The start of spiritual training
2 Timothy 2:1~2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others

How you understand and enjoy the Gospel determines your spiritual state, and prayer answers are also linked to your spiritual state. David, who experienced deep prayer answers, confessed, “The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in want,” even whilst being pursued, and the blind Crosby confessed, “I am thankful to see God’s glory every day which cannot be seen with the eye.” Your walk of faith alters based on the state in which you pray.
1. The reason and background of prayer
The true evangelism movement, healing, and prayer answers are all connected to your state of prayer. Examining your spiritual state is the most crucial beginning. You, personally, need to be in a state of prayer before God, and your spiritual state will be rejuvenated when you meditate on the pulpit message and gain strength on your own.
2. The start of prayer
Prayer changes according to your personal situation. A student like a student, a businessman like a businessman, you must find your prayer topics. As a pastoral minister, you must pray for the region and rise to the summit of prayer. Anybody can pray anywhere, but challenge yourself to enjoy the power of prayer on a daily basis, as opposed to simply praying in urgent situations. You are enjoying the true blessing of prayer if you are happy as you pray to God, knowing the Gospel.
3. The summit of prayer
You will reach the summit of prayer when you enjoy the power of prayer and restore your spiritual state. The 7 Remnants of the Bible stood at the top of prayer. Rather than conflicting over success and failure, they maintained the seat on the summit. Muslims and other religious organizations pray zealously, but Christians take prayer for granted. You must make challenge in prayer for world evangelism, at the spiritual summit.
- What is my normal state of prayer? Enjoy the happiness of seeking God in your alone time.
