January 15th 2012 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Luke 18:1-8

The prayer that you offer day and night is a completely different prayer.

Adam and Eve gradually became distant from God because they didn’t pray and ultimately, Satan invaded them and they fell. As a result, God’s history was shattered. In each time period, the times when the history prospered were times when both the person whom God and Jesus sent and the people who had been waiting prayed a lot. Those who don’t know about the history of the time period that God and Jesus carry out and who don’t know about the man-of-mission of the time period cannot pray. Therefore, those who know should pray.
Prayer is the fundamental element that is absolutely necessary for carrying out the mission of God and the Lord. Prayer is conversation with God, conversation with Jesus, and conversation with the Holy Spirit. You have to converse with Them. Then you can receive the mentality, thoughts, and the Word of the Lord, receive a mission, become united with the Lord in shimjeong, and preach as His body. Also, ‘prayer’ makes God and the Lord execute Their work and enables the Will to be fulfilled.

When you are at ease, you cannot pray a deep prayer. You can only pray deeply when your heart is anxious about something. We need to offer really deep prayers about the grievances that Providence has and about the injustice that our Providence is going through. Through prayer, we should resolve our grievances, and through prayer, we should, at this time, transform more and transform perfectly in the spirit so that we will receive the Lord.

Our heart is like ‘the path of the heart’ that Jesus, our Bridegroom, and we, His brides, use all the time. It’s a path that we use every day so we should use it after paving it. How can we just use it as it is? The key is ‘paving the path, polishing the heart.’ Everyone should polish their own heart with the Word of the time period. Those who live without polishing their heart will suffer like a person stumbling over a rock all the time throughout their life, and they will have to live as if they have no benefit from transportation. The Lord also won’t be able to travel on that path of the heart. People won’t be able to travel on that path of the heart either.

If you pray, the Lord will show you what you need to do. As a result, you will believe and take action, and thus your wishes will come true. You need to pray in order for you to do what you are supposed to do, and you need to pray in order for God and Jesus to take action. If you pray, God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus will change the situation and circumstances so that you will not suffer injustice.

If you pray, each of you will discover what you are supposed to do. If you pray, God and the Lord will do what They need to do. You need to pray first and then take action. If you pray while taking action, then things will not work out properly. All of you should pray for one purpose in one heart. I prayed and that’s why I have fulfilled thousand of things until now.
When I was dispatched to the Vietnam War, my mother would set a prayer condition by going to church at the predawn every day whether it rained or snowed. She would pray that I would not die but return alive without even one of my hairs being hurt. Thanks to the prayers of my mother and siblings, I came back alive without any abrasions and without any injuries even after fighting in the most dangerous war zone for three years. I experienced more than thirty deadly crises, situations where I really could have died, but I returned alive.

In this way, prayer makes God and Jesus move. When we pray, God and Jesus get involved personally. Therefore, we must pray.

The present time is also a time of war, the Armageddon War of faith. It is a war against satans. In the end, we will defeat all of the satans. God was with David to the end and led him to victory. In the same way, in this time period, God is with us and He is giving us victories. If we fight to the end we will win. Satans are no match for us.
