Harvest Thanksgiving Sunday
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:1-4
▣ Introduction_ Receive fundamental healing. Receive fundamental strength.
Thank you. How should our newly appointed church leaders, our senior church leaders, and all of our congregation members begin? Perhaps there are some among you who say, “I am sick,” and are struggling. Some of you may be struggling spiritually but cannot speak about it to others. Some people constantly suffer because of those who are intellectually superior to them. Even now, there are tens and hundreds of millions suffering from what is called neurological illnesses. Many are caught in it, asking, “What should I do?” They face great hardships. Today must become the important day when you receive the answer and true healing.
First, let me ask you a question. There are people who left the hospital after being told, “There’s nothing we can do for you,” and somehow, on their own, they experienced healing. Why is that?
Not long ago, I heard about someone whose cancer had spread to multiple areas, and the hospital told them, “There’s nothing we can do.” So the person thought, “If the hospital can’t help me, there’s no reason to go.” They went up into the mountains. They spent time there in their own way. After a long time, they are still alive. Why? Because they are undeniably alive.
Also, someone I know, especially my aunt, when she first attended a worship service, experienced a work of God. She hadn’t believed for a long time, but she was very ill, almost to the point of death, and when she attended the meeting, God worked immediately. If it had been someone else, I might have doubted, but because I know her, I thought, “Ah, such things really happen.”
Today, you must understand something important. Without a doubt, something significant happened to that person. Many of you are suffering from diabetes these days. That’s why you take diabetes medication and so on. But does that mean you are healed? Of course not. You simply manage your condition by following the doctor’s instructions, but you are not healed. The medication merely suppresses the symptoms.
Many of you take blood pressure medication. You should listen carefully to your doctor. You take the medication because the doctor accurately checks your condition. But does that mean you are healed? No. The medication simply controls your rising blood pressure.
What do you think? The Bible speaks about something very important. Do not be discouraged—heal the root cause. Right? It’s not about saying, “Don’t take blood pressure medication.” It’s about reaching a state where you don’t need to take it. That’s true healing. Reach a state where you no longer need diabetes medication. Overcome depression so you no longer need to struggle. Do you understand? That is the healing seen in the Bible. In other words, the root is healed. The root is strengthened.
So do not suffer and worry because of cancer. Truly hold to God’s covenant and create the fundamental strength to overcome cancer cells. That is victory. Technically, you are not cured. Surgery and treatment stabilize you. That is why you must develop the strength to overcome. Those who do that have already won.
I bless you in the name of Jesus Christ that today will be the day when you receive the blessing of fundamental healing and fundamental strength for all your problems. Why? Because today is the Feast of Harvest.
1. The three feasts that heal the root
The Bible speaks of three very important things.
1) The Passover – Healing the root of your spiritual state
What happens when you observe the Passover? The root of your spiritual state is healed. You must understand this. It is extremely scientific.
2) The Pentecost – Fundamental strength
When I enjoy the covenant of Pentecost, I receive fundamental strength spiritually and physically. This is important. First, follow the doctor’s advice regarding your illness. But the reason we must hold to the covenant today is that we need fundamental strength. That is not the doctor’s responsibility. The doctor cannot give it. God has given us this secret.
3) The Feast of Ingathering – Fundamental background
When I enjoy the background of the throne through the Feast of Ingathering, I receive a fundamental background for my spiritual future.
These are the three feasts. The Jewish people did not fully understand them and simply regarded them as events. They only thought of them in terms of harvesting crops. Even in America, Thanksgiving is done completely differently. Americans treat it simply as a holiday. So churches worldwide celebrate Thanksgiving and the Feast of Harvest but miss the actual content. These three feasts bring about the incredible work of healing the root.
That is why when people say, “I was healed through prayer,” I believe them. I believe it is extremely scientific. The root begins to heal, and incredible things happen. So when people say they were filled with the Holy Spirit through prayer, I believe it.
2. The Pentecost we must enjoy now – Only
What we must understand among these secrets is that salvation has already come to us. Right? The Passover. We have been set free. The background of the throne, the Feast of Ingathering, is already always with us.
Then what must we enjoy now? The Pentecost. We must enjoy this power. Jesus said, “Only.” This was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room—“Only.” You must hold on to this during this short time today. What does “Only” mean?
1) Hold on to the flow that saves lives.
This has been historically proven. There is a flow that saves lives. Right? I ask all the pastors to remember: there has always been a historical flow that saves lives, even though it often came with false accusations. So hold on to the flow that saves lives. That is “Only.”
2) Have limited concentration, chosen concentration, and oneness concentration.
Since nothing else works, concentrate with “Only.” Try it. Concentrate on what God has chosen for you. How do you do other things? Everything else will be revived, so concentrate on oneness. That is “Only.”
3) Acceptance, transcendence, and answer
There are many things around you. Accept them, transcend them, and find the answer. Then give the answer. That is “Only.” Joseph was not a slave. He accepted his circumstances, transcended them, and God worked through him. Even Potiphar said, “You are not a slave.” That is the answer we give. Today, we must truly restore the blessing of this Feast of Harvest.
3. The Pentecost we must enjoy daily (Filling of the Holy Spirit)
I believe we must enjoy this daily. We must enjoy it during worship today. Simply put:
The Feast of Harvest. The work of the Holy Spirit. The Pentecost. Simply put: the filling of the Holy Spirit. This brings healing to the root. This is important. It gives us fundamental strength. Focus so that this happens. Do not be deceived. Do not just listen to my sermon. Look to the Word.
1) 40-day concentration
Jesus concentrated for 40 days. That was the end.
2) 10-day concentration
After receiving the covenant, they concentrated in prayer for ten days, and the work of Pentecost took place in Mark’s upper room.
3) This is the Feast of Harvest, the Pentecost
This is the Feast of Harvest. It is called the Feast of Harvest because they harvested barley. Fifty days. Seven times seven is forty-nine, and the next day is the fiftieth day. That is the Pentecost. But this term is extremely important.
Do not worry about sickness. Heal the root. Restore fundamental strength. There may be many things in your life, but receive the fundamental strength that God gives. Listen to the doctor. You must. But it is up to you to receive fundamental strength. Right? The church is responsible for nurturing the fundamental strength that will rise in the future. It is not the doctor’s responsibility.
If we are sick now, there is no question. Go to the hospital. You must. You must receive medical help. Those people use their medical knowledge and scientific training to help you. We are grateful for that. But that does not mean the root is healed. We must heal the root.
▣ Main point
1. The promise that existed before eternity
First, this is the promise that existed before eternity. Right? It is the promise that existed before eternity. God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit have worked since before eternity.
1) Joseph (Genesis 41:38)
Joseph enjoyed this blessing. He was not deceived. Even when his brothers tormented him, he was not deceived. He became a slave with no one to help him, yet he was not deceived. Even when he was falsely accused and imprisoned, he was not deceived. Eventually, he stood before the king and gave the answer to solve the fundamental problems of the world. At that time, the king said, “Can we find anyone like this man, one in whom is the Spirit of God?” That is the blessing. The Pentecost. The Feast of Harvest. Right? With this strength, Remnants, do not be discouraged. Develop fundamental strength. Develop the strength to overcome cancer. That comes first. Is that possible? It is scientific. Right? It is very scientific. The resurrection of Jesus Christ is extremely scientific.
2) Moses (Exodus 3:1-20)
Moses realized this when he was old. Moses had not truly believed in this strength until then. He knew about it, but it was at Mount Horeb that this power worked. From that moment on, Moses moved the world with just a staff. You must find and utilize this.
3) Samuel and David (1 Samuel 3:19, 1 Samuel 16:13)
Two people realized this at a young age. Right? Samuel. “The Lord let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.” That spiritual strength entered Samuel. “From that day on, the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David.” Fundamental, creative strength entered them. Do not lose hold of this. Do not be deceived. Christians are constantly being deceived. Do not be deceived. Do not just listen to the pastor’s sermon. Look to God’s Word. You do not need to listen to my sermon. Confirm the Word and hold to the covenant. I can speak with assurance because I am a witness. I experienced this. Without knowing this amazing answer in God’s Word, people keep wandering like unbelievers.
4) Elisha (2 Kings 2:9)
Many seminary students and pastors are interested in physical benefits. But Elisha said, “I do not need that. I do not need Gilgal. I do not need Jericho. I do not need Bethel. Give me a double portion of your spirit.” That is what this means. The blessing of Pentecost. The Feast of Harvest. You must find it.
5) Those who went to Babylon
Those who went to Babylon went with this power. That’s enough.
2. The completed promise given by Jesus Christ
Second, Jesus Christ gave us the completed promise. All pastors and theologians know well what Jesus did during His three years of public ministry. What was it? He pointed out the wrong and different things the Jewish people were doing.
1) John 14:1-4, 16-17
At the end, He gave a final word. You must hold on to this. “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. I am going to prepare a place for you.” Then He said, “I will ask the Father, and He will give you the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, to be with you forever.”
2) John 14:26
In verse 26, He said, “The Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things.”
3) John 16:13
In John 16:13, He said, “When the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide you into all the truth and will tell you what is yet to come.” That’s enough.
4) Acts 1:8 (bartizan, journey, guidepost)
This is the promise Jesus made. At the end, He said, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you.” How much? Enough to accomplish world evangelization. “You will be my witnesses to the ends of the earth.” He spoke about the bartizan, the journey, and the guidepost. Right? That is the filling of the Holy Spirit. As I continued to pray with this, I discovered seven of them, but you may enjoy them differently. This is the promise of Jesus.
3. The promise fulfilled in Mark’s upper room (Acts 2:1-4)
Where was this promise fulfilled? In Mark’s upper room. “When the day of Pentecost came.” This is the third promise and blessing we must receive. They were praying in Mark’s upper room, and “when the day of Pentecost came,” that is the Feast of Harvest. The work of the Holy Spirit came like the wind and fire. Have you experienced fire? Its power is immense. The power like the wind worked.
In Mark’s upper room, they experienced perfect power. From that moment, they had assurance.
1) Peter, a changed man (Acts 3:6, 4:12)
Peter was changed. He had once denied Jesus Christ, but after experiencing this power, he said, “What I have I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” He changed completely. When he was brought to trial, he boldly said, “There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” The Pharisees were astonished. “Is that Peter? Why is he so different?”
2) Cornelius (Acts 10:1-48)
The Holy Spirit worked upon Cornelius. You know why.
3) Paul, fundamentally healed by the work of the Holy Spirit
The work of the Holy Spirit through the Feast of Harvest and Pentecost shook Paul to the root. He received fundamental healing. This is important. God gave him fundamental strength. From that moment on, Paul began the camp of being led completely by the Holy Spirit. The work of the Holy Spirit arose to block the age of the Nephilim and to conquer Rome—to save lives.
Take this with you today. This is the Feast of Harvest. Do not worry. Change your root. More precisely, believe and wait until fundamental strength arises. If spiritual strength does not work within you, you cannot quit your addiction. You may endure, but you cannot quit. You need spiritual strength.
When we went abroad, listen to that pastor’s testimony. God’s work happened to him. The work of the Holy Spirit happened to him. He thought, “Why was I like that?” and he completely changed. He no longer needed those things. He now goes from prison to prison, evangelizing. He seeks out drug addicts, evangelizing. “Don’t you know me?” The work arises everywhere.
▣ Conclusion_ How?
Let me conclude. What should we do?
1. When you believe, works arise.
I once thought there was some method. There isn’t. Works arise through faith. Right? When you believe, works arise.
2. When you hold to the Word, works arise (Hebrews 4:12, Isaiah 40:8, John 1:1).
When? Now. When? When you hold to the Word. Works arise when you hold to the Word. “The Word is alive and active.” “Say, ‘The Word of the Lord endures forever.’” “The Word is God.” Right? So, when you hold to the Word.
3. 24
There is no other way. 24. Just do it. Our church leaders must begin this year as the year when they receive the greatest strength.
1) Prayer 24 – Morning (strength), Day (confirm answers), Night (prepare 300%)
For reference, there is something I do every day. I do 24 every day. The moment I open my eyes, I begin full-scale prayer. During the day, when I meet you, I confirm the answers. At night, I pray and prepare 300%. I do this every day. 24. I cannot survive without doing this.
There are three things I do every day as part of 24. Prayer 24. That is how I live. I pray 24 to develop the root.
2) Exercise 24
This also strengthens the root. Exercise 24. Is it possible? It is. Adam and Eve had to move for four hours in the morning to eat. That is normal. You sit too much. Work in the morning to eat lunch. Work in the afternoon to eat dinner. That is normal. That is the exercise I am talking about. I exercise five to ten minutes every hour. I never need to go outside. Even in my office, I do push-ups and squats while praying and writing messages. Why? To strengthen the root. And I breathe 24 deeply. Why? To strengthen the root.
3) Breathing 24
And I pray. Strengthen the root. I can confidently promise you. You will gain incredible strength and change everything. Depression? No need to worry—the brain revives, and it disappears. Right? With immunity and power inside me, cancer cells cannot attack. That is the battle. Right? The fundamental battle.
Church leaders, many Remnants, hold to the covenant. Receive strength and be victorious in spiritual battle. Young people, do not fear the future. Prepare 300%.
Prayer
God, we thank You. Let us enjoy the power of the Pentecost, the Feast of Harvest. Let healing arise as we begin anew. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
