Title: Rise, Shine (Song Gu-Young-Shin Worship)
Content span id="writeContents">◆ Main text: Isaiah 60:1~3
A new year has arrived. “Old things have passed away; behold, the new has come.” You are not from the past. Now I am a new person. The Bible clearly says, “Behold, the former things have passed away.” This year, God gives you precious words.
“Get up. Shine.”
In the days of King Uzziah, God called Isaiah to look at society. It was a very dark society, just like our society today. People say, "You shouldn't be like this, pig." “It won’t go down like this.” The gap between the rich and the poor is too wide. Politicians do not fear God, nor do they fear the people. He called Isaiah in the dark reality.
As we well know, Isaiah was a prophet who cried out for a God of justice. It was definitely a damn nation. In the eyes of Isaiah who prayed despite the fact that they were a nation that God would forsake, God said, “Even though they have done a damn thing, they are the people I love. It is my people.” showed you what to do.
Everyone, what is the greatest blessing among the blessings is to say, “I have become a man of God.” I hope that this precious blessing that God said, “You are mine,” will be a blessing to you as you start the new year.
To us humans, who are now forced to die after being driven out of the Garden of Eden, God has given us a very warm word, a very loving word, and a word of salvation. That word given to us humans is “Ah-mam”.
There are going to be difficult times in your life during this year. It's not just good things. Sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it fails. Sometimes healthy and sometimes sick. Sometimes they get promoted, sometimes they retire. There will be happy times and there will be tears. May you at any time remember this voice of this God.
“Ah-mam”
I'm always with you.....
I will be with you even in the sick bed. Tears of failure are shed, but you will not end, but I will start over with you.
Our Christianity is a religion of starting over. What is the Resurrection Religion? It's not the end, it's the beginning. To this nation, God calls us: He is speaking to a nation that is frustrated and disappointed.
It's hard to see anywhere, on TV or through newspapers. Economics and politics...
When we say no, we Christians must say yes. When we say that we are a damn nation, we are not a nation that God loves. Why? Because Christianity is the religion of hope.
These are the words of blessing given to us. This is the story we need to tell the person next to us over the year. “Relax.” Why? Because it is a nation that God loves.
Parents do not love their children because they are good. It's not that you're cute because you're pretty Even if you do something bad or make a mistake, you can love because you are a child.
“Relax.”
Second, it must be the light. When the darkness gets deeper, the candle shines brighter. Don't blame it for being dark, but become the light, but we humans cannot become the light ourselves. Just like the moon... The moon doesn't have light by itself, so it needs sunlight to shine.
May you all be the moonlight in this year. Accept God's light to your heart's content. Receive the light of the Word. Receive the light of grace. Receive the light of the gift. Only those who have received it can shine.
As I prepare for 2004 with prayer and with the Word, I am starting the New Year's Blessing Crusade again this evening after the first time in 3 years. While I was praying, the Lord told the Israelites what they experienced in the Red Sea as they went toward the welfare of Canaan. you showed me The theme of this crusade will be these words, and you follow them. “You can see Canaan through the walls of the water.”
The first problem the Israelites encountered when they left Egypt on their way to Canaan was the Sea of the Red Sea. The Red Sea Sea, which cannot be crossed by human strength, was divided by the power of God. It was the power of God. As people passed through this divided Red Sea, the water split on both sides, and you don't know how many people were afraid to look at the wall of the water.
“If that water wall collapses at some point and the water merges, we will all die...”
It means that there are people who are anxious even though they are living in the grace of God. I don't know why I can't praise God's grace and feel anxious. If the path of grace has been opened, why not sing a song of grace and go with a heart of grace?
Everyone, this year, as you pass through the water walls, do not worry or be afraid when you see the water walls, but look at the welfare of Canaan between the water walls and in front of me. Water walls are nothing to fear. It is the image of God's grace. But if you look only at the form, fear is bound to come. Even though we say we have faith.... If we, who live with faith, constantly look at the environment, we may feel fear. It is not faith that fights the environment, but faith ignores the environment and looks at the promise God has made.
A nation that looks ahead, a believer who sees the future, a church that knows how to look ahead, a church like this, and such saints can become blessed saints and people of God's power.
I will be passing through the dreadful walls of water with you, dear saints, throughout the year. I will stand before you. And, as God said, this water wall is God's amazing miracle, but let's not just look at the water wall, but look at the land of Canaan that God promised. 52 weeks of that sermon. Everyone, let's look forward with me. Let's look at the welfare of Canaan. So let's get through all kinds of natural disasters, all kinds of political problems, and social chaos. The problem is not a problem when God is seen as big, but fear arises because we do not see God in a big way. A person who sees problems big is a failure. Those who see God in a big way are successful people.
Let's look at God big this year. Let's open our mouth wide to God. Let our church be a powerful church. I hope that powerful prayer will come out when you pray. I earnestly hope that you will become believers who do not ask for little things when you pray, but rather ask for big things. Let's become a beautiful church that delivers God's love to the dark world. Let our church become a place of hope. Let this church become a place of hope.
I hope that all of you dear saints will become people of hope. Wherever we go this year, let's consciously say only words of hope. We wish the person next to us the first blessing of the new year.
“You are fine. Your child is fine too. Your husband is fine too. Your wife is fine too. This country is doing well.”
Why did natural disasters come to this universe God made? It didn't just come. It was human error. Everyone, you really need to listen to God's warning. This year, everyone, let's live our life of faith a little fervently. Don't just lead a habitual and ideological life of faith...
I promise you too. It will be the year of the most hard work of my life, I promised before God. Those who cannot keep up will only look at the water wall and be buried in the water like the Egyptians. However, those who go out with me while looking at the Promised Land will surely enter Canaan's welfare.
Let's celebrate everyone's Sunday this year. This year, everyone, just because you have believed so far, don't do it, listen to the word with faith for the first time, recover the tears that you shed after receiving grace for the first time, and when you hear the word, you have to have that warmth that says "amen" and "amen". Let's relive that miracle that appeared as a church miracle once again. Therefore, I sincerely hope that our church will become a beautiful church that truly radiates the glory of God, a powerful church, a powerful church, and a blessed church.
This year, I threw out two words of blessing.
God is always with you.
Let's follow along. “Ah-mam”
Say hello to the person next to you. “Ah-mam”
“I will always be with you…” If you believe these words, 2004 will be a year of blessing.
This is the second word. Canaan is visible through the water wall.
Canaan is visible through the water wall. In any circumstance, God protects and protects us with the Holy Spirit, but we can be tempted again after waiting for a long time to protect us. Let's believe in the promises of the Word and live.
This year, please do not be late for worship, do not have loose faith, do your best before the living God, and ask sincerely when you really pray. Every time I pray during this year, “God has heard my prayer. “I hope to make a confession. We earnestly hope that our church will become a blessed church with a living testimony and evidence. We will pray with you.
“Thank you, Father God, I start this year by believing in the word of blessing that you said, ‘I will always be with you.’ Help me to live with the faith that you are with me no matter the circumstances or the problems. We believe in the power of God who parted the Red Sea despite all the trials and tribulations before us. As we get our problems resolved, we have fear and nervousness, but please help us not to look at the water wall, but help us to have faith to move forward looking at the land of Canaan that we see through the water walls, the land of God's promise. I hope that the church will rise and shine. Raise all those who have crippled faith. Raise all those who have sick faith. Give strength to these weak feet, and bless them with a beautiful cut that glorifies God with a healthy figure this year. I earnestly pray in the name of Jesus. Amen"
