The Absolute Plan of God

Acts 9:15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.

  Nothing in this world is absolute. Only God Himself is able to use the word “absolute.” The people who were cognizant of this and entered into God’s absolute plan were able to leave behind tremendous works as their masterpieces. This was the case for Moses who was old in his years, Elijah who was overcome with despair, and Peter who was uneducated and ignorant. These people were aware of God’s Word, the mystery of Christ, and the works of the Holy Spirit because they held onto the background of Heaven and the authority that overcomes the forces of darkness as their answers. So then, how can the answer of “absolutely possible” be actualized in the midst of “absolutely impossible” situations?

1. The Covenant Journey
  You are not walking on a different path, but along the Covenant Journey. Because the covenant that was given to you is absolute, God will make all “absolutely impossible” situations to be “absolutely possible.” The absolute covenant that you are holding onto is Christ, God’s Kingdom, and filling of the Holy Spirit. Even though you should respect your peers and their words, you must always keep in mind that God’s Word is your standard. If you focus on what God has given to you for “24 hours” a day, you will experience His works and will leave behind a masterpiece of covenantal fulfillment.

2. The Prayer Journey
  Although you are an “absolutely impossible” individual, when you begin the Prayer Journey in which answers are bound to come, you will receive “absolutely possible” answers. The Prayer Journey is the journey of scheduled prayer when you enjoy all the mysteries of heaven, continuous prayer when you enjoy all the things of this world, and concentrated prayer when you enjoy the answers of healing and the Summit. Through his small prayer, Moses confirmed the works of the Red Sea splitting, left behind tremendous answers in the wilderness, and relayed the evidences to the posterity. In other words, prayer is the power of “25 hours” which transcends your strength and is God’s method in which you enjoy the eternal blessings.

3. The Evangelism Journey
  The Evangelism Journey is the blessing of making everything that is “absolutely impossible” into “absolutely possible.” You who are within this Evangelism Journey, will first enjoy the blessing of saving yourself before saving others. Moreover, you will confirm the blessing of saving the world that remains within this journey because God’s Kingdom is absolutely established. If you accurately hold onto the covenant, you will be able to confirm that the Almighty God himself will carry out all aspects.

[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, may I begin the covenantal prayer of evangelism and missions today and may my occupation, life, and church be within Your absolute plan.
