The Imperativeness of Evidences (Evangelization)
Acts 17:1-9 / As his custom was, Paul went into the synagogue, and on three Sabbath days he reasoned with them from the Scriptures, explaining and proving that the Christ had to suffer and rise from the dead. "This Jesus I am proclaiming to you is the Christ," he said. (2~3)

Understanding the Gospel and prayer reveals answers that'll come now and in the future. To grasp both current and future answers, you need to understand the Gospel and prayer. This requires a clear understanding of Christ. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He came before the foundation of the world, became incarnate, and will return as the Lord of the Second Coming and Lord of judgment. The Truth, that is Christ, is needed when you stand before God in the end; for those who are dying; and for the posterity. "The 7 Bartizans, 7 Journeys, and 7 Guideposts" represent the life of Christ.
1. Imperativeness (Rightfulness) - Motivation
You need to change your motivation. Christ came to destroy the work of the devil. (1 John 3:8) The conclusion of your faith is the salvation of souls. (1 Peter 1:9) God desires for you to gain eternal life. (John 3:16) The time schedule is that the end will come after the Gospel has been preached to the ends of the earth. (Acts 1:8) Because Jesus has all authority and is with you, (Matthew 28:18) you need to go to all nations where Christ is absent.
2. Inevitability and Absoluteness (Plan)
You'll understand why God has called you at this time. Everyone is in "Original Sin," separated from God, (Romans 3:23, Genesis 3:1-5, & John 8:44) Only Christ can resolve "Original Sin." (1 Corinthians 15:3~5, Acts 17:2-4, & Genesis 3:15) God's "absolute goal" was to give man "only Christ" (Matthew 16:16) and unique blessings. (Matthew 16:17-18) Christ established the church directly upon faith and gave the keys to Heaven. Since the sovereign Christ has given the blessing to overcome the powers of Hell, no one can stop it.
3. Rightfulness, Inevitability, Absoluteness, and Works That Need to Be Done
When you view rightfulness; inevitability; and absoluteness together, you'll see what needs to be done, (Luke 10:1-20) and important future aspects will emerge. (Acts 2:1~18) You'll also relay the Word in the field. Although Stephen conveyed a message just once, (Acts 6:1-7 & 7:1~60) one person who had "the absolute plan" was there. Philip also relayed the Gospel in Samaria and the wilderness. (Acts 8:4~8 & 8:26~40) In the end, you'll also see God's eternal time schedule. (Romans 16)
You don't need reasons. It wasn't the powerful nations at war or the small nations that became slaves, or Israel that suffered seven plagues, but the 0.1 percent with the Gospel within that changed the world.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, at this time, help me to grab hold of the most important covenant in which You are carrying out. Right now, may Your amazing grace arise in every church; may Your Kingdom come upon every field where believers are; and may "The Throne's Power" emerge. Transform all my problems into blessings, all my difficulties into Your power, and all my worries and concerns into glory and praise to You. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
