The Holy Spirit is realistically at work
Acts 19:1~7 On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus. When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. There were about twelve men in all. (5~7)

A person who receives answers has leisure. Regardless of how much you know, you will have no change in your life if you do not experience answers in the Gospel. You and your surroundings will be revived if you realize what fulfillment of the Word, evangelism, and prayer are. This answer will flow right into our fields to become an important platform in raising disciples who enjoy answers of personalization and to continue this evangelism movement. Satan deceives us to think that we must do something great in order to succeed. However, true success is not like this. Rather, we must seek blessings inside our problems and see God’s plan hidden inside God’s Word and our meetings in the midst of today’s time schedule.
1. Filling of the Holy Spirit
Jesus promised to give the filling of the Holy Spirit to the children of God. It is not by might nor by power, but by the Lord’s Spirit (Zechariah 4:6). Being filled with the Holy Spirit simply means to be filled with “only Jesus.” Some people misunderstand this by thinking that they do not need anything but “only Jesus.” Denying everything by saying “only Jesus” is a big mistake. By “only Jesus,” we mean that all problems are solved because God has saved us. It also bespeaks of the manifestation of the power of the Gospel in the lives of the children of God and to those who are with us. If we open our eyes to see this blessing, then we will be aligned with the Word, our lives will be continued in the midst of answers to prayers, and we will always have fruits of evangelism. The continuation of these answers in the Gospel is the filling of the Holy Spirit.
2. Guidance of the Holy Spirit and healing
We are weak, but we will receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit if we enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit. Paul struggled to receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit before making any decisions, and he tried with all his might to receive guidance throughout each task. If we receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, then we can see facts through problems. Also, we will understand people and find God’s plan when we see them in the midst of this guidance. From this point on, works of healing will arise personally in our lives, in the church and in the field. If you enjoy the filling of the Holy Spirit correctly, you will restore health and your thoughts will change. This is when you will see the true healing of God. Then, you will shine the light of healing in your field and receive the blessing of saving the age.
- If you correctly know what the Gospel and personalization of answers are, then you will see the work of the filling of Holy Spirit that arose in the Early Church. Restore scheduled prayer in which everything will change into blessings in the midst of being filled with the Holy Spirit.
