The mystery of those the world was not worthy of




Hebrew 11:38 The world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground.

 The world cannot overcome those who have the Gospel. Many countries tried to persecute God’s people in various ways, but failed. Instead, individuals like Joseph and Moses were used to conquer Egypt. The Roman Empire failed to crush the Early Church with its persecution. Paul and Timothy were prominent figures in their age. We must first understand three secrets.





1. Those prepared within God’s sovereignty
 We were prepared within God’s sovereignty. This is what we call grace. That is why we cannot perish. All blessings are included within the salvation we received. Those who understand and believe Jesus is the Christ are saved. God saved us from slavery, and He protects us in the midst of fire and water. God prepared us before creation, from long ages past. God created everything and is in control of our lives. Our Savior God is in charge of our lives. All incidents and problems take place within God’s plan, intentions and purpose. That is why the world cannot defeat us.





2. Those who experienced Christ
 Amazing works will start to take place if we experience Christ. The individuals who were successful in their walk of faith all experienced Christ. If we are led by the Holy Spirit, we can continue to experience Christ. That happened to the Early Church, and the 7 Remnants.






3. The everyday prayer that we lose hold of
 If we continue to enjoy Christ and are led by the Holy Spirit, evangelism will happen and answers will be given to us. These answers include who we meet, our studies, our finances and our futures. The church has lost hold of this, but others will follow us if we receive answers. We must restore everyday prayer for this to happen. Holding onto the important covenant, we must have our own happy time of prayer - not only when we have problems, but in ordinary times as well. We must set aside the most important part of our day for prayer, and be able to enjoy this blessing when we are alone. That is when we will become people the world is not worthy of, and be able to save many people, the world and this age. We will live classy lives.





° Forum Topic - The Gospel is the greatest answer and the greatest power. Knowing the Gospel is the greatest blessing and grace. The world is not worthy of those who have the Gospel. How do you respond to your problems and reality? Meditate on God’s sovereignty and Christ’s mystery, and enter into the happiest mystery of prayer.
