September 8, 2019 The Will of Jesus’ Name
/in 2019 Lord’s Day /by Youhyun Chang
Senior Overseer Kidong Kim
[Matthew 1:18-25]
God
is the Father of life and power.
To give His life and power to the world,
He sent His Only Begotten Son who dwelt in His Bosom (John 1:18).
He is the Immanuel.
He is Jesus.
The name ‘Jesus’ means ‘He will save His people from their sins.’
The Son of God
fulfills the name ‘Jesus’ on earth (John 1:12).
‘Jesus’ is the name of grace, truth and life (John 14:6).
‘Logos’ refers to the Word of truth (John 1:1).
Apart from the name ‘Jesus’, we cannot be saved.
There is no other name given under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12).
Firstly, be saved from your sins (Matt 9:2)
and be saved from the Law and your conscience which condemns you (1Cor 15:55-57).
Secondly, be healed from your sicknesses (Mark 16:17-18).
Seek no other method, because His name is healing (Rom 10:9).
Thirdly, be blessed at all costs (Luke 24:50-53).
Be blessed only with the blessing of God (John 20:19).
Jesus’ name means ‘absolutely perfect salvation’ (Matt 1:21).
The Holy Spirit testifies to this even today (John 15:26).
○ By calling on Jesus’ name,
are your sins not blotted out?
Have victory over all sins through Jesus’ name!
○ Drive out demons through Jesus’ name!
Be completely free from all your sicknesses!
Heal sicknesses through Jesus’ name! Do it!
○ Jesus’ name is perfect life and power.
God has not given any other salvation.
Those who have been saved through Jesus’ name are His saints.
※ Call on Jesus’ name!
Cry out to Him with all your strength!
Jesus’ name is your salvation!

Some people ask me if I have time to talk with them. People always request this of me. But I sometimes hesitate when they ask this. I have so little free time. I am constantly busy. Though I am in my room, I am busy with things to do. My body has no time for rest. Due to my earnest desire to always seek God’s inspiration, I am always so busy in spirit. And I also do my best not to indulge in the world’s seductive information so that my spirit will not become confused. I do this because I live only through the inspiration given by God’s Holy Spirit. I know the clock is ticking, and I know the sun rises and sets as it constantly revolves. This is all the more reason why I am so busy. I eagerly desire to write just one more book, and preach just one more sermon. I have work to do! If only I could do a little bit more! The truth has made its grasp over my life. The truth has kept my wheels constantly rolling. But now – I want to meet my friends, I want to meet my beloved saints, I want to write poetry, I want to draw paintings. I indeed have many friends around me. They all seek the glory from heaven. I am not in seclusion – but as one under God’s light – I desire to joyfully do the works God has given me. The one who decides my life is God alone. I desire to do whatever works He desires of me. If He desires to give me peace, I desire that also. If He desires that I suffer, I will endure it joyfully. I am not proud, but I am not ashamed of my life either. I always pray that things will not go according to my will, but according to God’s will. If God desires me to bear a certain path, I desire to bear that also. I ask that we all pray together, that Overseer Sung Hyun Kim will surely become a spiritual leader, full of the Holy Spirit. Though he may suffer great persecution and difficulties, walking on the same path of his father, this is the faith revealed by God. Not everyone can do this work. Only those who are chosen can surely do this work. First of all, the saints of Sungrak Church must gather their hearts together. Though storm and tempest blows upon us, we must be the church that does not stumble. How many fruitless fig trees have been among us? The typhoon has hit a few large branches of the tree and are no longer with us. But new branches will sprout, new leaves will come forth, and flowers and fruits will blossom. The wind has not yet stopped, but the truthful people of Sungrak Church are surely overcoming it. I pray that we all gather around the leadership of Overseer Sung Hyun Kim, and I pray that we constantly grow as One Church. This is for our own sakes, and for the sake of The Return to the Word Berea Movement. Amen. Semuon, 8th September 2019
