God’s plan
Acts 1:1-11 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (8)

Our personal spiritual problems, the problems in our family line and the problems of this age are lifelong prayer topics that we must challenge to overcome. The Remnants must enjoy three things to receive these answers. They will pull forward a 100 years worth of answers, historic answers and eternal answers when they enjoy these three things.
1. We must enjoy the Gospel
What must we do to enjoy the Gospel? We must think in a scientific way. What’s important are our standards that allow us to enjoy the Gospel. Great works arise and great answers come, but they must not become our standards. The true standard we must have to enjoy the Gospel is the fact that we are children of God. The standards by which we enjoy the Gospel are not centered on fruits. The Word tells us that we become children of God when we know Christ. There are no other standards besides that. Evidence will come if we enjoy the Gospel. The answer that takes place inside of us that God gives us is thanksgiving. We will give thanks for everything because we’ve received salvation.
2. We must enjoy prayer
Prayer is focusing on God. Supernatural power may appear if people go deep into breathing exercises or meditation, but spiritual problems will follow because that power doesn’t come from the work of the Holy Spirit. That is why meditating on the Word within the Holy Spirit is so important. Scheduled prayer is when we illuminate ourselves on a focused level. The Holy Spirit will work in a focused way on our environment when we go into continuous prayer. Worship prayer is when we enjoy the guidance of the Holy Spirit with others. There’s no reason to waver because of others if we possess this mystery. There’s no reason to shake because of the answers we receive either, because our standard of prayer is that God is with us.
3. We must enjoy our lives
All types of problems arise in the lives of Remnants. That’s when we must have the mystery of enjoying our lives within the Gospel. First, we must receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit and start properly. Second, we must prepare reasonable attitudes in our lives. We can only do this when we have a spiritual motivation to do so. Third, we must discover the talents God has given us in order to go into the 10%. Fourth, we must discover the uniqueness of prayer taking place 24 hours a day. Finally, we must know what true success is. True success is what Paul found when he confessed that everything was rubbish compared to knowing Christ.
