When Paul faced a great storm at sea, God gave him a historic message that broke his old frame. You are trapped within the “old frames” of “me, people, and work.” What must you do to break your “old frames?”

1. The Beginning of Old Frames
The beginning of breaking “old frames” is important. “Only Gospel” and God’s Word can break “old frames.” That’s why Jesus spoke of true blessings; (Matthew 5:1-16) parables of Heaven; (Matthew 13:1-50) and Christ (Matthew 16:13-20) to the Israelites who were colonized by Rome.

2. The Process of New Frames
The Jewish people nailed Jesus Christ on the cross, but the resurrected Christ prepared “new frames” for His disciples. (Matthew 28:16~20) The Jewish people were confined in the nature of slavery and colonization; however, Jesus told His disciples that they would be witnesses to the end of the earth. (Acts1:8) In 70 A.D., when the nation of Israel was destroyed and its people wandered. The “scattered ones” who possessed the Gospel did world evangelization. Likewise, for God’s children, all problems are a process to instill “new frames.”

The members of the Early Church were instilled with “new frames.” Because they possessed the covenant, they gathered knowing what the end would be. (Acts 1:14) They raised a church, commissioned missionaries, and preached the Gospel in Macedonia and Rome.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, through Your Word, equip me with the “new frame” that turns the absolute impossibility into the absolute possibility.

[Deep Questions] Q. How Can You Break the Old Frame?

In Yeongdo, I began a church even without a building. A frame was broken right away.

In the beginning, I did the Word movement in thirty places. Afterward, disciples arose, then they did the Word movement in three hundred places. Suddenly, one thousand disciples gathered at once. Because too many came together, there wasn’t any place large enough to give worship.

So, God gave us Immanuel Busan Church.
Another frame was broken.

The evangelism movement moved from Busan to the capital area of Seoul. From Seoul, it moved throughout the entire world.

Now, it is (*) RU. (Remnant University)
God does possess an absolute plan.
