Restore What Satan Has Stolen
Romans 16:25~27 “...but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ! Amen.” (26~27)

Answers do not come on their own without any change. How can you restore what you have lost hold of or what Satan has stolen? First, you must discard unbelief and renew your spiritual state. What do powerless churches; the wavering posterity; the world that is faced with disasters; and you as a Remnant need to surely hold onto?
1. What Has Satan Stole from Me?
You have lost the lever (Leverage) of the Gospel to save the world. The vessel (Vessel) that holds the covenant was easily cast away as if it were worthless. Satan has even stolen your mission as the main figure and witness who brings change. (Transmission) Like the Israelites who were stuck in their “old frames,” you have become a slave, captive, and have been colonized.
2. Restore the Things of God
The Early Church held onto God’s promises. Paul specifically saved the church, the posterity, and the field. He confessed that Jesus Christ was the Savior, (Acts 2:1~47, 11:19~30, and 12:1~25) threw away the ideology of the “chosen people,” and opened the doors to missions. (Acts 16:6~10) He even transcended Rome and became a witness of world evangelization. (Acts 19:21, 23:11, and 27:24) This is the mission that you must surely restore for the sake of the entire world, multiethnic people, and the posterity.
You are a saved child of God and the “one who remained” (Remnant) to save the world. Therefore, even before long ages past; even now; and forevermore, “only Jesus Christ” will be proclaimed to all people and all nations.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, help me to first renew my spiritual state then restore the evangelism movement that the Bible teaches.

[Deep Questions] Q: What Is Evangelism That Naturally Takes Place?
No one purposely goes to find a place of worship that is only 427 square feet of space. Among the few congregation members, most were elderly women. Now, there wasn’t anything wrong with that, but the outer background was nonexistent.
These elderly women and I went out and knocked on doors, but we became only minor distractions.
We couldn’t settle for a system that didn’t work, so we stopped.
I then began to write letters. They were put in newspapers and delivered throughout the Yeongdo region. And in that area was a house of a believer. In no time, I led Bible studies in thirty different places. Soon, disciples arose and a spiritual typhoon hit the entire region of Busan.
At first, I felt discouraged because I wasn’t in Seoul, but in Busan. And not in the city of Busan, but in the Yeongdo valley. But I was wrong. Even if the place was Seoul or Busan, it wouldn’t have mattered. Rather, the evangelism movement took place because it was Yeongdo. That is the power of the Gospel.
