There are some people who commit suicide even though they have amassed great wealth, are highly learned or possess great power. Men, separated from God, cannot find true happiness no matter how much they struggle. Without knowing God, the world becomes gradually drenched in the culture of darkness. In order to save this world, God called His children and bestowed upon them the blessing to pray. Prayer holds great and wondrous power that can change the world. How must we enjoy prayer?
1. Start
If we are indeed God’s children who have received salvation, there is surely a blessing and direction that God has imparted to us. Many believers, however, are not aware of how they can uncover this blessing or how they can enjoy it. Rather than searching for the answer to the problems at hand, we must enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit who is with us and in us. The way to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the filling of the Holy Spirit is none other than prayer. When we connect all our 24-hour thoughts with prayer and ask questions to God, we will enjoy the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the filling of the Holy Spirit.
2. Answer
We must not simply receive answers. The Israelites who experienced the exodus held onto this answer as God’s power and evidence in their hearts. Through the covenant of the blood of the Passover, they realized the meaning of Jesus Christ, lived their lives centered on the Tabernacle and experienced the miracles of God. When we deeply meditate on the answers given to us, we will enjoy the answers of the exodus that the Israelites experienced.
3. Church
When believers meditate on the Word of God and experience the works that God reveals to them, churches will naturally be revived. Through one person who firmly holds onto the covenant, God saves one church, one nation, the world and the age. The Israelites, who had never taken this path before, experienced miracles because they only followed the Ark of the Covenant without fear. We must not fear the world or our weakness; rather, when we challenge solely with faith, churches will be revived and the evangelism movement will take place.

We cannot save the world without the power of prayer, which is given to the children of God. Let us restore prayer today as we meditate on the mystery given to us by which we can save the world.
