What should you do to become a disciple who saves people? You must possess the "mystery of Christ." (Colossians 4:3) First, you must know "*The 7 Bartizans"; "*The 7 Journeys"; and "*The 3 Guideposts." Second, these mysteries must appear in the field. (Colossians 4:4) Just like Joseph, you can change everything through prayer. Third, it's the mystery that tells the future in advance. Jesus revealed that He had chosen Paul to stand before Israel, Gentiles, and kings. He said that when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will receive power and be a witness to the ends of the earth. He also said that He will now "reveal what has been hidden for ages ago and what will remain forever." (Romans 16:25~27) These mysteries are known only to those who give, those who receive, and those who possess Christ.

1. The Prayer of Those Who Enjoyed Absolute Possibility in the Midst of Absolute Impossibility
Within absolute impossibility, Jacob; Jochebed the mother of Moses; Hannah; and Jesse found absolute possibility which was the mystery of God. Elijah, Elisha, Obadiah, Daniel and the three young men who were taken captive in Babylon, and Esther also knew absolute possibility. Paul and the people of Romans 16 saw that Rome could be evangelized.

2. It's Impossible for You; However, It's Possible through God's Power
Because it's impossible, you must continue "to pray; be watchful; and thankful." (Colossians 4:2) If the door to evangelism is opened so that you can proclaim the mystery of Christ, you'll be given what you need to say. (Colossians 4:3) Even meeting unbelievers is an opportunity. You must be "wise in the way you act" and "make most of every opportunity." (Colossians 4:5) Just as food is seasoned with salt, you'll give each person his or her answer. In addition, you'll help others discover the mystery of God within them. (Colossians 4:7~8)

3. The Unprecedented and Never-Repeated Mystery of God Which Is His Absolute Condition
Paul who was chosen to stand before the Gentiles and their kings, Silas who saw the miracle in prison, Timothy who was Paul's greatest disciple in Lystra, Philemon who helped Paul evangelize, and Onesimus who realized the Gospel in prison were within this mystery.

True comfort is the comfort given by God. For evangelists, their true comfort is restoring world evangelization; the economy of light; and evangelism. That's why actual bartizans that can save the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes must be raised.

*The 7 Bartizans: The Triune God, the Throne, the 3 Ages, the 5 Authorities, the Power of the Universe, the C.V.D.I.P. in Advance, & the 3 Courtyards
*The 7 Journeys: The Triune God, the 10 Mysteries, the 10 Foundations, the 9 Streams, the 5 Assurances, The 62 Life Points, & Camp
*The 3 Guideposts: Asia-Acts 13, Macedonia-Acts 16, & Rome-Acts 19

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, may I see Your mysteries. Armed with these mysteries, help me find the mystery that's already inside of people around the world. Please help me confirm the mysteries of the 237 nations and 5,000 tribes. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
