1. Identity establishment and the guidance of the Holy Spirit (1) Lk 10:1-20 (2) Ac 1:14 (3) Ac 6:1-7 (4) Ac 11:19 (5) Ac 13:1 (6) Field of Macedonia (Ac 16:15, 17:6, 18:4) (7) Field of Rome (Ac 19:21, 23:11, 27:24) 2. It is not training; it is answers. (1) Mt 4:19 (2) Mk 3:13-15 (3) Ac 2:9-11 (4) Ac 18:1-4 (5) Ac 18:24-28(25-26) (6) 1Co 16:19 (7) Ro 16:3-4 3. It’s not service, it is uncovering 100 years’ worth of answers, 1000 years’ worth of answers, the answer for this age. (1) Ac 2:1 (Day of Pentecost) (2) Ac 2:5 (When the day) (3) Ac 2:20 (The great and magnificent day of the Lord) (4) Ac 2:41 (That day) (5) Ac 2:46-47 (Day by day)

◆ Introduction 1) There is a commonality between all the people who are living upon this earth. Everyone desires to live happily and all people desire to achieve success. ▶However, unhappiness and failure exist upon this earth. No matter how hard we try to be happy and achieve success, if we do not know the fundamental spiritual problems of mankind, we have no choice but to be overcome by those spiritual problems. (2) There are a diverse array of religions and doctrines upon the earth. ▶However, spiritual problems cannot be solved by religion. ▶God gave us the Gospel, fully knowing that we could not solve our spiritual problems by our own strength. (3) Then, if we have been clothed by that grace, what is the reason for our lives today? What is the reason why we must succeed? ▶The life of giving all glory unto God is the happiest reason and is the reason for our very existence. ◆ Main discourse 1. Because God is Creator God, He has a plan of creation. (1) Ge 1:27-28, God made us in His image and He made us to be with God. (2) Is 43:7, Is 43:21, God created us for His glory and praise. (3) Paul discovered this – Ro 11:36, 1Co 10:31 2. Those who know the source and solution of the fundamental problem of mankind can give glory unto God. (1) Ro 3:23 – That is the Genesis 3 incident. 1) There is no way to block the ensuing forces of curses and disasters. ▶The Bible tells us it is because of the original sin. 2) Unbelievers are bound by destiny and cannot come out from this problem. ▶The Bible says that we do not have spiritual freedom if we are seized by Satan. 3) The more time passes, our lives are filled with even more emptiness, futility, and thirst, and so, wandering begins. ▶The Bible says that this is because we, who were created to be with God, have left God. (2) Using the methods of mankind, this problem cannot be solved. (3) God gave us a complete solution. ▶God sent us the Christ (Ge 3:15, Ex 3:18, Is 7:14, Mt 16:16). 2Co 5:17 We are children of God.. 3. How can we give glory to God? (1) We can give glory to God through worship (Ge 1:17-28, Is 150:6). (2) Ph 1:20, Whether by life or death, for the Lord – relaying and revealing the name of God to others ◆Conclusion (1) Life conclusion – No matter what you do, may you live the life of the evangelist of giving all glory to God. (2) May you live a life of glorifying God through all the answers, good things, hardships, and suffering. (3) May you reinterpret your lives with the Gospel. May you take all of the past and experiences that God has permitted to you as conditions for thanksgiving. May you take today as a platform and live the life of the evangelist. (4) You do not live the life of the evangelist through your strength. I bless you that just as it says in Acts 1:8, you will lift up the name of God, testify of His name, and have victory through the life of the evangelist by the power of the Holy Spirit alone.

◆ Introduction ▶Through yesterday’s Core message, we heard that we must make the correct start as evangelists. Why is that? Satan’s number 1 strategy is to make you forget how precious you are (Is 43:4). Then, his number 2 strategy is to make evangelists have the incorrect start. Evangelists must begin correctly. In order to do that, we must first be rooted in the Gospel. ▶Why must we be rooted in the Gospel? In our lives, we can face hardships, persecution, and great tribulation. We must pray so that these things are not a problem for us and for us to overcome them. ①No matter what happens or what you do, find the answer of the kingdom of God of Acts 1:3. Only then will you be able to discover God’s will and His hidden plan. ②Then, you will be able to focus in prayer like is Acts 1:14. ③Then, the works of Acts 2:1-47 that no one can block will begin. God will answer you 24 hours a day. ④If this blessing continues, you will find that you have no choice but to rise to the summit. This is the secret weapon. Evangelists must get a taste of this and enjoy this mystery. ◆ Main discourse 1. Look and see how the unbelievers are living their lives. (1) They have become children of the devil through the Genesis 3 problem. (Jn 8:44) (2) They have been seized by their fate and fortune through the Genesis 6 problem. (Eph 2:2) (3) Genesis 11, They stand against God. That is why they are filled with anxiety, nervousness, and worries. (Eph 2:3) (4) Dt 28:60-61, Ac 8:4-8, They are suffering from various illnesses. (5) Heb 9:27, Lk 16:19-31, They will die once and face a judgment. (6) Ex 20:4-5, 1Co 10:20, Idol worshippers will be destroyed to the 3rd and 4th generation. 2. Believer – saved child of God (different people). ▶We are the ones who have received the blessing of being set free from the 6 states of the unbeliever. (1) Mt 16:16, Those who know Christ (priest, king, prophet) (2) Jn 1:12, Those who have accepted Jesus Christ – child (3) 1Co 3:16, Jn 14:16-27, Ac 1:8, He led us to save the world through the indwelling, guidance, and filling of the Holy Spirit. (4) 1Jn 5:11-13, We need to have the assurance of salvation. (5) Jn 14:13-14, Jn 15:16, Jn 16:24, He has given us the blessing of answered prayers. (6) Mk 3:13-15, Mt 28:18-20, Lk 10:19, To be with you, to send you out to preach, and to give you the authority to cast out demons (7) 1Co 15:57, That is why we have victory in the name of Jesus Christ. 3. You are evangelists. (1) Lay down roots in complete Gospel and only Gospel. (2) You must truly have the strength of prayer (5 powers). (3) Evangelists save others (Elisha, evangelists of the Early Church) (4) That is why we must have self-pride, self confidence, and self esteem. (5) Your background is the blessed background of heaven and the throne. ◆Conclusion (1) You must put down the roots of the Gospel in your most fundamental source. Then, the fruits will bear. (2) When Satan tries to take a foothold, crush him with complete faith. (3) Be a person who knows the reason. Then, you will come to see God’s will (Ac 13:22)

1. If we do not change our nature, we will fail. (1) Ac 5:1-11, 11:1-18, 13:1-4, 16:6-10, 19:21

(2) This is because we are only imprinted with the culture of Genesis 3, the knowledge of the world, physical strength, and worldly success. (Ge 3, Ge 6, Ge 11)

(3) Ac 13:1-12, 16:16-18, 19:8-20:8 We cannot overcome this. 2. Because of our nature, we must have the answer of ‘only’ (1) Ac 1:8, 2:1-13 (2) Ac 4:29-31 (3) Ac 6:1-7 (4) Ac 7:1-60 (5) Ac 12:1-25 (6) Ac 19:1-7 3. If we have ‘only’, everything will become a platform and blessing, and we will have spiritual victory (Php 3:1-21).

Core msg: The Evangelist must Begin Correctly (Ac 1:1-8)

Disappointment, giving-up, resentment, conflict, lethargy, and poverty makes me lose my direction. If we begin

correctly, we will triumph. 1. Make your hardships into your wings not your snares (1) Ac 5:1-11 (2) Ac 11:1-18 (3) Ac 13:1-12 2. Discern between what you must confirm, wait for, and challenge towards and also be able to do them simultaneously. (1) Ac 1:3-8 (2) Ac 1:14 (3) Ac 2:9-11, 2:41-42 (4) Ac 2:43-47 3. Discern between what you must discard, share, and take hold of and also be able to do them simultaneously (1) Php 3:1-21 (2) Php 1:3-6, 2:13, 4:10-13, 4:19 (3) Ac 1:3, 1:14, 2:1-47, Ro 16:1-27

Weekly Message Flow (2013.8.25.-2013.8.31.)

“Darakbang Message Material Bank http://www.jcking.net Internet Dept. "

(1) 1st Pulpit (August 25th)→ The Disciples Who Saw Three Things Simultaneously (Acts 13:49-52) ▶Thank you, Lord for letting me know the fundament of all hardships and solve the fundamental

problem while realizing the way for the fundamental things. As I pray holding onto the covenant for the blessings of a child of God, please allow me to focus on You and enjoy Your prepared answers as well as being the summit who saves the world. Let me enter into the depth of true prayer and see three things simultaneously: world & Satan, persecution & suffering, and God’s work, so I may enjoy prepared answers accurately and grab hold of the future promise. Let me follow the post sign of three today’s: word, prayer, and evangelism. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

(2) 2nd Pulpit (August 25th)→ God’s Method (Acts 14:1-7) ▶Thank you Lord for letting me know the cause of all problems, Gen. Ch. 3 incident and the channel

Satan works and for letting me fight spiritual fight. May all the darkness crumble at each step I take holding onto Christ, the mystery of God that not many people know about. Now, may the door of evangelism open through the blessing of the remnant movement that can prevent crime and even through incidents or accidents. And let me raise disciples who will save my field. So, I may enjoy the authority that God gives and solve problems that no one else can solve in this age. I pray in name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

(3) Evangelism Planning Team (August 25th)→ Regional Message Lesson 34: Person who can give thanks (Colossians

3:15-17) ▶ Although physical thanksgiving is important, everything will be lost if there is no thanksgiving in

the state of your heart. Your spiritual state is even more important than that. Paul faced the most sufferings, but he had the greatest amount of thanksgiving.

① Precious believer- Giving thanks to God for answers, for the grace of salvation, and for the opportunity of suffering for the gospel.

② You can give your devotions when you are thankful for knowing the works that will arise in the future.

③ This is because truly humble people can give thanks, true success is inside of God’s plan, true power takes place only through God’s working, and true thanksgiving comes from God’s grace.

(4) Tychicus Meeting (August 25th)→ Future Generation ① It is changing what they have been educated and imprinted with (Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 1 Samuel

7:1-15, 1 Kings 6:8-24, Isaiah 60:1-22, Paul-synagogue) ② Education is changing the fundamental things (Genesis 3, 6, 11, Acts 13, 16, 19) ③ It is the education and study of evangelism that can change the merchant culture, religious culture,

and idolatrous culture. ④ Conclusion- Therefore, starting now, we need to come up with a method to change what has been

imprinted in the remnants. (5) Evangelism Training Center Opening Seminar (Youngnam Region) (August 27th)→ Model of the Experience

of the Evangelism Disciple ▶ Acts 1:8 will be fulfilled when we stop making mistakes because of the little things and the things

that fall from the essence. ① Evangelism disciples must become the models of four covenants- God’s kingdom (Acts 1:3-answer

(meditation)-healing), Mark’s home (Acts 1:14- concentration/power), Acts 2:1-47 (church-24 hour), Romans 16 (summit)

② Evangelism disciples must be the models of the signposts- fundamental (Matthew 16:16, Matthew 28:1-20, Acts 1:3), darakbang (Acts 1:14), team ministry and evangelism (Acts 2:9-11, 41), teamwork and missions (Acts 11:19, 13:1, 16:6-10, 19:21)

③ Evangelism disciples must be the models within their entrusted fields- Sunday school (field to save the educators), institution (the core to have WITH), region (the core place to have the evangelism movement and nurturing.)

④ Conclusion- the 3 requisites of the kingdom of God (seeing the rightful/inevitable/absolute things. Receive the filling of the Holy Spirit and enjoy the five powers. You must go as the witness with evidence.)

(6) Remnant Theological Training Center Opening Seminar (August 28th)→ Leader of the Experience of the

Evangelism Disciple ▶ If you are caught up with your small emotions or influenced by the sounds that fall from the

essence, you will lose sight of the preciousness in the small things, and you will become lethargic and fall into powerlessness.

① Become the leader in four things- Acts 1:3 (kingdom/answer-word/healing), Acts 1:14 (concentration-power), Acts 2:1-47 (doors-24 hours), Romans 16 (summit-leader)

② Become the leader of the signposts- Fundamentals (Matthew 16:16, Matthew 28:1-20, Acts 1:3, 8), Acts 1:14 (darakbang), Acts 2:1, 9-11, 41, 47 (team ministry), Acts 11:19,13:1, 16:6-10,19:21 (teamwork and missions)

③ Become the leader in the field that has been entrusted to you- Sunday school (the unique chance to save the educators), institution (opportunity to properly explain what “with” is), region (the golden chance to evangelize and nurture)

④ Conclusion- Do what is rightful/inevitable/absolute to gain answers, God’s kingdom, and God’s plan. Moreover, gain the filling of the Holy Spirit and the five powers. And with evidence, stand as the witness!

(7) Evangelism Training Center Opening Seminar (Metropolitan Area) (August 29th)→ Model of the Experience of the Evangelism Disciple

▶Please refer to the Youngnam region opening seminar message and the Remnant Theological Training Center opening seminar message.

(8) Business Message (August 31st)→ Experience of the Life of the Evangelist (34)- Church Officer Grad School Unified

Service (Acts 2:10) ▶ You cannot realistically receive answers if you do not know the reason why you have become a

church officer or the reason why you are partaking in the church officer graduate school. ① You must continue to have questions in regards to the gospel and life (Matthew 16:13-20, John

21:15-18, Acts 1:11)- The heavenly mandate is fulfilled here (Luke 10:1-20, Acts 1:14, Acts 6:1-7, Acts 11:19, Acts 13:1, Acts 16:15, Acts 17:6, Acts 18:4, Acts 19:21, Acts 23:11, Acts 27:24)

② You must seek out the answer of receiving prayer answers while having questions regarding prayer training (Matthew 4:19, Mark 3:13-15, Acts 2:9-11, Acts 18:1-4, Acts 18:25-26, 1 Corinthians 16:19, Romans 16:3-4)

③ It is not devotion; it is the time schedule where the 100 year, 1000 year, historic answer is being fulfilled (Acts 2:1, Acts 2:5, Acts 2:20, Acts 2:41, Acts 2:46-47)

④ Conclusion- Priscilla and Aquila resolved three things. How must we evangelize? How must I have devotion? How must I give offering? If you just know the reason and come down to the answer, God will work.

(9) Study of Evangelism (August 31st)→ Spirituality Movement and the Church Officer (Acts 1:8) ① Church Officer Graduate School- Change of Nature ② Regional Evangelism Specialized Camp-

Answer-Disciple (10) Core Message (August 31st)→ Experience of the Life of the Evangelist (34): The Evangelism Must Begin Correctly

(Acts 1:1-8) ▶ Satan’s first strategy is to make you unaware of how important you really are. Satan’s second

strategy is making you, who have received salvation begin incorrectly. First, begin with four things (Acts 1:3 kingdom-answer, Acts 1:14, Acts 2:1-47, Romans 16). ① Then, your hardships will not be a trap, but it will become your wings (Acts 5:1-11, Acts 11:1-18,

Acts 13:1-12) ② Starting from that point, all the persecution that arises will start to change into the correct

beginnings. Then you will be able to see what you must confirm, wait for, and challenge towards (Acts 1:3-8, Acts 1:14, Acts 2:9-11, 41)

③ Great tribulations will actually become opportunities to see God’s great grace. At this time, you will see the things you must discard, enjoy, and take, and God will open up the great door of world evangelization (Philippians 3:1-21, Philippians 1:6, 4:13, 4:19)

④ Conclusion- I hope you will completely come down to the answer through the gospel. Then you will never be shaken.

(11) Regional Message (August 31st)→ Good and Pleasant Fellowship (Psalm 133:1-3)

♠Scripture Reading (Ps. 133:1-3) 1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! 2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. 3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. ▶ The worries of many people in this age is that they don’t have true friends. Although there are a lot of people near them, they don’t have any true friends, so they feel lonely and fall into depression. The suicides of the famous celebrities are already a big problem in our society, but one of their motives for committing suicide was because of the hateful comments on the internet. They didn’t have any true friends to share these difficult problems. So, the small unity of our believers must become a gathering of people who can open their hearts and comfort and encourage each other. 1. You must participate in the place of fellowship together ▶ More than anything else, we must consider the field for the gospel and evangelism the most precious and be together. You may participate in gatherings because you consider them as duties, but we must participate while knowing that it is a blessed place where grace and fellowship is being fulfilled. Psalms 133 shows us how good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity. The Israelites sang this song together and went to the place of God’s grace and His blessings altogether. You will see the beautiful fellowship of the believers in the place of the fellowship. 2. The place of fellowship should be a place where you share together ▶ A place of fellowship should be a place where you share all of your pain, sorrow, and sufferings. God’s people living together in unity mean that they were sharing together. In Rom. 12:15, it said, “Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn.” The problem of today is that people are becoming more and more individualistic. A Christian living is not an individualistic life, but it is a life of being together and sharing your grace, sadness, and joy, where everyone encourages each other and gains strength. 3. The place of fellowship should be a blessed place ▶ God blesses the meeting where there is a beautiful fellowship. In verse 3, it said, “For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.” This means that God will give eternal life to where there is a beautiful fellowship. The blessing of eternal life is not just enjoyed after death, but it is a blessing that is enjoyed from the when you’re on earth. Eternal life is futuristic as well as present which is enjoying God’s life.

4. The results of the fellowship of God’s people becoming one (1) Each other’s’ scars will be healed.

▶ The recorder of Psalms wrote in verse 2 that it is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, down on the collar of his robe. This oil was used medically to treat scars and it was also used for the man who met a robber. “But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.” (Lk. 10:33-34) Also, unbelief and enmity deepens the scars. This is not the way to treat scars. We must follow the word that blessed are the peacemakers and be the believers who try to make peace (Mt. 5:9)

(2) The scent of Christ will spread ▶ God didn’t just use oil as medicine, but He used it to spread beautiful scents, and these kinds of oils were called perfume. “Then the LORD said to Moses, “Tell the Israelites this: ‘You have seen for yourselves that I have spoken to you from heaven: Do not make any gods to be alongside me; do not make for yourselves gods of silver or gods of gold. “‘Make an altar of earth for me and sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings, your sheep and goats and your cattle. Wherever I cause my name to be honored, I will come to you and bless you. If you make an altar of stones for me, do not build it with dressed stones, for you will defile it if you use a tool on it.” (Exo. 30:22-25)

(3) Life will be stirred

▶ The writer of Psalms wrote about God’s people living together as “if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.” (v.3) This dew is a method of prolonging life in the desert, so there is life where there is dew.

▶ These blessings come upon the place where God’s people are harmonious in fellowship. May we all come together as one in Christ’s love and heal each other’s scars, spread the fragrance of Christ, and become the believers who are like dews of life.
