Let's take a look at the words together from Psalm 139. We will read verses 7 to 10. Let us read together from verse 7 to 10. I will ask everyone to join in.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Amen. 

Let us read it once more together from verse 7 to 10. 

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea...

Even if I go and dwell there, your hand will guide me, and your right hand will hold me fast. Amen. Amen. In 2007, I don't exactly remember the year, but it was around 2007 or 2008. This place was not a church. Previously, the pastor had finished ten years of ministry at a church and started a new vision called One Thing House. It was a house of prayer, and many worship leaders and teams of ministers gathered to hold evening worship every day. They worshiped for 365 days and called it a house of prayer. In the early days, these visions and values were conveyed only through a school. So, in the beginning, there was a program called One Thing 4, which I also participated in. The reason I got involved was...

살았기 때문입니다. 이 장소가 주님의 집이잖아요. 동시에 저희 집이 되겠습니다. 예, 저는 집을 제 독립의 나와서, 이 공간에서 제가 이제 먹고 자고 있어요. 엄호 꽂아 거야 하면 안 되잖아요. 일을 해야 되잖아요. 그래서 온갖 잠잠히를 제가 이제 열심히 했습니다. 여러분, 잘 모르시겠지만, 여러분 보신 오른편 뒤쪽에 보면 슬러그 롬이 있는데, 그쪽이 이제 스내치 방인데요. 고압 쪽으로 보시면 작은 물이 그 운이 또 보이죠. 철문이 보이잖아요. 그쪽으로 들어가시면 예전에 저희 집이 체 방이 있었습니다. 예, 창고 겸 방이었어요. 3가지 관심, 십 년 넘게 개 3 여기서 이 생각했는데, 그 동안의 먹 안사도 하고 중 보성도 하고 전도사 살도 하고 제 목사가 되었는데, 제가 지그 10시간을 쪽 지나거나 보니까 제가 저기에서 저쪽으로 이상 같더라고요. 후, 아내가 멀리 하지 못했구나. 

I lived here because this place is the Lord's house. At the same time, it will become our home. Yes, I moved out to gain my independence, and now

Yes, it was when I lived there. It was every Sunday evening. I don't remember exactly, but it was around the 7th or 8th week, and we had the first phase, and then after a while, the second phase. While doing the school, we were teaching and worshiping together about what the house of prayer is, what David's tent is, what worship in the tent is, and what prayer is. It was very intense. From my memory, the worship was very passionate, fervent, and there was a strong anointing. I remember it vividly. At that time, I was in my early thirties. Now, I'm in my mid-forties, and people often say I don't look it. But I was in my early thirties when I was doing that work. After participating, I didn't go back to my designated home, and when others returned, now the regulations are a bit fixed, so...

It was okay, but at that time, the chairs were thoroughly outside, and the restaurant was a mess. I like to finish things off neatly, so after everything is done, I match the cards and clean everything up. I also organize the outside and wipe down all the surfaces to create a completely new setup. This takes several hours. Once it’s all done, when you enter, you see the glass door, but in the past, there was a huge iron door that looked like a jail cell. We used to close that massive iron door and lock it up, and that was the final touch. After that, I would take a moment to cool down, and while the game was going on, I stood in front of the podium. The worship was very intense, so I felt a lingering sense of reverence. I sat there and was just hunting for thoughts. While I was praising, my...

A strange feeling began to rise from a corner of my heart. I couldn't quite understand it. What kind of feeling was it? Because I'm not a theater actor or a movie actor, but I've heard that theater actors experience a tremendous sense of emptiness and void after finishing a performance that they have been doing for a certain period of time. I think you know what I mean. Yes, I felt that kind of emotion. It was an old feeling that was coming up in my heart. It was strange; this wasn't my feeling. Because I wasn't involved in anything significant at the school, like being in a band or doing any major activities. I was just serving as a subtitle editor, and later on, I was asked to help with the organization. So, I had no accomplishments that would warrant feeling that sense of emptiness. Now, sitting there with the 220 participants, leading the worship...

I think I was probably the main character, and that emotion just washed over me. I looked at this scene and thought about the Lord a bit. But the Lord spoke to me, giving me my name. Mingu, where is that passionate worshiper who used to worship me so fervently? Where has that incredible and passionate worship gone? He asked me that question. I felt like I was being asked that directly. What can I do? I'm not someone who can answer that kind of question. As soon as I heard that question, I realized that the emotion I was feeling was not mine, but God's emotion. God was looking for people. The worship had ended, people had gone home, and there was no longer that fiery passion. But while I was walking, God found me. God was searching for His people.

You found me; I wanted to have fellowship, and I wanted to receive that worship. I wanted to stay in the fellowship of love. It was a deeply ingrained experience for me. Throughout our faith journey, I have had various experiences, but this was a moment when I could catch a glimpse of God's heart through my wife. In that moment, I felt that heart, and there was a song that fit perfectly. It was a song that, when the heat of worship was over, led us to come before the Lord and offer sincere worship. We finished that song. At that time, it was a house of prayer, and worship was happening continuously for 365 days in the Tabernacle of David. I realized that God delighted in worshiping Him 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Now, looking back, I feel the emptiness and the overwhelming experience that the Lord had shown me.

God constantly desires to fellowship with your children, your people, and your bride, sharing love with them. I have come to understand that the Lord wants to meet our daughter. This is the Lord's longing. Well, in John 4, we see that the Lord intentionally passed through a place called Samaria, specifically the town of Sychar. We are familiar with this passage. God teaches us about worship through the encounter with a woman. This woman had five husbands, and the man she was currently with was not her husband. Later, Jesus recognized this and revealed it to her through the word of knowledge. However, this Samaritan woman had various desires, but ultimately, she realized that the person she was speaking to was not an ordinary man.

Knowing that we are people of God, let us ask the true question that lies within us. The Samaritans worship here on this mountain, while the Jews say that worship takes place in Jerusalem. Which is right? It's a political issue, isn't it? Remember, the Lord did not speak about the place; it was not about the location. Let me read Jesus' answer: Jesus said to her, Believe me, woman, a time is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem. You Samaritans worship what you do not know; we worship what we do know, for salvation is from the Jews. He also said, Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. God is...

God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. He speaks about where worship takes place and what kind of worship God seeks, addressing the essence of worship. At that time, the term comes up: the Father seeks those who worship Him in that way. In Greek, this is expressed as zeteo, which means to seek. 

This term is an active word; it is not just about passively existing or waiting. It's about actively searching. When I am truly thirsty, I don't just sit back and wait for water to come to me; I go out and seek it. This seeking is a longing to obtain something. God longs for that worship, and He is actively seeking those worshipers. This is about each and every one of you.

God is always present in the hearts of everyone who is worshiping in their own places. This is true now and will continue to be true in the future. Hallelujah! Do you remember the 20th chapter of the Book of Psalms? It says, Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? The next verse continues with the confession, I cannot escape from you, Lord. I cannot leave you. If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, you are there. Even if I take the wings of the dawn and dwell at the ends of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will hold me fast. This is a verse that sings and expresses God's omnipresence. We all understand what omnipresence means. It is a mysterious and magnificent attribute of God. Omnipresence is referred to as omni-present. The term omni means...

Everything, every way, every place, carries the meaning of having no limits. Therefore, God's presence is unbounded. God does not receive or reject anything. God is infinite. Simply put, God's presence exists in all times and all spaces. David saw this, embraced it, and experienced it. The passage we read today reflects this. Do you really believe that God is everywhere? Do you truly believe it? If you do, then even if I try to run away as far as possible, God is still there. No matter where or when I am, the Lord is there. This is our confession of faith. Do you genuinely believe this? Is it really true?

Do you truly experience and believe in God's omnipresence? I have thought about this attribute of God and what it means. The divine nature of the great God tells us something significant. If we consider the beauty of our faith as a privilege, it can be understood through God's omnipresence. What I mean is that the Lord does not exist within the limits of time and space. He is everywhere and at any time. So, whenever we seek and call upon the Lord, He is there at that moment. This is an amazing truth! God's omnipresence means that we can encounter Him anytime and anywhere. Do you believe this? However, there are various challenges that can prevent us from experiencing God's omnipresence, especially in our contemporary society.

그러한데, 우리가 살고 있는 종교적 환경은 신앙인의 이분법적인 사고 방식 때문입니다. 무엇이냐면, 우리는 소위 종교적인 것과 비종교적인 것을 구분하는 경우가 많습니다. 이번 논의의 초점이 바로 여기에 있습니다. 그래서 우리는 종종 어떤 부분에서는 신성하다고 느끼고, 어떤 부분에서는 그렇지 않다고 인식하고 있습니다. 저는 그것을 실수라고 말씀드리고 싶습니다. 우리가 교회에 와서 기도하고 말씀을 읽으며, 또 말씀과 설교를 통해 예배하는 가운데 영적인 묵상들을 하는 것은 우리는 거룩한 것으로 분류합니다. 이러한 활동을 할 때는 하나님이 우리와 함께 계시고, 함께 일하시고, 함께 교통하신다는 것을 우리는 알고, 믿고, 경험합니다. 반면에, 축구 경기를 관람하거나 우리가 차를 운전해서 출근하는 시간이나 장소에서는 그렇지 않다고 생각합니다.

When we watch movies, we dedicate our entire day to it, and when we go to sleep feeling hungry and eat, or when we split our time for leisure activities, recently, there was fine dust and rain. I went out to the land of the pancreas, and all the cars were there. Yes, I had the sign of that house. When I went to the car wash that day, there were many cars. When I take my ID to school to increase it, these everyday activities, as I mentioned earlier, are holy, sacred, and set apart. They are not just secular; we are dividing them. This reflects our dualistic way of thinking. The activities I mentioned later are absolutely not evil or corrupt; they are neutral. It depends on how we approach them.

Depending on how we use it, it can be a good experience or a bad one; it is simply a neutral experience. Therefore, due to this binary way of thinking that divides the sacred from the secular and the divine from the fallen, we come to believe that we can determine the time and place where God works. In certain situations, we define what it means to think of God and to feel God. As a result, we have stopped expecting spiritual things in our everyday lives. I’m not dismissing those feelings; yes, we sometimes feel them, but generally, we think of the events in our daily lives as ordinary. We live our ordinary lives diligently and faithfully. However, distinct from that, in the midst of the faithful hours we spend...

I cannot experience God's presence or His grace; I cannot suppress that longing. Therefore, I cannot value it like a total. So, we separate times like Sunday worship or personal devotion to create holy moments, and through those times, we taste God's presence. Just like plugging in a phone to recharge, we move forward again into our lives. This can be said to encompass all of our lives. I apologize to those who do not understand this. However, God has played a role in this. He desires to meet us not only in the times and spaces that I consider holy and sacred but also in the everyday moments of life that I deem secular. He wants us to experience Him, to be moved and excited by His presence, and to enjoy His grace. When we drift away from these things...

I gradually lose the sensations of longing for those things, the thoughts centered around recognizing, feeling, and seeking them. It seems to deteriorate. My body has not been well, and those of you watching the video may not know this, but I took a break from church ministry for four weeks. Throughout March, I was only able to attend once a week. I was in a situation where I needed to rest, and I had to focus on recovering my health. Because of that, I took a break. There were several occasions where I wondered how it would be if I continued in ministry. The sense of thought seems to diminish. I had been doing this for over ten years, but I feel as if I am stumbling through it. How much more so in our lives do we search for God's presence and long for Him?

If we cannot add that to our lives, then such sensations are bound to become natural. There is an old movie directed by Steven Spielberg called The Color Purple. In this film, the famous Hollywood actress Whoopi Goldberg played the role of a maid who is illiterate. There is a scene where the main character, played by Goldberg, is walking along a dusty little path with her friend. In this scene, there is a fence along the railway beside them, and beyond that, there are purple hills spread out. I'm not sure if it's lilac or lavender, but those hills are entirely painted in shades of purple.

The clouds are beautifully illuminated on the horizon, and the protagonists are walking in this stunning scenery. At that moment, Whoopi Goldberg nudges her friend with her elbow and smiles as she says, Look at that! Isn't God sending us a glance? This everyday situation, seeing God's gaze or gesture in our ordinary lives, is indeed a remarkable discovery. There are divine glances sent to us every day, and I hope we are blessed with the ability to recognize them. Oh, faithful Lord, you grant us mercy every day, and we sing praises for that.

Every morning is new and fresh. In these two weeks, I have been praising according to the Psalms, confessing that every day and every morning is always new. God’s presence comes and gives us grace, and when I experience God, I often find myself in tears. There were times during worship when I cried a lot. When I first came to church, for a few weeks, I just laughed during worship. I was moved because God is here, speaking His word. Each of us experiences our encounter with God in different ways. We receive grace and mercy every day from Him, but we often live our lives so busy that we fail to recognize it. So, in our lives, we...

How can we experience the abundant presence of God and His grace? In our ordinary, very ordinary daily lives, what can we do to cultivate extraordinary spiritual fellowship and abundant inspiration? As I mentioned earlier, the premise is that God is watching over us. He desires to communicate with us, and the Lord wants to share love with us. God is omnipresent and all-knowing. With this understanding, we can believe that we will receive His grace. 

First, to experience extraordinary moments in our ordinary lives, I recommend slowing down. Do you agree? We pursue tremendous productivity and activity, aiming to achieve something efficiently in a short amount of time. This is truly the pattern of our ordinary daily lives.

This person is going around busily, and sometimes we cannot gauge that speed. When you drive a car at a really fast pace, there are times when you don't even realize how fast you are going. When you’re racing ahead, you can’t tell if you’re moving quickly or slowly; you’re just handling the tasks given to you, living as if you’re being chased all day long. I have explanations for this way of living. So sometimes, we live a life where rest is not guaranteed. I want to say that this is truly our daily life; it’s a reality we must endure. There’s a song by the pop singer Bob Dylan called A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall. In the lyrics, there’s a line that goes, And our love is a distant enable. To interpret this, it speaks of moments of rage and anger in the midst of creation.

The lyrics say, Send your touch through the trembling leaves, and a grain of sand. Just like these lyrics, don't you think that the moments we've experienced summarize our lives? It's thanks to that one moment. However, the question is whether we can see God's touch amidst it all. When we look at those trembling leaves, can we see God's hand in them? When we look at a grain of sand, can we perceive the signature of God's creation? God shows us His grace abundantly and pours it out upon us. To experience, discover, and enjoy this, we need to pause. It's not about rushing forward like a car accelerating, but rather consciously stopping during those times and looking for the Lord who is with us. Don't dismiss this as impossible.

I know that our lives are busy, and I understand how hectic it can be. However, before God, I cannot say that I can control my pace or that I cannot slow down. We can clearly know that we must intentionally slow down the pace of our lives. And in that stillness, sometimes we need to stop and look to the Lord. Especially, our two pastors shared content during the Friday Holy Spirit meeting on March 19th, titled Rest. The message emphasized the importance of pausing and reflecting on Scripture. Furthermore, as I mentioned earlier, God is everywhere, and we need to focus on Him. Right now, God is anointing me and meeting with me, and I must intentionally pause to recognize that.

What we are looking at is the tab of the can. I hope you practice this in your lives. Truly, I give you the challenge to practice contemplation. We pray here for about an hour and a half to two hours every day for our church's vision and for our teachers. We pray with shouting and clapping, almost like crazy people, crying out in prayer. We do this so that it may come to pass, following God's faith. After that prayer session, we definitely need to lower our content for 30 minutes. While group prayer is precious and guides us, we also need to be recharged in God, experiencing His presence and the light of His face. Therefore, we need to intentionally lower our content. Dear friends, let's engage in contact radio, looking forward to where we should be gazing.

컨테이 플라타 하십시오. 우리 그렇게 해서 합시다. 두 번째로, 여러분, 시인의 관점으로 주님을 찾으십시오. 여러분, 주님의 말씀 가운데 예수님께서 비유를 많이 말씀하셨어요. 그렇죠? 그 비유는 일반적으로 우리가 그렇게 인식하고 있습니다. 예수께서 아주 고상하고 심오한 하나님 나라의 진리를 우리 잘 알지 못하는 무지한 사람들에게 이해시키고 그것들을 깨닫게 하기 위해 비유로 설명하신 것입니다. 우리는 집 짓기라든지 농사라든지 무화과 같은 주변에 있는 아주 평범한 것들을 통해 주님께서 하나님 나라의 진리들을 소개하시고 설명하신 것을 알고 있습니다. 마치 설계자들이 그 설교의 진리들을 깨우쳐 주기 위해 노력하는 것과 마찬가지겠죠. 그러나 예수님께서 비유를 하셨을 때...

At that time, not everyone realized this. There were some people who simply could not understand or grasp it. We are very familiar with the parable of the sower, which talks about the four types of soil. Even when we pray, we often refer to this scripture and encourage each other to cast our burdens upon it. There is the path, the rocky ground, the thorny ground, and the good soil. This speaks to the condition of our hearts, and we know well that the word can bear fruit according to the state of our hearts. However, those who first heard this parable were surprised and confused about its meaning. They had been told that the Kingdom of God had come, but they did not understand it. Even though they heard, they could not comprehend; even though they saw, they could not grasp its significance. Yet, there were those who were eager to delve deeper into the Lord's parables.

있었습니다. 제자들이 주님께 그 말씀이 무슨 뜻인지 궁금해했습니다. 풀어 주십시오. 그때 예수님께서 그 말씀이 하나님 나라의 진리 가운데 어떤 의미가 있다고 말씀해 주셨습니다. 많은 사람들이, 많은 군중들이 하나님의 말씀을 들었으나 그 진정한 의미는 깨닫지 못했습니다. 그것이 좋은 말씀인지 아닌지는 중요하지 않았지만, 사실 이렇게 말씀의 진정한 관심이 부족했습니다. 모두가 다 깨달았다고 생각했죠. 그래서 특히 듣기는 들어도 깨닫지 못하고, 보기는 보아도 알지 못하는 것입니다. 마음이 무뎌져 있기 때문입니다. 제가 앞서서 시인의 관점으로 주를 찾으라고 말씀드렸습니다. 이게 무슨 뜻일까요? 여러분, 예수님께서는 이 비유를 말씀하실 때 때론 알아듣지 못하는 말씀을 하실 때가 있습니다. 그럴 때 우리는 어떤 태도를 가져야 할까요?

You can do it, right? Yes, asking late and having curiosity, praying and earnestly asking the Lord to reveal what it means is the way to go. Everyone, this is spiritual curiosity. It is interest directed towards the Lord. Why is this so? Interestingly, it is because the Lord intended this. I hope you realize this, because the Lord wants us to actively invite and engage with the proclaimed Word. That is why He speaks with this intention. When the lawyer came to Jesus and asked, Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life? the Lord actually responded with a question. What is written in the Law? How do you read it? The Lord turned the question around, encouraging him to actively participate and respond to this spiritual truth.

You are those who participate in the movement. I have said to seek the Lord from the perspective of this poet because God is at 20:04. Therefore, I share this message: God is at 20:00. This is a matter of give-and-take. You understand, right? I have a verse from Proverbs. This verse might not be well-known, but let's read Proverbs 25:2 together. 

To hide a matter is the glory of God, and to search it out is the glory of kings. God hides His work first so that we can gradually find it. 

Now, let's turn to Psalm 27:10. 

When my father and my mother forsake me, then the Lord will take care of me. When you said, Seek my face, my heart said to You, Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide Your face from me, O Lord.

Do not forsake me in your anger, Lord; you are my help. O God of my salvation, do not abandon me or leave me. My parents have forsaken me, but the Lord will receive me. Just as David confessed that God was hiding from him, when the Lord says, Seek my face, we can see David actively coming before God. In Song of Solomon chapter 3, the trust of the bride continues to unfold. The bridegroom, who is the king, meets the bride and shares love with her, but then mysteriously disappears at night. This is described in the Song of Solomon. In chapter 3, the main character, the Shulammite woman, is searching for her beloved and wandering in search of her Lord. The chapter describes her as she prepares herself and searches for him, asking the watchmen, Have you seen my beloved?

Loving with your heart, have you seen it? The Lord ultimately meets him and gives him stock. Everyone, as a poet, I don't really know, but these days, poets are making remarkable points from very ordinary things. Those of us who have experienced unrequited love during our youth will understand. It seems trivial, yet love confessions come pouring out. I didn't experience that, but a friend of mine did. In chapter 16, verse 1, there is a love story about a woman who is in love with a man. To me, it seems like nothing special, but the poet truly finds something precious in ordinary places. They explore the meaning, observe, search for words, and express it beautifully. Poetry truly seems to be a great cultural work. Among the people I know, there is a poet named Geor. He is publishing poetry collections, and I really like his work. I will read a part of it to you, so please listen to the poem.

The title is Everyday Life. Everyday life, when your deep sorrow consumes your spirit, you become a part of the ordinary. People, when you find the Spirit of God present in your daily life, you may not hear it due to despair, and when life feels like it is fading away, let your painful past rest in the Lord's embrace. Step forward with the Lord's grace. If you find yourself filled with boredom day by day, then in that moment of emptiness, you should turn to God. Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, carry out those tedious tasks, for those mundane tasks can become sacred. Regarding the events in our daily lives, yes, express them in poetic language. We must become divine to discover God's presence in the ordinary. We need to slow down and observe our everyday life, where He lives and breathes, pouring out His essence upon us.

We need to face the moments of grace and blessings that the Lord pours out. At such times, our spirits come alive among us, and the praise from our lips arises. It's not just about sending the lyrics in front of us or having someone come up and say, Let's pray a prayer of gratitude. Rather, we should genuinely reflect on the gratitude we feel. Yes, we acknowledge that we are thankful, and we recognize the things that deserve our gratitude. This is not a begrudging acknowledgment of our blessings. Instead, every moment becomes an opportunity for gratitude. The good works I do are not my own; it is the Lord who has led me to this point, making it possible. Of course, there has been effort and hard work on my part, but I can confess that it ultimately belongs to God, and this perspective comes from being a poet. God is elusive to those in their twenties, which is why it is challenging for us to find traces of Him. However, for those who pursue and seek Him...

God will surely reveal Himself. Hallelujah, everyone! And you need to discover Christ within others. Since we have a lot of time, I want to share this because it's a bit weak. Each of us has a young boy growing inside, right? You are the temple where God and the Holy Spirit dwell. Our Lord lives within each of us. We need to recognize the living Lord through each other. With a small gesture, with just a brief word, we can hear the voice of the Lord. If we pay attention to this, like a poet, and begin to explore it, we can hear the Lord's voice at any time. I used to lead worship here, and I really wanted to play in the band well because I felt that I was lacking in many ways.

I always wanted to lead worship well, so there were times when I felt disappointed. One day, after finishing a Holy Spirit gathering, I found it difficult to lead worship. I had a deep sense of regret in my heart and thought to myself that I wanted to sleep more. At that moment, my eldest daughter was crawling around, and I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. However, since I couldn't attend to my family, I went inside to greet them. I felt a mix of emotions, and my daughter seemed to have disappeared from my sight. In that moment, my heart was filled with disappointment and it felt like something was blocking me. But suddenly, that feeling dissipated. It wasn't because my daughter was gone; rather, I felt the embrace of God through the small arms of my daughter, which made me realize that I was experiencing God's presence.

Ah, well done! Yes, God's grace was abundant in worship. This is what I'm saying. In those small things, we can hear God's voice, and through our brothers and sisters in faith, we make that discovery. We are all people striving to become more like the Lord. The Lord lives within us, and we want to reveal His image. Therefore, we find the Lord's likeness among each other, discover His glory, and experience the presence of the Lord and His grace. Lastly, we need to redeem the realities of our lives through Christ's grace. When we talk about redemption, it means this: redemption is like a payment made to secure something. It is through that payment that salvation is accomplished. We have been redeemed; your life has been redeemed.

Through Christ, our Lord, your life has been redeemed. Amen. The Lord has redeemed us through His cross, and we have been saved. We have become holy and complete. Likewise, I hope that my life, where I spend time with the Lord, has also been redeemed. Is it in the office? Is it at a construction site? Is it in a nursing home? Are you feeling unwell or stuck in a fast-moving delivery vehicle? Whatever it may be, wherever you spend your time and invest your life, invite the presence of the Lord there. Lord, may this place become Your house. May God's presence and grace be experienced here. Please make it holy. Help me to find You in my daily life. Lord, reveal Yourself in my surroundings. It is about redeeming this place and making it sacred.

구별해 드리는 거예요. 그럴 때 주님께서 우리에게 당신의 은혜를 드러냈습니다. 제가 앞에서 여러 가지 하나님의 임재를 경험하는 방법들을 짧게 소개해 드렸는데, 여러분, 이런 방법들이 외에 우리가 마음을 품고 있다면 여러분이 결정하신다면, 우리는 예배당에서뿐만 아니라 우리 삶의 경건하게 여겨지는 구별된 현장뿐만 아니라 모든 삶의 터전이 하나님의 은혜와 임재의 처소가 될 수 있습니다. 우리는 그것을 경험해야 합니다. 예배팀, 좀 나와주세요. 제 자녀들 얘기를 한 번 더 할게요. 제가 딸과 아들이 있는데, 아들은 다섯 살입니다. 그래서 지금 막 숫자들을 읽고 있지만 알아보고 있고, 이제 글자도 간단한 것들을 알아보고 있어요. 그래서 차를 타고 같이 가면 뭐 이래요. 오 해요라고 돈을 보면서 000을 보면서, 거꾸로 읽으면 4예요. 자꾸 이제 막 예약해서 되게 재밌어요.

When you see the children at church, you all know, right? Yesterday, our sister from the Yoori Seongnam suddenly stood up. She was supposed to be taking a break, but she suddenly got up and started reading my manuscript. There was a personal mart running next to me, and I was looking for a banner. I wondered where it was, but I couldn't find it. Where could it be? We were doing something, and then I saw it was yellow. I noticed that there was a sign here. 

Oh, I see. That's impressive. Did you see that? They did a great job with the dance. 

As much as you can see, you live as much as you can find. When it comes to prayer, when God speaks, He says, Seek and you will find. Let's try it. God has come to be with us. I know how to read. I know all the numbers, but I can't find it. I'm not interested; I just pass by those things.

I think we all do this out of curiosity. They just started learning, and that's what they see. It's about seeing things. There is curiosity because they have learned. How did my son know about numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, and 9? He learned by practicing at home, writing things down. There were times when I would scold him and praise him. He was figuring out how to write, like how certain letters go together, or how some letters are inverted. There were various stages during that time. He would write and write again, and eventually, he became familiar with those numbers. God reveals Himself to us without hesitation. We all think we understand everything, but we might not have discovered the essence of God. Lord, you give us a sense of awareness. We are thirsty because we have not met you. However, like the poet says, those who seek will find.

God, where are You now? In this meeting, You are the Lord who is always with me. Where are You at this moment? I want to experience You, Lord. I want to experience Your Word alive and active within me. I don’t want to just go through the motions without any experience. I want to confess my love for You, Lord, and experience that love. There is nothing wrong with wanting that. I have told you that God desires this. What He has done is to seek those who are lost. After worship, when you leave, God is not disconnected from you. He is not someone who stops being present. I am overflowing with blessings. God is able to make all grace abound toward you. There is a first message in this. What does the Lord give?

내가 모자란 것이 아니에요. 모든 주님의 은혜는 흘러서 넘쳐 한 것입니다. 찾는 자가 찾은 것임을 반대는 말고 있습니다. 잘 안돼. 제 아들이 태어나서 안 되는 걸 맛보고 있습니다. 또 합니다. 또 해야 만나볼 수 있어요. 수십 번 한 다음에 수백 번 한 다음에, 한국에서는 이거 보입니다. 자랑합니다. 하나님의 은혜가 느껴지지 않으십니까? 하나님의 임재가 떠난 것 같습니까? 나의 삶은 매말라서 누구의 기도를 받고 어디에서 충전해야 할지 고민하고 있습니까? 여러분, 우리의 평범한 속에 비범함이 있습니다. 우리의 일상 가운데 하나님의 모든 것에 넘치도록 부어주시는 하나님의 은혜가 있습니다. 어디에서요? 교회에서 확인하십시오. 예배에서 체험하십시오. 그리고 여러분이 주로 계시는 곳에서 발견하십시오. 여러분, 그 감격 속에 사시면 좋겠습니다.

You won't be able to hold back your tears when you come here. Living in that gap, God's prayers and worship are piling up. As soon as it rains, I feel it without realizing it. Here, God's grace overflows. I felt that way too; I wasn't tied down. That's because that speech doesn't happen. But in my daily life, I meet the Lord, and in the field of my life, I only know the Lord. How sweet is the Lord's grace! I feel it when I hold onto the holy and the new. There's no entrance there, and I couldn't feel the Lord. When I break down that wall of sin, I truly enter into a place of overflowing abundance from God, and I feel it even without searching for it. It is powerful and real. I bless you all to be such people. Seek the extraordinary in our ordinary lives. Find what God has hidden for you. Track down the God who is hidden.

Be like a poet and speak. Do not say that you have failed just because you feel that you are not succeeding. Do not give up just because you do not feel it. You may fail once, twice, or even three times, but ultimately, you will meet the Lord. Those who seek Him will find Him. God will share His wonderful Spirit and His abundant grace with everyone, pouring out His reality through fellowship and communion. Let us all come together in this moment and engage in this. Look upon the Lord, who abundantly pours out His grace upon us in this place and in our hearts. Let us move forward in prayer and approach the altar.
