I must visit Rome also

Acts 19:21 After all this had happened, Paul decided to go to Jerusalem, passing through Macedonia and Achaia. “After I have been there,” he said, “I must visit Rome also.”

When we receive God-given strength, we can relay the Gospel far and wide, just as Paul fulfilled Rome evangelization. Paul focused only on Jesus Christ and experienced this strength through prayer. The children of God can receive the filling of the Holy Spirit that came upon the Mark’s upper room and Paul. How can we enjoy the blessing of Rome evangelization in this day and age?

1. Tyrannus movement
Paul went to Tyrannus Hall and lectured on the kingdom of God. When we receive God’s answers, the Remnants ̊ will rise first and foremost. When Remnants receive answers, the Holy Spirit works and the regional evangelization cannot be blocked. The same power that Moses received came upon the Mark’s upper room; the same work of God that came upon David fulfilled Rome evangelization. When we pray for ‘only’ Jesus Christ,Acts 1:1 the Holy Spirit,Acts 1:8 and the kingdom of God,Acts 1:3 and taste 24-hour happiness, the works of saving lives continuously rise.

2. Rome evangelization
God worked in the devastated fields the moment Paul realized that Rome perishing by the forces of darkness. It does not matter what crisis comes.Acts 23:11 Likewise, when we experience the power of ‘only’ Jesus Christ, the work of saving others will arise. Evangelism is God’s work. We must also receive God’s strength through prayer so it will be the happiest of times during our day. When we hold fast to the covenant and pray, God’s work will arise. Those who experience this will not waver.

3. ‘Only’ prayer
God evangelized Rome through Paul, who had the mystery of ‘only’ prayer. Paul entreated others to discern what is best.Philippians 1:10 If someone persecutes you, simply discover the Word God is telling you. Paul had the unwavering faith that he can do everything through Him who gave him strength.Philippians 4:13 When he did so, he received the blessing of meeting the lay leaders listed in Romans 16. And even after Paul was martyred, Roman evangelization was fulfilled through the people he left behind. When we continue to pray with the faith in ‘only’ Jesus Christ that Paul and the Early Church had, we will receive the blessings of world evangelization.
