Rise toward a great challenge in the midst of prayer




Acts 1:8 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.

 What is the greatest of all the answers? Admission to a prestigious university, a great job and living in posh surroundings may be answers on their own merit, but the greatest of all answers is prayer taking place. If we have the mystery of prayer that takes place, not only will everything change, but we will also gain the strength to rise toward a great challenge, be able to give thanksgiving no matter what dire circumstances we find ourselves, and be able to endure and persevere because of hope. But if we do not have the mystery of prayer, it is impossible to draw the realistic vision for world evangelization. Anyone with salvation can pray. Prayer taking place is the chief of all answers. Delving into the deep mystery of prayer is called being filled by the Holy Spirit. Then how must we challenge?





1. Challenge for three things
 As we pray we must challenge for three things with the method of the Holy Spirit. First and foremost, we must pursue our academic goals and work in the midst of prayer. The people of the world have to do everything on their own effort, but we do not have to. We must also find our specializations within prayer that absolutely takes place and taste success within the very same prayer that takes place. Behind the specialization and success of the people of the world, the devil works without fail and as a result, spiritual problems have no choice but to come. That is why we have to challenge for these three things within prayer.






2. Challenge toward the three fields
 We can never change the field with our own power. If we are in the midst of prayer that takes place, amazing changes will occur. Satan will flee and be destroyed. Not only that, wherever we go, the problems, curses and disasters will flee. Because of me, the curses of the family, family line and the field will flee and everyone will live.






3. Rise toward a great challenge within prayer
Once you understand prayer, the true expansion of the church will take place. We must build and raise the church within prayer. Not only that, we must taste disciples arising within prayer like the Early Church did in their field. This is the true evangelism we must taste. We must experience the Remnant movement of saving the future, changing the culture and saving the future generations who will change the future through prayer. This is only possible through the work of the Holy Spirit within prayer.
