The way to save the disaster zone
Acts 16:16~32 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)

After the church lost hold of the field, various places have turned into disastrous zones. The countless individuals who want to know their futures have fallen into sorcery and fortunetelling. We must become people who can solve these problems in the field. How must we resolve this problem? We must gain strength from God at least once a day, without fail. And through the scheduled and continuous prayers, we must enjoy this every day. Jesus already expelled all the forces of darkness as the Christ. If you are enjoying this strength, God’s kingdom will be established and you will be filled with the Holy Spirit. Then, knowing the flow of God’s Word through the pulpit and realistically grabbing hold of it becomes crucial.
1. The answers from God will be continued
God gives us the Word that will be fulfilled daily and that Word becomes a solution for all people. God attaches to us souls that need saving where we are and everywhere we go. He allows you to know what the problems of the unbelievers in the field are and what answer to give them. Hence, we are able to enjoy the blessing of evangelism every day. To enter into this blessing we must gain the strength that comes from God.
2. The golden fisheries, blind spots and disaster zones become visible
If you are receiving strength from God on a daily basis, the field will become visible. Paul saw the field of Macedonia. There, he met God’s prepared disciples, and solved the issue of sorcery that turned that place into a disaster zone. He was imprisoned because of that, but even in prison he discovered the person God had prepared. Ultimately, he received the blessing of a church to save that entire region.
3. God’s miracles will arise
Paul and Silas received many lashings and were imprisoned, but they praised God and prayed to Him unchanged, regardless of the situation. Afterwards, in prison, immense works arose and the prepared prison ward received salvation. In this way, God performs amazing miracles when He saves a soul. That is how pleased God is with saving lives. Even if a single soul returns, a great feast is thrown in heaven. If we experience God’s power every day, we will absolutely come to enjoy this blessing.
-Make a new resolution for what God is pleased with—saving souls.
