Church Construction Devotional Service
「A Church That Will Continue What Is Eternal」
Acts 2:41-47
41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day.
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles.
44 All the believers were together and had everything in common.
45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.
46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,
47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Summary
▷ Evangelists must always remember this. Why do we say to keep praying and worshiping? Our thoughts are bound to be fulfilled one day. Our thoughts become a bartizan connected to the throne. For some people, because it is not the covenant, it connects to darkness, to hell.
▷ 50, 60 years ago, our nation’s leaders thought wrongly. “We must not have too many children.” So they kept teaching this. “Don’t distinguish between sons and daughters, have only two.” So now, decades later, elementary schools across the entire country, in the countryside and even in the cities, have started closing down. This is a serious problem. We must pray for our nation. Ideology. Therefore, the older we get, the harder our circumstances become, we must hold onto the covenant and keep praying continually.
▷ The fulfillment of the word does not simply happen. Every day 24—this means that when God’s word becomes a bartizan for you and connects to the throne, things happen that we cannot handle. One day the prayers of people like Jochebed began to be fulfilled. Egypt faced something it absolutely could not handle. And so most of those who wandered in the wilderness died there. But those who realized that the word had been fulfilled held onto the covenant. Through those people Canaan was conquered. The prayers, thoughts, ideas, and words that you carry all become a bartizan.
“A Temple to Sustain What Is Eternal” (Acts 2:41-47)
Christ (Throne)
Christ completed everything and gave his message for 40 days on Mt Olive.
Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost
The bartizan concerning the throne. You are the bartizan. You carry that and go into the world. The journey. This is setting up a guidepost that no one can change. If you keep praying about this, something emerges. In the morning I must restore everything. Hard things happen during the day. You need to confirm the blessing. At night, 300% is formed. A watchman needs a bartizan. This is a peculiar bartizan, a moving bartizan carrying out world evangelization. Bartizans like this are set up everywhere else too. A guidepost. Keep going like this, and “only” appears within the word in the Remnant’s studies, in your work. Then it’s settled.
OUR – Then this (OUR) comes to the Remnant. This is the fulfillment of the word, it is 300%. Once it becomes “only,” uniqueness naturally follows. Then you are able to do what others cannot do. Re-creation.
WIO – If you keep praying about this, you always come to feel it. “Ah, God is with me.” “God is working through Immanuel in my studies, in my work. All that has happened before was God’s plan.”
AWH – Here, “Always” appears. Always with me. And I must Heal myself, many people, and the world. That is 300%.
HTE – Then your prayer connects to the throne. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally.
24, 25, 00 – The time of the Remnant and of the spiritual emperor is 24, 25, eternity. This must happen.
As this happens, before building the temple, church restoration must come first. Church restoration must happen for the restoration of the church building to happen.
▣ Int._ Mission
Before church restoration, there is a mission Christ has given.
1. Forum When appointing elders and important workers, we must hold a forum on whether this mission is truly right for me.
2. Confirm After the forum, I must confirm my mission so that the pastor and others know it too.
3. Festival When the mission has been completely determined, a festival must break out. This is what Jesus did for 40 days.
▣ Main._ Church
That’s why church restoration must come before temple restoration.
1. Mission is completely restored.
1) Acts 1:14 “They joined together constantly in prayer.” This means, “It’s over now, I need nothing but this, nothing else matters, even death doesn’t matter.” Their mission was this certain.
2) Acts 2:1-4 “When the day of Pentecost came.” The blessings of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles came at the same time.
3) Acts 2:9-11 At this time you can see the many nations gathering.
4) Acts 2:17-18 At this time God showed the future with certainty.
5) Acts 2:41 At this time three thousand disciples arose.
2. Worship
The purpose of the church is worship. Chapter 2, verse 42.
1) Words “They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching”—following the flow of God’s word. That is the most important thing.
2) Fellowship “and to fellowship.” This is extremely important.
Elders look extremely precious to me. When you look at the Remnant, you must stake your life on it. Even the most unpromising Remnant shows hope. No matter how powerless an older person from the established generation may seem, God’s mystery is within that person.
3) Bread “and to the breaking of bread.” This is salvation.
4) Prayer “and to prayer.” You must know that it has to be this way. Without this power I cannot save myself, and I cannot save the world. We must restore this first.
3. Offering
What is it that you devote yourselves and give offerings for?
1) Light The economy of light
2) World A mission economy that completely saves the world
3) RT It turns into a Remnant economy.
▣ Con._ Temple
This is church restoration. So why build the temple?
– 3 Ages
There must be a facility to open the 3 Ages. Now many peoples and Remnant, and people from around the world who need healing, need to gather. There must be a temple where they can gather. There must be a place for children to come and play freely, talk freely, pray freely, and find themselves and find their way. It also needs to be where the age of meditation that saves the world is opened. When the word fills up one day, things happen that we cannot handle.
Rev. 8:3-5
When your prayers fill the throne, that is when things begin to happen. God showed us that not a single one of your prayers falls to the ground, but all are gathered here. This time we are sitting here is the moment the bartizan rises. This blessing cannot be blocked by anyone. That is the evidence of history. On the day this is fulfilled, it cannot be stopped. The highway is being built right now. Here we are making important preparations.
Transcript
Evangelists who came from abroad or who are returning to their home countries must always remember this. Why do I keep telling you to pray and worship? Because our thoughts will one day be fulfilled. If you casually think this way but don’t have a firm covenant mindset, then when it is one day fulfilled, it will start to collapse. Did you see the 101-year-old elder praying? This person has always been attuned to the flow of the word. Now over 100 years old, when it comes to taking notes on the message, she takes notes with such focus—you can tell. She’s not just writing casually. She writes with real focus, like this. She’s healthy. And she never misses the message. That day, too, she happened to be talking about her own breathing device for her health, and she’d already heard that once and it had stuck with her. Even past 100 years old, she moves without any trouble at all with her health. When we get older and lose all our wits and just fumble around, we ourselves suffer and others suffer too. Right?
So your thoughts become a bartizan. That connects to the throne. For some people, because that is not covenant, it connects to darkness, to hell. This becomes such an overwhelming thing that it becomes unbearable. Let me give an example. 50, 60 years ago, our nation’s leaders got something wrong. What did they get wrong? They thought we shouldn’t have too many children. It was a truly dangerous thought, but “We must not have too many children”—this was the leaders’ thinking at the time. So they kept educating people this way. Did I have children when I was in elementary school? When I was in elementary school it was posted on the wall. On the school wall. What did it say? “Don’t distinguish between sons and daughters, have only two.” So this went on for decades. Now it has burst like a dam breaking. We can’t handle it. It will take a long time to educate people and recover from this. Now, all across the country, in the countryside and even in the cities, elementary schools have started closing down. This is a serious problem.
And there is something else we must pray for our nation about—ideology. When this reaches capacity one day, it turns into a huge accident. People truly don’t understand the spiritual world, so they act carelessly. We have two ideologies fighting each other in our country. When one day both sides reach full capacity, it becomes a massive catastrophe. That is proof. It’s true of every war that has happened throughout history. Something strange erupts. It’s not that Hitler suddenly woke up one day and started killing people. His ideology had been growing within him for a long time before it erupted. The fulfillment of the word doesn’t happen just like that. Every 24—this means that when God’s word becomes a bartizan for you and connects to the throne, things happen that we cannot handle. One day, the prayers of people like Jochebed began to be fulfilled. And so Egypt faced something it absolutely could not handle. Hardly anyone sees that as the fulfillment of the word. So it happens through people who believe the word, but people who don’t believe the word don’t retain it in their minds even when they hear it. And so when a great answer comes, they can’t handle it. Unable to bear it, they wander in the wilderness and die—that is most of them. But those who realized that the word had been fulfilled held onto the covenant. Through those people Canaan was conquered. You must remember this.
The prayers, thoughts, ideas, and words that you carry all become a bartizan. If you just live carelessly without covenant, then one day it becomes a bartizan too, and you simply collapse completely. Especially, I think that the older I get, the more I need to pray properly. Like that elder, the older you get, the more you need to hold onto the covenant. That’s why our young Remnant came to pray at this Remnant conference.
“A Temple to Sustain What Is Eternal” (Acts 2:41-47)
What you must hold onto today is that you must build an eternal temple. Right? A temple to sustain what is eternal. So the Remnant must remember this this time. Members, you must start now. You must become a bartizan, I’m telling you.
[ Christ (Throne) ]
Christ completed everything and gave his message on Mt Olive. And to make that absolutely certain, he gave it over 40 days. Right?
[ Bartizan, Journey, Guidepost ]
What did he give? He gave the bartizan concerning the throne. This is the message he gave. You are the bartizan, the bartizan. You carry that and go into the world. The journey. This is setting up a guidepost that no one can change. This is what Jesus said. Now, if you keep praying about this, what comes out? How wonderful is this? In the morning, shouldn’t I be restoring everything? You enjoy that. During the day there are many hard things. You need to confirm the blessing. Right? You enjoy that. At night, it’s not made all at once. It gets made. 300% gets made. The Remnant should take this—for me, it happened to come out as 7 things. You don’t have to follow exactly what I did. That was the answer I received. I only said it so I could stand as a witness—you don’t have to do it exactly the same way. What is clear is that a watchman must have a bartizan. And ours is a peculiar bartizan, I’m telling you, a moving bartizan that carries out world evangelization. It sets up such bartizans everywhere else too, doesn’t it? A guidepost. Keep going like this, and what comes to the Remnant’s studies, to your work? One thing comes precisely. One thing Jesus said comes precisely. “Only” appears within the word. Then it’s over. This has to be seen. I saw this 40 years ago. “Church members don’t know how to pray. The church doesn’t know how to evangelize.” I confirmed this with certainty. That is what I held onto.
[ OUR ]
Then something important comes to the Remnant. What comes? This comes, I’m telling you. This is the fulfillment of the word. This is 300%. Once “only” comes, uniqueness naturally follows, doesn’t it? Then you’re able to do what others cannot do. Re-creation. This wasn’t done overnight—it’s an evangelistic movement that came out of the prayers of dozens of elders and servants of the Lord gathered together. So when you see this, and when the Remnant sees this, they say the fulfillment of the word, 300%.
[ WIO ]
If you keep praying about this, you always come to feel it. “Ah, God is with me.” There’s nothing more wonderful than this. “In my studies, in my work, God is working through Immanuel. All that has happened before was God’s plan.” This becomes visible. Once it becomes like this, you are enjoying prayer. Remnant, even five minutes in the morning would be enough, but you don’t even do that. For me, setting a fixed time is hard. I suppose that’s just my personality. Setting a specific time—that doesn’t work well for me. So for me, I keep going from the moment I wake up until I meet you all. I keep doing this (7·7·7) through prayer. Then 300% is bound to come out in your work. The Remnant, while preparing for their studies, will see 300% like Bill Gates. If this doesn’t happen, your life really becomes a hardship. “How do I study? How do I get a job? What do I do?” I found being alive itself to be suffering. I saw that in my parents. Going to church and watching the adults, I thought, that life is suffering. This life of faith itself is suffering. Isn’t that so? I clearly came to realize this. That life, that life is suffering. Always no money. How can we do world missions like that? People who have completely missed this. 300%.
[ AWH ]
What comes out here? Ah, it’s not about whether you should enjoy this blessing or not. It’s Always. Right? That’s exactly right. This is always with me. And I must Heal myself, many people, and the world. Starting tomorrow is the PK, MK retreat—this is a word I gave to the PK and MK kids. The PK and MK couldn’t match our organization’s name, so I said, “Make it Always With.” That is Healing. This is 300%.
[ HTE ]
Then, when you keep praying, what happens? It connects to the throne. Eternally. That’s why I keep emphasizing that you should keep singing. Thronely. No, wait. Heavenly, Thronely, Eternally. I’m sorry to our grandmothers, but because there are foreigners here, I’m writing it in English like this now. Please understand. But our deaconesses catch it all by spiritual insight.
[ 24, 25, 00 ]
Then someone who is truly receiving an answer doesn’t ask, “When should I do it?” Right? People who truly pray don’t ask, “How should I pray? Where should I pray?” That doesn’t exist for them. Anyone who asks that doesn’t know how to pray. The time of the Remnant and of the spiritual emperor is 24, 25, eternity. Right? This has to happen.
As this happens, the temple is two things. Church restoration must come before building the temple. Right? Church restoration must happen for the restoration of the church building to happen. We are the church, and you are the church—this must be restored for the temple to be properly established.
▣ Int._ Mission
Before church restoration, there is something Christ gave us. Something given so that we can act each time we meet. What was first given? The mission was given, wasn’t it? Mission was given.
1. Forum
When appointing important elders and workers going forward, nothing else is needed. Is this mission truly mine—that’s it. It requires a forum. When Jewish people come of age, they don’t just say, “I will do this in the future,” “I will do it this way,” and have it accepted like that. No. Experts gather and review it. If the experts say, “You’re not the one,” then that’s it. If they say, “You’re the one,” then that’s it. That is their coming-of-age ceremony. This is why we lose to them—we can never beat the Jews on this. We must hold a forum.
2. Confirm
And then what? After the forum, the pastor also knows, others also know, “Ah, this is my mission”—it must be confirmed. It has to be confirmed. This is what the early church did. So many church leaders are appointed, and yet nothing this precious is ever given to them—not a single thing. And because this blessing at the outset is not being enjoyed, most members, without a position or place within the church, feel they can do nothing. Having a position isn’t given so that I can go there as a witness—it’s for me to be devoted there as a witness. It’s not about the position. In our church, some elders have no position or place of their own at all, and that’s perfectly fine. Why? Because they are enjoying this instead.
3. Festival
And when the mission is completely determined, a festival must break out. The early church was like that, I’m telling you. This is what Jesus did over 40 days. So an answer is bound to come.
▣ Main._ Church
That’s why church restoration must come before temple restoration.
▣ Con._ Temple
After this, the conclusion is temple restoration. Right? Because people need to gather. Because there needs to be a place to gather.
▣ Main._ Church
1. Mission
Now, as this all comes together, what happens first? Truly, this mission became completely restored. What happened?
1) Acts 1:14
“They joined together constantly in prayer.” This means it’s over now. This is all I need. That’s how it became. Everything else, even death, doesn’t matter, doesn’t need to matter. If we gather here we might die—that doesn’t matter either. That’s how certain the mission was. Of course an answer comes.
2) Acts 2:1-4
The greatest answer. “When the day of Pentecost came.” The blessings of Passover, Pentecost, and the Feast of Tabernacles came at the same time.
3) Acts 2:9-11
At this time you can see the many nations gathering, I’m telling you.
4) Acts 2:17-18
At this time God clearly revealed the future. The Remnant only need to hold onto the word. You don’t need an answer right now. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.” That’s right. He clearly showed the future. This must be restored first. If missionaries who come from abroad don’t get to enjoy this blessing, they suffer their whole lives. Suffering their whole lives. It’s fine if you suffer because too many answers came, but it’s hard when you suffer from too few answers coming.
5) Acts 2:41
At this time three thousand disciples arose. This number isn’t just a number. This was something that shouldn’t have been possible at all. And yet three thousand disciples arose. I believed this from the very first time I came here. Why? Because I believed disciples like this would rise up. So it’s not courage—our calling requires other people to come. So a place of this scale is absolutely necessary. Please pray for Eddie. There’s a bit of a legal matter in Korea, but I’m not the one who’s saying this—he’s the one who asked me. “Pastor, I’m going to make money doing this and that—what should I do for world evangelization?” I don’t usually talk much about things related to us. “Do you really want to? Will you listen to what I say?” That’s what I said. He said he would. “Then you don’t need anything else. Build the 3 Ages memorial hall in Busan. Devote yourself to that. And you just need one place to send the 237, 5,000 tribes. That can be done from America.” You have to have real spiritual insight. Then this answer becomes visible. All the hardships you’ve all gone through until now must become the foundation of the answer.
2. Worship
Worship is beginning to be restored. The purpose of the church is worship. That’s chapter 2, verse 42.
1) Words
“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching”—what is that? Isn’t that God’s word? It’s not learning from the apostles. It’s following the flow of God’s word. That is the most important thing there is.
2) Fellowship
“and to fellowship,” it says. This is extremely important. Because I truly know salvation and the gospel, and the blessing of evangelism, when I look at these elders, they seem so precious to me. Truly. When you look at the Remnant, you have to stake your life on it. Even the most unpromising Remnant shows hope. That’s right. No matter how powerless an older person from the established generation may seem, God’s mystery is within that person. “Fellowship”—we’re not doing this well.
3) Bread
“and to the breaking of bread”—breaking bread refers to communion. It’s talking about bread. This is salvation.
4) Prayer
And it’s not just that. “They devoted themselves entirely to prayer.” Same idea. “Constantly devoted.” “Only.” Same word. That doesn’t mean stubbornly refusing everything else. It’s knowing that it has to be this way. Without this power I cannot save myself, and I cannot save the world. We must restore this first.
3. Offering
What, in the end, is your act of devotion and giving offerings? What is this giving?
1) Light
This becomes the economy of light. Right? This came up today, didn’t it? Giving what you have becomes this economy of light.
2) World
This turns into a mission economy that completely saves the world.
3) RT
This turns into a Remnant economy. You must do this with that faith.
The offerings you give to the church—this is the economy of light. This time too, because of your participation, many people struggling abroad came here. Looking at them here, you can tell there’s a certain level, right? Some people say they came here and simply received such grace. And one man, who I thought had the most promise among those I saw, this leader was a fairly young man, and he went home in shock, they say. “What should I do when I go back to my country?” He said he would write to all the politicians and go report to them himself. He said he saw an amazing work of God here in Korea. These are all people who have lived the life of faith for a long time. And that’s how your devotion and offerings bring about this kind of transformation.
▣ Con._ Temple
So then why build a temple?
– 3 Ages
There must be a facility to open the 3 Ages. Now, many peoples are coming, the Remnant are coming, and people from all over the world who need healing need a temple where they can gather. There must be a place for children to come and play freely, talk freely, pray freely, find themselves, and find their way. We must, at last, open the age of meditation that saves the whole world. This too is important. Right now, one day, when the word fills up, things will happen that we cannot handle.
[ Rev. 8:3-5 ]
Revelation chapter 8, verses 3 and 5. When your prayers fill up before the throne, that’s when things begin to happen. God showed us that not a single one of your prayers falls to the ground, but all of it gathers here. He showed it to John, I’m telling you. It’s in Revelation chapter 8, verse 3, verse 5. And so this time we are sitting here is an enormous thing—right now is the moment the bartizan rises. This blessing cannot be blocked by anyone. That is the evidence of history. On the day this is fulfilled, it cannot be stopped. The highway is being built right now. Here we are making important preparations. God will already be at work. Moses had nothing, so he went out carrying just one staff, and God worked through that staff. The early church started with nothing, and yet they conquered the world. Today, take hold of the covenant of this bartizan. Let us pray.
Prayer
May we enjoy the blessing of 24, and may we confirm, 25, the fulfillment of God’s kingdom. May we become witnesses who leave behind an eternal work. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
