Why do the saved people of God need to evangelize? The number of people with mental disorders and depression is perpetually growing. However, there is a limitation to the healing that the world provides. Only the Gospel allows for complete restoration from problems. How can we change the things that are incorrectly instilled in us and receive spiritual healing?
1. Change your thoughts
Hold onto only Jesus Christ. Those who have the answer of ‘only’ know the power of God; therefore, they hold onto the covenant of world evangelization in every field to which they go. The reason David did not fear Goliath was because he believed in the power of God more than the shield and spear Goliath wielded. If you can hold onto the answer of ‘only’ in the midst of problems, you will discover blessings. The strength to take crises as opportunities and conflicts as a means for renewal can only be found inside Jesus Christ. In addition, you will discover the plan of God within answers.
2. Change your lifestyle
There is a method to abandon your fears and change your lifestyle. When you receive the answer of Jesus Christ through prayer every day, you will receive the power of God. When you hold onto the Sunday pulpit message and realize the importance of only Jesus Christ, you will receive great blessings and the work of answers through which disciples arise will take place. Wait for the kingdom of God to come. Then, hold onto the power that God gives and take hold of the commission to rise to the challenge with it. If we change our hearts for the kingdom of God to be established in our lives, God will begin to work in our workplace, business, academics, and every other field.
3. Change your status and authority
Jesus said that the children of God are the light and salt of this world.Matthew 5:13~16 Also, God has called us as His temple.1 Corinthians 3:16 The children of God are a royal priesthood and a holy nation.1 Peter 2:9 There is nothing to fear. Not only is God with us, He has given us the authority to trample on snakes and scorpions as well as overcome the power of our enemies. Luke 10:19 When you set aside your unbelief and humanism, you will realize that everything is within Jesus Christ.

Take the time to pray 5 minutes every day; lay yourself down and focus on Jesus Christ. It will
become a valuable time for God’s power to work.
