February 5th 2012 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Matthew 5:48, Matthew 24:44-45, 1 Peter 5:6-8

It doesn’t cost you money to equip yourself and it doesn’t require you to have a good environment either. The things you must be equipped with are the things that you can simply do as long as you want to do it because you have built everyday habits.

I will tell you the rest of the things that you need to be lastly equipped with, how necessary it is to equip yourself, and how easy it is to equip yourself through parables.
- This is the first parable. You are like a broken car that is almost fully repaired except for a few parts. Until those parts are repaired the car cannot run, and it will actually cause the car’s problem to become worse. In this way, you must do these easy things in order for you to be equipped with the things that you should be equipped with and thus receive the Lord.
- The second parable. You can go outside only when you are fully dressed, but you have not put on a couple of items yet and you have not put on shoes yet. You must wear the remaining items of clothing and you must wear the shoes as well. We must quickly wear the clothes of action and put on the shoes of the gospel. In this way, you definitely have to complete these easy tasks in order to be fully equipped so that you will receive the Lord.
- The third parable. You have scrubbed dirt off your skin and have almost cleaned your entire body except for one leg. If you don’t wash that leg, you won’t look completely washed. If you are going to wash yourself, you should wash yourself completely. Do things completely.

In order to receive the Lord, we must resolve the following three issues, and equip ourselves.
-The first thing we need to resolve is ‘the issue of repentance.’ Dirt on our body is ‘sin.’ Scrubbing is ‘repentance.’ Just as scrubbing dirt off is easy, repentance is really easy. You just need to feel true remorse for your wrongs and pray. This is cleansing yourself every day.

-The second issue to resolve is ‘the issue of your love with the Lord.’ If you have loved the Lord 90% or 95%, you must fill it up to 100%. You need to raise your level of love. If you do not make your love 100% full, your love cannot be perfect, and therefore you won’t be able to receive the Lord who is perfect. If you give 5%, 10%, or 20% of your love to something else, you cannot succeed in love.

-The third thing that you must resolve in order to receive the Lord is to know ‘the Word of the time period’ correctly, to know ‘the man-of-mission of the time period’ properly, and to become united with the Lord through him. You have to be united with the Lord with thanksgiving, love, and truth. As for those who don’t have conviction about the history of the time period because they, like mentally-ill people, are shaken by the words of those who left and died, they have to completely fix their mind and mentality like fixing a broken car. You must be found to be clean even when the Lord looks into every corner of your heart with His eyes that are like flames.

These are the things that you must do. None of them are difficult. You just need to do them. You just need to put in the effort.

This year is a year when we must complete ourselves. It means that, in this year, you must perfect yourself by managing yourself perfectly. Only then will your spirit be able to receive the Lord and be raptured.

February 1st 2012 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures:
Song of Songs 6:4-13 (Key verse – 10)

In this story from the scriptures, the woman who was waiting for her beloved but missed the
opportunity refers to those who failed to receive the time of the Heavens. It means that those who
missed the time that the Lord gave to the time period are all like this woman.

In Song of Songs 6:4-13, it says that the man found another woman. He found a woman who
appeared like the dawn and who was as fair as the moon, bright as the sun, and majestic as the
stars in procession. The man said to that woman, “Come to me!” The woman’s heart, thoughts,
personality, and actions were as fast as light, she was as beautiful as the moon, and she was as
bold as a soldier. So the man received that woman.

In this way, if you miss the opportunity, you fail, and if you aggressively take action when the
opportunity comes and receive the opportunity, you succeed. The key is prayer and action. You
need to be ready to catch opportunity. You have to always think, ‘How will it come? Where will
it come from? Will it come from the east? Will it come from the west? Or will it come from the
south?’ and you should look in all directions.

Opportunity doesn’t come exactly as you expect. You have to be sure to keep in mind that
opportunity can come in a way that is different from what you imagined. Opportunity comes
according to time and seasons. So along with the opportunity, rain may come or snow may fall.
So in order to not miss the opportunity, you have to also make a determination. Opportunity
may come accompanied by suffering, tribulation, and persecution, or it may come when you are
having a hard time, feeling discouraged and wanting to give up.

When you wait for an opportunity, you need to wait for it as if you are waiting for your lover.
When you wait for a lover, you would endure even though you are sleepy or hungry, wouldn’t
you? Since your opportunity comes like your lover whom you love most, you must not be
distracted and look elsewhere. Also, you must not give up along the way but wait until the end.

An opportunity will surely come to the one who has been investing, putting in the effort, and
waiting to receive the opportunity. The opportunity will come having its heart set on the one who
prepares and waits like this as its lover. The opportunity that is destined for you will not go to
another person.

Even though it is difficult, hard, and painful to live putting the Lord’s words to action in the
present, now is the best, the most opportune time compared to the ages that are to come. As time
goes on, the generation will gradually become more treacherous. No matter what the people of
the former faith say, and no matter what all of mankind says, God and Jesus will carry out the
history of the physical rapture prior to the Lord’s Advent in spirit on earth through Providence.

Apostle Paul was imprisoned unjustly for the sake of the gospel. But he said to himself that the
period of imprisonment was the best opportunity to preach the Word to people. He held a pen

and kept writing letters to the church members, and thus managed them with earnest shimjeong.

‘Glory’ comes in splendor, but ‘the opportunity’ comes through a rainstorm like a thief, in
shabby appearance, to those who are unaware. You will be able to grab it if you are proactive
and run after the opportunity, but if you think, ponder, and move sluggishly while being self-
centered, you will not be able to seize the opportunity. Instead, you will get into a conflict of
ignorance. If opportunities came in a glorious and glamorous way, then practically everyone
would receive them in their life. But in reality, opportunities come in a way that seems like a
coincidence, they come at times through slanderers, or through evildoers as well.

My philosophy is ‘Substance more than name’ and ‘Excellence within simplicity.’ My charm
is that I go about looking like a beggar hiding the badge of power from Heaven and I examine
the entire world. I report to God and the Lord every detail, asking Them to take care of various
matters with justice. I have set the condition that the entire world could not have set before the
Lord and with that, I report to God and the Lord all the matters of the world in detail.

January 29th 2012 Sunday Message Summary

Scriptures: Song of Songs 5:2-7

The sermon about ‘opportunity’ is such a delicious sermon; it is like food that perfectly suits your taste buds. I hope that you will perk up your ears, focus your mind, and listen attentively to what kind of words the Lord speaks through me.

From today’s scriptures, the woman who was fully adorned and waiting for her beloved in her room refers to the virgin Israel as a nation, and the beloved man who came outside refers to the Savior Jesus at His First Coming. For four thousand years, the Jewish religious people believed in God, prepared themselves, and waited for the Messiah as if a woman waited for her bridegroom, her lover, someone whom she loved and desired most. But when God came to earth through the body of Jesus, according to the promise in the Bible, some of them just thought, ‘Someone has come,’ and others couldn’t recognize Him at all. Jesus came as the beloved one and knocked on the door of the time period with ‘the Word,’ but they didn’t open the door.

Because they moved slowly, thought according to their own perspectives, disbelieved, even slandered, and failed to act like lightning in receiving the owner of the time period, Jesus ultimately left them. In the end, Israel was invaded by her neighboring countries, and she was taken forcibly by Rome for four hundred years, just like the virgin who, when wandering around looking for her beloved, was attacked by the watchmen of the city. Israel was placed in a pitiful and regretful position.

Glory comes brilliantly but opportunities come secretly. Opportunities are not glamorous. Sometimes, they come quietly like a whisper. Sometimes, they come in the midst of harsh wind and rain. At times, they come when the snow blizzards of tribulation whirl. Even in the midst of tribulation, persecution, and suffering, opportunities come when ‘the time’ arrives. Opportunities come and make the people who are waiting for it realize clearly enough that it has come.

Most people lose the opportunity, and it is only afterwards that they realize and chase after that opportunity. When the opportunity comes, you must throw away your own mentality, your arrogance, and your own thoughts, and you must aggressively and diligently take action like lightning. Then, you will be able to take hold of the opportunity.

People wait so eagerly for an opportunity and then when it actually comes, they miss it, not realizing that it was an opportunity. And then only after missing that opportunity do they wail, beating the ground to the point that it shakes the whole Earth. It was my experiences that some opportunities came unexpectedly from the north when I had been waiting for them to come from the east. Also, there were times where I had waited for an opportunity for many years, or even decades, but when the opportunity finally came, it came in a flash and only remained for a few seconds, while other opportunities remained obtainable for a few weeks before they disappeared.

You must not miss the opportunities. If you miss the opportunities, you will become a mudfish, but if you seize the opportunities, you will become a dragon and soar into the sky. This year is the year of the black dragon. Everyone should become a dragon and become people that fly into the sky. By loving the Lord, you must rapture so that your ‘body’ will live on earth, soaring and flying high in the sky, and your ‘spirit’ will fly into the embrace of the Lord. And when the Lord comes, you must receive Him like lightning and rapture.

January 25th 2012 Wednesday Message Summary

Scriptures: Psalms 23, Mark 9:28-29, Revelation 11:3-5

God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus are satisfied and happy when human beings acknowledge Their status and authority and when human beings are thankful for, acknowledge, and testify about the things the Trinity did for us. Additionally, God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus draw close to such people and love them.
If a person does not acknowledge what the Trinity has done yet the Trinity keeps doing things for them, the person will think that those things were a result of their own deeds, and they will become even more human-centered and live a self-centered life. Since it will not benefit Heaven, God and Jesus do not do things for people who are like that.

There is one thing that we should absolutely acknowledge first. We must acknowledge 100% that God created the Universe, all of creation, and the Earth. The body is made up of physical matter, so it cannot exist for eternity. Therefore, if only the physical body was made, it would be such a waste. So, God made the ‘spiritual body’ in the image and likeness of the Trinity, and predestined the spirit to be saved so that it will live for the purpose of living forever.

Mankind has matured until this day because God sowed the ‘human seed’ in the ‘womb of the Earth’. When people make a machine, they make it in a way that it will start to function as it’s designed when they turn the power on. In this way, God created people in a way that a life would be born through the function of love when their parents love each other. And, God transformed human beings gradually according to time and the generation and made us into the completed image of human beings that we see today.
Anyone who does not know correctly will fail. Two thousand years ago, God said that He would come, but Jesus came, using the body of a human being, and said, “I have come.” So the people of that time period did not welcome Him. Instead, they opposed Him and treated Him as a heretic. But who lost out in the end? Jesus did not fulfill the Will with those who did not know Him. Jesus fulfilled the Will with those who received Him. The Lord will say, “You shouldn’t interpret the Bible according to your own perspective but you should see it correctly!”

The problem with those who think that Jesus will come in ‘the body’ and with those who think that they themselves will meet the Lord and go to Heaven in ‘the body’ is that they are not preparing their ‘spirit’ properly. If it is in spirit that the Lord will come, we need to prepare our ‘spirit’ through our body while we live here in this world. Only then, can we become one with the Lord’s spirit, receive the Lord, and go to Heaven.
There is something that we need to acknowledge first and foremost among the things that the Holy Trinity has done. It is common sense that we should believe 100% and testify that God created the Universe, the Earth, and human beings. If you pray and confess that God created the Universe, the Earth, and human beings, then God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus will all reply, “That is right,” and you will hear this answer in your heart.
The Holy Trinity takes action through people, They do things in a way that makes it seem like a coincidence, and They work through nature—such as using the principles of nature. We must know this.

God carries out, on purpose, everything that happens in the world ‘according to the good and evil that human beings have done.’ We need to know that God executes everything while seeing through human beings’ souls and spirits, and joints and marrow. God carries out His plan and does not say, “I, Jehovah, have done this.” Instead, He has given us ‘responsibility’ so that we, human beings, will realize and know on our own, according to our own level.

God takes action in billions of different ways. Therefore, when you see something, please ask God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus about it. I hope that you will have interest in what they do and pray about it. Or, I hope that you will realize it through reading the Word. If you scrutinize it carefully when something happens to you, you will know whether it happened because you failed to do your responsibility or because God whipped you.
Also, you need to pray earnestly having interest in order to know and realize what the Holy Trinity has done. Knowing and acknowledging what God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus have done for us individually, for our nation, for the world, and for Providence is ‘the method of self-management’ this year. We need to testify about what the Holy Trinity has done. Then it will become a blessing to us. Then, we will be able to evangelize.

January 22nd 2012 Sunday Message Summary & Audio

Scriptures: Psalms 23, Mark 9:28-29, Revelation 11:3-5

I prayed to the Lord, sincerely asking, “When the people of the world come before the omnipotent and omniscient God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus like this, what must we do in order to satisfy You and please You?” At that time, God spoke. “When you acknowledge what I, Jehovah, have done, and when you testify to everyone about what I have done, I am satisfied and happy.”
Between people, between brothers, or between parents as well, the other person is happiest when we acknowledge and appreciate what they have done and when we treat them accordingly. Try it. Acknowledge what God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus have done and tell them about it. When you acknowledge what They have done until now, you can start a conversation with Them right away. If you don’t know what They have done, then ask.

God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus have done hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of things for individuals, families, nations, and the world. Let me list the major things.
-They created the Universe, the Solar System, and the Earth where human beings dwell. And They also created our bodies and spirits. That is why we are living right now.
-They have protected our lives, helped us, come to us when we sighed and comforted us.
-They have also created the spiritual world and Heaven—the world of gemstones—and They have saved our spirits and told us to come to Heaven.

-Furthermore, They raptured our bodies on earth and gave us the Word so that we can rapture in spirit, and They have loved us and led us.

-Some people yell in anger and fiercely blocked and slandered God’s history of the time period and the central figure, but you have believed and followed. God protected you and that is why you have been able to believe and follow until now.
-Additionally, there are so many other people who are superior to us in the world, but God called us, who are pitiful and poor, to this history. This also is work that the Holy Trinity has done.

Everyone, you must pray. If you don’t live with a determination to put your life on the line, then no matter how much of the Word you listen to, you will not know what to pray about unless it was all revealed to you.
Even though you listen to the sermon, you don’t understand its true meaning. Then how can you know everything that is unspoken? Usually people feel left out and grumble saying, ‘Why don’t God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus help me?’ These people are so ignorant because they don’t even know when the Trinity has helped them! If you don’t know, Satan will work upon you. People don’t know even though they have received help. We have to acknowledge just how much God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus help nations and the world. Only those who pray, pray more sincerely and earnestly while putting their lives on the line, so they will come to realize it all the more when God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus help them.

When it comes to love also, if we don’t acknowledge it, it is nothing but unanswered love. As a result, it’s useless to love. Only when we continually acknowledge and testify about what God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus do, will it not be a one-sided love. Not only should we testify during times of testimony, but we should also acknowledge what others have done and testify for one another at church.

Now is the time of the Complete Testament. So prior to the Lord’s Advent, God is rendering stern judgment upon individuals, families, nations, the world, and religions that are not peaceful. The Lord said, “God is commencing judgments that send their spirits to death. People do not know their own wrongs but they live doing things only thinking about what they have done well. But God judges according to each person’s deeds based on what He has seen.”

January 18th 2012 Wednesday Message

Scriptures: Jonah 3:10, Genesis 19:23-26, 2 Kings 19:14-19, 29-37

Before writing this message, I prayed to the Lord. I prayed, “People do not know how important and necessary prayer is deep in their hearts. Please make them realize when they hear the Word to the point their hearts are set on fire, realize, and take the action of praying their entire life.”
Then the Lord spoke to me. No matter how much you tell someone about the importance of prayer, a person who hasn’t experienced it will never understand how important prayer is and how prayer determines their destiny.
In a large town in the countryside there lived a subject of the king of that country. That subject had a woman whom he loved very much. But a wicked person plotted against the woman and she was taken by an official and put to death unjustly. In that situation, what should the subject do? He should put everything aside and desperately petition the king about the injustice that he suffered. This is how absolutely necessary prayer is. If the subject did not tell the king, the king wouldn’t know and thus would not be able to exercise his power. Instead, he would have no choice but to let it be.

If the subject says to the king, “She was my beloved one. If you don’t take care of it, I will handle it myself with my own authority. Please just give me permission. I am your faithful subject, am I not? Please allow me to handle all of those who caused me injustice,” then the king will say, “I gave you that position and authority, so go ahead. Go and settle the matter to your heart’s content.”

We need to pray to God just like a faithful subject petitioning the king. Then God will either resolve the matter Himself or let us resolve it with the authority that He has given us. He clearly resolves it through one of these two methods.
After making me realize like this, the Lord said, “In this way, now is a time when prayer is very important. Now is a time when you must surely pray to God about your grief.”

Prayer enables you to have a give-and-take relationship with God and Jesus. Both parties must be living in order for them to have a give-and-take relationship, whether it is between things in nature or between human beings. If the relationship breaks, even if you are living, you are dead in terms of function.
Prayer is better than swords, spears or any new weapons. Prayer is a weapon that is more powerful than the atomic bomb.

Do you know how urgently prayer is needed in this time period? At this time, prayer is necessary for your life in this way: a virgin in love has a baby but because she is afraid that the parents will find out, she throws the infant out of the window in the winter. Someone immediately catches the baby and brings it into a warm room. Pray thinking that the newborn baby that was thrown out of the window is you, yourself. Your fate is determined by your sincere prayer.

A person who prays will not end up on a rough path, and every time they pray, the line of life that was as thin as a piece of thread becomes as thick as an iron rope. Therefore, they can safely climb even a rocky cliff. Those who do not pray have a treacherous path before them and their line of life is as thin as a piece of thread.

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.

January 11th 2012 Wednesday Message Summary

Scripture: Matthew 25: 31-46
In the course of living our lives, any good deed that we have done to the least, in other words, to our brothers will be considered as a good deed done to the Holy Trinity, and any wicked deed we have committed against our brothers will be considered as wickedness done against the Holy Trinity, and God will make the final judgment.

When you see those who believe in God and Jesus in the world, you find that they don’t dare slander God and Jesus and they live fearing God and Jesus. However, with other believers or brothers, they fight, slander, become furious, lash out in anger, and they even live cursing others. They would not dare do that to God and Jesus.

God sent the Holy Son to the earth, and the Holy Son came to the earth wearing the flesh of Jesus. However, people hated Jesus to the point that they even ended up killing Him. In the end, according to what they had done to the least of their brothers, in other words, to Jesus who came from among their brothers, the Son of Man put them on the left and repaid them according to their deeds. Jesus comes again in this time period and judges according to what people have done.

Throughout the four thousand years of the Old Testament history period, and also throughout the two thousand years of the New Testament history period, God fulfilled history while separating the good and the evil and repaying them according to their deeds. Also in this time period of the Complete Testament history, the Lord said that just as He separates the sheep and the goats, He would separate and judge by looking at what we have done to our brothers as what we have done to God and Jesus.

God gives the Word in each time period. He has always fulfilled history while separating those who believed in and followed that Word, and those who did not believe but rejected the Word. God has fulfilled the Providence of salvation while separating those who believed in the Word of the time period as the good and those who did not follow but rejected the Word as the evil.
- Wood has to be split in order for it to be set on fire. In this way, the Word, too, must be taught by interpreting it only with the truth clearly and precisely. Then the listeners will be set on fire.

-Sin and righteousness have to be separated in order for your soul and spirit to be set on fire. In order to separate sin, you need to truly repent. You must repent. Then you can receive forgiveness from the Lord, and sin will be separated out and disappear.

-With time too, you should use it while dividing it properly. Then, your work will be set on fire and you will be able to do the work properly.

-With love, also; you should separate love for God, the Holy Spirit, and Jesus, and love for the earth. There is a definite difference.

With the structure of human beings, we also have the world of the physical body—the world of the entity of the heart—and the world of the spiritual body. Since I taught in a way that separates the physical body, the entity of the heart—in other words, the heart, mind, thoughts, and soul—and the spiritual body, your soul and spirit were set on fire. With God’s history of salvation, when I taught separating the history of the Old Testament—the history of the New Testament—and the history of the Complete Testament, you were set on fire with the fire of the new history.
After listening to the perfect Word of the time period, you must separate out all the ignorant, foolish, and unjust things in your heart. From your deeds, habits, and routines also, you should repent of everything that is corrupt and separate them, so that you can live without committing sins again. Only then can you believe in the Word that the Lord is delivering through the man-of-mission of the time period, and only then will you be set ablaze with the truth, so that you can receive salvation appropriate for the time period and receive the Lord properly.

There are limitless secrets in the spiritual world, but the most important word that we must urgently know and put into action in this time period is the word regarding ‘the Advent and Rapture.’ The Word about ‘The Advent and Rapture’ is the Word of life that directly pertains to our body and spirit. Therefore, I teach this Word most importantly.
