Jesus called the church officers of the Early Church who had been falsely accused of heresy. For 40 days, He explained the works of God's Kingdom and promised that they would become witnesses to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:3 & 8) Those church officers grabbed hold of the covenant and gathered in Mark's upper room where they experienced great power. (Acts 2:1-47) Furthermore, He appointed (Watchmen) workers. (Acts 6:1~7) The watchman's prayer requires "The 7 Bartizans, 7 Journeys, and 7 Guideposts." The watchman's characteristic is "24." "Prayer 24" is doing the "The 3 Concentrations." By doing so, "platforms; watchtowers; and antennas" will be raised, and the works of God's Kingdom will take place. 25 The watchman's prayer transcends time and space, connects the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes, and receives unprecedented and never- repeated answers. That's why seven disasters and even persecution couldn't defeat the Gospel and the Early Church. During the Reformation of 1517, powerful nations failed to defeat Martin Luther. From 70 AD to 1948, although Israel was scattered, those who had the Gospel among them couldn't be defeated. What kind of workers did the Early Church appoint?

1. A Person Full of Faith
It's faith that knows that Christ is the true King who defeated Satan, the true Priest who eliminated disasters, and the true Prophet who opened the way to meet God. It's faith that allows the Holy Trinity to work through the name of Christ, to pray in that name, and use its authority. It's faith which knows the name that "brings everything under His control."

2. A Person Full of Wisdom
It's knowing that everything was finished on Calvary. If you're having problems, you can start properly there. It's knowing "The Throne's Mission" that was given on the Mt. of Olives and the power from above that was experienced at Mark's upper room. This is wisdom. It's the person who's filled with it.

3. A Person Who's Filled with the Holy Spirit
When you're filled with the Holy Spirit, you'll become a witness. This person is the "one who remained," pilgrim, and conqueror. By enjoying these blessings, you'll create eternal masterpieces. (Eternal Legacy) A group of priests returned, (Acts 6:7) and the doors to Samaria, (Acts 8:4-8) the world, (Acts 8:26~40) and Antioch were opened. (Acts 11:19) These church officers enjoyed the mysteries from long ages past, mysteries that would remain forever, and mysteries that were now revealed. (Romans 16)

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for giving me opportunities. Thank you allowing me to hold onto the covenant of Christ that'll restore the three courtyards that don't exist in any other country. Help me save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
