7 Journeys – 21 Lifestyles of the Evangelist – Necessary
7 Journeys, 7 Bartizans
Self-centered
(Thoughts, experiences, knowledge, ideologies, values)
If my experiences are the absolute truth, they can save me; but they are not so my experiences cannot save me. If you place this as your absolute standard, it cannot save you. Why do you live like this? This means we have been deceived by Satan. Ideologies, you’re taught that certain things are absolute, and they become your standard and cannot save you. People know this is wrong to live with this as your standard of life. Values. The European value for beauty is to have a high nose bridge and big eyes, but Americans like East Asian features. What is this talking about? Those are their values, and it’s different for everybody, but you can’t save others. “It can be like this or that,” it’s hard to say, ‘This must be the only way to live.” If you say, “My standard for friendship must be this way,” but if you say, “It must be this way,” you have to control everything. This is the characteristic of someone who lives centered on themselves. Everyone has this, and this actually kills me, this is what Satna has planted within you. You must change this, with what? The fulfillment of God’s covenant must be placed within you, right?
Material-Centered
Everyone has greed. Because this is their center, it becomes hard. I know what it means to be wealthy and poor, I know the mystery meaning, no matter how much the devil tries to attack Paul, he wasn’t centered on physical things so God’s promised covenant must become my absolute standard. If this doesn’t change as you go to church, it’s great to go to church but you must have the grace to know you’re looking at it in this way. Physical things are not wrong but you’re wrong for living a physical-centered life. People without physical things will die, and they have this as their standard. They can’t overcome and continue to emphasize this, they come to church and this is their standard. They say, “I believe in Jesus Christ,” but even then, you must have this standard of physical things. An example is the Israelites who Exodus’ed from Egypt. They wanted physical things to live, they placed their own standards, “I want leeks and meat.” People who live like this have a physical standard, but the people who held onto the covenant of Canaan avoided this, holding onto the things that will take place.
Success-, Power-centered
People gather up power to avoid bad situations. The power of people is okay but this has become their absolute center. These are rooted within us as our standards. That’s why even though we listen to the Word, we live centered on this. As you face difficulties, you need to understand why. You’re not holding onto a standard that is able to save others and yourself. Then, God’s things must be placed within you to become your center and standard.
Jesus = Christ
This must be your center to save yourself and to save others. People hear about this but don’t know about it, so they hear “amen,” but they go back into their lives
With
If this is rooted within you, you’ll be able to come out of me-, physical-, and success-centeredness. The power of the throne becomes my only standard.
Holy Spirit – Power, Witness
It is not your strength or power; it’s only the Holy Spirit, and when you receive the filling of the Holy Spirit, this power is revealed in your lives as the five authorities because those powers must be revealed, and then you will be witnesses until the ends of the earth. I told a remnant earlier to pray while studying, but you need the content in order to pray, holding onto God’s things that will never change or shake. That’s the seven bartizans. Pray right now, some people pray now and some don’t. We don’t work or study on Sunday, we concentrate. We don’t concentrate by staring blankly but we concentrate on God as we pray. As you root in God’s Word, your walk of faith continues. That’s what I’m trying to explain, you need to be able to pray now in order to pray while studying. Even while translating, you pray while translating, if not, what will happen? You do it according to your abilities and skills. Plant and enjoy this, then you’re able to see the future. You’re able to see what will come. Not what you do, but God will reveal it to you.
I’ve prayed about this for a long time. As the word “24 hours” came, there was a time period where I changed my mind. You can now do this whenever and wherever. What’s great about this? You do it whenever you eyes open. There are times you lose hold of it, but what gets better? Even if a problem comes, I don’t shake. When this doesn’t happen, when I face a problem, then I continue to shake. But there are also instances where I face a problem, I shake a little, but I’m able to overcome. I continuously enjoy continuous prayer of 24 hours.
I have this sense. Whatever I do, I do it with this sense. Shall I give an example? Let’s say a police officer in this daily life goes around with this sense of when a robbery or burglary will happen, so they can jump into action. But if there’s a policeman who lives without this sense, even though they’re a policeman, they will go out when they receive a report, but if the police constantly has this sense, they will be able to catch robbers whenever and wherever, not just when they receive a call, but they have this sense. Even for people who play Go, they don’t lose hold of this sense, they play wherever they go. Even if they go sightseeing, they don’t lose the sense of Go. That means they are a professional. Amateurs are not able to do that. Professionals constantly have this sense. Professional musicians don’t lose their sense of music so you can’t beat that, they think of this 24 hours. Even as they go out to play, they think of music. A mother constantly thinks of their baby. A mom left a baby with the man she fell in love with as she went to Europe. When she came back, the baby died of hunger. She had forgotten about the child. Then, she’s not a real mother. The real mother constantly thinks about and cares for the child. They always have this sense and awareness of where the child is. Even if the child is far away, they’ll sense the child and care for the child. If they don’t have the sense, they can’t do anything for the child.
Christian. Wherever, whenever, Christ. Everything comes from that. 24 hour prayer comes from that. It’s here, even at home, and while you’re on the move, while you’re working, that’s what we call a Christian, then you can’t block that. You’re constantly within the works of 24 hours. That reveals itself as power.
Rightful
Gen. 3:15
The problem between Adam and Eve could not be resolved with counseling; it must be Jesus Christ. Adam and Eve’s problem did not come from not vacationing a lot and it can’t be solved by vacationing. Even for disasters of Egypt, you can’t solve it with anything else. It’s because they constantly served idols to get what they wanted. An idol is something you constantly rely on. Because they believed in this “only the covenant,” it led to a miracle.
Ex. 3:18
Blood sacrifice, that’s God’s covenant. You just focus on it a little bit, then a miracle comes out. It’s rightful.
Problem
It’s rightful, they hold onto the things they want, not the absolute things, and they throw away the things they don’t like. Then one day, they will surely and rightfully face a problem. You’re making a problem for yourself. Did someone say something about it? Why did a Levite have a concubine? That’s the beginning for why problems began. The concubine ended up running away as she was upset. She was raped on the way home and died, so the problems piled up. This was the standard of why this had no choice but to come upon this Levite. Then it leads to the necessary things, even though it doesn’t need to come, it will.
Necessary
Acts 17:6-9
Jason ends up in prison. This was necessary and that’s why he posted bond and was let go. You need to read the Bible and see your reality. If you share the gospel, there’s something that necessarily results. If you don’t hold onto only the gospel, a necessary problem will result. It’s not something anyone makes or something does for you, but a problem will necessarily come. In other words, it will be passed on necessarily to your children
Gen. 39:3-5
God fulfilled the covenant, and this was necessary.
Acts 1:3
If you have the rightful answer that Jesus is the Christ, then you’ll rightfully receive the mission of God’s kingdom. It’s rightful that Jesus is the Christ the solution to all problems, but if you don’t hold onto this, you’ll hold onto a different mission. Has anyone said anything to you? If you don’t have the correct things within you, you’ll live for that mission. Christ within you will lead to another mission. This is the time schedule. If you don’t hold onto this covenant and the rightful things, then just like the 12 disciples, you’ll live that kind of life. Even though they believed in Christ, they didn’t receive that answer, so it’s not that they didn’t believe in Jesus, but within this time schedule, there are a lot of people like that. Jesus is the Christ, the solution to all problems, if this is your answer, then it will lead to the mission of God’s Kingdom. It’s not studied but it necessarily comes. When the Lord becomes your Master, He will give you the order.
Acts 6:7
Because Jesus Christ is the answer, the word movement started to arise. If you give the Word of Jesus Christ to this person, of course it will spread, but relaying that Jesus Christ is the answer and just relaying Jesus Christ is different. That’s why, before Peter saw Jesus Christ face-to-face, he didn’t receive Him as an answer. He was just a recipient of the faith. You say, “Do you wanna try believing in Jesus?” It’s different than relaying the answer. Give the answer in your field. “Do you want to meet my pastor?” That’s great but that’s not the answer. When you meet them, you give the answer of Jesus Christ to them, then it will spread. Because He’s not your answer, you say, Jesus is the Christ, my Savior, but you wander in your problems, you can’t evangelize in your field, but for people who have this answer, wherever they go, it’s camp. Even in the market, it’s camp, they look to see who is the one to receive this answer. Even when they go out to play, they ask, “Who will receive this answer?” But if you don’t have this answer, it’s very vague, and it’s not that they don’t believe in Jesus, they believe and go to church so well, they do everything as a model student, but is Jesus Christ the answer to their lives? No, then they can’t relay it, and that’s why the evangelism movement does not take place. But if you receive this as your answer, you can relay it. When the Word of God spread, it means the gospel movement continued to spread. Is Christ the answer to your life? You yourself know this; if He is not your answer, then you can’t evangelize.
In Matthew 16:20, Jesus tells them to not tell anyone that He is the Christ. They need to proclaim the gospel but the Lord tells them not to. The word Jesus says is the truth, His words never change, but then evangelism never takes place because God doesn’t let you do it. When can you do it? When Christ is the answer, and you have the mission to relay this answer. Do you understand? Ask yourself, is Jesus Christ the answer to your life? If not, you can’t evangelize. If you can’t evangelize, it means you’re holding onto something else. You know yourself well, right? Is Christ really the answer to all your problems? Before Peter met the resurrected Jesus Christ, He did not come to this answer. For Peter, he’s kind of like a pastor, but he saw Jesus Christ face-to-face and even then, he didn’t come to the conclusion of Jesus Christ.
Acts 11:19
God worked so this word was proclaimed even to Gentiles. Not that we have to do Gentile-missions but God allows it. It’s not random, but it’s necessarily when it has to happen. When you come to the answer that Jesus is the Christ, the solution to all problems, that is when you’re able to do America evangelism. The reason was mentioned in the pulpit message. He has finished our past, present, and future, our past problem of sins and curses, our present problems of the ruler of the kingdom of the air where we are not liberated, but now we’re liberated. The future problem of being bound for hell and living in fear of death. We already have a seat next to Jesus Christ in heaven, so He is the solution to all problems. You need to receive this as your answer. More strongly, you have died on the cross with Jesus, so why is there a problem? Because you have not died, you don’t know the meaning of the cross and the problem, so you run away. Peter would live a resurrected life but he ran away. When you face a problem, you run away because you think the problem will lead to disaster; that’s evidence you haven’t received the answer of Jesus Christ. But it doesn’t matter, that’s what we’re trying to say.
Acts 16:6-10
As they were going on this journey, their path was blocked. In other words, they picked a path that God did not want for them, but for those who have the covenant, God necessarily directs us towards the right path. It’s necessary. If you hold onto the rightful things, it will lead to necessary guidance. Paul was born in Turkey and wanted to go to his hometown without much thought, why? Barnabas had been allowed to go home, and Paul thought he could as well, but God told him to go to Europe. He will surely be guided.
Acts 19:21
“After I have been there in Jerusalem, I must see Rome,” God gave the Word in advance, so if you pray, you can see the future, holding onto the covenant of world evangelization. The women who prophesized said, “You will be imprisoned if you go Rome, so don’t go.” If you prophesy without the actual covenant and pray, half of it is right but half is wrong. God had given Paul this covenant of Rome and world evangelization, but these women had the gift of being able to prophesy, but without the covenant. God necessazarily gives the covenant, so “I’m going to Jerusalem to be imprisoned.” Most people hearing that would run away. As he continued to think about this and pray about it, he realized that going to Jerusalem was actually God’s will. If he’s in prison, he’s able to go to Rome with soldiers to guard him. He received this answer in prayer, the same as Joseph. He went as a slave but realized this was an opportunity to share the gospel to Egypt so he continued to hold onto the covenant. Those who hold onto the accurate covenant will receive necessary guidance in every moment of their lives. Study and run your business like this.
Romans 16:25-27
The gospel is just the gospel, but what is “my gospel?” If Christ is within you and you receive this answer to your family problems, it becomes, “My gospel, my Christ.” That is why it leads to the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ. Listen very carefully, the message I proclaim about Jesus Christ, in keeping with the revelation of the mystery hidden for long ages past. Proclaiming about Jesus Christ is the mystery, that was the mystery hidden from long ages past, revealed in God’s time schedule. How? “Made known through the prophetic writings through the command of the eternal God.” There are prophetic writings in the Old Testament, but through these writings, that all gentiles may come to the faith. Through the prophetic writings, God reavels the gospel, why? Because all nations must hear this and receive salvation, and w’ere living in that kind of time schedule. Proclaiming this gospel has already been planned for long ages past, evangelism is not optional; it’s being revealed now. Proclaiming this gospel leads to God’s Word being fulfilled. Paul is being used for this work; Paul says, “Let’sdo this work together.” Paul, for all his life, did the work of raising the bartizan, raising churches and disciples in every region.
Only the gospel can establish you. Paul knew that in this age, he had to do the work of proclaiming the gospel to the ends of the earth. This must be placed within you as the absolute bartizan. Those without the absolute bartizan will think that it will or will not work; they can’t last long. Gospel evangelism is something that happens according to God’s time schedule, but you don’t know God’s plan or any of that, so you express it in that way and crumble on your own.
“To the only wise God, be glory forever through Jesus Christ, amen.” God has planned it, revealed it, and He is the One to be glorified forever. He was the One Who allowed us to understand the gsoepl so we stand in accordance. He has called us and guided us into this path. “To the only wise God be glory forever,” we eternally give glory to God. God will rightfully be glorified but we live a life that eternally glorifies God. Whether it’s long ages past, the present, or the future eternity, but what must I necessarily do now? I need to be used within that work of revealing God’s plan, and that is to go to all nations. You need to hold onto that in order for you to live your lives. You need to hold onto that as you pray and study otherwise nothing will work out.
Acts 1:8
This was the first time the Holy Spirit came upon people, but we believe in Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit comes upon us. This is talking about the Holy Spirit residing within you, but also, the Holy Spirit fills you. In the New Testament, this was the very first time this happened, the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles and this is how the Early Church started. To move with the church and to be within the church, you need to come within the answer of Christ. If you don’t come to the answer of Christ, you don’t go to the church and you haven’t come to the answer. If you come to this answer, you’ll surely hold onto this mission, and such people gathered together, so, anyone can come to church, but not really because if you see in the Bible, Mt. 16:17, “I will build my church upon this rock,” this confession of faith that Jesus is the Christ. Before this, it was the temple, but starting from here, the church began, and they’re the ones who have the mission. God gave the method, “When the Holy Spirit within you fully works upon you, not when the Holy Spirit is within you, remaining still, but when the Holy Spirit completely fills you, He takes hold of your thoughts and heart because they are in different directions, but when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, the Holy Spirit is God and is power. Then automatically you become witnesses until the ends of the earth. These are the necessary results of the rightful things. You first know about this through the bible verses, but then later on, this is fulfilled realistically, but it’s your life that goes along with God, if not, then the word just becomes knowledge. You haven’t come to the answer, but the power is not revealed in your life. You live disregarding the covenant of world evangelization, and instead, you are constantly struggling. It’s rightful. If Christ is necessary, you can see the absolute plan.
When the Israelites were captives to Babylon, it was rightful; they had lost hold of their formulation, but it’s a necessary thing to happen. There are so many disasters in America, but it’s necessary. In my field, is this evangelism movement rightfully and necessarily taking place? If not, then it’s necessary. If it’s not taken away, then it’s rightful and necessary. Constantly be rooted within the seven journeys.
