[사랑의교회] 이보다 큰일도 하리니 - 오정현 목사

It's already December. On a day like this, I hope we can look back on our shortcomings and talk about them so that we can realize the Lord's deep heart. I sincerely hope that this will be a precious worship service. Today, I'm wrapping up the 30th episode of the series, The Recovery, Overcoming the Recovery. As I wrap up this series, I have a small request as a witness. As I wrap up this series, after the pandemic, there is something that has come over the Korean church. That is, skepticism. Spiritual decadence, pessimism, and cold-bloodedness. I'm so sorry about this. Of course, this is because the worship service was difficult during the pandemic. Because of this, many churches have not been able to recover from the previous state. But there are times when I find it difficult to see the future of the church. So I want to restore the ability to build a fence between skepticism and defeatism. Once again, I hope that you and I can declare and express the history of hope that you make us realize through your words for the future of the Korean church. Today's title is, Will you do something bigger than this? If we can do this, the first thing we should think about is, where do you and I get our strength from? Some people say it's the power of information. Some people say it's the power of relationships and positions. Where do Christians get their strength from? Today, on the first Sunday of December, where do you and I and our church get our strength from? Where have we been getting our strength from? What does the 16th verse say? I will ask my Father, and he will give you another Savior. In other words, another Savior, the original Savior is Jesus Christ. Isn't that right? While the Lord is in the world, He is with us, serving His disciples, training them, healing them, restoring them, saving the dead. He is with us. The original Savior, The word Savior means someone who helps us. Someone who helps us together. But another Savior, another helper. The original Savior is Jesus Christ. Jesus says, I will now ascend. After I ascend, I will give you another Savior. And if I give you another Savior, what comes next is, I will make you be together with me forever. This is a very mysterious statement. I want you to confirm this statement. The word Savior means someone who is with us. And it's not just about being together. The 17th verse says, I will make you be together with me, and I will give you another Savior. The word Savior means someone who is with us. Someone who is with us. Someone who is together with us. Someone who is in us. And what do you do when you are with us and in us? After you realize this, if you look at the 3rd chapter of the Gospels, the Holy Spirit who is with us, what does He do with us? First, if you look at the 3rd chapter of the Gospels, what does the spirit of sin do to us? It is the spirit of salvation. It is very precious. Even if you are in despair, even if you are in a miserable situation, even if you fall and die on the path of life, when you contact and communicate with the Holy Spirit, you receive the light of the Holy Spirit, you become new, you gain strength, and you come back to life. The so-called power of salvation. And the Holy Spirit, what does He do in the 3rd chapter of the Gospels, and what does He do in the 17th chapter? It says, Where there is the Spirit of the Lord, what is there? There is freedom. When things that are suppressed and suppressed become depressed and tired, when the Spirit of the Lord is in us, He even blesses us to be free even in the midst of addiction. This is now the decisive spirit of salvation, the spirit of freedom, this is now the decisive, very powerful, very powerful, we are reciting the 8th chapter of Romans, the 10th chapter of Paul. Let's read it together. The Spirit of the Lord, who dwells in you, hallelujah. Those of you who are having a hard time while praying today, just take it as a mysterious word that will kill you. Then you will be saved from death. Something amazing is happening in the spiritual dimension that we do not know about. The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of the Holy Spirit, will save you from death and those of you who are having a hard time will be saved from death. The Spirit of the Lord, who dwells in you, will save you from death and those of you who are having a hard time will be saved from death. For this reason, today we are reading the 14th chapter of John, the 12th chapter of John. At first, it is hard to understand what this means. It says, I have come to you What it means is when I say something really important, truly, truly, I say it to you. When I say hello, I say amen, amen. This is the truth. Amen, amen. I have come to you. Those who believe in me will do what the Lord does. They will do even greater things than what the Lord does. I dare to say this to you. In the previous chapter, it says, I dare to say this to you. They will do even greater things than what the Lord does. This is amazing. It is hard to understand. Once again, what is John's gospel? John's gospel is not a simple word. It is not a simple text. John's gospel is a mysterious word. It is the word of God. What kind of word is it? It is the word of God. Today, for modern Christians who do not know the world of God, John's gospel may seem unfamiliar. Even scholars who study John's gospel or those who study Hella and Wonson cannot fully understand the depth of God's word and the world of God. The word of God, the unfamiliar word, is the word of God. When God is with us, in us, and gives us the power to show us from above, we can be enlightened and awaken what this word means. This word is like a diamond in a precious ring in the spiritual world. When we hear this word, we ask, Can I do this? But that is not the point. The point is whether we can do something big or not. That is not the point. When God's spirit is with us, can we do something bigger than God? That is the key. You may not understand what I am saying. In fact, how can we do something bigger than God? It is an absurd and absurd word. It is an amazing word. But when this word, the word of God, when this word, the word of God, God opens the door of heaven and brings you the word you need, this word can be the bomb for the world, for our world, for our country. for our country, It can be a great revelation It can be a powerful revelation It's not about whether you can do it or not When the Lord makes you realize this and when the Spirit of the Lord pours from above with us There are three things the Lord does He is with us He is in us and He pours from above When this happens the dimension of life that we can't even imagine unfolds Specifically, what does it mean to do something bigger than the Lord? There are three things First, when we look at the scale and duration of the sacrifice Second, when we look at the object of the sacrifice Third, when we look at the method of the sacrifice For example, if we talk about the scale and duration of the sacrifice The earthly sacrifice on the land of Jesus was done near the land of Judah But we have been doing the earthly sacrifice all over the world including Jerusalem, Judah, and the land We are doing the earthly sacrifice as the five great kings and the six great lords As I said in the 16th chapter of the book of Mark we are doing the earthly sacrifice all over the world And the Lord has given us three and a half years to live But we can work for more time, 70 years, 80 years, and 100 years until the Lord restores us In the scale and duration of the sacrifice The object of the sacrifice is Jesus raised his disciples and the people of Palestine who listened to Jesus at that time It was limited to them But today, we can do the earthly sacrifice to much more people Later, the Apostle Peter told us to deal with the history of thousands of people In the case of the pastor Billy Graham when he delivered the gospel to 500,000 and 1,000,000 people the history of tens of thousands of people came together So the object of the sacrifice is different And it starts from the slaves, not just one group and delivers the gospel to the kings and the lords In Korea, among the scope and object of the sacrifice in Korea, it's been hundreds of years since we've been able to change the national religion It's amazing There aren't many cases like this around the world And in terms of the way of the sacrifice In the days of Jesus, the way of the sacrifice had to be delivered like this At that time, it was like a road and a rice field But what is it now? There's the Internet and SNS Now that we have smartphones the way of the sacrifice has completely changed So, it's not about the salvation and the quality of the sacrifice and the amazing way of the Lord's imprisonment Again, it's about the size of the sacrifice, the object of the sacrifice, and the way of the sacrifice It's about dealing with a bigger sacrifice on both sides Who will do this? Let's look at verse 12 again Who will do this? I will tell you the truth, and those who believe in me will believe in me In the Old Testament, certain people The history of the Holy Spirit was given to certain people David, Samson, and other people with a lot of sins and they left if they did something wrong But in the New Testament, when the Holy Spirit of the Lord, the so-called universal history of the Holy Spirit, was given to us Those who believe in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord and accept the Word of God as the Word of God and accept the Word of God will have this history Anyone who believes in me So, anyone who believes in me and confesses Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord In other words, anyone who believes and longs for recovery and recovery for the past 30 weeks will be able to do this And even if you don't understand what I'm telling you today I wonder what will happen to us when the Holy Spirit reveals this to you in your own words, in your own language, in the language of the Holy Spirit I've been told this since I was young I don't have a partner But this amazing Word of God came to me in a mysterious language And when I received this Word, when I claimed this Word, when I held this Word, when I knelt down in front of this Word I was able to overcome so many waves in my life When this Word was confessed to me I was able to overcome so many trials and tribulations There's something I want to ask you What is the biggest problem you or I have today? Confidence and assurance that will never be submerged in the waves of the world Confidence and assurance that will never shake in any earthquake of life So I want to ask you this I will pray for what I do And I will do something bigger than that I want you to receive this Word in your own words So I'm not proclaiming this Word I'm receiving this Word from the Holy Spirit I'm not asking you to do something I'm not asking you to do something bigger than Jesus I'm not asking you to do something wrong I'm not good enough But because the one who said this is the Lord Because the Lord gives me the power to realize and practice this Word For example, to make disciples in all walks of life How do we make disciples in all walks of life? We don't just do nothing We don't just make disciples in all walks of life Because the Lord has given us all the power in heaven and earth You should go and make disciples in all walks of life So what is the source of power? It is the Lord who told us to make disciples in all walks of life So in the 9th verse of the 12th verse I can do something bigger than myself It means to experience all the spiritual resources that God has prepared for you in life Again To make you do something bigger than me Experience all the spiritual resources that God has prepared for you through the Holy Spirit In other words, As you live your lives If you have never used the power of the Holy Spirit and prayer from God Then it's so.. Like I said Last time, there was a miracle in our life Every miracle that the Bible shows I believe it happened when it was connected to the history of life and blessings Why can't we experience it when we are told that we are doing a greater work than the Lord? God has given us all the religious resources but we can't open our eyes to it No, we can't say that We can't say that We can't do miracles because we don't believe in the Lord and we don't want to experience it To sum it up, it's the first week of December At the end of the year, I make a wish to myself I believe that everyone has a great possibility I don't mean to encourage anyone That's what humans do We don't do it, but we realize the mission and spiritual language that the Holy Spirit gives us and we put our hearts into it That's what I mean While I was preparing for this talk, I thought, why do people say that they do a greater work than the Lord? Wouldn't it be heart-pounding? Why is the life of faith so hard? Why is there so much skepticism, pessimism, defeatism, and cold-heartedness in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic? God has given us this amazing and glorious great work Why can't we take it as our own? While I was reading the 11th and 13th chapters, I thought, oh, this is not right In the 11th and 13th chapters, there is a saying Let me read it for you Elisha, the king of Israel, struck the ground three times and stopped Elisha was a real prophetess in the kingdom of Israel in the north The king was called Joas There was a king named Joas in the south and a king named Joas in the north Joas really depended on Elisha Elisha was on the brink of death She was almost dying Joas came to Elisha and shed tears He said, Israel's disease and disease Do you remember? Israel's disease and disease He was in so much pain In the north, Israel was invaded by a huge empire called the Kingdom of Aram The country was in a state of turmoil But Elisha was there to stop it If Elisha dies, what will happen to her? Joas was in so much pain He asked, what will happen to Israel's disease and disease? Elisha told him to strike the ground with the arrow of salvation How many times did King Joas strike the ground? He struck the ground three times Elisha was so sad King, God's people have sinned Elisha has sinned The king should have struck the ground six times If he had done so, the king would have destroyed the Kingdom of Aram He struck the ground three times He could have defeated the Kingdom of Aram He could have defeated the King of Aram But he was so sad Then how does this relate to John the Baptist's words today? After hearing this, Do you think you can do it? Do you think you can live with grace? He struck the ground three times But this is my word Even if it's hard and difficult, this is my word With this word, even if I have a lot of difficulties in my life I will strike the ground five times, six times, even seven times At the end of the year, God will give you a voice Don't give up It's not my power, it's the power of the Holy Spirit that goes from the top to the bottom I was always lacking, but this became one of the big promises to me What am I? I'm nothing When I pray in my name, when I pray before God When I rely on the power of the Holy Spirit and pray before God I will do something bigger than that I'm a little cautious I'm a young college student I wasn't even a college student at that time Nevertheless, I was in charge of the college department I was in charge of the largest college department in our church I'm not good enough, I'm so poor But I have weaknesses and I'm poor But even among all those things, I couldn't do it properly So there was a deputy in our college department His name was a deputy named Jeong In-deul He was a famous Korean deputy at that time He issued a petition He issued a petition at that time For a year and a half, I held a sermon called The Desire for God and the Answers every week It was a wedding on March 1st, 1982 I put it in front of the wedding day The deputy said, If you don't do it now, you won't be able to go for a while On the day of the wedding So even now, on the day of the wedding I was writing that petition until 2 a.m. on March 1st How important is a wedding? But the wedding was just a short visit Even now, I... So the priest arranged a wedding for me But I never got married Because I didn't get married on the day of the wedding I never got married Now that I read that letter Even now, it's still hot Even now, it's still... I was 26 years old How could I write that when I was 26? So I... Oh, it was March 1st, 1982 For 10 years since March 1st, 1982 Korean churches have been doing a great service When people talk about this They think about whether they can do it or not It's not that If you are with me today If you are in my heart If you are watching from above If you believe in history If you open your eyes to the mysterious language God is working Those who believe in me will do the work I do I will do something bigger than that The target of baptism The scope of baptism The period of baptism A lot of things are happening Everyone, through these words I sincerely hope that the wrong skepticism and defeatism in Korean churches will be overcome once again For 10 years since the 1980s Who told me in the mid-1980s? Korean churches are so... At that time, Gangnam was There was a buzzword in Gangnam in the mid-1980s Do you know what it is? Don't you go to church yet? This was the buzzword At some point, I felt a little lacking Now I'm going to do it again I can hit it six or seven times I want you to give us the grace to hit the arrow of the mission Then I will apply this Everyone, again It's not hitting with my own strength It's hitting with the will of the word like a peddler The arrow of the word you give us It's hitting with the arrow of the mission This word is our center line How do you hit it with that? Personally Among the people who live in Gangnam Some of you will be in the top 1% here In terms of society or academics There will be a so-called top 1% in various aspects But most of us, 99%, are ordinary people But even if we seem to be nothing to others Receive this word from God The arrow of the word in your life The moment you hit it six or seven times Something will change In that case, an ordinary couple will not waste their lives And an ordinary couple has a mission Raising children with faith After taking the children to the early morning worship before Saturday When you hit it once, twice, six times God will work through those children When you hit the arrow six times for your life God will work And what I thought more last week What's on the door of our apartment There is a church called the Church of Love This became our identity in a way When I put the church on it and there is a middle class above Can you hum from below? So I It's a symbol Those of you who believe in me When the Holy Spirit is with us, in us When you pour from above, when you believe in this And in the days of youth, in the days of violence, it's nothing But when you hold on to this word and go through all the processes At first, there was nothing in the Korean church But there was a scene where God worked for 10, 20 years With a wish in your heart I think most of our church members I know you're putting the church on the Church of Love There are people who couldn't put it on because of the situation There will be a lot of people who moved and couldn't put it on From today, put the church on I've prepared a lot outside Take it with you when you go out If you don't know how to put the church on You can take it off and put it on This will give you a great identity It's not just a matter of love It's a matter of pride as a member of the Korean church It's a matter of identity like you Do something bigger than me With the attitude of not missing this mission in any case Maybe when you listen to me and apply it When you take out the people who don't have a church badge and put it on I don't think it's anything I'm going to change you The Christians in the Korean church have weakened I hope you will be healed through these things Don't take two or three when you go out Take only one If you get this grace, you won't be disappointed even if you get a fight You won't be ruined even if you get hit upside down Most people fall down If you hold on to the word that you can do something bigger than Jesus If you have hope in the Lord, you won't fall down Whether others know or not Be humble in front of the Lord Raising children properly God is the one who takes responsibility for that life The same goes for church For the past year, we have been eagerly praying for the restoration of the church And God, as a result Last year, on the day of the baptism in Korea on September 26th We gathered 5,500 pastors and held a two-day rally On October 23rd, we gathered more than 7,000 pastors We held a two-day rally And we served 7,500 churches It's not because we did a good job It's because we had a wish that the Lord would let us do what the Lord does So from now on, 7,000 churches will be platformed Next year, it will be 10,000 churches When 10,000 churches are platformed We are not enough, but there are many precious things that God has given us If we make a special tax, let's make a special tax together And then, let's reduce the life of the resurrection to the diagonal If we plan to leave the church on the day of the resurrection, let's plan to leave the church together And I made a wish in my heart Next year, on the day of the resurrection, how many eggs will we prepare? A million And let's send 10,000 churches together Let's plan to leave the church together Let's pray together for six months So, 10,000 churches and 7,000 churches will be platformed together We originally planned to leave the church with 40,000 people Next year, we will plan to leave the church with at least 100,000 people And then, we will plan to leave the church with 200,000 people And then, we will plan to leave the church with 400,000 people And then, we will plan to leave the church with 1,000,000 people We believe that God will bless us So, it's not just about making a circle No matter how difficult it is for Korean churches Compared to the early, mid, and late 70s of the 80s Is the environment better now? It's much better In the early, mid, and late 70s Korean churches had Jjajangmyeon restaurants on the 2nd floor Every time I went to worship, I smelled Jjajangmyeon So many people were tempted What should I eat? I should eat the Word I should eat something bigger than me If you think about it, you can see it now It's all over the world The environment has gotten so much better But there are no native birds I'm not emphasizing the native birds It's time to shoot an arrow We have 7,000 prayer warriors in the midst of prayer We pray for 7,000 people What I thought when I was praying was Hey, 7,000 people, is it enough to just pray for adults? Let's have 7,000 prayer warriors in the next generation This is the title of prayer for the church And as we do it, we get more grace God, the fourth generation of our faith We have to pray like this God, the fourth generation of our faith We have to pray like this How many in total? Can't you count? 7,000, 7,000, 7,000, 7,000 28,000 If 28,000 prayer warriors start to form in the Church of Love Will our country prosper? And next year, if 10,000 churches join together We may not be enough, but with the heart of serving If each church has prayer warriors Will our country prosper? Is this the only answer you can give? If 10,000 churches join together and do something bigger than me No, the Lord will do it Can we trust this and do it together? This is what we can trust Again, what I can do and what I can't do is not the key In 1982, when there was nothing As I said earlier, the wedding is not the main thing The wedding is just a visit With that in mind What will God do when we fight for power? There is the power of American churches all over the world Churches that are established all over the world in political, economic, social, economic, cultural areas Korean churches are still the number two in the Korean society If Korean churches go right away, Korean people will go right away It's the same for Korean people Individuals, churches, and our people I'm praying Lord, let us be unified in 2030 Can't you pray? I'm praying for specialization in Pyongyang in seven years If God needs it, He will give it to history Again, it's not about 7,000 prayer warriors 7,000, 7,000, 7,000, 7,000 prayer warriors What can we do for this? Today, in verse 13 and 14, it says If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it It's such a mysterious saying It's not about possibility thinking When there is the history of the Holy Spirit If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it The Holy Spirit's history is only received by special people But the faith has a universal history If we open our hearts and believe in God If we have faith, God will work In the Old Testament, it was said not to turn off the lamp of the temple Samuel's mission was not to turn off the lamp of the temple When God appeared to Samuel When Samuel did not turn off the lamp When he played his role God played the role of making history of Samuel and building a multi-religion country What is not turning off the lamp of our life today? That's prayer When we become 7,000 prayer warriors Our lamp of life will not be turned off This vision will not be weakened Moravian priests realized this They did not turn off the lamp of prayer for 100 years They played an honorable role in opening the door to the world of the Bible They worked with St. James the Baptist Dr. Aletore, who worked with D.L. Moody Chicago Moody Synagogue and Biola University in L.A. They built a prayer foundation every Saturday for 3 years When the grace went to the British Catholic Church In July 1902, when 5,000 priests went to the Catholic Church The power of prayer went to India Then it went to Pyongyang I believe it led to the revival of the Korean church Do not turn off the lamp of prayer where God's presence and God's guidance are Through the prayer of the Holy Spirit So today, because of this time I pray that the Korean church and I will allow each and every one of you to be blessed with a great blessing that will strengthen the foundation of the grace that goes beyond recovery Open your hands and leave the work of God to me, a prayer warrior Not once, not three times Unfortunately, not three times Five times, six times, seven times I hope you will be blessed with the arrow of the word of prayer To me, a prayer warrior After I became a prayer warrior To me, a water warrior After I became a water warrior I receive the word of God as it is To me, a word warrior I receive the word of God as it is I will put my hand on my heart and pray Father God, who is merciful I believe that the Holy Spirit of the Lord, who pours from above, has given us the true power When we have this power All the skepticism, defeatism, and pessimism will be completely destroyed With these words, once again I ask you to allow the Korean church to experience the power of hitting the arrow of the word of prayer six or seven times Also, I ask you to restore the faith, loyalty, and passion to bet on life I believe that the Korean church should go right away so that the people can go right away Not only the 60,000 churches of the Korean church but also ourselves, the invisible church, should go right away So that the direction of the people can be reflected in a new way Please pour the grace upon the grace Hallelujah If there is anyone who is in a difficult environment Please completely restore them with these words I pray earnestly in the name of Jesus Christ Amen
