God’s plan




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.

 There are a few things that God wants from us. In the future, we must raise disciples who will stand as representatives of an entire region and nation, and carry on the Gospel movement. God wants His workers to continue this Gospel movement, and look at the age with a heavy heart. God is searching for disciples who will shine the light of life in the regions.





1. God’s greatest plan
 Through the Bible, we must discover where God’s greatest plan lies. God had a great plan for the disciples of the Early Church who gathered in Mark’s upper room, despite the fact that they had no strength whatsoever. He granted them the greatest works of the day of Pentecost. God’s great plan was upon the Antioch Church, which raised up church lay leaders and stood firm in testifying the Gospel even in the face of great persecution. God’s plan was upon all the fields in which world missions began for the first time (Acts 13:1) and the places where the works of evangelism were fulfilled.






2. The plan of God hidden in the Word
 After we receive the Word of God, it is very important for us to discover the plan of God hidden within it. When evangelism teams to preach the Gospel are formed after seeing the golden fisheries, the evangelism system to save the field, centered on the disciples, must be established. From this point on, the forces of darkness working in the field have no choice but to crumble. We must start to pray for the formation of evangelism teams to save the regions, as well as the establishment of evangelism systems.
 






3. Successful start of the evangelism movement
 First, we must possess the evangelism that can save ourselves. We must save ourselves to the extent that we do not get discouraged, get drawn into unnecessary fights, or fall into conflicts. Only when we ourselves come to life can we revive others. From this point on, the environment of the field begins to change, as well. The most important start to the evangelism movement is for us to receive strength first. Then, we must begin to think deeply about our time schedule. For this, we must enjoy the blessing of 24-hour prayer. We must continue to pray for God’s answers, even when we are just thinking to ourselves, walking down the street, or breathing. We must enjoy in prayer the 10 millions disciples being raised and unshakable evangelism teams being established in the region. If we enjoy these blessings and go out into the field, we will become the main figures of answers.
