Open a new era
Isaiah 60:21~22 Then will all your people be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoot I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor. The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation. I am the Lord; in its time I will do this swiftly. (21~22)

The way not to crumble under conflicts, circumstances, financial hardships, interpersonal relationships and many other problems is to enjoy the mystery of 24-hour prayer. God gave the answer of embarking on a new age to those who enjoy the mystery of prayer 24 hours a day. How can we receive this answer?
1. The day of healing
God answered today as the day of healing. For parents of unborn babies and infants, it is the first and last and the one and only chance to restore the covenant of family; for kindergarteners, the chance to begin the correct beginning in the Gospel; and for elementary students, the chance to receive answers as the Gospel elites. Middle and high school students must set the right direction in the Gospel and college students must prepare their vessels to receive answers. Young adulthood is the time to put on the spiritual armor to save the world and move forward. If it is indeed God’s plan, God will always give His Word and fulfill it. Healing is casting aside unbelief and experiencing the power of God’s Word in His precise time schedule.
2. Remnant Day
God’s Word that is to be fulfilled must be relayed to the Remnants. God’s Word, with which they will never crumble wherever they are and conquer any circumstances, must be engraved in their heart. The Remnants, who will never crumble even in the face of destruction but shine the light in the world, must grab hold of the covenant of the Remnant, and only then will they experience the works of God to the extent that even the world knows about it. The answer of the Remnant Day of relaying the covenant to the future generations throughout the nation and the world will arise.
3. The day of the church and the day of the field
As we grab hold of God’s Word, we must become the prayer supporters to become the hands and feet of the pastors. And we must receive the answers of firmly establishing the church and saving the churches that are losing strength. When one person with the covenant arises, the church will be revived, and when the church arises with power, the forces of darkness in the field will crumble and God’s true works will begin. Even with only one person who has the covenant, the field will be revived. God will open the door of answers to those who grab hold of only the Gospel, only prayer, and only evangelism and challenge with faith.
- Try enjoying the mystery of prayer as you grab hold of the covenant 24 hours in the field where you are today. With thanksgiving, meditate on the answers of the day of healing, the Remnant Day, the day of the church and the day of the field that you will receive.
