Grab hold of what is true!




Acts 2:43~47 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved. (46~47)

 Although the Early Church was poor, all the believers became one for the movement of world evangelization. The Early Church didn’t become one for the evangelism movement to come out of their poverty; they became one because they saw what was true in the field. Currently, people are dying in the field because they are stricken with spiritual problems. Only the Gospel can resolve these problems. Consequently, there is nothing as important as the Gospel and nothing as urgent as evangelism. As evangelists to save the world, what are the true things that we must restore?





1. True prayer
 Prayer is making the vision God has given us realistic and factual. When world evangelization is accomplished, it will be because many disciples have been established in all the regions. Therefore, we must find and raise up disciples in the field ahead of time and do the Word movement in the regions. In the future, countless numbers of youths will crumble because of the culture of darkness- which includes things like drugs, lust and gambling. We must prepare for this by helping our children put down roots in the Gospel, and preparing platforms for them to step on. Prayer is making what we cannot see with our eyes and what is far ahead, factual and realistic.





2. True walk of faith
 Answers are bound to come if we grab hold of the sure vision and conclusion God has given us and pray. Our walk of faith is about following and moving according to answers. Our walk of faith is moving according to the answers that will rightfully come, the answers that will surely come, and the answers that will absolutely come. Our walk of faith is also seeing and challenging towards what is historic.





3. True devotion
 If we follow the correct answers, we will see amazing things that are invisible to the eye. We will see that no one can block world evangelization. Disciples in the Early Church arose amidst much persecution. All curses will be broken and the forces of Satan will crumble through that one person who has the Gospel. We have the Gospel, and because of us, closed doors will be opened and the Holy Spirit will work by His light.
