When you encounter the difficult world, many people advise you to endure it. However, that’s mere religion. God has promised you power. When Paul prayed in the midst of the storm, the angel of the Lord appeared to him and delivered a message. Paul was strengthened by the Word, “Do not be afraid. You must stand before Caesar,“ and he survived. There’s a reason why the storm came. It was because, for a long time, people were following the ruler of the kingdom of the air, who was unseen. (Ephesians 2:2) That’ s why Jesus spent 40 days explaining the works of God’s Kingdom and “The Throne’s Power.” (Acts 1:3) You must establish an eternal bartizan that fundamentally resolves these longstanding spiritual problems. Paul was chosen as a vessel to stand before Israel, the Gentiles, and many kings. (Acts 19:15) Paul understood the reason for the disaster and the need to preach the Gospel (Romans 16:25) He knew that with earthly things, world evangelization couldn’t be accomplished, nor could spiritual problems be resolved. (Philippians 3) Therefore, with the spiritual bartizan and power given by God, he faced the crisis. What kind of power has God promised you?

1. The Bartizan of “The Throne’s Power"
You must pray that “The Throne’s Power” becomes your bartizan. (Acts 19:8) Before Paul went to Rome, he explained God’s Kingdom for three months in Tyrannus, just as Jesus had done on the Mt. of Olives.

2. The Absolute Bartizan
There’s “the absolute bartizan” that you must establish. Paul held onto the covenant, “You must also see Rome.” You must hold onto the 24-hour covenant of temple construction. This is your “absolute bartizan.”

3. Preparing the Future Bartizan
After the destruction of their nation in A.D. 70, the Jewish people lived as a wandering people until 1948. During that time, God prepared those with the Gospel to change the world. Christians faced persecution for 250 years, but in 313, Rome declared Christianity as its state religion. You must prepare this kind of future bartizan.

You must begin to change your life with the power of Christ. Just like Paul, you must stand before Caesar. Now, may you turn the most difficult aspects of your life into the bartizan of blessings.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, grant me the power to save the world. May the power of Your gospel that changes the fate and destiny of myself and this age be revealed. May the light of the Gospel.which eliminates disasters like the mighty wind, be relayed to the entire world. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
