Scripture Reading: Psalm 78:70-72
「Second Mission – RT Military Missions Preparation 24, 25, eternity Team」
Let us look at another important matter in the Bible. This is the second mission you will receive. Remnants must prepare for military missions. Each case can be different. There are conscripted soldiers who go by obligation, and there are all kinds of professions. You must prepare to match that. For this, now a 24, 25, eternity team must arise. Only then is it easy.
So this is our remnants’ military missions preparation. That is the title. Then how did he prepare? David prepared the best.
1. Psalms 78:70-72
At this time, he was already prepared. Having been a shepherd in his youth, he had been prepared regarding “in the future…,” regarding being a soldier.
1) Faith and skill
Here he acquired faith and skill. It must not be only skill. He acquires faith and acquires skill.
2) Spirituality and intellect
Here he already acquired spirituality and intellect, together.
3) Shepherd – king
Here, while he was a shepherd, what would make him king was prepared. If you read Psalms 78, that appears. From tending the sheep, it came out to tending the nation.
2. 1 Samuel 16:1-13
Samuel came to David one day. And he laid hands on him in prayer. From then on, what happened?
1) Moved by the Spirit of the LORD
He began to be moved by the Spirit of the LORD. This is 24, 25, and eternity. He became moved by the Spirit of the LORD. One may pray in order to do something, but it is that by praying one gains strength and with that does the work.
2) Anointing
At that time he was anointed with oil. This is extremely important. Today our three will receive ordination as elders. They will be installed, right? That is called being anointed with oil. You must know the meaning of this—being anointed with oil. The high priest Samuel came and anointed David with oil. It meant, “You will be king in the future.”
3) Status – authority (23)
From that time, what happened? The evil spirit that had attached itself to King Saul departed when there was praise. It is not only that there is the status of becoming a child of God; authority comes forth. As for me, when do I pray most importantly? I do in everyday life, but I do much during worship when singing hymns. Why? Only then can I audibly make sound, right? While praising—though I sing hymns, I can also pray. It becomes imprinted. Our prayers spoken out loud are imprinted in the brain, imprinted in the soul, and imprinted before the throne. At that time, because of David, the evil spirit was driven out.
So, the preparation has been made exactly like this. Remnants, prepare for military missions now from your youth. This team—the 24, 25, eternity team—must arise. When there is such a good leader. Since you are going to the army anyway, even if you “just go and come back from the army,” should you not go with strength and with the answer? For those who say, “I will become a career soldier,” all the more this must be prepared. That team must be organized from the outset. I hope you will raise such a team. If you begin to pray, it will come forth.
3. 1 Samuel 17:1-47
Now many who are raising children will be listening to the message. While your children are serving in the military, tremendous things become imprinted. Good things are imprinted, but very bad things are also imprinted. At such a crossroads, when such a team exists, they must already receive such training and go with the message. What do I mean? At this time, David already had the message.
1) Crisis
A great crisis came upon Israel. It does not matter. He went carrying the answer. Prayer is not “to go and then find the answer.” He goes carrying the answer already.
2) Errand
At this time, his father sent him on an errand. “Be sure to take this and bring back a token,” he said. That means, “Be sure to go and come back.” Should he not say, “If it is dangerous, come back”? But he said, “Be sure to go and come back.” As he went, he heard it—the words of Goliath insulting the LORD. There he made a resolution: to fight. It was finished.
3) Goliath
Thus, as you know, he immediately struck down this Goliath. Why? He was already prepared. He was prepared in throwing stones, and everything was prepared. The covenant was all prepared. Remnants must be like this. Please believe. There are things you must do, and there are things you must believe. We cannot be saved by what we do. Therefore we must believe—the covenant. There are things to do. David prayed and practiced throwing stones. He did—but actually winning the battle is in God’s hand. You must always remember this.
[ Start ]
Answers came, a crisis came—none of that is the end; it is the start. You must always keep this in mind. Before that, what is it?
The LORD [ Shepherd ]
“The LORD is my shepherd.” This must come first. Therefore there is nothing lacking. There is nothing more needed—because the LORD is my shepherd. This means he actually enjoyed this. That is why this comes forth, like this. He said this while he was a shepherd. Later, it is an expression right in the midst of crisis: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil.” It is not that he wrote poetry in the abstract. He wrote it in the midst of death. It is the start. Let us pray.
Prayer. We give thanks to God. Let this be the time to firmly hold to the mission God gives. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
