▣ Introduction
We’ve had retreats in succession since last Thursday. There were many people yesterday, but today's message is more important. And we have valuable guests from Liberia. I pray that they’ll be the bartizans to save their country with a reason. A person from Liberia asked me questions. Among those many questions, he asked, "If you go to Africa, how will you begin the Gospel movement?" It was a good question. [Healing Ministry / Summit Ministry] I dealt with it in the first day's message. If I go to Liberia to evangelize, I will do two things. One is healing ministry, and the other is Summit ministry to raise Remnants. These are what I’ll do. I’ll do these for Remnants, too. [Genesis 3:4-5, Genesis 6:4-5, Genesis 11:1-8] Satan continues to attack people even now. In doing so, Satan makes people the Nephilim as in Genesis 6:4-5. And Satan makes people build the tower of Babel to ruin themselves. Satan has actually built a bartizan based on these. You are easily deceived by this now. You easily fall into a snare called "me." And you’re also easily tricked by those things: “my things, my success, my name, increasing my reputation, or my popularity.” [Trinity, Throne, Ages] Not knowing this, people don’t know what prayer is. It’s prayer that the Spirit of the Triune God comes upon me. Only then can you break these down, and conveying this is a prayer. At this time, “The Throne's Blessing” comes inside me. This “Throne's Blessing” transcends time and space. Only then can you understand the words “all nations.” I must enjoy the transcendence of time and space to reach the 237 nations. This must come inside my soul and life to revive me. From that point on, the unprecedented and never-repeated answer begins to arrive. And it’s “The 9 Powers of the Throne.” These aren’t my words but what Jesus explained. And Jesus said, "To the ends of the earth." It’s about saving “The 3 Ages”: the past, the present, and the future. If you don't revive someone's past, that person can never be healed from his or her scars. [Genesis 3:4-5, 6:4-5, 11:1-8] ← [Trinity, Throne, Ages] These (Trinity, Throne, Ages) come upon those (Genesis 3:4-5, 6:4-5, 11:1-8). If I were you and went somewhere to evangelize, my first strategy would be to gather sick people. Amazing things will happen within three hours. I would explain this Gospel for three hours. And I would let them try to do breathing for healing. Patients quickly follow it. You are doing thoracic breathing now, but abdominal breathing is desirable. While doing thoracic breathing, you can barely maintain your life. In the meantime, cancer cells have eaten away at your body little by little. If a doctor suggests a checkup, It’ll be after the disease has progressed fairly long. The oxygen supply is insufficient, but a doctor has no choice but to help you by giving you medicine. The fundamental problem is a lack of oxygen and energy inside your body, and cancer cells continue to increase.

<02> ▷ As long as you don't spit it out this way, the toxins in your body won't get out. Only 16 percent of the poison is expelled through exercise or urine. The 84 percent stays in your body and starts to damage it by joining forces with a lack of oxygen...healing. Everyone can do it through the Word and prayer. Also, when oxygen enters my body, the place where it consumes the most oxygen is the brain. Your brain consumes more than 20 percent of inhaled oxygen. So if you breathe as you do now, your brain is suffering and screaming. You may be frustrated and depressed, and that's how you make yourself. After you gather patients and explain the Gospel for three hours, they’ll show signs of healing. Then, people will flock together. Once they stampede, whom do you take with you? Take a witness who got well and a doctor. You can confirm how serious the patient's current health condition is. And you can check how the patient's body has changed after finishing all these. That's the first thing I do when I meet people. What was the first thing I did when precious guests came from Africa or Vanuatu? I took them to the hospital and had their health checked. The Speaker of the Parliament of Vanuatu was surprised because he had cancer. So, we had him have surgery. He is perfectly cured now, and he attended this World Missions Convention, so we had him examined again. He was within an inch of his life due to blocked coronary arteries. He will undergo heart surgery the following Monday. If you know this mystery of prayer, you’re bound to get more intelligent because it affects your brain, which needs more than 20 percent oxygen. Isn't that so? The ministries of the Summit and healing will take place simultaneously. Thus, pray that these (Trinity, Throne, Ages) will come upon you when you inhale. It comes upon you realistically. Jesus breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit." Isn't that so? It’s written in John 20:22. Genesis 2:7 states, "God breathed the breath of life." And Ezekiel 37 states, "I will put breath in you. Prophesy to the breath." When you exhale, direct it toward these (Genesis 3:4-5, 6:4-5, and 11:1-8). Do this for three hours, and you’ll completely tell. As people continue to gather, preach the Gospel. These (Trinity, Throne, Ages) are the Gospel. "Jesus is Christ" contains the Gospel containing these (Trinity, Throne, Ages). Can they understand if you tell them, "Jesus is Christ," without this explanation? No, they can't. Explain this and let them accept Christ as their Savior. Great things will happen. Remnants must remember this. Don't just sit there. Instead, slowly inhale and exhale while praying. If you do this all day long on the Lord's Day, you’ll literally have “The 5 Powers.” Many people say, "Um, actually, I'm trying to, but it doesn't work." There’s hope for these people. "Trying, but it doesn't work" means they’ve confirmed something. In fact, I'm telling you guys who won't do it anyway, but it's effective if you do it once a week. Prayer is effective even if you do it occasionally. If you do a full-fledged prayer like me, it will be a completely different scenario. When you think and breathe, oxygen is not the only thing that comes into you. Enormous power comes into you, too. Remnants must keep this in mind. This is prayer. Breathing + Prayer We have two lifelines. They’re breathing and prayer. These are lifelines. Those who don't understand my words, stop breathing. Then, you can understand. If my words offend you, come and see me when you get cancer. Then, I’ll tell you. I’m wondering if anyone will listen and argue. There are a lot of people who keep arguing with me these days. Come and see me if you have cancer. I'll help you. Remnants, don't be deceived, but pray. The Five Powers And then, you’ll gain strength spiritually and physically. You’ll gain “The 5 Powers.” How can you live in this world without those powers? The spiritual power that God gives the first. Isn't that so? It has to be wisdom from above: “intellectual power.” It has to be strength given by God: “physical power.” It has to be the economy that God gives: the economy of light and “financial power.” And ten million disciples must arise properly for world evangelization: “manpower.” If it isn’t working well, Remnants need to do this for 5 minutes daily. Then, you can continue it. Pick any time you want. You can do it in the morning. [24, 25, Eternity] Later, you’ll become like this. Now, you’ll become the Summit. It continuously takes place anytime, anywhere, and no matter what happens. Then you are the Summit. And “3·9·3” comes upon the place where you are. We call that “25 hours.” Work arises even though you don't go there. This is called “Eternity.” Although we don't go to Liberia, these guests from Liberia will raise God's works...“Eternity.” It means that “3·9·3” has come upon Liberia. When we see “3·9·3” come upon me, we call it not only “Eternity,” but also “24 hours.”
▣ Main You’ll learn Corinthians next month. You can look up the text; now I'm telling you something important, something to do forum with.
Lecture 1
「Do Not Dispute」 It’s stated, "Do not dispute." This is the first lecture. You can look it up here. Don’t lose one essential Bible verse. [1 Corinthians 1:18] Please read 1 Corinthians 1:18. The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing. To those who live like animals without knowing God, this “way of the cross” seems ridiculous. However, the Bible says, "But to us who are being saved it is the power of God." And the crucial words follow.
<03> ▷ "Where is the wise man? How much wisdom do you have? Are you wiser than God?" Paul said. Paul became a humble disciple. In other words, 'Hey, are you an educated person? What about me?' Not many people in the Jewish nation were as educated as Paul. "How wise are you? That's nothing. Are you as wise as God? Where is the philosopher of this age?" This was what Paul meant. Therefore, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God." [Rubbish] I'm not saying to Remnants not to study. After studying as much as Paul, be successful enough to regard that part as rubbish. Those who can't earn money do all sorts of things to make some money. Remnants shouldn't become those kinds of people. That's just rubbish. Why? Because you have this (1 Corinthians 1:18). Without this answer, you have no choice but to dispute. What’s the feature of those who dispute? It sounds like they're saying the right thing, but it's, "I'm right." Then the other person may also say, "No, you’re wrong. I'm right. Don't talk nonsense." Some people get confused while talking and swallow their words. Moreover, they nitpick, "Why do you go back on your words?" That’s so shameless. Like this, people's wisdom is something absurd. They can't help but dispute. Look at every church that disputes. Its feature is everyone is saying, "I’m smart." They don't know how ignorant they are. They don't see how foolish they are. If someone says, "You know who I am? I’m a person who graduated from Seoul National University," the person may not know how silly he is because the Bible says, "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing." Remnants must understand this. Why do you have to study? You should study hard to clean up the rubbish. If you don’t study and understand the Gospel properly, you can't clean up the rubbish and will have to live in that rubbish. Please do forum. Do forum alone and with others. This is a tremendous message. Paul wrote this from Godgiven inspiration.
Lecture 2
「Lead the World」 It’s stated, "Do not follow the world; instead, lead the world." You need to understand one more Bible verse. [1 Corinthians 2:12 Light] It’s 1 Corinthians 2:12. "We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what God has freely given us." This is extremely important. You should read from the first verse. This is very important because it’s written at the end. If I am not saved, I am bound to follow the world since I've received the spirit of the world. Do not follow the world. Instead, lead the world because you have received the Spirit who is from God. [A Watchman] That's why God has summoned you as a watchman. Why? Receiving the Spirit who is from God means light... light...the light of life. What’s the life of Jesus in one word? It’s written, "Jesus came as the light." We have received that Spirit. That's why we are watchmen. There must be a bartizan for you to serve as a watchman. No matter how great a watchman you are, you can't shine the light without a bartizan. Although you have everything else, including light, you can't still shine that light without the bartizan. Therefore, you must make spiritual bartizans here and there. It would be best if you did forum with yourself and others.
Lecture 3
「Do Not Envy the World」 This is a forum topic for the third Lord's Day. Why do you envy the world so much? Do not envy the world. It's really embarrassing, but many believers do. It’s proof that they don't have anything. To envy the world means you don't have it. If you do, you’ll become such a pitiful person. [1 Corinthians 3:16] Be reminded of a famous Bible verse, 1 Corinthians 3:16. "Don't you know that you yourselves are God's temple and that God's Spirit lives in you?" [The Throne] The throne is inside me. "You are God's temple. Don't you know that God's Spirit lives in you?" It’s tremendous. [1 Corinthians 10:31] So what should we do? In 1 Corinthians 10:31, it states, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." It’s hard to find such a thing nowadays, but in the past, the old legalists strictly emphasized keeping the Lord's Day. They insisted, "You shouldn't spend money on the Lord's Day." If you put it like that, if you drive a car, you’re spending money on it, right? So, deaconesses used to prepare meals instead of receiving grace on the Lord's Day. It was like that in the old days. It wasn't even legalism; it was something like Confucianism. They thought that they would lead a good life of faith if they did it that way. Even in the early days of Darakbang, when I went to Yeongdo, all church officers had that thought. They asked whether they could buy their lunches or not. So, I told them this (1 Corinthians 10:31), "Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. If it has nothing to do with the glory of God, don't do it." That's the correct answer. There were so many different words being spewed in this Corinthian region. Why? There was a huge temple there. And there was so much meat that was brought to offer sacrifices. People would take that meat and sell it on the market. It caused an argument: "Can you eat it or not." The legalists asserted, "You shouldn't eat it. How can you eat meat used for sacrifices?" But evangelicals argued, "Who cares if you eat it? It doesn't matter whether you eat it or not." That's why they fought. Paul answered that to the World Evangelization Evangelism Alliance, Inc. www.weea.kr
<04> ▷ Church at Corinth. What did he reply? "Is there any reason that you can't eat it? And what is the reason that you should eat it?" His answer was simple. Suppose you went to the market and decided to eat some food. Is it indispensable to check whether the food was used for sacrifice? Once you were liberated within Christ, it was finished. What’s the reason that you can't eat it? Or knowing that, why do you go and eat it? He ended the argument with a single word. Our Remnants need to refer to it...criteria. People say this and that based on their criteria. Remnants should get the gist. In the future, our Remnants may grow up and stand before kings or presidents of the big countries. Let's assume that the president proposes a toast. "Wow, let's have a glass of wine on a good day." You don't need to say, "I won't drink alcohol." Of course, you don't need to ask for one more glass of wine. Right? Both of them are weird. Don't behave that way.
Lecture 4
「Restore True Faith」 For the last week, restore true faith. What we need the most are faith, hope, and love. [1 Corinthians 13:13] There’s a Bible verse you have to look up here. It’s 1 Corinthians 13:13. Faith, hope, and love are the most needed. It’s said that "Faith is powerful and effective." Isn't that so? What if you don't believe something? That's a belief, too...unbelief. Unbelief must cause the result. "I sincerely believe in it." In this case, it’ll be done as much as you believe. That's why you must have correct faith. Those who have hope can endure anything because they have hope. What if I will move to a good house tomorrow? What if the ceiling leaks whenever it rains? It doesn't matter. It's more enjoyable. Isn't that so? Nothing matters. If you surely know what will happen tomorrow, do today's hardships matter? No, they don't. Our guest from Vanuatu said, "Thank you," after he heard about his heart problem. Why did he do that? He was thankful because he knew he could survive. It meant, "Oh my...I would’ve been in big trouble if I went back without knowing." If we have hope, any hardship can't bother us. What comes after those who have love? Your labor is prompted by love. But what does the Bible say here? "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." Why did the Bible say that? Isn't faith the greatest of these? Why is love the first? The answer is simple. When you face God after your life is over, you don't need faith anymore because the subject of faith is in front of you. Isn't that so? You don't need hope, either. Why do you need hope in front of hope itself? But all that’s left is love. That's why it’s said that among faith, hope, and love, the greatest one is love. 1 Corinthians 16:18 And our Remnants must become "those who refresh the spirit of the Lord's servants and many people." Some people frustrate others no matter how right their words are. Be the one who refreshes. The opposite is "the one who makes you frustrated." Even though they’re saying the right things, they frustrate others. So may you be the one who refreshes the spirit of the Lord's servants and many people. 1 Corinthians 16:19 Priscilla and Aquila were those kinds of individuals. In verse 19, it states, "Aquila and Priscilla, and the church that meets at their house." That’s included in the greeting.
▣ Conclusion_ An Early Time, A Time That Goes Ahead, A Time of Renewal For our Remnants, you must have an early time more than anyone else. Have a time that goes ahead. That's all you need, and have a time of renewal more than others. Being mutated differs from being renewed. A mutation is to deviate from the original, but renewal is to get closer to the original. The older you get, the harder it is for you to renew something. So you always need renewal in conflicts. The fact that there’s a conflict itself means that God is trying to bless and renew you. Remnants must remember this. One day, something to save the world will happen before you because you heard this Gospel in your childhood. Thus, works will undoubtedly arise. Therefore, parents shouldn't judge their children too much based on their studies. It wasn't like that in the past and won't be like that in the future. God has wholly prepared His things for Remnants. It’s inevitable, so relay that covenant.
Let’s pray.
Prayer Dear God, we give thanksgiving to You. On this Remnant Day, please work upon all Remnants through the Holy Spirit of the Lord. Let them realize true prayer, power, and peace. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
