Acts 19:1~7 And asked them, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?" They answered, "No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” (2)

When analyzing the inside of a church, although it may be unseen to our eyes, numerous individuals are bound and hindered by personal and spiritual problems, interpersonal relationships, reality, and an inadequate walk of faith. Many lay people may say that they are living a correct walk of faith; however, in reality, they are unable to pray or receive answers. If you cannot taste the true power of the Word, then it becomes difficult to pray and you will lack the strength to enter into the field. We must resolve these problems in the presence of God and begin anew. The moment you can make the blessings of salvation given by God yours, the true start will commence. This is called personalization.
1. God has prepared everything
God has prepared everything for the evangelist. Figures of faith in the Bible realistically held on to these answers and enjoyed them, and therefore were not shaken by problems. They absolutely believed that God had prepared everything beforehand. The Early Church believed that God had fulfilled the Old Testament through Jesus Christ and had prepared everything. God has prepared only the best for His children who have received salvation.
2. How should I start from now?
To begin with, question whether you have tasted the true power of prayer. In order to gain this taste, pray in the presence of God and answers will come. Also, one day you will be able to experience the authority of the Word. At that moment because answers and evidences arise, the door of evangelism will naturally be opened. Tasting and being filled with today’s Word, prayer, and evangelism inside the Gospel is the filling of the Holy Spirit. We must confirm to see if the power of the Holy Spirit exists inside of us. If not, then we must discover this before God. This is true prayer. As a result, God’s Word will work inside of us and if we have not experienced this, uncovering this reason is true Bible study.
3. After the evangelism movement, God gives us the Word we must firmly on to
When I confirm the blessings and power I have received, answers of today’s prayer, Word, and evangelism continue to be discovered. It is imperative to confirm personal answers of knowing what the Word, prayer, and evangelism truly are. Then, you can continue to receive answers. Delivering the Gospel to spiritually oppressed persons and helping important individuals personalize the Gospel with God’s answers are important tasks. This is the new start to the evangelism movement.
