The key to conquer the culture
Exodus 3: 1~20 The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the desert to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’ (18) ♬ Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #356 War of the Soul (#396 in previous version) In the world right now, the culture of the New Age Movement is rising at full speed, positing that people can become gods themselves. Also, the culture of darkness is so close in our lives that it hinders us from knowing the Gospel or focusing on it. Despite these facts, we have no in interest in this; we are unable to realize the spiritual things; and we fall because of trivial matters, unable to enjoy the Gospel. Our next generation will suffer in the seat of curses if they are separated from God and the culture of idolatry continues to spread. Our spiritual eyes must open now and we must save the culture and be in the position to conquer the culture with the Gospel. Then, how can we begin to do this?
1. The unique weapon to destroy the culture of darkness
The unique weapon that can destroy the culture of darkness is only Jesus Christ. However, just knowing this doesn’t do anything. The power of Jesus Christ has to come upon the field where the forces of darkness are working. During your time alone, pray as you meditate on the Word and enjoy the power of Jesus Christ. Only then does the kingdom of God come upon those fields and destroy the culture of darkness.
2. The one person who enjoys the kingdom of God
The culture of darkness breaks down only when the kingdom of God comes upon it. One person named Moses enjoyed the kingdom of God and the long-standing culture of darkness in Egypt crumbled down. Also, David quietly enjoyed the kingdom of God and whenever he praised God, the evil spirits plaguing King Saul fled. King Hezekiah enjoyed the kingdom of God when he was alone and the angels came to his assistance. If just one person who enjoys the mystery of the kingdom of God arises, then the culture of darkness that is upon this world will crumble.
3. True cultural conquest and restoration
The true culture will be restored if just one person who enjoys the kingdom of God arises. When David sang praises, evil spirits fled, and he also did his best in all his given tasks. This is all that he did and yet he received the answer to see the dark culture of the Philistines crumble. If you enjoy the kingdom of God, then even if the world were to walk the path of destruction, you can restore the true culture of saving lives. If you can take 10 minutes in your day to meditate on your Savior, Jesus Christ, and shut out all the sounds of the world, then you will see the evidence of the kingdom of God in your field.
Forum Topic Everything in heaven and on earth will become united through Christ and will bow its knees before Him. Even with just Jesus Christ alone the culture of darkness can be changed. Begin the prayer of conquering the culture in the name of Jesus Christ.
