Take the Authority of the King, Prophet, and Priest to the Field (1 Peter 2:9)
Thank you very much. There are words of the Lord that people who have not received salvation can read, but there are words of the Lord that only those who have received salvation can see, such as the blood covenant, these are the words that those who have received salvation can understand. The final words of Jesus were the words that He gave to those who would fulfill world evangelization, and that’s why He said, “With all authority in heaven and on earth, I will surely be with you,” because we need that. “I will be with you with the authority of the throne. Pray in My name. I will be with you with the authority of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.”
Then a very important turning point comes. The Word was fulfilled in Mark’s upper room, and there, fifteen nations had gathered. The ones who were prepared, the ones who were pre-arranged by God, and then the fundamental turning point, we see the beginning of the church at Antioch, the ones who were scattered. Later on, with Paul’s team, they go and reach Rome, and I say that they are the hidden cards. And honestly, all those three things are the hidden cards. Missions is a tremendous mystery and it is a tremendous work. Now, all the things I just mentioned were the messages of the World Missions Convention this year, but how can I take this with me? We have to hold onto the final covenant. Most importantly, we must be able to deliver and relay the gospel accurately, we have to relay the accurate Jesus Christ. Without that, we’ll be in big trouble.
Who is Jesus Christ? We have to relay Him, testify Him. He is the True King Who has completely destroyed the authority of Satan. We cannot avoid disasters, but He is the True Priest Who can block all disasters. We cannot receive salvation on our own, and that is why He is the True Prophet who leads us to meet God. Through these three offices together, we call, “Christ,” and telling people about this, this is the gospel. If we cannot speak of this, we’re useless. That’s why Christ gave us this responsibility and this work, and then what? He gave this responsibility to all the missionaries. That’s why we are the ambassadors of Christ.
There was a time when our country was in such poverty, and there was a time when our country was just like the 5000 tribes. There was a time when we didn’t have shoes, so we made shoes out of husk. There was a time when we didn’t have cars in this nation, so we had to use horses or cows to pull wagons, and I grew up seeing things like that. At that time, we had all these powerful nations surrounding us, constantly attacking us, telling us to do things, from China, from Japan, from Russia, and then they did whatever they wanted with our country. When our nation was at its most pitiful state, that’s when missionaries came in, and the missionaries came and did two things. They shared the gospel. Another? Then, seeing that our pitiful country was being attacked by all these nations, they started to let others know of this. As they came and visited Korea and returned back home, they said something, all one commonality, “South Korea is a nation to do world evangelization.” And they all had said the same thing. Whether they were missionaries who ended their lives here or went back to their own home country, they said, “South Korea is a nation to fulfill world evangelization,” so He has called us as ambassadors of Christ.
However, if you have been sent as an ambassador of Christ, what must you do? Today, Christ has given you the answer. Because Christ came as the Light, we must testify of this Light. He said, very importantly, we have to proclaim this Light, which means to share it or relay it. This is something you must grab firm hold of and then return. And because there are so many people who are perishing in darkness, we must proclaim and testify of this light.
He said, “Ezekiel, can these bones come back to life?” Ezekiel responded very well. He didn’t say, “Yes, they can,” and he didn’t reply saying, “No, they can’t.” He said, “Lord God, You can do it.” It’s at that time that God had said, He didn’t say, “Go and share the Word,” He didn’t just say, “Go breathe life into it.” He said to prophesy the Word, prophesy the Word from the breath of life. We don’t have the authority, the power, to share the Light, to share the Words of God and draw the breath of life into people, but there’s no reason for us to be discouraged. He said to go and prophecy in the name of Jesus Christ. Go and prophesy, testify. Have conviction of this. You don’t have to go and catch cows or sacrifice. “Go in my name, there is no reason to sacrifice a lamb; go in my name. You don’t have to go and give sacrifices, you can just go in my name now.” And that’s why we’re able to proclaim the Light of Jesus Christ in His name, but we have to know the reasons first.
People are unaware of this, people do not know this because it’s only taught in the Bible. They are completely seized by the twelve strategies of Satan. There’s no way to come out of this. So many churches have been seized by Satan, stuck in the twelve strategies of Satan. It was to the point that, to those who thought they lived great lives of faith, Jesus said, “There are strongholds within you of darkness.” Isn’t that alarming? To the point that He said, “You are following the footsteps of the ruler of the kingdom of the air,” and these are the words He said to believers, “Your father, the devil.” More than believing in the Lord God, they believed in the ruler of the prince of the air. It was to the point where they had a meal at Cornelius’ house, and the people were asking, “Why did you go eat with him?” That was the church. “Yes, of course, if you received salvation, you still have to keep the laws of the Jews,” these were the words Peter said to Paul.
Why did he do that? Churches are not following the atmosphere, but the atmosphere is already set that way. We must be careful of this. Churches must not follow public opinions, but the public opinions are already set this way. So, we see when they ask why they went to Cornelius’ house to eat, Peter said something very loudly, “Didn’t Christ say to go to all nations? And with the authority of the heavens and the earth, didn’t He say He will surely be with us?” So, even though we possess everything, we are oppressed spiritually because of darkness, and I’m sure in the future, it will develop even more. They have everything, they possess everything except spiritual power. Spiritual powerlessness. That’s why there are spiritual problems that nobody can solve on their own.
Go and proclaim the Light upon those places. It is not with your power, but go and proclaim and testify to the name of Jesus Christ. This is not the power of the missionaries, but may you go proclaim the authority in the name of Jesus Christ. There is no other name that was ever given for us to be saved. So, “Christ,” this is not your average word. We have to understand what “Christ” is, in order to relay Who Christ is. If you know Christ, darkness will flee, isn’t that so? So I knew President Lee Jae Myung in the past, but President Lee Jae Myung doesn’t know me, because I’ve never met him personally; there’s never been a time when I had a connection with him, but that’s not what it means to “know” someone. If you know each other and you share a conversation, you’re able to help each other. That’s what it means to know someone. The fact that you have come to the conclusion of Jesus Christ, Satan knows that fact, but he also knows the fact that you have not come to the conclusion of Jesus Christ as well. God knows even far better. That’s why we must testify of this and proclaim it. What is this? The whole world has become like a mental hospital, and the whole world has turned into a battlefield, it’s completely seized by darkness. In the end times, Jesus prophesied Himself, the accurate result and the answer is only shown in the Bible.
That’s what we see in John 1, that Christ has come as the Light, so we must go and proclaim this Light. Go and prophesy this Light, and darkness will crumble. You cannot see in darkness; it’s dark, and no matter how much you want to get rid of darkness, you cannot. It’s not something you can be diligent and work hard for. But darkness flees the moment that Light is shone. Spiritually, darkness completely flees the moment the Light of Jesus Christ is shown. With this, you must return home. He is the King, Priest, and Prophet, and on your way, the forces of darkness and Satan will be completely bound. Because you’re the ambassadors, all disasters will be blocked and the authority of hell will be completely seized. I’m sure of this, so go and relay this light.
If that is so, let’s go to the main point. To whom is this delivered? First of all, shine this Light inside of the darkness that’s inside of me. I always pray the most for the 7, 7, 7 prayer to come upon me. But what does that mean, for “it to come upon me” or “within me”? Genesis 1:3, the Light of Creation. The moment you accepted Jesus Christ, it was by the Light of Creation. Some person was being afflicted with all sorts of mental afflictions, and the moment they accepted Jesus Christ, it all ended. A person like that probably hasn’t been afflicted for all that long, but people who had been afflicted for a long time, they’re not able to accept Christ on their own so it does not come to an end, so honestly speaking, they’re not able to accept Christ on their own, and that’s why the Light of Creation must come upon me.
Isaiah 60:1 says, the Light of restoration comes. Who is Christ? He is the One Who comes to me with the Light of Creation. Christ came as the Light Who completely restores me. In Matthew 5, it says that this is our identity and He has restored us through that Light. He didn’t say, “Go and become the light,” He said, “You are the light of this world.” You must believe in this, and when you believe all the forces of darkness will tremble. If you do not believe in this fact, darkness will not flee from you. So, you are the Light.
So, remnants, you have to think to yourselves, “I want to be the light of this world,” and knowing that God has called you as the light, you can just pray quietly at school. Then, people who want to receive salvation will come to you. Then, if not, go to a very famous shaman or fortune-teller who has been demon-possessed. The moment they see you, they will know, because this is how fearsome this light is. You heard about this so much, you’re just unaware of this, but people who have been afflicted for such a long time, when they hear or see this light, they’re completely freed. So, we see that those in the tribal areas, they’re afflicted spiritually, but when they hear the name of Christ, they’re completely changed. 1 Peter 2:9, it is the light of authority. So now, with the light of authority from the heavens above, we have to go back to our home countries, but first, it has to come upon me.
Number 2, now go and proclaim this light to the world. What kind of world are we talking about? Go and proclaim this to those who are diseased by the Nephilim illnesses. So, we see Paul go and proclaim, “In the name of Jesus Christ, get out!” and all the forces of darkness flee. Peter proclaimed, “Silver and gold I do not have, but in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” Pray these important prayers, then absolutely, answers will come to you, but the problem is, we don’t believe in this. “In the name of the Lord.” We see this in John 17:11-12.
We see this continuously taking place, even in the Three Organizations. The illnesses of the Three Organizations is not the Three Organizations’ fault, it actually originated from Genesis 3. It’s not even the fault of the United States, because it’s originally from Genesis 6 and Genesis 11. That has continued today, even today. It’s at those places that we will shine the light of Christ to the world. It’s not even just that. Because of idolatry, we see the 5000 tribes are covered in darkness. I don’t know about these days, but when I visited Taiwan, every single house had a shrine of idolatry. Those who are living in Taiwan, go and check. At the time I gathered about ten students and I asked them, “Who has problems going to sleep, or with nightmares or scissor lock and are spiritually afflicted?” and about eight or nine of them raised their hands. You don’t even have to speak about the 5000 tribes. It’s truly severe. It’s not with anything else; you must proclaim the light of Jesus Christ. Not just share it; you have to proclaim it. It’s very simple. “In the name of Jesus Christ.”
Additionally, we must share this Light to all the world, to the next generation, and that’s why we must raise up the Three Courtyards. When the Three Courtyards are fulfilled, a highway will be made. That’s when you must quickly raise up the Age of the Three Day Weekend and change the things that have been imprinted again. We can’t just do this, we don’t even know how to pray, we have to quickly change this for them. They cannot evangelize; we must change this. 70% of Korean churches are co-dependent, they’re not able to evangelize. The churches in America are closing down, and they’re filled with darkness. We must change this. The Age of the Three Day Weekend. All you have to do is change the imprint, roots. Can we really restore and heal cancer? Yes, we can, if the imprints are changed. Can we really heal mental oppression? Yes, if the imprints are changed. That’s why we have to quickly open up the Age of the Three Day Weekend and really change our children.
I met several dozens of believers in the Incheon area who are visiting us today. I said, “Don’t look around and walk on eggshells, looking at the church, really raise up the age of the Three Day Weekend and help the children and the next generation.” Our posterity must be able to survive no matter where they are, it is the age of the Holy Meditation. These Three Courtyards, it is a time when we can really shine this light. So, people under darkness are seized by Satan, so nothing can happen to them, and no matter how that nation might be developed, there is no way for them to avoid disasters. We don’t even have to speak about the underdeveloped nations. The problem is, it’s the background that they had.
Proclaim the Light. Go and prophesy the Light of Jesus Christ.
Let’s come to the conclusion. In the future, we’ll have more of this “remote working,” and it’s pretty much a remote working system. Then, a time and age of delivery that takes place offline, without any kind of contact. I’m sure this will continue to advance, and then we will always have a time of finances done without contact. What’s going to happen then? Spiritual problems will become even more severe, we can’t even imagine how bad it’s going to be. There’s no way to know how jobs will change and what’s going to disappear. That’s why our missionaries as well as all of our remnants, you have to pray the prayer of 7, 7, 7 every single day, then something tremendous will arise. So, go and relay the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne. This is relaying the light, because the Light is Christ. Always accept the bartizan, journey, and guidepost of Christ, and then relay it to others. We go and find the seven points with this.
And then what else? Without any conditions, you have to form the 300%, especially the remnants. Our young adults and church officers, you’re very busy, so no matter what you do, you have to do 300%, and without 300% being prepared, you must not start anything. One foreigner came to our country to work as a hard laborer, and I asked, “How much are you making?” At the time, he was making maybe $700/month, and without spending that money, he would save it and return it to his home country, but this individual heard the gospel. After receiving the gospel, change started to happen, he started to change all the ways he was thinking. Then, he enrolled in RTS, why? Because he finally realized this gospel. He prayed so earnestly and so diligently that he speaks Korean better than me, and tremendous fruits of evangelism started to arise. Because he was from a Muslim country, they tried to take him away, but he was not afraid at all. One day, he contacted me, “Pastor, do not worry about me, I’m fine. If I die, that’s okay. Bangladesh needs Jesus Christ.” I was so amazed, and so many people like him, disciples, are arising. I quietly think to myself, he was in such severe conditions, and yet, he’s able to enjoy all of this. There are so many people who possess everything and they’re still not able to do this, but he had nothing, and yet, he possessed all this. That’s what we call, 300%. That person while in Korea prepared 300% before he left. When he went back to his home country, works were bound to arise.
May you imprint the authority of the heavens and the earth inside of you. May you imprint the authority of the heavens inside your lives. This is number one. Then, imprint the authority of Jesus Christ and the guidepost of the heavens inside of your future. So many great works of the Lord that we’re so thankful for have arisen this year. Many fruits were borne because of the prayers and offerings of our church members, as well as church officers of other churches. We see there is a double, triple-fold increase in flight costs because of the war, and yet, an even larger number of committed workers have participated in this year’s conference. Looking at all the works God is fulfilling, I’m just so thankful and I give all glory to God. Missionaries, when you return back home, may you become the absolute bartizan to save your nations, then you will be able to embark along that absolute journey, and even if you come back here, the absolute guidepost will continue to be raised. Let us pray.
Prayer
God, we give You thanks. May we be able to enjoy the things You have already given to us. May You restore the things of Christ Jesus to restore and revive this world. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray, amen.
