What are the Methods of Life and Evangelism that God Has Given to Us?(Acts 1:1-8)

 

Misunderstandings and misconceptions instilled into the minds of Christians

1) Christians have several misunderstandings and misconceptions.

① Many believe the Gospel is only the basics, when it is actually perfect and complete in and of itself.

② Many misunderstand prayer when all it is enjoyment.

③ People do not understand evangelism as something that comes naturally, but it does, as long as you are in enjoyment.

2) Life and evangelism are not two separate things. They are one and the same. The 7 Remnants enjoyed the blessing of having God with them. The Early Church held fast onto Acts 1:8. What Darakbang has discovered are the Twenty Strategies and the Remnant Unity Training Center (RUTC).

 

1. Evangelism is enjoying the answers that God has given to us (Acts 1:1-8).

1) Our conclusion is Christ (the Anointed One, verse 1).

①He is the Priest who solved our original sin, disasters and curses.

②He is the Prophet who is the True Way for us to meet God.

③He is the King, as the Christ who broke all forces of hell and Satan.

2) The result is the Kingdom of God (Acts 1:8, Matt. 24:14).

3) The method is only the filling of the Holy Spirit.

 

2. Evangelism: Church and the field

1) There are five answers which occurred in the church (Acts 2:1-47).

① Answers manifest as true power (the power of the Holy Spirit)

② Doors of evangelism (fifteen nations)

③ Fulfillment of the Word (Joel 2:28)

④ Disciples

⑤ Revival of the field.

Evangelism is about the church gaining these five powers.

2) The doors in the field begin to open. Three thousand disciples were found in Acts 2:41-42. Evangelism happens when the Church and the field are connected as in Acts 3:1-6. Then, so many disciples were established in Acts 6:1-2. By Acts 9:1-43 and 10:1-6, disciples were all over the field.

 

3. Evangelism: life and the field

1) Persecution became their platform (Acts 4:1-12, 7:54-60, 8:1-3, 12:1-25, 16:16-40, 17:4-5, where a mob was formed in the marketplace to hinder the Gospel). None of it mattered because God is alive and working.

2) Through all this, the Church in Antioch was formed (Acts 11:19), doors opened for Macedonia (Acts 16:6-10), and Paul was bound to seeRome (Acts 27:24).

3) Answers will continually come if you begin the ministry of the Word here.

 

Conclusion

1) The moment you believe in Jesus, you become a priest who can save your household, a king who can break all forces of darkness, and a prophet who proclaim this Light (1 Pe. 2:9).

2) Have assurance. Fully believe. Have the assurance that you are a child of God, that your prayers will be answered, that your sins are forgiven and your curses are done away with, and that you will be eternally guided by God. The reason you must have these assurances is to keep Satan from attacking you (1 Pe. 5:7-8).

3) Don't worry about your financial situations. There are three mysteries to the economy. There is a flow of economy that is just for the maintenance of the world. There is a flow of economy set apart just for the future. Today's reality may be tough, but humanity continues to advance.

However, there is a hidden flow of economy set apart for evangelism and missions:. You should give your tithes with the mystery of the twelve tribes;. Your missions offering must be given with the heart like that of the Church in Antioch. Your offering for the RUTC must be offered with the heart of Paul who sought after the synagogues. And you must embrace the heart that David had for the Temple when you give offering for church construction.
