Scripture Reading: Ro 16:25-27
237 Missions Devotion Service
Jesus promised missions and said it this way: He said, “Only.” It means do not worry. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” This means do not try to do anything else. Also, it means do not be discouraged even if the answer does not come quickly. He said to wait. “When the Holy Spirit comes on you, you will receive power.” “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.”
「Missions 24, 25, Eternity」 (Romans 16:25–27)
Today is the missions devotion service, so it is 24, 25, and eternity. Because all people are within this time schedule. We need to find the blessing within this time schedule. Even if there is just one person who knows this, they can save one church. And they saved one region. And they saved one nation.
▣ Introduction_ The hidden things
Why is that? Because God gave the hidden things to that person. To whom? That is what’s important. God gave the hidden things to the person who knows this. You must receive this blessing. He gave it to Paul and his team.
1. The reason
It is the person who knows the reason. Since they know the reason God gave, God cannot help but give it to them.
1) The 17 disasters
Satan used 17 methods to bring disasters. It is the person who knows this.
2) The situation
Because they do not know this, people fall into it by themselves. And they hold onto it themselves. Because they do not know.
3) Spiritual problems
So now they are caught in spiritual problems that they cannot possibly let go of.
2. Changing the bartizan
Why does the person who knows this do missions and evangelism? It is to completely destroy Satan’s bartizan and raise God’s bartizan. Simply put, just change the bartizan. Then the answer is bound to come. If there is a bartizan of darkness, answers of darkness will inevitably come. So to the person who knows this, God gave the hidden things. You must remember this. Churches that do evangelism and missions worry about many things, but you don’t need to. Everyone here does not need to worry about your future. Satan aims for that. He aims for you to worry. Because the only way darkness can win over you is that one thing—it digs into your worry. He said, “Do not be anxious about anything.” Satan can only dig into the thing you are doubting, so he knows he cannot win over you. So for those people who are dying, trapped in this darkness, spiritual problems come, and they cannot solve them. So you must change the bartizan. That’s why we must do the three-day weekend age. It is not just about selling things.
3. Changing the imprint
It is about changing the imprint. Yesterday, on Friday night, we talked about “imprint healing.” You must change this.
4. Seeking recreation
Next is what? The DNA that can do world evangelization must change. It is to seek recreation. He clearly said, “You are a new creation.”
5. Changing the future
After that, you change the future.
So what did God do to the person who knows this secret? He gave what was hidden. Why does He hide it? So He does not give it to others. Because you cannot give something so precious to just anyone. That’s why our remnants must not worry. Other people will not understand. If you hold onto this covenant, God will go to wherever the remnant is. It’s absolutely true. Remnants must receive this level of blessing. Depending on where the remnant is, God moves everything. Some people might feel very offended hearing this, but it is true.
Look at Joseph—depending on where he was. Right? Look at the Bible. Depending on where Moses is. Absolutely. Depending on where David is. Depending on where Paul moves. God practically moved the world. Would you open your eyes once again? Depending on where the gospel goes. Right? Because the gospel had to go to Rome, God revived Rome. Because the gospel had to go to England, God revived England. Because the gospel had to go to Europe and Germany, God brought revival there. But one day, these nations did not evangelize anymore. The gospel had to go to America. So God blessed America. They do not realize this themselves. Americans think they are great. “Ah, our country is great.” They own more than 50 times the land of our nation. If Korean people had just 1/3 of that land, they probably would have turned the world upside down.
We have nothing, small land, no oil. There is a reason God is blessing Korea. Korea is even within the powerful nations. Last week, President Trump said, “Isn’t Korea a rich nation?” That’s right. Why? Because God is moving the gospel movement to Korea. Now it’s not just Korea—it’s going to the multiethnic people. You need to open your eyes to this. Others do not understand. “After the gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come.” What did He say before that? All kinds of incidents happen? It’s okay. All kinds of events break out? It’s okay. It is Jesus’ word. “After the gospel is preached to all nations, then the end will come.”
▣ Main point_ [ Fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation ]
So then what is the blessing you must receive? You must surely receive it. You must receive the hidden blessing. What is it? I spoke about this on Friday. You must gain the fundamental power. You must gain the power to change the imprint in others. You must change it. You must gain the power of recreation. Though I proclaimed this for the first time yesterday evening, this is a reason you must never lose hold of for your whole life. If you are physically sick, you must go see a doctor right away and get instructions. There is no other way. But what we are talking about is something different. What about the fundamental issues? That is not the doctor’s responsibility. You cannot blame the doctor if you don’t follow what the doctor says. The power to change the imprint—you must cultivate that. The power of recreation—you must cultivate that. For those with very high blood pressure, doctors will give them medicine and say, “Take this.” Then you must do what they say so you don’t have an accident. But more importantly, you must make it so your blood pressure doesn’t rise in the first place. Fundamental power. The spirit and the body are the same. How do you cure depression? You must make it so depression doesn’t occur. So this is very important. Why do we need world missions? Because of the issues mentioned in the introduction. Because these are not resolved, there are so many people with depression. People with depression underestimate themselves too much. “I am nothing. I can’t do anything. I’m anxious.” Some people overestimate themselves too much. That’s bipolar disorder. They overestimate themselves. “Do you know who I am?” The illness is like that. It all starts from oneself. Some people have grandiose delusions about themselves. That is schizophrenia. Some people have a deep sense of victimhood about themselves. Like this, people keep getting ill centered on themselves. Since they can’t overcome it, they commit suicide. It keeps happening. Frankly, medicine cannot solve this. That’s why the whole world keeps getting harder and harder. With the gospel you have, you must heal this—(fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation).
1. Missions 24
So then, first—what is missions 24?
2. Missions 25
What is missions 25?
3. Missions Eternity
What is the eternity of missions?
1. Missions 24
What is missions 24?
[ Recovery of power ]
First, you recover the power that God gives.
2. Missions 25
What is missions 25? This is not our timetable. It is 25.
[ Recovery of the throne ]
You must recover the throne. Jesus Himself explained this.
3. Missions Eternity
What is the eternity of missions?
[ Recovery of eternity ]
Truly, though we cannot do it, we recover the eternal things that God has prepared. “I will give you what has been hidden since before the ages.” During the remaining time this week, I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ to gain this power (the main point). You are bound to receive it.
1. Missions 24 [ Recovery of power ]
How do you recover the power of missions? The early church had fixed-time prayer every day. Right? “At the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.” That was the time Peter raised the crippled man. It was the time of fixed prayer.
1) Daily
So I found the daily prayer by looking at this covenant. Gain strength. For me, setting an exact time for prayer is honestly difficult. Some people set an alarm. That’s difficult. What if the alarm goes off while eating? How do you pray? What if you are meeting someone and talking, and the alarm goes off for prayer? “Hold on a moment,” and pray? That’s hard. Honestly, if you really try to pray, the answer comes. Setting a place to pray? That’s possible once or twice. But for me, it’s hard to practice that. Going to a set place every day? I can’t do that. So how did I find the way? The 3 concentrations. The 3 settings. The 3 answers. Every day. What is the 3 settings? When you open your eyes in the morning, start prayer right away. Find everything. Especially when you wake up in the morning, while many people say their fatigue is recovered and they are revived during sleep, I don’t see it that way. You can lose a lot during sleep. More people die in their sleep than sitting up. Right? More people catch a cold while sleeping than while sitting. Personally, I think after sleeping you must recover greatly. So your brain, your lungs, everything, your spiritual things must recover. You can do all of this while moving. In the morning. Because you have to prepare. Today I woke up at 3:00 AM, departed at 7:20 AM. That’s 4 hours and 20 minutes. Continuously. During the day? You confirm this blessing. At night? You derive the answer. Then it becomes set. It becomes a platform, the watchman’s light shines, and the antenna of communication is made. Comfortably. Then when a problem comes, you already see the answer. Right? I’ve never worried over something for more than 5 minutes. The answer comes out. Not only the answer comes, but you also see renewal and opportunity. Then what? Joy comes. Do you understand? Daniel was about to die, but he prayed with thanksgiving. Right? What is that? He saw something. This must happen to you every day. You must remember this. Don’t make it hard. Our remnants, when you go somewhere? To another region or overseas? Alone—it’s hard. Just start. The moment you open your eyes, you must start gaining strength. Never be deceived. There is no need to designate a place. And when do you pray? Setting a place? Right? Of course, it’s good to have a quiet place to pray. But you must be able to pray anywhere.
2) Hourly
I have something I do hourly—there is something I enjoy for 5 minutes every hour. Hourly. During this prayer.
Last week, I read a book about people with depression and panic disorder—about what state they are in. I mostly read books written by doctors. Why? Personally, I trust them the most. Others, I trust a bit less, so I don’t read those much. Last time, too, I read a book written by a doctor. This person had dealt with mental illness patients for decades. And how did he conclude? He said, “Anyway, those people need comfort.” That’s right. But if I could meet that person, I would want to give them the answer. Whether it’s a husband, wife, or child—if there is someone nearby who comforts them, that helps. But it doesn’t heal them. Because it’s a spiritual disease, they need God’s comfort. That’s why this power (fundamental power, power to change imprint, power of recreation) is necessary. I wanted to tell him about this. Why? Because the issues in the introduction need to be resolved. Without the work of the Holy Spirit, it is impossible, but they don’t have the gospel. That’s right. So these days I’ve been thinking, “Should I send my opinion to such great people?” But the last doctor I read was Japanese. I don’t know Japanese, so what should I do? Well, I guess I could use a translator. But the book I read this week (Breathing Reset) was written by a Korean doctor. He’s a pain specialist. What did he write? Even the title is from a medical perspective: “Even just correcting broken breathing will eliminate chronic pain.” I believe this 100%. Why? Because I understand about breathing. These days, doctors have started to rise up. It’s trustworthy. The content is good. Why do I say this? Because I focus for 5 minutes every hour on this. Exercise, breathing, finding the answer. I do it without fail. Every hour. Before coming here today, I did about 300 squats and push-ups over there. And I kept taking notes about what to deliver during this important message time. You must always exercise in sync with breathing. They happen simultaneously. For those of you who are doctors, listen carefully, professionally. A journalist investigated athletes’ lungs. 90% had lung problems. Why? Because they run without breathing properly. That’s not exercise—that’s labor. It becomes something very painful. But if you match your exercise with breathing, it becomes incredible power. I combine those three things and do them for more than 5 minutes every hour. Try it. It doesn’t take any special time. While washing dishes, do squats. While brushing your teeth, do it. Who’s going to stop you? I do it in the elevator. If someone opens the door, I pretend like I wasn’t doing anything. You can do it as much as you want. It’s fun. You’re busy.
3) Every matter
In every matter, you must gain the answer. This is 24. I believe this is the 24 that Christ taught. Daily—you must gain the strength God gives. Hourly—you must gain strength. Do not be deceived. In every incident—you must get the answer. We keep believing lies, so spiritual problems come. We must believe God’s word. This is my 24. This is the beginning of missions. Recover the power. Our remnants don’t need to go anywhere. Do what you can wherever you are. “I went somewhere but there’s no church. What should I do?” Do this (daily, hourly, every matter). This is church. “But at work, it’s so hard.” What should you do? Daily, hourly, every matter.
Let me give the example of the remnant Joseph, who faced the hardest difficulties. Joseph became a slave. He had no power. No time. No freedom. He went to prison. It became even harder. These three things (daily, hourly, every matter). He enjoyed them before God—morning, noon, and night—things no one could take away from him. No one could steal that time. And in those events, God’s work arose. That’s 24. Just recover this without fail. With this, gain fundamental power, change the imprint, and recreate. Without this, you keep trying to do things with just surface-level methods—that’s why it’s hard.
2. Missions 25 [ Recovery of the throne ]
So what is missions 25?
1) The throne
It’s the throne. That power.
2) The kingdom
The kingdom of God.
3) The work
The work of the kingdom of God. That’s what happens.
What is the throne? In Genesis chapter 1 verses 1 to 13, it says God created the heavens and the earth with His word. That power. When raising remnants, Isaiah chapter 6 verses 1 to 13—it was the Lord seated on the throne who gave the promise. He appeared to Isaiah. The resurrected Christ kept speaking about this (the throne). Right? “I will be with you until the very end of the age.” “The Lord seated on the throne worked.” That Christ promised the kingdom of God. How should we pray? Pray for the kingdom to come. “Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well”—pray that way. “For 40 days He explained the kingdom of God and its work.” What is the work? The answers the seven remnants received. That work. The answers the people of Hebrews chapter 11 received. That work. This is 25.
3. Missions Eternity [ Recovery of eternity ]
What is eternity?
1) 300%
Finally, God will lead you, remnants and all of you, 100%. And He has prepared everything 100% where you are going. Do not worry. Your future is prepared 100%. What do we call this? 300%. This is eternity. You must never lose hold of this.
2) Masterpiece
The second is what? With eternity, you create your masterpiece. What is the content of the masterpiece? The 7 bartizans, the 7 journeys, and the 7 guideposts—that’s the masterpiece.
3) Monument
This becomes the monument you leave for the posterity. Because it must remain forever.
Just hold onto the covenant. As you confirm God’s word now, what must come to you? Peace must come to you. Are you impatient? Are you getting lazy? Or are you busy? What do you feel while listening to God’s word? You must feel peace. And you must gain strength. Right? Are you feeling stifled? No, right? To this extent, God has prepared everything for you. This is true healing ministry, and it is also the summit movement.
▣ Conclusion
1. One person
One person who does missions is enough. God’s power is not lacking because it’s just one person. Right? David alone did everything.
2. One team
One team is enough.
3. One church
If even one church realizes this, that’s enough.
1. One person ( Where )
What is that one person? Who does God want? Where are they? You must be within this (main point). Right? If you are outside the covenant and say, “Give me answers,” that’s problematic. Where are you? You must be inside this. Within the 24 of God’s power. Within the 25 that is the background of the throne. Within the background of eternity.
2. One team ( Who )
One team is enough. Who are you meeting? If you have meetings with those who evangelize, you can recover everything. There will surely be such people. If an elite who evangelizes meets another elite who evangelizes—a man and a woman—what happens? There’s no need to ask. Just get married right away. All of our remnants are precious one by one, but last week I told Chanmi too, “All you need to do now is marry well.” This meeting is all important. It’s really hard. Some kids who understand the gospel can’t study well, and some who study well don’t understand the gospel. They give us trouble that way. But now there are elites who understand the gospel. Our remnants need to meet those people. This too is God’s blessing. Look at this (one team—who). Who you meet is important. And when you meet people like Priscilla and Aquila, the meeting is complete.
3. One church ( Only )
One church is enough. It’s not just the gospel. It’s only the gospel. Right? It’s not just prayer. It’s only prayer. You have to do evangelism? No—that’s not it. It’s only evangelism. Only being a witness. That’s it. Even if there’s just one believer like that. If there’s just one church that enjoys “only,” world evangelization will happen.
Today, during the six days of prayer, you must make a resolution. What are the diseases rising all over the world? Powerlessness is more frightening than spiritual sickness. Pray for it to be bound. What is the disease shaking the world’s people? Poverty. Pray for it to be bound. Physical illness is not the main issue. It is spiritual disease. Pray for it to be bound. May this week be a week of gaining great strength. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ. Let us pray.
Prayer
We thank You, God. May the greatest glory of God appear this week. We pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
