Dear NCTC Partners,

Warm greetings to you through our July partner letter.

The NCTC Korea Conference held this past June was completed by God’s grace, thanks to your prayers and generous support. The conference focused on healing, and many precious healing testimonies were shared. Those who attended encountered the powerful loving presence of God.

NCTC Korea Conference Recap Video

(1 Samuel 30:24–25 NKJV) 24 For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike.” 25 So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

In 1 Samuel 30:24–25, we see David declaring equal portions for those who went into battle and those who stayed back to guard the supplies. This can be called the “Law of Shared Victory.”

(Matthew 10:41–42 NKJV) 41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Just as our Lord promised that even giving a cup of cold water will never go unrewarded, we affirm that the fruits of righteousness produced through NCTC ministry are borne through your prayers and support. These fruits are being deposited as spiritual rewards into your heavenly account.

As the first half of 2025 has passed and we enter the second half of the year, I want to share a few important insights from the Lord that will help you prepare. The Lord has continued to impress this upon my heart:

“Keep bombarding yourself with the Word until it breaks forth in power.
Help My children experience the power of My Word.”

God bestows grace upon us through His presence (anointing) and His Word. His anointing enables us to encounter the living God and brings breakthroughs and a catalyst for change. However, powerful experiences alone do not bring lasting change. That’s why God works through His Word, desiring that we meditate on it so that our thoughts and subconscious mind are fully renewed and aligned with His Word— producing not just temporary, but enduring transformation.

The Israelites witnessed the mighty miracles of God as they came out of Egypt and journeyed through the wilderness. Yet, despite countless miracles, these external events did not change their inner selves. Except for Joshua and Caleb, none of that generation entered the Promised Land. The qualification to enter was not how many miracles they had experienced but whether they believed the Word of God and acted on that faith.

This is why God gave the following instructions to Joshua and the new generation preparing to enter the Promised Land:

(Joshua 1:8 NKJV) “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.”

As we reflect on the events the Israelites experienced in the wilderness, we should consider God’s intent in giving this command. God rescued the Israelites from Egypt because of His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and He responded to their cries by sending Moses to lead them out. However, His ultimate purpose was not just their deliverance from Egypt, but to bring them into the Promised Land— Canaan.

This event is a shadow and type of the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. Egypt symbolizes the world and Satan’s dominion, while entering the Promised Land represents receiving the inheritance of Christ. And entering into Canaan required faith, because possessing the inheritance found in Christ is only possible through faith.

While God changed their external circumstances through many miracles, His true desire was for their internal condition—their mindset—to be transformed. However, their minds, shaped by generations of slavery, rejected God’s new way of thinking. As a result, they rebelled and perished in the wilderness. This is why God teaches us that internal transformation must precede external change. In this context, God revealed to Joshua and the next generation the importance of meditating on His Word day and night (Josh. 1:8).

The psalmist described those who meditate on the law of the Lord day and night as trees planted by rivers of water—prosperous in all they do:

(Psalm 1:1–3 NKJV) Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful; 2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. 3 He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.

Why does everything he does prosper? Is it merely because God rewards the act of meditating on the Word? A religious mindset might think, “If I do this, God will bless me in return.” But God’s desire is to transform you. When you are transformed, the new you will naturally make blessed decisions and produce good fruit consistently.

God’s Word already contains everything necessary for us to succeed, triumph, and prosper in life. As we meditate on His Word (thinking, muttering, and declaring it day and night), God’s Word is embedded deep in our subconscious and reprograms our thinking. As a result, we interpret, speak, react, and behave differently—even in the same situations—which causes everything we touch to prosper.

(Jeremiah 17:7–8 NKJV) 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit."

This tree remains green and fruitful because its roots reach the water, showing us that trusting in the Lord is like anchoring our roots into the source of provision. Those connected to the source will surely live fruitful and prosperous lives.

So then, what does it mean to trust in the Lord?

(Isaiah 26:3 NKJV) You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You.

Isaiah 26:3 tells us that the one whose mind is fixed on the Lord is the one who trusts Him. Fixing our thoughts on the Lord and His Word is the true meaning of trust—and to that person, the Lord promises perfect peace. Hallelujah! The Hebrew word shalom translated “peace” here means prosperity, health, safety, and wholeness. He will keep you in prosperity!

Our Lord Jesus also emphasized that abiding in His Word is the condition of discipleship and the key to true freedom:

(John 8:31–32 NKJV) 31 Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. 32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

To “abide in His word” means to continually meditate on Jesus’ words and fix our thoughts on them. As we fix our thoughts on His Word and continually declare it to ourselves, our spirits will be filled with His Word. The Word that fills our hearts will transform our subconscious, change the way we think, speak, and respond.

Romans 10:17 (NKJV) So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Matthew 12:34 (NKJV) ...For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
Colossians 3:16 (NKJV) Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom...

A subscriber recently shared this powerful testimony:

“Three years ago, I suffered a brain hemorrhage during surgery for a cerebral aneurysm, which left the right side of my body paralyzed. I couldn’t walk or use my right hand. My second son, who listens to the NCTC channel daily, introduced me to NCTC content. I began declaring the Word and praying along for seven months, and after three years, I am walking!

During the Korea conference, Pastor Paula declared full healing over me and prayed. Remembering her words, I continue to listen to the Word and visualize myself fully healed. Jehovah Rapha, I praise You! Amen! Now I can walk around inside the house. The Lord has done this! My son’s morning and evening blessing prayers are powerful. All glory to God!”

Hallelujah! We praise the Lord! The Word always works! Once the Word gains influence in us, it will heal paralyzed bodies, eliminate cancer cells, and remove every form of disease. It will also reshape our thinking so we can walk in success and victory in every area of life!

Therefore, dear partners, as we step into the second half of 2025, I encourage you to consistently use the messages available on our YouTube channel. Listen and re-listen, declare them aloud, and bombard your heart with the Word. You will surely experience great and glorious transformation in the days ahead!

Prayer:

I pray that your heart and mind will be fixed on God’s Word.
May His Word renew your inner being and cause fruitfulness and restoration in every area of your life.

I declare that everything you have sown in prayer, faith, and obedience
will be returned to you with a bountiful harvest by the hand of the Lord.
He who does not overlook even a cup of cold water
will surely credit your heavenly account and bless you here on earth as well.

May the Word of the Lord be alive and active within you—
driving out disease, breaking every chain,
and leading you to boldly possess your spiritual inheritance.

You have sown in the Word, and you will reap in the Word.
You will experience divine healing by the Word, and you will triumph through the Word.
In Jesus’ name, I declare it—Amen!

With blessings,
John K. Cho & Paula Kim
