In order to receive the answer of world evangelization, you simply need to do three things. First, you must hold onto the prayer topic of entering into “24.” When you open your eyes in the morning and right before you go to bed, you must pray regarding the things Christ gave. (7·7·7) Jesus said to seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness (Matthew 6:33) and explained of the works pertaining to the Kingdom of God for 40 days. (Acts 1:3) Second, you mustn’t lose hold of God’s blessings that are within trivial conflicts. (Acts 11:1-18) Third, you must change your bartizan. Those who were scattered because of the tribulations caused by Stephen didn’t fear persecution at all and rather raised a church (Bartizan) that knew Christ accurately. Barnabas brought Paul and explained all that had happened at the Early Church and was commissioned out as a missionary. When you know and enjoy Christ accurately, the forces of darkness will crumble. Only then will people regard you as a Christian.

1. Raise the Bartizan that Changes Your Fate
Those who were scattered due to the tribulations caused by Stephen gathered at Antioch. That was the time schedule for the doors of world missions to open. The persecution they faced was the start. The light of Christ was upon Paul and later changed into an evangelist.

2. Raise the Bartizan that Blocks Disasters
A.D. 70, Israel was destroyed and its posterity faced a horrific incident. You must raise the bartizan of Christ that blocks this type of incident. Before Rome was destroyed, the bartizan was raised, Rome was gospelized, and before Israel was scattered, they must have been quickly gospelized.

3. Raise the Bartizan that Saves the Posterity
Thus, Paul entered into the synagogues to raise the bartizan for the posterity. From there, he explained of the inevitability of Christ. (Acts 17:1-3) In addition, he went into the temple courts on the Sabbath to relay the accurate Gospel and teach prayer. (Acts 18:4) He proclaimed the Kingdom of God which is the true answer, for three months. (Acts 19:8)

Antioch Church, which raised the three bartizans, received the answers of the restoration of the economies of light, missions, and Remnant. Therefore, you must teach of prayer, and help the Remnants equip themselves with the strength to carry out world evangelization in order for them to discover their talents. In addition, you must help them raise the bartizan of the future.

Dear God, may I raise the bartizan that You truly desire. May I raise my life’s bartizan. May I establish the things that You have given to me. In Jesus Christ’s name, I pray. Amen.
