Acts 1:8 “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.”
Some people have come from faraway countries and must go a long way to return. And we have guests from Vanuatu, farther away. Please take care of your health. Realistically, this is the path that you must travel alone. Thus, you must always have four experiences.
[Morning - Health (Strength)] You must experience prayer in the morning to gain strength that restores your health. To glorify God, we mustn’t be ill. I have done this for the last 30 or 40 years. Please do this. Mainly in the morning, forget everything else. You must restore your health through "3・9・3 prayer," which gains God-given strength. The best method is prayer and breathing. It would help if you did these. There's proof that you don't do these. You'll know when you come to Deokpyeong. If you take a long breath while praying, you can smell something far away from you. So, if you can, it would be one of the proofs that you breathe long. An incineration plant was established, which didn't exist when we moved here, but you can't smell it now. It depends on the direction of the wind, but this whole neighborhood smells like an incinerator right now. It could be a mistake if someone else asks, so Elder Jeong Geun Lee had better ask a member of the National Assembly elected in the local constituency about this: When building an incineration plant, they need to install a piece of equipment that eliminates plant odor through incineration to get permission. Originally, when an incineration plant is built, consent has to be obtained from the entire neighborhood, but they must have done something. It was made anyway, and now it still smells. Then it would be said that the permission was given recklessly. Or, after approval, they may burn waste without running the equipment. It costs a lot of money to run it. They could just burn waste to save money. It's very damaging to our children right now. You don't recognize it because you don't take long breaths. As for me, the smell hits me as soon as I arrive here. There’s no smell on days when the wind blows in the opposite direction. Now, I always carry a portable oxygen canister with me. With that, I breathe intensively in the morning and go into prayer. You must do it. You must be healthy. You must do it because it gains strength to stayhealthy. Scientifically, that's all. Our breathing is everything.
[Daytime - Prayer Topics] During the day, pray to find many prayer topics. Among the prayer topics, there are many blessings
[Night - Deep Prayer] You should mainly do deep prayer at night to experience something significant. Concentrate on it. It’s an intensive prayer focusing on the most important thing for you at night. Try it. A fantastic experience will happen
[Worship, Praise - Something Important] Those who can do this can do crucial prayer during worship and praise: they praise together at the time of praise. When praising, many people don't praise and just sit there vacantly. They get caught on camera these days because the camera is spinning. You can do essential prayer at this time. Please look in the Bible. Verify it after the experience. David was good at this. Even when you worship alone, you can pray extraordinarily in worship and praise. I used to do a lot when I was driving alone in the past. So, you must always have these four experiences. When this takes place, now you can see what's important.
[Evangelism and Missions Are Everything] Evangelism and missions are everything. Why? It’s because the Gospel is everything. And because God who has given you the Gospel is everything. When God calls you, you cannot refuse...everything. God hosts every life. No one can block Him or take Him away
▣ Introduction
1. The Seven Bartizans Let me summarize what we've done this week. You mustraise seven bartizans first. [Kingdom] In some ways, it's easy. You only need to do one thing well. Build God's bartizan inside me. Jesus said, "Kingdom...the works of God's kingdom." Tremendous works arise here. [Only] Find the bartizan of "only." That’s how your church and business will grow. Pastoral ministry is to teach your church members "only." Once you find "only," "uniqueness" and "recreation" will follow, as Jesus said. [The Ends of the Earth] The next thing is the mystery of prayer that transcends time and space...the ends of the earth. You must find it. [237] So, you must find your own 237. This is the fourth bartiza
[Power] Then, something meaningful comes out. It’s the power of prayer. You need to take this with you. Here’s where your personal contract comes out. And the covenant of a patron, fellow worker, and host comes out here, too. It’s a vital part. [The Future] You must take the accurate future with you. The accurate future. If you foresee the precise future, the answer will begin. You need to hold onto something even if it is incorrect. In this case, you will know later if it's wrong. Isn't that so? You must go to the incorrect path to realize it's false. You will never know if you don't go. These are what was given by Jesus at the very end
[The Lord of the Second Coming] He spoke of it ahead of time and talked again through an angel. He will come as the Lord of the Second Coming. This is our final bartizan. The final mission. This was what Jesus had taught before he left. So, you must do this. If you do this, you can see answers in advance. You don't have to worry about anything. If there have been no answers so far, God hasn't given them to you. It's because God wants you to do this. It's because it doesn't help. The world is maintained by giving anything to those who aren’t saved, but you’re different from them
2. Satan's Bartizan (Matthew 12:28-30, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5) And what else? It’s your turn to completely break down Satan's bartizan. This must take place for works to arise. Jesus said this must take place for the works of God's Kingdom. In 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, it mentions "divine power to demolish strongholds." You must do this. Someday, we’ll see church members gathering together to continue to build Satan's bartizan. It's terrible. Then, you’re bound to close your mouth and pray. Melancholic patients make Satan's bartizan 24 hours a day. That's what they’re struggling with. People with mental health conditions are fully immersed in Satan's bartizan. That's why we call it a mental illness. If you know this, you can flip it over. It’s possible by God's power.
3. Discard (Galatians 2:20), Find (Bartizan), Enjoy (Platform, Watchtower, Antenna) I wanted to give a message to the missionaries commissioned yesterday but couldn't because of time constraints. Let me give it to you now briefly. Discard everything before you go. You cannot do world evangelization with what you've got. Throw everything away. You cannot save your region with your level... absolutely not. Throw it away before you go. Paul didn't just throw itaway; he said, "I no longer live." Dump it. You can never do world evangelization with your level or ability. Find the seven bartizans. Find them. Answers will automatically follow. If your church grows while you are seeking this, that's normal. If your business is preciously used for God's purpose, that's your answer. Find them, and enjoy them. Enjoy them after you find them. That’s the nature of prayer. While enjoying it, the “platform” will be established. The “watchtower” will be built to shine the light, and the “antenna” will be installed to make people come, too. You must do it that way. We greet when we meet each other. When we send a person to the missions’ field, we give them a commissioning letter and shake hands like this, looking at their faces. If you thought, “Can this person do American evangelization? I'm not sure when I look at his face.” Discard this kind of thought. It can't be done with your face or my face. Throw it away before you go. Please dump it. Can I revive you with my level? No, I can't. We must discard it. Hence, Galatians 2:20 says, "Christ lives in me." Isn't that amazing? Find it. You must find it and build a bartizan. There needs to be more than just having a bartizan. A “platform’ inside the bartizan is required to make people come. Isn't that so? And a “watchtower” that shines the light to guide people's direction is also needed. Other people and I must find and enjoy them. We must communicate with each other. We must meet God. This (Introduction) is everything. Experience this (The Table above the Title) every day. That's it. Don't worry about anything else. Don't worry about illnesses. As long as this (Introduction) doesn't occur, your condition won't get better, so worrying about it is useless. On the Contrary, if this happens, your long-standing diseases will be healed. It’ll be beyond healing; it’ll be unnecessary. Because you are sufficient with God, you’ll have this answer
▣ Main 1. Evangelism - Everything Therefore, what you must keep in mind and pray for is evangelism. Not knowing it, you’ll lose everything. Let me give you an example.
1) Chosen People Ideology Even though the Gospel was given to the Israelites, they didn't know the Gospel and evangelism. That's why the chosen people ideology was made up. That was the shortcut to destruction.
2) Messiah Ideology Since they didn't realize Christ, only the Messiah ideology was left.
3) Legalism Ideology Because they had no life, they set up a legalism ideology to maintain their system. That must be completely destroyed.
2. Missions – Preventing Disasters If you don't know missions, you’ll suffer from disasters. It’s preventing disasters.
1) Spiritual Do you know why the Israelites were enslaved, held captive, and became a wandering people? You must realize it more, finally. Even now, we’re spiritually enslaved. We must escape from it. The Israelites escaped from Egypt but not from Satan. Isn't that so? They went through the wilderness but not through the darkness.
2) 237 This darkness has spread all over the world.
3) 0.1% Only 0.1% of those who know the Gospel, evangelism, and missions have changed the world. It’s a rightful result. It’s rightful because the change has been done not by your power. It's been done by God's (Introduction 1) incredible power inside you and me. Our abilities aren’t necessary.
3. Restoration And you can restore everything if you know evangelism and missions. Now, we’ll wrap up with this. And we’ll have the final joint service for the Missions’ Festival Sunday, tomorrow.
1) The Three Feasts Well, it isn’t just keeping the Three Feasts, but we must restore the content of the Three Feasts because it’s tremendous. Passover meant salvation. Upcoming Feast of Ingathering means our background, the heavenly throne. Now, in between, is Pentecost. So, the Bible says, "When the day of Pentecost came." It's the fulfillment of the Three Feasts.
2) Calvary, The Mt. of Olives, Mark's Upper Room And what should we raise a bartizan with? We restore it with these: Calvary, where Jesus said, "It is finished."; the Mt. of Olives, where Jesus gave the disciples the best covenant; and Mark's upper room, where they received the best answer.
3) 3・9・3 In the end, if you summarize this, it comes out as 3・9・3. You accept this and convey it.
4) The Tabernacle, The Temple, Church At last, what kind of works will arise for you? Although the order has changed slightly, in fact, these blessings wereall in the Tabernacle. These blessings were all in the temple. They’re the three courtyards. This is the church.
5) The World's Bartizan Then, you can build the world's bartizan. In other words, the world's bartizan will be established. Don't worry about anything from today. Never use humanism. Why? Just don't do it if you don't have it. Making something that doesn't exist is the unbeliever's methodology. If we don't have it, we’ll get a better one. Isn't that right? It’s okay even if it’s stolen. We've already had a bigger one. You don't need to worry about anything. Worries belong to the unsaved. Unbelievers could be totally spoiled when they’re persecuted. They may fail in a crisis. But it’s an opportunity for us. "Is it enough to kill all Christians?" Death is the beginning. "By the persecution in connection with Stephen." This means "Stephen's death became a trigger." That's how the Church at Antioch was established. You don't have to worry about anything
▣ Conclusion_ Evidences (RT, Hebrews 11, The Early Church) Evidences...the 7 Remnants and people in Hebrews 11 were evidences. And the Early Church was evidence, too. We have evidences. So what must we do with the evidences?
[Stream] Change Catch the crucial streams of the Word, prayer, and answers. Grab hold of the flow of God's Word. The Word must have a stream since it’s alive. Go with the stream of prayer. This is essential. That person and I cannot be the same because the streams are different. The entire church's stream is the same, but the stream of my answers is differs. Some people are close to evangelism, and others are far from it. Change the stream! This is our goal. Going along with God's stream, change the streams of all fields. You change them. Don't worry about anything. It’ll undoubtedly come. Please wait until it arrives. In a way, if you really enjoy this (Main) blessing, you don't even need to make plans. Why? The plan has already been proposed. You plan something when you have no plans, but why do you make a plan when you already have it? Sometimes you don't even have to do anything so drastically. Why do you do something else when you already have everything? I'm saying so because you may be busy receiving this blessing...busy! You’re busy gaining so much strength while enjoying this blessing. The missions’ movement to save the entire world is bound to arise. I bless you in the name of the Lord and pray that you’ll fully experience this message. Blessed be your beginning of restoring health in the name of the Lord. Let’s pray. Prayer Dear God, we give thanksgiving to You. Thank you for letting our World Missions’ Convention be in Your plan and time. Let it be the beginning of a complete recovery of what the Lord taught in the Bible. Instead of worrying, let it be the field full of gratitude. In Jesus Christ's, we pray. Amen
