Change your life’s paradigm!
Acts 13:1~3 While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off (2~3)

If you do not understand evangelism, no matter how wondrous the New Testament may be or how diligently you study the bible, the church will face crises. Disasters will strike the entire world with no knowledge of missions, in the same way God allowed the Israelites to fall into slavery under Egypt and Babylon. God will answer you once you discover your self-identity and place before God. How can I change my life’s paradigm?
1. Find personal prayer
The heroes of faith held to prayer with God. With the detailed personal prayer methods, you will never falter or be discouraged. Challenging yourself in early morning prayer, overnight prayer and fasting prayer is also a good method. Furthermore, when you enter the field with the restoration of scheduled prayer and scheduled worship, your eyes of answers will open. Moreover, you will taste God’s miracles when you concentrate on prayer in the face of great troubles.
2. Discover personal evangelism
Countless people have yet to discover personal evangelism, and are powerless in the field. The Gospel moving me first is personal evangelism. Without personal evangelism, you cannot withstand unbelief. The most urgent matter at church is evangelization of the church. After personal and church evangelism have taken place, the field will receive the Gospel. Possession of the mystery to enjoy this blessing sparks the beginning to see personal evangelism.
3. Uncover personal missions
A person of God must have personal missions take place; at that moment, your life will change. The minute they realized the Word to become witnesses who share the Gospel to Egypt, God opened the doors of answers for Joseph and Moses. Joseph and Moses had Egypt, Samuel and David the Philistines, Elijah and Elisha had the Aram nations, Isaiah had Babylon, and Paul was given the Early Church and Rome as their respective fields for missions. You must also discover your personal missions, skills and finances.
- My life will change after I uncover personal prayer, evangelism and missions. Meditate and pray deeply before God regarding your personal prayer, evangelism and missions.
