Liberate Me, the Family Line from Darkness (Romans 7:4-6)
Rev. Kwang-Su Ryu
“4 Therefore, my brethren, you also have become dead to the law through the body of Christ, that you may be married to another—to Him who was raised from the dead, that we should bear fruit to God. 5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were aroused by the law were at work in our members to bear fruit to death. 6 But now we have been delivered from the law, having died to what we were held by, so that we should serve in the newness of the Spirit and not in the oldness of the letter.”
Introduction
Many of our organizations have joined us in worship. You know the mystery must we hold onto now? We have many people listening to the message overseas, what do we need to seek out to receive answers in our fields and nation? Thankfully, we have a lot of overseas workers who have joined us in our worship. We must discover this, how can we receive answers and save others? Evangelizing for 40 years and the answers that I have received now, I want to organize all of that during this year’s World Missions Convention conference. If we can confirm God’s word then you will receive the same answers in the Bible. We must find the important reason through today’s Biblical passage. If you don’t know the reason then you cannot have the solution. There was someone who kept going in and out of prison but he was such a good person. This person came to know Jesus and one day, I can’t find that person. That person went to prison again. Some people may criticize that person but they don’t tell that person the answer to their problems. Some people are addicted to alcohol and they cannot work. They are in a state where they cannot work. If we look at those people, they look so unfortunate but we must be able to see and give them the answer. There are some people who have gambling addiction that has destroyed their families. The problems that come down in your family line, they are tormenting you and your family members. We must solve this. Many missionaries have come today but if we can’t solve these problems, then there is no meaning to your mission work. Many nations and multi ethnic expedience problems but we are not talking about them. No matter how many events and ceremonies we hold, it is not helpful to them at all. We say that we live for the word of God but these problems are not being solved. They are so tormented that their problems that they end up committing suicide. We must listen to the word of God well today. Don’t listen to my words but we must listen carefully to God’s word. Apostle Paul made a confession. We must keep God’s word and abide within it. Back in the days, we used to live by the law and had to abide by it. We are no longer under the captivity of the law but Paul said that your husband passed away but when your husband was alive, you had to live according to the law of your husband but after he passed away, you no longer have to live under your husband’s law. We are no longer slaves to sin but to righteousness. Paul made an important confession.
Romans 7:15-18 “For what I am doing, I do not understand. For what I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do. 16 If, then, I do what I will not to do, I agree with the law that it is good. 17 But now, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.” - Paul made this confession. There are two sides inside of me, I want to live out the good but there is evil in me. This was the confession and words of Paul, this was the confession that he made to the believers. Romans 7:19-23 “For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. 20 Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me. 21 I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. 22 For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. 23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.” - Paul was speaking such astounding words and confessions. Romans 7:24 - Paul said this. Who can deliver him from this, the body of death? Paul spoke of this. Paul gave a tremendous answer in Romans 7:25 “I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.” - It is not enough for me. This is why I need Christ. The problems inside of me, I cannot solve on my own. The Christ that God gave to me, I am so thankful. From me, I found my answer. You must find your answer as well. The spiritual problems, you cannot solve. You are so troubled by it. People cannot comfort you. The problems will get worse and worse. You must find your answer today. Paul spoke of this three times and prayed about it, what did Paul pray about it? Paul couldn’t tell if he was in the body or out of it. This was how much Paul prayed. This was how deeply Paul prayed. He spoke about the grace of God. Paul said that there are two sides inside of me. Inside of him, there was unbelief. This was what Paul confessed as a believer. Simply put, inside of you, there are things imprinted in you. Why do you get cancer? It is because of things imprinted in you. There are things spiritually imprinted in us. As a believer, we must defeat it. There are people who can’t receive answers inside of that and are completely destroyed by their problems. There are many people who have fallen into trials inside of their church. Inside of us, there are things imprinted in us that bring us trouble. Things are hard in the world as well in the church. There are many people who tell you that this or that will help you in the church but that drives you deeper into your problems. Paul couldn’t tell if he was in the body or not, and whether he was in heaven or Earth. This was how deeply Paul prayed. Paul said this three times. A renowned person like Paul prayed like this then how must I pray? For me, I held onto God’s covenant, I didn’t just pray but in the mornings, I wake up at 5:00AM. I depart from my house at 7:00AM so I have two hours left. Within those two hours, I move around my house and when I am moving around, I pray deeply and gain strength from God. Anyone can do this. You don’t have to go to the mountains to pray. You can’t do this every single day. You can’t fast every single day. Every single day, you can move around and pray. I have been doing this for 40 years. These days, the dust in the air is so bad that I carry around an oxygen tank with me. I always get ready when I am standing up and as I am moving around, I move around carrying my oxygen tank and pray deeply. This may be three or four hours when I am doing this some days. This is so good. I have four hours and I enter into deep prayer. I pray for the triune God to come upon me. I am sorry to say this to you but I always have my phone turned off. If I do have my phone on, I don’t carry it with me. This is because I have so much to do. When I do turn on my phone, I have many text messages but I am not able to reply as fast because I am inside of deep prayer. I am telling you this because the moment I wake up, that is the time when I am awake. The moment I am awake, that is my morning time. Try it for yourself. You don’t know, you may have to carry the oxygen tank since the air quality is so bad. You may use that time to gain strength or you can just allow your time to control you. This is a tremendous difference. I am praying that this blessing will be relayed to you. The night time for me is when my day is over. I use that time to restore myself, a time to receive answers, and a time of healing. This brings me so much happiness. There are three ways to receive answers. There are two sides inside of me. We must break down the bartizan of Satan inside of me.
1. Break Down Satan's Bartizan in You
Matthew 16:17-19 “Jesus answered and said to him, 'Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven. 18 And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. 19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.' ” - The reason why God called us so that we can be with Him and we can preach the gospel. The first thing that God spoke about was the mission. The power to drive out demons. This is so important. If you understand this, then answers will start coming.
This was what Jesus said to His disciples - Mark 3:13-15 “And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. 14 Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, 15 and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons.” - This is so important.
Matthew 12:43-45 “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. 44 Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.” - This was what Jesus said. The evil spirits entered into a soul and built a residence there. They departed from that person but a stronger evil spirit entered that person. People who live a secular faith like Pharisees couldn’t understand these words.
Jesus knew this so that is why Jesus said in Matthew 12:28-30 “But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. 29 Or how can one enter a strong man’s house and plunder his goods, unless he first binds the strong man? And then he will plunder his house. 30 He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad.” - If we come out of darkness then God’s kingdom can come inside of you. Of course, the Pharisees couldn’t understand this. If you have nothing to do with God, then you cannot understand this. You must pray. Do the happiness prayer in the morning and at night, and relay it during the day. Break down the bartizan of darkness inside of you. You are saved so you must pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Those who are in the midst of spiritual problems, it is not their fault and they can’t tell anyone regarding their problems. They can’t do anything to solve it. They must break down the bartizan of darkness first.
2 Corinthians 10:4 “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.” - Break down our ignorance and the darkness that seizes all of our thoughts. The strength to bring everything down before the name of Jesus. Try this. With this prayer, we can do everything. We must experience this. God wants to heal you properly so it won’t take place immediately. We need to be healed fundamentally. If we go meet Christ Himself, then we will be healed immediately and fundamentally. That is why we must go before Christ. Don’t be dismayed.
2. Establish God's Bartizan
Romans 7:25 “I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.” and Isaiah 7:14 “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel.” - As you pray we must realize that we can summarize the Bible in three points. The works of the Triune God that takes place through Christ and the power of the throne. The power of the three ages to save the entire world. We pray that this power will be manifested in us. We break down the bartizan of darkness and raise up the bartizan of God inside of us. The power of Mount Calvary becomes our bartizan.
It is Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.” - We will be set free. We are being imprinted with this. This is prayer. We don’t know prayer. If you take time for prayer, that is great but what is more important is that we can’t always set apart time. There are times when you do fasting prayer, it may be of great help to you but you can’t do it all the time. To change the world, it is all about 24 hours. The moment you open your eyes, pray. At night time, you must close it with God’s answer and close it with God’s word. When this accumulates, then the bartizan of Satan will break down and God’s bartizan will be established.
The bartizan of the Mount of Olives - it is 3, 9, 3. We are not just healed of our diseases but it disappears. Doctors can heal our diseases but only Christ can revive and restore our souls. Spiritual diseases, only God can heal that. Only those who are spiritually blessed have spiritual diseases. I think God has great plans for shamans. The blessing of the three feasts. The power of the wind and fire came upon them. This great power that no human cannot bear came upon them. The living word of God came upon them. The sermon title that I gave to the pastor is the restoration of 2,000 years. Until 2,000 years, we have not received this answer. We must hold onto the vision to save 237 nations. We can see the fulfillment of this message. Don’t be deceived, hold onto God’s word and start properly.
3. Establish the Bartizan of Thanksgiving
This is the fastest way to healing. The people who suffered the most were Joseph and David. The person who experienced the threat of death the most was Paul. These three people, what they spoke about the most was thanksgiving. Paul always had thanksgiving in each and everything.
1 Corinthians 1:4 “I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus.”, Philippians 1:3 “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you.”, and 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” - This is a tremendous method for healing. In this short time, I can’t explain everything but it is not a fabricated sermon that I am giving to you. I can promise you this. These are all the answers that I have received in prayer for 40 years. In the word of God, I can’t explain everything so you must understand.
Conclusion
The most important conclusion is three things. First, inside of prayer, always edit the word of God. It is only possible in the word of God, imprint the word inside of you. Absolutely every morning when you wake up, gain strength. There is no need to set aside time for this but every morning, receive power through the word. Listen to the word of God. When the word accumulates inside of you, you will gain great power. Inside of prayer, the word of God will start imprinting inside of you. When you see the field, you are able to design the field. You must remember this. Don’t give up. The prayer of my mother changed my entire family line. We are faced with the worst conditions and when someone is worrying all the time, I don’t have the time to worry. People who are having a hard time, my mother would always say that she never had time to worry since she was busy raising us. Don’t be imprinted with the wrong things, change this. Once this happens, we can stand as a witness. Now, we must not just use the word “healing” but we must have the power to heal the world. We must have the power to save our family line and our prosperity. If our family is facing a spiritual problem, break down the bartizan of Satan and raise up the bartizan of Christ and the bartizan of thanksgiving. Don’t just live your life but God’s word has value. Jesus said that God’s word can never leave except through prayer. World evangelism will only take place through the power of the Holy Spirit. World mission is about to start, find God’s plan for you and stand as a main figure to change the world.
