If we have success in worship, our lives will be successful. If we correctly grab hold of the Word on Sunday and pray, amazing evidences will absolutely come. God has nations rise and fall in order to explain the Gospel. Many spiritual blessings are contained within this Gospel. The moment we receive the Gospel, the forces of darkness are bound. If we see the past, present and future with the eyes of the Gospel, we will come to realize that all blessings are inside the Gospel. Inside the Gospel, the tremendous blessing of the afterlife exists. There are new blessings for those who receive the blessings of this Gospel. This is Immanuel. Immanuel is God being with us. If we enjoy the blessing of Immanuel, three kinds of change will take place.
1. The answer of changing people comes
We will receive the answer of changing people if we enjoy that God is with us. Answers came to Potiphar’s household because of Joseph. Other people received answers because of David. The believers of the Early Church grabbed hold of the covenant and the blessing of Immanuel came upon them. Paul, in particular, enjoyed this blessing. How are we enjoying this blessing?
2. The answer to change the field arises
If we enjoy the blessing of Immanuel, the blessing of changing our field will arise. If we possess this Gospel, then we can have compassion for others. Our hearts will connect spiritually and communicate with many people. If we possess this Gospel, we will begin to see the future. This is how we will change our fields.
3. The answer to change the field arises
The work of Immanuel is the answer to change the age. “You will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the Earth.” We will enjoy the blessing of being the main figures of this work. God takes complete responsibility of the health, finances, family, jobs and lives of those who are the main figures of this work. Believers with the Gospel must experience this blessing of enjoying Immanuel.
● Forum Topic - Believers who have received the Gospel can enjoy the blessing of Immanuel through worship. We must not lose hold of worship. If we grab hold of the Word given during worship and pray, we gain the strength to change people, the field and the age. When you give worship, what is in your heart? Are you truly having success in worship?
