The Frame of the Church
Acts 2:1~4 When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Churches throughout the world are powerless to manage themselves and are being sold. You must quickly change the frame of the church. A church that is led by people who are spiritually immature, self-centered, and material-centered, and where people act as the lords of the church, is bound to crumble. On the flipside, a church with a frame to revive lay leaders will most surely be revived. The church that holds onto the covenant and prays 24 hours will most assuredly become restored. Church history and the Bible provide evidences to this fact. Knowing this, what must you start?
1. The Triune God Who is the Lord
All you have to do is start correctly today. When the Triune God becomes the Lord of your church, accurate answers will start. God worked in the field of Mark’s upper room where people satisfied with “Only Christ, Only God’s Kingdom, and Only Holy Spirit” gathered together. The miracles of Acts arose when they held onto the covenant and prayed. No one and nothing could block the steps they took from Antioch and Macedonia to Rome.
2. There Is No Need for Methods
Because God is with you, other methods are not necessary. You are complete and lack nothing because He is with you(With), He is with us(Immanuel), and He is with everything for the sake of achieving goodness(Oneness). All you have to do is remember and enjoy these facts.
3. Your Mission
The reason why you must live in this age is because of your mission. God knew your mission ahead of time and has prepared it. Your mission is the covenant to save the Genesis 3 field(Genesis 3:15), the covenant to block the disasters of Genesis 6 through the Ark(Genesis 6:14), and the covenant of ending the flow of curses that came through the Tower of Babel(Genesis 12:1~3). In order to carry out this mission, He gave you authority, strength of healing, and the answers of a witness. God is working even now so that you can do the work that nobody else can do.
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, please be the Lord of my life, church, and occupation. As I enjoy the Triune God who is with me, please give me new strength every day to carry out Your mission for me.
