Life of the Evangelist – Eternity
What does my work and business and studies have to do with eternity? The main issue is how everything is connected to eternity and eternal life.
Only Christ
Evangelism is saving lives with the one who has the mystery of only Christ. Not just Christ, but only Christ, Christ every day. Only when you know the meaning of this, can you go into the life of the Evangelist. What has Christ finished? Because we don’t know, we cannot start in Christ. The Bible says it is finished but we don’t believe that; we spend the rest of our lives asking God to solve our problems.
Of course, if there’s a problem, it must be solved, but this is how unbelievers think. It is finished. This is the beginning, and when you have this answer, you can give this answer to others, but you misunderstand. We’re not talking about how to solve depression.
Sin, Satan, Hell – World
The problem is that you’re in a state of sin, in disobedience to God, and under the authority of Satan, and people are living separated from God. When we talk about sharing the gospel, most people only talk about depression instead. Even doctors talk about depression, but we have to talk about the spiritual state. We talk about mental illness because there is a root in sin, not just mental illness itself. We’re talking about the spiritual problems unseen to our eyes, not just the physical problems, but that’s why it’s hard to understand the gospel.
As evidence of this, if you’re a witness, you will share and preach the gospel. You know this in your head, you’ve trained your thoughts, but the moment you step out into the field, you mess up. Because we cannot see this, we don’t believe it. In reality, we can see illnesses like mental illness and talk about them easily, but these spiritual problems are real. With mind control and meditation, all of those can heal our minds but the problem of sin cannot be solved. As long as this state is misaligned, you will constantly receive problems, that’s why it’s only Christ.
When people believe in Jesus for the first time, they know; but before that, they don’t know. So instead, they hold onto legalism and mysticism and prayers, and because the pastors are like that, the church members follow after that. You must explain their spiritual state. You talk about your family problems in the context of their spiritual state. We’re not threatening families saying, “If you don’t believe in Jesus, you’ll end up just like your father,” but most people say that. We talk about the family line to describe sin, Satan, and hell. Without talking about these things, you cannot talk about Christ.
Instead, people talk about Christ who solves their mental or physical illnesses, so nothing changes. “If you believe in Jesus, you’ll live well; come to church!” You only strengthen self-centeredness without knowing what Satan, sin, and hell are. For that reason, people come to America. Without understanding sin, Satan, and hell, people have no choice to preach about self-centeredness. “Why am I like this? I give the message every Sunday.” Even pastors are completely captivated by physical things. Those who think they are better than others will fight even more. Pastors get jealous of other pastor’s churches because they’re captivated by success.
If you have no rent money, go out and proclaim the gospel. Go see if God will keep you homeless or if He will provide. Don’t pray about not becoming homeless, but leave it to the Lord. People constantly pray with these three things, they cannot let go of themselves so they constantly live in fear. But if you say that people’s lives will get better, you’re relaying an inaccurate gospel and you will be cursed. Because they are centered on physical blessings, they cannot see sin, Satan, and hell. This is what God is saying, but we can’t see it; we only see me, physical things, and success, so that’s all we talk about, and that’s why people continue to be broken down.
The Three Organizations are so powerful, the New Age makes you go into the stream of self-centeredness. Until the accurate gospel is proclaimed, this will continue and people will fail. How can you say that’s okay? They’re imprinted with these incorrect things. People say that their children are doing fine, but actually, Satan is attacking those kids all the more because the parents don’t know the importance of the spiritual state. That’s why you need the accurate gospel. People are saying, “We’re content with the physical things,” but one day, Satan will come.
The Bible doesn’t say that Satan will run away when you come to church and worship, but that’s why slowly the churches are disappearing. Just because you say you believe in the gospel doesn’t mean you actually believe it. The problem is faith, and the Word of God is not the problem, but the person is the problem being lost in self-centeredness, materialism, and success-oriented lives. Their blood is on your hands if you do not proclaim the gospel to them.
If you don’t have confidence, just take out the Way of Salvation and continuously talk about sin, Satan, and hell. If you say, “You have this family problem, right? It’s because you don’t have Jesus.” This is what Buddhism teaches, that the reason for your depression is your greed in your life, so you need to throw that away. But they don’t talk about these spiritual things, but they talk about other things and threaten others, “You’ll end up the same way.” They all live in fear, “Yes, Jesus,” but there is no gospel within this. Only when the gospel is accurately proclaimed will the works begin to start.
Kingdom of God, Word, Angels, Mission
God works through the Word, so if the Word doesn’t come upon you, you don’t have only Christ; you have a mixed Christ, so we don’t know what’s gone into you. But if you receive the words, then even angels will be sent to minister to you, and the Kingdom of God is established with the mission that God has given through the Word. Without the mission, you’re like a nonbeliever.
Only the Holy Spirit
When you proclaim the gospel, it must be done with only the Holy Spirit. The Triune God is working, so we must pray with the Triune God. First seek His Kingdom and His righteousness. You’re holding onto other things; you pray diligently but you are inferior to unbelievers. If you’re constantly praying for blessings, you won’t be at the level of unbelievers. Go ahead and pray for your kids, but they won’t be able to reach the level of a unbeliever, so they live their lives uselessly in religious living. Only when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will change others, so we pray.
Those who do not know about prayer are arrogant because they believe they don’t need prayer, but they just have their own power. God is the one who destroys the arrogant; but how can you be humble? Only when you know the Triune God can you be humble. When you pray for physical things, that is the prayers of a religious person. The ones who know this accurate prayer are the humble ones.
Power
What happens when you receive the power of God? The power of God is much more powerful than people, and God’s ignorance is far better than the wisdom of man. When I have the power of God within me, no matter how lacking or dumb I am, I have God’s power. Without this, you cannot save others. The ones who are successful are the ones who change the ways of the world and wage wars, but this is the success that comes without knowing God.
Heavenly Mandate
When you see only Christ, you will see your heavenly mandate. Just look at your family and see the fundamental problems. If you don’t know the spiritual state, you will interpret your parent’s problems as their habits or nature. Your parents are not able to come out of their spiritual state; they go to church but live their lives separated from God. Just like Judas Iscariot who was completely captivated by Satan, my parents are like that, and that is why my family experiences the suffering of the background of hell, so that’s why it is only possible through Jesus Christ. It is not my parents’ fault, it is that they do not know Christ. My heavenly mandate and mission is to save my parents, and that’s when you will save your family. If not, you will constantly complain, mumbling under your breath.
Mission
Rightful, Necessary, Absolute
There is no such thing as a coincidence, but unbelievers talk about coincidences. They say things like, “I met this person by chance,” and even evolution theory is like that, by chance, monkeys became humans. We need to find God’s absolute plan. Why is my life that way? It’s rightful and necessary, so I must look for God’s plan. Because you have a mixed gospel, what’s rightful has come. Are you like a Jewish person? Our kids follow after the world because they have worldly values imprinted in them, so don’t say anything else. What is God’s absolute plan?
One Heart, Whole Heart, Continuation
This is rightful, right? You don’t need two hearts; just go in with one heart because it’s only Christ and you have your mission. Jesus put His whole heart until the very end, continuation. Some people cannot stay until the end. Oak trees need to be planted for five years to take root, but people try to raise up trees without ensuring there are roots. They’re looking for visible results without cultivating the roots, so you have to give them strength. God will work to the point where unbelievers can confess. God will work where unbelievers will shut their mouths.
Only, uniqueness, and recreation
Confessing only Christ, you have your uniqueness that is useful. Why do people get kicked out? They are not needed. Why do businesses fail? Because customers do not need your products. Christ is “only.” If I have Christ in me, I have the work of uniqueness coming out of me. If you’re following a trendy product, then you will fail. Recreation. You’re doing your business that will cause recreation. Uniqueness must come. If your product is not needed, they won’t even look at it. If people need that shop, then they will go. If they see your shop the same as others, why would they visit yours? Being in the answer of only Christ, God gives us the answer of uniqueness, the answer that others cannot follow. “I’m following this person,” that’s not uniqueness, and we would die following that.
24 Hours, 25 Hours, Eternity
“I have no time,” but God is with you, working 24 hours. Those who don’t have this, they will sleep or play or do useless things, then they say they have no time. That’s the common characteristic of a failure. 25 hours, when God is with me, I can do the work of 25 hours. Many people party for 25 hours, in a world that only seeks personal benefit. But with this answer, I can overcome all things. Poverty, fire, being criticized by others, I will have the answer when other people are trembling as they walk. When you have 24 hours in Christ, you will have 25 hours from the heavens above.
Eternity is eternal, like your spirit is eternal. Inside my temporary life, these answers come. God does not look at you and see how much money you have, but God looks at you and asks, “What have you done for Me? I have never received any prayers from you. I prepared everything for you, but you missed out on all the blessings.” Have you prayed for lost souls? You haven’t, but you will still go to heaven, but your children will live a humiliating life. God does not desire that for us. God desires for you to be the one used by Him as an ambassador of Christ, and that is the evangelist’s present.
Even when you go into heaven, God will not know who you are. You only work for yourself, because you don’t have the answer of Christ, but you only talk for your own benefit. You constantly live your life, complaining about it. Then when you go to heaven, you’ll see that your children are living in the same way. You have to live the life of an evangelist for the life movement. We don’t live for worldly things, but we live for lost souls. When you lose hold of the mission to save lives, you will fail, you’ll evangelize for your own name. It’s not wrong, but God will say, “I don’t know you.”
Even Jesus says in the Bible, “You may have cast out demons, but I don’t know who you are.” Our life must be a gift from the heavens above, so that’s why we’ve come here to this earth. What’s the Bible say? Even though you are blessed on earth, your blessings in heaven will be even greater. This is what makes your life meaningful. We live our lives for eternal things above. People may not know, but God knows our motives. What am I doing with my life? I am an eternal being, so I must live for what is eternal.
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20
Daniel 12:3
Answers that come are unknown to us, but we work towards what is eternal. We’re just doing church construction and implementing our prayers and physical blessings and heart and devotion towards what is eternal. So, let’s say a building became a bookstore, what does that have to do with eternity? Some people invest in bookstores, but what does that have to do with eternity? It’s a building, but church construction will be used for what is eternal, so I must put everything into this, and that’s what is eternal. It’s not just about God saying we did a good job, that’s religious talk, “You’ve done this much so God will reward you accordingly,” but the reason why we go into church construction is that it is working towards eternity, so that blessing will flow down to the children.
What does my work and business and studies have to do with eternity? The main issue is how everything is connected to eternity and eternal life. 24 hours, 25 hours, eternity.
Matthew 10:40-42
God says, “If anyone gives a cup of cold water to the little ones, they will not lose their reward,” because that is connected to what is eternal.
Mark 10:29-30
To throw away yourself means that you’re not working for your own benefit, but you are working for the gospel. Without thinking that, you cannot proclaim the gospel. When you choose love, where are you going to place that love? Are you going to use your love or God’s love? Those who cannot study are always complaining. Complaints rule their lives, so they make excuses. Even when they die, they’ll make excuses, “Why am I dying? I was born into the wrong life,” but for the gospel, cast everything else aside, then you will constantly receive strength.
Evangelists are like this. If you’re living a life irrelevant of the gospel, then even when problems come to you, God will just let you be. Read Malachi very carefully, it says, “Do not steal from God, because it belongs to God,” and what else does it say? “There will be disasters in the field, but God will protect you.” For the ones drunk in their own self-centeredness, there will be locusts and hurricanes and God will just let that be.
Why are we talking about Malachi 3:10? The prophets aren’t giving worship. For 400 years, worship ended. If the people in the church gave their tithes, then the prophets could work, so that’s how the Word of God is going to be upon the Israelites and the curses will be broken down. Without that, they became colonized under Rome. Don’t worry about your age or languages, but the Holy Spirit will work. Don’t make excuses, but “I’m going to set my life on missions and church construction before I die.” If you don’t set your heart, then your heart will constantly go into curses and disasters.
Isaiah 40:8
The Word Movement. Do not brag about your useless knowledge; your knowledge is unhelpful. In your regional churches, don’t talk about useless things. Word Movement. Do not persuade, but give the spiritual message, then the Word of God will continue to go. It is eternal, so it will continue to go on.
Prayer
May our lives be used for the life movement. In Jesus Christ’s name we pray, amen.
