Heal the world!
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.
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #302 The Mercy of God is an Ocean Divine (#408 in previous version)
People suffer more from hardships and problems as time passes. Depression and mental illnesses become more severe, the numbers of incompetent and sluggish people increase, addictions to alcohol, drugs and gambling are commonplace, crimes and suicides are everyday events, and there are even numerous people who are possessed by evil spirits. Why are these problems left unresolved?
1. Problem of the world
The invisible Satan existed from the beginning. Satan is a fallen angel who went against God, so his power is immense. We forget his existence because he is unseen to our eyes, but he gives us worldly goods and prevents us from listening to the Gospel, destroying man. Therefore, God sent Christ from the start to destroy all of Satan’s authority, wash away our sins, and open the path to meet God again. With everything in your possession, if you do not know Christ you will fail. Satan distracts people from knowing Christ even today. God promised the filling of the Holy Spirit to those who know Christ, and He wants to heal the world through those with this promise.
2. Personal prayer
How can I receive the filling of the Holy Spirit? Because God promised the filling of the Holy Spirit to His children, all you need to do is believe. Then, figure out your personal prayer method. This is the start of the filling of the Holy Spirit. If you pray and meditate with the Word along with regular exercise, your mind will be healed as well. On top of that, if you connect your hobbies and specialties with prayer, too, you will enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit.
3. Answers for the church and field
There is another mystery to receive the filling of the Holy Spirit. The mystery of uncovering the answers given to the church and the prepared answers in the field is being filled with the Holy Spirit. During worship, if you pray remembering the works of the Pentecost, the working of the Holy Spirit that is like fire and wind, that no one can stop, will arise. God will send His heavenly forces to open the closed doors of evangelism, the Word of God will be actively fulfilled, and the disciples who will do world evangelization will arise. In the field, the entire nation is invisibly delved into the culture of darkness, and countless people suffer from unresolved spiritual problems. Because He wants to heal the field through you with the Gospel, you must gain the strength of the filling of the Holy Spirit.
- Enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit through your personal prayer method, and meditate on tasting the mystery of the filling of the Holy Spirit in the church and field.
