The life of the evangelist and 24-hour prayer
Ephesians 6:10~20 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. (18)
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #478 This is My Father’s World (#78 in previous version)
God continues to answer us 24 hours a day, fulfills His Word, and carries out the work of salvation. Enjoying this blessing is the life of the evangelist. However, Satan also works 24 hours a day, prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour (2 Peter 5:8). We gain tremendous strength to do world evangelization with the blessing of 24 hours. How must we, as God’s children, enjoy the blessing of 24 hours?
1. Key to the life of the evangelist
Because God gives us answers 24 hours a day, we must discover the important answers. Although we received salvation, as human beings, we are weak. If you try to resolve this with other things, spiritual problems will undoubtedly attack you. Satan attempts to deceive us but God protects us and answers us 24 hours a day. The key to the life of the evangelist is how much you enjoy this blessing.
2. Important things
When we face problems or receive answers, we must draw the conclusion of Christ. Jesus Christ solved all of our problems. He ended all sins and curses upon the cross, devastated the power of Satan that drags us to destruction, and overcame the authority of disasters and hell. When you enjoy the blessing of Jesus Christ, the kingdom of God will come upon you.
3. Individual
This answer cannot be enjoyed vicariously through others; the individual must seek and enjoy. God created man with intelligence, emotions, and volition; hence, we will experience works when we enjoy the power of prayer within our thoughts, mind and body. The Bible expresses it as the soul and spirit and joints and marrow. You must begin praying to experience all of these things. You must understand the Gospel properly and uncover these answers. When David praised and wrote as he prayed, he gave his confession of faith. When we restore 24-hour prayer, our souls, minds, thoughts and even bodies will be healed.
- The only thing you can do for 24 hours is not the Word or evangelism, but prayer. Give the confession of faith before God within your personal method of 24-hour prayer.
