Bartizan of Light (Isaiah 60:1-2)
Because the Light has already come, arise and shine. The moment I accept Jesus Christ, that’s when the light has come
Intro
1.. Satan
1) Gen. 3:5 Deception
Gen. 6, 11
We continue to be deceived, so we’re afraid, and this fear is about the darkness that we were in before Christ. We have been liberated but we’re caught up in this.
Main
1. Bartizan of Light
1) Jesus – Christ, Gen. 3:15
In Gen. 3:15, Jesus strikes the devil’s heel, liberating us from sin and curses.
2) Eph. 2:1 Death – Sin (Past)
Christ died on the cross for our sins.
3) Eph. 2:2 Present (Culture)
4) Eph. 2:6-9 Throne (Future)
4) John 19:30
If you want to be the bartizan of light, this must come to you as light. For this to be your light, this answer of everything having been finished must come to you as your bartizan. This is very important. This is the start of becoming a bartizan of light.
How do you and I know and enjoy the gospel? Have all problems really been finished? Is the problem of depression that you have right now finished? The problems you think are problems, are they finished right now? They have to be finished for the light inside of you to shine. But if it’s not been finished, the light will not shine.
You have to solve problems rationally and think about it, why is that?
=/= Me
5) Gal. 2:20
You must enjoy this. What was a problem for you this past week, and in that moment, what did you do? That’s when it’s revealed. Whether it’s finished or not depends on the person. The fact that it’s finished means the problem is not a problem to me. It being a problem means it has not been finished. What do we have to do? We can only live by our past methods where we use our heads to solve problems.
We’ve been liberated from darkness but the darkness holds onto me, meaning I’ll continue to be deceived by the darkness. It’s not a simple matter. Is it a problem? If it’s a problem, then it hasn’t been finished for me, then why is it not a problem? You have to know this in order to enjoy the light. I’m not the standard but Christ is the standard. Hold to God’s time schedule and absolute sovereignty; everything must be centered on that.
At times, our pride may be hurt. What is the center of that pride? It’s me, so that’s why it has not been finished so it continues to be a problem. Are you facing economic problems? It’s not finished because you’re the master. God has a plan in your finances. You have to receive that answer.
It has to be finished. I used to live in darkness, in Satan’s grasp. Before you evangelize, you have to shine the light inside of you first. So, if you enjoy the gospel, the problem will not be a problem. But the problem is that you cannot enjoy the gospel. The problem is that I am my master, seeking the darkness. It must be finished with this. If there’s just one person in church like this, then the light will shine.
If it has not been finished, the person who has not finished it all in the gospel will be annoyed because the Word says “gospel” and they keep speaking about problems, the person will get annoyed, meaning their life is not started yet. The start of your life is when Jesus Christ becomes your Master and that is when the light will shine inside of you.
If you know the gospel vaguely, you’ll be afflicted. The complete gospel, the whole gospel, the complete end to your past, present, and future. Don’t just know it, but enjoy this within the problems you’ve encountered. But you haven’t enjoyed this so you receive humanistic things. What does humanism mean? You’re trying to do something about it but the darkness doesn’t flee. So, the darkness will continue to deceive you. You’ve been liberated from it, but you are continuously deceived.
If just one person were to enjoy the light in the family, the light would disperse all the darkness in the family. You don’t have to force your children to accept the gospel, but through an incident, the light will shine. Especially your stubborn children, through an incident, the light will shine through them, so you must enjoy it.
2. Platform
1) Triune God – Established
John 14:10, God the Father – God the Son
Holy Spirit (John 14:16)
With All Things
John 14:20
The Triune God is with me, and when we entrust all responsibility on Him, He will do His work. That’s what we must first do, to raise the platform within the bartizan of light. If this is not your platform, then despite receiving the gospel, and the walk of faith won’t happen. You have the blessing to shine the light, but you won’t shine the light. Because this doesn’t take place, you keep carrying out the actions of evangelism. You try to teach with your words, but if I enjoy this, it will just be shone. You have to enjoy it when a problem or incident occurs. You continue to enjoy it, but when a problem, incident, or circumstance occurs, shine the light.
=Edit
The difference between a person who writes the words and one who doesn’t, when it’s edited, it becomes imprinted in you. It doesn’t happen just by listening, but look for the Word and edit it. I’m helping you to search the scriptures. You cannot have the walk of faith if you just attend church and go back into the world, back and forth. Your walk of faith being like that means you are in this cycle, or that something fundamental is already established in you.
If this is established in you, just read the main scripture and receive something. It is not possible if Christ hasn’t finished everything for you. For those who haven’t had everything finished in Christ, it’s not been finished, so I hope you have faith, then all you have to do is listen. You have to edit the Word. We can’t just end it with listening but read the Word, look for it, edit it, and have it imprinted in you, then the Word will be fulfilled.
3. Watchtower
1) Gen. 1:27 = Life, With
Mankind was originally created with life, to be with the Triune God. Gen. 2:7, we’re given the breath of life, that is the Holy Spirit.
Gen. 2:7 Breath of Life – Holy Spirit
Gen. 2:1-18 Occupation, Family
2) Acts 1:1, 3, 8
This is what’s important. Christ has already finished everything, God’s Kingdom is guaranteed, and the Holy Spirit has to come upon us. That’s what prayer is. If you can’t enjoy prayer, you’re losing hold of everything. If you incorrectly know prayer, you’ve lost hold of everything. If you pray regarding the physical things, you lose hold of the heavenly things. Because you keep praying for physical things, you lose everything to religion, you’re a slave to Satan. When we pray for heavenly things, the physical things follow. From the beginning, we’re heavenly beings, we’re with the Triune God, then it’s the Triune God with me in my field. This is the watchtower
Light
3) Answer
This answer comes when God’s Kingdom is established in me. But people who don’t know this will think that they can receive answers through their diligence. That’s nonbelievers. It’s possible through God, but many people are like that, because I’m a child of God, because I believe in God, I maintain my diligence but that’s the level of a nonbeliever. Even if it’s just one minute a day, the remnants must confirm this. Hold to the covenant that has finished everything so that this blessing comes upon me. What’s easier, to live holding onto this and trying my best or for God to take control over me, to reign over me? God reigning over my thoughts and feelings, taking control over me, that’s salvation.
But how do we pray? We only pray when we’ve lost all our strength and we just think, “Should I pray now?” that’s religion. When the Early Church started, they enjoyed this, not with works they were doing, but the blessing of Acts 2 came upon them as they entered into the world. So, the Early Church could never be destroyed because God’s Word was upon them. But if the Early Church tried with their diligence and efforts, they would have been taken over. How should our remnants live? They should be taught to enjoy this, for God to reign over and take control.
Unprecedented and never-repeated
Your level is at the level of the world. What happens if the church speaks about things that are at the level of the world? Newcomers will say, “They smell like nonbelievers, why do they talk about things of the world like money?” They’ll come in thinking, “Is this Satan’s Kingdom or God’s Kingdom? Am I right or are you right?” You shouldn’t talk about this, you should talk about heavenly things. You have to talk about how a problem came to you but you received an answer through God’s Kingdom, but you keep talking about your own problems and situations.
If you don’t have God, it’s only natural. I worried 24/7, and nonbelievers have no choice but to worry. But someone who doesn’t worry lives their life in the stream. Look at a student who studies well, they always worry about and think about studying. People who live their lives righteously are always worried about their lives. Then, they’re always in a state of worrying with furrowed eyebrows. But it’s not too late. Don’t hold onto or long for the things of the past, but hold onto God’s Word.
Field
Why do we keep talking about the level of the world? Satan’s Kingdom hasn’t been broken down. You believe that you can be rewarded through your own diligence, and humanistically it’s a natural process, not anyone can do it, but the problem is that the darkness is not broken down. So, that’s the life lived backwards. We are not seeking that success. We are talking about the answer of success that follows the establishment of God’s Kingdom. That is why God’s method through the remnants is studies and prayer. It’s not a matter of whether they’re good or bad at studying but whether God’s kingdom is established.
Those students will have potential when they grow up. That was David. There was no competition about his shepherding skills but he did that at a young age. God’s Kingdom was established in his business and skill as a shepherd, he was able to fight against lions and bears; this isn’t something just anyone can do. It’s the same thing as attacking a lion, a bear, or even Goliath. He had a firm foundation from a young age. We need that remnant.
Everyone else can be left for their time schedule but we must raise the remnant so that everyone else can be supported. It would be great if many people were raised that way but that’s according to God’s time schedule, according to their particular case.
The Saturday evangelism schools are according to God’s plan. The parents’ eyes must first be opened to push them towards the correct things. It’s to the amount that the parent’s eyes are opened that the children will be pushed. It’s better for remnants to receive more answers than you. It’s not like you’re going to go places, but students, it’s easier and faster to invest in them. Don’t do Gen. 3, don’t put the direction on you, but place your investment on the remnants. Then they will continue to go to the amount you push them.
But if you continue to place investment on yourself, you’re old, so you can’t stand as a major league player, so you must raise up the student who can, whether it’s money or support, because once you put that investment, there’s an effect of evangelism. They will soon quickly do temple construction because that child has faith. I’m talking about a positive example, to change the direction from myself to the remnant. Then, God will do His work. But if your direction is not aligned, you’ll run in a different place.
Saturdays, come with eyes wide open. The age of the three day weekend has come, so open your eyes and come together. We’re not saying useless, nonsense things but God gives us His Word and carries it out, my life has to be within that, so when we listen to the Word, we have to listen more carefully to the announcements. The announcements are the actual timing where the Word is applied. People who don’t have a walk of faith will not listen to the announcements, they listen to the words and have to put it into practice.
For example, if we say, “Sedona,” this Word is being put into practice in Sedona. If we say Temple construction, those words are being put into practice there. But if the word comes to you and you’re only thinking about the heavenly things, it’s not finished. Pray so it’s fulfilled in heaven and on earth, this Word cannot just exist in your mind, but for the work to really take place in your life and your field.
4. Antenna
1) Communication
2) 3 Ages
Me (Restoration) Church (Field, Next Generation)
God has to move them. Once they receive the answer, they will save those people. Saving the age means you first save your past, present, and future. How do you save that? With the 9 blessings, when the answers come upon me, that’s when I’m saved. The person who is outside of church, focused on evangelism, will understand this very well. I got a call, one was a 3, 9, 3 prayer. Because this person was an assistant pastor, they were able to understand. I asked, “What is 237?” This person told me that, “3, 9, 3 is very compact and condensed but very powerful.”
How do you hear it? As something repeated over and over? But the person who is so desperate for evangelism, and for whom evangelism wasn’t working out, really enjoyed the thought of 3, 9, 3. Occasionally I sent a message and they enjoyed listening to that message. Every time I meet with them, they ask how to evangelize.
“I studied theology and my father is a pastor but I still can’t evangelize. Whatever I try to do, it doesn’t work out.” This person also had callings but it’s very difficult. Even they’d go to a big church but they feel like the congregation has a very starved or scarred state. There’s no reason for them to lie in front of me, so I just tell it how it is. So if you don’t know this blessing, yeah unfortunately it’s so pitiful if you don’t know this. These blessings continue to flow, so at first, you have to raise up the bartizan inside of you.
Just set aside 5 minutes, and when the Word is imprinted inside of you, it’s going to be carried out. At 2:30pm on Sundays, we look for the Word in Jesus and it’s finished. Deut. 6:4-9 says to write the word on your foreheads and wrists.
Prayer
Father God, we thank You. Please raise the bartizan of light within us first and work in us to give the answer. In the name of Jesus Christ we pray, amen.
