The Providence of God
The Providence of God

This book contains 42 sermons of Lee Youngsoo, the Overcomer. He has taught the Providence of God since 1970, and his sermons have been published in sixteen books. Because of many books, people who are new to his sermons may have difficulty in reading and understanding its outlines. In order to deliver his message in a more concise and palatable way, this book was planned.

I tried to extract the most appropriate sermons for readers to catch the flow of God’s providence, but it is not a complete picture. In this chapter, I’ll try to summarize and introduce the core contents of his preaching.

When Jesus went back to heaven, he took the scroll from the right hand of God (Rev. 5:7). He was able to understand completely God’s will after he read the book. So he called John the apostle to deliver the will of God to his disciples (Rev. 1:1).

Therefore, Revelations contains the words that Jesus could not teach while he was in this world, the secret that God had retained, and the plan of Jesus that he would work on.

The ultimate goal of God’s will is to overpower Satan. After Satan is demolished, the final judgment will be performed and then a new heaven and new earth will be created.

God needs human beings to demolish Satan. In other words, he needs an army for the war against Satan. The soldiers of the army are the 144,000 mentioned in the Bible (Rev.
