One Incident
Acts 2:9~11 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians—we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God.”

There was an incident that took place in Mark’s upper room, where multiethnic people gathered and began multiethnic missions. There is an important fact you must take from this. Although there were cultural differences, the essence was the same. In other words, all mankind who left God have been captured by Satan and have no choice, but to be bound by the 12 problems. Therefore, regardless of nationality or race, it is rightful, a necessity, and absolute for mankind to receive spiritual strength given from God. At this time, what is the fact that you must be cognizant of?
1. One People
All people are one people created in God’s image(Genesis 1:27~28). God did not only call out Abraham, but you as well from within this(Genesis 12:1~3). Furthermore, God also gave you the same filling of the Holy Spirit that He had given to those at Mark’s upper room and made it so that you could communicate with Him in the same manner(Acts 2:1~13).
2. One Culture
All nations have idols and religions, and these have become deeply rooted to become their culture. As a result, it is inevitable that spiritual problems engulf all countries. You, on the contrary, possess the answer to be liberated from this. When you relay this answer to all cultures, you will enjoy the answer of the formation of one culture.
3. One Mission
Nobody in this world is capable of blocking the three curses(disasters, Satan, and the background of Hell). Only the covenants of Christ, God’s Kingdom, and Only Holy Spirit can completely solve the three curses. This is referred to as the “mission.”(Acts 1:1~8) Those who possessed this mission from various countries gathered and constantly devoted themselves to prayer(Acts 1:14). Afterward, the wind of the Holy Spirit blew and people from fifteen different nations gathered. In other words, they simply gave their all for this sole mission, and world evangelization naturally took place(Acts 2:9~11).
[Prayer of the Evangelist] Dear God, through the incident that arose in Mark’s upper room, may I realize that we all are one nation. Help me to proclaim the answer to those suffering from spiritual problems and form one culture. With this one mission, may I be used for world evangelization.
