End your three-faced lives
Philippians 1:6, 2:13 Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus. (1:6)

The majority of people are living three-faced lives. Their appearance at church, home, and at school or their workplace is all different. This means that although they are living their walk of faith at church, in reality, things are hard for them in their families and their fields. People live their walk of faith but do not know how to pray or how to receive answers. As a result, evangelism and world evangelization seem very distant. This problem will be resolved when we restore the Gospel, our assurance regarding the blessing of salvation, as well as true prayer and answers. How must we begin?
1. Start of true answers
Receiving answers to prayer is not what is important. The state of being able to pray, itself, is the greatest answer. Prayer answers lie in enjoying and confirming the state of being with God. Evangelism lies in the greatest state of enjoying Immanuel being spread and relayed like yeast. The greatest promise of God is Christ and the greatest method is the kingdom of God and the filling of the Holy Spirit. God has already prepared all of these answers in my field.
2. Into specific answers
Unbelievers are wandering and believers are shaking because they lack assurance. At this time, if we can hold on to the mystery of the Gospel and meditate on the Word that we have received as we pray just a little bit, we will be able to organize my Gospel and my prayer , and our eyes will open to see my evangelism. The blessing of evangelism as laid out in the Bible will become ours and we will experience the continuous working of the Holy Spirit that no one can block through the answer of uniqueness.
3. Realistic application
Though many people continue to hear many messages, when problems or crises come, they are unable to apply the Word. When problems come or situations arise, we must refrain from being taken aback and instead, correctly apply the Word to ourselves. If we apply the Word that God is fulfilling in us and find the things that we must rightfully do, we will begin to see the absolute things.Philippians 2:13 We must know that we are within the greatest plan of revealing the things that have been hidden for long ages past. Starting today, we must first see the things that God is giving to us and begin a new start and application.
