SEVEN STEPS OF REGENERATION AND THE MOVING SANCTUARY

    Thank you very much. Tonight we are going to study about two things, two subjects. All things in the universe have a certain formula just as there is a formula in mathematics. There is also a formula in the truth and order. The entire universe consists of order. God is a God of order. The entire universe moves in perfect order. In order for a certain plant to grow, there must be spring, winter, summer and autumn. There are seasons in order for those plants to grow and produce fruits, also there are other factors that contribute to their existence. Without going through this formula, even though we pray, fast, or whatever we do, it is of no use. They must go through all this certain formula. We also must go through a certain formula to go to heaven. The formula of our going to heaven is the same formula this earth was created through. Genesis 1:1~2.

    Reader: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

    Speaker: Yes. [In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was without form and void.] Why, why was the earth without form and void? [And the darkness was on the face of the deep.] Why? Because there was no God, but as soon as God came, what was created first?

Light.

     Second?

    Heavens or firmament.

    The heavens were made. Next, the earth and water, also vegetables and fruits were made on the same day. Fourth day? The sun and the moon were created. Next day? Birds and fishes. The sixth day?

    Animals and man.

    The seventh day was what?

    The Sabbath.

    After He made all things, our Father made the 7th day, a day He pours all blessings. This is the very formula we must go through to go to heaven. Everything must go through this formula. Without knowing this formula, even if you try to be regenerated and go to heaven, you cannot accomplish anything.

    Apostle Paul who had been such a violent and terrible person was completely regenerated through this formula, through these 7 steps of regeneration. These are the very seven steps for our regeneration. Apostle Paul had been so proud of being a member of the Orthodox church, God’s chosen church at that time. In order to be loyal to his God, he destroyed all Jesus’ apostles and disciples, beating up and killing people who had different faith. If they were almost to die, he told his people to beat them up more until blood sprinkled from people’s body, bleeding and rupturing with pain. As he watched those people being beaten mercilessly, after coming back home, as he laid on his bed; he thought to himself, “Is this the proper act of God’s people? Even wicked people of the world cannot do things like this. How come I am killing people so mercilessly? Is this a proper deed towards God’s children?” As he laid on his bed, his conscience was awakened, his heart was void and full of confusion, full of darkness, no form and void and darkness was in the depth of his heart. He was reminded of those people screaming for pain, whom he killed that day. Without form and void and with darkness in his heart, he threw himself on the bed. Do you know why he felt like that? Because there was no God in him. However big the church he is attending, there was no God in him.

Then, on the road to Damascus, heaven’s dazzling light, great light shone upon him. Jesus said,

    “Why do you persecute me?”

    Apostle Paul said, “Who are you?”

    “I am Jesus whom you are persecuting.”

    To speak one word against the child of God, is to mistreat or curse God Himself. That’s why it is a tremendous sin to mistreat one child of God.

Paul then looked up to heaven. He thought his church was the chosen church of God. He looked up to heaven, and he was told to go to the upper room where Jesus disciples were gathered. There in Damascus, he learned what is truth. There he learned to distinguish what is truth, what is error and found what land of truth he must stand and where he must escape from.

Fourth, in his heart, the sun of our Father, the moon of Jesus shone upon him. It began to rise in his heart. Wherever he went, he was always abiding with a light of heaven. Just like birds and fish, he became an international missionary who went around other countries to spread God’s love and Jesus’ love to the world.

    On the sixth stage, he became a true man. Before he was like a beast but he became a true human with God’s image. God said, “Let us beget man in our own image, after our likeness.” So anybody who has God’s image is a true human. No matter how big church one may belong to, how many years he may attended, no matter what position one may have, if one does not have God’s image, he is not human, but a beast. He became a true human and entered eternal rest.

Seventh step, he entered eternal rest saying, “Since I have finished the race, I have kept the faith, finally, there is laid up a golden crown for me in heaven.” Then he slept. Had Apostle Paul gone through these seven steps of regeneration? Yes, he did.

Israelites were also regenerated through these seven steps. When they were in bondage in Egypt, making bricks, they had no hope. Making bricks every day, beaten up by the Egyptians with no hope, their heart was without form and void and darkness was so deep. They were in distress sighing, “Ah, after I die making up bricks, hardly beaten, my children will continue to do it, and then my grandchildren will continue to do it again.” There was no hope at all, no Sabbath, no chance to talk with their children. Without hope they kept on sighing and God sent Moses to them. “My children I have not forsaken you forever, I will lead you back to the land of Canaan, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” As they realized that our Father did not leave them, they looked up to heaven. They were now given the light of heaven.

    On the first stage, they were given the light of heaven. Second, they could look up to heaven. After hundred of years, they could eventually look up to heaven. On the third stage, through Moses, God led them and taught them repeatedly one by one, what is truth; what is error, and fed them with the fruits and herb of His word. Then the sun of God, the moon of Jesus shone upon them. In pillars of fire and pillars of clouds, our Father and Jesus protected them, then fed them with manna. Eventually, they crossed the Red Sea just like birds and fishes. They crossed the red sea without boat and entered the land of Canaan, where was flowing milk and honey. War ceased and peace was upon the land. There was no battle anymore in the land and they entered rest in Canaan. Were the Israelites born again or regenerated through these seven steps?

    You also must go through this same path. Before you came, to this place of Elijah Gospel Missionary, whether you may have been a pastor, layman or priest or whatever you were before your coming here, the earth of your heart was without form and void, and darkness was so deep in your heart. But as you came to our Daddy, the light of our Father shone upon your heart then you looked up to heaven, and saw your Real Father and learned to discriminate between the land of truth and water of heresy, where to stand on, where to escape from. That’s why if you only put away all your stubbornness, useless pride and arrogance, you can distinguish whether this is real truth of heaven or not. Only three days is enough. On the third day, you can distinguish if this is true light of heaven or things from Satan. If you do not waste time in struggling with self-arrogance, but listen carefully with humble heart, you can stand on the truth and walk along with God hand in hand. It is said that pride is a whole armor of Satan which the fiery arrow of the Holy Spirit cannot pierce.

    So we became enabled to discern the land of truth, sea of error, eat the fruit of life, drink the water of life and the sun of our Father and moon of Jesus rose upon our heart. Is that right? Our soul became just like birds and fishes, dancing in joy, flying to the world and singing together with joy after finding our Daddy’s love. We started singing songs of joy like swimming fish in the water and flying birds in the air and like a calf set free from the stall we go out to the world with joy. We came out as true human with God’s image, and we entered peace and liberty. We entered eternal rest, with perfect peace of Daddy in our heart. So if you only keep Daddy in your heart, no matter where you go, you will always be bright.

    Once I visited our brother who was put into prison by his family members. As I visited him, he was coming out with a bright face. People in the prison could not understand him, why he was so bright all the time. While other prisoners were sighing and complaining about their situation, he was always humming songs joyfully saying, “Oh, how thankful I am,” even in the prison. This is the true opening of eternal rest, the fulfillment of Jesus’ promise which He said, “I will give you peace which the world cannot give.” This is the true peace which the world cannot give. 

    This earth like you, must be regenerated also. Why must this earth be born again or regenerated? Why? Because we will live on this earth forever. How can we live in this corrupt filthy world? This earth must be regenerated and transformed into paradise again, so that we may live here forever.

    So regeneration means to be completely transformed into a different world. Just as we are to be regenerated as God’s children so this earth also must be regenerated and transformed into paradise, for us to live here forever. Then how can this earth be transformed into paradise? It must also go through these seven steps.

    First, in time of Adam and Eve, they became doomed to death due to rejecting Daddy’s love. Doubting Daddy’s love, the more they walked away from Daddy, the closer they were going to destruction. Adam and Eve, such a lovely pair who used to love each other so strongly began to fight with each other saying,

    “Because of you I became doomed to death. You made me like this.”

“Why did you eat the forbidden fruit? Why did you eat them? Why didn’t you let me die alone?”

So they began to fight with one another.

    Apart from our Daddy even two persons are too many. So they always fought with one another. Then they said, “Let us not fight anymore.” Walking towards death saying hopelessly, “Let us just die together.” The earth of their heart was without form and void and in deep darkness, going towards death. The quicker they made their steps, the closer they approached death. Just then, God gave them the light of Genesis 3:15. “My children, I have not forsaken you forever. I will give away my holy Son Jesus to redeem you and turn you back to this paradise.” Our Daddy gave them the great light of hope. “Ah, our Daddy has not forsaken us forever. He is going to save us, redeem us again, through the death of Jesus.” Filled with joy, they looked up to heaven. Then Adam established a home sanctuary, and he implored his children not to repeat their example. He implored them everyday, “My children, please do not become like me. Please do not doubt our Daddy’s love. Please believe in His love. Don’t be like us, because we doubted His love, we became like this.” He always petitioned them never to doubt the Father’s love because his unbelief made him fall. From then on our Father always protected His children. Thus Jesus fed them with the fruits and herb of the Father’s word.

On the day of Pentecost, they received the former rain of the Holy Spirit, and just like swimming fish and flying birds, they diligently saved the world running here and there.

   In the last days, by the coming of the latter rain of the Holy Spirit, all people will be regenerated in the image of God. So after 6,000 years the earth will enter into eternal rest in 7,000th year in heaven. Thus the earth will be born the second time.  

    That’s why, how many days did I tell you to be patient?

    Reader: Three days.

    Speaker: Only three days. By keeping yourself patient only for three days, you obtained eternal life. Those people who are impatient, and proud all just went away. Somebody came to me saying, “Teacher why don’t you start gently on the first three days?” How come they say like that? Please, don’t tell me to speak gently on the first three days. Far from it, to start with tender manner is to ruin this work. Have you ever seen farmers beating their grains softly on their threshing floor? They beat them up as hard as they can so that all the chaffs may be blown away. Farmers love their crops so much just like themselves. If any animal tramples on them, they feel terribly upset. Why? Because they put so much effort on crops as they plant them. But if the harvest time comes, on the threshing day, they suddenly become merciless. They just beat them up, thresh them mercilessly, spin them without care, whether they will be broken or torn, in order for the chaff to be blown away and only wheat to remain.

    Do you think I am threshing you at random? I never let a single grain be blown away. Only chaffs are blown away. If ever a grain is blown away along with a chaff, it is turn back for sure. If any grain is blown away then I pick it up. “Oh, a grain dropped here” so I pick it up and bring it back. Do you think this is just an ordinary Bible seminar where the speaker is just speaking like a street merchant? You must not misunderstand this place as an ordinary Bible seminar.

    I heard that a Japanese botanist can tell what kind of nutrition is being absorbed by a growing rice plant whether nitrogen, phosphorous or calcium and supply what is lacking and bring richest harvest. The lecturer here, the speaker here is also the same. I told you, I am not the speaker. I am only His assistant. The lecturer here already knows what is going on in your heart, whether you want to go back or not. When everybody is praying, some people are coming in and going out but He is watching everyone with strict care. If somebody is hopeless, He says to our brethren, “Why don’t you take that person to the bus station? He might want to go back home.” If they ask him, he says, “Oh, yes I want to go back home.” The lecturer here knows everyone’s situation, what is going on in your heart.

    So, in order for us to be born again, for us to be regenerated, seven days is enough. Only for seven days, we can be regenerated and be sent out to the world as pastors and assistant pastors. However, in those theological schools, they cannot regenerate even one person for seven years. They only destroy those young energetic people and kill them by teaching devilish doctrines. Do you believe our Father’s power which regenerated Jesus disciples completely just for ten days in the upper room two thousand years ago? Do you believe that God has the same power today? He is the same yesterday, today, and eternally.

    How can there be such a God who cannot even regenerate one person for 4 or 7 years, or in spite of their going to church all their life time? But seven days is enough in order for us to be regenerated.

If only you don’t have rejection feeling, ten days is not necessary, seven days is enough. The reason why we remain here for ten days is because for the first three days your heart must be brought here. For the first three days, your minds are far away although you are sitting here. That’s why your hearts must be brought here then, our Daddy starts regenerating us. If any of you started listening to this lecture with rejection feeling or prejudice saying, “Ah, I think this is probably right message,” this kind of person must come to next meeting again. If you from the first day kneel down before real Daddy and listen to Him with humble heart you will be changed completely.

    When I was having this meeting in Kyoung-son province, there was a person who came. He had been studying so hard to pass the judicial examination to be a lawyer or a judge. He had been studying until forty years of age, without supporting his family. His wife supported and worked for the family. Studying so hard, he became almost disabled person, like walking skin and bones. Filled with joy on the last day, he asked me a question, “Teacher Park, didn’t God command us to keep the Sabbath Holy? Then why did He tell the Israelites to destroy Jericho on the seventh day?” That was a good question. God told us not to do any work on the seventh day, then why did He tell the Israelites to destroy Jericho on the seventh day? What a good question it was. This is how I answered.

    God did not let Israelites do a work of destroying Jericho on the seventh day. What kind of city was Jericho? It was a city of Satan where the inhabitants were so dreadful. They are a people who took pleasure in killing people. So our Father let the Israelites do a work of saving people from Jericho. He let them do a work of saving people in Jericho on the seventh day, destroying Satan. So on the seventh day, we can do also missionary work. After how many days was Jericho destroyed? After seven days. You are also the same.

    I am also fighting not with Satan in the world but Satan inside your hearts. Inside your heart was a huge castle of Jericho. Satan established it in your heart and it was standing against Me saying, “No matter what comes into my heart, I am going to fight with it.” But as you gave your heart to me, I went inside and destroyed that Jericho. Now has Jericho been destroyed? Since Jericho was already destroyed, I came into your heart and established our Father’s kingdom. But in your heart also lives prostitute Rahab. I let her live, I did not destroy her.

    In Jericho, the prostitute called Rahab, what did she do? She helped God’s children. She helped God’s children who were sent to Jericho as spies. In your heart also is living Rahab and her family members. God commanded the Israelites to destroy everyone, old and young, men and women, everybody in Jericho. So this Son of God also entered your heart and destroyed all the sins, small and big, young and adult sins in your heart. But I did not destroy your good conscience, like Rahab who begged you, “Ah, please don’t go. Don’t go.” As you tried to go away, the good conscience in your heart said, “Ah, please be patient. Why don’t you stay just for ten days?” That good conscience made you stay here. That’s why I left her and her family members.

    Why is Rahab a prostitute? Because she helps you when you are doing good deeds and when you are doing evil deeds. That’s why she is a prostitute. Now our Father destroyed the double walled Jericho in your heart, and established a heaven’s paradise in your heart. After the destruction of Jericho, our Father told the Israelites to offer everything to God. However Achan took something in secret so he was stoned to death. Since our Father destroyed everything in your heart, you must give everything in your heart to our Daddy. If you steal something like Achan saying, “Ah, I can use this little thing for myself,” our Father will forsake you forever. If you have Achan rising in your heart you must kill him right away. So you must preserve the heavenly kingdom that our Daddy established in your heart.

    There are some people who still go to Satan’s meeting after coming from this place saying, “Ah, after this meeting, I will go to the prayer meeting over there.” Those who have no chastity like this people, never let them come here. They are those who follow the mediums of Satan.

After our Father destroyed Jericho, He declared to the Israelites, “If anyone establishes or lays a foundation in this city, he will lose his first son. If he erects door frames and continues, his second son will also die.” Then it came true.

    Now if you also try to establish that Jericho in your heart again, which our Father has already destroyed, if you try to establish that devil city in your heart again, then the first and second sons of you character will be destroyed. Our Father will not establish heavenly paradise in your heart anymore. You must only keep our Daddy’s established kingdom in your heart forever. You must not give your heart to Jericho again and do not accept the false teachings of the world.

Is it interesting? Is it interesting or not? If you can learn just one of these things in those theological schools, even just once for four or seven years period, if there is only one kind of person in those theological school who can teach us even one of these things once in four or seven years period, it is not a loss to pay the entire registration fee for the entire seven years. But sad to say, you can never hear things like this even one hour in those theological colleges. Do you know how tremendous amount of blessing you received here? Yet, people say, ‘Ah, there must be something wrong with this message.” Then they leave and go away. That’s truly the miracle of all miracles. I wish I could be so stupid just for five minutes.

    Is there something wrong with the picture? How nice picture it is. What is wrong? I did not even go to art school, but what a nice picture it is for me.

    When our Daddy saw that His lovely children became doomed to death, when He saw His children suffering, starving and naked, wandering in hunger, suffering all kinds of hardship and struggles and trials in this world, our Daddy could not consider heaven a place to stay. So He came down to this earth, to tumble with us and dwell with us. No matter what I say to you, just believe. I hope you do not add nor subtract from what I say. It’s up to you if you want to add or subtract, but the time will come when you will regret.

    Although there may be failures, as you obey and believe my words, at the end, our Father will give you great rewards and abundant treasures at the end. Sometimes when we obey God’s word and go forward, we experience failures and tribulations and trials on the way, but our Father will give tremendous blessings at the end. As you experience failure, you must never say that you are deceived or cheated by God. Our Father holds Himself responsible for taking us to heaven. If we only obey Him, He will be responsible. Even if we die, He will take us to heaven.

    “Ah, God forsook the heavenly throne, came down to this earth and tumbled with us? Live in the tabernacle, in the tent together with His children? How can it be?” Alright let’s then ascertain if it is true or not. Let’s open the Bible, Exodus 25:1.

    Reader: The Lord spoke to Moses saying,

    Speaker: Verse 8.

    Reader: Let them make me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them. According to all that I show you, that is, the pattern of tabernacle and the pattern of all its furnishings, just so you shall make it.

Speaker: [The Lord said to Moses saying, let them make a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.] Who asked them to make a sanctuary and for whom? Our Daddy said, “Please let them make a sanctuary, a tabernacle, so that I can dwell with you. I cannot remain in heavenly throne. As I lost my children, I want to stay with you together, suffer with you together on this earth.” Did God say these things or not?

    Even if people go to those kinds of churches thousand of years, can they learn these kinds of things? They only think that God is sitting only on His heavenly throne without doing anything for us. But this is our Real Daddy who came down from heaven just for us, to live with us. Is the God of Old Testament a God of sword? No! He is not a God of sword. He never killed anybody. He Himself was killed. Those people who died, He never killed them, He just let them sleep out of mercy and love.

    Once a person is crazy and screaming for pain, that His stage is incurable. If he lives long, left alone in pain and misery without dying, it is a most cruel treatment. So if a person is crazy, screaming for pain and incurable, He must be killed out of mercy.

    So our Daddy asked the Israelites to make a sanctuary for Him that He may dwell with them forever. Do you now believe that God has come down to this earth to live with us together? So He said, make everything according to what I have told you. Please read from verse 10.
