Those who connect with God
Romans 9:14~18 For He says to Moses,”I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion.” It does not, therefore, depend on man’s desire or effort, but on God’s mercy. (15~16)

We will have victory if we know the future. The Early Church and the evangelist Paul had victory because they knew the things that would happen in the future. How, then, can we know the things that are to happen in the future? We will receive this blessing if we are well aware of God’s will and become people that connect with God.
1. The way to hear God’s voice
Who are the people who connect with God? It is those who are well aware of the Gospel and evangelism. Because most of the Christians lose hold of the Gospel and evangelism, they are unaware of what to do even after having received salvation. We will connect with God if we understand the Gospel and evangelism. What is the way to hear God’s voice? Try hearing God’s Word through prayer everyday. As you listen to the Word, you will hear God’s voice. We must find the answer to evangelism through the Word. Then, an accurate answer will come to our mind and thoughts. The Holy Spirit will remind us of everything and guide us.
2. We must know God’s plan
God has prepared everything so that, within prayer, we can make decisions regarding every aspect of our lives. He has prepared it so that we can enjoy all of our lives inside evangelism. And He allowed us to receive financial blessing inside world evangelization. Everything lies in evangelism, prayer and world evangelization. The moment we realize this, works will begin to take place. We will receive answers even before we set our foot into the field. We just need to go, confirm and enjoy. Starting then, we can conquer the world.
3. We must know what God considers important and urgent
We have an urgent assignment. It is the church and the culture. We must stop the corrupt culture and the culture of drugs in the world. We must make the platform for the next generation, namely the Remnants. Even when a building that represents the world is constructed in a region, it does not just remain as a building but it has influence on the minds and spirits of the people living in that region and the nation. Our church must become a church worthy of being a church that saves the spirit of the region. The reason why we pray for the RUTC is that we must lay down the platform for the next generation and change the spirit of the world and the spiritual culture of the age. There is no need to show off our name but we must leave behind the footprints of the Gospel to the future generation and the age.
°Forum Topic -Problems come when blood does not circulate in the body. Man must connect with God. Do you have a good connection with God? Deeply meditate on what God desires the most in this age through God’s Word.
