Blessings prior to evangelism

Genesis 13:18 So Abram moved his tents and went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he built an altar to the Lord.

The church remains powerless in this age of chaos where the heresies and pagan religions that deny Christ pervade the world. We as children of God who have received salvation must come to an unswerving resolution that we will receive answers and strength from God and stand as disciples to save this age. For this, we must first find the spiritual rhythm of saving the age. We can save the world with the power that God grants to us. What is the resolution that we must make before undertaking the evangelism of saving the world?

1. Opportunity

Abraham, who was once weak, tasted the victory of faith when he truly held on to the covenant of God and restored faith. Moses, too, wholly held on to the important answer of the covenant and tasted the answer of saving the age on Mount Horeb. Nothing will pose as problems if we come to experience the power that God grants to us and the filling of the Holy Spirit even once while we pray holding on to the mystery and covenant of Christ. Rather, we will save ourselves, the church, and the field in which we live. The culture of darkness will vanish through the children of God who have received this answer, and the age will be revived through true healing. Today is the greatest opportunity that God has given to us.

2. Blessings that precede this

The filling of the Holy Spirit will continue prior to evangelism if we discover and enjoy the Gospel through true experiences just like the people of faith in the Bible, and we will come to see the evangelism and missions that God has prepared if we just follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit. In addition, the problems that we have will be resolved and we will overcome financial hardships and come to see the answer of world evangelization. This is the blessing that we must find prior to doing great ministry.

3. Fruit that God has prepared

If we experience only ,Acts 1:1, 3, 8 which Jesus spoke about, then the fruits will bear even before we go out to evangelize. True disciples will gather at the church and in the field, and the church will get a taste of the answer of revival. Believers will become main figures of answers, and amazing blessings will be revealed to our children and future generations. We will begin to see the greatest answers if we continue in the Gospel, the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the filling of the Holy Spirit that God has prepared before long ages past.

We can be the witnesses to save the field and the church if we experience the power of God before going out into the world. How must we begin and challenge for this answer?
