Answer 25 of the 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
The Answer of Five Loaves and Two Fish (John 6:5-13) 6/25/2023
The passage records the event where Jesus fed five thousand people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish. These types of answers and blessings must be experienced within the lives of all believers (health, finances, all ministry). There are at least 3 reasons.
First, it is a difficult age. We faced this reality when we went through the pandemic. Until the day that the Lord returns, greater problems and suffering will continue. We have to believe that there are separate answers that people of God will receive.
Second, it is because of evangelism and mission. There are so many people in this world that we must help and save. At the missions field in Kakuma, we saw 70 nations and 70 tribes. This is the reason God blessed the nation of Korea that was desolate until the late 1960’s.
Third, it is because of the posterity and the future. If we cannot receive these answers in our church or in our personal lives, there is nothing we can do for the our children and the next generations. We will continue to increase scholarships for the upcoming generations. We are praying for the establishment of kindergarten, special education ministry, and Summit School. The answer 25 of five loaves and two fish must be experienced in these ministries.
When does these answers and blessings of five loaves and two fish arise? Hold onto one thing. Our hearts, thoughts, plans, visions, and lives must be accurately aligned with God. When you connect with God, he pours down everything (Matthew 6:33).
- When God’s heart is in our heart.
1) When Jesus performed this miracle, he took compassion on those people (Mark 8:2-3).
“I have compassion for these people.” “If I send them home hungry, they will collapse on the way.” When we take compassion on others, help, and give, that is called an act of kindness. Within that is a good heart. This heart was originally given to mankind when we were created in God’s image (Genesis 1:26). That is the life of someone who has received eternal life (Luke 10:25-37). That ultimately is the heart of God and the heart of Christ (John 3:16, Philippians 2:1-11). After Genesis 3, we have lost this heart completely, and people will continue to only love themselves in this world (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
2) With this heart, pray to become the model for the world and for this age.
It is something that must rightfully be in us as people who were saved by the grace of God within Christ, but we must still pray for it (2 Corinthians 5:14). It is embarrassing to know that unbelievers and other religions are able to do this, but we can’t. George Mueller, the father of orphanages, became the model of someone who enjoyed this answers and blessings throughout his entire life (George Mueller’s prayer).
- When the Word of God is in our heart.
The good deeds that unbelievers and religions talk about all come from themselves. It may become one’s self-righteousness, and eventually they will crumble. That is what Satan does. That is why he is called a thief (John 10:10). Despite living a kind life, he makes them perish. We must experience the things that comes from God. The start and the method to do that is the Word of God.
1) God created the world with His Word (John 1:1), and even now, he recreates the lives of people with His Word (Hebrews 4:12).
① Even fear, worries, depression, addiction, and even physical illnesses, when we hold onto the Word, the works of recreation will arise.
You begin to have faith in God, and the Holy Spirit works through that. This is healing the long-imbedded imprints.
② It is not just the Word. It is the Word that leads you to hold onto Christ (Romans 10:17). It is the Word of God that tells us how Christ came as the Son of God, was anointed with oil, and solved the three fundamental problems of life (original sin, Satan, eternal curse) with the three authorities (Priest, Prophet, and King). The Word allows us to continually experience and enjoy this mystery.
2) This is what Jesus emphasized when people gathered when they heard of this miracle of five loaves and two fish.
① “Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you” (27). He said, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.”
② Christ emphasized that when you know Christ, experience him, and enjoy him, you will never lack anything. This is what he truly wanted to show when he performed the miracle of five loaves and two fish. We, who believe in Christ and are in Him, have everything. We are those who have Christ (2 Corinthians 4:7-9, 6:9-11).
3) This Christ is governing over us even now, and he fulfills the kingdom of God within us.
① This is why we must hold onto the Word daily and begin our days (the key to 3 todays is the Word). We are to receive strength from the Word, gain courage, find things to renew, and discover God’s plan to be guided. Satan works to destroy the believers by blocking them from listening to the Word and holding onto the Word (Genesis 3:3-4).
② That is the only way that our soul will come alive and everything else will be restored (John 6:63). Are you facing difficulties and crises? We can hold onto the Word and experience answer 25 and miracles (Psalm 103:19-21, 107:20, 1 Thessalonians 2:13). True believers and disciples are who do not follow the voices of people or the world, but the Word of Christ (66-67).
- When God’s conclusion is in our heart.
What is God’s conclusion? It is saving, healing, and blessing me to save the world. This is missions and evangelism, and all of God’s conclusive blessings and answers are within that.
1) Although suffering, disasters, and persecution may come in the end times, the Bible says that the end will come when the gospel is proclaimed to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). ssThose who preach this gospel must make it so that everything they do becomes the miracle of the five loaves of bread and two fish. That is how we can save our region, the 237, the 5,000 people groups, the posterity, and the future. I saw how God’s miracles are continuously taking place in Kakuma, a refugee settlement, because of the devotion of a couple who are in their 70s and 80s.
2) When we hold onto the correct gospel of Christ and go all in for the correct evangelism and missions, God will go all in for us. This is the reason God blessed Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). This is the reason David was wealthy and precious even as he grew old (Psalm 57:9-11). This is the reason God used the Mark’s Upper Room that had nothing, and the Antioch church (Acts 11:19-21).
Conclusion – Why is this world filled with suffering, curses, and darkness? Why are churches, that are never supposed to fall, crumbling down? It is because they have lost hold of Christ, who is the answer to all life’s problems (Matthew 16:16-18), as well as evangelism and missions, which was Christ’s last covenant and command. When these two things are restored, God will restore everything even if the world is covered in darkness (Isaiah 60:1-5). I believe that the answer 25 of five loaves and two fish will continue in our church and in the lives of all our congregation who hold onto only Christ and have aligned their direction towards evangelism and missions.
The Answer of Five Loaves and Two Fish (John 6:5-13) 6/25/2023 June 25, 2023The Answer 25 of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC: 6 /11/2023
The Answer 25 That the Antioch Church Enjoyed (Acts 13:1-4)
If Mark’s Upper Room that began in Jerusalem is the beginning of the first church (early church) that Jesus’ disciples established, the Antioch church mentioned in the passage is the church that set the foundation of world evangelization full-scale. The Antioch church's commissioning of Paul and Barnabas as missionaries, which comprised multi-ethnic members, was the beginning of world missions. That very gospel came to us. The Antioch church is the covenant and model given to us when we first pioneered One Mind Church. Thus, there is much importance when considering how One Mind Church supports eleven nations and fourteen missionaries and how the short-term medical missions began centered on laymen thirteen years ago. We are also thankful that much evidence has appeared in the mission fields we have visited. More importantly, many future missionaries will arise within our church, and works that heal the world will continue.
- Antioch church had a historical background and characteristics that gave God no choice but to use them that way. This pertains to the individual and church characteristics that bound them to be used by God.
1) The members that began this church.
① The church was raised by believers who put everything down and scattered as persecution started in Jerusalem (Acts 11:19). The region of Antioch is in modern-day Turkey, located on the border of Turkey and Syria. It was a city established to commemorate the father of Alexander the Great, who led the ancient Greek kingdom. It was once the capital of Syria and also one of the three great cities of Rome.
② Although the region is a big city, the believers who started the church were people who fled persecution, so they had no power. Their names were not even mentioned in the Bible. Documents tell us that these believers found caves to worship when pioneering the church, and it was in that church that the works of commissioning missionaries for the first time began. The start of One Mind Church was also like this. Now, we are immensely grateful to be able to support various missionaries and send short-term mission teams.
2) They only did one thing as they went to Antioch and worshiped (Acts 11:20).
① They preached only Christ alone.
Christ, the only Son of God, solved all curses, fate, and authority of hell that life possesses. They accurately proclaimed Christ, and those unwittingly bound by curses, suffering, and fate were saved. They taught people of Satan’s works that lead life to be like hell and Christ, who has destroyed Satan’s head. One Mind Church accurately relayed only Christ alone, and people’s lives changed. Although we give medical support in the mission field, we must minister only for Christ to remain in their souls.
② Are there still believers who are problems, conflict, and difficulty? It is not a problem. It is for you to experience that Christ has completely finished all the curses, fate, and dark forces in my life. God will raise you as witnesses. He will make it so that all our problems, pain, and failures become evidence.
3) There is one more important thing.
① While everyone shared the gospel to Jews only, this church shared the gospel to the Greeks. In today’s terms, they became a multi-ethnic church. They became a church of tremendous blessing that saved and raised all nations.
② The beginning is one person. Even for our church, Pastor Dexter became the one English minister, and an English ministry began. All church officers must hold onto the covenant of raising one multi-ethnic disciple to save one nation. It is not simply one average person. May you enjoy this blessing as you go on the upcoming Kenya, Africa, and Central and South America Panama short-term mission trips.
- What kind of works did God fulfill upon the foundation of the Antioch church?
1) A representative church officer like Barnabas and a representative pastor and evangelist like Paul arose. It said that Barnabas was a good man, filled with the Holy Spirit and faith, and many people were added through him. He had saved the church. Persecutor Paul was someone who had nowhere to stand. However, the Antioch church led him to stand as an evangelist who saved the world. Although it was a church established by unnamed laymen, a historical church officer and pastor arose. Pray for church officers and pastors like this to arise from our church. All of us enjoy that blessing.
2) How much did God bless this Antioch church?
① People acknowledged them as “people of Christ (Christians)” (Acts 11:26).
This is where the term “Christian” emerged. Although it seemed like a mocking title, they were acknowledging them. God will raise us as witnesses who restore this name in this age.
② All people in the Bible lived their lives this way. Although Abraham entered Canaan empty-handed, later, he was acknowledged by all Canaanites as a “lord” (Genesis 21:22, 23:11). Joseph, who was sold as a slave, was acknowledged by the king (Genesis 41:38-40).
3) They commissioned a missionary that saved the world within that blessing. That is today’s passage.
① A five-member team is formed. As they fasted and prayed together, they commissioned a missionary. Various multi-ethnic members and people of different classes became a team for the works that pleased God and began to pray. If a team is made in my life for the works that please God, it will become an eternal blessing. This five-member team can be made centered on a regional church or region. The goal is to commission and support missionaries.
② For them to have been able to commission a missionary means that they received financial blessings to that extent. If the Holy Spirit works upon even the small things we do, a miracle of the five loaves of bread and two fish can take place. When we simply extend small help to the mission field and scatter seeds while doing so, it becomes a 25th-hour blessing to the mission field, me, and all of us.
③ The small ministry they did when they went to the mission field fulfilled God’s works.
They did not do something grand. It was not that they had raised someone with a special worldly background either. They discovered and raised the one person that God had prepared, and the church that was raised through that eventually changed history and the world (the church of Philippi established in Lydia’s house, the church of Corinth established in Priscilla and Aquila’s house, the church of Cenchreae established in Phoebe’s house, etc.). There is much evidence such as this in the mission field. It is because God’s everything is in missions that save all nations.
Conclusion – The 11th short-term mission team is being commissioned to Kenya and Panama. Overall, thirty medical personnel, church officers, and remnants are going. All church members are also commissioned (going mission team and supporting mission team). Although the journey to Africa may be tumultuous, it is all the more meaningful because we are going to a field of a church worker that we have commissioned. Verse four said that Paul and Barnabas were “sent out by the Holy Spirit.” We believe God, who sends us, will guide, protect, and work through the Holy Spirit.
The Answer 25 That the Antioch Church Enjoyed (Acts 13:1-4) Acts 13:1-4Answer 25 of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Blessings 25 of the Anointed (1 Samuel 16:13-18) 6/4/2023
As we greet the 27th anniversary of One Mind Church, we are electing 12 elders, 8 ordained deacons, and 12 encouragers. Generally, there is an ordination for these positions, but in the Bible, they followed an anointing ceremony. In the Bible, elections of individuals began with pouring oil and placing the hand of the servant of the Lord in blessing. We now omit pouring of the oil and just pray with hand on their heads. The blessings God gave after being anointed were different. David of today’s passage is a representative model of that. What kind of works appeared after David, a young adult, received an anointing through the Lord’s servant, Samuel? First, it said that even David’s close friends saw that God was with him (verse 18). Can God being with someone be visible? They had felt some kind of spiritual grace and strength. Although some people mistreated and persecuted him because they did not know, those who knew the spiritual fact felt it. Those who are being ordained must hold onto this blessing.
Second, those who met David came to love him and David was acknowledged by people (verses 21-22). Those whom God is with are bound to enjoy this blessing (Genesis 39:3-5). David had many failures, but he was acknowledged by God and people throughout his entire life and lived as a spiritual leader. You must hold onto this blessing. Third, it is the blessing of spiritual authority that must be enjoyed in the field. King Saul, who was afflicted by evil spirits, was healed after hearing David play his instrument (verse 23). It is an authority that we must enjoy to save people who are spiritually afflicted (Mark 16:17-18). It said that the sick should call for the anointed ones and have them place their hands over the sick and pray for them (James 5:14-16).
- What is the significance of this anointing (ordination) that such works take place?
First, it means that God has set them apart. Why did he set them apart? It is for God to use them for His important works. For that, the Holy Spirit will be with them, and God will pour down the authority and power of the Holy Spirit, wisdom, and blessings.
1) In the Old Testament, there anointing was given for three important offices.
① Office of the priest. The essence of the five books written by Moses. Was the. authority of the priest. The role of the priest was to kill a lamb and spread its blood for those lost in sin and curses, proclaim their forgiveness of sin, and bless them. The authority of the priest was that important. They proclaimed forgiveness of sin and restored blessings for the people.
② Office of the king. From the book of Judges up until Psalms, the essence of the Bible was the authority of a king. The role of a king was to protect the people of God from enemies and lead them to live within God’s blessings and peace. Depending on the king, the quality of the people’s lives was different. The authority of a king was that important.
③ Office of the prophet. From Isaiah to Malachi, the essence of the Bible was the authority of a prophet. When God’s people were suffering from problems, the prophet relayed God’s Word to them and showed them the way that God had prepared.
2) These tasks that people were elected to do was all a prophecy about Christ who will come (Isaiah 61:1). It was foreshadowing the work that Christ, the Son of God, will come and do as the true Priest, King, and Prophet.
① Christ came as the eternal Priest and died like a lamb to free us from all sin, curses, and destiny (Romans 8:1-2). Even if we fail again, if we look upon this Christ and begin. Anew, all blessings will be restored.
② Christ came as the eternal King, and through His resurrection, he crushed the power of Satan that continues to drag our lives into failure, despair, and darkness (1John 3:8). When we believe in the name of this Christ and call on Him, demons will flee in fear. When those who are struggling with nightmares, depression, and hearing voices fight in the authority of Christ, it will end.
③ Christ came as the eternal Priest and became the way to meet God and became our eternal future (John 14:6). For that, He is with those who have accepted Christ. We can entrust our future as well as our children’s future. No matter how difficult this world is, there is a separate path that the believers will walk on and separate answers and blessings that believers will receive.
- God has given this blessing of the anointed to us who are saved. What does this mean?
1) He called all believers “chosen people, a royal priesthood” (1Peter 2:9).
① When we learned of the authority of Christ and accepted Him, we became someone that possess His authority. For this, he sealed us in Holy Spirit the moment we accepted (Ephesians 1:13), is with us in Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18), allows us to fight and overcome Satan with the power of the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:28), and promised us the authority of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
② Now, the life we live will be evidence and we will become witnesses to the ends of the earth. The ends of the earth does not only mean physical distance. All the suffering, despair, and darkness that we and the rest of the world experiences is the ends of the earth. As long as we have the authority of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, we will be witnesses wherever we go (2Corinthians 5:20).
③ When believers do not know the authority and power in Christ, who would be laughing inside in happiness? It would be Satan. This is why some believers end up falling into depression and suffering from suicidal ideation. They also sometimes leave the church and follow the world.
2) Who is responsible for this? It is the responsibility of the pastors and church officers that God has raised to help these individuals. When we do not know the authority that Christ gives and the power that the Holy Spirit gives, there is nothing we can do.
① The moment we received salvation, we became people of the Holy Spirit. We possess the right and the authority to continuously enjoy the anointing of the Holy Spirit (filling of the Holy Spirit). We must confirm this every day (3 todays). We must hold onto the Word, confirm the Word in prayer, and save ourselves first. This is the first bartizan of a church officer.
② Church officers are anointed as the commanders for spiritual warfare that must stand before the congregation. Church officers are those who stand in the front (Presbytery). In warfare, the role of the commanding officer in the front is very important. Because you are at the front, you must strengthen yourself. If the frontline crumbles in battle, everyone will crumble. Pray for the restoration of 5 powers. Because you are at the front, you may become the target for Satan. That is why you must stay alert for your family and your church that you must protect. However, because you are at the front, God must give you greater evidence. That is why you must hold onto the covenant of 3,9,3 and pray for the blessing of the throne. Even despair and impossible things turn into unprecedented works when the power of the throne that transcends time and space works upon them (answer 25). Church officers can save the church and the future generations as they enjoy this blessing. This is the second bartizan of a church officer.
③ Church officers are anointed as evangelism disciples that will save the field. This is the third bartizan that church officers must raise up. Just as Jesus raised up 70 layman disciples, the church officers are called and anointed as the 70 disciples of this age. He even gave the disciples the authority to break down the darkness of the field when he sent them out (Luke 10:19). We are the lighthouses, and the lighthouse keeper of our fields. Then, they go out to the 237 nations. All the true church officers of the Early Church lived this way. A lot of persecution and suffering also followed them, but God promised them 100 fold, and they enjoyed the eternal things (Mark 10:29-30).
Conclusion – May all the congregation and the church officers being anointed today hold onto this covenant of the anointing and stand within lifelong 25 blessings.
Blessings 25 of the Anointed (1 Samuel 16:13-18) 6/4/2023 June 4, 2023The Answer 25 of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC: 5 /28/2023
The Answer 25 That Raises a Figure like Samuel (1 Samuel 2:18-21)
Samuel is one of the Biblical figures that parents want as a model for their children. That is how important he was; he enjoyed that many answers and blessings. There is another reason why Samuel is especially favored. Most individuals in the Bible become great figures by going through difficulties and failures, but Samuel did not undergo such times. There was only one instance of hardship for Samuel. He was raised and ran errands in the temple from a young age because of his mother’s, Hannah, vow. However, it was a great privilege for him to be raised under the priest’s blessing and guidance and be trained as a future leader. As he received these blessings and training, Samuel became a historical leader. In the Bible, Samuel played an important role in raising King Saul and David and opening the period of the monarchy. Three verses stress how preciously Samuel was raised. First, “the boy Samuel grew up in the presence of the Lord” (verse 21). Second, “the boy Samuel continued to grow in stature and in favor with the Lord and with people” (1 Samuel 2:26). Because he received God’s love and blessings, Samuel inevitably received the love and blessings of others also (Luke 2:52). Third, “the Lord was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). This means that Samuel had evidence of the power and authority that God gave him. It is the spiritual summit blessing that comes from these three combined. It becomes a tremendous blessing if we can raise an individual like this in our church, field, or household. How can such a figure be raised?
- All believers have the covenant of this blessing and can enjoy it.
The beginning of this was the covenant given to Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3). All believers in Christ are those who will enjoy this blessing (Galatians 3:29). How did Abraham enter into this blessing, and what is the content of that covenant?
1) What was the first thing God said to Abraham after choosing him?
He was told to leave his country, people, and his father’s household. God was telling Abraham to leave the curses and fate that had been relayed in his household and change his spiritual background to enjoy God’s blessings. For us to have been saved in Christ means that our spiritual background has changed, that all fate, curses, and hell have ended and that we have become children of God.
2) There are five covenants given to people who have become children.
① It says that you are a source of blessings. It is the blessing of the source. We became those who will enjoy the background and blessing of heaven, the source of all things.
② It says that your name will be great. It is a representative blessing. This goes beyond ourselves and our family. The gospel reached Korea which was amidst poverty, curses, and suffering a century ago. Korea received a great blessing and became a nation that sends missionaries.
③ It says that you will be made into a great nation. It is the blessing of the posterity, a monumental blessing. A posterity that leads the churches to receive and enjoy answers and blessings must rise. Thus, Sunday school education, Summit School, and the remnant movement are important. We are seeing the future.
④ It says that all people on earth will be blessed through you. This is the blessing of evangelism and missions.
⑤ It says that He will curse those who curse you. No matter how much evil the darkness does, it cannot block this answer and blessing. It is an irresistible blessing. Even if difficulties come again, we just need to continuously enjoy victory in the spiritual battle by faith.
- There needs to be a covenantal contract between God and me for me to enjoy the blessing of the covenant being fulfilled in my life.
The covenantal contract’s content comprises my faith, devotion, and vow toward God.
1) All we need to do is believe in God’s promise. It seems the easiest thing to do, but it is the most difficult. My scars, worldly knowledge, and experiences have long become my standard, level, and norm. I must change the standard and imprints of my thoughts. The method to do so is Romans 10:17. That is why we repeatedly listen to the word of the gospel and Christ. In the old testament, it is the principle of burnt offering. One day, the faith to overcome my present reality and the world comes forth. Even if it is a small faith, the result is tremendous (Matthew 17:20).
2) What is devotion? It is the act of giving myself as I give thanks for being saved and the answers I have received (worship, time, talent, offering). In the old testament, the offering of devotion is a grain offering. The more grain offering and devotion of thanksgiving we give, the greater the answers. Hannah gave Samuel to God. We must not be shaken when devoting ourselves (1 Corinthians 15:58).
3) What is a vow? It is something I do when I want to draw deeper with God and desire to do something important. This can be done in deep difficulty or when God shows us a great dream and vision. Samuel is the son that Hannah received as she vowed amidst deep conflict due to child problems. Pau saw the great vision of Rome evangelism, shaved his head, and made a vow (Acts 18:18). Fasting prayer is a way of vowing. In the Old Testament, the offering given at this time is called a peace offering. Those who are to be ordained need to prepare with the determination to give this peace offering. A peace offering is given voluntarily. The offering of an animal is determined by the given blessing, and the individual needs to slaughter the offering himself.
- The training that Samuel, the subject of these blessings and answers, received.
No one can be used without training. This is all the more true for individuals who enjoy important answers and will be used importantly.
1) Samuel always lived in the temple. This does not mean that you need to leave the house and live in the temple. Live a life that keeps close to the church. It means a life that is centered on worship and the church in which Christ is the head. The twelve tribes of Israel positioned themselves centered on the Tabernacle when passing through the wilderness (world). It is not just about distance. It is being centered on Christ and loving the church as I love Christ (bartizan of the gospel).
2) He always lived guarding the ark of the covenant (1 Samuel 3:3). This is the mystery of prayer. The blessing has already been prepared, but if we live fearing the environment and reality and fall into worldly temptations, we lose hold of the spiritual blessings. We must no longer be deceived and stolen from. Thus, we must fight with prayer, have victory, and protect (bartizan of prayer). When Samuel prayed, the Philistines that brought difficulty upon the Israelites were destroyed (1 Samuel 7:5-10).
3) One day, we hear God’s voice as we enjoy this blessing. It is the time to realize the mission (bartizan of evangelism and missions). Surely, there is a work that God desires to do through me and my family (heavenly mandate, calling, mission). We have gone on the last twelve medical missions holding onto this heavenly mandate, calling, and mission, and it is the same this year.
Conclusion – The one disciple, witness, and remnant like Samuel are important. That one who is used in God’s absolute plan can be literally one person or twelve individuals like the twelve disciples, or seventy individuals like the seventy disciples. It just means the least we can do is one person. May ourselves, our family, posterity, and all believers be in this blessing.
The Answer 25 That Raises a Figure like Samuel (1 Samuel 2:18-21) 1 Samuel 2:18-21The Answer 25 of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC: 5 /14/2023
The Answer 25 That Me and My Household Must Enjoy (Joshua 24:14-18)
This was the last sermon Joshua gave after completing the Canaan conquest and while finishing his lifelong ministry. He gave an important confession in the sermon. He confessed, “For me and my household, we will serve the Lord” (verse 15). There are three meanings within this. First, it was his final encouragement to all Israelites. In other words, he emphasized that serving God is life’s everything. He reminded them how God had saved the Israelites, protected them in the wilderness, and led them to triumph over their enemies (verses 17-18). If a nation’s leader can give such a sermon to the people, that nation and people are truly blessed. Our posterity and we are the last runners who will determine whether America will be a crumbling Babylon or a nation God uses. Hence, God raised “the remaining ones” and “the church of the remaining ones” in the powerful nations of each age. Second, it was his encouragement to his family and children. As he gave the sermon to the people, he gave a confession of thanksgiving for his family and asked that they would continuously live that way. Joshua’s posterity followed that, and figures who inherited Joshua’s faith and blessing continuously emerged from that posterity. During the age of judges after Joshua’s time, four judges were his descendants (representatively: Deborah and Gideon). Third, in the end, this confession was his confession of faith. The word “me” in “me and my household” refers to Joshua himself. It was a confession to God, whom he had served his whole life and a confession that he desired to finish his life’s journey in Him.
- What kind of journey was Joshua’s life journey?
1) Joshua truly lived a journey of the remaining one in that age.
① Joshua’s childhood and youth upbringing and development can be seen when looking at the time he was called one of the twelve spies. When all the ten spies had unbelief and led all the Israelites to fear, Joshua and Caleb were the only ones who confessed faith (Joshua 14:30). This is the faith and life of the remaining ones.
② Where did this faith come from? It was the parent and household’s role, and Joshua grew up within that blessing. Remnants must give this thanksgiving in their life. Even if there may be other inadequacies, give thanks for being in this line of the covenant because my parents, or at least one of my parents, are in the line of the covenant and a church that relays the covenant.
2) Joshua truly lived a journey of a pilgrim in that age. Simply put, to have lived as a pilgrim meant that he always looked upon God and lived as a witness that deeply enjoyed a relationship with God.
① As a young adult, he remained in the Tabernacle, ran errands, and stayed close to the ark of the covenant (Exodus 24:4-5, 33:11).
② It was Moses who helped Joshua to live this way. It said that Joshua served Moses (Joshua 1:1). He received Moses’ guidance and all blessings together. Behind individuals who were used in each age were the guidance and support of spiritual leaders.
3) Joshua truly lived a journey of a victor in that age. Joshua was a courageous warrior, but above everyone else, he opened his eyes to spiritual warfare and triumphed in every war by God’s power.
① Israel's first battle in the wilderness after coming out of Egypt was the war with the Amalekites. This battle was won through the deep prayer of Moses and the first-generation church officers who helped him (Aaron, Hur).
② After becoming a leader and entering Canaan, Joshua fought many wars (representatively, the battle of Jericho). He woke up earlier than everyone else and knelt before God (Joshua 3:1, 6:12). He knew our fight was not of flesh and blood (Ephesians 6:12). Thus, he looked upon God’s power.
- How can we live such a life and raise a family and posterity like this?
He said, “Me and my household will serve the Lord,” but how should we serve? Three bartizans must be raised.
1) The bartizan of the gospel. Simply put, the gospel is God's answer for all the problems of all lives and the world. However, people hold onto incorrect answers in their lives.
① God sent His Son because it could not be done by mankind. He is the Christ (Luke 2:10). He solved the fundamental curse of all worldly and individual problems through His death on the cross and resurrection. It is the original curse, Satan’s curse, and the curse of eternal hell. Humans are born with a sinful nature (Romans 3:10, Romans 5:12). They have no choice but to grow eviler as time goes on. Satan, who tempted the first life, Adam, continues to deceive and lead people to corruption and curses (John 10:10). Going to Hell is fearsome, yet, they spend their life already living a life of hell.
② Christ, all at once, completely and eternally, finished these three curses (John 19:30). All you need to do is not be deceived. We have already been delivered (Romans 8:1-2). We are free (John 8:32). We are the children who will have victory with Christ (Romans 8:17). Although Satan deceives us with our hidden scars, present reality, and persistent problems, He changes all things to good (Romans 8:32). This faith must be imprinted in my thoughts and soul. This faith must come forth in pivotal moments.
③ Change everything to thanksgiving. It is true faith only when thanksgiving comes forth (Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 4:2). Give thanks that I have been saved, that I live as a child of God, and give thanks with the faith that even problems will become a blessing. A life and family that has thanksgiving, that in itself is already heaven. This kind of system and bartizan must be established.
2) The bartizan of prayer. The time for this gospel to be actually rooted in my family and me, become our nature, and bear fruit is the time of prayer.
① Without prayer, there is no way to drive out and defeat Satan, who tries to deceive and attack us relentlessly (Mark 9:29).
② If we do not receive God’s governance in prayer, we cannot overcome ourselves (Luke 17:21). You live your life’s entirety being deceived by yourself.
③ My posterity and I can never be used for God’s great works without prayer (John 14:12-14). I must first raise the bartizan of prayer, enter into prayer, and create the time for my family to pray together.
3) The bartizan of evangelism. Joshua was not a leader who conquered Canaan to oppress it. It was a conquest that saved Canaan to save the world.
① Pray for my household to become an evangelist household that can save anybody (M.H). Pray that my household and I can be the light in my region covered in darkness and maintain good relationships with neighbors. It will become a door.
② Make the resolution that my household and I will save one of the 237 nations, pray, and give offerings and devotion. God will give the financial blessings that can save the 237 nations. The blessing of the throne is established when one holds onto the covenant, and there is a reason.
Conclusion – It is Family Month. May it be a month of restoring the bartizan that gives God no choice but to work upon me and my household.
The Answer 25 That Me and My Household Must Enjoy (Joshua 24:14-18) Joshua 24:14-18Answer 25 That Will Save the Superpower Nation (Revelation 18:1-3) 5/7/2023
The passage says that in the end times, the great city of Babylon will fall, and that place will become a dwelling for demons.
What is this Babylon the Great? It is saying that the incident of Tower of Babel in Genesis 11 will repeat every age. What was this incident of the Tower of Babel? It symbolizes the fallen state of mankind that lives centered on achieving success. Historically speaking, it represents the superpower nation where people who possess the most power in the world gather. The first Empire of Mesopotamia began at the time of Babel Tower. In that empire, many temples for people to worship idols were established. That is the Babel Tower. To become a superpower nation, they must gather people through wars or immigration. In that land, all the idols also come with the people that come. The superpower nation oof that age becomes the dwelling for demons, and that is why dirty spirits gather. This is the reason Paul wanted to see Rome. He saw Rome as the end of the earth.
When a superpower nation falls, the entire world suffers. Our reality today is the same. As countries like Europe, United States, Russia, and China fall, the entire world faces suffering spiritually, financially, and financially. If we cannot enjoy answers and be used to save America, this superpower nation, then our lives will be full of suffering (Lot who crumbled in the land of Sodom and Gomorrah). God raised the 7 remnants during their respective ages as witnesses in their superpower nation. God desires to raise witnesses that will save the superpower nations even today, and we are the ones who are called for that work. This is the absolute reason we must live in this land and enjoy answer 25.
- Why is this superpower nation crumbling?
1) It is the work of all the demonic spirits that have gathered in the superpower nation (3). A superpower nation is not only a bartizan for Satan, but the headquarters (Revelation 2:9). This is the spiritual flow of a superpower nation.
2) The problem is that these spirits hold tremendous power and is in control of everything (Ephesians 6:12). It is like how those who were worshipping idols in the Tower of Babel became the greatest summits of that age. Believers have lost hold of this blessing.
3) The churches that should be winning the spiritual warfare that arises in this superpower nation are rather crumbling. What is the most important term in the Book of Revelation? It is spiritual warfare in the end times. It says that Satan and demonic spirits, the corrupt spirits from the beginning, have come to the world and are standing to fight against “the rest of her offspring,” those who have the evidence of Christ (Revelation 12:17). The churches and the believers who should be winning this fight are losing. That is why churches in Europe and America are dying.
- Then, what is God’s method?
Will God let the believers continue to lose everything, churches crumble, and the world continuously suffer? God has left behind those who will follow Christ amidst all of that, protect their faith, and have victory in this spiritual war.
1) Another important term in Revelation is “the remaining ones.” There are churches (7 churches) that those remaining ones will protect. There are 144,000 people who have not been sealed by animals (Satan), but by God (Revelation 7:4).
2) These are people who follow only Christ (Revelation 14:4). It signifies the disciples. This is the reason Jesus raised twelve disciples and 70 workers. God has called us as the disciples of this age (Upper Room movement). These people will stand as the two witnesses who possess God’s authority, the two olive trees and two lampstands (Revelation 11:3-4). One witness is the pastoral disciple, and the other is the layman disciple. They will receive anointing of the Holy Spirit at the olive tree, and like a lampstand, will shine the light to this world covered in darkness.
3) There are three missions that these disciples must do. They must raise a bartizan (Missionary training message). What is a bartizan? It is a place, time, and a system where God has no choice but to work. If we raise up this bartizan, God Himself will raise up His watchmen, send his army to fight and win, and make everything turn into evidence.
① The bartizan of God raised within me. Ultimately, I myself must live. God intends to use me. God has freed us from all sin throough Christ, and he has made us into his kingdom and priests (Revelation 1:5-6). Now, we must have a time to concentrate on only Christ (Acts 1:1), God’s kingdom (Acts 1:3), and the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Christ- no problem is a problem (Acts 1:1). God’s kingdom – we enjoy the state in which He governs over us (Luke 17:21). Power of the Holy Spirit – God gives us the strength to fight against ourselves, Satan, and the world (Zechariah 4:6-7).
② The bartizan of God raised within the church. It is not just a church. It is a church that possesses the mystery of “only.” It says that a church is like the seven gold candlesticks that overcomes the darkness. Christ holds seven stars in one hand which are the churches (Revelation 1:10-20). If the church holds onto and proclaims of this only Christ, then that church will never fall. Christ Himself will fight (Revelation 17:14). That is when the bartizan of Satan will fall. When all the believers hold onto this “only” and form oneness, then through that church, the works of uniqueness and recreation will arise.
③ The bartizan that must be raised in all 237 nations. Through evangelism and missions, we are changing the flow of the world. First, there are people from all 237 nations where we live in America. Connect and apply all meetings, work, and incidents to evangelism. Moreover, pray for the missionaries, support them, go on short-term mission trips, and have virtual ministries all around the world. This is raising the bartizan for 237 nations. We are doing something small, but God fulfills works that transcend time and space.
- There are three specific missions we must do for these three bartizans (World Missions Convention message). It is a detailed method by which we can fight the spiritual battle and have victory. It is connected to the three courts that that must be present in the church.
1) All church officers must hold onto the mission of taking care of one nation (the court of Gentiles). Choose one nation and pray for them. Help the missionaries serving in that nation and give offering. Consider every multi-ethnic member as precious. Our prayers, offerings, and servitude of love will be brought up to heaven through angels (Revelation 8:3-4).
2) We must realistically experience the power of prayer (court of prayer). The only way for the strong fortress of Satan to crumble is by praying holding only onto the name of Christ (Matthew 17:21, Mark 9:29). That strong fortress of Satan exists within us, our families, and our fields. Satan cannot win against believers who pray. When we cast away all thoughts and words of unbelief and truly pray, God will guide everything according to His will.
3) We must raise up the remnants and especially TCKs to prepare for the future (court of children). These remnants are the future of families, future of the church, and the future of the world. We only have a short period of time. This is why the Sunday School ministry and the Summit School (Friday, Saturday school) are important. Look for things you can do.
Conclusion – It is the last mission that Christ gave us, and the conclusion of Revelation. We are to enjoy Christ that ascended to heaven now and wait for the day that he will return. There will come a day when all wars cease (Revelation 19:14). There will come a time where all tears will be wiped and we will be met with eternal glory and victory (Revelation 21:7). We are living today while looking forward to that day. Then our daily lives will become the answers and blessings of that day. May these seven missions (seven bartizans) will be fulfilled and may we stand as the witnesses to save America and the 237 nations.
Answer 25 That Will Save the Superpower Nation (Revelation 18:1-3) 5/7/2023 May 7, 2023The 25 Hour Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC: 4/2/2023
The 25-Hour Answer that Was Experienced in the Power of Resurrection
(1 Corinthians 15:3-11)
The resurrection is Christ’s death of redemption and the core of Christianity and the gospel. Christ showed the evidence that He is the Son of God through His resurrection (Romans 1:4). Therefore, the salvation we receive when we believe in Christ is complete, and we, who proclaim that gospel, are glorious. No one else in the world has ever resurrected. It is impossible for humans. Hence, the Son of God came. If there were no resurrection of Christ, then we would not have new and eternal life. Although we can receive the forgiveness of sins through Christ’s death, curses would not have ended. When life amidst curses becomes a new life and blessing, that is complete salvation. If there were no resurrection of Christ, we would have no future. If it ended with death, what future would there be? Eternal life and future would not even have been an option. It said we would be the most pitied in the world (verse 19). Thus, the resurrection is the blessing of all blessings and the answer of all answers. It is the power of recreation. Are you weak? Have you failed? Are you in despair? Christ, who resurrected from the dead, can carry out new works (recreation) in my life. That is the 25-hour answer.
- How can I enjoy the blessing and answer of the resurrection in all my life’s problems?
1) Start by holding onto the evidence of the resurrection.
We do not believe in a lie or something vague.
① Works of recreation occur when I believe Christ has resurrected and He is alive and with me as Spirit. If His death was the end, there is nothing more to take place. However, my life can become a miracle and mystery every day, and I see hope and a future because He is alive right now.
② What did God say He would do through us? It does not matter what kind of problems and despair come. He said He will do great and unimaginable things (Jeremiah 33:3), new works (Isaiah 43:18-19), and work all things for good (Romans 8:28). This is possible because the God we believe in is living and alive through the power of resurrection.
2) There is three evidence of Christ’s resurrection. These are evidence that we must never lose hold.
① It was fulfilled according to the prophecies of the Bible (verses 3-4). The evidence is the Bible, which was recorded over thousand years. It was all accurately prophesied and fulfilled; how he came (Genesis 3:15, Isaiah 7:14), where He came (Matthew 5:2), through whose descendants He came (Genesis 49:10, Isaiah 11:1), how He died (Isaiah 53:5-6), and how He will rise again (Psalm 16:10).
② The evidence that those who saw or believed the resurrection experienced (verses 5-8). It said that Jesus first sought Peter (Cephas), who had denied and cursed Him and the other disciples. They would have been extremely ashamed. However, God changed them and had them save the world. It also said that last of all, He appeared to Paul, one untimely born. Despite knowing the Bible and claiming to live for God, Paul had not believed in Christ’s resurrection and ran the Devil’s errands. However, God changed Paul and used him as an evangelist who saved all kings and Gentiles. This is the power of resurrection and recreation.
③ A more important evidence is the evidence that works upon all who believe (verse 11). Meditate on this just a little bit. The fact that the person beside me has been saved is a miracle. The fact that I, who have never seen the resurrection, believe in Christ, have accepted Him, and have been saved, is also a miracle. It is a miracle that comes from God’s absolute power and grace of choosing and calling me among all others and saving me. God will continue to carry out works of recreation in my life (Philippians 1:6).
3) Do not be shaken, dismayed, and given up under any circumstances. Change everything into thanksgiving. We have received countless grace and answers, yet we forget all that. Instead, we resent and even despair when problems come.
① Miracles take place when we restore thanksgiving during worship, prayer, and in our day to day (Psalms 50:23). During the miracle of the five loaves of bread and two fish, the Lord gave thanks to God with the five loaves of bread and two fish (John 6:11).
② Find the small things, remember them, and train to give thanks. Especially give thanks to God, who will give us victory in all problems (verse 57). It only takes a small crack for a massive dam to collapse; miracles occur when small pieces of thanksgiving and faith come together.
- What we must do going forth.
Create a space and time that bounds God to have no choice but to work in my life (bartizan).
1) There are three roles of a bartizan. It is the three types of bartizans.
① It is the role of protecting me, my family, and my people (bartizan of watchmen, bartizan of prayer). In military terms, it is a sentry post. It said that when David became king, he raised bartizans in different places and placed a thousand shields for warriors there (Song of Solomon 4:4). Satan continues to attack us with our weaknesses, hidden scars, and difficulty trying to deceive us. There must be someone preparing to fight and protect. It says God will first raise watchmen when we pray (Isaiah 62:6).
② It is the role of transmitting/relaying important news (bartizan of the antenna, bartizan of evangelism). The people on the bartizan spot those who run up to notify important information and forward that. The early church members raised these bartizans in each region and spread the gospel of resurrection to the world.
③ People gather there daily and shine the light (bartizan of the platform, bartizan of missions). The members of Mark’s Upper Room who had nothing still went into the world amidst persecution. It is because the resurrected Christ promised to be with us to the ends of the earth (Matthew 28:18-20). They healed the world (Mark 16:14-20), went to the end of the earth, and stood as witnesses (Acts 1:8). People gathered around them. This is why we commission missionaries, support them, and go on short-term mission trips. We build a platform and support it. Our church is also becoming a platform where various multi-ethnic individuals gather in the United States.
2) The resurrected Christ works upon these three bartizans (blessing of 3,9,3).
① The resurrected Christ is on the heavenly throne now. It said that signs followed whenever the disciples prayed in Christ’s name and proclaimed that very name (Mark 16:18-20). Difficulties will continue worldwide (Matthew 24). However, all problems will become signs when we look upon the throne.
② What kind of signs are they? First, I will continuously be strengthened and be revived (answer and blessing of Genesis 1:27, 2:7, 2:18). That answer transcends time and space. It comes as the power of light that saves lives and defeats darkness and as an unprecedented work. Therefore, there is no need to be discouraged and despaired. The resurrected Christ has promised us victory (verses 55-58).
③ We save the three ages with this blessing and answer (crumbling field, church, posterity).
Conclusion – Restore the faith that looks upon the resurrected Christ who is with me and will work in my life. There is no despair because of the resurrection. There is only the 25-hour answer and the future that God has prepared. May it be a new start.
The 25-Hour Answer that Was Experienced in the Power of Resurrection (1 Corinthians 15:3-11) 1 Corinthians 15:3-11The 25 Hour Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
25 Hour Answer that Prostitute Rahab Experienced (Joshua 2:8-13) 4/2/2023
The 25-hour answer if God’s absolute power, and the absolute blessings and answers that come from it. The world calls it miracles, and in theology, they call it supernatural providence. In other words, it is the evidence that God is alive. No matter how difficult the world is, or how weak and lacking my life may be, if we can enjoy the works of God, nothing will be a problem.
What is the miracle of all miracles? Many supernatural works are important, but the most important miracle is when a person goes through change. Can a person really change? No one can change on their own. However, it is possible when God works. This is not about the change is one’s personality or character. God changes the fate of a person, and everything thereafter.
The representative model from the passage is Rahab. Rahab was a woman that enjoyed at least three absolute blessings.
First, she was the only woman that received salvation when the city of Jericho was under complete destruction. We are within that. When Christ returns and the entire world faces judgement, we are the ones who received salvation.
Second, this woman had been ignored and oppressed by people but became a precious woman before God.
Prostitute means that she sold food and alcohol, as well as her body. A woman like this became one of the figures of faith mentioned in Hebrews 11. The lowest became the most precious, and the worthless became the worthiest. God desires to bless and use us who are lacking in this way even today.
Third, the world was changed through this woman. When the fate of one woman changed, through her descendants came King David, and later, Christ himself. Why did it have to be a woman like Rahab? That is the power of the gospel, and if we are inside the gospel, we can also be used this way. That is the blessing of the throne and the 25-hour answer.
- How were miracles like this possible? It was God’s absolute sovereignty that chose this woman and gave her grace.
The important thing is that God chose this woman, and when God gave her grace, it was her choice and her response.
1) Rahab chose salvation.
God surely gives us a chance to receive salvation. Then what is this salvation?
① It goes beyond merely going to church, receiving consolation, and going to heaven when we die. Salvation in simple words is changing our fate that we couldn’t ever escape. All the problems we face, failures, pain, tears are all part of our fate. If our fate does not change, all of that will be passed down to our children (Exodus 20:4-5). There are three reasons that cause our fate (original sin, sins of our ancestors, Satan that works in the background). If we do not meet God, we will suffer from these.
② The one who solved this curse is Christ. Because mankind cannot solve it, the Son had to come down himself, die and resurrect. He comes to us even today to give us that salvation that changes our fate through Christ (Revelation 3:20). Rahab was able to realize the way of salvation through the spies, and she accepted them (Hebrews 11:31). That is why that one evangelist is important. It changes one’s fate, as well as the future of the world.
③ How does Rahab’s fate change? We are no longer a part of the people that are under destruction. Our lives are no longer meant to be lived as a prostitute and end there. That woman is now a child of God (John 1:12), a people of God (Ephesians 2:19), and will be used as a witness in front of the world.
2) Rahab chose the covenant. Rahab asked the two spies for a certain proof the promise (12). That symbol was the scarlet cord (18, 21).
① What does this scarlet cord represent? It is the covenant of the blood of Christ that finished all curses. When Jericho fell, and all was under judgement, no one could touch Rahab and her family that hung the scarlet cord.
② When we hold onto this accurate covenant of Christ, our past, present, and future problems all end. It does not matter if we have an embarrassing past. It does not matter if we face hardships today. It does not matter if we face problems tomorrow. When we hold onto the covenant of the blood of Christ, no problem can oppress or destroy us. This is experiencing Mount Calvary. The Israelites experienced this in Egypt (Exodus 12:27), and they experienced this again while being circumcised during the war in Canaan (Joshua 5:9).
3) Rahab chose the future and eternity.
① In a way, Rahab becoming a person of God means she will be a traitor to the Canaanites. This is something that the 1st generation who received the gospel may go through. Only when they look to the future that God has prepared, can they overcome that.
② Although it may seem like a loss, like we are facing injustice, and we are being shamed, but that will undoubtedly come as fruitful blessings. Rahab becomes the ancestor of the royal family of David, and the fact that we was able to stand in the line of the most precious individuals was her choice and the fruit that came from it (Galatians 6:7-8). This is why we store up everything in heaven (Matthew 6:19-20), and look towards not earthly things, but things from above (throne) (Colossians 3:1-4).
- Now, what must we do with this blessing?
We must build a bartizan. A bartizan is a space and time for God to work in my life, problem, and field. Although it seemed coincidental, Rahab’s house was under Jericho’s bartizan. Rahab’s life became a bartizan.
1) We must build a bartizan that saves ourselves (bartizan of prayer).
Everything becomes a conflict and difficulty if there is no one-on-one time and space to meet with God. One crumble when problems come. The Triune God fulfills the three blessings that save me. God’s image becomes restored in me (Genesis 1:27), God’s power comes upon me (Genesis 2:7), and God’s government and blessing comes upon all things (Genesis 2:18). This needs to be set as my spiritual system in whatever problems that come, in my day to day, and even in during travel.
2) We must build a bartizan for my family, church, and posterity (bartizan of evangelism).
My household, church, and posterity are connected. My household is the church. When gathering, it becomes a temple church. The posterity is the future church. When a historical figure comes forth from a household, someone becomes a bartizan, and a watchman is raised there. When you pray looking upon the throne, an answer that transcends time and space comes, and doors of evangelism open as the power of light takes place.
3) We must build a bartizan for my region and the five thousand people groups (bartizan of missions).
Two spies went to Jericho and met a disciple like Rahab. David and Christ, who saved the world, came through her descendants. It said that Rahab kindly served the spies (verse 12). The blessing Rahab enjoyed was the fruit of kindly serving the evangelist (Matthew 10:40-42). This is why serving evangelists is important. Our posterity will arise as missionaries that look to the 237 this way.
Conclusion – We may be shameful and lowly people like Rahab, the prostitute. God raised Rahab and established a household and family line that saved the age and changed the world. May we be in that blessing and answer.
25 Hour Answer that Prostitute Rahab Experienced (Joshua 2:8-13) 4/2/2023 April 2, 20231,2,3 RUTC 응답 25 : 기생 라합이 체험한 응답 25(수2:8-13) 4/2/2023
응답 25는 하나님의 절대 능력이고, 거기서 나오는 절대 축복과 절대 응답이다. 세상에서는 기적이라고 하고, 신학적으로는 초자연적인 섭리라고 한다. 그것은 다른 말로 하면 하나님이 살아계심에 대한 증거이다. 아무리 세상이 어렵고, 내 인생이 약하고 부족해도 하나님의 역사를 누리며 살면 아무것도 문제가 되지 않는다.
그런데 기적 중에 기적이 무엇일까? 여러 가지 초자연적인 역사도 중요하지만 진짜 중요한 기적은 사람이 바뀌는 것이다. 사람이 정말 바뀔 수 있을까? 사람 스스로는 안 된다. 그러나 하나님이 하시면 된다. 이것은 단순히 성격이나 인격이 바뀌는 차원이 아니다. 하나님은 한 사람의 운명을 바꾸고, 그 이후에 모든 것을 바꾸는 것이다.
본문의 기생 라합이 대표적인 모델이 되는 것이다. 라합은 적어도 세가지의 절대 축복을 누린 여인이다.
첫째는 여리고성이 완전히 멸망을 받을 때에 유일하게 구원을 받은 여인이다. 우리가 그 속에 있다. 그리스도께서 다시 오시는 날, 온 세상이 심판받는 시간이 올 때에 유일하게 구원받을 자로 있는 것이다.
둘째로 이 여인은 사람들에게는 무시당하고 짓밟히는 여인이었는데, 하나님께는 너무 존귀한 여인이 된 것이다.
기생이라고 한 것은 밥을 팔면서 술을 팔고, 몸도 파는 여인이라는 뜻인데, 이런 여인이 히11장에 등장하는 믿음의 조상들의 대열에 들어간다. 가장 낮은 자가 가장 존귀한 자로, 가장 가치없는 자가 가장 가치있는 자가 된 것이다. 하나님은 지금도 부족한 우리를 이렇게 축복하고 쓰시기를 원하시는 것이다.
셋째로 이 여인을 통해 세계가 바뀐 것이다. 한 여인의 운명이 바뀌니 그 후손을 통해 다윗 왕이 나오고, 그리스도가 오신 것이다. 하나님이 쓰실 수 있는 사람이 많을 것인데, 왜 하필이면 이런 여인이었을까? 그것이 복음의 능력이고, 그 복음 안에 있으면 우리도 그렇게 쓰임받을 수 있다는 것이다. 그것이 보좌의 축복과 응답 25이다.
- 어떻게 이런 기적이 가능했을까? 결국은 이 여인을 택하시고, 은혜를 주신 하나님의 절대 주권이다.
중요한 것은 하나님이 이 여인을 택하시고, 은혜의 기회를 주실 때 이 여인의 선택이고, 반응이었다.
1) 이 라합은 구원을 선택한 것이다.
분명히 하나님은 우리에게 구원받을 기회를 주신다. 그렇다면 그 구원이라는 것이 도대체 무엇인가?
① 구원은 단순히 교회를 다니고, 그래서 위로도 받고, 그러다 죽으면 천국 가는 정도가 아니다.
구원은 한마디로 하면 절대로 벗어날 수 없는 내 인생의 운명을 바꾸는 것이다. 우리가 겪는 모든 문제, 실패, 아픔, 눈물, 전부 운명이다. 내 인생의 운명이 안 바뀌면 그것은 반드시 후대에게 전달된다(출20:4-5)
운명을 만드는 세가지 이유가 있다(원죄, 조상 죄, 그 배후의 사단). 하나님 만나지 못하면 반드시 당한다.
② 이 저주를 해결하신 분이 그리스도이시다. 인간 스스로 안 되니까 아들이 오셔서 직접 죽으시고 부활한 것이다.
그 그리스도를 통해 운명이 바뀌는 구원을 받으라고 지금도 우리에게 찾아오셔서 기회를 주신다(계3:20)
라합은 정탐꾼들을 통해 운명을 바꿀 수 있는 구원의 길을 알게 되었고, 이들을 영접했다고 했다(히11:31)
그래서 전도자 한 사람이 중요한 것이다. 한 사람의 운명을 바꾸고, 세상의 미래도 바꾸는 것이다.
③ 이 라합의 운명이 어떻게 바뀌는가?
더 이상 멸망 당할 백성에 속한 자가 아니다. 더 이상 기생으로 살다 끝날 인생이 아니다.
그 여인은 이제 하나님의 자녀이고(요1:12), 하나님의 백성이고(엡2:19), 세상 앞에 증인으로 쓰임받는 것이다.
2) 이 라합은 언약을 선택한 것이다.
라합은 이 두 정탐꾼들에게 정확한 약속의 증표를 달라고 했다(12절). 그 징표가 “붉은 줄”이었다(18절, 21절)
① 이 “붉은 줄”이 무엇을 의미하는가? 그리스도의 피로 모든 저주가 끝나는 언약이다.
여리고가 무너지고, 심판을 받을 때에 이 붉은 줄을 걸고 있는 라합과 그 가족은 누구도 손댈 수가 없다.
② 우리가 정확한 그리스도의 언약을 잡을 때에 우리의 과거, 현재, 미래의 모든 문제가 끝나는 것이다.
내 과거에 부끄러운 일이 있어도 상관없다. 지금 어려움이 있어도 상관없다. 앞으로 또 문제가 와도 상관없다.
그리스도의 피 언약을 붙잡는 순간 그 어떤 문제도 나를 짓누르거나 멸망시킬 수 없다. 이것이 갈보리 체험이다
이스라엘 백성들이 애굽에서 이것을 체험했고(출12:27), 이 가나안 전쟁에 다시 할례를 받으며 체험했다(수5:9)
3) 이 라합은 미래와 영원을 선택한 것이다.
① 어떤 면에서 라합이 하나님의 백성이 된다는 것은 가나안 족속들에게는 반역자가 되는 것이다.
복음을 받은 1세대가 겪을 수 있는 일이다. 그것을 이길 수 있는 것은 하나님이 준비한 미래를 볼 때이다.
② 지금 손해를 보고, 억울한 일을 당하고, 수치를 당하는 것 같지만 반드시 그것이 축복의 열매로 온다는 것이다.
라합이 다윗 왕가의 조상이 되고, 가장 존귀한 자의 대열에 선 것은 그녀가 선택하고 심은 열매이다(갈6:7-8). 모든 것을 하늘에 쌓고(마6:19-20), 땅의 것이 아닌 위엣 것(보좌)을 바라보라는 이유가 그것이다(골3:1-4).
- 이 축복을 놓고 이제 우리가 해야 할 일은 무엇일까?
망대를 세우는 것이다. 망대는 하나님이 내 인생과 문제와 현장 속에 일할 수 있는 공간이고, 시간이다.
우연인 것 같지만 이 라합의 집이 여리고성의 망대 아래 있는 집이었다. 라합의 인생이 망대가 된 것이다.
1) 나 개인을 살리는 망대를 세워야 한다(기도 망대).
내가 하나님과 1:1로 만나는 시간과 공간이 없다면 모든 것이 갈등이고, 어려울 것이다. 문제 오면 무너진다.
성삼위 하나님이 나를 살리는 세가지 축복을 이루신다, 내 안에 하나님의 형상이 회복되고(창1:27), 하나님의 능력이 임하고(창2:7), 모든 것에 하나님의 다스림과 축복이 임하는 것이다(창2:18).
어떤 문제가 와도, 평상시에, 여행 중에도 이것이 내 영적 시스템이 될 정도로 세팅이 되어야 한다.
2) 내 가정과 교회와 후대를 위한 망대를 세워야 한다(전도 망대).
내 가정과 교회와 후대는 연결되어 있다. 가정이 교회이다. 모일 때는 성전 교회이다. 후대는 미래 교회이다.
한 가정과 교회에 시대적인 인물이 나올 때는 누군가가 망대 역할을 했고, 거기에 파수꾼이 세워지는 것이다.
보좌를 바라보며 기도하는데, 시공간 초월하는 응답이 오고, 빛의 능력이 역사하면서 전도문이 열리는 것이다.
3) 내 지역과 오천 종족을 위한 망대를 세워야 한다(선교 망대).
두정탐꾼이 여리고에 가서 라합같은 제자 하나를 만났다. 그후대 속에서 세계를 살린 다윗과 그리스도가 왔다. 이때 라합은 정탐꾼들을 선대했다고 했다(12절). 라합이 누린 축복은 전도자를 선대한 열매이다(마10:40-42)
전도자들을 선대하는 것이 그래서 중요하다. 이것을 보면서 우리 후대들도 237 살리는 선교사로 일어난다.
결론-우리가 기생 라합처럼 부끄럽고 천한 사람일수도 있다. 하나님은 그 라합을 세워 시대 살릴 가정과 가문을 만들고, 세계를 바꾼 것이다. 우리가 그 축복과 응답 속에 있기를 축복한다.

The 25-Hour Answer that Moses Experienced (Exodus 3:6-12) 3/19/2023
Moses was Israel’s greatest leader, prophet, and missionary who represents the period of the Old Testament (Acts 3:22). However, young Moses made a mistake out of misplaced vigor, became a murderer, and spent forty miserable years. Yet, Moses saved the Israel nation and experienced the 25-hour answer to where he saved the posterity and future. Therefore, if a person of God holds onto the covenant and starts anew, regardless of whatever failures and crises come, even that failure can become a turning point to receive lifelong answers.
- Why do many saved people of God experience failure this way?
If possible, may you experience as few failures as possible, and if there are failures and pain, may you discover important answers. All records of failures in the Bible are important answers and a mirror for us who live in this age (1 Corinthians 10:11).
1) People of God experience failure when they lose hold of their God-given self-identity.
Israel was intended to enjoy God’s blessings and be used to fulfill God’s will.
① Moses was a descendant of the Levites, the spiritual leaders of God’s people at that age. This is the blessing of a remnant,
Even Moses had lost hold of the five identities of a remnant. Although his parents and people were enslaved, Moses himself might have spent his life merely enjoying the privileges of an Egyptian prince.
② The fact that he was abandoned in a river and raised as a prince of a palace that was oppressing his people could have been scarring.
Rage rooted in that very scar could have been what came out when he saw the Egyptian soldiers abusing his people. That led him to be a murderer. Satan provokes our hidden scars and leads us to fail when we lose hold of the spiritual identity that God gives us.
2) We can also experience fatal failure when we lose hold of God's plan for us.
① It said that it came to Moses’s heart to visit his people when he was forty years old (Acts 7:23). When people of God receive grace and answers, a rightful heart to care for and devote themselves to God’s people forms.
② The problem was that Moses’s standard was different. Moses only considered devoting himself as a prince who looked after his people. God had different plans. He planned to take the Israelites out of a 400-hundred-year fate-like curse. Many people in the world have fallen into fate the same way. People suffer and do not know the reason or answer.
③ Christ came to solve this spiritual curse. It is only we who can relay this answer to the world. If we lose hold of this God’s plan, it goes beyond us wandering, but we become the Devil’s greatest joy. Moses lost hold of God’s plan for his life and the age he lived in.
3) Since he lost hold of his identity and God’s plan, he rightfully also lost hold of God’s power. He was sufficient with the identity and power that he earned in the world as an Egyptian prince and intended to do something with that.
① That Moses couldn’t save a single person. Instead, he became a murderer. Various identities and power are important in the world. God used all the skills and leadership Moses learned in Egypt. However, that is not the power to save the people unwittingly bound by fate, curses, and spiritual problems for four hundred years.
② The power of the gospel can only do it. It is the same for the work to save this powerful nation, America, and all the multi-ethnic nations. God changes someone’s entire life when we accurately experience and relay Christ. This is the power of the gospel. In today’s passage, God came to Moses, who was in the wilderness herding sheep, and had him realize and experience this (25-hour answer).
- What was it that Moses experienced? Three things we must hold onto and experience before missions and evangelism.
1) Embrace God’s mourning heart for me and the world before going into missions and evangelism. How can this be done?
① Meditate on why the Son of God, Christ, came to this world, took upon all shame, and died (Experience of Mt. Calvary). It is because all lives, including ours, belong to unsolvable curses if He did not come, suffer, and die for us (curse of original sin, Satan’s curse, eternal curse). All of life’s problems come from this. No human born as Adam’s offspring can solve this. Therefore, He who is sinless came and died on the cross. He fulfilled the forgiveness of sins through the power of His blood (Hebrews 9:12), gave us new life through His resurrection, and crushed the Devil’s head.
② We can realize and embrace God’s heart through our pain and suffering (Experience of Mt. of Olives).
The failed disciples were called to the Mount of Olives, where they experienced the mission of God’s kingdom of going out to the world with God’s heart. God had Moses see the four-hundred-year pain of the Israelites through Moses’s forty-year pain. Verses 7-8 say, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people” and “I have come down to deliver them” (God’s heart and method).
③ This is also why Jesus lowered Himself and endured all those sufferings (Hebrews 4:15 “God who sympathizes”). If we stay beside someone suffering and sincerely relate (empathize) to their feelings and pain, they will open their hearts (Romans 12:15-16).
2) Before going into missions and evangelism, experience the power of the Holy Spirit that can save the world through even someone like me (Experience of Mark’s Upper Room).
① God desires for me to save me first. However, how can we save ourselves? Some people believe that. They say to hold onto the self-belief of “I can do it” and tells you to practice autosuggestion with that (self-affirmation). This is not 100% wrong. The issue is that there needs to be a basis. The basis for that is the power of the Holy Spirit in Christ.
② God will make us “witnesses to the ends of the earth” when we are in the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). Deny yourself every moment and look onto Christ. The filling of the Holy Spirit is not anything else. The experience of Galatians 2:20 is the filling of the Holy Spirit. We experience this when we worship, pray alone, and meditate on the Word. The experience of this power whenever we do trivial or important things or when problems and crises come needs to become our nature. Our everything becomes a masterpiece that saves the world, changes the world, and saves the 237 nations.
3) Experience the blessing of the throne through 24 hours before missions and evangelism.
① Who is on the throne? The Triune God. What can the Triune God do? The power that transcends time and space, unprecedented works, and the power of light that destroys all forces of darkness. That is when the work to save the three ages arises (3,9,3 prayer). Hold onto this blessing 24 hours by practicing the two lifelines, 24-hour prayer and 24-hour breathing (everything connects to the throne).
② You will enjoy the blessing of saving one’s crumbling health, finances, and field. Even if you are sick and weak like Paul, you can transcend that (2 Corinthians 12:9). God even granted health and finances that saved an age to an eighty-year-old man.
③ At this time, even our minor devotions connect to the throne (Matthew 25:14). It becomes an eternal blessing.
Conclusion – We held onto where the true evangelism, missions, and devotion God desires come from. May God’s heart be placed at the core of your heart and the power of the Holy Spirit placed in your soul, and may you experience the 25-hour answer in which the blessing of the throne takes place upon your life.

25 Hour Answer of Summit Gospelization (Genesis 41:38-43) 3/12/2023
Going beyond what we saw about family gospelization and field gospelization through Joseph, this week we will talk about the answer of “summit gospelization” that saves nations and kings.
We must first ask two fundamental questions.
First, what kind of background and support were necessary for such blessings to be possible for Joseph? Being used at an important position (summit) is not something simple or easy. Generally, it is a genetic factor or parental support and background that allows children to grow up that way (silver spoon). Joseph did not have anything like that.
Second, what was the significance of the blessing of the summit that Joseph enjoyed? In the world, people think that we must be diligent to be successful. Thus, parents and children alike receive tremendous stress. When others sleep, they must be awake, attend better schools, and even internships must be from elite places. Joseph did not have anything like that. Joseph’s internship was his time of slavery at Potiphar’s house, and in prison where he helped the prison guard. God raised that Joseph up to be the summit that saved the superpower nation Egypt, and from there, all nations and peoples.
We use the word “gospelization” to signify that God made this happen, and we use the term “25 Hour Answer” to signify that this was a blessing that transcended human standards, environment, and reality. Joseph becomes a very important model for us.
- The three basics that Joseph had. We must train to build up our basics before we are placed and used at an important position.
1) The basics concerning Joseph’s thoughts and emotions. This is called character. It is known that 85% of human brain function that controls thoughts and emotions are formed before the age of 3. This is why many people train for mind control, concentration, and meditation.
① Joseph could have been caught up on many scars, but he was not. He could have been traumatized by the fact that his mother died when he was young, and he was sold as a slave by his brothers. Those things make hidden hatred, anger, competitive mindset, and despair take root inside. Many addictions stem from this (addiction to success).
② Wherever he went, Joseph thought about saving people and saving the field. He saved others even when he was a slave, and he didn’t retaliate against Potiphar’s wife when he was wrongfully sent to prison. He didn’t ruin his own life with anger towards those people. He saved and blessed whoever he met.
③ All thoughts and emotions are controlled by the brain. We must make our brain healthy and active. Biologically, we must sleep, eat healthy foods, and provide oxygen to our bodies by exercising and breathing. In addition, we must always think in terms of the gospel, think positively and hopefully. The brain will choose to do whatever it is more accustomed to. If we are constantly depressed, in despair, or filled with hatred, those things will continue to happen. That becomes your spiritual flow (Job 3:25). Our thoughts are the channels by which God answers. Our thoughts are our character, and moreover, our prayers (Psalm 19:14, Ephesians 3:20, Philippians 4:6-7).
2) The basics concerning Joseph’s skill. This is called specialty.
① Skill does not mean being better at something compared to someone else. The true meaning of skill is your own talents, and your own power to accomplish things (metacognition).
② Joseph found God’s will in his given tasks, found happiness, and became the summit at that place (meaning of occupation). Even David enjoyed this blessing and developed his skill while he tended his father’s sheep (Psalm 78:70-72).
3) Joseph’s spiritual basics. This is called spirituality.
① Spiritual things are unseen to the eye, but it is a power that moves the world (Hebrews 11:3). Even unbelievers know that there is something beyond the visible world. That is why they do chi movement and meditation movements to receive transcendental power. In reality, that is the power of demons. It says that those who have that power will move the world (Ephesians 6:12).
② Joseph was able to deeply enjoy God amidst his suffering, and enjoyed the power that transcended that power. When the king, who had all the authority, was suffering from a dream that he could not understand, he called all religious leaders and shamans but none of them could give him the answer. Joseph said God will give him the answer. And through Joseph, the king was able to see God’s power and wisdom. If we have spiritual power within us, people will come to us, and they will be able to receive the answer (1Samuel 3:19).
- How can we enjoy the blessings that Joseph enjoyed, stand as the summit to save this age covered in darkness, and raise up those who will?
Three systems must be established in our lives throughout our entire lifetime. We are talking about the state in which we do not shake and are imprinted, rooted, and natured.
1) The covenantal system in us. We must make our thoughts, judgments, and emotions must move according to this system. In other words, the standard of all our thoughts, judgments, and emotions must be the covenant. God has given us His love for this world, His plan, His power, and His mission as a covenant to us.
① The 7 great journeys encapsulate the covenant that God gave us that we must hold onto. Within that, we must view our lives, think, judge, feel, and challenge (covenant journey). The Triune God that chose you and saved you, the 5 assurances, the 10 platforms, the summit’s 10 standards of judgment, the eyes to see the 9 flows, the 62 life of the evangelist, and lastly, the church that saves you and blesses you.
② Then, there is a covenant that tells us that however lacking, God will raise us up as the summit that will save our fields and the age. To Abraham who had nothing, God said he will “make a great nation through you” (Genesis 12:2). To the people who became captive, He said, “the least of you will make a thousand, the smallest of you a great nation” (Isaiah 60:22). To the ones scattered by persecution, He said, “you will be the witnesses to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8). All of this is the covenant of the summit.
2) The spiritual system in us. We must have a system inside us where the Holy Spirit and the blessing of the throne has no choice but to work in us. This is the “blessing of the watchtower.” Every day, even for a short time, we must have a personal time with God, summit time, and a time of concentration. Even if we do something small, if the Holy Spirit works, it becomes God’s masterpiece. Even if we fail, it turns into historical masterpiece (Confession of Edison).
3) The mission system in us. Hold onto the reason we must live, the reason we must receive answers, and and the reason we must enjoy the blessing of the throne.
① In this world full of darkness, we are here to reveal the glory of God and stand has the summit to save the world. When David stood before Goliath, he said, “Can’t I even speak?” (1 Samuel 17:29).
② Even if you do something small, make a resolution before God and do it (Daniel 1:8). You may even stake your life for it (Esther 4:16). There is no need to do it as you judge others. It will become a covenantal contract between you and God.
Conclusion - Joseph was not obsessed with success for the sake of success, and he did not struggle for it. Through many hardships, he was able to build his basics. With purpose, he. Made three summit systems within him. May we, all our posterity, and our church be within this answer.
25 Hour Answer of Summit Gospelization (Genesis 41:38-43) 3/12/2023 March 12, 2023The 25-hour Answer of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
The 25-Hour Answer of Field Evangelization (Genesis 39:1-6) 3/5/2023
One important word for evangelists and evangelism movement organizations is ‘field.’ There are several meanings. It can be used to describe the workplace or business I am currently in. It can also be the difficult environment or problem I face. There, God will give me the evidence that gives me no choice but to testify before the world. Why does God give us evidence by making us go through these times? There are two reasons. It is so that I experience God’s power and blessing in my field, save others who face problems like me and evangelize the people I meet in my field. We receive grace when we worship. However, the real issue is that when we encounter problems in the field, the grace we received is nowhere in sight, and all that is left is conflict, discouragement, and despair. There are no thoughts about evangelism nor the strength to do so (reason for the 3 ages). There is another conflict. Some ask: if God says He will raise me as a witness, why am I always struggling? There are conflicts in my job, it is hard to get promoted like others, and everything is just difficult. They say, how can evangelism occur this way? Then, what was the evangelism that Joseph in the passage did? He was sold as a slave. It was a lonely and devastating present reality. Joseph’s evangelism began there. When things seemingly started to work out, he was sent to prison. What is this? Evangelism took place between Joseph and the people he met in prison. What did the evangelism
of the Upper Room that conquered the Roman Empire and commissioned missionaries worldwide look like? They were persecuted, imprisoned, and even financially, a very difficult reality. They carried out evangelism that saved the world.
- We must first correct three misunderstandings.
1) It is a misunderstanding of the gospel. The gospel is God sending us His Son, Christ (Luke 2:10).
① What is the most important and fundamental blessing we will enjoy through Christ? It is the salvation of our souls (1 Peter 1:8-9).
When my soul is saved, a love for Christ forms despite having never seen Him, and inexpressible joy comes from my heart regardless of the various problems in my present reality. The person who experiences this blessing has been truly saved. What do people really need? It is “peace” (John 14:27). If one has everything but no peace, one cannot be happy.
② A life that has been saved this way lives a life that has been guaranteed to eternity.
We became children of God through Christ (John 1:12). We belong to Him. We have been delivered from our past. He is with us and helps us in the present. Our future is going on the path He has prepared. God has prepared even our eternal things. This is salvation (Ephesians 2:1-7). This guarantee is the covenant. Even if temporary problems come, it does not matter. It is a process of the covenant being fulfilled (covenant journey).
2) It is a misunderstanding of answers.
① We think that answers are only visible and physical answers. It is a blessing-oriented faith. All religions that have no gospel deceive people with this. This was what the Devil attempted to tempt Jesus with (Matthew 4:1-11).
② People think answers are only immediate answers. It says, “I will show you great and unsearchable things” (Jeremiah 33:3). If Joseph had not been sold as a slave and lived a smooth life, he would have lived as a daddy’s boy. God planned to send Joseph to the most powerful nation in the world through the problem and incidents and raise him as the summit who saves the world. This is the conclusion of all problems and incidents that people of God face (Acts 1:8) and the conclusion of the world (Matthew 24:14).
3) It is a misunderstanding of evangelism.
① We stand as witnesses of Christ. This does not concern asserting myself or receiving physical blessings. We only need to testify lifelong about our life that lives by the peace Christ gives us and how we who are lacking are living by God’s grace (1 Corinthians 15:10).
② Paul stated that he would boast of his weaknesses throughout his life (2 Corinthians 12:9). This is because Christ continues to raise us. Paul also said that he staked his life to the work of preaching this gospel (Acts 20:24). ‘Only’ comes out of our lifelong confession, lifelong boast, and lifelong mission (only Christ, God’s kingdom, power of the Holy Spirit).
- We can stand as evangelists who save the field like Joseph.
1) Imprint the absolute covenant given by God.
① Our brain judges and feels the problems and incidents that come our way. It is determined by what is imprinted in our brains. If scars are imprinted in my brain, even similar problems will only look like problems, and there will be fear and rage. My brain will send various neurotransmitters to resolve that issue and look for something to replace it (compensating action). The neurotransmitters that can combat depression, drug addiction, and gambling addiction have been exhausted, and there are no other imprints to defeat that.
② The covenant of Christ must be imprinted in my brain, and I must have the time to receive spiritual strength.
Those who need important healing must repeatedly listen to the word (Romans 10:17). Make sure to have the time to meditate (Psalms 19:14). It is a time to establish my bartizan (tower). At that time, God sends angels to become my watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7) and fulfills the word (Psalms 103:20-22). Joseph finished this imprint before 18 years old. There is no record of him being discouraged or in despair.
2) Enjoy God being with me 24 hours. God will change flow of myself and my field.
① During times of severe difficulty, one cannot overcome fear and suffering if one loses hold of God being with me. All people and seven remnants whom God used experienced this during times of severe difficulty (Psalms 23:4). In this current world, living will be suffering if we lose hold of God being with us every moment.
② Where is God with me? He is with me within me, in all my meetings, in all my fields and works I do. Joseph enjoyed this blessing. Even Potiphar saw that God was with Joseph (verse 3), and it said that God’s blessings were upon all his possessions (verse 5). Never once has God left me or been somewhere distant (Psalms 139:1-10).
3) Make an evangelist’s resolution in all my environments and present reality.
① Make a resolution to stand as Christ’s witness in any environment. Do what is rightful, imperative, and absolute. Do everything as if you are serving the Lord (Matthew 25:40-41), it will be absolute. People will come to you (Platform)
② Plan for evangelism and pray for the darkness within them to be bound and for their hearts to be prepared to receive the gospel (Watchtower, Bartizan)
③. Make all meetings an opportunity for evangelism and be prepared to explain Christ to whomever you meet (1 Peter 3:15). Doors of evangelism will open even if you can accurately explain the way of salvation. We deliver the blessing of the heaven (Antenna)
Conclusion – God called us as the evangelists of this age. He has entrusted my field to me. May you experience this 25-hour answer.
