The Spiritual Leader Who Saves the Empty Place (Acts 27:20-25) 9/18/2021
Last week, we shared the Word about the empty places of three fields (empty place in me, empty place in the church, empty place of the 237-world field). An empty place is not merely a place that has no people. It’s a place where the gospel, which is the God-given absolute answer, is absent. Why is Samaria an empty place? It became a place covered in darkness and a dying and abandoned place because there was no answer when problems and suffering took place. The real problem is that there is no one to give that answer. Thus, a place becomes truly empty when there is no spiritual leader to give the answer in that place covered in darkness. That is why this week’s message is “the spiritual leader who saves the empty place.”
Israel was a hopeless and dying empty place when they were enslaved in Egypt for 400 years. Everything changed when Moses, the spiritual leader whom God had prepared, went there. All of Samaria changed when deacon Philip went in as a spiritual leader. God desires to bless us as this kind of spiritual leader.
- Why is Paul in the passage important?
He stood as a spiritual leader before the Roman centurion and soldiers who were faced with a storm. It said that stars had not appeared for several days, and they lost all hope of being saved. This place is a darkness-covered, dying, and deserted place.
1) Paul gave God’s answer that moves history and all creation and stood as a spiritual leader.
From a worldly perspective, Paul could not be a leader before the Roman centurion and soldiers. An even greater problem is his prisoner identity. However, Paul gave God’s answer to them. They received hope with that answer, and everyone was saved.
2) Why do problems come in the world? Why do problems prolong in my family, church, and this age?
It is human greed. It is also the Devil’s doing that works to destroy humans and the world from the beginning.
① There is an even more important reason. God plans to raise me who has been saved first as a spiritual leader who will give the answer in that field.
Therefore, there is a continuous emphasis on our three spiritual identities for the world (spiritual watchmen, spiritual ambassador, spiritual doctor).
② Like the passage, storms will continue in the world even after COVID-19. Problems may persist even in our family.
Times of division, conflict, and despair may continue. God sent us who have the gospel to that field. Thus, God has raised us as spiritual watchmen who stay awake and pray (1 Peter 5:8), spiritual ambassadors who give answers with Christ’s three authorities (1 Peter 2:9), and spiritual doctors who save those who lost hope and are sick (Mark 16:15-20).
- How can I be a spiritual leader? Have this forum? We must restore three things lifelong(Journey of Leader).
1) It is my spiritual identity that God has given to me the moment I was saved. This is the fundamental of a spiritual leader.
① We are freed individuals the moment we are saved (Romans 8:1-2). This must be imprinted in me (edit). As long as I am in Christ, I am no longer bound by curses, destiny, scars, and the world. Always declare this before yourself and the devil .
② We are children of God who will enjoy heavenly blessings when we are saved (Ephesians 1:3-5). This must be rooted in my spirit (plan).
The seven identities and authorities of a child of God are the fundamental blessings that a spiritual leader must possess. We already have these the moment we are saved. These are all heavenly blessings that we must enjoy.
③ We are people whose everything will come together and stand as witnesses the moment we are saved (Romans 8:28, Acts 1:8). This needs to be the nature of our life (design).
Believe in God’s absolute plan in all problems and incidents and meditate. We are deceived by Satan as much as we worry, fear, complain and resent (why the Israelites of 40 years in the wilderness suffered and failed).
2) We must make the spiritual leader’s rhythm (habits, patterns) in our daily life. This is the spiritual leader’s basics.
① The important keyword is 24. Inside the word 24 are three things which are my today, day to day, and concentration. Every day and in every moment, it is the state of enjoying the given blessing (gospel) in Christ in my place and all my incidents. This becomes living worship and prayer that fulfills God’s will in all problems and incidents (Romans 12:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18).
② A rhythm of life comes from this. A leader has a leader’s rhythm of life.
If incorrect things become a rhythm and pattern, you will eventually crumble (body, heart, thought, spirit, all relationships). Restore life’s rhythm through five 24s in your day-to-day life. You can create a special time and do this.
Word 24- It creates a rhythm that meditates God’s word and lives with God’s answers every day.
Prayer 24- It creates a rhythm that discovers God’s will in all problems and incidents, and my soul receives spiritual strength.
Breathing 24- Breathing deeply provides oxygen to my body. It creates a rhythm that saves my brain.
Eating 24- Eat everything in thanksgiving and eat food that revives your body. It creates a rhythm that revives my body.
Exercise 24- The body, heart, and spirit are connected. Body-appropriate and continuous exercise will create a rhythm that forms my body’s balance.
3) When problems, incidents, and crises come, hold onto it as a time schedule to experience God’s 25. This is the foundation (spirituality) of a spiritual leader.
① Paul did not meet a storm. He was met with an opportunity to confirm God’s absolute answer and power. Are you faced with a personal storm (family problems, finance, illness)? Change all the standards of thoughts to be gospel-centered and God-centered. That is the beginning of spirituality. Pray for the filling of the Holy Spirit. It is then that you experience God’s 25.
② What did Paul do in this time of tribulations? There was nothing else he could do. That was what God had permitted.
Paul prayed before the eternal God (God of the throne, God who transcends time and space, God of light who saves all nations covered in darkness). He would have prayed for himself and everyone else who was on board the ship (watchman). He would have received the answer first and then carried out the errand of delivering that answer (spiritual ambassador). What is that answer? It said, “You must stand trial before Caesar, and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.” With that, he was told not to worry about anything and to be relieved. He saved those trembling in fear (spiritual doctor).
③ God desired, promised, and fulfilled according to what He had said. This is the real answer.
That is called the answer of only (what God has done), uniqueness (what everyone saw), and recreation (answer that saves everyone). A spiritual leader is a person who forms this system lifelong.
Conclusion – Storms will continue in the world. Me, my children, and the church could face this storm. We are those who have been called spiritual leaders with the God-given answer to deliver that answer and stand as witnesses of that very answer. May you have victory this week as you hold onto the God-given spiritual identity (fundamental), the 24 that makes the spiritual leader’s life (basics), and the covenant of 25 that I will experience in the storms of life.

People Who Save the Empty Places (Acts 8 :4-8) 9/12/2021
Last week, we reflected on what God’s goal and conclusion for our life is. It is to make us God’s masterpiece. To say that God raises us as witnesses to save the world and that God raises us as spiritual summits who will conquer and rule the world are the same thing. God created us in His image for this reason. To be created in God’s image means that God’s everything is within that. The Greek word “poema” comes from the expression “one who is created,” which also means “workmanship (masterpiece).” The English word “poem” is derived from that as well. Although God’s masterpiece became damaged, lost its color, and much power due to man’s greed and Satan’s deception behind that, God desires to restore us in Christ. That restoration is salvation. God will continuously form us until Christ’s image is revealed in us (healing, spiritual maturity, sanctification). We must establish at least three things in us. That is also called making our imprint, root, and nature or establishing a setting.
- The me that God has created. More specifically, it is me that has been recreated in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17).
1) My true identity and power that has changed in Christ. This is called the spiritual self-image, spiritual identity.
① No matter what others may say, we who have accepted Christ have been delivered in Christ (Romans 8:1-2). You can be deceived by your nature, growth process, and scars and stumble even after being saved. That is simply being deceived and falling, but you are not failing. You just need to get up and start anew. You heal, change and grow step by step. It does not mean that you can live however you want because you have been freed. You cannot continuously live life running errands for Satan. It means that you are legally a free man who can start anew even if you stumble. An imprisoned person will always be a prisoner no matter how well he behaves. Be aware of Satan’s 12 strategies and fight against them. You are those who could lose a battle but not the war.
② No matter what others may say, we have become Children of God in Christ. The seven identities and authorities are tremendous things.
It is from the moment you are saved (John 1:12). You are an adopted child, not a slave (Romans 8:15-17). You are those who will enjoy all of God’s blessings (Ephesians 1:3-5).
③ No matter what others may say, we are those who will save the world in Christ (1 Peter 2:9).
He raised us as the watchmen of light for the world. I need to shine the light in my life. People are unwittingly being subdued by darkness, and we are the spiritual doctors who will save them in Christ’s name. We are ambassadors of Christ who make darkness crumble wherever we go (kingship), save people (priest’s authority), and give answers (prophet’s authority). In the passage, Deacon Philip alone merely proclaimed Christ, and changes that saved Samaria took place.
2) We must edit, plan and design our life with the gospel always, every day, and 24 hours.
Who am I (edit)? How will I stand (plan)? How will I be used before the world before I go (design)? If this does not take place, we are always bound by scars (loneliness, poverty, unfairness). A victim mentality becomes imprinted. That develops into a defeated mentality and roots down as incompetence, powerlessness, and depression. Eventually, that creates a failure nature (regression, avoidance, aggressive actions, crime).
- What God has given to me. Everything that I possess becomes God’s blessing the moment I am saved.
When does that happen? When I hold onto God’s absolute reason for giving me those things.
1) Why does God allow me to live on earth? Because I must become a witness in my place (school, work, business).
People must see God through me there. It is also because there are people who will meet Christ in that place.
2) Why does God need to fulfill the power of the throne, power that transcends time and space and unprecedented works in my life?
People will gather around me when I receive God’s blessings and answers. We must meet the people who need to stand as witnesses with me in my place (disciples). This means to enjoy the blessing of a team who will go with you for only Christ and world evangelization and raise those disciples (Matthew 28:18-20).
3) This is the same reason why God allows pain and problems to me.
It is so that I can see the world through my problems (message and eye to see the world) and be used in the works to save the world. All the seven remnants were used this way. They saw the world from their problems, family problems, church problems, and problems of that age and went forth as ones to save the world. This was the same for deacon Philip from the passage. He was one of those who were scattered during tribulations (verse 4). Paradoxically speaking, he would not have been used in that way if those problems and pain had not existed. Change everything into a God-given message, mission, and thanksgiving. If that is the journey and method I must take to become God’s masterpiece, there is no choice but to be thankful (Psalms 50:14, 15, 23).
- My absolute field that God has given. If you pray upon this, you will see the 237 empty places that you must go to.
Why is it an empty place? It is a place with no gospel, an abandoned place, and a deserted place that no one sees or goes to (Samaria).
1) The most important empty place is within me. There is an empty place that only God and I know.
Things will grow more difficult if you try to fill the void with other things. Fill it with only Christ, the kingdom of God, and the power of the Holy Spirit. In other words, this is called being filled with Christ, filled with the Kingdom of God, and the filling of the Holy Spirit. If I cannot enjoy being filled with the things of God, my inner side becomes a place for the seven devils to work (Matthew 12:44-45). Have concentration that saves me (limited concentration). Create a spiritual rhythm with prayer and have deep time.
2) The empty place in the church. If the church becomes an empty place, the spiritual lighthouse of the posterity and this nation vanishes.
Always pray about how I can be used to save the church and discover the works that need my help in the church. Have concentration that saves the church (selective concentration). Have the concentration that saves the church, region, and nation (multi-ethnic).
3) The empty places in the fields of the 237 nations. Look at the fields of the entire world and place them in your prayer. That is our vessel.
Disasters continue, and starvation and refugees are on a massive influx. Conversely, some people have money, power, popularity, and fame, but spiritual problems strike them. In reality, they are wandering and being obsessive. Concentrate on what God desires from us for the works to save the fields of the 237 nations (oneness concentration). When the family and church become oneness, it becomes a system that saves the world (summit training center, healing center, 237 center).
Conclusion – We are going on the journey of becoming God’s masterpiece that pleases and compels God to use us in Christ. May you all become those who save the empty place, the absolute field God desires, in that blessing.
People Who Save the Empty Places (Acts 8 :4-8) 9/12/2021 September 12, 2021The Field of Answers of 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
Stand as God’s Masterpiece (Ephesians 4:11-15) 9/5/2021
No matter how difficult the world is and whatever problems come, there is a separate way for the people of God. Thus, there are different answers and blessings. All we need to do is correctly know the three powers of God and enjoy them (America College Retreat Message).
- What are the three powers of God?
First, it is infinite power. Second, it is the transcendental power. Third, it is an unprecedented power.
From the beginning of God’s creation of man, He created us to enjoy these powers.
1) Infinite power is the power that was revealed in Genesis 1:27, Genesis 2:7, and Hebrews 4:12. Establish these within me (3 settings).
① Genesis 1:27 says that we were created in God’s image. It means that humans were created as spiritual beings who possess this eternal and infinite power from the very beginning. This is in man’s nature (Ecclesiastes 3:11). The world calls this infinite potential.
② Genesis 2:7 says that God breathed life into man, and he became a living being.
God gave a “soul” to humans, and it is with that soul, humans, and God can have deep communication. Then, humans experience the spiritual world where they can enjoy what God gives by His grace (1 Corinthians 2:10-12). If humans cannot enjoy this, they fall into incompetence, powerlessness, desires of the flesh, and when it goes to an extreme, even demon possession.
③ Hebrews 4:12 says that the word of God has the power to save soul, spirit, joints, and marrow.
When we hold onto the accurate word, works that save me, people, and the world will take place (John 14:12-14).
2) What is the power of transcendence? Believers must enjoy the three powers of transcendence through the mystery of prayer (3 transcendence).
Unbelievers are doing transcending works in the name of science. However, we go beyond them and are at a different level.
① It is the blessing of the throne. What do God and Christ do on the throne?
They rule over the world and all creation, but especially, they oversee everything that believers do and work in them. This takes place when we truly hold onto God’s word and pray. He moves angels to fulfill the word and answer prayers (Psalms 103:19-21, Isaiah 62:6, Revelations 8:3-4).
② It is the power that transcends time and space. If I settle on the far side of the sea, He is there with me and guides me (Psalms 139:7-10).
③ It is the power of light that saves the 237 nations. Although darkness covers the entire world, we will save all peoples and nations with the power of this light.
3) What is unprecedented power? God surely has to raise us as witnesses.
① The seven remnants and all of God’s people in the Bible enjoyed this unprecedented power.
② Why do these problems only come to me? Are you going through something that no one else is experiencing? It is an opportunity to enjoy this unprecedented power. God will make all problems and pain into new works when you hold onto this covenant (Isaiah 43:18-19).
③ Believe and enjoy this blessing when serving the Lord’s church. Faith and people filled with the Holy Spirit are important for this reason (Acts 6:5).
- What is the conclusive blessing that comes then? Our everything becomes God’s masterpiece.
1) Our very life was God’s greatest masterpiece from the beginning.
God said, “it is good” after He created the world, and said, “it is very good,” after He created man (Genesis 1:31).
① There are probably people who think, “then why is my life like this?” It’s not the parents, the world, or anyone’s fault.
The first human Adam was deceived by the Devil and corrupted, and thence, all life is being deceived by Satan continually(John 8:44. John 10:10).
② God sent Christ to us to restore us as our natural state as blessed beings.
He crushed all sin, curses, fate, and power of Satan on the cross and said it is all finished (John 19:30). Now He has made us His children and allowed us to call Him Father and enjoy eternal things (Romans 8:15-17). He has sealed us with the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 1:12), helps us with the Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18), and tells us to enjoy the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8).
2) We must remake the fundamentals of our life. That is called establishing your setting.
① What must we set our settings for? It is for verses 11-12 (reason).
This makes believers whole (saves me first), do works of service so that the body of Christ may be built up (saves the Lord’s church). Positions are appointed to each individual for this reason.
② How must we set our settings? It is the first half of verse 13. Believing in Christ and how deeply we know Christ (method).
Edit my life with His standards in the word. My life has been changed through Christ’s life. Discover what God desires in prayer and re-draft (plan) my life. I am someone whom God will use. Redesign my life with evangelism that will save others like me and the world. I am someone who will change the world.
③ To what extent should we set our settings? It is verses 13-15 (goal).
To where Christ’s image is revealed in us (verse 13), to where we no longer are deceived by the temptations of the world, Satan, and people (verse 14), and to where we can do things in truth with the love of God (verse 15).
3) Hold onto this covenant and challenge yourself so that everything you do (studies, skills, business) becomes God’s masterpiece.
① Make enjoying God into a masterpiece.
This is why we write in our prayer journals or personal journals. Half of Psalms is a masterpiece that records David’s confession of faith.
② Make the incidents and everything you face in the field into a masterpiece.
A deacon became a children specialist worker after she had recorded an event of saving a child in the field and published it into a book. You can do this while nurturing your child, which could become an even more important masterpiece for parents taking care of disabled children.
③ Make all the works you do in the department you serve into God’s masterpiece.
Therefore, record everything and train to make and record important historical documents after every significant event.
Conclusion – Our life was God’s greatest masterpiece when God created us. Now, our life is becoming God’s masterpiece in Christ. May you enjoy God’s three powers (infinite power, transcendental power, unprecedented power), and your everything become God’s masterpiece.
Stand as God’s Masterpiece (Ephesians 4:11-15) 9/5/2021 September 5, 2021The Field of Answers of 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
The One Disciple (Joshua 2:1-6) 8/29/2021
What do you think about the situation in Afghanistan? One of the seven visions we pray for in the 2nd RUTC movement is “refugee missions.” Some people fear the increasing size of Muslim communities after we accept refugees from Afghanistan. Here, we must find the one disciple that God has prepared.
What was God’s intention when he sent the Israelites to Canaan? It was not to trample down upon the Canaanites nor to destroy them. He intended for the Israelites to save Canaan and make it into a land that is governed by God. The world is in a similar predicament. When the Lord returns, there are people that will go into eternal judgement, and there are others that will enjoy eternal life in unity. We need to find those individuals. That is world evangelization.
We need to find that one person who will be used for this blessed work; that one prepared individual who will devote with their lives for this work. It can be just one person. Today’s passage illustrates such a model.
- The importance of one disciple. This is the key to saving 237 nations and 5000 people groups.
1) Within our Upper Room Ministry, there are two exemplifications or Muslim missions.
We have a pastor in Bangladesh who is doing remnant ministry, and a pastor in Pakistan who serves as a translator. These two pastors truly have the Gospel, and they have learned to speak Korean very well. Originally, they were in Korea to make money, but came across upper room members and received the Gospel. Now, they have become pastors who are carrying out their ministries in their respective nations.
2) In order to meet the prepared individual, we need to reach everyone.
① As we help those people with whatever they need, we are looking for an opportunity to share the Gospel. Open their hearts with kindness, and even share a meal as you get closer. Listen to their stories and give help in whatever way you can (studies, work, etc.).
② Then, we must focus on those individuals who listen to the Gospel and follow.
If we don’t, it will end as a mere charity. It does not mean we don’t need charities and reliefs. Even governments and other non-believers can do those things. We must do what those people cannot do. We need to give them the help that will transform their entire lives. This is what Peter gave to the beggar in front of the gate called Beautiful (Acts 3:8).
- What must be different about God’s prepared disciples?
The Bible records Rahab as a prostitute. She built her house on the city wall at the border and worked as a prostitute. This lady held onto the Gospel that changed her life. How did she hear about this Gospel?
1) She had heard the word going around about the blessings of the people of God (verse 9-10)
① This is why we, as God’s people, need to look to God and enjoy our blessings. We are to become witnesses.
② Some may wonder why things are not working out for them.
Truthfully ask God in prayer. Are you someone that really looks to God in true faith? If you are asking him sincerely, and things are still not working out, then God is taking a longer time to prepare you because you will be used greatly as a greater vessel.
2) She must have heard from the spies. In the military, not everyone can become a spy. You must be well trained.
And certainly, they must have told her these three things. This is the core of the Gospel.
① They must have told her about how God freed them from 400 years of slavery (Passover, blood covenant of Christ).
② They must have told her about how God led them through the wilderness and toward victory (Pentecost, work of the Holy Spirit).
③ They must have told her about why God wants the Israelites to conquer Canaan (Tabernacle, mystery of World Evangelization).
Therefore, we must be fully equipped and trained to share this Gospel accurately when we meet prepared individuals.
3) Rahab later marries a man from the tribe of Judah, and through their descendants, come King David and Christ.
To be used this greatly, how much do you think Rahab struggled to renew her life after receiving salvation?
① First, for the Canaanites to have become a child of God was staking their lives.
They risk being separated from their people and family (Especially when Muslims receive the Gospel). In a non-believing household, they may receive lots of persecution. They are the real ones (Matthew 10:34-36). When you hear the Gospel after living a religious life as a churchgoer, Satan may bring all kinds of troubles to hinder you. As the Israelites went through the wilderness, they faced many problems, conflicts, and hindrances.
② None of those things were a problem. It was an opportunity to experience the three blessings.
It was an opportunity for them to experience holding onto the covenant of Christ (John 19:30) and how God holds himself responsible for His saved people. They had received salvation, but they needed to receive healing in their lifestyle and scars from their past years of slavery (defeatist mentality, slavery mentality, survival mentality). They were to grow spiritually and gain evidence to go as a blessed person of Canaan conquest (world evangelism). Here, we must discover our “only” because we are weak, lacking, and prone to fail. Works of uniqueness and recreation will arise.
③ How will we enjoy this blessing?
We cannot change overnight. We need to be strengthened through today’s word, prayer, and evangelism to have victory. We then need to edit our lives with the Word of God (transform the standard of our thoughts). Through prayer, we need to re-draft our lives (being guided as we search for God’s will and strength for our today and our lives). Through evangelism, we need to re-design our lives (entering to God’s heart and power). Even new believers can evangelize easily to people they connect with.
Conclusion – We must hold onto three blessings. Answers and blessings that will save 237 and 5000 people groups will undoubtedly follow. First, it was the meeting of the two spies and Rahab. The two spies illustrate the blessing of a team, and the meeting with Rahab represents the meeting with a disciple. May you hold onto this blessing as your eternal covenant. Second, that one lady Rahab became the door to Canaan evangelization. May you pray so that all your meetings be of such doors of evangelism. Third, it was the devotion toward raising up one disciple. All you need to do is give the people you meet the accurate scarlet cord (Gospel).
The One Disciple (Joshua 2:1-6) 8/29/2021 August 29, 2021The Field of Answers of 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
Last week, we shared the Word about the three journeys that children of God take throughout their lives. There is a different path for us; there are different answers that we will receive. What are the three journeys? God will make our lives, even if it is full of scars and shortcomings, into His evidence (journey of a witness). He will save us to save the world and heal us to heal the world (journey of an evangelist). The life and blessings that we will enjoy do not end on earth. It is something eternal (eternal journey). God has given us this blessing through the Word as His promise, fulfilled it all through Christ. He desires us to experience this through all life’s problems and events. All together, we call this the “covenant journey.” In order to avoid three things as we embark on our blessed journey, the covenant must become our imprint, root, and nature. Imprinting means the changing the standard of our thoughts. Since we are not imprinted with the covenant, when problems come, we also become filled with worries, anxiety, hatred, and anger. This creates stress in our bodies and leads to toxins and cancer. Rooting means being able to stand unshaken no matter what problems we face. Turmoil creates unbelief towards God. The more you shake and have unbelief, the more you lost hold of your blessings (Israel’s 40 years of wilderness). Nature means we do not become deceived by our worries and unbelief, which means we will receive answers even when we merely think about it (Ephesians 3:20), and life itself will become blessings (Romans 12:1-2).
As we walk this journey, we must have a standard by which we can gauge whether we are on the right path. Life is not simply living diligently. If we are diligently following the wrong path, it will be that much more difficult to make it back (why we need GPS).
- Time schedule. God has given us the time schedule of 24, 25, and eternity.
1) 24 is the time that God has allotted to us.
Moses, who wrote Psalm 90, said our life span is about 70 to 80 years. Looking back, he saw that his life was full of hard work and sorrow, and even that time flew by. How must we live our lives?(Moses’s 24 concentration)
① He prayed for the wisdom to be able to number our days (verse 12).
God is the one who set our dates and leads our lives. Wisdom is being able to acknowledge Him and give thanks to him. If we lose hold of this, our days will feel meaningless and tedious. You lived diligently but did not amount to anything.
② He prayed for God to have compassion, or mercy on him (verse 13). He was yearning for God’s help. Try to receive God’s help on everything (studies, work, business, ministry). If you are someone who asks for God’s help, everything you do, no matter how small, will be God’s masterpiece.
③ He confessed we are weak, but satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days (verse 14).
God’s people will not be satisfied if they are not filled with this love of God, even if you possess everything. If you spend some time at the start of your day concentrating on God’s love, you will feel joy and courage. You will be able to see what you need to do. The state in which you are full of God’s wisdom, help, and love is spiritual summit. We absolutely must make and enjoy this time.
2) 25 will follow when you enjoy the blessing of 24. Everything will become God’s masterpiece.
① Moses’ birth and childhood was tragic. Because of the state of the nation at that time, he was thrown out into the river. Even that became God’s masterpiece.
The princess of Egypt had come outside to shower when she noticed baby Moses in the river. He thus became a prince and became a siblings with other princes of Egypt.
② All the academia and leadership he learned from the palace became the training he needed to lead the Israelites later down the road. All the studies and devotion that you do as you have your own summit time will become God’s masterpiece that will save this age. Sometimes, God will make the things that you end up having to do against your desire become absolute blessings (Matthew 27:32, Romans 16:13).
③ Every moment of pain and failure in Moses’ life also became God’s masterpiece. For as many days as he has been afflicted, and for as many years as he suffered, God changed it all into blessings to make him happy (verse 14). That saved Israel from slavery and suffering, and that same gospel has come to save us (Moses’ 237 missions).
3) Eternity is the blessing that will continue to our posterity and onto our eternal future even after we leave. All of God’s work will be shown to us and our children as eternal glory (verse 16).
- Roadmap. In our paths, there are certain goals that God has given. The guideline that will help us toward those things is the roadmap. Even non-believers that are way ahead in their path of leadership possess this.
1) Coming-of-age ceremony. The Israelites of the Old Testament, the Jewish, really kept this well.
① We are to discover the talents that God has given us in our childhood. There is a talent that God has given to each one of us.
It is a concern to not be able to find it, but it is even more of a concern if we think those God-given talents are of our own.
② With that, we are preparing for a life that will be guided by God within the Word.
This is the reason the Jewish hold their coming-of-age ceremony at 13 years old, in which they read the Word and give their own sermons. They are the adults that move the world. Follow the Word. It will protect you (Psalm 107:20), give you wisdom (Psalm 119:98-100), and become the light of your path (Psalm 119:105).
2) Missioning ceremony. You are discovering the mission of your life.
① Why must God bless us and fill us with his power? It is because we need to stand as a witness (Acts 1:8). Pray holding onto the reason, and challenge yourself holding onto the mission (in front of non-believing family members, friends, and the world).
② Do not hold onto your problems as scars, but hold onto it as a mission for you to save people just like you. It will no longer be a problem.
This is why God sent off Moses into 40 years of pain and despair. In 40 years, God made Moses fully experience the Israelites’ 400 years of slavery (Exodus 3:7-9).
③ It is better to realize this when you are a remnant (like Joseph, Samuel, and Timothy). Even though Moses realized this at 80 years old, God extended his life up to 120 years to fulfill his mission (Deuteronomy 34:7).
3) Commissioning ceremony. This is the field that God is sending you to. Remnants are the spiritual soldiers of your fields (school, workplace, military). You are the spiritual commander for God’s kingdom in your field (Isaiah 55:4).
② As Christ commissioned all church members, he promised the blessing of the throne, the power to transcend time and space, and the power of the light for 237. This is when you hold onto your identity of a spiritual watchman, spiritual doctor, and ambassador of Christ. One or two people is all it takes. God could not find even ten of these people in Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 18:32).
Conclusion – By God’s grace, every work of our hands will become firmly established (verse 17). This is the only, uniqueness, and recreation system. May our lives become a life that God takes responsibility for from before birth to eternity.
From the Womb to Eternity (Psalm 90:10-17) 8/22/2021 August 22, 2021The Field of Answers of 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
Those Who are Walking the God-given Journey (Isaiah 62:6-11) 8/15/2021
We are living in an age where nothing is certain. Bad news is all around us and that is what we hear all the time. Statements about another foreseeable pandemic, potential economic crises, or rising unemployment rates continue to darken everyone’s heart. It appears there are three types of individuals. Those who take this crisis as an opportunity, those who live however life takes them, and those who become oppressed by reality and fall into frustration, anger, depression, and addiction. God’s people must not be at a place where they simply fall into one of these categories. All these things happening in the world right now are rightful, necessary, and absolute until the day of Christ’s return.
- What is the fact that we must hold onto? God has prepared a separate journey for his people.
The Bible talks about at least three paths. We must follow those ways.
1) Christ, who is the son of God and was sent by God, is our way (John 14:6). He died on the cross and resurrected to solve our curses and to prepare our paths for us. No matter what problem or crisis we face, he will directly guide us, help us, and protect us through the Holy Spirit (John 14:26-27). This is the absolute solution.
2) Follow the narrow gate and the narrow road (Matthew 7:13-14). People of this world strive for bigger doors for their greed and success, but they do not know that those doors and roads lead to destruction. God’s people may experience suffering or loss in this world. However, for those who hold onto the “only” that God desires, God has prepared different blessings. This is the absolute blessing.
3) Prepare the highway that will save all nations and people (Isaiah 62:10). It means that evangelism and missions is the way. Even if there are many disasters in this world, the end will come only when this gospel is preached to the ends of the earth (Matthew 24:14). This is the absolute future. Those who realize and devote themselves for evangelism and missions are those who move the time schedule of this age. Rightfully, historical answers will follow. This is also the absolute reason God must give our upper room ministry churches blessings and answers during these difficult times.
- We have three clear goals of God as we walk our path. That is why is it called a “journey.”
There is a difference between the word “journey” and similar words like “trip,” “tour,” or “travel.” A journey refers to the entirety of a life, and within that life, there is God’s absolute plan (covenant journey).
1) Journey of a witness. This is the reason God is with his saved people (with, Immanuel, oneness).
① God will make our entire life as a saved child of God into His evidence.
If we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord, but whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord (Romans 14:8). Thus, we must not be discouraged or shaken, or use humanism.
② This is the reason God has posted watchmen that will never be silent for his chosen people (verse 6). God will raise up Jerusalem, or his chosen people, to be glorified and become praise of the earth (verse 7). This was the covenant that God gave to his remaining people, the remnants, after their nation had crumbled and was taken into captivity. If we truly look upon “only,” God will make all the pain, tears, and injustice that we went through into evidence.
③ Those people will become witnesses to resurrect the crumbling temples and churches. “Never again will I give your grain as food for your enemies, but those who harvest it will eat it and praise the Lord, in the courts of my sanctuary” (verse 8-9).
2) Journey of an evangelist. This is the second reason God must raise us as witnesses. Through us, God will save people, save the world, and save all nations and peoples. Others must see us and receive salvation. Evangelism will take place (Isaiah 60:1-5).
① Go through the gates and prepare the way(Verse10). What is the way? When God sends people our way, we must be prepared to explain accurately why Christ is the unique way for all our life’s problems (1 Peter 3:15, way of salvation).
② Remove the stones. These are things we must be healed from and renew in our lives. Satan will continue to deceive us with the 12 traps and temptations. We can start by changing our standards that are centered around ourselves, the flesh, and the world. Fight the spiritual battle against things that come from generational spiritual problems and are imbedded in our lives as our personality, lifestyle, and habits that will eventually bring us failure.
③ Raise a banner for all nations (237 and 5000 people groups).
A banner represents a system. Prayer system, training system, healing system, and financial systems that will fulfill world evangelism. That is why there must be individuals like prayer watchmen, word ministers, healing ministers, and businesspeople with financial blessings inside the church. God has promised the authority of the throne and transcendence of time and space to those who hold onto this covenant in preparation.
3) Journey of eternal future.
There is another important meaning behind the term “journey.” It means we are travelling without a promise of return.
① We do not even have a reason to return. We have an eternal and complete time and day ahead of us(Verse11). On this earth we may be weak (daughters of Zion), but there is eternal salvation and prize ahead. Even if we do small things or give small devotions or live just one day, we are looking forward to the eternal land and prize. ② As we go, we are raising up our next generations as remnant disciples. We need to help this gospel become the imprint, root and nature of our remnants when they are young, so that they can be used as the leaders of their age, as evangelism disciples, and as spiritual summits. This is a time that does not even return to the youngest of remnants (Ecclesiastes 12:1). There were two forces that led Thomas Edison’s entire life (1% inspiration, eternal hope for the future).
Conclusion – We are living in this uncertain world, but we are looking toward a very certain future that God has prepared. God has prepared the three journeys for us. Do not be stressed or oppressed by this difficult world, but rather begin anew. There are two ways in front of us(way of the God, way of the world). Your choice and resolution today will determine your entire life’s journey. May we only look upon Christ, not be deceived by this world full of lies and corruption, and walk the path of saving 237, all nations and peoples.
Those Who are Walking the God-given Journey (Isaiah 62:6-11) 8/15/2021 August 15, 2021The Field of Answers of the 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
237 Healing Summit Leader (Genesis 41:38) 8/8/2021
The theme for the 24th World Remnant Conference was “237, Healing, Summit Leader.” A very specific message was proclaimed. Remnants must hold onto the covenant that “I am preparing to become 237, healing, summit leader,” and all parents and church officers must hold onto the covenant that “I am raising a 237, healing, summit leader.” When we hold onto God’s Word as a covenant that is given to us, God fulfills that and reveals what we must do next (1 Thessalonians 2:13). The world is severely difficult and hard. People and even churches are crumbling. Thus, a person who is holding onto this covenant is needed. Regardless of our environment and reality, works to change the individual, family, church, and age will arise if one person like Joseph holds onto the covenant.
- Start by embracing the covenant concerning the 237 nations in your heart and prayer (Remnant’s beginning).
237 nations, in other words, is the entire world, all peoples, and all nations. This is God’s heart and plan. What was the point of sending Joseph into Egypt, the powerful nation of that age? It was to make Egypt a platform to save the world.
1) God’s covenant for the 237 had been planted in our lives from the beginning (Genesis 1:27-28).
God told us to “be fruitful and multiply” be and to “fill the earth and subdue it.” “To fill the earth and subdue” does not mean to trample on and destroy the world. God had foreseen how much the world would crumble due to humans’ greed and be conquered by the forces of darkness. God tells us to stand as ones who will save and bless the world with God’s heart.
2) Why did God send Abraham into Canaan and bless him?
God told Abraham that he would bless him and make him into a great nation, and that “all peoples on earth will be blessed” through him (Genesis 12:1-3). The Israelites lost hold of this in the Old Testament. They had absolutely no heart for evangelism to save people or missions to save the world. Therefore, God sent the Israelites into the entire world as slaves, captives, and colonies to make them live with the rest.
3) Those who held onto the 237 covenant there like Joseph stood as witnesses who saved the world.
① Because believers and churches have lost hold of this blessing, powerful nations without God, the 3 groups/organizations, and people who practice transcendental meditation have seized everything.
They have filled and subdued the earth contrastingly to God’s will. Who is at fault?
② If we embrace God’s heart for the 237 starting now, God will restore everything.
This is what Jesus promised the disciples right before His ascension (Matthew 28:18-20, Mark 16:17-20, Acts 1:8). He will be with us with the authority that moves heaven and earth (power of the throne) and give us evidence that bounds us to be witnesses to the ends of the earth.
③ This needs to be placed in the soul, heart, and prayer (imprint) during the Remnant period. Roots and fruits emerge from what has been placed.
In the word, edit God’s heart for me and the world. Then, go forth as adults (coming of age ceremony).
- We must prepare to stand as the ones who will heal the 237 nations (Remnant’s identity).
With what strength are we going to heal the world? God has promised us the authority of the throne and the power that transcends time and space.
1) Open up your spiritual eyes and restore the spiritual reality first.
Why did the world crumble and become so difficult? There is someone that tempted and destroyed the first of mankind – Adam and Eve. They began to deny God, follow their own greed, and their relationship with God became severed. Who replaced God afterwards? It was Satan, the first corrupted spirit (John 8:44, John 10:10, Ephesians 60:2, 2Timothy 3:1).
2) Through the training of true prayer, we must overcome this darkness and gain the spiritual strength to save the world.
① The problem is that our prayers are focused on solving our issues and receiving only physical blessings.
We must restore the five things of spiritual prayer. Enjoyment of the triune God, the power and authority that comes from God (blessing of the throne), help of angels, defeat of Satan’s authority, and restoration of God’s image (spirituality).
② Discover your own prayer. You will be able to see what you need to do next. Through prayer, your life will be drafted and planned (missioning ceremony).
You can pray this prayer even as a slave, or in prison. Samuel prayed this near the ark of the covenant in the temple.
3) That is when God becomes the planner of your life, and from there comes God’s masterpiece.
① There will be a masterpiece of With, Immanuel, and Oneness.
Joseph’s life became God’s masterpiece, and everyone he met and everything he did became God’s masterpiece. All the problems, pain and suffering that Joseph went through (nobody, nothing) became God’s method of creating God’s masterpiece (everybody, everything).
② You will be able to confirm the time schedule of 24, 25, and eternity.
The today that God has permitted (my concentration) and the absolute power that God reveals are connected to the blessing of next generation and eternity. Our eyes to see others, events, the world, and the future will change. This is the beginning of healing and the conclusion.
- For all this, God will raise up his people (remnants) as the true summit (Remnant’s conclusion).
We are not talking about the summit of the world. It is the spiritual summit. We are going as a summit to save the summit (commissioning ceremony).
1) We must first hold onto the reason. This is the reason God called us as royal priesthood (1Peter2:9). We are ambassadors of Christ (2Corinthians 5:20).
If we hold onto the wrong reason, we will fail even if we reach success. Parents’ words and actions are very important (1Samuel 17:29).
“I am going to save people and the world.” Hold onto this covenant and design your life through evangelism (conclusion).
2) Behind every leader, there was some individual. Joseph had his father (Genesis 37:11, 45:28).
All lay leaders need to look out for an opportunity to be a remnant’s watchman, supporter, or a mentor. You only need to help one person.
3) We are looking forward to the day that remnants become evangelists and disciples to heal and save the world.
Start with yourself, holding onto the covenant. We are all going through training to stand as evangelists of only, uniqueness, and recreation.
① Only – from here comes spirituality. People notice things when you continue to look to only Christ (verse 38).
② Uniqueness – from here comes specialty. Does specialty only come from studies and experiences? God’s blessing was upon Joseph (verse 39).
③ Recreation – there is a heart that desires to save people and the world. From here come character.
For this, we learn to yield, be considerate, and help others. These individuals are the true summit (verse 40). True evangelism and missions are accomplished through these three things.
Conclusion – Just like Joseph, start from the very bottom; with the smallest of things in what you do. Our standard of thought is the covenant. Our eyesight points upwards to the highest and the deepest of things that God desires. May the training and answers of a healing, summit, and leader for 237 nations begin in your lives.
237 Healing Summit Leader (Genesis 41:38) 8/8/2021 August 8, 2021The Field of Answers of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd RUTC:
“OURS” that Spiritual Summit must Enjoy (Genesis 39:1-6) 8/1/2021
Everything is unsure and difficult, but we are facing an ever more difficult age. It seems as if the pandemic has halted everything around us, but things are rather changing rapidly. This is the 4th industrial revolution. We must prepare for this change in advance. How must people of God live? We have God-given answers. The acronym for the four answers that God has given us is called “OURS.” It can also mean “ours” as it reads in English.
- It is “only.”
A Harvard professor wrote in his book Different, that if we want to live as leaders in this world, we cannot merely be “number one,” but the “only one.” For that, he emphasized going through creative destruction of ourselves, breaking our stereotypes, and differentiation.
1) What does “only” mean to us? Why do we absolutely need this?
① We must hold onto the most precious thing that God has given us as our “only.” It is fundamental, absolute, and eternal. Discover what it is and find all your answers there.
② This is what Jesus meant when he told about the parable of the hidden treasure underground, the pearls, and the fish.
Once you have found something of great value, you can easily sell or throw away everything else.
2) What is the true “only” that we must hold onto? It is Christ who God sent has the answer to all life’s problems.
① He has become our savior. With the authorities of Priest, Prophet and King, he has freed us from all mankind’s corruption, the hidden spiritual problems that come from it, as well as all curses and judgement (Romans 8:1-2). Judgement like that of Noah’s time may come (Matthew 24:37-39) but by the grace of God, we are in the ark.
② He has become our eternal answer (John 19:30). We do not need to be afraid even when we face bigger problems and curses. If we truly look upon only Christ, there will be separate blessings for us that only Christ can give. That is why we call it “only.” What was so different about Joseph in passage? He lived as not a “number one”, but an “only one.” He almost died in the hands of his brothers and was sold into slavery. God delivered him from that and was with him through all of that.
3) How can this Christ become my only and our only?
① Concentrate on the Word to make Him the “only” in your life (Coordinate/edit, draft, and design with the Word of God). Look for the verses where God expresses his love for your and how much he treasures you and coordinate or edit your life around it. You will rediscover your life. You will realize how you should live your life. That is to “draft.” Discovering what you must prepare and possess is to “design.”
② The difficulties and problems you are facing right now is the best opportunity to experience this “only.”
Including Joseph, the 7 remnants in the Bible, as well as all people of God experienced this “only” through times of loneliness and pain. People and the world can discard you, but God will hold onto you with His love until the very end (Romans 8:30-39, Philippians 1:6).
③ For individuals dealing with hidden spiritual problems, it is the absolute opportunity to experience this “only” and stand as a witness.
Many people have sleep paralysis, hear demonic things, and suffer from uncurable diseases. Some give up or go on to become shamans. When you hold onto the blood covenant of Christ and look upon him, Satan will tremble and flee away. This is what happened to the Israelites after 400 years of slavery when they painted the blood on their doors during Passover(Exodus 12:27-29).
- It is the blessing of “uniqueness.”
When we look to only Christ, our lives (studies, work, business, ministry) will be governed by Him (God’s kingdom). What type of jobs should we look for in times of this 4th industrial revolution? It will not matter to those who hold onto “only” and “uniqueness.”
1) Hold onto the blessing of God’s uniqueness in all that you do.
Even if Joseph lived as a slave, because God was with him, everything he touched – Potiphar’s household and even its plants in the yard – received blessings. Only Joseph was able to speak of the answers (Genesis 39:22), and the King had no choice but to listen to Joseph (Genesis 41:40).
2) Even in evangelism, enjoy the power and answers of uniqueness.
Hold onto “only Christ” and explain only this Christ to others that you meet. Prepared individuals will hear and receive answers, healing, and transformation (unique evangelism).
3) God will make even our small actions toward missions become blessings of uniqueness.
Begin with people of different ethnicities around you as your missions. Tell them about Christ and stand as His witness. That was how all of our church’s ministers and members were raised.
- It is the work of recreation.
Recreation is the work of salvation. It refers to the work that changes people, environments, and the world.
1) When you enjoy this blessing of uniqueness in your life, people will come to you. That is evangelism (Isaiah 60:1-5).
They will hear the answer of Christ, hear your testimony and come alive. That is the work of the Holy Spirit.
2) What is even more important – because of you, one person, that held onto only and uniqueness, the entire flow of your field will change.
① Because of one person, Joseph, the flow of the Potiphar’s house, the prison, the palace, and Egypt as a nation changed. He was the true summit.
During the 7-year surplus, he conserved the grains, and during their 7-year famine, they sold those grains and Egypt profited and prospered.
② Things like this will happen as a streak of true light enters into a non-believing or a religious household through one person.
People may look down on or persecute like Joseph’s older brothers, but later, they will have no choice but to be thankful.
3) Ultimately, starting from one person Joseph, the work of saving their age and future generations arose.
Through this Joseph, his future descendants were saved, the 12 tribes formed, and Christ came.
Conclusion – A spiritual summit is someone who holds onto the covenant of only, uniqueness, and recreation (Genesis 41:38). If we as single individuals stand as witnesses, that will be the “individual system.” When these individuals gather, that will become the “field system” and “church system.” God desires to use us this way in this age. May “OURS” be truly ours.
“OURS” that Spiritual Summit must Enjoy (Genesis 39:1-6) 8/1/2021 August 1, 2021The Field of Answers of the 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
The Spiritual Summit’s Time Schedule (Corinthians 6:1-2) 7/25/2021
Last week, the world’s wealthiest people traveled to space on their privately built and owned spacecraft. For his eighteen-year-old son to spend ten minutes in space, the father had to spend at least 25million dollars. Bezos, the CEO of Amazon said this in an interview after his trip to space. He announced that anyone could go to space for $200,000 and spoke of their goals. He said that they are building a city (colony) that could replace the earth that is dying away.
By that time, the Lord will have to return. Even if that may be possible, how much money would you need to have if 10 minutes in space costs $200,000? In the end, it is for the summits of this world who have money and power (Movie “Elysium”).
This age is an age of summit wars. People with money and power are ruling over the world. They are no different from the figures who appeared in the event of the Babel Tower in Genesis 11:1-4. They did not need God. They desired to climb to the top of the heavens and write their names there. It is the 0.1% minority. How others make a living does not matter to them. Many people will lose their jobs, suffer from absolute poverty, and deal with severe mental illness as we face the 4th Industrial Revolution. What is the core word in the 4th Industrial Revolution? It is ‘High Tech’. It is a war concerning who the fastest is and who can go the highest. It is a war between businesses and nations (the Olympic motto: Faster, Higher, Stronger).
Satan’s goal is clear. It is to destroy the individual, family, church and eventually the world by utilizing everything (John 10:10, John 14:30, Ephesians 6:12). What does God desire to do? He desires to raise the true summits who can stand and fight against them and save the world and the lives that were destroyed by them. Thus, the summit war is a spiritual war. This year’s Kindergarten/Elementary and Youth Group Summit Camp has ended. Thank you to all those who worked for the camp. There is something that we must be consistent about. Continuously have forum, plant the absolute mission, give internships, and help the remnants so that they can have life forum.
- No matter how inadequate we are, God’s absolute plan is to raise us as summits who will save the world.
1) God has given the covenant that He will raise His people as summits who transcend the worldly summits in each age.
He gave this to Israel (Deuteronomy 33:29), to the believers who were taken as captives (Isaiah 55:4. Isaiah 60:22), to his weak disciples (Matthew 28:18-20), and to all believers (Acts 1:8).
2) In every age, God has left them to remain. They are the remnants.
Let the covenant of the word “remnant” become your imprints, roots, and nature. Remnants are those who have been chosen (Romans 11:5), who have the holy seed (Isaiah 6:13), who live as diasporas (Isaiah 49:6), and those who live as the spiritual summit (Genesis 41:38). They will be the disciples that will save all nations (Matthew 28:18-20).
- Do not be chased down by non-believers’ time schedule. Look upon God’s time schedule.
The world’s time schedule is the “peak,” and “faster, higher, stronger.” Everything is going at its top speed, and it is a warzone. If we try and keep up with this, it will slowly kill us. There is a separate time schedule of God.
1) It is 24. It is Today that God has allowed us.
It does not matter if many problems, suffering, and persecution follow. God knows everything (Psalm 2:4). God knew how corrupted mankind will become, where we are headed, and how Satan will attack the believers and the church (Satan’s 12 strategies).
① That is why God had prepared the gospel long ages past (Romans 16:25).
God sent his son as Priest, King, and Prophet; the one with the authority of heaven. He finished all our lives’ curses, destiny, Satan, and hell (John 19:30), and made us his children (Romans8:15-17).
② Try concentrating as you hold onto this gospel as your only.
That is only Christ (absolute answer), only God’s kingdom (absolute background and mission), and only the power of the Holy Spirit (absolute power). Non-believers are meditating day and night. How will we overcome the world if we don’t have such a time of focusing on God for ourselves?
③ That is when we can experience God’s grace and God’s help.
“In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you.” Make a time to focus on the gospel. Interpret everything in prayer (Edison’s “Genius is one percent inspiration, 99 percent perspiration”).
2) It is 25. That is the absolute evidence that God will give us.
For humans, 25 is a time of despair. Within God’s time schedule, it is a time of absolute blessings.
① When we truly look upon God, and entrust our lives to him, it will all become opportunity. There are separate answers that God has set aside. Everything will become good for those who love him (Romans 8:28).
② We cannot see, but there are absolute answers prepared for us (Jeremiah 33:3).
So do not be deceived by the people you see, the reality you see, and by small answers you may see now.
③ So what is the absolute answer and absolute evidence we must enjoy?
God will use all problems and circumstances to create His masterpiece. Historically, all the masterpieces created by the people of God were God’s blessing that came about amid their suffering (People who translated the Bible, Paradise Lost by John Milton, The Pilgrim’s Progress by John Bunyan, Fanny Crosby’s hymns).
3) It is eternity. Eternal blessings that God has prepared.
① We do not need to compete with anyone. We can yield everything. There are blessings that God has set aside for us.
② The small dedication or devotion you made while holding onto this time schedule will become your eternal prize from God.
“If you lose anything for the gospel, you will enjoy a hundred-fold and eternal life” (Mark 10:29-30). “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me” (Matthew 25:31-40). “A man reaps what he sows” (Galatians 6:7-8).
③ We do not need to struggle to create a new city in space.
We have the new heaven and the new earth that our creator God has prepared for us. We do not need money or anything else to enjoy that blessings (Isaiah 55:1). All we need to do is hold onto God’s grace and save lives as we live on earth (evangelism and missions).
Conclusion – It is the age of summit wars. We need to be the spiritual summit. We need to enjoy God’s deep things. Do not be hasty; live with leisure as your focus on Him. May you hold onto God’s time schedule and enjoy 24, 25, and eternity.
The Spiritual Summit’s Time Schedule (Corinthians 6:1-2) 7/25/2021 July 25, 2021The Field of Answers of the 1st 2nd 3rd RUTC:
Spiritual Summit in the Virtual Age (3 John 1:1-2) 7/18/2021
We call this age the age of 4th industrial revolution. Information technology (media, communication of information through computers), artificial intelligence, and genetic engineering have developed, and we have entered an age where everything is changing rapidly. A notable, representative change that took place was the transition to online platforms. We are now doing things without seeing each other, and the COVID-19 pandemic has expedited this lifestyle.
It may seem convenient, but we expect more and more negative consequences. Within 10 years, we expect to see many jobs become obsolete and die out, and the proletariat class will continue to increase and will have to struggle to make a living. Some schools are receiving education and studying from super computers. Telemedicine can prescribe medication virtually, and even surgeries will be performed more accurately by artificial intelligence. Even building houses can be much like an online order. BTS group has expanded across the world through virtual activities, and a transcendental meditation class sponsored by Google recorded 2 million participants. The revenue collected from advertisements and other channels are said to be astronomical.
A more serious problem that people will face is mental illness. Absolute poverty will continue, and as interpersonal relationships dwindle, despair and frustration will result in increasing loneliness, panic disorders, and schizophrenic behaviors. In 2 Timothy 3:4, it says that because everything will hasten, people will become lovers of themselves, unforgiving, and quick to betray. To mitigate these things, people turn to transcendental meditation, chi movements, shamanism, fortune telling, and religion, which will bring about even greater spiritual problems. We will face the 2nd and 3rd age of Nephilim.
- In such day and age, who is the true summit that God will need and use?
The Bible prophesizes an age like this, and these phenomena are signs of the end times. That is why the answer is also in the Bible.
1) If you go into the workforce, it will be important to specialize in higher technology.
People with specialties in technology will dominate the world. The world is currently fighting this battle.
2) As unemployment rates rise and inflation accelerate, we will need financial specialists.
This is also the reason house prices are incredibly high (increased remote work, preemptive actions against inflation, interest rate cuts).
3) However, who will be the true summit? The true summit is the one with God’s answer.
True summit is someone who can give the answer to those who are afflicted because of this virtual age (Isaiah 60:2). Those individuals will be the spiritual summit, evangelism summit, and the summit of this age.
- If so, what is the core of a true summit? We must restore the fundamental (essential) things first.
In this virtual age, we must have something we can compete with. That is the spiritual things. Spiritual things are not visible. It is the most virtual of the virtual.
1) As saved people, if we receive spiritual strength and experience spiritual authority and power, we can overcome everything (transcend time and space).
Really hold onto the correct gospel and receive strength from worship. Holy spirit within us will save our souls, and we will be able to save whoever we meet (Jeremiah 33:3, John 14:12-14). The Holy Spirit will work.
2) This is something we must do for our children. The parents’ spiritual state, as well as their devotion and prayer will be relayed to the children.
After Jacob found out Joseph went missing, he truly held onto the covenant and prayer (Genesis 37:11, Genesis 45:28). In all the circumstances that Joseph faced, God was with him and the Holy Spirit worked. The Bible says, “I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well.” Do not switch the order.
3) What is the essential means by which we can enjoy this blessing and answer? The three only’s.
① Only Christ is the answer to all life’s problems (John 19:30).
This is the mystery that will free us from all failures, curses, fate, and Satan’s authority and grant us complete victory. He is within us. Hold onto the covenant of the blood that he shed, the power of his resurrection, and do all things within his grace (Ephesians2:8-9, 1Corinthians 15:10).
② Only God’s kingdom is our absolute background and absolute mission (Acts 1:3).
We are living on this earth, but as saved people of God, we are not of this world (Philippians 3:20). Our blessings and answers are stored elsewhere. We must enjoy our heavenly background first and look to the things above. Ultimately, it is a battle between the power of this world and the power of God. We must first enjoy God’s kingdom within us (Mark 17:21). At that moment we will be given righteousness, peace, and joy (Romans 14:17). Satan’s authority will crumble, and we will have spiritual victory (Matthew 12:28). Disciples who enjoyed this kingdom of God saved Rome and the world. They accomplished things that the summits of the world could never imagine.
③ Only the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:8). With our own strength, it will become increasingly difficult. That is why we look to the power of the Holy Spirit.
There will be many people who show forms of godliness but do not experience its true power (2 Timothy 3:5).
- To stand as the true summit of this virtual age, there are things we must challenge ourselves towards.
1) Challenge yourself with the five deep things that will be the mystery of our survival in this age. These are the fundamentals that will save ourselves.
Deep meditation, deep prayer, deep breathing, deep food, and deep exercise. This is the mystery by which we can save our souls, hearts and minds, thoughts, bodies, and everything else. New believers and those who are going through difficulties should try listening to the pulpit and other messages once a day and meditate on it. As you listen, try breathing and exercising. It will change the imprints deep inside you and save all things. The church must keep praying to raise specialized workers who can train these deep things.
2) Evangelism and missions in the virtual age. We need lots of materials and systems to use them.
Satan has gotten a hold of this online world. We must save the world through virtual evangelism and missions. Online platforms have become greater doors for evangelism and missions. Truly prepared individuals receive answers even through online messages. The Early church evangelized and nurtured new believers through letters, and through the work of the Holy Spirit, true disciple arose. Some people may stop giving worship as a result of the virtual worship, but it may potentially be God’s method of filtering out the real believers and disciples. The concept is virtual. The content is only Christ and the gospel. We just need to establish a system. Disciples who will be able to connect even through online communication.
3) Establishing a system to meet in smaller, regional church groups
We must pray for regional churches in all 50 states that will proclaim only the gospel. With online worship, it is now even more possible. Especially in this age, the answer to saving the church can begin with individual mission homes and regional churches.
Conclusion – It all depends on who conquered this virtual age first. We just need to look upon Christ who has the authority of the throne and the power of the Holy Spirit that transcends time and space. May you be trained and raised to be the true summit that God uses.

Heal the TCKs Toward the Summit (2 Timothy 2:19-21)
Two weeks ago, we shared the message that the TCKs is the main figure who will save the world. This is God’s absolute plan for the TCKs. The two-week Youth Summit Camp will start. We must begin by holding onto the covenant of healing the TCKs and raising them as the Summits. The book of Timothy is an epistle written by TCK evangelist Paul addressed to TCK disciple Timothy. Timothy was a TCK of TCKs. His father was a Greek, and his mother was a Jew. He was a remnant that Paul had met in Lystra, a region in present-day Turkey, during his second evangelism trip. Timothy would have been a TCK that grew up in a diverse language and cultural background and would have created a third culture growing up. Paul gave an important parable in today’s passage. There are several vessels in a large house. However, no matter how big and nice a vessel is, the master will not use it unless it is a prepared and clean vessel. The TCKs are undoubtedly people who have been prepared for God’s important works. The issue is whether they are ready to be used. This is not an issue that only concerns the TCKs. All believers have been prepared to be used by God, but the problem is that I am not adequately prepared. What must we prepare? May all people going into this Summit Camp and all church members receive these answers.
- We must receive fundamental healing (verse 19).
What kind of conflicts and problems do I currently have? Also, if I am planning and starting important works, this is even more important.
1) It is a matter of whether I truly know and enjoy God.
How much do I know and enjoy God who has taken me as His people and made me His child? Everything comes from this.
① God has something unwavering. It is a unique and steadfast foundation.
It said that God put that into the Word and sealed it. To seal something means that not anyone can see or understand(Secret)
② That is the Gospel. It says that all treasures of God’s wisdom and knowledge are within that (Colossians 2:2-3). It is simple.
God, the Creator of all, loved everyone (John 3:16). That love of God was revealed through Christ’s cross (Romans 5:8). We have been freed from all the forces of sin, destiny, Satan, and hell (Romans 8:1-2, Colossians 1:13-14). The Holy Spirit (John 14:16-18) is with the people of God who have been delivered for the important works of God they will do (World Evangelization).
2) God says that He knows His people.
① We have become His people and children.
Therefore, our physical parents may not know, but God knows our weaknesses, tears, and pain (Psalm 139:1-10).
② When we truly look upon God, it said that He will do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think (Ephesians 3:20).
Thus, guard your hearts and mind (Proverbs 4:23). Pray everything with thanksgiving. God will guard your thoughts (Philippians 4:6-7).
3) The passage tells us to turn away from worldly wickedness. This is speaking beyond merely sinning.
It is talking about Satan’s 12 strategies and frames. People are unwittingly trapped in these 12 frames.
① The basics are the six states of the unbeliever.
Unbeknownst to the individual, he is trapped in the destiny that comes from original sin and his household and family background. This is where all mental problems, physical illness, and small failures that the children face come from. This was the same reason God told Abraham to leave his family, relatives, and father’s household. It says that this blessing will be relayed to the children’s children if one follows the accurate covenant and obeys it (Psalms 103:17).
② There are three ideals that are controlling the individual. It is the standard of all thoughts, decisions, and actions.
The self-centered ideal of Genesis 3. People are bound by their own greed, selfishness, and stubbornness. That creates arrogance and an inferiority complex. The flesh-centered ideal of Genesis 6. Visible materials and the world come first before spiritual blessings. The success-centered ideal of Genesis 11. There is no consideration for others. There is only the thought of competing to win. It is the Tower of Babel.
③ The three worldly spiritual problems that came from this.
People are quietly bound by shamans (Acts 13). Now, people are falling into the chi movement and transcendental meditation movement. People are worried about the future, so they fall into fortune-telling (Acts 16). The church becomes like this if it falls into mysticism. Seven demons will enter (Matthew 12:45). A religion that has no gospel and no Christ will seize the world (Acts 19). Some too many religious individuals attend church with no life.
- We must heal our basics. We must train five deep things daily and establish them as our basics.
Our spiritual state, health, interpersonal relationships, and everything else come from the basics. Whatever you do, you will crumble if you do not have the basics. Why do people have so many mental problems (depression, panic disorder, anger issues, schizophrenia)? They are unable to bear the minor problems or irritations. Shallow water makes noise, but deep waters flow with absolutely no noise. That is why we need deep things (Luke 5:4).
1) Have deep meditation. Transcendental meditation is about emptying yourself, but holy meditation repeatedly thinks about God’s word (Psalms 1:2-3).
This is what it meant by, “he opened his window towards Jerusalem, got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to God.” He remembered the covenant of Jerusalem, God’s covenant for the chosen people. It is the same covenant we must hold onto.
2) Have deep prayer. It is a prayer that seeks God’s heart, plan, and things before asking for my needs (Matthew 6:44).
3) Take deep breaths (deep breathing). My brain will be revived, most stress and sicknesses will be overcome, and health will be restored.
4) Eat slow (deep) food. Instead of instant food and tasty food, eat what is good for your body. Food is medicine (1 Corinthians 10:31).
5) Do deep exercise. I need to continue exercises that suit my body. It is maintaining my body’s balance (1 Timothy 4:8).
- We must heal our foundation. It is the potential power in me.
This is why we must develop our God-given talent, read books, and study.
1) Everyone has a God-given talent (spiritual gift) (1 Corinthians 12:4-11). The Holy Spirit gives it to us when we enjoy God’s grace.
Wisdom, knowledge, and even serving and hosting others are spiritual gifts.
2) Learning languages for world evangelization is the TCK’s privilege.
Train to where you can interpret in both languages. This is the greatest missions that remnants can do.
3) There is a skill that applies to all fields in the 4th Revolution Age. It is IT such as media and computers.
The world will become even more fast-paced through the media and IT. The remnants must go beforehand and help the adults and serve the church.
Conclusion – It said that there will be godless chatter in the world in the final days. It said that it will spread like gangrene (verse 17). However, those who have prepared themselves will be used for God’s good works. There is the greatest thing that God has prepared and set aside for the TCKs and all believers who are in the covenant. May our remnants be used within that and enjoy God’s deep answers.

The Thanksgiving of the Spiritual Summit (Daniel 6:3-10)
Today is the Feast of Harvest Sunday, which is also called the Pentecost. It is one among the three feasts that have the blessings that the saved believer must enjoy. The Pentecost is for us to remember that we have been freed and delivered in Christ. The Feast of Harvest means for us to experience how God helps the life of a believer through the works of the Holy Spirit. The Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) is the eternal blessing of the background of heaven and the evangelism and missions that take place within that. What is the conclusive blessing that comes when one enjoys the blessings of the three feasts? It is the blessing of the true summit. It goes beyond average success. The saved believer becomes a spiritual summit if he continuously enjoys the works of the Holy Spirit. They will do works that save people and the world. They will become the main figures of the works of God of that age. They are also called the summits of the age. Daniel from the passage enjoyed this blessing even when his nation had perished and become captive. That is the covenant that all believers will enjoy (Isaiah 55:4, Isaiah 60:22). No matter how much hardship and suffering we may face, we are not in the situation where we were brought as a slave like Joseph or as a captive like Daniel. Yet, why are there so many conflicts in our lives, and why does the summit’s blessing feel so distant from me? I need to make my life’s posture into one that is bound to live as a true summit just as God’s promise. The important word is thanksgiving.
- Why is thanksgiving important?
1) It is because thanksgiving is worship. Worship is time to exalt and thank God. At that time, the blessings He gives come.
Why must we exalt and thank God? It is because God has given us everything (life, salvation, health, time). Thus, worship that has no true thanksgiving is not worship (Psalms 50:14-23). God said that He would save us even if tribulations may come. Daniel gave thanks in his prayer even when he was thrown in the lion’s den due to the envy of others (Daniel 6:10).
2) Miracles arise when one prays with true thanksgiving. More accurately, it is a time for the works of the Holy Spirit to arise.
Evangelist Paul was imprisoned and went through hardships numerous times, but he most frequently gave thanks (Ephesians 5:4, Philippians 4:6-7, Colossians 2:7). Miracles and the works of the Holy Spirit will be revealed in everything (problems, events, work) we do if thanksgiving continues.
3) When thanksgiving is restored in me, the works of darkness are bound, and life healing arises.
What was the reason the Israelites walking in the wilderness died from being bitten by snakes? They continued to be discouraged, complain, and resent instead of giving thanks (Numbers 21:4-6). It said, “the people grew impatient on the way.” A nature that made everything into scars had been formed in them. What is the way to live by God’s will? It is the way to be victorious even without fighting against Satan. 1 It’s Thessalonians 5:16-18. We must train this lifelong.
- What must we give thanks for?
We must see that in Daniel. It’s not average thanksgiving. It was true thanksgiving, thanksgiving that transcended everything, and the summit’s thanksgiving.
1) Daniel gave thanks for the fact that He was in God’s absolute covenant.
This is what it meant by, “he opened his window towards Jerusalem, got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to God.” He remembered the covenant of Jerusalem, God’s covenant for the chosen people. It is the same covenant we must hold onto.
① It is the covenant of Christ that has eternally freed us from all curses, destiny, Satan, and forces of hell.
If we are truly in Christ and look upon Him, we can never perish. Even if we perish, we’re not perishing. Even if we die, it is not death. Eternal life, eternal glory, and an everlasting kingdom are awaiting us.
② There is a covenant that we will enjoy there as we have become Children of God in Christ.
The blessing of God that sent an angel into Daniel’s lion’s den to hold down the lion’s mouth is one of the blessings of seven blessings of the children of God (Hebrews 1:14). If I am truly a child of God, I need to have a Child of God-like life posture. That comes as thanksgiving.
③ Daniel did not just happen to come as a captive, nor was he successful by chance. He knew the Remnant’s covenant. He was the remaining one, the remnant (Isaiah 6:13).
He held onto the covenant that through the remaining one, the remnant, the light will shine to the gentiles and that the glory will come upon the ends of the earth (Isaiah 59:6). Both my death and life, my success and failure, are in God’s sovereignty (Romans 14:8). Whether he lived or died, Daniel gave thanks for the fact that He was in the line of the covenant, the flow of the covenant, and the covenant journey.
2) Daniel gave thanks that He did not waiver inside the covenant.
He would have negotiated with the evil ones or had fled if he was afraid or if his faith had shaken. Most people live like this.
① God held onto that heart and controlled it. This is the work of works of the Holy Spirit.
“ I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” (Ephesians 3:16).
② This is why we must pray even when problems and crises come to us. God needs to give us strength, wisdom, and power.
The problem is that prayer does not take place just because we want it to. It needs to be trained as nature. “Just as he had done before,” holding onto the covenant and living in prayer had become Daniel’s habit and nature. It was to where no one could point out a flaw in the works he did(Verse4)
③ We are undoubtedly people who have the covenant and who will save ourselves, the posterity, the church, and the world.
We must enjoy all answers in prayer. Train until scheduled, concentrated, deep, and 24 prayer takes place. That is when the works of the watchmen, the power and authority of the throne, the works that transcend time and space, and the evidence to save the 237 nations will come forth.
3) Daniel held onto God’s evidence that would surely come in advance and gave thanks.
It was not that Daniel had merely survived the lion’s den. He became a witness before the kind and the nation. That was evangelism.
① Hold onto the fact that the 237 nations and 5,000 people groups will be saved through us in advance. The CVDIP comes from this.
See in advance the works God will do through me and us, and hold onto, enjoy, experience, and challenge towards it in advance. See the future of myself, my posterity, church, and age in advance in the word. That is why we must hold onto the word (time to listen, read, meditate, and apply). You simply held onto the word, and incurable diseases will be healed.
② We are looking at the future when we do evangelism, support missions, and support remnants.
The person who received the gospel through me shared his mission with me, had forum with me, and received my help (internship), from that, a person to save the age could come forth (D.L Moody, who worked as a shoe smith, the pastor who helped Jon Wanamaker who worked at a brick factory).
Conclusion – Everything is in the covenant. All answers and blessings that we must enjoy are in thanksgiving. May you hold onto the covenant and be filled with thanksgiving, that you may be victorious even in the lion’s den.
