WRC World Remnant United Worship
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 60:20-22
▣ Introduction_ The healing of light
We are offering our WRC community worship. Now the newcomers are organizing the message, wondering how to conclude. The remnants have well organized the messages, but how should they conclude? Especially, those abroad, and especially our church leaders—how should they conclude? What about our pastors—how should they conclude their ministry?
There remains a hidden issue. Among the 5000 tribes, there are inexpressible hidden sufferings. Evil spirits, spirit possession, energy movements—these are beyond imagination. I heard from one missionary that they cannot even enter some areas.
We go to cities, get off planes, sleep in hotels—who can’t do that? But powerful nations like the U.S. are even more deeply and secretly seized by Nephilim. Whether they do not know or are pretending not to know, in any case, they keep their mouths shut. As a result, they can’t endure any longer, leading to addiction, suicide, mental illness, and so on.
So, one final answer remains to conclude everything—the healing of light. We must heal through this light. The word “light” is easy to understand because it’s the opposite of darkness, right?
1. What you must first know
There are three things you must know before we begin the main point. Before entering the main message, there are three things to briefly understand.
1) The greatest sin of the believer – not knowing what the light is
What is the greatest sin of the believer? Stealing someone’s fig on the way? No. The greatest sin, the sin that brings disaster—is it telling a few lies? That won’t bring great disaster. I lie all the time: “Did you eat breakfast?” “Ah, yes, I did,” when I didn’t. I lie constantly. “Let me treat you to a meal…” “Ah, I’m full…” when I’m actually hungry. Does that mean I’m going to hell? Do you know what the real, great sin is? It is not knowing what the light is. So, there are three things you must quickly grasp.
(1) The light of creation (Genesis 1:1–3)
God created light by His Word. This light is not ordinary light. It is the light of creation.
(2) Jesus Christ, who was sent as the light (John 1:4, 9, 12)
Jesus Christ was sent, and He was sent as the light. Right?
(3) The light of glory (Isaiah 60:1)
In Isaiah 60:1, it says “the light of glory.” “The glory of the LORD.” “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
(4) You are the light of the world (Matthew 5:14)
Jesus said, “You are the light of the world. You are the salt of the earth.”
(5) A royal priesthood, called to declare the light (1 Peter 2:9)
In 1 Peter 2:9, “You are a royal priesthood, called to declare this light.” If you simply shine this light, darkness will flee. Disasters will disappear. The sick will be healed. Truly, when this light of life comes, the sick are healed. Enjoying this is prayer. Not knowing this is the greatest sin.
2) If we do not proclaim this light, disasters will come upon the future generation
The second thing to know from the introduction is this—if we do not proclaim this light, disasters will come upon the future generation. Right? It’s inevitable. They will perish if we don’t proclaim this light.
3) God sends the future generation as slaves, captives, colonized people, and wanderers to make them shine the light
The third thing you must first understand is this—God sends your future generation as slaves, captives, colonized people, and wanderers. There, He makes them shine the light.
2. Experience through the Word and prayer what happens when the light shines
If you have one remaining prayer experience, it should be to experience what happens when the light shines.
1) Christ shone His light on Paul on the road to Damascus
When Paul went to Damascus, Christ shone His light. It was not like sunlight—it was truly the light of creation. You may experience this on your way to Damascus, but the best way is to experience it now through the Word and prayer.
I tell remnants, “It’s important to overcome a major accident, but more important is to experience God’s power through prayer.”
There’s a friend who was hit by a truck and thrown 50 meters but survived. I asked how it felt. He limped a little but wasn’t in pain at the moment of impact. That’s common when hit hard. The pain came later, at the hospital. I shared the gospel with him: “Surviving the truck accident is good, but more important is to experience God’s power without being hit.”
Another friend from Busan went to Gangwon Province. A truck crossed the line. He forgot everything and thought it was over. But he lived. He was unconscious for three months and woke up in Busan. His mind was fine, just his leg injured. I said, “You say you experienced God’s power, but next time, experience it through prayer and the Word without getting hit.”
2) God and Christ are the light. You are the light of the world
Right? When the Word and prayer shine the light, amazing things happen. Here’s the answer: “God is light, Christ is light, and you are the light.” That’s what was said. The conclusion must come quickly: “You are the light of the world.” Most believers do not believe this.
One busy elder asked, “How can I evangelize?” I said, “Don’t evangelize. In your position, handing out tracts will only bring criticism. Just stay still. You are the light. Then those in darkness will come. Just explain briefly then.” Right? We think evangelism is running around with tracts, but that’s not it.
Didn’t I share this before? A judge doesn’t go straight into trials but must train first. He ran errands for a senior judge and gave a gift—a sermon tape. The senior judge listened and was shocked: “This is exactly my family’s story. Why did he give me this?” He summoned him and asked, “What is this?” “A sermon from my church.” He accepted Christ. Later, he asked, “Can you share this with my family?” “I can come every day.” This kind of thing happens.
3) The light of Christ will shine where you are
Because you do not believe you are the light, darkness is running wild. This darkness is strange—it knows you well. It knows where to strike. This darkness has personality—it’s powerful. Today, believe this: where you are, the light of Christ will shine.
At a youth retreat, I told them, “Go once to a demon-possessed fortune teller. They’ll recognize you immediately.” Light is visible. A woman went to a fortune teller. He said, “Why did you, a daughter of God, come here?” She fled immediately. She realized, “I am saved.”
After this sermon, my daughter visited a fortune teller and told me he didn’t recognize her. I said, “That’s a fake. There are fakes who pretend without demons.” Know this incredible blessing.
3. Just rise and shine the light
So rise and shine the light. Remember this well: God is light. Christ is light. Not just any light—the light of creation, the light of life. You, the saved, are the light. This is the light to be proclaimed. Right? You must go with this. Without the light, there is no healing. Darkness, being disaster, cannot be healed. Without light, you cannot overcome the power of hell. Who hates the light most? Satan’s authority. Without light, you cannot overcome. Rise and shine the light.
▣ Main point_ The answer of what is rightful, necessary, and absolute
Naturally, certain answers come. If you go a little further, they come necessarily. Even if it seems things are not working, if you continue, you will see what is absolute.
1. The light that heals the future generation (Isaiah 60:1)
What is the first? It is the light that heals the future generation. It is stated in Isaiah 60. “Arise, shine your light.”
1) Verse 4
In verse 4, it says, “Your sons and daughters will return from afar.” What does this mean? Sons and daughters who were scattered and suffering will return.
2) Verse 8
In verse 8, “They will return to their nesting place.” It’s useless to return elsewhere—they will return to their nesting place. Simply put, the remnants will return—to the nesting place.
3) TCK, CCK, NCK will return
TCK, CCK, NCK will return. Do you know what CCK is? TCK are those in third-culture environments. But CCK refers to those in entirely different cultural spheres—remnants who live under disaster, unable to hear the gospel through no fault of their own. NCK are those who live where there is no (Not), no (No), cultural sphere at all. In Korea, we live too well to understand this.
Some people never brush their teeth their entire life—these places exist. Some have no shoes at all. Such nations are widespread. I saw this firsthand. Truly, no shoes. Children’s feet are in terrible condition. Yet when we came, they gave us water they had set aside. They themselves have no drinking water. The land is scorched red. I asked why—it had all burned. They live in such places. They struggle to survive. They don’t even know they are sick, and even if they are, there’s nowhere to go. I saw a 9-year-old child sitting, gazing at the sky. That’s NCK. They will return to the light. It is natural. In a way, it is necessary and absolute.
2. The light that heals the economy of darkness
What happens when this light shines? It becomes the light that heals the economy of darkness. This was mentioned at the start.
1) Economy of light
First, the economy of light. “Your gates will always stand open, day and night.” Verse 11. “The doors of your church will be open day and night.” This is very important. What else does it say? “The trees of Lebanon will beautify the place of My sanctuary.” Verse 13. “I will glorify the place where My feet rest.” That’s in verse 13. Read further, and you’ll see—it means building a true church through the economy of light. This must now be restored. Remnants must pray. In your generation, there should be no such words as, “The church lacks funds.” It must overflow. Why is there lack? Because there is no economic power. “I don’t want to give offering.” No church leader feels that way. Right? All church leaders want to earn and give offerings. “I hate offering.” No one thinks that. Why can’t they give? Because they lack economic power. Recently, Bill Gates gave tens of trillions. How? Because he has economic power. This is miserable. It’s not about money. Our remnants must restore the economy of light here. They will return with it.
2) Remnant economy
Also in today’s passage, what is it? The restoration of the remnant economy. “Your descendants will return with silver and gold.” Verse 9. And it’s not just about money. “Your children will return on ships with silver and gold.” How much have your parents and elders suffered due to financial hardship? Truly, they will return with the remnant economy. Pray with spiritual resolution. Not just any resolution—spiritual resolution.
3) Missions economy
At that time, the missions economy will return. Verse 9 states, “The islands will glorify the LORD.” Right? “The ships of Tarshish will return.” God gave us an incredible message. It means this is the light that heals the economy of darkness. First, the light that heals the future generation—rightfully. Then, the light that heals the economy of darkness—this must absolutely become yours.
In the island nations of Oceania, darkness collapses, the economy of darkness collapses, and the economy of light enters. I am certain. In every age, I’ve seen this. In nations where it seemed impossible, the three economies entered: the economy of light, the missions economy, and the remnant economy. Then amazing winds blew. Right?
People who don’t know ask, “Why does the pastor do missions in places like Oceania?” That’s looking with physical eyes. “What kind of country is Vanuatu? Why go there?” Someone asked me directly. I explained: in Oceania, there is a nation that can save the neglected one-third of Africa and the world. Over time, I saw that the leaders of Vanuatu are gospel-holding leaders. From my view, it is not a weak nation. I realized it is a very important nation for world evangelization.
Even now, people came from Solomon Islands, Fiji, Papua New Guinea—they are all people with a calling. I thought, “God has a plan.” People ignorantly say, “Why go to such countries…” That’s not it. Honestly, Japan and America can be evangelized without us—they are advanced nations. But the 5000 tribes cannot be saved unless we go or send someone.
3. The light that saves you and your nation
What kind of light is this? It is the light that saves you and your nation, who are devoted to this work. It seems like you are devoting for the LORD, but it is the light that saves you.
1) Verses 20–21
Verse 20: “The everlasting light of the LORD will shine upon you. He will end sorrow in your land.” Right? “The people will be righteous and possess the land forever.”
2) Verse 22
Verse 22: “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. You will no longer be forsaken.”
3) Verse 22
Then it says, “I, the LORD, will do this swiftly.” Yes. If it was up to you, it would be difficult. But “I, the LORD, will do this swiftly.” This word “swiftly” also means He will accomplish it exactly at the appointed time. You must hold to this covenant.
Wherever you go, remember: I am the light of Christ. I am the light to save others. Some people seem like they are just ranting. No—they are in hardship. Some people shout—because they are weak. Some create rumors and manipulate public opinion—because they have no strength. Truly strong people don’t act like that. You must save them. Shine the light.
▣ Conclusion
So the conclusion is this.
1. Go as a watchman
Go as a watchman.
1) One who gives the LORD no rest day or night
A watchman is one who gives the LORD no rest, day or night. Not just anyone.
2) One who prepares the highway
Prepare the highway.
3) One who raises the banner so that all peoples may come
Raise the banner so that all peoples may come.
4) One who shines the light from the bartizan and watchtower
The important thing is to shine the light from the bartizan and watchtower. This is important. Especially at night, shine the light until dawn. This light is the light of life—so it is extremely important. From afar, people in darkness will see the light and come. Passing ships adjust course by the light. There is a lighthouse that shines red light. There is one that shines blinking yellow. Some shine blue. These are all different.
When you see red light, it means don’t approach. There are large reefs—danger. If there is no light, what happens? So go as a watchman.
2. Be a proclaimer
Go and be a proclaimer. This is important. Proclaim the Word. Proclaim to the breath.
3. Be one who declares the light (1 Peter 2:9)
Also, what are we? We are those who declare the light. 1 Peter 2:9, “You were called to declare this light.” Remember that.
Last week, during a meeting, a remnant—a foreigner—asked me: “You’ve evangelized for 37 or 38 years—that’s amazing. What was the hardest time?” Honestly, I never had a hard time. The hardest times were when I met unreasonable, unteachable people who block the gospel. That’s the hardest. It’s hard to endure. In the past, it would have been simple—but now I’ve changed. In the past, I was an expert at grabbing people by the collar. Now I must endure.
Truly unreasonable people—frustrating because they carry Satan’s 12 bartizans. And the church made 5 more satanic bartizans. These people interfere when you try to proclaim the gospel. Getting through that is very difficult. Why do they interfere with gospel movement when they never evangelized before? They never do oneness—but when it’s to block the gospel, they suddenly unite. They always fight, but when they want to oppose a pastor, they form instant unity. That’s not the work of the Holy Spirit.
“Paul, do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar.” Go holding this covenant.
Prayer. God, we thank You. Today, may Your kingdom and light be upon us. Heal us. Let us shine the light to those in darkness. Let those in darkness return to the light. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray. Amen.
