Correct healing and correct prayer
Acts 11:25~26 Then Barnabas went to Tarsus to look for Saul, and when he found him, he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.

The most important thing in a field that needs the Gospel is prayer and healing. Many people pray to idols or devote to religions in order to escape from their hardships. However, what they need the most is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. When a child of God prays in the name of Jesus, his prayers are answered and the Word is fulfilled. Many organizations in the world call their behaviors prayer and lead people into a state of demon possession. What is a prayer that is answered, and how should we pray?
1. Model of successful prayer
Abraham cast down everything before God, built an altar, and prayed. David had a balanced lifestyle and had quiet time every day in which he looked to the Lord each morning and night. Daniel set a time and prayed before God full-force when he met a crisis, and he did all things in prayer. If you enjoy 24-hour prayer like the people in the Bible, you can relay answers to people around you with the Word of God.
2. Golden field of prayer
Jesus explained the kingdom of God for forty days to His disciples, and the believers joined in prayer constantly thereafter. When we pray in oneness at church, things that have been wrongly imprinted in our hearts and minds will be healed and worship will be restored. When we enter deeply into prayer, we will come to pray continuously in the Holy Spirit. Answers of the filling of the Holy Spirit come to those who pray looking to the Lord, and the evangelism movement begins through prayer meetings.
3. Commission of the 21st century
The 21st century is the age of spiritual warfare. In this world filled with the forces of darkness, prayer is the strength that can move the world. In this age of spreading spiritual problems, how you give the answer is important. We need to form teams with the same commission and pray together. We need to continuously pray for the field and spread the Gospel. In this day and age where many organizations are teaching incorrect prayers and bringing confusion to people, we need to take hold of the commission to relay the Gospel and challenge with prayer.
