.”
In John 16:13, “He will tell you what is yet to come.” It is clearly so.
Then finally, explaining the throne, He said, “When the Holy Spirit comes upon you”—I see this fullness as 300%—“you will receive power and be My witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
Now, when the answer has clearly come, my plan becomes unnecessary. Is that not so? That is what this means. That is why the seven remnants had no personal plan. Why? There was no need. When God’s blessing comes upon the elders’ work, there is no need to set it aside and ask, “What shall we do?” This is everything. Because God’s blessing is not seen, people ask, “What shall we do?”
Even if the session gathers, if God’s plan is clear, then no matter how foolish, one will say, “Ah, this is God’s plan!” But because it is not seen, the stubborn reveal their stubbornness. It cannot be helped; one’s own will emerges because God’s is not seen. No matter how dull-witted a person may be, if they clearly see God’s plan, they do not insist on their own way. We say, “That person is so stubborn.” That person is strong in self because God’s plan is not seen.
(RT 7)
Even when remnants receive God’s blessing and see it, there is no reason for them to wander. The seven remnants are representative of this.
Thus Joseph said only one thing: “The Lord was with me.” “The Lord is with you.” The most important words. “The Lord is with the king.” There is nothing more to say. He gave the answer. All seven remnants were like this.
When Moses said, “I will do it,” nothing worked though he waited eighty years. When he realized that God would do it, history began at age eighty. That is this third point (Trinity – John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13, Acts 1:3–8).
If this does not take place, it is the state of an unbeliever—or one is an unbeliever. There are too many unbelievers; because so many are in the unbeliever’s state, even in the church they fight, contending for their opinions. It cannot be helped. No one has a prayer topic, “I will go to church to fight.” Yet because things are not seen and become confusing, they fight. The other party’s claim looks strange, so one asserts one’s own.
“Find the answer first, and thanksgiving is restored.”
No matter how great the hardship, if you are within this blessing, you first see the answer. So when you first find the answer, what springs forth sincerely? Thanksgiving is restored. Even when a problem comes, thanksgiving is restored. This is today’s theme.
But if you do not know these parts (Satan’s bartizan, God’s bartizan, Trinity), then no matter how long you try, it will not work. So this year, by any means, use Friday–Saturday–Sunday—not to hold yet another rally, but, for example, on Friday mainly minister to the sick—so that this can be changed. You will be surprised. When you do church on Friday, Saturday, Sunday, do not make it like a conference; open the Word and confirm it. The pastor reads to them; have them read; read together. We truly make light of the working of the Word. It is not so. This is everything.
When you hold these three (Satan’s bartizan, God’s bartizan, Trinity) by the Word, look at the remnants. Look at David. Though he suffered so much, he said he lacked nothing. Why? “Because the Lord is my Shepherd.” Whenever a crisis came, evidences that God was with David appeared, so he was not shaken. “Ah! Truly the Lord is my Shepherd! He is my refuge!” That is how it becomes.
This blessing we must restore this year. If this is not so, we are not Christians—we are religionists. When religionists gather, nothing is accomplished. Religion receives disaster. We have the Gospel that removes disaster. This year we must never, never lose hold of it.
Associate pastors in each part must do this with the people in your part. What did I do? Before I came here, when I was an associate pastor, I was in charge of the young adults. We went to a retreat. I said, “Eliminate every program. Nothing to do. Do not schedule any program. In the day and in the night, we will only confirm the Word. Why not in the morning? Get up as you will. Pray through the night; forum through the night; then rest comfortably. Do not gather in the morning to nod off. You need not even eat breakfast. Sleep to your fill and come up.” We confirmed the Word.
What is written in the Word? “Are you truly saved? Confirm it.” “Am I now enjoying within me this blessing (God’s bartizan—7 bartizans, 7 journeys, 7 guideposts)?” If so, this stage (Trinity – John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13, Acts 1:3–8) comes. The doors of evangelism open, and you see them.
All the answers come out. Why must we build the temple? The three courtyards—the answer has come out. “What will happen to our denomination in the future?” No need for vain, idle talk. Restore evangelism. God’s answers are all revealed. Not people who love positions, but people who will proclaim the Gospel; not those who play politics and scheme, but people who will proclaim the Gospel; people who must revive the church; churches that raise disciples who can save the 5000 tribes; churches that call and teach them. What must we teach? If we do not teach these (Satan’s bartizan, God’s bartizan, Trinity), it is all in vain. You must put this in your heart.
Already, precious multiethnic people have come, but they remain caught in Satan’s bartizan. Covering that up and saying, “Attend church; just believe in Jesus,” will not do. By the Word, you must escape and cast off the bartizan. “Ah! So that’s it!” From then, prayer takes place. Prayer begins together with the Word. From then, you see this (Trinity – John 14:16, 14:26, 16:13, Acts 1:3–8). Then go that way. It is finished.
So Jesus said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me. Do not be troubled, for the background of the throne is with you.” And then He said this (John 14:16): “I will send you the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, who will be with you forever—within you.” Paul, who realized even one step further, said, “You are God’s temple.” Why? “Because God’s Spirit dwells in you.” It is to that degree. Who could overcome this? They cannot.
If you are praying holding onto these (Satan’s bartizan, God’s bartizan, Trinity), all answers come. That’s enough. Do this. Therefore, before our precious remnants go out, what has been hammered into their brains must be changed. Without their knowing, over ten-plus or twenty-plus years, what the world has given has been hammered in. It is already imprinted. If we were to call that “Satan’s bartizan,” how unpleasant would that be? They themselves must confirm by the Word. “Ah! So that’s it!” Then, when this is changed, studies are done well and works arise. Prayer is done well—so it goes. Of course, even without believing in Jesus, one can study well—but that brings problems to the brain. That is why many at Harvard become mentally ill. At Seoul National University, do they not say several a month jump? It is only that not all of it comes out in the news. At KAIST, they jump. Why jump from high buildings? That is the situation now. That is everything.
So pastors, think carefully and be sure to think, “How shall I apply this in ministry?” When I went to the young adults, there were no programs—comfortable. We only confirmed the Word. Not merely writing notes, but confirming and seeing it all, like this. How much grace did we receive? When we finished—normally at the end of a retreat, you are tired and go home—but these people, without being told, all went to the church. They prayed all night. I had not told them to. When the young adults truly came to life, at all-night prayer almost all were young adults—nearly all. To speak a bit boldly, ninety percent. How trained were they? They all gave tithe. They all gave mission offerings. They did not miss worship.
Once, I told you earlier, a department head from Samhwa Corporation came looking for me. Why? “A situation has arisen in which we must work on Sunday.” “We must keep a promise with a foreign partner, and if we do not work now, we cannot.” But the several hundred skilled workers who did this work were all young adults of Dongseong Church. He calculated, “If the pastor speaks, it will be fine.” “What should I say?” I asked. He said, “Please let them not come to church this Sunday and work.” It sounded reasonable: it was to keep a promise and ship overseas; it had to be finished that night. But I answered, “If they themselves decide to work, there is no helping it, but I cannot say, ‘Do not come to worship; go to work.’” “Still, please just say a word,” he said. I could not. Yet, while I lectured, I hinted at it. The young adults all offered Sunday worship first; after finishing, they went and worked all night and finished it all. So our church had a good reputation at that company. Now they even send us people. Hundreds of young adults rose there.
There is also a young adult retreat, and as things stand now, our young adults are everything. When young adults live, the church lives. Why? Unlike the elderly, they have the future. We must absolutely find this answer.
Now, looking at the Bible, let’s see Joseph.
1. Family problem
Are family problems truly problems?
1) Wounds
Ninety-nine percent of people carry the wounds from family problems for life—forever.
2) Vision
But for Joseph, these wounds became an enormous vision. Is that not the vision seen in Genesis 37?
2. Egypt – Secret (Economy)
Thus he went to Egypt. As you know, there was a secret in going to Egypt.
237–5000
In a word, why Egypt? Because there were the 237 nations and the 5000 tribes there. God sent him precisely there. And he could not go to just any house. He had to go to the house of the captain of the guard—and as a slave. As a slave, he could enter easily, even without a visa. Back then, slaves were treated as goods. Even now, when you carry goods in, the goods do not need a visa. You are carrying them. So slaves were simply goods. Thus he went.
3. Prison – Politics
There he came to prison. As you know, there he learned politics. In Potiphar’s house he fully learned economics. And in the prison he came to meet ministers.
4. World evangelization
Then he became the governor and carried out world evangelization. This is the answer.
In fact, these (Main points 1–3) are correct but not the important thing. They are natural. The success of remnants is natural. The miracle of the Red Sea is not a miracle—it is natural before God. Jericho’s collapse? Natural.
▣ Conclusion
So what conclusion do we reach?
1. Upper Room
From now on, restore what is in the Bible: make an evangelism-centered Upper Room. This is a different matter.
There is no need to gather meaninglessly every day or every week—that is a waste of time. If you listen well to the pastor’s church message, why go elsewhere to listen? The Core message and all the messages are given—why go only to hear a message? No.
When there is something to evangelize, do the Upper Room targeted to that point. You must do it that way.
2. Team ministry
Do the Upper Room in line with team ministry.
3. MH
For those who need healing, do a Mission Home.
4. Specialized ministry
In the workplace there are surely people prepared. Do not evangelize in a wrong way. “Specialized ministry” means meeting the prepared people within the workplace. Do not miss this.
5. Regional church
A regional church is where disciples gather. It must be only for evangelism. Because people do not understand regional church, they try to make many—this is because they do not know. A regional church does not need money or facilities. A regional church must be only for evangelism.
You must understand these words. If my clique, our clique, or a faction’s clique enters, they make something—and that hinders evangelism. Understand this. It must be only for evangelism.
You must quickly restore this. This year, pastors, restore it.
“When I invite my friend today, I must evangelize that person”—that is the Upper Room. “Today we will invite many acquaintances and have a gathering”—that is the Upper Room. In this way, begin the Upper Room, team ministry, Mission Home, specialized church, and regional church that carry the professionalism of evangelism.
