Fake answers and real answers




Acts 8:9~13 But when they believed Philip as he preached the good news of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw. (12~13)

 Children of God have a common characteristic. They have the faith to be able to believe in the Word. In the Bible, there are words that only believers can believe, and there are also words that only those who are receiving true answers find believable. ‘Only Jesus’ is a phrase that is understood only by those who believe in God, while the message regarding the spiritual realm is something only those who are receiving true answers are capable of believing in. If we know the spiritual realm correctly, we can receive true answers.






1. The lay person who believes in the spiritual realm will receive true answers
 The forces of darkness will flee before saved people. If we enjoy the Gospel without ulterior motives, then Satan will flee on his own accord before the name of Jesus Christ. When Christ works, the forces of darkness have no choice but to flee. It is from this moment on that the heavenly armies will be mobilized and the kingdom of God will be established.






2. Those who receive true answers and believe in God will come to believe in the spiritual realm 
 Those who are receiving true answers will come to believe in the spiritual realm. The forces of darkness will crumble wherever a person with deep roots in the Gospel goes. The sufferings of shamans and their families are unspeakably terrible. However, they receive immediate liberation once they believe in Jesus Christ. It is most imperative for those who are spiritually afflicted to lay down roots in the Gospel. If we are rooted in the Gospel, the forces of darkness will automatically be bound and flee. It is at this time that true healing will begin.







3. People who have received salvation will receive great authority
 When we become Gospel-natured, works will immediately begin to arise through the name of Jesus. When a single disciple in the Early Church named Philip realized the Gospel and went into the field, the forces of darkness were bound. Likewise, if just a single disciple who has abandoned all ulterior motives and is rooted in the Gospel arises, works will undoubtedly arise in the region. The amazing blessings given for those with salvation have already arrived. We have been given the authority to become children of God (John 1:12), the power to eliminate all powers of Satan (Luke 10:19), and the authority to receive answers every time we pray. When Paul went into the missions field, the culture of sorcery, the culture of fortunetelling and the culture of idolatry were completely shattered. Even now there are so many people who have fallen within the forces of darkness. We must save those people, armed with the blessing of evangelism.
