Change the paradigm of the field!
Acts 13:1~5 The two of them, sent on their way by the Holy Spirit, went down to Seleucia and sailed from there to Cyprus. When they arrived at Salamis, they proclaimed the word of God in the Jewish synagogues. John was with them as their helper (4~5)

We must see the field accurately with our spiritual eyes open. Many people are deceived by the culture that belittles Christ, the thought that all religions are the same, the masterpieces and music by wretched artists, and the false religions in the world. One person who enjoys the Gospel and knows the mystery of prayer can destroy the forces of darkness. God’s important works and miracles will begin once the Gospel is restored and shared in the field. You must do the following with your spiritual eyes open.
1. True taste
You must share the true taste of Christ to everyone you meet. ‘Christ’ is the word that dissipates spiritual problems and overcomes Satan, disasters and hell; the word ‘Christ’ contains all treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Man cannot stop curses and calamities and spiritual problems with his own efforts, but the true taste of Christ will transform your life and allow you to enjoy the authority in Christ. When you enter the field with the name of Christ, the forces of darkness will flee and all your fears will vanish.
2. True class
God will answer you accurately when you save and do well to others. The blessings and true classiness of Christ will be visible through you, you will save the field, and the era and future will alter. Paul considered all things to rubbish, confessing that Christ is the greatest wisdom, plan, reward, and background. The Romans 16 workers staked their lives, protected, worked together, and hosted others for the Gospel. This is the true class of the saved evangelists.
3. True strength
The throne of Heaven, which we will enjoy as the greatest blessing on this earth, is our background and true strength. True strength is God’s Kingdom upon all places and God with us everywhere we go. Do not be deceived by your weaknesses and the problems of the field.
- My field is the field for missions and I am the missionary. The field will be revived when the paradigm of the field changes. Pray for the opening of your eyes to see the field.
