In order to restore what is lost




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.

 If the church wishes to recover important things that have been lost, it can only do so by the Holy Spirit. There should be no more excuses or trials. We must relay the accurate Gospel to people and give them strength so they can be revived. What is the covenant that we must remember today through today’s Word?





1. What we must absolutely see
 We must seek out the mystery by which the Early Church conquered the world. The Early Church correctly understood how God begins His work. It begins with the mystery of the Gospel that Jesus is the Christ, setting the standard on God’s kingdom, and the unique method of the filling of the Holy Spirit. The Early Church clearly saw God’s goal. They witnessed the work of the Holy Spirit during the Pentecost and Stephen’s martyrdom, and how God accomplished His goal of world missions through all this. They saw how God opened the door of Macedonia all the way to Rome. The Early Church correctly saw God’s signpost, which was the disciples - especially the people in Romans 16.





2. What we must absolutely do
 First, we must receive personal answers every day. Second, we must hold onto the answer that brings fulfillment of the Word. Third, we must receive the answer of evangelism each day. It is more important to gain the answer of evangelism rather than going out to evangelize. A tremendous treasure is hidden here. Fourth, we must receive the answers of the field each day. Fifth, we must receive the answer of uniqueness each day. We have to restore the blessing of the Age of Church Lay Leaders that was lost for 2,000 years, and absolutely save the field.





3. What we must absolutely enjoy
 First, we must enjoy the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The greatest prayer of all is the prayer to accept Jesus. The Holy Spirit is definitely at work now, so all we have to do is pray for the Holy Spirit to rule over our hearts and minds. Second, we must enjoy the guidance of the Holy Spirit. The greatest method in receiving this guidance is to discern what is best. When Jesus becomes the true Christ, when Christ becomes your Christ, and when Christ becomes your Lord, you will be able to receive the accurate guidance of the Holy Spirit. Third, we must enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit. When we enjoy Christ’s blessings and become one in the Gospel, the works of the Holy Spirit will take place and the forces of darkness will absolutely crumble. We must have the right color of the Gospel, and have the taste and style of the Gospel as well.
