Although God is not visible to our eyes, we can experience Him through the Word in the Bible. God allowed the Bible to be recorded through men who were moved by the Holy Spirit. Children of God receive answers according to the Word in the Bible. However, there are times when we doubt whether we can receive the same answers that are in the Bible. It is because we are often knocked down by the world even though we know the Word. We need to know that the Word of God is the absolute standard and unchanging truth among so many valuable things.

1. Spiritual state
What is seen to the eye is not everything. There are many incomprehensible things that happen in the world. We even see evil spirits deceive believers with wrong Second Coming theories and many other theories in the church and destroy their lives through conflicts and temptation. The number of people who suffer will only increase. In order to save the world, we must open our spiritual eyes and gain the strength to pray continuously. Also, we need to be thankful for coming to realize the Gospel every day.2 Thessalonians 1:3 This is the important aspect of the spiritual state.

2. Strength of the Word
The scars we receive in our hearts and negative thinking do not only bring mental problems but also spiritual problems. Satan who sneaks into our spirits through our weak points engraves incorrect things in us and makes us fall into repeated suffering throughout our entire lives. It is now the age in which the individual''s spiritual state decides the quality of one''s life. To this extent, what is instilled in us is quite important. The only way to overcome what Satan has instilled within us is the Word of God. The Word of God is power.

3. Strength of prayer
Because the individual is shaken and corrupted through spiritual problems and the world is falling apart, man cannot save themselves with the methods of the world. Children of God who have the Gospel simply need to give the solution to this problem. Correct prayer is what can save the world. We simply need to hold onto the covenant of Jesus Christ, pray, and deliver this grace. Also, Abraham experienced the work of God the moment he broke down his unbelief. When we discard unbelief and resolve in prayer, we will receive 100 years of answers in advance.
