「The Day We Are Mandated the Authority of the Heavens and Earth」
(Ac 1:1-8)
Acts 1:1–8
1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach
2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen.
3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.
4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about.
5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority.
8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Summary

The Satan who came to tempt Jesus while He was praying in the wilderness ultimately wants to change the object of worship and steal away worship.
1) From birth, you have been caught in Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11.
(1) Genesis chapter 3 — you only know yourself.

Transcript
▣ Introduction — Satan who makes you unaware of three things so that you cannot receive answers to prayer (John 8:44)
Thank you.
※ Unbelievers holding wrong things, believers holding different things, Remnant investing their lives in worthless things
There are many sad situations, but unbelievers keep holding onto wrong things. There is nothing you can say to them. There are so many wrong things and they just hold on to them. I never talk about politics, but “Why are they holding onto such wrong things and staying that way?” — there are so many. And even our congregation members keep grabbing hold of different things. So I early on understood clearly: “That is why there is no answer” — because they are holding onto different things. Even our Remnant, they are throwing away their precious lives into worthless places. Wandering a bit can be of some benefit. But investing your precious life into something worthless is wrong. So this Remnant Conference, starting from the leadership retreat and continuing throughout, we need to help them find their way.
There are also people who keep deceiving and defrauding others. But the people being defrauded are also not entirely blameless. When someone is about to commit fraud, they have already sized you up and judged, “That person will fall for it,” haven’t they? Right? And then that person fell for it just as expected. So it is not something entirely praiseworthy. Looking at John chapter 8 verse 44, Satan is a fraud artist. He is a fraud artist who makes you unaware of these three things, so that you cannot know them. We need to know this ourselves and make it known to others. If you are unaware of just these three things, you will absolutely not receive answers to prayer — Satan knows this precisely.
1. Satan who hinders you from being able to pray
This is the first. There are reasons why you absolutely cannot receive answers to prayer. Satan knows this now. The fact is that Remnant are not praying well. When you realize this, prayer begins. So Remnant nearly all think they are somewhat lacking. No. They think they have a bit of a lack of faith, thinking “I’m not very good at praying either…” — that is how they understand it. And they ask, “How should I pray?”
※ Satan who came to tempt Jesus while He was praying in the wilderness
So this is Satan’s first strategy — if you just cannot pray, that is enough. So when Jesus was praying for 40 days in the wilderness, Satan came to interfere with that, didn’t he? And the way he interferes is absolutely remarkable. He does not make you feel bad at all. He comes right to you — Jesus was very hungry. Knowing that, in our Korean Bible it says “bread” but actually it is a stone that looked like bread. He brings a stone shaped like bread. Saying eat this and make bread. The easiest thing to tempt with is food, isn’t it? Even at the very beginning, it was the forbidden fruit to eat. Food is what he hooks you with. The next temptation is more important — he quotes scripture. Quoting from Psalms: “Since you are the Son of God, jump down from here. God will send angels to catch your feet.” This is how he comes. He even tested Jesus with this. And then another astonishing lie: “All this world is mine. I will give it all to you. Worship me.” Satan is remarkable. He wants to change your object of worship and steal away your worship. So we must teach this. Why can’t you pray? You need to understand that first reason.
1) From birth, caught in Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11.
What is the very first thing Satan tests with?
(1) Genesis chapter 3
While pretending to be for your good, “Eat this and you will become like God.” And you fell for it. We do not center all our prayer and all our judgments on God, but on ourselves. Right? Is there even a single person who, when something harmful comes to them, says “Lord, what is Your will? I will go that way”?
(2) Genesis chapter 6
So knowing only yourself and holding onto yourself — holding onto your own things — this is the Nephilim culture.
(3) Genesis chapter 11
Struggling to succeed — this is the Tower of Babel. “Let us gather our own strength and challenge God.” All ideology and thought came from there. Right? It is something terrifying, and it is even worse than that.
2) 2 Corinthians 10:4–5
Within you, not merely a bartizan of Satan, but a great stronghold has been built. 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 4 and 5. That is not even all of it.
3) The devil is building a house inside us.
Jesus said something terrifying. Satan the devil is building a house inside you. From birth it has been imprinted, so you cannot pray.
4) Imprinted, rooted, and made into a constitution with the notion that God does not exist
None of it has been wrong. It is all correct, but it has all been imprinted with the notion that God is absent. For the rest of life it will take root there. What must be done? So you succeed completely and then suffer, you earn a great deal and then fail. That is what human beings are. Right now the Remnant cannot pray. From birth they have been caught in Genesis chapters 3, 6, and 11. We need to help them see this. So already within our souls Satan has built his bartizan. Paul realized this and said: a stronghold has been built. It will be torn down. It is a startling thing.
2. He makes you unaware of the enormous authority that God’s children have to pray.
This is the second. Introduction. What is Satan deceiving you about right now? He makes you unaware of the fact that when you become a child of God, you have enormous authority to pray.
1) “Pray in my name. It is all accomplished.” He makes you unaware of this.
Jesus said it. No need to sacrifice a sheep anymore. No need to sacrifice a calf. No need to sacrifice an animal. Right? “Pray in my name. It is all accomplished.” He makes you unaware of this.
2) He makes you not believe that praying in the name of Jesus Christ accomplishes everything.
He makes you not believe that praying in the name of Jesus Christ accomplishes everything.
3) He has said He will give power and strength that comes down from above (John 1:12).
“Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.” He said He would give power and strength that come down from above. That is certain.
3. He deceives you so that you do not know what blessings you have received.
This is the third thing he deceives you about. You don’t even know how to pray or what blessings you have received. He deceives you about that.
1) If you pray even a little, the bartizan of the throne is formed within you.
If you — if the Remnant pray even a little, the bartizan of the Holy Trinity throne is formed within you. Right? The church never teaches just that. I wonder who deceived them.
2) You can go on the journey of the throne.
You can go on the journey of the throne.
3) The guidepost of the throne stands in your life.
The guidepost of the throne stands in your life. He makes you unaware of this. Some people say, “That is too abstract.” “That is too fantastical.” You are the fantastical one. Right? And you do not even know that. People die.
※ Christ living within me, living in the faith of believing that fact, new creation
So he deceives you in exactly these three ways. You don’t know why you are failing and why you cannot pray. He deceives you. Instead you follow what Satan commands. “I.” Right? That is what Satan has planted — “mine” — and if you push a little harder, “ours” — that is what Satan gave. Our Remnant must not be deceived by this. Does “I” disappear? No. “Christ lives within me. I live in the faith of believing that fact. I am a new creation.” Right? It is completely different. This is how he deceives. So he deceives you about the fact that you have the authority to pray and about this content.
▣ Main — I will be with you with all authority in heaven and earth.
You need to find this and deliver it to the Remnant this time. What is it? “I will be with you with all authority in heaven and earth.” That is what He said.
1. If you simply make disciples of all nations, I will be with you with all authority in heaven and earth (Matthew chapter 28).
This is the first. He said it immediately upon His resurrection. What if you do this? “If you simply make disciples of all nations, I will be with you with all the authority of heaven and earth.” He clearly promised it. I can say it clearly.
1) You will continue to be attacked, but works will continue to happen. Do not be deceived.
We will continue to be attacked. But works will continue to happen. Three people who attacked me in this neighborhood came at me and they all died. Those churches are all shaking. Our church has solid elders and Remnant who are guarding the church and carrying out world evangelism. Right? Do not be deceived.
2) Baptizing in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit — church formation
“Make disciples of all nations.” And along with that He said something important. “Baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” — what is this? Make disciples of all nations and establish churches. What is church formation? Making them live a proper life of faith.
3) “Always” with the authority of heaven and earth.
Not just “I will be with you with the authority of heaven and earth” but “I will always be with you.” That is certain. We need to make this known.
2. I will make you heal the world with all authority in heaven and earth (Mark chapter 16).
What is the second? With the authority of heaven and earth, what will He do? He spoke of this second point. He said He would make us heal the world. Jesus said so.
1) I will give you the authority of heaven and earth to save the sick.
“In my name drive out demons. In my name lay your hands on the sick and they will be healed.” This is Jesus’ promise. Not only to save the church but to give you the authority of heaven and earth to save the sick.
2) I will protect you from Satan’s authority and poison.
“They will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all.” What does this mean? Are you going around picking up snakes? Of course not. What is it? He will protect you from the poison of Satan’s authority, which is like an evil snake.
3) As they went everywhere preaching, the Lord sitting on the throne worked alongside them.
And then this also came forth. When they went everywhere preaching the word, the Lord seated on the throne worked alongside them. What I am speaking about now is Mark chapter 16, which Jesus spoke directly. “The authority of heaven and earth” — this is Matthew chapter 28, the first thing Jesus said. We must make people carry this.
3. The way to save the world
Today He gave His final message on Mt Olive. What? While explaining the throne, He spoke of the way to save the world. Right?
1) The way to save the world that He spoke of on Mt Olive
For 40 days Christ explained who He is. For 40 days — it is not your strength. It is the strength of God’s kingdom. It is not your strength. It is being filled with the Holy Spirit. He promised to give this. Then you will receive power. You will receive the power for the throne to become the bartizan, for the journey and guidepost. You will become witnesses reaching to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. He said it clearly.
2) The covenant fulfilled in the upper room of Mark
This covenant was fulfilled in the upper room of Mark.
(1) Those who held the covenant were changed.
When it was fulfilled in the upper room of Mark, the people gathered there who held this covenant were changed. You — our Remnant — need to experience this kind of transformation.
(2) Power like wind and fire began to work.
Thinking they had no strength at all, but wind-like, fire-like power began to work. Not wind, not fire. Like wind, like fire.
(3) People from many nations began to flock.
Then people from many nations began to flock, and power began to appear.
(4) The future began to be seen.
The future began to be seen. You must receive this answer, Remnant must receive it. “Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions.” That is the future. You will see it clearly. And that is not the end.
3) Paul’s team that changed the world with 3 camps
The Paul team that held this covenant changed the world with 3 camps. Right? In the course of running the 3 camps, darkness was broken. Within the 3 camps in each region, the Nephilim were broken. The sick began to rise up. This is how it happened. Sure world evangelism took place. Remnant must not cling to the covenant of unreliable people but must hold the sure covenant of God this time and go.
※ When you hold the covenant, prayer begins.
So people say they don’t even know how to pray. You have been deceived. And Remnant ask, “How should I pray?” — they are being deceived. When you yourself hold the covenant, that is when prayer begins.
▣ Conclusion — You must carry a timetable.
So we need to make people carry a timetable. You also need to carry a timetable starting now.
1. Take the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne given by Christ and work and study every day by this power.
Take the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne given by Christ and study every day by this power. Work by this power. Is that difficult?
1) Bartizan of the throne prayer
When I was coming here, I prayed: “God, for the congregation members who need to accomplish world evangelism today, for God’s children, I am going as a messenger. The thing they need most is the presence of the Holy Trinity God.” I prayed for that presence to come upon them. The thing I can do for them is not my ability but the ability of the throne. Isn’t that right? Please grant the bartizan that has concluded the past, present, and future. The bartizan of the five powers. Because that is what we need. The bartizan that overcomes the ruler of the air. The CVDIP bartizan that will conquer the future. The bartizan that will open the three ages that will pave the great road ahead. Please plant this within them. With this I work, study, and serve today.
2) Journey of the throne prayer
Our journey cannot be accomplished unless it is the road that the Holy Trinity God has opened. We have no strength and the world does not believe God’s word at all. That is why we must overcome completely through the ten secrets of the throne. We have nothing, but we cannot go with other things. Carry the ten footstools of the throne. Five certainties. I change the flow with the power of the throne — nine flows. So that the Remnant who come this time will receive the answers of a lifetime. So that today becomes the camp of the throne. Every time it changes. This is the prayer of the journey. Every time it becomes more fervent. Right? No matter what, this is what you need. You do not need anything else.
3) Guidepost of the throne prayer
Please let the blood covenant of Calvary that has removed all curses become the guidepost. The mission to save the world is needed. The guidepost of Mt Olive. The ability to save the world is needed. The guidepost of the upper room of Mark. Our thinking must change. Toward God’s things. The guidepost of Antioch. With three camps we must open the door to the Gentiles. That is the guidepost of Asia. With three camps we create a turning point and go to Antioch. That is the guidepost of Antioch. Finally we must go to save the 237 and the 5,000. The guidepost of Rome. And before you know it, as you pray, it becomes more fervent. Try enjoying it every day. Astonishing things will happen.
2. When something bad or good happens
If something bad or good happens to the Remnant, focus on the 3 camps.
3. When a great difficulty or important matter comes
When a greater difficulty comes — it can happen. When an important matter comes, do not be afraid but enter the stage that Paul described as “not knowing whether I was in the body or out of the body.” Paul expressed this as “the third heaven.” This is important.
※ Truly hold the covenant and pray.
Even someone as lacking as me — when I hold the covenant and pray, God gives evidence. The Remnant’s conditions are good right now. Truly hold the covenant and pray. When I was young I clumsily held three prayer topics and those answers have been coming for a lifetime. They come. Do not be deceived by lies.
※ Associate ministers — do not be deceived, prepare 300% for evangelism.
Associate ministers, do not be deceived, do not be led astray. Why? When I was an evangelist I prepared 300% for evangelism. That was it. I didn’t need anything else. God said He would raise us up as witnesses, and so I came here and started a church. It is okay to have nothing. God gathered only those with the gospel who needed to do world evangelism. Last year we had a bit of turbulence but the results will come out. Do not worry, the doors of the world are opening more and more.
※ Make the Remnant challenge nobody and nothing. In absolute impossibility you must see absolute possibility.
We must make the Remnant challenge nobody. Right? Our Remnant with this covenant
must challenge nothing. We must make them challenge nothing. In absolute impossibility you must see absolute possibility. Absolutely.
※ Do not set the standard by yourself — set it by God.
You just need to believe. We don’t believe well. We keep thinking with our own thinking. Jesus was walking and was looking for a fig tree. Fruit. Jesus cursed the fruitless fig tree. But the disciples looked at it as ordinary. Why did He curse it? You should ask. Even though it is clearly recorded that it was not the season for figs. Why did Jesus look so unreasonable? No, He wasn’t. Why did He go looking for fruit? Not a single disciple asked. Why didn’t they ask? Because they were thinking with the standard of their own thoughts. The standard should be Christ, but it was set on their own standard. Right? We easily become this way too. Because I cannot do it. I have no money. Right? I have no strength. That is my standard. So nothing needs to be done then? Is that right? These disciples should have asked, that very night. A message that changes the age would have come forth. The fig tree represents Israel. He would have told them precisely. Israel will close its doors in a certain year. Prepare disciples. That is what He would have said. They came back and it was withered. Only then — “Oh?” Our faith easily becomes like that. The word is fulfilled and then “Oh?” This time you must not set the standard on yourselves. Set it on God. “Ezekiel, can these bones live?” He did not say they would live. He did not say they could not live. He said, “Lord, You know.” That is right. That is the answer. I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be a day when great grace begins — a day of healing. Let us pray.
Prayer. God, thank You. Let today be a day when my spiritual healing takes place, a day when I receive the important authority. Please let it be a day of healing for the Remnant. Let the Remnant who came from all over the world return as witnesses of Christ. Please bind all the darkness of the world, and let the evil sicknesses depart. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
