Acts 16:16~18 She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her. (18)

Our lives are not easy. Children are not able to gain proper strength from their families, and they struggle with their studies. Parents struggle due to financial problems, and it is difficult for them to pay attention to their children and lead their lives. Unaware of how to prepare, young newlyweds, who are in the midst of family planning, are lonely and helpless. Even though gifted individuals are finding something to stake and invest their lives upon, they are suffering due to hidden problems. How can we solve these kinds of problems?
1. The true problem of people
All people have hidden problems. They have spiritual diseases inside their unseen conflicts. There are also people who are realistically suffering mentally. They are living fallen into depression, lethargy and bad habits in the state of having given up on their lives. These people need the Gospel. While giving them strength through the Gospel, we must give them the solution. This is the evangelist’s commission, or our commission, and the reason for our lives.
2. The greater problem wrapped with lies
People who are inflicted with suffering and are wandering try to find the answer, and seek out fortune-telling, divination and idols. They do not do this because they have a lot of money, but because they do not know the future and are frustrated. We must correctly share the Gospel to people who are wandering. When people face hardship, they ultimately have no choice but to come to church. We must approach them with the Gospel, understanding their hurt and suffering. Therefore, the evangelists and churches that evangelize are important.
3. My problem
We must completely make our problems into a platform. We must prepare to transform our personal families and personal problems into the greatest platform. Joseph grabbed onto his family line problems as the greatest message, and Moses grabbed onto the age-wide problem as his personal message. Anne Sullivan who suffered mentally herself received healing to her personal problems, grabbed onto them as a message, and fostered a gifted individual, Helen Keller. What answer is hidden inside this problem? Try starting deep prayer. In addition, we must go one step further and save our future descendents who are in the midst of problems. We must gather our strength together and bring success to our future descendants’ lifestyles, studies and futures, and shine the light in the dark fields of the nation and the world. For the sake of this, we must be able to make all things into the platform of answers.
