말씀 녹취록

He devoted himself solely to prayer.

Acts 1:12-14

I confess my faith: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

It seems like colds and flu are going around these days. Please take good care of yourself, and I hope you take good care of your fellow believers.

If you are healthy, you will be used well in the work of the Lord and move forward in the five powers in 2025.

We have run through the year 2024. We will also run through 2025 with great force.

As every process was a grace, every ending was also a grace.

There is a direction given by God for the month of January. Please focus on this and be victorious in worship.

Please tell the person next to you, "You are an evangelist. You are a remnant. I love you and bless you."

The title of today's message is 'Dedicated solely to prayer.'

We gathered together in the attic of Magadar with one mind.

People mainly pray to the absolute being they believe in, and they pray mainly when times are difficult and tough.

When I look back on the past while praying, I think everyone prayed for me.

I would have prayed about what I needed, what I wanted to do, and what I wanted.

As time passed, the church became included in my prayers. I began praying for the department and group I belonged to.

One day, the door opened and spirits began to appear around me.

From that day on, I started praying for the people I was evangelizing to.

I began to pray, hoping that people around me would believe in Jesus.

As the field was engraved in my heart, and this country was engraved in my heart, I began to pray for mission fields all over the world.

Finally, I started praying with God's word.

As I did so, I saw that the words were always fulfilled, regardless of the environment, the problem, or who the other person was.

I believed in God according to His word, and God fulfilled all His words.

After seeing this, I began to believe what was said.

Why have you come to this place today? Haven't you come to hold on to the word and believe it?

In the past, when I had a problem, I would get caught up in it and complain about it, but now I hold on to the problem and pray about it.

Today, the early church held onto the covenant and prayed. They held onto the covenant and prayed even in difficult and trying situations.

They devoted themselves solely to prayer and enjoyed the response the early church received.

The answer in the Bible is not their answer, it is the answer to today's schedule.

When a person is confident, he has nothing to fear.

Once you become confident, the fear disappears.

Because I believe in God and His Word, I am no longer afraid of anything, just by having faith in what God will do.

As we close out 2024, I encourage you to examine your prayers. Are you praying covenantal prayers or praying for yourself?

The most precious thing to sheep is the shepherd. The sheep follow the shepherd's voice.

God is the shepherd of our lives.

This is why we can confidently walk down a path we have never walked before, through the word of the Lord.

I am not afraid because I already have confidence before fear comes.

The best thing you can do this year is to listen to God's voice.

If you just listen to the word and enter into prayer, darkness will be bound and the kingdom of God will come to you.

To me, a wonderful change will come to the scene.

In this world, what you see is not everything.

It is about continuing to fight a spiritual battle with words and prayers.

The most important thing for spiritual battle is prayer. When they prayed in the upper room, everyone devoted themselves solely to prayer.

This year too, please do nothing else and just enter into prayer for your group and country.

The Holy Spirit will come like fire and wind to the group and the nation because of you.

The problems of the group and the problems of this country will also work together for good over time.

You have to go into deep concentration.

In a foggy room, when the fog clears, distant objects begin to appear faintly.

I hope you will make a covenant and enter into a deeper level of prayer.

Please read Romans 4:17-20.

Abraham comes out.

It is written that he hoped and believed even though it was an impossible situation. He said that he would become the ancestor of many believers.

The reason we can move forward with faith without wavering is because of the covenant.

Please make sure that you have the covenant.

Enter into concentration, into the depth of prayer so that you will forget everything from the past.

It wasn't for nothing that I told you this last week.

As I passed by, I realized that God's words were accurate.

I hope this will be a year of realistic experiences.

If this doesn't work, I'll end up thinking I'm repeating the same story.

If that happens, the darkness on the scene cannot be broken down.

The best churches are the ones that inspire from time to time.

I can impress you with nice words, but you will forget them all.

But the gospel is remembered.

When that problem comes, we enter into that problem through the gospel, find the answer, and apply it.

You can get the exact answer in that question.

If you just go into prayer and hold on to the covenant of world evangelization and begin to pray for future generations, for your family and your clan, He will give you many answers.

I hope you will find out what kind of response you should receive through the text.

To summarize, the church during the period when Jesus' disciples were active is called the early church.

We must take this early church as a model and pray for everything to be answered.

I believe that if you pray, your prayers will be answered.

Please pray for the lost sheep. Please pray for the young people who have left the church.

Please pray for those who are absent for a long time. Please pray for all the families.

Then, I believe that God will answer all prayers.

Even when you study, please study through prayer.

If you look at many successful people, they fall apart at crucial moments just as they succeed.

You really need to pray from a young age.

We must become a generation that can pray.

Look at the people gathered in the attic.

They said there were 120 people, but they were all incompetent, had no background, and had no power.

Because I was weak, I began to feel my limitations.

I saw that only God can do it.

In the end, I had no choice but to call on your name.

Because the only thing I could believe in was the gospel.

Then, don't we have no choice but to call on the name of the Lord?

A proud person has no need to seek God.

If I could do everything by my own strength, I would have no need to seek God.

To whom and for what do we pray?

Problems and difficulties will continue to come and can never be avoided.

I try to listen to people's voices, go to a counselor, and find someone with a good personality to talk to.

Some people try to pray with books.

We obviously have to reach a limit.

Acknowledge our limitations and live on our knees in 2025.

Please pray on your knees.

After we realized that there was nothing we could do on our own, this felt so important.

Strictly speaking, there is nothing we can do. We must leave it to God.

You have to bet your all on prayer.

I really hope that in 2025 you will bet everything on prayer.

I hope you overcome everything through prayer.

Please don't have too many meetings and pray a lot.

Please spend 1 minute in the meeting and 9 minutes in prayer. Please increase the amount of prayer.

The believers in the early church prayed for ten days without any time to eat.

This brought about a work of the Holy Spirit like wind and fire that even the mighty nation of Rome could not stop.

This Holy Spirit will heal all your diseases within this year.

Secondly, the door of evangelism will open.

We cannot open the hearts of people. We cannot open the hearts of children as we wish.

As a result, I keep hearing people say that I can't do it and that I shouldn't do it.

The Holy Spirit must change this heart and mind, but we cannot open the door of evangelism or the hearts of people.

We must take up the challenge of going to numerous mission fields.

Bulgaria and Singapore, following the missionary door.

Follow what God does and what the Holy Spirit opens.

I hope you enjoy your world mission to the fullest.

The third time the word is fulfilled.

All my words will come true.

Fourthly, a great number of disciples will arise.

Many disciples will flock to become midwives.

They will come from all over the world.

Fifth and final, there will be a changed response.

You will find that I have changed and grown a lot.

The best change is when I change.

The problem and the environment remain the same, but I am the one who is changing. When I change, my children are the ones who are changing.

As I change, those I evangelize to change.

If I live, others will live too.

The best change is my change.

Don't say you're too busy to pray. This year, I hope you'll definitely challenge yourself to pray.

I would like to have a prayer forum where all the praying elders, praying evangelists, praying deacons, and praying remnants can pray.

I hope you will take on the challenge with great faith in the field.

If you confess with great faith, please speak up.

Please confess with faith. God hears our confession of faith.

Please set your goals properly.

He said, “Do not weep for me, but weep for my children.”

Please hold on to the lamp of prayer so that it never goes out.

We may not be praying for answers, but God has ways of answering us.

All we can do is hold on to the Word and knock on God.

It is important to pray alone, but it is also important to pray together.

The Holy Trinity will help you beyond time and space.

You will experience this prayer that was with Daniel.

The angel of the Lord must come to your children.

Protecting and guiding your children is what God wants for you and keeps you safe.

All we can do is pray with faith so that we never fall to the ground.

We disbelieve ourselves and groan ourselves.

I hope you succeed this year.

God knows that we are weak.

Jesus first prays with a sighing heart.

I pray, and God is with me.

I pray, and God works.

How hard it is for a person to be locked up in prison! But the person in prison received a greater response than the person outside the prison. This person was Jeremiah.

In Luke 24, it says that the Lord sent His angel to strengthen Jesus.

It will surely give you strength.

When you pray, you gain strength. You gain power.

A tremendous amount of power is generated.

It's not something we can do on our own.

Just holding that position is a great mission. Please support the department you are in charge of with prayer.

Fourth, I pray and God opens the door.

He opens all the blocked doors.

Open the door to the economy, open the door to disease.

He releases all the stuffiness that has been bothering me.

I hope that you and I will just enter into prayer.

In conclusion.

Please look at Deuteronomy 1:33.

We are praying for the temple of God. He has prepared a place for the tabernacle.

In Deuteronomy 6:11, it says that there is a large and beautiful church that was not even built.

God can do all things.

We are doing reverse missions to multi-ethnic disciples.

I hope you can get a response that will help you do some reverse missionary work.

I believe that we need to focus on the praise work this year.

In Acts 16, we see that there was a song of praise in prison, and all the prisoners there were saved.

Praise must come to the church this year.

So I am confident.

He will make our church grow and advance within this year.

Now we are with the World Evangelization Association.

Following the flow of the word, He gave us the number 24.

24 is man's time. Now is our time to pray.

We must only pray. Even sleeping is a form of prayer.

If you devote yourself solely to prayer, you will gain 25 hours. This time is God's time.

I pray that God will open the door of missions, the door of evangelism, the door of an important future, the restoration of families and clans, the fulfillment of the word, the restoration of churches, workplaces, and schools, all of which are 25.

What God does is 25.

He told me to create a work that would last forever.

Even if I disappear, that answer is eternal.

Even when you are gone, the works you leave behind will last forever.

Please focus and challenge yourself.

This year, you will be called the remnant.

The watchtower of light, the pilgrim of light will arise.

2025 will be the year when we set the course of light for true revival.

Thank you, God. Thank you for allowing us to enter 2025 despite all the events of the past year.

We only want to enter into prayer.

There is no time to go. There is no time to worry. We believe that this is the timetable for us to wake up and pray.

Please make me a person of prayer who prays through my family, my clan, and my church.

In the name of the living Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen.
