Pastor Kim Yong Doo - You need to bear fruit of the Spirit

Galatians 5:16-26 (AMP) But I say, walk habitually in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be responsive to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the desire of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts]. 17 For the sinful nature has its desire which is opposed to the Spirit, and the [desire of the] Spirit opposes the sinful nature; for these [two, the sinful nature and the Spirit] are in direct opposition to each other [continually in conflict], so that you [as believers] do not [always] do whatever [good things] you want to do. 18 But if you are guided and led by the Spirit, you are not subject to the Law. 19 Now the practices of the sinful nature are clearly evident: they are sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control), 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, disputes, dissensions, factions [that promote heresies], 21 envy, drunkenness, riotous behavior, and other things like these. I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit [the result of His presence within us] is love [unselfish concern for others], joy, [inner] peace, patience [not the ability to wait, but how we act while waiting], kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature together with its passions and appetites. 25 If we [claim to] live by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also walk by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our conduct empowered by the Holy Spirit]. 26 We must not become conceited, challenging or provoking one another, envying one another.

Apostle Paul is making us answer a serious question through the Word of God. In the midst of difficulty, we become believers of Jesus and become saved. We then build our faith. But due to our mistakes, foolishness, and ignorance, we can shipwreck our faith that would lead us to salvation. Apostle Paul is casting a question to us. There are certain things that will prevent us from inheriting the kingdom of God. This is a very fearful statement. There are certain manifestations shown through our bodies. The Word of God is hinting to us that our spiritual areas could possibly be shattered through our physical bodies. Can sexual immorality have power to cancel our salvation? What about filthiness and sensuality (see above definition)? Some people are curious about sensuality. Some desire and covet that relates to sensuality (total irresponsibility, lack of self-control). If these people continue in such way, what kind of influence will come to their salvation? Idolatry, if we worship some kind of idol, what kind of fatal damage will strike our salvation and faith lives? Disputes, do you have any unresolved issues with anyone? Are you still holding a grudge against someone? Are you failing when it comes to having relationships with other people and personal relationship/friendship with other people? It is the same with dissension, arguing, envious, jealousy, fits of anger, and forms of faction. People who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

When some kind of gap is created within you and I or between you and someone else, through that gap, some kind of impact will occur and escalate. Think about a bad impact. There are moments when something stirs up inside and our flesh reacts. It is because Satan is working within us. Although, I am very gentle and nice to the church people, I am a very difficult father in my household. When I handle my children strictly, my children’s feeling and emotions get hurt. Still, we must not give any gap to Satan even when it comes to our emotion and feelings. Every one of you are all precious people of God who possess a mission and the calling of God. You may create trouble and make problems, then it will be great if you demolish and crush that part of you that creates trouble and make problems. But many times, people are stubborn. Satan works through the opportunity that was given through our flesh. When this occurs, what kind of impact and how much impact will it affect our faith and salvation? Here is a fearful statement.  

“I warn you beforehand, just as I did previously, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.”

We must not practice such things. One important truth is that all types of sin will damage us. All types of sin include the element that will lead us to death. Therefore, the people of Jesus must crucify the sinful nature together with its passion and appetites. I believe, this dying process is something that we must carry out until the day we die. The desires of flesh comes against the desires of the Holy Spirit. Everything that is created within our flesh always prevent us from the things that God desires to carry out through us. These two forces are coming against each other. God desires us to carry out our mission and given work.

When we are led by the Holy Spirit we are no longer under the Law. The church in Galatians were built with great difficulty and effort. Apostle Paul said to the Galatians, “All your work and effort are not in vain. But there are things that may make your work in vain. The counterfeit messages, counterfeit ministries, things that can make you corrupted, the things that makes your faith vain and so on.”

What can cancel your salvation? The things that comes out of your flesh will cancel your salvation. Everything that is coming out from your flesh will fatally damage the spiritual work.

As time passed, the church, once filled with the Holy Spirit gradually became weak. When the church became spiritually weak, the people became satisfied just by attending church. People no longer cared whether they possess the power of the Holy Spirit with His authority or not. The church became irrelevant to the spiritual battle. The Galatians church had a problem. Everyone has their personal characteristics, personality and traits. The people of Galatia paid a heavy price obtaining faith. But later on, their hearts gradually changed. Their idea of obtaining and completing salvation became very easy. They began going toward the way of Judaism.

At first, Paul built and established the church with the power of the Holy Spirit. All the churches that are built by Apostle Paul began manifesting bad symptoms. The churches began to be obsessed with Judaism and the Law. Therefore, Apostle Paul once again preached to the churches regarding the work of the Holy Spirit. The church may have been built and established in the midst of difficulty and much effort but if people make fleshly mistakes and carelessness act, the church and their salvation can be damaged. In theory, it may seem like it is impossible for us to damage our salvation, but in reality, it is a different story. If you commit adultery, you will not inherit the kingdom of God. If you burst in anger, you will not fulfill the will of God. When Moses did not represent the holiness of God, his mission had ended. But because he repented, at least, he was saved. But for us, we are living in the days where we may obtain many chances and forgiveness only if we properly repent even if we have angered ten or twenty times. Even though we sin many times, only if we properly repent before God, God will restore us. Although we may be living in such days, we have to be cautious because the eyes of God observes everything in us. If we think, ‘Well, I can always repeatedly repent’ and sin carelessly, God will know our thought and hearts.

As we live in this world, we will encounter some kind of situation. Depending on how we handle our situation, our faith and the content of such faith will be changed. Also, the quality of a person can be changed. There are contents within us but that content can be damaged because of someone. Our contents and faith can be influenced. When we are influenced, there will be two ways path to choose from. There is the good way and the other way in which we will commit sin. In order for things that are in our hearts to come out and be revealed, we need to encounter some kind of situation.

God tested Abraham. “Give me your son, Isaac. Go to Mount Moriah. Cast away your son Ishmael and Hagar.”

God continuously tested and asked from Abraham. When we encounter such situations, things that are hidden within us will be exposed. When we encounter such situations, will our faith be properly activated according to that reality or not? Even if people are given the same type of test and situation, because their trait and characteristics are different, they will react differently. Even if my wife and I look at some kind of problem, because our perspective is different and our ability to think is different, we may end up arguing. When we encounter certain situations where you and the other party has a different perspective, how can you guys overcome the difference? Will you overcome the situation with an argument? Or will you yield to the other party? Will you agree somehow and acknowledge the difference with the grace of God? Will you gently persuade the other party with the grace of God? We all need the wisdom of God in these areas.

A person may possess the power of God. But how can you know if such a person has properly received it through the proper method? Moreover, what kind of process or method? You may observe a person for a long period of time. Does he/she consistently manifest the will of God with humility for a long duration of time? Does he/she live according to the will of God? Based on these factors, the person may be revealed and approved. Someone may come to you one day and show you the power of God but please do not only look at the power. You must also continuously observe the person as much will be revealed.

We must learn to discern the difference between the holy gifts and the fruit of the Holy Spirit. When a gift is granted and manifested, you will be able to utilize it right away. But when it comes to the fruit of the Holy Spirit, you may not see it right away. People who have received the holy gifts can possibly become corrupted. When it comes to the fruit of the Holy Spirit, time is required to determine if one is bearing it. You need to observe the characteristic and the personality of the person to see if these areas have bore the fruit of the Holy Spirit. How much fruit has the person bore when it comes to love? How much joy does the person possess? How well is the persona a peacemaker with the other people? It is more important whether you possess the fruit of the Holy Spirit or not rather than you possessing holy gifts. It is difficult to pray but when we carry out the will of God, God will recompense ten, hundred, and a thousand times.

Jesus had led His disciples to utilize the disciple training method. Jesus preached the Word of God and many other things during the day time. But because they needed to be taught on the teaching of Rehma, the Lord prayed each night and He had desired His disciples to join Him. But when it comes to the area of Rehma, it was difficult to be properly trained for the disciples. They were more easily trained in the area of Logos. Sometimes, the Lord would train them using some awkward assignment which they were not used too. The Lord had sent all His disciples away by themselves. Then the Lord walked on the water in the middle of the night when the wind and wave was most severe. In such a situation, the Lord tried to draw out the Rehma within them and train them to only focus the Lord. This training is the training to perform the miracles of the Lord. But the disciples could not carry it out properly.

We may all go through a similar type of training and experience with the Holy Spirit. The process of becoming the image of Jesus and bearing the fruit of the Holy Spirit will not be easy for all of us. When we go through the training of discipleship and as we experience the Holy Spirit, the purpose is not to boast and show our righteousness. As we receive more grace from God, more training, and as we develop as closer relationship with God, it is not increasing our power but, possessing a stronger passion and personality in denying ourselves.

“I am nothing. Everything is done by the Lord.”

We must express this statement in such a way as often as possible.

When we continuously say, “I AM NOTHING! THE LORD HAS DONE EVERYTHING!”

We will not be cast away so quickly but will be utilized for a long time. If we are not filled with the Holy Spirit, we will not be able to be properly trained as His disciple. When it came to the disciples of Jesus, they had finished their “program of discipleship.” But their training had not fully completed because the last course in discipleship was to follow Jesus and die. And they all had ran away when Jesus was captured.  

Even in the midst of their training by Jesus, the disciples doubted, argued, envied, were jealous, and one even betrayed Him in the end. When Jesus was captured, the condition of the disciples went back to their original condition before they had begun disciple training with Jesus. But still, Jesus visited and restored them. The Lord explained why they had become such a way. The reason was that they were not filled with the Holy Spirit. Unless they waited on the promised Holy Spirit and received the Holy Spirit, they could not become true disciple of Jesus. The more we become the disciples of Jesus, the more we must deny ourselves and we must properly follow Him. When the disciples had finally received the Holy Spirit and were filled with the Holy Spirit, they had become true disciples and apostles of Jesus. They finally began to bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you are truly filled with the Holy Spirit, your character, personality and nature will transform and change. The Holy Fire is not the most important aspect if there is no fruit of the Holy Spirit. Even if you impart and you are a minister of the holy fire, but if your character and personality has not changed, your impartation will not edify the other party. Especially, when it comes to the ministering of the holy fire, you must be transformed and changed even more. You must never argue with people. You must be very cautious of the people whose character and personality that has not changed. Please fix your weaknesses. When people come to the Lord’s Church, God reveals their weaknesses and shortcoming. When these things are revealed, please fix them.

Pastor Kim Yong Doo

You look spiritual but are you really mad at God?

Matthew 13:20-21 The seed on the rocky soil represents those who hear the message and immediately receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they don’t last long. They fall away as soon as they have problems or are persecuted for believing God’s word.

Seeds that falls on to rocky soil, what does it mean? I think most of us who are not farmers picture this passage as a ground with lots of big and small rocks that are laying on top of the surface. But the context of a rocky soil is where there is top soil but below the top soil is a bed of rocky sediments. Picture it as having three inches of top soil and below the three inches of top soil is hard stones and a bed of rocks.

With three inches of top soil, the seed will at first sprout roots and begin to grow. But as it grows bigger, the roots will hit the rocky bed and the roots will send its energy upwards. This energy is just emotions.

Many Christians when they hear a word, correction, blessing, or rebuke may at first be very excited to follow such instructions accordingly. Such Christians who have rocky soil can appear very enthusiastic and in fact very spiritual. As the seed sprouts and grows, when the roots grow down and hit hard rock, it's energy will go up and the plant will appear to be growing very fast and enormous.

Spiritually, such Christians as the roots send its energy upwards, "plant appearing to be growing fast and enormous" may on the surface appear very spiritual with strong spiritual gifts. Such Christians may be observed as "got it together," "appear very passionate during worship or service time," appear very dedicated," "looks like they are singing and worshipping with all their heart and soul," and may even manifest physical symptoms of spirituality. But in realty, what they attempt to have other perceive is not what they walk on a personal level. When difficult tests or tribulation comes, they instantly wither away to their fleshy ways. As scripture says, they do not last long once problems arise. Any joy or happiness is usually short lived and only for a moment.

What does the hard rocky sediment represent that prevents roots from growing deep? The hardness is their hearts. On the surface, such Christians want to do right but unless they address the deeper problems of their hearts first, the roots can never grow deep. They want the short cut. They want the best of both worlds. They want to keep their unforgiveness, hate, anger, resentment, and such as they try to serve God. Such carnal nature is the hard rocky soil.

Why can't Christians get rid of such carnal hearts? I see a common denominator with many Christians that have a hard time receiving their full reward and finding victory. What is their common denominator? This is not to say all such Christians have this particular issue but maybe they do. I see they are still MAD at God. They are mad because they continue to ask why God allowed them to be hurt, abused, or received the short end of the stick to life. If not mad at God, then they are mad at people from their past.

Such hard rocky soil represents their hardened hearts of blaming and being mad at God. In fact, blaming becomes a natural tool in their defense as it becomes everyone else's fault. This is the first thing they should be addressing rather than trying to appear "spiritual" and looking as though having it "all together."

Pastor Kim Yong Doo - dream about last days

***Could this be the prelude of the end?***

Matthew 24:42, 44 “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Lord is coming. / Therefore you also be ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.”

Ah! Last day, Again??

This last week and two days ago, I delivered the message about our position and indication regarding our faith. The content or body of the message was the same as usual but this time, I preached and approached in a different spiritual angle of view and feeling.

In the Bible, the book of Acts chapter ten, Peter visited the household of Cornelius. The main content of the story is that when Peter delivered the message, the Holy Spirit poured down upon them. When I preached this part of the story, I had preached the message in a state of joy as I was deeply soaked in a overflow of anointing.

I began cleaning up the areas of my house that were left undone for awhile. My wife, Deaconess Eun, and Youth Pastor Lim were babysitting my grandchildren as they took turn. I left them behind and went to church. After the service, when I had come back home, they had all left to the spa salon to use the dry sauna to recover from their fatigue.

In these days, the most popular topic among the Korean people is with the president of Korea on her particular problem. It has been broadcasting daily, and therefore I turned on the TV and began watching the news. But as soon as began watching, within an instant, I became very tired and sleepy. Oh, what? I got so sleepy that it felt like as though I had taken a sleeping pill. I softly closed my eyes and feel into a deep sleep. I believe it was about 4:00 a.m in the morning.

It has been a while since I had received a dream about the last days. Through the spiritual dream, the sign of the last days, disasters that are coming for the last days within the earth, and the mark of the beast 666 which is the representation of the Anti-Christ were shown to me in the panoramic view. Everyone is curious about mark of the beast, 666. I believe I woke up about three or four times. But each time when I went back to sleep, the last days dream continued with a new scene. My wife had come home around 7:30. The panoramic dreams continued right up until my wife came home. I was trembled by the fear of the last days dreams. Therefore, I prayed to the Lord facing down on my bed. My heartbeat was not calming down so easily.

Four phenomenons of last day

First Dream,

The highest and tallest building on the earth is a skyscraper in UAE Dubai. The building is 3280 ft. The countries are frantic about building higher skyscraper. The Lord gave me a dream regarding one of the signs of the last day. A tidal wave that appeared higher than a thousand ft, unmeasurable, and unimaginably high overwhelmingly approached toward me. Even more scarier was that the tidal wave sounded like some kind of eerie monster wailing. The wailing was tearing up the sky and the sound gradually came toward me. The sound of the hurricane was like the sound of an evil spirit… Ah! There is no way I was able to avoid such an extraordinary tidal wave and the wave that was taller than the tallest mountain.

I thought, “My life will end today!” As soon as I thought about about my life ending, the wave fell upon me. The moment when I thought I was dead, I realized that I was still alive. My whole family and the church members were all still alive and i was amazed. In the midst of tribulation, we were all protected. This applies to the other holy fire church members. I inhaled and exhaled. Then I woke up from my dream.

Second Dream

As soon as I woke up from the first dream, I fell straight back into the second dream. This time, I heard even a greater thundering like sound. This was the earth’s crustal moments. The ground overlapped and collided. The sound of the ground colliding began resounding all over the world. The earth opened up and it was happening all over the regions. The fire gushed out from the inside of the opened earth. All the buildings were crumbling down. Countless number of people fell and disappeared into the earth as they screamed. Ah! How can I ever explain such a cursed and tragic scene? Where I had stood was not affected. Not one stone was left on top of another but all were demolished. But our holy fire team members lasted to the end. We were all alive.

Third Dream

The last day dream continued as I repeatedly slept and woke up. When I woke up between the continuous dreams, I took a breath for a moment and went back to sleep. First, second, and third dreams continued. In my third dream, our holy fire team members were moving toward a special place. I felt like the holy fire ministry team members were the only survivors on the earth. Then the scene instantly changed.

All ages and countries had been frightened by the mark of the beast 666. Many had been expecting, speculating, and frightened by the mark of the beast 666. In this scene, the mark of the beast 666 suddenly appeared on the stage. One thing that caught my attention was that anyone who had received the mark of the beast 666 untied themselves as one. It did not matter if they were from any country, nation or race. It transcended pass borders and cultures to all. They began searching for the people who had not received the mark of the beast 666 and they somehow knew how to find them. The method of finding and capturing the people who had not received the mark was very unique. One of the methods was to dispatch little children and let them roam around. When the people who had not received the mark of the beast 666 felt sorry for the little children and tried to help the children by approaching them, the soldiers who have received the mark of the beast 666 suddenly appeared. The soldiers dragged the christians who had not received the mark. People who were close to us, people who we had known for a while, our unbeliever family members, and all other people came against the christians and us. My family members, church members, and I were exposed at a certain location.

The little children that were dispatched from the Anti Christ forces shouted as they looked upon us, “Here! Another people who does not have the mark of the beast 666 are hiding here!”

Therefore, we fled and moved to another place. In the process of moving, and in the process of the people with the mark endlessly chasing us, I had beaten up and chased away few of their subordinates.

Then I heard the voice of the Lord, “Do not confront them with your physical strength but you must confront them with the holy fire!”

Therefore, I shouted, “Holy fire!” The Holy Fire came out of my mouth and the Anti Christ forces were burned. The things that are only possible for us to discern with spiritual eyes are already approaching very closely. At first, the mark of the beast 666 wasn’t forced into people. It even looked very democratic. It looked like everyone had freedom to choose. But as time passed and as time went toward, in the latter part, the mark was forced upon people with threat. The mark of the beast was approached to the people as a tattooing design method. This process was very quick, easy, and convenient. But unlike a physical tattoo, there was no trace of receiving it on the skin.

In the midst of all that were happening, the scene changed and we entered into the days of calamity. The seven bowl judgements and the seven trumpet judgments had begun which are written in the book of Revelation. Pastors and commentaries may have different opinions but the one truth is that calamity will occur and this will be a historic truth. The important question is whether this will all happen within our generation or not? With the mark of the beast 666, various judgement and calamity will begin as the sky and the earth are cursed.

The fourth dream

Once again, I woke up from the dream. I sat down to calm my heart. I then fell into a deep sleep again. It has been a while since I have fallen into the deeper realm of dreaming to receive a revelation.  

In the midst of my dream, I began to hear the voice of the Lord. “In the future, there will be a test to reveal whose confession of faith are genuine or false. For those who are alive, they will encounter the era that will be very difficult to endure!”

After I had heard the statement of the Lord, all members of the holy fire ministry teams, including pastors and their congregation members were seized by the people who had received the mark of the beast 666. Currently, in our comfortable situations with a lot of freedom, we easily confess that we love the Lord at anytime and anywhere as we desire. In the future, we will have to give up our lives in order to prove our faith. In the dream and in the scene, the day of the two witnesses had come. The day that was written in the book of Revelation. The people with the supernatural power had appeared. This era was the era that the servants of fire will manifest the fire of God such as prophet Elijah and John the baptist. These fire servants will manifest God’s fire from the heaven and the earth. But at the same time, Satan and his forces will draw fire like us, but their fire will be counterfeit. It is like the battle between Moses and Pharaoh with Jennes and Jambres who were magicians. All the holy fire ministry team members were captured. My church members, family members, all the holy fire members as I were seized and dragged to a wide opened field. At this place, I saw who were already being martyred by the beheading. Their heads were every where. The place was packed with all of people and they were waiting to die. At this place, I saw some of my family members, some of my church members, people who had condemned and critiqued me as a cult, people who had harassed me, and countless number of other servants of God. Satan’s subordinates had their deadly sharp blades in their hands. They mocked and cursed at me.

“Hey Pastor Kim, Yong Doo! You bastard! You have escaped and avoided our schemes so very well! Hahaha, but you have now been caught! You were caught by our network! You bastard! If you deny Jesus and follow us, we will spare your family, church members and so on! It will be fine, you guys will not need to receive the mark of the beast 666. We will still let you guys live without it. Therefore, deny Jesus! Now!”

In my dream, I became a little more confident. I did not say a word. The atmosphere became very quiet but things were happening very fast. Then one of the subordinates of the devil took off all my clothes and I was naked. I was exposed and humiliated. The subordinates began yelling at me. Depending on how I would answer, everyone who were standing and watching around me would live or die.

I began sing, “Amazing Grace” with tears. “Amazing grace how sweet the sound, it saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I’m found once blind but now I see…” I gave my song to the Lord. I sang all five paragraph of song. As I was singing, I had to face and endure all kinds of shameful treatment by the forces of the devil. But I am amazed by the confidence that were created inside of me. Such a grace granted by the Lord. At the end, they could not wait any longer, therefore, they kneeled me down and aimed one of their blade toward my neck. In that moment, they were about to behead me and suddenly the gate of heaven opened as it made a thunderous sound. God’s glory had appeared. Jesus appeared at the very scene where we were. All of the people who were in the scene were on their stomachs and still. As still as a dead body. The Lord protected my family members, church members, and all the holy fire ministry members. Not one of their hairs were touched. The suffocating and straining scene of this continuous panoramic vivid dream had overwhelmed my whole body. The dream started at 4:00 a.m until 7:30 p.m in the morning. When my wife and daughter had come back home from the spa salon, my dream ended.

As they heard my testimony of the dream, we all promised the Lord that we will be loyal and faithful to the Lord to the very end. We are preparing and planning the next year revival meetings during these days. But Satan visits my home and continuously attacks my body like a tidal wave. Satan tormented my body and gave me a hard time to the end. Everything is done by the grace of the Lord. I will endure to the end with the grace of the Lord. Hallelujah!
